Danke für die Antwort; haben die sonst keine Infos rausgerückt? (Amex-Listing oder übernahmeangebot - hier wollte Imagis doch im April 60-90 Tage Bedenkzeit)

Beschissenes Gefühl mit den schwimmenden Fellen !

[Pechpilz]

OK - die 60-90 Tage sind ja noch gar nicht rum !

[Mr. Aktie]

Also mehr rausrücken können die ja nicht, damit schaden die sich dann ja selbst, doch hieß es, die Verhandlungen laufen angeblich noch, einen Verweis auf den letzten Quartalsbericht gab es auch noch.
Summasummarum: Ansich hatte ich ein gutes Gefühl, doch wer sich nur auf Gefühle verläßt...

Viel Glück...

Guten Abend,

ein Großteil der Verluste wurde wieder gutgemacht Wie bereits erwähnt läuft hinter der Bühne ein Spielchen, was leider auf den Aktienkurs drückt. Fundamental hat sich nichts geändert, und wenn es Streitigkeiten wegen 1,8 Mio. gibt, so wird ein Gericht entscheiden, wer Recht bekommt. Geht aber nicht zu Lasten der Company.

Good luck

Imagis founder draws private investigation
Imagis Technologies Inc NAB
Shares issued 17,324,968 Jun 12 2002 close $2.550
Thursday Jun 13 2002 Street Wire

SPOOK STORY

by Lee M. Webb

Imagis Technologies Inc.`s founder and current director, Altaf Nazerali, is the subject of a private investigation, according to the head of an international investigative firm reportedly specializing in due diligence and corporate background investigations. The private probe of Mr. Nazerali, a Howe Street veteran, comes as Imagis`s stock price has hit some turbulence.

Vancouver-based Imagis, a heavily promoted biometric player, markets its facial recognition technology to law enforcement agencies and airports, among other potential customers. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the company`s promotional emphasis has centred on potential applications of its biometric technology in airport security. Like other public biometric companies, Imagis`s stock price, which had been languishing at approximately 60 cents in desultory trading, soared in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. By the end of last year, Imagis was changing hands for more than $2 per share and was headed higher.

Already buoyed by increased market interest in biometric companies, Imagis`s stock price got another boost in early March, just as the trading restrictions on millions of Imagis shares expired. A weasel worded March 6 announcement issued by an obscure Boston-based investment firm, the Pembridge Group, hired by Imagis as a financial adviser just two months earlier, was widely misinterpreted and misreported as a $4.10 (U.S.) per share buyout offer for the company. In heavy trading, the stock rocketed to a 52-week high of $5.66 in the wake of the crafty Pembridge announcement.

While Iain Drummond, Imagis`s president and chief executive officer, touted the Pembridge announcement as a buyout offer, a claim also made in reports by the National Post, The Boston Herald and CBC Newsworld, Canada Stockwatch has consistently and correctly reported that the Boston banker did not make an offer of $4.10 (U.S.) per share for the company. Sandra Buschau, Imagis`s vice-president of investor relations, and Rory Godinho, a securities lawyer and company director, have both acknowledged that Pembridge did not make a buyout offer.

Since the Pembridge brouhaha erupted, Imagis`s volatile stock price has tumbled to less than half of its Boston-baked 52-week high of $5.66. While it is not known whether the reported investigation of Mr. Nazerali is related to Imagis`s wobbly share price, the U.S.-based private gumshoe, Terrence Burke, recently contacted the Stockwatch reporter covering the company.

"My name is Terrence Burke and I have an investigative firm that I operate out of Colorado and London, specializing in due diligence and corporate background investigations throughout the world," Mr. Burke wrote in a June 5 E-mail. "I am currently conducting an inquiry on behalf of a European client who is interested in the character, reputation, etc., of a Vancouver based businessman, Altaf Nazerali."

According to the biographical information on his Web site, Mr. Burke founded his own investigation firm, TM Burke International, after serving from 1991 to 2001 as the director of international operations for The Investigative Group International. His previous impressive law enforcement background includes a 20-year stint with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as deputy administrator and acting administrator, and 10 years as an intelligence officer with the Central Intelligence Agency.

"During the last ten years, he has assisted corporate, legal and personal clients in risk prevention and problem solving by developing reliable information from proven sources," TM Burke`s Web site claims. Whatever the specific nature of the inquiry involving Mr. Nazerali being conducted on behalf of Mr. Burke`s unidentified European client, the former CIA agent suggested that a Stockwatch reporter might be of some assistance.

"In conducting general press research, my researcher alerted me to the fact that several articles written by you have mentioned Mr. Nazerali," Mr. Burke wrote. "I signed on to Stockwatch and reviewed the articles. While most of the information there regarding Mr. Nazerali is dated (BCCI, etc.) and already known to my client, I thought it might be worthwhile to speak to you to see if you could assist me in some other, more current, but related areas that have come to my attention."

Among other things, Stockwatch articles have sketched Mr. Nazerali`s reported association with legendary boiler room operator Irving Kott and his ties to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), a bank fraud that saw $30-billion evaporate when it collapsed. After repeatedly running afoul of Canadian regulators, Mr. Kott set up shop in Amsterdam, flogging stock through First Commerce Securities and funnelling much of the money through BCCI, dubbed the Bank of Crooks and Criminals International. Dutch authorities raided First Commerce in May of 1986 and the following year the boiler room was forced into bankruptcy. Estimates of how much investors lost in the First Commerce debacle range as high as $400-million (U.S.). According to award-winning U.S. journalists Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, who co-authored the 1992 book False Profits: The Inside Story of BCCI, the World`s Most Corrupt Financial Empire, Mr. Nazerali served as the principal front man for Mr. Kott.

Canadian journalist Diane Francis also linked Mr. Nazerali to Mr. Kott`s Amsterdam boiler room in her 1988 book Contraprenuers: Stock-Market Fraud and Money Laundering in Canada. Mr. Nazerali reportedly did not think much of Ms. Francis`s depiction of him. According to an article in the Jan. 2 to Jan. 8, 1996, edition of Business in Vancouver, Mr. Nazerali dismissed Ms. Francis`s account as irresponsible, untrue and poorly researched. Mr. Nazerali went on to explain that he was unwittingly deceived when he bought First Commerce before realizing that Mr. Kott controlled the company. Mr. Nazerali also claimed that he was just an innocent customer of BCCI and "lost money just like everyone else."

In dismissing Ms. Francis`s account of his association with Mr. Kott, Mr. Nazerali pointed out that her physical description of him was totally wrong. "While in Luxembourg, van Apeldoorn met a mysterious black man named Altaf Nazerali, a six-foot four-inch former bodyguard whose brother is linked to Irving Kott," Ms. Francis wrote in Contrapreneurs. Evidently that physical description was off the mark; moreover, the reported association of Mr. Nazerali`s brother with Mr. Kott is also a matter of some dispute.

Mr. Nazerali`s brother, Shafiq Nazerali, also known as Shafiq Nazerali-Walji, is currently a consultant to Imagis. In 1997, Atlas Capital Group Ltd., headed by Hanif Mawji, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Shafiq Nazerali, ZMAX Corp., and a number of offshore entities including Anker Bank, Bank Sarasin & Co., Interallianz Bank, Credit Lyonnais (Suisse SA) Rahn & Bodmer, Credit Suisse, Banca del Gottardo, BIL Banque International a Luxembourg (Suisse) SA, Darier, Hentsch & Cie., Darier Hentsch Zurich AG, Ueberseebank AG, Raifinanz AG and ValorInvest Ltd. Howard Shapray, a Vancouver lawyer with the reputation of being a fierce litigator, represented Atlas Capital in the action.

In a sworn affidavit, Mr. Mawji linked Shafiq Nazerali to Mr. Kott. "In the early and mid 1980`s (sic), Nazerali was closely associated with a notorious confidence artist named Irving Kott ("Kott")," Mr. Mawji claimed. "Kott is widely known to have operated `boiler rooms` in Amsterdam in the early and mid 1980`s (sic) which were used to sell securities investments fraudulently to members of the European and North American public." As an exhibit to his affidavit, Mr. Mawji attached an excerpt from Ms. Francis`s book mentioning Shafiq Nazerali`s connection to Mr. Kott.

"During the course of my association with Nazerali, Nazerali has reminisced to me about the period of his association with Kott," Mr. Mawji continued. "On the basis of what Nazerali himself has told me, I believe that the extract from Contrapreneurs provides an accurate description of the nature of the activity that Nazerali engaged in with Kott, in Europe and South America.

"Nazerali`s involvement in shady `boiler room` operations was not confined to his association with Kott in Amsterdam. Nazerali himself told me of having been deported from Uruguay in the 1980s because of his operation of a boiler room in Montivideo. On this occasion Nazerali was jailed briefly by Uruguayan authorities before being deported from that country."

Mr. Mawji went on to suggest that Shafiq Nazerali would even turn on his close associates. "Based upon his prior conduct, I believe that Nazerali will be prepared to engage in dishonesty or improper conduct, even at the expense of those who have friendly relations with Nazerali," Mr. Mawji stated, going on to outline a tiff between Shafiq Nazerali and Global Securities founder and chairman Arthur Smolensky.

(Mr. Smolensky and his brokerage firm have recently been in the news for servicing Amr Ibrahim (Anthony) Elgindy, arrested on May 21 in a six-count U.S. grand jury indictment alleging stock manipulation, extortion, obstruction of justice, and bribery of a former FBI special agent. While Mr. Elgindy traded through Global Securities, there have been no suggestions of any improprieties by the brokerage firm or Mr. Smolensky.)

In an affidavit filed in response to Mr. Mawji`s allegations, Shafiq Nazerali denied any close association with Mr. Kott. "I have not been closely associated with Mr. Irving Kott or been involved or connected with any alleged fraudulent activities by Mr. Kott," he claimed. Like his brother, Shafiq Nazerali dismissed Ms. Francis`s book, claiming it contained "defamatory statements and factual inaccuracies." In support of his claim, he also took issue with Ms. Francis`s physical description of his brother, Altaf. "In fact, my brother Altaf is not black, he is under six feet tall, and he has never been a bodyguard," Shafiq Nazerali claimed.

Shafiq Nazerali also balked at the suggestion that he had been deported from Uruguay. "In specific reply to paragraph 69 of Mr. Mawji`s Affidavit, I was never deported at any time from Uruguay or any other country, and I have never been jailed anywhere," he stated. "I never told Mr. Mawji anything of the kind."

Shafiq Nazerali went on to claim that "the issue" he had with Mr. Smolensky had been resolved. "Mr. Smolensky wanted shares issued in certain names," he stated. "I could not do that, as the stock was restricted from transfer at that time. The shares were eventually issued in the names requested by Mr. Smolensky, and the matter was thus resolved."

As it turned out, the dispute between Atlas Capital and Shafiq Nazerali was also resolved; and rather quietly, at that. The action was dismissed by consent on July 10, 1997, without costs to any party. The court file was subsequently sealed.

