                               Project Alliance

Image Scan, a leading provider of multi-view, 3D X-ray imaging for the security
and industrial inspection markets, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ('
Memorandum') with Bespak. The Memorandum stipulates that Image Scan and Bespak
have agreed to work together to produce a novel multiple-view X-ray imaging
system to inspect a range of Bespak's assembled pulmonary, nasal drug delivery
and dispensing products to identify potential manufacturing and/or assembly
faults.

VIXion is a high resolution, in-line X-ray imaging system that can obtain 2D, 3D
and multi-view X-ray images in real-time. The system has been designed for
applications involving the inspection of safety critical or high value
components that contain hidden features that cannot be readily seen with
conventional imaging systems and is therefore ideally suited to this
application.

Nicholas Fox, Chief Executive, said:

'We are delighted that we have formed a project alliance with Bespak to develop
a particular application for this advanced technology. It is particularly
exciting that we are able to focus our technology on safety critical components
within respiratory drug delivery solutions.'
