Bonus issue


Transense Technologies plc ('Transense' or 'the Company') announces a proposed 
bonus issue of three new ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company, credited as
fully paid, for each ordinary share held by a shareholder as at close of 
business on 2 October 2001.  Subject to the relevant resolution being passed at 
an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held at 10:00 a.m. on 27 
September 2001 ('the EGM'), it is expected that trading in the bonus shares will
commence on 4 October 2001 on the Alternative Investment Market of London Stock 
Exchange plc.  The bonus shares will rank in full for all dividends and other 
distributions declared after their date of issue and otherwise pari passu in all
respects with the existing ordinary shares in issue.

Commenting on the bonus issue, Jim Perry, Chief Executive of Transense, said: 
'It is the Company's aim in proposing the bonus issue to enhance the 
marketability of its shares, improve liquidity and further broaden the 
shareholder base'.

Company's interim results for the six months to 30 June 2001 and attaching a