While the Atlas Capital file was tucked away from public view, it was not long before more allegations of Shafiq Nazerali`s association with Mr. Kott made their way into a sworn affidavit. In March of 1998, Corsaire Inc. and Vancouver stock promoter Rene Hamouth, represented by the popular Mr. Shapray, filed a lawsuit against Shafiq Nazerali, an OTC Bulletin Board promotion, Ikon Ventures Inc., First Capital Invest Corp. (more recently a large Imagis shareholder), convicted fraudster Nelson Skalbania and, among others, Pacific International Securities broker Jean Claude Hauchecorne.

(In an unrelated matter, the Vancouver Stock Exchange, one of the predecessors to the Canadian Venture Exchange and then the TSX Venture Exchange, stripped Mr. Hauchecorne of his broker`s licence for life in June of 1999 for his dealings with mob-related offshore accounts linked to Phil Gurian and Phil Abramo. The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) weighed in with a 20-year ban from the market against Mr. Hauchecorne in August of 2000.)

Mr. Hamouth, acquitted of stock manipulation charges in connection with Alberta Stock Exchange-listed Penway Explorers Ltd. in 1993, evidently had a falling-out with Shafiq Nazerali and a cast of Howe Street veterans over the aborted vend-in of Zeolite Mira S.R.L. to Corsaire. Zeolite, an Italian company owned by a Serbian scientist, Dusan Vucelic, produced an "environmentally-friendly" phosphate substitute for detergents. After the proposed deal with Corsaire collapsed, Zeolite was vended in to Shafiq Nazerali`s Ikon Ventures.

Miffed at the collapse of the Zeolite deal, Mr. Hamouth accused the key players, most notably Shafiq Nazerali, of being involved in a scheme of misappropriation of opportunity and further alleged that they engaged in a short-selling attack on Corsaire. "This is consistent with what I verily believe is Nazerali`s background in manipulating the public markets," Mr. Hamouth claimed. "Nazerali told me and I verily believe that he had been `trained` by Irving Kott and that he had `worked the phones in Montevideo,`" Mr. Hamouth stated.

The disgruntled promoter also offered an account of Shafiq Nazerali`s alleged trading activities. "Throughout the history of my dealings with Nazerali, I have learned from him that much of his investing and stock trading is executed through numerous nominee accounts," Mr. Hamouth claimed. "Nazerali uses agents and nominees at various European, Canadian and American brokerage institutions, to effect trades on his behalf."

Mr. Hamouth also linked Shafiq Nazerali to securities violator Eugene Sirianni, booted out of the market for 15 years by the BCSC in 1991. By Mr. Hamouth`s account, Mr. Sirianni, now operating out of Switzerland, was a key player in the alleged scheme to foil Corsaire`s Zeolite deal. Mr. Hamouth claimed that during the course of a telephone conversation with Ralph Olson, a broker with Colorado-based Cohig & Associates, he heard "recognizable voices in the background" in the New York hotel room where he reached Mr. Olson. "I asked him whether Nazerali and Sirianni were with him," Mr. Hamouth stated in his affidavit. "Olson replied that he was with them." According to Mr. Hamouth, Mr. Olson claimed that he was working on another deal with Shafiq Nazerali and Mr. Sirianni.

As with the Allied Capital lawsuit and the allegations levelled by Mr. Mawji, Shafiq Nazerali denied the allegations made by Mr. Hamouth in connection with the Corsaire lawsuit. Like the Allied Capital lawsuit, Mr. Hamouth`s action against Shafiq Nazerali ended in a consent dismissal on April 16, 1999, without costs to either party.

Whether Mr. Burke will be poking around into Shafiq Nazerali`s background as part of the investigation of Altaf Nazerali on behalf of his unidentified European client is an open question, one of many with respect to the private gumshoe`s probe. In any case, the ex-spook`s request for assistance from a Stockwatch reporter was declined. "Perhaps Oliver "Buck" Revell, chairman of Imagis Technologies Inc. and former Associate Deputy Director of the FBI, could help with your inquiry," Stockwatch suggested to Mr. Burke on June 6.

While Mr. Burke appreciated the suggestion, he claimed that he could not contact Mr. Revell. "Unfortunately the nature of my inquiry has to do with the personal activities of Mr. Nazerali and I would not be able to approach any of his business associates such as Buck Revell as it is imperative that Mr. Nazerali not become aware of the inquiry," Mr. Burke explained in a June 7 E-mail.

"My plan is to travel to Vancouver (which will be my first time) and identify and speak to individuals who may know Mr. Nazerali, but who would keep the interview confidential," he went on. "Because I have no contacts there, I was hoping that a (sic) someone, such as yourself, might be able to point me to the right people."

After a Stockwatch reporter again demurred, Mr. Burke followed up with another E-mail on June 10. "In any event, I`ll probably head to Vancouver next week," Mr. Burke advised. "In addition to some folks who could talk to me about my subject`s reputation, I have also been tasked to identify a Vancouver `National Enquirer` type publication that might be willing to run a well documented article on him (the client is seeking revenge). Any suggestions would be welcomed."

Mr. Burke`s peculiar June 10 E-mail on behalf of an unidentified vengeful European client was followed the same day by a peculiar E-mail from Kim Marsh, the head of a Vancouver-based private investigation firm, West Coast Investigations & Consulting Inc. According to his biographical information, Mr. Marsh retired from the RCMP in 1998 after more than 25 years of service, during which he was responsible for the national undercover program. Prior to his retirement from the RCMP, Mr. Marsh headed an organized crime team in Vancouver.

Apparently Mr. Burke, the former CIA agent and DEA administrator, has enlisted Mr. Marsh, a former RCMP officer, to help with his project. Mr. Burke evidently kept Mr. Marsh up to speed with copies of his E-mail exchanges with a Stockwatch reporter. Whether by accident or design, a copy of an E-mail message from Mr. Marsh to Mr. Burke found its way to Stockwatch.

"Further to our conversation, the following details are known about Altaf Nazerali," Mr. Marsh wrote to Mr. Burke on June 10. "He goes by Ali Nazerali and is approximately 60 years of age. He is an Ismaili East Indian and his family immigrated to Canada from Kenya in the early 1970`s (sic). Ali lives in West Vancouver in the British Properties which is an exclusive area. I do not think Ali is a womanizer. He has a brother named Shafiq who is in the business with Ali. Shafiq spends a lot of time in Switzerland. I will discuss this further tomorrow."

It is not known whether Mr. Marsh did discuss the matter further with Mr. Burke, nor is it clear whether the efforts of these fine private investigators will yield anything of interest. Indeed, much about Mr. Burke`s project remains murky. In fact, some veteran observers of Howe Street shenanigans have even suggested that the target of Mr. Burke`s investigation may not be Mr. Nazerali. Perhaps, they suggest, Mr. Burke is far more interested in the Stockwatch reporter who has been covering Imagis than he is in the company`s founder and current director, Mr. Nazerali. Just how this spook story plays out remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, the Imagis story is not playing nearly as well to investors as it did when the stock ran to a 52-week high of $5.66 in frenzied trading in the wake of the weasel worded March 6 announcement from Pembridge.

Guten Abend,

das ist nur ein Artikel eines Autors von genannter Webseite. Er hat es sich wohl zur Lebensaufgabe gemacht bei Imagis tief zu graben und Imagis und deren Finanziers madig zu machen. Imagis hat sehr viel Neider in Vancouver, so meine Erfahrung vom Dezember letzten Jahres, als ich dort war, übrigens unabhängig von Imagis. Habe mit mehreren Brokern dort gesprochen und das als mein Fazit gezogen. Der Autor benutzt übrigens einen Aliasnamen. Kann sich jeder seine Meinung bilden warum er nicht seinen wahren Namen nennt.

Fakt für mich ist, das Imagis Aufträge bekommen von Behörden bekommen hat, die sicher auch gut recherchiert haben. Das besagter Autor dies in seinen Artikel so gut wie kaum erwähnt, ist bisher sein Geheimnis. Das ein ehemaliger Hoher FBI-Mann leitend bei Imagis ist, wird auch nicht erwähnt.

Wie bereits in einem vorigen Posting erwähnt liegt es jetzt an Imagis, diesem Treiben ein Ende zu gebieten. Ich denke dies werden sie auch tun.

Good luck

Nochmal eine Frage:

Wieso gibt es keine Stellungnahme von Imagis?

[mcmagin]

Hab grad ne nette email von Cary Martin bekommen:


Good Day, I just wanted to send you a short note to apprise you of the recent developments within Imagis Technologies re: share price.

There are no material changes within the Company that would explain the
recent decline in the price of the stock. Imagis continues to work
diligently to generate new sales, develop new products and to compete effectively in our sector.

Recent announcements include:

The continuing sales and deployment of law enforcement solutions to police forces in
the US and Canada;

The formation of a new enterprise with Sanyo Electric
Corp to provide layered biometric identification verification products
to both public and private sector security markets.

Discussions are continuing on a number of other fronts including the formalization of
the business relationship announced earlier this year with OSI Systems.

At this time last year, the Company had approximately $15 million US in
the sales development pipeline. This year, we currently have approx $55
million US worth of projects in our sales pipeline. While certainly only
a portion of this is expected to come to fruition over the next year,
sales continue to be completed at an accelerated pace and it is
reasonable to expect a continuation of increased revenues.

I am sorry that I can not offer a better explanation for the recent
decline in the share price, however, with all the progress Imagis is
making on so many fronts, one could conclude that the current price
presents a unique investment opportunity.

Thank you for your continued interest and support. I hope this
adequately addresses your concerns.

Sincerely,

Cary Martin

Was jetzt fehlt sind einfach weitere Fakten. Neue Verträge, Kooperationen etc.. Der CEO Ian Drummond hatte sich ja letztes Jahr sehr weit aus dem Fenster gelehnt, dafür fehlen halt die Beweise. Sowas verunsichert natürlich, genauso wie dieses "angebliche Übernahmeangebot" zu $ 4,10. Da hört man leider nichts mehr von, Dies trägt der Verunsicherung auch bei. Andererseits ist das Volumen sehr gering, dass momentan gehandelt wird. Deutet eigentlich darauf hin, dass die meisten im Free-Float befindlichen Aktien in festen Händen sind und niemand in große Verkaufspanik gerät.

Guten Abend,

von heute.

FACE-TO-FACE: An Update from Iain Drummond, President & CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc.


As much as anything else, the unfortunate events of 9-11 have spurred governments around the world into embracing biometrics as a means of substantially improving security. Numerous government initiatives, both in the US and abroad, are strengthening the demand for biometrics and biometric systems. In total, the US has budgeted for an additional US$37.7 billion in Homeland Security spending.
The most noteworthy initiative is the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, which seeks to eliminate the vulnerabilities of the US immigration system. The Act calls for the State Department to issue visas and travel documents to international visitors that are tamper-resistant and machine-readable using biometrics by October 26, 2003. This act has international repercussions as well, insisting that countries that want to take part in the Visa Waiver program are required to issue biometric-embedded passports to their citizens.

The US House of Representatives has also put forth a bill calling for the modernization of all State-issued driver`s license programs. If passed, States will be given five years to embed biometric technologies onto all licenses and identification cards.

We believe that these two initiatives represent a significant opportunity for Imagis.

