Image Scan Holdings plc Wins £1m Order from British Nuclear Group

Image Scan Holdings plc (Image Scan) is pleased to announce the signing of a major contract with British Nuclear Group
Ltd (BNG) for in-line x-ray inspection systems to enhance BNG's current manufacturing inspection capability, due for
completion by May 2008.  The contract provides for a number of milestones such that £0.6m of the total £1m revenue will
fall in the financial year 2007.  This follows last month's announcement of orders for the Company's MDXi industrial
inspection systems which were valued in excess of £0.7m.

This order incorporates a combination of the Company's advanced X-Line and bespoke x-ray camera systems to meet the
demanding challenges of BNG's quality assurance requirements.  Representing a significant broadening of the Company's
industrial client base, this new contract was awarded to Image Scan following an extensive international competitive
tendering process.

Nicholas Fox, CEO of Image Scan Holdings plc commented:
"Having started the year off with an order book of £0.3m we are delighted to see that only 10 months later our order
book stands at almost £2m.  In addition we have further sales commitments under the three distribution and licence
agreements signed during the year.  The combination of current orders, a strong prospects pipe-line (both for new
clients and repeat orders from existing customers) and opportunities to expand our service and maintenance income stream
from the growing installed base of equipment, provides for an extremely encouraging future for the Company. "
