Avingtrans plc was notified on 9 February 2006 of the following transactions in
shares of the Company that were made on 9 February 2006 by directors of the
Company.



Pursuant to the acquisition of the Jena Group, which was completed on 28 June
2002, the Company issued warrants to two executive directors, Ken Baker and
Steve Lawrence, at a price per warrant of 50 pence per share.  Certain of these
warrants have now vested.



On 9 February 2006, Ken Baker exercised 772,000 warrants over ordinary shares in
the Company.  Also on 9 February, Mr Baker agreed to sell 600,000 ordinary
shares at a price per share of 148 pence following admission of the new ordinary
shares being admitted to AIM.  The net change in Mr Baker's holding in ordinary
shares in the Company as a result of these transactions is an increase of
172,000 ordinary shares.



Steve Lawrence has stated his intention to exercise up to 398,000 warrants over
ordinary shares in the Company.  In order to raise the consideration for the
exercise of these warrants, Mr Lawrence sold 182,818 ordinary shares of 5 pence
each at a price per share of 148 pence on 9 February 2006.  As a result, Mr
Lawrence presently holds no ordinary shares in the Company.



On 2 October 2003, Mr Baker and Mr Lawrence informed the Company that they
wished to surrender their rights over 60,000 and 50,000 warrants respectively,
in favour of an equivalent number of share options.



Following the above described transactions, Ken Baker holds 802,455 ordinary
shares in the Company, representing 5.33% of the enlarged issued share capital
of the Company.  In addition, Mr Baker holds 208,000 warrants, which may vest
dependent on the Company's earnings per share for the year to 31 May 2006, and
60,000 share options.



Steve Lawrence currently holds 398,000 vested warrants, 112,000 warrants, which
may vest dependent on the Company's earnings per share for the year to 31 May
2006, and 50,000 share options.



Pursuant to the above described exercise of warrants by Mr Baker, Avingtrans
announces that 772,000 ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company have been
allotted.  Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new
ordinary shares to be admitted to Alternative Investment Market and it is
expected that admission will take place on 15 February 2006.  The new ordinary
shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.  Following
the allotment the total issued share capital of the Company has increased to
15,034,086 ordinary shares.