While many things have changed since 9-11 (interest in biometrics, public awareness, heightened security), other things haven`t (the sales cycle for large software applications for one). The market for our products is unquestionably there. Even before the tragic events of last September, the International Biometric Group (IBG) projected that the market for all biometric technologies would exceed US$1.9 billion by 2005, up from just US$250 million in 1999.

Accordingly, we`re fielding interest from all corners of the planet for both our law enforcement applications and for our facial recognition technology. Our challenge - a challenge that we are more than willing to embrace - is to elevate that interest into action.

Here are just a few highlights from the past quarter:

Expanded to over 50 installations of CABS throughout Canadian Police and RCMP detachments
Signed license agreement with Zixsys Inc., a subsidiary of SANYO Semiconductor, to produce and market a multi-layered biometric access control unit
Deployed facial recognition and law enforcement software in the Sherriff`s department of Harris County, TX (third largest in the US)
Added four highly experienced individuals to its management team

Imagis Technologies Announces US$1.75 million Private Placement With OSI Systems, Inc.


Strategic Alliance will develop and market biometric and imaging solutions for airport security and package screening applications

VANCOUVER, Jul 09, 2002 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY), a leading developer of biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that it has entered into a brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") with OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) of Imagis` common shares (the "Shares") at a price per share of US$1.50, which will result in gross proceeds to Imagis of US$1.75 million. Pursuant to the Private Placement, OSI Systems will purchase 1,166,667 common shares and 291,667 warrants to purchase common shares of Imagis exercisable over two years at an exercise price of US$1.50 per share. The purchase of the shares and warrants has been made for investment purposes and OSI may increase or decrease its beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, any of the securities of Imagis as circumstances warrant.
Imagis has received preliminary acceptance to the Private Placement from the TSX Venture Exchange. The net proceeds of the financing will be used to strengthen Imagis` working capital position and to carry out its strategic alliance with OSI Systems. Upon closing the Private Placement, OSI Systems will own approximately 6% of Imagis.

OSI Systems, located in Hawthorne, California is a worldwide leader in providing security solutions to airports, customs agencies, correctional facilities, and governments. Under the terms of the investment, OSI Systems and Imagis will develop and market biometric and imaging hardware solutions for passenger and package screening applications. The companies will leverage OSI Systems manufacturing capabilities, global distribution channels, service organization, and significant installed base of walk-through metal gates and baggage x-ray systems at screening locations worldwide. Imagis will contribute its considerable software expertise in facial and image recognition technologies.

"We have selected Imagis as a strategic partner after an extensive review of competitive technologies," said Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems Chairman and CEO. "Aside from the merits of their system, they have made significant advancements both in developing customer relationships as well as partnering with Sanyo Semiconductor of Japan, to develop embedded systems utilizing their advanced facial feature encoding. Walk-through metal gates may represent a key location for facial recognition systems. All passengers at an airport are required to pass through one and capturing a consistent facial image is thus facilitated."

Iain Drummond, Imagis` President and CEO, said "Metal detectors are the ideal location in an airport environment to detect undesirables attempting to board airplanes. We believe this investment by OSI Systems clearly supports Imagis leading position in the biometric and imaging sector. OSI Systems` international presence and its position as a leading supplier of metal detectors and x-ray scanning systems worldwide will accelerate the integration of biometrics as a tool in the battle against terrorism."

Press Release
SOURCE: Imagis Technologies Inc.
Imagis adds two directors to its board
VANCOUVER, July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:IGSTF - News) is pleased to announce the appointment of Messrs. Deepak Chopra and Treyton L. Thomas to the board of the company effective July 9, 2002.

Mr. Chopra is Chairman and CEO of OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS - News) that announced earlier today an investment in Imagis of US$1.75 million and a strategic alliance to develop and market biometric and imaging solutions for airport security and package screening applications. He has served as OSI Systems` President, Chief Executive Officer and Director since the company`s inception in May 1987, and has served as OSI Systems` Chairman of the Board since February 1992.

From 1976 to 1987, Mr. Chopra held various positions with ILC Technology, Inc., a publicly-held manufacturer of lighting products, including serving as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of ILC`s United Detector Technology Division, which was later acquired by OSI Systems in 1990. Mr. Chopra has also held various positions at Intel Corporation, TRW Semiconductors and RCA Semiconductors. Mr. Chopra holds a B.S. in Electronics and a M.S. in Semiconductor Electronics.

Mr. Thomas founded the investment firm Pembridge Group in 1995 and serves as its Chairman. He also oversees the activities of a personal foundation inaugurated to engage in, and support entities that promote education and access to technology. Prior to founding Pembridge, he spent eleven years in investment banking.

Mr. Thomas received his A.L.B. from Harvard University with highest honors with a concentration in Natural Sciences and an optional field-of-study in Computer Science. He graduated tied for first in his class and was the recipient of both the Dean`s Academic Achievement Award, and the Phelps Prize, which is the highest academic award given to three graduates each year based on academic achievement and character. Mr. Thomas is an A.M.P. graduate of the Harvard Business School.

At this time, both Imagis and Pembridge have agreed to end further going private discussions as we could not come to terms on the proposed requisites. Instead, we have agreed to work together collaboratively to accomplish a complementary suite-of-products approach using our public company structure as a platform. The execution of our business plan going forward will include concluding additional strategic joint ventures like the one announced today with OSI Systems, Inc., and the previously announced one with Sanyo Semiconductor Co. Ltd., and continuing the development of bolt-on technologies that can leverage our market penetration into large commercial-scale security applications.

"We appreciate Mr. Thomas` commitment to continue an association with Imagis as a member of the board," stated Oliver "Buck" Revell, Chairman. "Mr. Thomas will be an active participant on the board and will focus on collaborating with the management of Imagis by identifying, negotiating and bringing together large-scale joint ventures going forward. We would also like to thank Pembridge for their advice and guidance in helping to complete our OSI alliance."

Pembridge Group LP Chairman Treyton L. Thomas summed up his firm`s continued interest in Imagis, "The United States is leading a tectonic shift in global defense strategy. The Cold War doctrines of deterrence and containment, which promised massive retaliation against nations, are anachronisms that are ill equipped to address stateless aggressors with no nation or citizens to defend. The new defense paradigm being put into place now is more dynamic and preemptive in nature. An immutable component of this new doctrine will be technology that has the capacity to track and target elusive adversaries on friendly soil before they act."

With respect to the aforementioned, the company announces that the trading blackout imposed by the company on March 5, 2002 on its insiders has been lifted.

The company also announces that Messrs. Fred Clarke and Rory Godinho have resigned as directors of the company. Mr. Godinho will remain as corporate secretary and general counsel for Imagis. The company wishes to thank Messrs. Clarke and Godinho for their valuable contributions during the formative stages of the company.

Imagis facial recognition software purchased by New Zealand Customs
New Zealand Customs Service is investigating the use of facial recognition software to apply against its core CUSMOD border management system.
VANCOUVER, BC and WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, July 23 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; TSX: NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, in conjunction with New Zealand Customs Service ("NZ Customs"), announced today that Imagis` ID-2000 facial recognition technology has been purchased by New Zealand Customs.
The department has purchased ID-2000 software from Imagis, a Canadian developer and marketer of biometric-based software, for the purpose of investigating the use of facial recognition software to apply against its core CUSMOD border management system. The software was purchased through Imagis` New Zealand-based business partner, ITB Solutions of Wellington.

"Our focus is experimental and investigative, creating local awareness within Customs of such technology," says Peter Rosewarne, NZ Customs` IS manager. "We`re using the software to develop capabilities within the workflow of our existing processes. It`s being applied against CUSMOD by developing applications such as detecting false images in documents, and alerts against known faces."

Mr. Rosewarne says the Imagis product was chosen because Imagis was a reputable vendor with an international presence and the software offered good value for NZ Customs applications.

Imagis ID-2000`s sophisticated image analysis algorithms use more than 200 facial descriptors to capture and compare an individual`s face against a database, quickly identifying individuals who pose a potential threat.

Features and functions include the ability to:




- Identify an individual within very large databases of images in
seconds with high accuracy;
- Extract increased levels of three-dimensional facial information from
standard digital photographs;
- Protect, secure, and synchronize image and data across a network, an

Imagis signs reseller agreement with Datacard Group
Datacard to integrate Imagis face recognition technology with secure identity solutions
VANCOUVER, July 24 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies, Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; TSX: NAB; Germany: IGY), a leading developer of facial recognition systems and other advanced biometrics-based solutions, announced today that it has signed an authorized reseller agreement with Datacard Group, a global leader in card issuance systems and secure identity solutions.
Under the agreement, Datacard will integrate facial recognition technology from Imagis and offer it as a value-added feature in its portfolio of secure identity solutions. Datacard provides corporations, government agencies, schools, hospitals and other large enterprises with identity solutions ranging from basic photo ID systems to highly sophisticated identity networks that leverage biometrics, smart cards and digital imaging technology.

"There is strong market demand for identity solutions that allow corporations, governments and other security-minded organizations to verify that people are who they claim to be," said Martin Kearsley, senior vice president of Datacard`s solutions division. "Biometrics is becoming a higher priority component within our Identity Solutions. We are partnering with market leaders like Imagis to ensure that we are offering best-in-class solutions.

"We expect our relationship with Imagis will result in identity solutions that allow our clients to enhance both physical and virtual security," Kearsley said. "We`re delighted to be working with yet another market leader."

In recent months, demand for identity solutions that leverage the power of biometrics and smart card technology has increased dramatically. Popular applications include employee badges, national IDs, driver licenses, student IDs, visa, passports and other secure identity documents. In fact, the U.S. recently passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002, which called for biometrics technology to be embedded into all visas and travel documents of international visitors by October 26, 2003. A second bill currently before the U.S. House of Representatives, the Driver`s License Modernization Act of 2002, calls for States to embed biometric identification into all driver`s licenses within five years.

"This agreement with Datacard creates tremendous new market opportunities for Imagis and our biometrics-based solutions," said Iain Drummond, president and CEO of Imagis Technologies. "Datacard`s identity expertise and rapidly expanding customer base will open new doors for us in the U.S., Canada and abroad. We are looking forward to achieving great things together."

Biometric Homeland Security System in Final Developmental Stage And Being Offered to the Public

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Safe-Travel, LLC ("Safe-Travel"), announces that it has reached the final developmental stage in preparation of its launch of its patented Secure Perimeter Identification System ("SPIdS").

Safe-Travel was awarded the SPIdS patent that defines the process of embedding real-time biometrics on airline boarding passes in September 2000. Safe-Travel has completed SPIdS developmental stages which uses commercial facial and fingerprint recognition systems engineered by Imagis Technologies (Nasdaq: IGSTF.OB - News), Visionics (Nasdaq: VSNX - News), which is merging with Identix, Inc., and Digital Persona. Safe-Travel and its integration partners IBM (NYSE: IBM - News), Toshiba TEC Corporation, Factotem, American Barcode, Imaging Automation, and TeamLinux, provide maximum security and quick access facial and fingerprint biometrics. Combining fingerprint with facial recognition systems, through badge procedures, virtually eliminates the possibility of a false-positive match.

