Advanced Encryption Technology of America, Inc. Not Served in Civil Proceeding Business Wire - July 21, 1998 15:10 LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1998--Steven Fox, President of Advanced Encryption Technology of America, Inc. (OTC/BB:AETI), announced today the clarification concerning the involvement of AETI with the civil proceeding filed in Ontario Canada on May 5, 1998. As reported on May 15, 1998, AETI was named as a defendant in a civil proceeding filed in Ontario Canada on May 5, 1998. Aeti was named as a defendant in the action along with Advanced Encryption Technology of Canada, Inc., Ken Andruski, and two other individuals. All defendants except AETI have been served with the complaint and filed answers to its allegations. Those answers deny the existence of any contractual relationship between Mr. Andruski and Secured Communication Canada 95, Inc. that would restrict his ability to develop and market the encryption technology which AETI licenses from Support Thinkers, Inc. In addition, the answers describe in detail the lack of similarity between Secured Communications' encryption product and the technology licensed by AETI. If served in this case, AETI plans a vigorous defense based on these facts and the lack of any jurisdiction over an American company for an action brought in an Ontario court. However, to date, AETI has not been served and has not been required to respond to the plaintiff's allegations. AETI has questioned the plaintiff's motives in initiating what appears from the other defendants' answers to be a frivolous lawsuit. Secured Communications Canada 95, Inc., the plaintiff in this action was suspended from the Vancouver Stock Exchange in March 1998 and on May 26, 1998, the surveillance department of that exchange recommended that shares in that company be delisted from the Exchange. On June 27, 1998, the Toronto Star reported that Secured communications' 37 year old attorney, Doug Barnett had received an order of suspension from the Law Society of Upper Canada. The order of suspension resulted from Mr. Barnett's issuance of a "death list" bulletin in his offices in 1995. According to the Toronto Star report, this "death list" was an attempt by Mr. Barnett to reciprocate against opposing attorneys whom he thought had bad-mouthed his firm or complained to the law society about his advertising. While he is appealing his suspension, Mr. Barnett remains the attorney of record for the plaintiff in this action against AETI. Aeti remains convinced that the allegations presented by Mr. Barnett on behalf of Secured Communications have no basis in fact and have been advanced by that company and its attorney for improper motives.
