                            IMAGE SCAN HOLDINGS plc


            IMAGE SCAN SECURES FIRST CONTRACT FROM RAPISCAN ALLIANCE


Following last month's announcement of a manufacturing and marketing agreement
between Image Scan Holdings plc ('Image Scan') and Rapiscan Security Products
Ltd. ('Rapiscan'), Image Scan is now pleased to announce the first major
contract resulting from this strategic alliance.



Image Scan has secured, with Rapiscan's support, an order for the world's first
mobile 3D X-ray unit.  This unit consists of a real- time 3D X-ray unit, mounted
in the back of a specially modified vehicle, for screening of baggage and small
parcels.  The resulting mobile unit will give users the benefits of full 3D
X-ray imaging at any site within the UK.  This order, which is of significant
value in relation to Image Scan's historic turnover, has been placed by a UK
government agency.  Delivery is anticipated to occur during the first quarter of
2003.



Nicholas Fox, Chief Executive, said:



'The receipt of this order for the mobile Axis-3D following the signing of the
manufacturing and marketing agreement with Rapiscan illustrates the potential of
this alliance.  The Company is working closely with Rapiscan to pursue other
opportunities.'