After extensive review of the airlines industry, Frank Arcori, president of Safe-Travel, believes that companies such as Air Canada, Inc., American Airlines, British Airways plc, Continental Airlines, Inc., Delta Airlines, Inc., Northwest Airlines Corp., United Airlines, Inc. are in the business of safely moving people throughout the world and it is the duty of other entities, such as Safe-Travel, to develop intellectual property to defend homeland security issues while keeping costs at a minimum.

Earlier this year Electronic Date Systems Corp., announced that it, in cooperation with Sun Microsystems Inc., and Oracle developed an "employee registration and authentication program designed to work with existing employee information to identify and assess security risk." Similar systems are currently being tested and utilized by webMethods, Inc., Unisys and Maximus.

Safe-Travel, LLC acknowledges that it is has held discussions with various corporate entities concerning the divestiture of its intellectual property rights. If you have questions about Safe-Travel or its intellectual property rights, please contact Frank Arcori at [phone] or by e-mail at [e-mail].

Guten Tag,

aus dem Vancouver Courier:

By Neville Judd-Contributing writer

When police in Huntington Beach, Calif., make an arrest, they no longer need to ask the suspect his name. Instead, they take his picture. With a few taps on the keyboard of a laptop computer, police compare the suspect`s image to a shared electronic database of thousands of mug shots. With a high re-offender rate, a match is usually made, revealing the suspect`s mug shot complete with criminal record.

What makes the process remarkable is that it takes place in the back of a police car and is finished within seconds. A sign greets the suspect down at the police department cells: "Welcome to Huntington Beach."

Since Sept. 11, recognizing a face has never been more important. Similar technology is used in Los Angeles Airport and high-profile U.S. landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty. Police are able to photograph and analyze images of anyone entering or departing, comparing them with a database of known terrorists` mug shots. If there`s no match, the image is discarded.

The software is an application of biometrics, the science of measuring human characteristics for identification. It`s used by police departments, airports, casinos and prisons, but its applications extend to everything from grading agricultural produce to identifying and sometimes rescuing abused children who have been forced into pornography.

On biometrics` leading edge is Imagis Technologies, a small Vancouver company thriving in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, but relatively unheard of in its own backyard. Based on the 16th floor of a West Georgia Street tower, Imagis employs about 40 people-mostly engineers. Company co-founder Andy Amanovich is getting used to seeing himself on TV news and his name might be familiar to readers of several U.S. daily newspapers. The Japanese and Korean hosts of this year`s soccer World Cup found his expertise invaluable.

Imagis` specialty is facial recognition software, otherwise known as ID2000. The technology is used by more than 50 police departments across the United States (most of them in California), as well as by Britain`s National Crime Squad. Two weeks ago, it was purchased by New Zealand Customs Service.

It`s a far cry from Amanovich`s original career path in forest ecology. Nine years ago, Amanovich`s company Pacific Cascade was analyzing satellite images for mining companies, forestry firms and oceanographers.

Pacific Cascade merged with Ferihill, a Victoria company that kept a computer database of admissions and discharges from local jails for the RCMP. The merger not only led to the creation of Imagis Technologies, it provided Victoria`s RCMP detachment with an insight into potentially useful technology.

At the RCMP`s request, the company developed the facial-recognition technology. "It never occurred to us to use the technology for police work, but it occurred to the RCMP," says Amanovich.

Ironically, in Canada, only North Vancouver RCMP and a detachment at Toronto`s Pearson airport have found the money to purchase ID2000.

Several other RCMP detachments are interested in ID2000 but have yet to sign up. "I wish we could be in every RCMP detachment," says Amanovich. "But RCMP budgets have been slashed horribly. They are way ahead of other police forces, but they lose out because they don`t have the money."

How does it work? By developing software originally used to make sense of satellite images, the company has established a coordinate system of the human head. ID2000 uses reflected light to form a three-dimensional surface model of the face.

"We`ve basically reduced the face to a string of binary code and made it a mathematical equation," says Amanovich. "It takes about a second to do, but it has taken years to make it that fast."

Like fingerprints, every face has its own unique set of coordinates. Unlike fingerprints, the face is hard to hide. For police involved in surveillance work, it`s a lot easier to obtain a photograph or video still of a suspect than it is to nab a fingerprint.

"Mug shots have been around for 100 years. Police forces have millions of mug shots so we can take their existing data and use it."

Instead of pouring over binders full of photos, police can make a probable match between a suspect and his mug shot-if he has a mug shot.

Amanovich demonstrates with a single photo produced from a sample database of 6,300 mug shots of men, women and children. The photo, gleaned from the FBI`s web site, shows a chubby, clean-shaven man of Middle Eastern appearance, wearing sunglasses.

With a click of a single key on his laptop, Amanovich "encodes" the photo. Three dots appear on the man`s face, over his eyes and nose, establishing facial coordinates.

In the time it takes Amanovich to say, "It`s searching a database of binary codes lightning fast," the software has produced a match from the other 6,299 mug shots. It shows a younger, bearded man without sunglasses. It`s the same man photographed seven years earlier, before he lived in the U.S.

Despite the obvious differences in age, weight, facial hair and sunglasses, the program has produced what Amanovich calls a "probable" match. "In this case, I know it`s the same man because the FBI has confirmed this. But what the software allows us to do is to tell police there`s a high degree of probability that it is the same man. Even with the differences, there are large enough areas of the face that don`t change and this allows us to produce a mathematical probability."

A higher degree of accuracy, known as authentication technology, is possible but it requires compliance from the person being photographed. Japanese companies, in particular, use authentication technology for security purposes, says Amanovich.

Sanyo employees, for example, are developing the ability to gain access to sensitive areas of company premises only after their faces have been scanned to confirm who they are. No match, no entry.

Sgt. Guy Dove has been a policeman in California for 22 years, 14 of them in Huntington Beach. In the 12 months his police department has had ID2000, Dove has used the software to identify countless suspects. He has also seen robbery suspects convicted on the strength of still images downloaded from a videotaped bank robbery and successfully matched to police mug shots.

"It`s made a tremendous difference-it`s an awesome system," says Dove. "I only wish I had it when I was a detective."

Dove said in the past, when the department`s computer systems were down, police may not have been able to hold a suspect while they tried to identify him. He said many suspects give false names, particularly if they`re out on parole or have been convicted of "heinous" crimes.

"If the guy says he`s Joe Blow, we can check that and find that he`s actually Billy Smith, so we know who he is. We can use it with fingerprinting-then there`s no ifs or buts."

Positively identifying suspects has been the software`s greatest asset in North Vancouver, according to RCMP there.

"There are more than 12,000 people in North Vancouver`s [mug shot] database," says North Vancouver RCMP spokeswoman, Const. Marina Wilks. "If we bring someone in and we think they are lying about their identity, we capture their image and use the [ID2000] program, which brings up the closest three matches."

The software has even produced probable matches based on composite drawings created from victim`s descriptions. "It`s another police tool and it helps with the groundwork," says Wilks. "We are a guinea pig for the software and we don`t have the most current version, but we`re very lucky to have it."

ID2000 costs a small RCMP detachment about $10,000, says Amanovich, while a bigger department or a U.S. county could spend more than $1 million on the software.

Huntington Beach was the third police division in Orange County to use ID2000 and is in the process of sharing its electronic database with other police departments as they become equipped with the software.

This will be particularly helpful in identifying gang members and transient criminals attracted to the beach city, says Dove. "The system helps identify tattoos. Tattoos are a big thing here. We take pictures of everyone with tattoos."

Details such as scars can also be picked up and used in searches. "When police are dealing with gangs, colours and tattoos are a big deal," says Amanovich.

The technology`s ability to identify not just faces but features, colours and shapes is helping police in the United Kingdom to identify crime victims. Britain`s National Crime Squad (NCS) officers have spent years cataloguing images of children forced into pornography. Prior to awarding Imagis a $1.2-million contract, NCS officers had to plow through countless printed images of abused children in the faint hope of finding a match in a database of abducted children.

A sweep of a child pornography trading ring called Wonderland in 1997 led to 101 arrests. It also contributed significantly to a police database of three million images. "The police had to rent a school gym for a weekend and cover the walls and the floor with these images, just so officers could go around with pencils, cataloguing them," says Amanovich. "It`s an incredibly soul-destroying job."

It has also taken its toll on Amanovich, who could not sleep for several weeks after seeing some of the images during his work with the NCS. "My wife would find me crying, wandering around downstairs in the early hours. The evil is unimaginable."

For police looking for clues amid such overwhelming numbers of photos, Imagis`s expertise has been a godsend. A program developed by Imagis called ID2000 SA (scene analysis) allows NCS officers to scrutinize not just faces, but details in the background-a checkered curtain, a patterned carpet or a type of motorcycle, for instance.

"If a child is pictured in a room with a checkered curtain, this technology can scan millions of images in seconds to find any other images of children in rooms with checkered curtains," says Amanovich. "This can help determine if other children were abused in the same room, which can be pretty interesting to police trying to build a case."

The software can also be used to search the tangled web of Internet pornography. Amanovich says if police seize criminal imagery from a computer hard drive, they want to know if those images have been transmitted to anyone else.

Before, officers had to surf the Web manually to find similar imagery, using key words, which could take weeks or months, often to no avail. "They are literally looking for one in a million," says Amanovich.

"With a digital jpeg, there`s a real problem finding that particular image on another pedophile`s computer, because what was originally saved as `child.jpeg,` may have been cropped, the brightness changed, and renamed `somethingelse.bmp.` This technology will bring back the image from a database of millions, regardless of whether it has been changed."

Imagis recently opened an office in Sydney, Australia. But despite its international success, it continues to derive only eight per cent of its revenue from Canada.

One reason is that access to senior politicians is far easier south of the border, says Amanovich, though that may have something to do with Imagis`s chairman, Oliver "Buck" Revell. Revell served for more than 30 years in the FBI, rising to the number-two career post of associate deputy director. It`s only been in recent months that company staff have met with Canada`s federal Liberal caucus.

As for the future, the possibilities for such technology appear as limitless as the human imagination. UK police are establishing legal protocol to exploit facial recognition software`s potential to catch soccer hooligans. And in a move sure to alarm speed demons, a senior UK chief constable told a committee of MPs recently that within five years, such software could be used to nab speeding drivers.

Richard Brunstrom, head of the technical committee of the British Association of Chief Police Officers, said advances in technology, combined with a national database of photo drivers` licences, will allow police to identify the 10 per cent of speeders who currently escape fines because their cars are not registered, or are not their own. The Japanese are also developing methods of applying the software`s ultra-fast methodology to grading agricultural products like apples.

The next advance, expected in a year or two, is what`s called "embedded technology," says Amanovich.

"The software currently running on computer chips and boards will actually be inside the camera. The brain will be inside the camera. Who knows where that will take us?"

Good luck

SOURCE: Imagis Technologies Inc.

