COII AUGUST 1990 MISLEADING PRESS RELEASE $40MM ASIAN DEAL But this announced $40 million of sales never happened... ********************************** Copyright 1990 Business Wire Inc. Business Wire August 29, 1990, Wednesday DISTRIBUTION: Business Editors LENGTH: 381 words HEADLINE: Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc. agrees to $40 million in equipment financing DATELINE: PORTLAND, Ore. BODY: Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc. (CTI, OTC, Bulletin Board: 3COII), a state-of-the-art leader in medical diagnostic computerized thermal imaging technology, Wednesday released an agreement with Asian American Capital, a diversified merchant banking firm, headquartered in Tampa, Fla., to finance $40 million in CTI hospital-placed systems.** American's equipment financing commitment calls for 100 percent of the financing to be paid in cash to CTI upon presentation of a medical facility use agreement and financial approval of the institution by Asian American Capital. CTI management is confident that such involvement by Asian American Capital will implement rapid CTI systems placement in hospitals nationwide and insure the planned financial development of the company. Asian American's principal operating divisions include financial services (leasing, financial advisory, invesments); healthcare products; and the strategic acquisition of healthcare facilities. Asian American also has a marketing joint venture with Primary Care Services Inc., a Florida corporation whose principal business is to identify medical labs, diagnostic clinics and similar businesses suitable for acquisition. Computerized thermal imaging is a non-invasive, harmless technique using the body's own infrared energy like a road map to detect abnormalities in human physiology. CTI's technological innovations, achieved exclusively through agreements with other industry leaders and the State University of New York, Buffalo, include: 1. computer routines in controlled environmental conditions; 2. a mass storage system that will make creation of a central data base possible, connecting hospitals and doctors across the coutry to an information storehouse; and 3. reliable transmission of computerized thermal images by telephone. By 1992 CTI believes that substantially all hospitals and clinics, as well as 2 percent of all hospital-related physicians, will be users of CTI units. CTI is headquartered in the Portland, Ore., area. CONTACT: Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc., Portland Gaylen Cox, 800/695-6956 by PCL Inc., Salt Lake City Connie S. Ross, 801/521-7300

DECEMBER 3, 1990 COII MISLEADING PR - 9 UNITS PLACED But these 9 units were never placed, one of these facilities stated "we never agreed to have a unit placed in our facility. We only got one phone call from this company and asked them to provide us with scientific data on their product. I don't recall that they never contacted us again" *************************************** Copyright 1990 Business Wire Inc. Business Wire December 3, 1990, Monday DISTRIBUTION: Business Editors/Medical Writers LENGTH: 288 words HEADLINE: Computerized Thermal Imaging announces hospital placement on track** DATELINE: MILWAUKEE BODY: Computerized Thermal Imaging (CTI) is under an agreement to deliver a thermal imaging unit to the Milwaukee County General Hospital, a leading pediatric hospital in the country, located in Milwaukee. Milwaukee County is a 1,200 bed facility which plans to utilize additional termal imaging units before the end of the first year. CTI, moreover, has verbal agreements from the following medical facilities: Highland Park Imaging Center (2 units) University of Chicago (2 units) Rush Presbyterian Saint Lukes (3 units) University of Wisconsin (1 unit) Management believes all of the above verbal agreements should be signed within 30 days. Each thermal imaging unit sold brings in a minimum of $225,000 in revenue. Once the unit is in, furthermore, the contract (which is locked into for 6 years) provides the medical facility with an average $500 per case, which translates into $600,000 of which CTI receives 25 percent or $150,000 on an annual basis. Management bases this figure on the following conservative estimate. 100 cases per month x 12 months x $500 per case x 25 percent = $150,000 Based on the above verbal agreements, this translates into $3.5 million in the first year, and $2 million thereafter on a residual basis with no increase in case load. Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc. is the state-of-the-art leader in medical diagnostic computerized thermal imaging technology. Computerized thermal imaging is a non-invasive, harmless technique using the body's own infrared energy like a road map to detect abnormalities in human physiology.

David B. Johnston, president and chief executive officer, stated that "The completion of this acquisition and financing will constitute a major breakthrough for CTI, allowing the company to finance the installation of the first 10 systems ordered by hospitals around the country." Johnston further stated, "In addition, having the first installation at a medical facility owned by the company will provide an installed and operating site system for other hospitals to visit and examine results of performance activities, while providing the company with the asset base and operating revenues and profits to expand." Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. CTI is the first thermal imaging company to provide an objective diagnostic assessment tool that measures multiple parameters including facile enclosure of thermal features, statistical assessment of temperature distribution in the enclosed domains and the use of temperature gradient profiles used in diagnostic testing.

Under agreement with the Peoples Republic of China, Computerized Thermal Imaging (OTC BULLETIN BOARD: COII) will provide thermal imaging and telemedicine capabilities in 6,000 selected hospitals and in an additional 200,000 remote clinics.

COII JUNE 22, 1995 ARTICLE REGARDING 6000 CHINA HOSPITALS, 200,000 REMOTE CLINICS, But in reality no units were ever sold in China, and sales did not show up in the following Quarter's financials as Johnston claimed... June 22, 1995, Thursday, PM cycle SECTION: Business News LENGTH: 341 words HEADLINE: Former Iran-Contra Figure Working to Revamp China's Health Care DATELINE: PORTLAND, Ore. BODY: Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard Secord, a key figure in the Iran-Contra affair, has been hired by an Oregon company to help computerize China's health-care system. Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc. of Lake Oswego, Ore., named Secord president for international operations in its venture with Electronic Data Systems and Fluor Daniel Inc. to convert China to a paperless system. The project involves installation of $ 500,000 thermal imaging systems at 6,000 hospitals throughout China, and installation of smaller $ 85,000 systems at another 200,000 remote clinics. "For many years, I was in charge of the policy office at the Pentagon that handled foreign military sales," Secord said early today from his hotel in Beijing. "What we're doing here is the flip side." Chinese patients will be provided with health cards that contain their personal medical histories. According to Computerized Thermal Imaging, Dallas-based EDS, a subsidiary of General Motors, will integrate the computer systems and transfer the medical data. Fluor Daniel, an international engineering conglomerate based in Irvine, Calif., will manage the project. Secord said he learned about Computerized Thermal Imaging when he was studying the company as a potential investor. The company has begun installing card readers under a joint venture contract with the Chinese Ministry of Public Health, said David Johnston, president of Computerized Thermal Imaging. He also was in Beijing. Computerized Thermal Imaging has no revenues to date, Johnston said, but the China venture should begin showing up in its financial statements in the next quarter. He said the publicly-traded company expects to gain a NASDAQ listing within the next 150 days. Secord drew headlines in the Reagan era when he acknowledged working for then-White House aide Oliver North to help arrange arms shipments to Nicaraguan rebels and to the Iranian government. In 1990, Secord was sentenced to two years on probation for making false statements to congressional investigators.
