A Letter to Our Readers:Red Herring named in baseless defamation suit. by Blaise Zerega September 13, 2002 Red Herring Communications yesterday was sued for libel by Imagis Technologies (OTC: IGSTF) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Also named in the suit is our contributing editor, Christopher Byron, author of the monthly column, "The Contrarian." The Imagis lawsuit alleges that "Feds, Face Recognition, and a Fishy Fund," which was published in our September issue (online it was titled "The Perils of Penny Stocks"), is defamatory. The action is without merit. We stand behind Mr. Byron's column fully. As a journalistic enterprise, we strive to deliver accurate, fair, and balanced reporting. Our ethics policy demands that "we must be accountable: we promise to investigate all complaints and correct all mistakes of fact, context, and fairness." Accordingly, we investigated Imagis's allegations and determined that the facts reported in Mr. Byron's column are accurate and that they support the opinions he expressed. Imagis has neither proven any factual errors nor has it responded to repeated requests to submit a letter to the editor for publication. Our online partner, MSNBC Interactive, which republished the column on its website and received a complaint from Imagis also made a similar request which went unheeded. Instead, Imagis issued a press release in which it incorrectly stated that their complaint resulted in the column being pulled from the MSNBC site. We invite you, our readers, to follow this matter closely. The Imagis lawsuit is an attack on Red Herring's editorial mission because it seeks to curtail the bold and original style of business journalism that is our signature. We have informed Imagis that Red Herring will not retract published writings simply because the subject of a column does not like what has been written and files a lawsuit. Sincerely, Blaise Zerega Editor This letter was last updated on September 13, 2002. redherring.com

Re: 9/5/02 - [GMXX] GeneMax Corp. Announces Litigation Regarding Manipulative Trading Abuses GeneMax Corp. Announces Litigation Regarding Manipulative Trading Abuses Thursday September 5, 9:30 am ET BLAINE, Wash., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GENEMAX CORP. ("the Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: GMXX; Frankfurt: GX1) announced today that it has issued lawsuits in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Global Securities Corporation and Union Securities Corporation of Vancouver (the "Defendants") for violation of fair-trading practices, negligence and/or fraud, share price manipulation, and other causes of action. The allegations by the Company center on illegal naked short selling conducted by Global Securities and Union Securities to manipulate share price for profit and gain in violation of Company certification bylaws, exchange policies, and laws of Canada and the United States. The naked short selling conducted causes artificial inflation of the Company's trading float of common shares to wrongfully decrease or suppress the true market price of the Company's stock. The Company seeks damages from actions of the Defendants that include loss of investment opportunity, injury to reputation, artificial issuance of shares that results in illegal devaluation of its securities, and other damages. The Company alleges that the Defendants' actions contravene the provisions of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the Criminal Code of Canada, and the United States Securities Act of 1934. Shareholders have complained to the Company that they cannot obtain their share certificates when they purchase GeneMax shares from their broker. The Company has knowledge of other GeneMax shareholder lawsuits to be filed against broker dealers for breaches of contract stemming from failure to deliver shares purchased by GeneMax shareholders, and interest by GeneMax shareholders to participate in a class action lawsuit for shareholder damages caused by naked short selling. GeneMax shareholders interested in possible participation in a class action lawsuit should contact the Company (Toll Free 866-872-0077) for further details to provide their name, address, number of shares purchased and date purchased, and telephone contact information.