Imagis and Microsoft to present joint demonstration of a new integrated justice system at 2002 APCO Conference
Solution leverages Windows.NET technology to facilitate Web-based information search and retrieval between every aspect of today`s justice system
VANCOUVER, Aug. 12 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; TSX: NAB; Germany:IGY), announced today the launch of a new integrated justice system. This innovative solution will allow for the rapid deployment of an Integrated Justice Information System (IJIS) across any department, city, county, region, state, or country. The announcement coincides with Imagis` participation in the 2002 APCO Conference & Exposition in Nashville, Tennessee, and a joint demonstration of the solution by Microsoft and Imagis at this same show.
Imagis` integrated justice system leverages the inherent advantages of Microsoft`s(R) Windows.NET technology to facilitate Web-based information search and retrieval between every aspect of today`s justice system. As a result, Imagis is able to put critical information - including both text- and image-based data - into the hands of those who need it, when they need it. This includes horizontal data sharing (e.g. between different police, sheriff, and port authority detachments) and vertical data sharing (e.g. between different agencies: enforcement, courts, prosecution, corrections, etc.).

"While the idea of an Integrated Justice Information System is not new, the technologies behind Imagis` integrated justice system, including its utilization of XML Web Services, are very new and innovative," says Jeff Langford, .NET Technology Specialist, Justice & Public Safety Solutions, Microsoft Corporation. "This breakthrough technology allows national, state, and county law enforcement agencies the ability to deploy affordable and simplified information sharing solutions in a fraction of the time compared to what presently exists."




(Mr. Langford`s white paper, Integrated Justice Information Systems
(IJIS): An Overview, can be accessed online at:
http://jps.directtaps.net)


"Historically, most attempts at state or regional IJIS implementations have fallen short of expectations - if they have been completed at all," said Iain Drummond, President & CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc. "These attempts have proven to be extremely expensive, overly complex, and have required a significant amount of human resources. With Imagis` integrated justice system, the justice community can save time and money while improving the quality, consistency, accessibility, and reliability of their information."

Imagis` integrated justice system allows a region or office to:
- Access and share data quickly between different offices, branches,
cities, counties, and states
- Identify an offender or suspect across any region using both text-
based (e.g. a name, driver`s license number, or descriptive phrase)
and image-based search criteria (e.g. a photo, mug shot, or artist`s
composite drawing).
- Integrate with other vendor solutions easily, including other RMS,
CAD, and Jail Management systems
- Query any information repository from any location using a secure Web
interface
- Ensure information security by restricting access to published data to
only those granted permission
- Integrate with any ODBC-compliant database or legacy system
- Perform tactical searches for critical information at the scene of a
crime

To learn more about Imagis` integrated justice system, please contact
Imagis or an Imagis Business Partner today. Demonstrations of the
technology are also available on the show floor by visiting Imagis at
Booth No. 860.

warum sollte ich hier was übersetzen ? Das an der OTC nicht immer mit sauberen Mitteln gearbeitet wird, weiss man aber seit Start dieser Börse. Und die Väter dieser ansauberen Mittel sind die, die, die Enron, Worldcom, Quest in die Scheisse geritten haben, zu Lasten derjenigen, die u.a. ihre Altersversorgung darauf aufbebaut haben. Wer diese Tricks kennt, hätte z. B. nie in Alphatrade investiert

Hallo Ingo,

z.Zt gib es nicht viel Neues zu Imagis. Die möglichen Kontrakte die ausstehen, dauern leider länger als erwartet. Dies hängt zum größten Teil damit zusammen, das es sich um staatlichen Stellen handelt, und deren Mühlen mahlen nunmal sehr langsam. Die letzte News zeig doch, dass Imagis Produkte akzeptiert werden und am Markt gut ankommen. Die Software muss natürlich erst in ein solchen Produkt implementiert werden, und das dauert halt leider auch seine Zeit. Allgemein kann man sagen, dass die Zeiten sich drastisch geändert haben und konkrete Projekte erstmal auf Eis gelegt werden.

Hoffe selbst, dass bald wieder gute News kommen, die den Kurs mal wieder gen Norden schiessen lassen.

Good luck

Imagis addresses recent market activity
Monday September 9, 9:00 am ET


VANCOUVER, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc., (the "Company"), advises that it knows of no material changes within the Company that would account for the recent decline in the trading price of the Company`s shares.

The Company has notified Red Herring that it takes extreme exception to misstatements of fact as well as the false and unfounded innuendo that arises from the misstatements.

Hallo Sowhat,

@Nuecke,

denke, dass doch den Jahrestag dieses schrecklichen Ereignisses vielleicht wieder solche Aktien in den Blickpunkt rücken. Imagis hat sicher noch was in zu melden, aber derzeit wüsste ich nicht, was sie schnell wieder auf die alten Höhen treiben sollte. Wie schonmal gepostet, hat ein großer ein zusammen mit Imagis durchgeführtes Projekt erstmal auf Eis gelegt. Denke es gibt demnächst ein besseres Investment. Mam sehen was noch kommt.

Imagis files defamation action against Red Herring and Mr. Christopher Byron
Thursday September 12, 1:38 pm ET


VANCOUVER, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis" or the "Company") (OTCBB: IGSTF - News) - Mr. Iain Drummond reports:
Further to the Company`s news release of September 9, 2002, the Company advises that it has filed a libel action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Red Herring Communications, Inc. ("Red Herring") and Mr. Christopher Byron ("Byron") (collectively the "Defendants"). The action alleges that Byron authored and Red Herring published an article relating to the Company and its directors, which contains statements and innuendo that are defamatory of Imagis.

The Statement of Claim also alleges the misleading and defamatory statements and imputations were written by the Defendant Byron with malice and that he knew or ought to have known that the defamatory imputations he authored were untrue.

It should be noted that MSNBC which originally carried the article that had been posted on Red Herring`s website, immediately withdrew it once the Company informed MSNBC of the factual inaccuracies and in the article. However, after the Company notified Red Herring of the facts and identified the defamatory imputations contained in the article, Red Herring published the article in its monthly magazine thereby ensuring wider circulation and causing further damage to the Company.

The Company is seeking an award of both general and punitive damages from the Defendants.

Imagis has posted on its website a response to the Red Herring article. To view the article, please click http://www.imagistechnologies.com.

Imagis Responds to Canada Stockwatch Article
Friday September 27, 7:19 pm ET


VANCOUVER, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF - News), responds to an article authored by Mr. Lee M. Webb entitled "Sudden Recall" and published by Canada Stockwatch on Monday, September 25, 2002, and advises as follows:
Mr. Webb`s article regarding the late filing of insider reports is the latest in a series of articles authored by Mr. Webb and published by Canada Stockwatch.

To date, the Company has refrained from responding publicly to any of Mr. Webb`s writings. However, in this instance it wishes to clarify the facts so that Imagis shareholders are not misled by Mr. Webb`s article:

In respect to Mr. Nazerali`s late insider report filing, Mr. Webb`s
statements and what the Company believes are his insinuations and could
reasonably be interpreted to mean are as follows:
1. "Mr. Nazerali may have exercised 100,000 options priced at $1.50
per share just 5 days after Imagis closed a $3.59 million special
warrant financing priced at $2.17 per special warrant."

The speculative insinuation is that Mr. Nazerali may purposely have
not filed his insider report to avoid the special warrant holders
from becoming aware of an insider purchasing shares at significant
discount to the price of the financing.

2. "The 100,000 shares from the exercise of the option would have
carried a value of $566,000.00 when Imagis hit a 52-week high of
$5.66 on March 6, 2002."

This insinuation is that Mr. Nazerali may secretly have profited from
the assumed option exercise.

3. "In addition to the late filing, Mr. Nazerali`s insider report is
deficient according to information on the BCSC web site.
Specifically, the BCSC filing does not disclose the nature of the
transaction."

This insinuation is that either Mr. Nazerali wished to mask the true
nature of the trade or was incompetent in filling out his insider
report.

4. "In the normal course, a transaction such as Mr. Nazerali`s late
reported disposition of 100,000 options is usually reported as a 76
transaction, indicating that it entails the exercise of options.
Moreover, such a transaction is generally accompanied by disclosure
of the acquisition of a corresponding number of common shares on the
same date as the options are exercised. Mr. Nazerali`s insider report
does not reveal the acquisition of a corresponding 100,000 common
shares."

This insinuation is that Mr. Nazerali is delinquent in filing a
report disclosing the acquisition of a corresponding number of common
shares on the purported exercise of the option, which raises
questions about his integrity or competence in filling out insider
reports.

In response to the above, the Company advises as follows:

1. Mr. Nazerali`s late filing did not involve the exercise of 100,000
options. In fact, the report correctly identifies the transaction as
a category 52 transaction, which discloses that the transaction
involved the cancellation of the option. The cancellation of Mr.
Nazerali`s option was of little or no materiality. Although Mr.
Nazerali ought to have filed the report in a timely manner, in this
particular circumstance, the effect on Imagis` capital structure or
Mr. Nazerali`s holdings is inconsequential. Secondly, if the BCSC
does not properly post Mr. Nazerali`s insider report, that is not Mr.
Nazerali`s fault. Mr. Webb could easily have contacted the BCSC to
view a hard copy of the report and thereby determine the true nature
of the transaction.

2. In respect of the allegation that Mr. Thomas also filed a late
insider report, the Company advises that both Mr. Webb and Mr. Thomas
are incorrect in their assumption that his filing was late.
According to the BCSC`s guidelines on insider reporting, the grant of
an option is properly disclosed on an insider report within 10 days
of a grant being accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange. In
actual fact, the TSX Venture Exchange accepted Mr. Thomas` options
for filing on September 23, 2002, such that Mr. Thomas` filing was in
fact premature and not late. Again, the Company respectfully submits
that as a result, Mr. Webb`s innuendo is completely uncalled for.

The Company assures its shareholders that insider trading "blackout" and
"quiet" periods were all properly put in place and strictly followed by
Imagis` directors.

Das wird noch sehr spannend.

Schönes Wochenende

VANCOUVER, Oct 1, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announces that Zixsys, a subsidiary of SANYO Semiconductor Company, will be displaying its ID Controller, a product under development utilizing Imagis` ID- 2000(TM) facial scan software at CEATEC Japan 2002. The product will be displayed in the Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. booth (Booth No. 1A06) from October 1 to 5, 2002.

In addition to using Imagis` facial scan software, ID Controller integrates both a proximity card reader and an optical fingerprint sensor, delivering multi-layered security, verification, and authentication. As part of this integrated solution, ID-2000 employs a unique method of identifying an individual`s face. This includes using a combination of spectral analysis and 3-D modeling to locate and fit the face. Once a face has been identified, it is converted into a deformable surface model - taking into account the values of yaw, pitch, and roll of the head - and re-rendered using various light sources. At present, ID-2000 maps over 600 facial descriptors from a single subject. As a result, ID-2000 ensures both an ease of enrollment and high accuracy and performance levels.

In a recent report by the International Biometric Group (IBG), it is projected that one of the leading biometric applications over the next five years will be systems for secure physical access, time and attendance control. IBG projects that this market will reach US$245 million in annual revenues by 2004. Likewise, IBG projects that the market for surveillance and screening applications will reach US$49 million in annual revenue for the same year.

