                          INVISION TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS
                      FIRST QUARTER 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS

      NEWARK, CA (APRIL 22, 2004) - InVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVN)
today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2004.
Total company revenues in the first quarter of 2004 were $76.9 million compared
to revenues of $165.2 million in the first quarter of 2003.

      Net income on a GAAP basis was $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2004.
InVision's diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation for the first quarter
2004 reflects the impact of the contingent conversion provision related to the
$125 million of convertible senior notes issued in 2003. Under this provision,
InVision's GAAP EPS was $0.25 per diluted share. This compares to net income of
$34.4 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2003.

      Net income in the first quarter of 2004 also includes a pre-tax charge of
$1.8 million related to transaction expenses associated with the company's
pending acquisition by General Electric Company (NYSE: GE). Earnings on a pro
forma basis excluding both the effect of the contingent conversion provision and
the acquisition-related costs were $0.33 per diluted share in the first quarter
of 2004. A reconciliation of pro forma net income and EPS to net income and EPS
on a GAAP basis is provided in Schedule 1 following the condensed consolidated
balance sheets.

      Gross margin in the first quarter of 2004 was 37% compared to 44% in the
first quarter of 2003. As of March 28, 2004, InVision had $284.6 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Total company backlog was
$197.2 million.

PERFORMANCE BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

      InVision has two reportable segments: explosives detection systems (EDS)
and non-destructive testing (NDT) systems. The EDS segment showed solid
performance in the first quarter of 2004 with revenues of $55.1 million and
income from operations of $9.8 million. EDS service revenues grew to $16.1
million during the quarter, representing an 89% increase compared to the same
quarter of 2003. The NDT segment posted revenues of $16.2 million and a loss
from operations of $200,000 in the first quarter of 2004. A reconciliation of
reportable segment revenues and income from operations to consolidated

revenues and income from operations is provided in Schedule 2 following the
condensed consolidated balance sheets.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

      "InVision reported solid results in the first quarter of 2004, supported
by continued strength in the EDS segment," said Sergio Magistri, Ph.D., InVision
President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see very strong support
for InVision products, both in the domestic market, as evidenced by the recent
product order from the Transportation Security Administration, as well as in the
international markets, such as the recent announcement of the company's first
order from Thailand."

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

-     General Electric announced that, subject to regulatory and InVision
      stockholder approvals, GE has agreed to acquire InVision in an all-cash
      transaction valued at approximately $900 million, or $50 per share.

-     The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the U.S. Department of
      Homeland Security (DHS) ordered CTX 9000 DSi automated EDS for integration
      into the baggage handling systems of certain airports in the United
      States. The delivery order is valued at $105 million, with an additional
      performance incentive of $3 million payable by March 2005.

-     The company reported in April 2004 the receipt of an order for 26 CTX 9000
      DSi automated EDS, accessories and service for the new Bangkok
      International Airport in Thailand. This first order from Thailand provides
      further evidence of InVision's increasing presence in Asia. Bangkok
      International will be the first international airport to provide 100%
      in-line screening of checked baggage.

-     InVision announced that its subsidiary, Yxlon, entered into a contract for
      the delivery and installation of XES 3000 X-ray diffraction based EDS at
      Rhein-Main Airport in Frankfurt, Germany. The value of the contract is
      approximately $11 million with an option to purchase additional systems,
      options and maintenance for a potential total contract value of up to
      approximately $18 million.

-     The company continued to participate in the TSA's evaluation program to
      assess the viability of existing EDS technology for inspection of break
      bulk air cargo. The company believes that computed tomography (CT)
      technology has great potential to address this on-going concern in our
      nation's approach to aviation security.

-     The company is currently in negotiations with the TSA and Boeing regarding
      service contract renewal. The company anticipates no disruption of service
      as a result of these discussions.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

      The company is pleased with the federal government's indicated level of
commitment to fund in-line EDS in larger airports, based on InVision's recent
TSA order announcement and the latest TSA's Letter of Intent (LOI) funding
program announcements. To date, the TSA has officially announced grants of $960
million under the LOI program to carry out construction retrofitting in nine
domestic airports. InVision believes the overall need for in-line EDS at
airports is considerably larger based on published TSA assessments and
individual airport needs.

      President Bush's proposed 2005 budget includes over $890 million, a 20%
increase over the 2004 budget, to support aviation security and other
transportation security activities. This includes funds to improve the
integration of EDS equipment into individual airports' baggage processing
systems to increase security effectiveness and promote greater efficiency.
Specifically, the proposed TSA budget includes $250 million for physical
modification of commercial airports for the purpose of installing in-line EDS
equipment and $150 million for procurement of checked baggage EDS. The budget
also allocates $45 million for research and development of enhancement and next
generation EDS.

technology is not used to screen break bulk air cargo due to the certification
or approval of other technology; the risk that the TSA or other customers
utilize competing products or technologies; the risk of the unavailability or
reduction of U.S. and foreign governmental funding, the cancellation or decrease
in orders by the U.S. government and foreign airport authorities, or lower than

1) As a result of the pending acquisition of InVision Technologies, Inc. by
General Electric Company, and the dilution resulting from the triggering of the
contingent conversion-related provisions of our 3% convertible senior notes due
2023, our management believes pro forma operating results are a useful measure
that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Pro forma operating
results (a) include the interest expense, net of tax, of $555,000 for our 3%
convertible senior notes due 2023, which was excluded from the computation of
our GAAP diluted EPS, (b) exclude the related increase of 3,906,250 in diluted
shares due to the contingent conversion feature of the notes and (c) exclude
expenses, net of tax, of $1.1 million related to the pending acquisition by
General Electric. Pro forma operating results are not based on any standardized
methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies. Pro forma operating results should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating results prepared in
accordance with GAAP. We report pro forma operating results to provide investors
with an alternative method for assessing our operating results.
