               Appian Technology plc ('Appian' or 'the Company')

               #402,000 in new Commercial and Police ANPR orders


Appian Technology plc, the AIM listed provider of Automatic Number Plate
Recognition systems ('ANPR') and traffic management products and solutions, has
won three new contracts totalling #402,000 to install fixed site ANPR systems
with two new commercial customers and a UK metropolitan police force.


The Company has won a #174,000 order for its ANPR technology to be used at a
large shopping centre in the London area, where it will monitor and record all
vehicle movement in all car-parks on this extensive retail site. Following a
competitive tender process, Appian has also won a #123,000 contract from a large
county council in the south of England, to install ANPR technology at the
entrance to a number of local council household waste sites. The system, which
works by recording all number plates at every site and then automatically
alerting the site operators if a vehicle exceeds set visitor frequency limits,
will be used to detect 'trade' abuse of council waste and refuse sites.


Additionally, Appian has won a #105,000 order for nine of its recently developed
Stinger intelligent ANPR cameras, which will be installed at fixed sites in a
London borough and used by the police and other security agencies to monitor
vehicle movement.


Appian Chairman Pat Ryan said, "These commercial orders represent new
applications for our ANPR technology. This is an area where we are keen to
consolidate and push further into as it represents a key growth opportunity.
With two new excellent reference customers we hope that our technology will be
as successfully taken up in the commercial arena as it has by the UK police,
which continue to order additional equipment from us."