CEATEC Japan 2002 is one of Asia`s largest exhibitions with over 19 countries participating in a five-day exhibition with attendance expected to reach 170,000 visitors. In addition to ID Controller, Zixsys will be demonstrating products including a remote access network surveillance camera that can be operated remotely via wired or wireless networks.

Imagis and Zixsys announced a licensing agreement in May 2002, that for a term of 10 years, Zixsys will pay Imagis a licensing fee and certain royalties based upon the level of sales generated. ID Controller will be commercially available in April 2003.

Imagis Completes Deployment of Face Recognition Software for California-based Police Department
Thursday October 3, 8:30 am ET


Placentia Police Department "goes live" using Imagis` CABS(TM) Computerized Arrest and Booking System and Imagis` ID-2000(TM) Face Recognition Software
VANCOUVER, Oct. 3 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF; TSX:NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that the Placentia Police Department of Placentia, California, is now fully operational using Imagis` ID-2000 biometric face recognition software in conjunction with Imagis` CABS Computerized Arrest and Booking System. The Placentia Police Department is the fourth law enforcement agency in Orange County to successfully deploy Imagis` software.
ADVERTISEMENT


ID-2000 is an advanced software system that uses biometric face recognition to identify an individual using only a facial photo, video, or artist`s composite drawing. Used in conjunction with Imagis` CABS Computerized Arrest and Booking System, the Placentia Police Department has dramatically improved its ability to identify offenders while streamlining its internal administrative processes. This makes the agency more efficient in its day-to- day duties, including: saving time and money booking an offender, generating digital lineups of suspects in minutes, increasing the speed by which a suspect or offender is identified, and accessing all offence-related data from one easy-to-use system.

"CABS and the face recognition capabilities of ID-2000 are enabling us to better serve the people of Placentia," said Lt. Gary Sprague, Placentia Police Department. "We are now beginning to implement and use the software. We expect to use the facial recognition software in investigating, identifying and apprehending suspects as well as crime prevention. Not only that, but we expect to reduce our operating costs and receive a return on our investment through the direct savings associated with using this software."

In addition to its benefits to law enforcement and other public safety agencies, Imagis` ID-2000 face recognition technology has already been deployed or is applicable in the following sectors: airport security, access control, driver`s licenses and passports, homeland defense, and other identification and security initiatives.

THE PAPER CHASE
by Lee M. Webb
Imagis Technologies Inc., a Vancouver-based biometric player, has not yet received final TSX Venture Exchange (TSX) approval of a $1.75-million (U.S.) brokered private placement announced three months ago. While some regulatory filings and other public disclosures treat the $1.75-million (U.S.) financing as a done deal, with the cheque cut and the shares issued, the TSX is still awaiting further documentation from Imagis before applying the rubber stamp to the private placement.
On July 9, Imagis announced that it had entered into the brokered private placement comprising 1,166,667 shares priced at $1.50 (U.S.) per share and 291,667 warrants exercisable at $1.50 (U.S.) per share for two years with OSI Systems Inc. On the same day, Imagis reported that OSI`s chairman and chief executive officer, Deepak Chopra, had joined the company`s board of directors.
"Imagis has received preliminary acceptance to the private placement from the TSX Venture Exchange," the company reported in its July 9 news release. Three months later, there has been no official acknowledgement from the TSX that Imagis has obtained anything other than preliminary acceptance for the private placement.
"The preliminary acceptance would sort of be the first stage of acceptance," TSX spokesman Steve Kee explained when asked what "preliminary acceptance" entailed. "They may have some things that they need to complete. Just what they are I guess would [TRUNCATED]

GALLING BEHAVIOUR
by Lee M. Webb
Imagis Technologies Inc. has filed an amended statement of claim in its libel suit against U.S.-based Red Herring Communications Inc. and veteran journalist Christopher Byron over an unflattering article. Representing Imagis, Howard Shapray of Shapray Cramer & Associates filed the original statement of claim against Red Herring and Mr. Byron in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on Sept. 10. Mr. Shapray added further allegations regarding Red Herring`s actions in an amendment filed on Sept. 27.
According to the allegations in the Sept. 10 statement of claim, Mr. Byron maliciously defamed Imagis, including its management and directors, in an article first published on the Internet by Red Herring on Aug. 5. As Imagis claims, the allegedly libelous article was subsequently republished in the September print edition of Red Herring magazine. Canada Stockwatch provided details of the original statement of claim in a Sept. 13 article.
The original statement of claim has now been augmented with some new allegations. Not only did Red Herring publish the allegedly defamatory article twice, it subsequently claimed that it was standing behind Mr. Byron`s story, Imagis now alleges. Apparently Imagis and Mr. Shapray consider this behaviour galling, or at least actionable.
"After the publication of the Article in Red Herring magazine, on or about September 10, 2002, Red Herring`s editor sent an email to national news media [TRUNCATED]

Imagis Technologies and ORION Scientific Systems completes deployment of one of the largest digital imaging sharing systems in the United States
Monday October 21, 8:30 am ET


Imagis` face recognition technology now in use at 30 public-safety agencies in Alameda County, California
VANCOUVER, Oct. 21 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF; TSX:NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, together with its business partner, ORION Scientific Systems ("ORION"), announced today that it has successfully completed the deployment of the Multi-agency Uniform Imaging System (MUGS) for Alameda County, California. This deployment represents one of the first countywide, digital imaging sharing systems for law enforcement agencies in the United States.
ADVERTISEMENT


This new system replaces the traditional labor-intensive and costly processes involved in film-based mug shots, ink fingerprinting, and the hardcopy filing of police records at numerous storage locations throughout the county. The MUGS application, via Imagis` face recognition technology, enables public safety and law enforcement agencies to investigate a suspect or offender using only a digitized photo or composite drawing. This includes searching previous arrest records and interfacing with centralized repositories at Alameda County`s Central Identification Bureau. Once identified, offender records are easily updated with biographical data, officer`s remarks, and compared to the national Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).

"We are extremely pleased with the recent final acceptance of the MUGS application by the Alameda County Sheriff`s Office," said Eric Zidenberg, Vice President of ORION. "With the Sheriff`s acceptance, the county now has a countywide digital imaging sharing system that ties together 30 law enforcement agencies. The combination of the interface, developed to hook into the county`s mainframe database and Imagis` CABS Computerized Arrest and Booking System makes the system technically unique. Furthermore, this architecture makes expansion to surrounding counties - whereby a wider information-sharing network would be established - both possible and feasible. As the prime contractor on this project, we are extremely proud of the project and the team effort put forth by ORION, Imagis, the Alameda County Sheriff`s Office, and the law enforcement agencies within the county."

"The MUGS system has enabled us to retire our antiquated film booking cameras, saving the cost of film and camera maintenance, and the cost and delay of film processing. The new computerized booking photos are available throughout the County within minutes of when they were taken." stated Lt. Masterson. "The way the system was constructed it works together with our existing mainframe criminal justice system and our Livescans, reducing repetitive entries and inconsistent data. Using the system it is possible for an officer in any law enforcement agency in the County to create a line-up in minutes rather than days."

"In a recent case, where an individual had been tied to a crime scene by fingerprints, it was possible to print out a booking photo and have it available for the victim the same day," pointed out Lt. Masterson. "The people who use the system every day have found it speeds up their work and, if used properly, greatly reduces error. One of the benefits of the project was the implementation of a management process that enabled all County law enforcement agencies to participate in the project as it went along. This process will hopefully carry forward in similar projects requiring the cooperation of the Alameda County law enforcement community."

Police Departments in Alameda County include the cities of Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont, Alameda, Oakland, San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Newark, Fremont, Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton. Each city department is connected to local-area networks at 13 booking facilities across the county. Other county public safety agencies connected to the system include the Santa Rita Jail; the District Attorney`s Offices in Fremont, Oakland, Hayward, and Pleasanton; and the Oakland, Castro Valley, Dublin and Hayward Highway Patrol stations; UC Berkeley PD, Cal State Hayward PD, East Bay Regional Park District PD, Oakland Housing Authority PD, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory PD.

Confirmation of this final acceptance by the Alameda County Sheriff`s Office triggers the final payment in the previously announced US$2.65 million total contract (US$1.2 million to Imagis) during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002. The final payment to Imagis is US$500,000.00.

Suspects tipped to face scan
By Rebecca DiGirolamo
24oct02

IT can detect an intruder within six seconds by instantly scanning the face and fingertips, and it is expected to combat terrorism in airports across the world.

Making its international debut in Adelaide yesterday, the Biometric Access Control is supposed to revolutionise airport security in the wake of the Bali bombings and the September 11 attacks.
Loaded with digital photographs and fingerprints, the reader will authorise access to only those people whose face and fingertips match pre-programmed data.

The reader takes six seconds to give the green or red light and maps 700 features of the face with 93 per cent accuracy, irrespective of changes caused by age or plastic surgery.

The facial imaging technology of the 38cm tall by 22cm wide unit, to be manufactured in Perth, will scan the face of John Howard as he enters the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation leaders summit at Los Cabos in Mexico tomorrow.

"It will prevent people gaining unauthorised access to sensitive sites like airports and government buildings and events like APEC," said IMAGIS Technologies Asia Pacific vice-president Roger Henning.

Mr Henning, who unveiled the prototype at a national intelligence officers conference in Adelaide, said the unit would "dramatically reduce the risk of terrorism".

"It does not mean you cannot guarantee a terrorist attack, but it does mean you can screen with 100 per cent accuracy those people who are going into a conference or boarding a plane," he said.

The device will photograph the face of an unauthorised entry and lock down entry points. It can be loaded with images of people on a wanted list, for immediate detection.

The unit has been developed in Perth over the past nine months by Singapore-based company emBiosys and using IMAGIS Technologies` facial recognition systems.

OSI Systems` Subsidiary, Metorex Security Products, and Imagis Technologies Announce Prototype Walk-Through Metal Detector and Biometric Portal
Monday October 28, 5:01 am ET
Will Be Unveiled at AVSEC Conference in Rome, Italy


HAWTHORNE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2002-- OSI Systems, Inc.`s (NASDAQ: OSIS - News) wholly-owned subsidiary Metorex Security Products Oy and Imagis Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: IGSTF - News; CDNX: NAB - News; Germany: IGY) jointly announced the unveiling of a working, proof-of-concept prototype of a walk-through biometric imaging hardware security solution at the AVSEC World 2002 Conference in Rome, Italy.
ADVERTISEMENT


The prototype, referred to as "METOR-ID," is a walk-through security system combining Imagis` ID-2000(TM) face recognition technology with Metorex`s walk-through metal detection technology. While still only a prototype, the marriage of these powerful technologies has the potential to produce a unique and powerful security system that can be deployed at any choke point to monitor and control entry and exit. Potential markets include airport security, prisons or other correctional facilities, industrial, corporate and government buildings and facilities. In addition METOR-ID should easily work with and complement existing security systems.

The units being demonstrated at AVSEC are early-stage, proof-of-concept prototypes and may undergo substantial design revisions before any production models are ultimately standardized. Customer and/or beta-site feedback will determine the viability of this new security and identification technology. No specific time frame for launch has been determined at this time.

