Transaction in Own Shares

22nd January 2010

PHSC plc ("the Company")

Purchase of own shares

The Company announces that it used its discretionary authority on the 21st
January 2010 to purchase 300,000 ordinary shares at a price of 16.6p pence per
ordinary share. These 300,000 shares will be cancelled.

The Directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to purchase shares for
cancellation at suitable prices when cash flow permits, and this will improve
earnings per share.

Following their cancellation, PHSC plc will have a total of 10,381,973 Ordinary
Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.
