COLORADO MEDTECH, INC. ANNOUNCES
SALE OF HEI, INC. STOCK AND NOTE

BOULDER, Colorado — Colorado MEDtech, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMED) announced today that it has sold its entire position in the securities of HEI, Inc. for a price of $3,246,863, net of commission. The securities sold were 955,000 shares of HEI common stock and $2,600,000 principal amount of HEI’s subordinated notes.

Colorado MEDtech also announced that it has entered into a contract to sell its vacant real estate in Louisville, Colorado for $900,000. The contract is subject to customary real estate closing conditions and is expected to close prior to June 11, 2003.

Stephen K. Onody, Colorado MEDtech’s Chairman and CEO, said “these asset sales were done as part of the Company’s plan to complete its previously announced sale to an entity controlled by KRG Capital Partners, LLC. The cash generated by the sales will become part of the consideration paid to Colorado MEDtech’s shareholders under the terms of the merger agreement.”

Colorado MEDtech, Inc., through its CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. subsidiary, is a full service developer and manufacturer of medical devices and equipment for the ultrasound and minimally invasive OEM and end-user markets.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes’’, “intends’’, “estimates”, “may”, “will’’, “should’’, “anticipated’’, “expected” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risk that the Company may be unable to successfully complete the sale of the Louisville land. Should one or more of these risks, as well as others not known to us or not considered to be material at this time, materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected. These factors are more fully described below and in our documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any intention or obligation to

 


 

update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