OSI Systems is a strategic partner and significant shareholder in Imagis, having acquired an approximately 6% stake in the company for $1.75 million earlier this year. As part of the investment, OSI Systems and Imagis had entered into an exclusive strategic alliance to develop and market biometric hardware solutions for passenger and package screening applications.

"We are eager to add biometric solutions to our existing portfolio of passenger screening technologies," said Deepak Chopra, Chairman and CEO of OSI Systems. "This portal demonstrates our ability to combine our hardware engineering expertise with Imagis` extensive software capabilities."

"The walk-through metal detector represents a very controlled entry point at most secure locations," continued Chopra. "Our hope is to leverage our significant installed base of walk-through metal detectors and provide those customers with added capabilities."

"METOR-ID represents the first milestone in our relationship with OSI Systems and their Security Group subsidiaries," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc. "We are very pleased to have produced -- in conjunction with Metorex -- this first working prototype in just over two months, and we look forward to our continued cooperation in developing security and identification solutions for a variety of different applications and environments."

Imagis Technologies Enhances APEC Security with ID-2000(TM) Face Recognition Technology
Thursday October 31, 9:10 am ET


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--
Imagis teams up with Tecnica Comercial Vilsa, HP, TAL Digital, and Milestone Systems to monitor key locations, including San Jose del Cabo Airport, at 10th APEC Conference and Leaders Meeting

ADVERTISEMENT


Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF; TSX-V:NAB; Germany:IGY), working in conjunction with Tecnica Comercial Vilsa S.A., HP (NYSE:HPQ - News), TAL Digital Solutions, and Milestone Systems, announced today that Imagis` ID-2000 biometric face recognition technology was successfully deployed as an integral part of the overall security at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Conference in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. For security reasons, this announcement was delayed until the conclusion of the conference.

Imagis, HP, TAL Digital, and Milestone Systems teamed up with Tecnica Comercial Vilsa, Imagis` lead business partner in Mexico, to provide and operate two separate video surveillance and face recognition security installations at APEC. This included one installation at San Jose del Cabo Airport and one at the Fiesta Americana Hotel. The Fiesta Americana Hotel was the location for numerous conference activities, including the 10th APEC Leaders Meeting for the leaders of the 21 member economies. These installations also represented an industry debut of Imagis` face recognition technology working on HP`s recently introduced rx5670 server, based on the Itanium® 2 processor from Intel(TM).

The San Jose del Cabo Airport installation, which is one of the first successful demonstrations of non-intrusive biometric technology in a domestic and international airport environment, consisted of five cameras, two of which were dedicated to face recognition identification. Security stations scanned all individuals passing through a security checkpoint and successfully compared the images recorded against a watch list of images provided by the government of Mexico.

The second installation was used throughout the week by APEC`s security team to enhance on-site delegate and leader safety. This installation included Milestone`s Surveillance XXV video surveillance software, provided by TAL Digital, running on the HP rx5670 server. TAL Digital`s JET Express provided the interface into Imagis` ID-2000 face recognition technology. The end result was a real-time, IP-based digital security system that was able to remotely monitor conference activities 24x7 at all points of entry and at key security checkpoints. Imagis` ID-2000 was also available for security forces to use in a non-intrusive accreditation verification environment (all 25,000 attendees, volunteers, and staff were pre-enrolled in a comparison database).

"Both instances of the technology performed admirably and received attention from security officials of the 21 economies represented during APEC," said Sr. Luis Raul Vidales Sanchez, President and CEO of Tecnica Comercial Vilsa. "We were very satisfied with the support and technology provided by Imagis and their partners for this very important event."

"With the cooperation of our partners, we were able to successfully deliver an unprecedented level of security for one of the world`s most highly-secure events," stated Iain Drummond, President and CEO, Imagis Technologies. "Not only were we able to further our working relationship with these partners, but the event itself was an incredible opportunity to showcase the benefits and capabilities of our face recognition technology to the participating member nations and the world at large."

Added Steven Trubow, CTO, TAL Digital Solutions, "At APEC we were able to show a combined technology solution that is available today - not just vaporware planned for tomorrow. We were also able to show that real-time digital monitoring combined with biometric identification can dramatically enhance security efforts for law enforcement, customs and immigration, and other high-security government and private-sector initiatives."

Imagis Reports Significant Revenue Growth for the Third Quarter 2002
Thursday November 14, 9:02 am ET


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Imagis Technologies Inc., ("Imagis"), (OTCBB:IGSTF;TSX:NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of biometric security and identification systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that its fiscal third quarter revenues at September 30, 2002 were $679,509 an increase of 160% over the same period last year. The increased revenues were primarily due to higher software sales. The increase in software sales revenue during the third quarter is attributable to a UK national law enforcement agency and an overall increase in the number of customers.
ADVERTISEMENT


Overall, the Company incurred a net loss for the quarter of $1,643,367 or $.09 per share, which is higher than the net loss in the third quarter of 2001 of $648,756 or $.04 per share. While revenues rose 160% in the quarter, the Company continues to invest in the areas of sales and marketing, technology development, and administration resulting in the higher operating expenses.

"For the first nine months of 2002 our revenues have doubled compared to the same period in 2001," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO of Imagis. "The revenue growth is the result of continuing to succeed with existing and new opportunities for biometric software security applications domestically and internationally. Prior expenditures in the areas of product development and improvement, sales and marketing, and management have helped drive our strong revenue growth to date while current expenditures are laying the foundation for what we believe will be strong future growth."

Imagis revenues for the third quarter were lower than in the second quarter of 2002, consistent with the pattern in prior years.

During the third quarter, Imagis made several important achievements including the introduction of prototype products developed in conjunction with Imagis partners Zixsys Inc. (a subsidiary of Sanyo Inc.) and Metorex Security Products Oy, (a subsidiary of OSI Systems Inc.), including Zixsys` Display ID Controller and Metorex`s METOR-ID, an intelligent identification and metal detection unit. In addition, Imagis facial recognition technology employed in conjunction with Tecnica Comercial Vilsa SA, HP (NYSE:HPQ - News), TAL Digital Solutions, and Milestone Systems was successfully deployed at the recent APEC Conference in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In addition, Imagis and Orion Scientific Systems Inc. completed the deployment of one of the largest digital image sharing systems in the United States located in Alameda County, CA.

Imagis Technologies Proposes Acquisition of Briyante Software Corp.
Monday December 9, 9:09 am ET
Acquisition would provide Imagis with Briyante`s Justice Information Server technology to facilitate law enforcement, public safety, and homeland security information sharing

VANCOUVER, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2002-- Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF - News; TSX VENTURE:NAB - News; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, and Briyante Software Corp. ("Briyante") (TSX VENTURE:BSC - News) announced today that the two companies have signed a Letter of Agreement ("Letter of Agreement") whereby Imagis proposes to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Briyante in consideration for Common Shares of Imagis. Under the terms of the Letter of Agreement, Imagis proposes to offer Briyante shareholders one (1) Common Share of Imagis for each 3.5 Common Shares of Briyante that they hold (the "Exchange Ratio"). The calculation of the Exchange Ratio was done on the basis of Imagis having 19,375,875 Common Shares outstanding (24,179,919 on a fully diluted basis) and Briyante having 10,684,504 Common Shares outstanding (12,557,004 on a fully diluted basis).

ADVERTISEMENT
The complete agreement for the acquisition will be documented by a definitive agreement ("Definitive Agreement") that is to be negotiated and which will contain the usual representations and warranties for similar transactions. Imagis and Briyante intend to complete the Acquisition pursuant to a plan of arrangement to be adopted under the Company Act (British Columbia) by the shareholders of Briyante. The completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of customary conditions, including the entering into of the Definitive Agreement as well as regulatory and shareholder approval. Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2003.

Briyante is a developer and marketer of information sharing solutions and custom software applications, including their patent-pending Justice Integration Server (JIS). The JIS solution uses Microsoft® .NET architecture and XML Web Services to enable data sharing between all aspects of the justice and public safety markets. For example, officers and detectives can retrieve information in real-time (such as names, arrest records, warrant details, license plate numbers, suspect descriptions, or particular words or phrases in police reports) from any county, state, federal, or international agency. This ability to access information across disparate and incompatible data sources regardless of the database type or location has been identified as a critical need by both the law enforcement community and by many of the agencies involved in Homeland Security.

It is the rights to and capabilities of Briyante`s JIS technology-and its potential when combined with Imagis` face and image recognition capabilities-that makes this such an important acquisition for Imagis. Once the JIS is a part of Imagis` product line, Imagis will be able to provide existing and future customers with a Microsoft .NET-centric information sharing solution that facilitates both data and image sharing between disparate databases. This will enable informational intelligence queries based solely on a person`s digitized photo, tattoo, or other distinguishing mark.

"Following the passing of the Homeland Security Information Sharing Act in June of 2002, which legislated the sharing of information between the Federal intelligence and law enforcement communities, President Bush called upon the private sector to develop solutions that help link the vast amounts of knowledge resident within each agency and at all levels of government," says Buck Revell, Chairman of Imagis Technologies Inc. and the former Associate Deputy Director of the FBI. "At Imagis we heeded that challenge. This acquisition positions Imagis as the only vendor currently capable of enabling regional information sharing for all text, imagery, and facial information between divergent justice agencies and their respective database and intelligence systems."

"Microsoft has been working closely with Briyante and Imagis to develop their information sharing systems built on Windows .NET technology. From a technology standpoint, the acquisition of Briyante by Imagis is a perfect match," says Jeff Langford, .NET Technology Specialist, Justice & Public Safety Solutions, Microsoft Corporation. "Not only does the combined offering allow a user to access textual information from any records management system database or legacy system, but now the same user can query other local, state, and national image databases using only a digital photo, composite drawing, or mug shot. The combined expertise of the two companies results in a more robust end-user application as well as incorporating Microsoft.NET technology into the Imagis product line."

Imagis has also agreed, subject to regulatory approval, that commencing February 1, 2003 it will provide Briyante with non-refundable financing to cover its monthly operating expenses until the Acquisition is completed or cancelled. Furthermore, both parties have agreed that that if either party chooses not to complete the Acquisition for any reason other than one outside their control, or as a result of material information acquired as a result of due diligence, then the party choosing not to complete the transaction will reimburse the other party for the expenses it incurred in connection with all matters relating to the Acquisition (not to exceed $100,000). The signed Letter of Agreement was the result of arms-length negotiations and has been approved by the boards of the two companies.

The Imagis Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the proposed plan of arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

About Briyante Software Corp.

Briyante Software Corp. (TSX-VEN:BSC) is the developer and marketer of the Justice Integration Server (JIS). The JIS allows all agencies within the Justice and Public Safety arena to share information with one another in a safe and controlled manner. Through the JIS`s patent-pending visual metaphors, agencies with disparate systems (RMS, CAD, JMS, CMS, etc) can publish or access relevant data without the need for programming. Agencies are free to share as much or as little data with their partners in a highly-secure manner and without having to give up ownership of the data. Built on Microsoft .NET, the JIS is a completely standards-based product utilizing WEB Services and UDDI to create complex Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) networks easily and quickly. The JIS client software can currently be used as both a standard desktop application and as a Web-based service. Mobile versions of the client software can be used on a number of systems, including any Microsoft Pocket PC-based computing device.

