                               Trading Update

PHSC plc ("the Company"), a leading provider of health, safety, hygiene and
environmental consultancy services to the public and private sectors, is
pleased to announce an update to the market on its performance up to the end of
the third quarter of its financial year.

Consolidated Group sales and pre-tax profits (unaudited, before depreciation
and amortisation of goodwill) for the nine months ended 31 December 2010 were
as below:

Group sales and other income: GBP 3,621,251.

Pre-tax profits: GBP 198,889.

Net assets stood at GBP 5,164,333. This includes cash of GBP 496,671 after
deducting GBP 250,000 due under the terms of the acquisition agreement for
Quality Leisure Management Limited ("QLM").

Stephen King, CEO, said: "There has been an upturn in the company's performance
since the interims. Profits for the first six months stood at GBP 106,300
before depreciation and amortisation of goodwill and a further GBP 92,500 has
been added during the third quarter. There is no reason to believe that this
momentum will tail off in the final period, especially as we try to assist
public sector clients meet their budgetary objectives within the fiscal year.
The Company's cashflow remains healthy and the Company retains nearly 500,000
in cash having already provided for a 250,000 payment to the vendors of QLM.
The process of integrating QLM since its acquisition by the Company is well
underway."

"Prospects for 2011/12 remain uncertain. Public sector funding constraints have
already led to a number of tender cancellations, and competition for new
business is fierce. We do have the benefit of several long-term agreements and
will seek to ensure this work is delivered as cost-effectively as possible. All
subsidiaries are working hard to try and bring in new orders, in difficult
circumstances. We are, however, well-placed to benefit from any improvement in
the general marketplace."
