               Wins £350,000 contracts for ANPR security systems


Appian Technology plc, the AIM listed provider of Automatic Number Plate
Recognition systems ('ANPR') and traffic management products and solutions, has
won two contracts totalling £350,000 to supply ANPR technology to a UK military
base and a prestigious Middle Eastern hotel.


The first contract for £165,000 involves the installation of Appian's ANPR
access control technology at the entrance points to one of the largest UK
military bases in the south of England. This is Appian's second contract from
this customer. The system, which will comprise of Appian's Cobra ANPR cameras
and Talon ANPR recognition software, will be used to monitor and control all
incoming and outgoing traffic to the base and will be connected to external
databases allowing real time checking of plate reads.


The second contract for £185,000 is for the supply of a sophisticated ANPR
access control system for a hotel, which is part of a large Middle Eastern hotel
group. This is Appian's second order from this customer and three further orders
for additional hotels are expected in the next six months. The system will be
used to assist in security and surveillance and will have the unique capability
of reading multiple number plate formats found in the region.


Appian Chairman Pat Ryan said, "As well as winning new clients, expanding
relationships with existing clients is equally important, and in line with this
I am delighted to strengthen our association with these key customers. The new
contract wins highlight our clients' satisfaction in our service and support as
well as our systems' proven value in enhancing security and protecting
infrastructure."
