COLORADO MEDTECH, INC. ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

BOULDER, Colorado — Colorado MEDtech, Inc. (NASDAQ — CMED) today announced results for its third quarter ended March 31, 2003.

On January 24, 2003, the Company sold a majority of the assets of its Colorado operations. These assets generated all of the Company’s outsourcing services revenue and a portion of its medical products revenue. As a result of the sale, the Company is no longer in this business segment, and the amount of outsourcing services revenue and expenses in the current period is significantly lower than in prior periods. The Company’s business now includes only the operations of its CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. subsidiary.

Sales in the third quarter were $7,930,919 compared to $17,661,974 for the same period in the prior year. Loss from operations in the third quarter was $5,552,100 compared to a loss from operations of $1,896,766 in the same period of the prior year. The loss from operations includes a loss of $6,387,902 associated with the sale of the Colorado operations. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $5,619,944, with a loss per share, on a diluted basis, of 42 cents per share. In the third quarter of the prior year, the Company had a net loss of $1,239,683 and a loss per share, on a diluted basis, of 9 cents.

Sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2003 were $36,608,020 compared to $52,369,635 for the same period in the prior year. Loss from operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $5,323,837 compared to $5,203,801 in the same period of the prior year. The loss from operations includes a loss of $6,387,902 associated with the sale of the Colorado operations. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was $5,439,727, with a loss per share, on a diluted basis, of 41 cents per share. In the same period of the prior year, the Company had a net loss of $3,203,850 and a loss per share, on a diluted basis, of 25 cents.

“We are pleased to have accomplished several steps toward the completion of the sale of Colorado MEDtech, and we continue to work to close the remaining open items,” said Stephen K. Onody, President and CEO.

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 Company, the risk that our existing level of orders may not be indicative of the level or trend of future orders, the risk that we may not successfully complete the work encompassed by current or future orders, the risk that unforeseen technical or production difficulties may adversely impact project timing and financial performance, the risk of potential litigation and the risk that acquired companies cannot be successfully integrated with our existing operations. 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 in the Company’s 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.
