TRADING UPDATE
Image Scan, (AIM: IGE) specialists in the field of real-time
X-ray imaging for the security and industrial inspection markets,
provides a trading update ahead of its 2017 Annual General Meeting
to be held at 13:30 today.
Key Points:
-- Strong first quarter trading as remaining units from the
large portable X-ray order were delivered ahead of schedule
-- New orders received maintain orderbook of over GBP1m
-- New compact detector panel developed - will be launched at
Asian security exhibition in April 2017
-- Precision Linescan Detector (PLD) scheduled for mid-year launch
-- Following extensive trials, recent industrial customer selects MDXi400 to new plant
-- Contract to further develop new techniques for scanning large industrial parts
The Company's manufacturing operations have continued to be busy
with multiple portable X-ray units delivered ahead of the contract
schedule in the three months to end December 2016. New orders have
been received from customers in Europe and Asia, helping the
company maintain a strong orderbook.
It was decided to accelerate development of a compact version of
our detector panel, which has been designated Threatscan(R) LS3. A
prototype has been designed and manufactured and the new product
will be launched at the Milipol security exhibition in Singapore in
April 2017 and demonstrations are being scheduled. The LS3 makes
the superior imaging performance of the successful Threatscan(R)
LS1 system available in a small format detector that can be
deployed in a back-pack by mobile Explosives Ordnance Disposal
(EOD) teams.
The Precision Linescan Detector (PLD), which is being developed
with grant support and incorporates new technology from IBEX
Innovations, is coming to the end of the development phase.
Software integration is in progress and a second prototype is being
built. This product is expected to launch in Mid-2017.
A key milestone in the industrial side of the business has seen
a customer who has been carrying out an extended evaluation of our
MDXi400 system procure a new system for operational deployment in a
new manufacturing plant in eastern Europe. Following a successful
initial customer funded development program, a contract to further
develop new techniques for inspection of large automotive parts has
been won.
Image Scan's Chairman and Chief Executive, Bill Mawer,
commented: "I am pleased with the performance of the business in
the first quarter of this year. Our manufacturing and supply chain
operation continues to run smoothly, beating contract schedules. I
am excited by our new compact detector, the Threatscan(R) LS3. The
speed with which this has been developed is testimony to our
modular approach to both hardware and software design. With the
Precision Linescan Detector making good progress also, 2017 is
likely to be a strong year for new products. At this early stage of
the year the business is trading in line with market
expectations."
At its Annual General Meeting to be held today at 1.30pm, the
Board will give a brief presentation, a copy of which will shortly
be made available on the Company's website www.3dx-ray.com. No new
material information will be provided during the presentation.
