New Contract


The directors of Formscan plc, which specialises in Document Integrity and Case
Management Solutions, are pleased to announce that its US subsidiary, Formscan
Inc, has received a large order from Japan for its Inspectron Vision Systems.


The order, valued at over #500,000, is for delivery to the second largest forms
printing company in Japan. Formscan's partner in Japan will integrate 78
high-speed machine vision systems into the overall solution being delivered to
their customer. These units will monitor code numbering and sequence checking of
forms and telephone bills, as they are printed at very high speed.


Delivery is required before July 31 this year. A substantial deposit with order
will fund manufacturing of the systems, almost half of which will be supplied
from existing inventory.


Chairman Allan Harle reports, "Since its acquisition of the business and assets
of Inspectron Corp a year ago, Formscan has been able to revive a number of
earlier Inspectron sales prospects. This order is the largest received for one
batch of Vision Systems, and reinforces the benefits of combining the Formscan
and Inspectron organizations, especially in competition for International
business.


Formscan's business volumes in both UK and US are increasing over the levels of
last year, and this order will help to underpin Formscan's planned return to
profitability for the current year. "
