Trading Statement

Company Image Scan Holdings PLC TIDM IGE Headline Trading Update Released 23 March 2006 Reference ish230306 Image Scan Holdings PLC ("Image Scan Holdings") Trading Update The Board of Image Scan Holdings is pleased to present a trading update to coincide with the AGM being held at 10am today. In the months since the preliminary announcement, the Company has built on the positive advances made in 2005. The launch of TPXi, the new security product targeted at explosives and ordnance detection, was swiftly followed by orders in excess of £170,000 including a number of units for the British Transport Police. The Company has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with KeTech Defence for sales of TPXi in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Japan, and is close to appointing another distributor to cover Europe and other territories. The two in-line inspection systems for Johnson Matthey in the UK and the US have been delivered and we continue to work closely with them to identify further opportunities for our technology. The orders for the year to date have increased from £326,000 at the start of the year and now stand at £940,000. This compares very favourably with the turnover of £843,000 for the whole of 2005. Whereas industrial sales dominated turnover last year, the renewed contract with Rapiscan Systems Ltd, the TPXi sales and the recent sale of an AXIS-3D® baggage screening system to China have resulted in a greater bias towards security in 2006. The ability to apply the technology to two very strong markets is seen as a key factor in driving the business towards profitability. In view of the increased level of activity, the Company has today obtained £200,000 of additional working capital by way of a secured loan with warrants to subscribe for up to 909,090 ordinary shares at 22p within twelve months.
