City of Industry, Calif. — May 5, 2004 — Global ePoint, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: GEPT) received orders for industrial computers totaling approximately $4.8 million from the major suppliers of conventional X–ray security screening systems for airports in the United States.

Under existing agreements with Rapiscan Security Products, Inc. and L3 Security & Detection System, the Company’s contract manufacturing division, Best Logic, will manufacture custom–designed industrial–grade computers and begin deliveries this month and continue through March 2005. The Company’s computers will be integrated into X–ray scanning systems, which are sold by Rapiscan and L3 to airports throughout the United States.