Imagis Technologies responds to recent Canada Stockwatch and New York Post articles
Thursday December 19, 12:54 pm ET


VANCOUVER, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - The management of Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF - News) responded today to two articles: the first written by Mr. Lee Webb on December 13, 2002 in Canada Stockwatch, and the second written by Mr. Christopher Byron as published in the New York Post on December 16, 2002. Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Byron make statements insinuating that directors and investors in Imagis have connections to alleged supporters of terrorism. Imagis categorically denies the allegations, accusations, and innuendo contained in these articles. Imagis is not now - and never has been - associated, either directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, or investor, with any terrorist organization, individual terrorist, or individuals associated with terrorism.
ADVERTISEMENT


Both articles are comprised of innuendo as well as manipulative, jingoistic language. In addition, the personal attacks on individual directors of the Company are, in their nature and content, attacks on Imagis. The articles are the continuation of collaborative attempts to create the impression through innuendo and false association that illicit activities are being sanctioned. Imagis has referred the matter to its litigation counsel for advice and possible further legal action to protect its shareholders and its business. In the meantime, Imagis will continue to focus on growing its business.

To keep matters in perspective, it should be noted that Mr. Byron is currently being sued by Imagis in the Supreme Court of the Province of British Columbia. The Company alleges an article Mr. Byron wrote about Imagis, and which was subsequently published in Red Herring magazine, libeled Imagis. Furthermore, the person known as Lee Webb has published a series of 42 mostly repetitious articles in Canada Stockwatch pertaining to Imagis to date, with the imputations in each one often becoming more sensationalistic and outlandish than the one preceding it. The latest mudslinging attempts border on the farcical. These articles taken as a whole appear to be calculated to damage Imagis` reputation in the law enforcement and security communities. Imagis considers the attempts to damage the company and thereby injure its shareholders shameful, especially in light of the fact that the Company has commercially-proven technology that can and is being deployed in critical situations to combat crime as well as greatly assist law enforcement in general. Imagis` solutions are beginning to gain widespread adoption in the law enforcement sector all over the world and are making valuable contributions to policing and security efforts.

In summary, Imagis responds to the articles as follows:

Mr. Byron states that Imagis, "has a software program for picking terrorists out of crowds at airports." This vastly understates the power and application of Imagis` technology. Imagis` biometric facial recognition software is designed to catalogue and search databases of images and find the closest match to an image submitted to the software. One application of the software, amongst many, is airport security. Neither Mr. Webb nor Mr. Byron appear to have made any attempts to learn the capabilities of Imagis` technology. When Mr. Byron was invited to visit the Company and to review its technology firsthand, he stated, "Let me be clear.... I have no interest in or capacity to analyze anything involving the technology more complicated than a lead pencil."

An important part of Imagis` plan to grow its business is to acquire Briyante Software Corp. ("Briyante"). Briyante has developed patent-pending software that allows the sharing of data between disparate databases. The software is currently installed in three law enforcement agencies in the United States where it is successfully contributing to the identification and arrest of criminals. It has become apparent to Imagis and its business partners that this ability is critical to the widespread acceptance of Imagis` technology in law enforcement, security, and related markets.

Mr. Byron claims the merger of Imagis and Briyante is typical of "penny stock" transactions in Canada and that it is the result of lax Canadian securities laws. In fact, the merger has yet to be approved by the shareholders of Briyante and by the Canadian securities regulators.

Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Byron state Mr. Altaf Nazerali and Mr. Pierre Besuchet were Directors of Even Resources Ltd. ("Even"), a predecessor company to Briyante and one which had links to certain Saudi Arabian entities. Leaving aside the fact that the events in question took place over a decade ago, the simple facts are that Even was granted an Exploration Permit to evaluate a large copper deposit in Saudi Arabia in the early 1990s. The copper deposit was discovered by the United States Geological Survey and a French BRGM (at the time an agency of the French government), operating under contract to the Saudi government. Even, subsequently entered into a memorandum of understanding with Alujain Corporation ("Alujain"), a large Saudi industrial group, to develop the mineral deposit contingent upon a concession being granted by the government of Saudi Arabia. The concession was never granted and Even abandoned negotiations in the mid-1990s. The intended suggestion by Mr. Webb that Messrs. Nazerali and Besuchet being former Directors of Even is evidence of Imagis` association with terrorists is ridiculous.

In repeated articles Mr. Webb has linked Mr. Nazerali to a Mr. Irving Kott and First Commerce Securities ("FCS"). Mr. Nazerali has advised Imagis that three companies associated with him were awarded three judgments in 1988 in the Luxembourg courts stating that the allegations made by FCS`s receiver in bankruptcy who initiated these legal actions in 1987 were unfounded, dismissing the claims in the process. Mr. Webb has not mentioned this. Furthermore, these allegations were investigated by the regulatory authorities when Mr. Nazerali first applied to be registered under the Securities Act of British Columbia. Mr. Nazerali subsequently became a registrant and has operated in this jurisdiction for over a decade with an unblemished regulatory record.

Furthermore, Mr. Webb has continually attempted to link Mr. Nazerali to the Bank of Commerce and Credit International ("BCCI") leaving the impression that he was involved in the dealings leading to the bank`s collapse. Mr. Nazerali`s only association with BCCI was as a customer. Any imputations to the contrary are utterly false.

Mr. Webb claims that much of Imagis` financing comes from "offshore backers." This is incorrect. While some of the initial funding for Imagis came from non-North American investors, the majority of funding has been raised from Canadian and US investors by way of private placements. These private placements, the investors, and the monies raised are all documented in regulatory filings. In prior articles about Imagis written by Mr. Webb, he has made extensive reference to Imagis` regulatory filings. Why he did not check Imagis` filings relating to its financings, or if he did, why he characterizes Imagis as a mostly foreign-financed entity remains an unanswered question.

Mr. Webb makes mention of Valor Invest Ltd. ("Valor"), describing it as "Mr. Nazerali`s Swiss-based Valor Invest Ltd." This suggests Mr. Nazerali controls Valor. In fact, Mr. Nazerali is only a Director of Valor. Mr. Nazerali, as a Director of both Imagis and Valor does not vote on any matters involving Valor`s holdings of Imagis shares, nor does he have any beneficial ownership in any such shares, a matter which has been publicly disclosed as are his direct and indirect holdings of Imagis shares.

Mr. Webb notes Harpings Management Inc. ("Harpings") was an early investor in Imagis. Mr. Webb then describes Harpings` investment in an unrelated company, M.I.T. Ventures Corporation ("M.I.T.") several years prior to its investment in Imagis. M.I.T. subsequently received investments from several offshore investors, one of whom is alleged by the US Treasury Department to have links to terrorists. Mr. Webb then draws by way of innuendo and many degrees of separation an association between Imagis and terrorists based on Harpings having invested in both Imagis and M.I.T., long before M.I.T. received monies from the alleged terrorist linked financial group. In so doing, Mr. Webb attempts to establish a link between Imagis and terrorists. His motive is as transparent as his logic is flimsy.

Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Byron proceed to state that Mr. Pierre Besuchet is a Director of Valor Invest Ltd., Faisal Finance (Switzerland) S.A. ("Faisal"), and Dar-al-Maal al Islami S.A. ("DMI"). Both Mr. Webb and Mr. Byron are in error. Mr. Besuchet has not been a Director of DMI for several years. Mr. Webb states DMI has been named in a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the victims of the September 11 attacks. Mr. Webb relies on quotes from the class action filing to describe alleged connections between DMI subsidiaries and some of their officers and directors and Middle Eastern terrorists. Although Mr. Webb acknowledges that the class action lawsuit only contains allegations that have never been proven in a court of law, he still attempts to imply Imagis is associated with Middle Eastern terrorists because Mr. Besuchet is a Director of Valor and Faisal. As previously noted Mr. Besuchet has not been a Director of DMI for several years, and in fact, is a well respected senior- banking executive who has assisted in the financings of many companies. Even if Mr. Besuchet was currently a Director of DMI, the assertions of Mr. Webb and Mr. Byron can only be described as unfounded. There is no connection between Imagis and any terrorists.

Mr. Webb`s article of December 12 also repeats certain false allegations about Mr. Revell, Imagis` Chairman, knowing full well that the original publisher of these allegations had withdrawn from circulation the book in which these allegations were made and had consented to destroy all copies. This is another shameless, highhanded, and desperate attempt to discredit Imagis by attacking Mr. Revell. Mr. Revell, one of the most honored and highly- decorated officials in the FBI`s history, has served his country, the United States, with dedication and distinction for over 40 years. Attacking a man of Mr. Revell`s public record and stature as part of an attempt to discredit Imagis is not fair and is hardly responsible journalism.

The sheer number and volume of repeated attacks on Imagis and several of its Directors, and the continued reliance on defamatory innuendo as well as manipulative and emotive language, factual inaccuracies, and false association raises questions as to the true motives of the authors of these articles. As well as having referred the matter to its counsel for further legal action, Imagis intends to bring these concerns to the appropriate regulatory authorities.

Good luck

Is This the Face of a Terrorist?

By Julia Scheeres | Also by this reporter Page 1 of 1

02:00 AM Jan. 04, 2003 PT

FBI investigators have traveled to Pakistan to determine whether a man claiming he was mistakenly included in the agency`s wanted list is telling the truth about his identity.

But face-recognition experts said Friday they were able to back up the man`s claim in a matter of minutes by comparing his FBI mug shot with photographs taken by the news media.

The confusion started earlier this week, when the FBI released the photos, names and birth dates of five Arab men who are allegedly residing in the United States after slipping over the Canadian border.

The FBI charged that the men used fake passports obtained through an ID and smuggling ring that has known terrorist connections.

But a Pakistani jeweler named Mohammed Asghar contacted the media after seeing his mug shot included on the FBI`s list under the name Mustafa Khan Owasi. He said the photo had been misidentified, and that it was clearly a picture of him, not the other man named.

Ashghar said he was innocent of the FBI charges, since he had never even visited the United States, let alone entered as an illegal resident. Several news organizations ran interviews with him, along with their own photos of Ashghar published next to the FBI`s mug shot.

"I have no links with any terrorist information," Asghar told both The Associated Press and CNN in interviews in Lahore, Pakistan, where he lives.

Several face-recognition experts said they were able to determine that the photo of the man wanted by the FBI and the man photographed by the media in Lahore were one and the same. There was no need to travel halfway around the globe.

Even to an untrained eye, the photographs look strikingly similar: The men in both images sport the same cheek mole, the same neck crease and the same furry unibrow.

Three tests using three different face-scanning technologies backed up that supposition.

Imagis Technologies compared the media photo and the FBI mug shot to a database of 17,000 faces. The company`s software, which maps 692 points in a triangular area between the subjects` two pupils and nose tip, was able to quickly link the two photographs.

Cognitec Systems, a German company whose software analyzes faces using pattern recognition -- including the distance between the eyes and facial bones -- dumped both images into a database of 5,000 faces and ran its software.

"It was a perfect match," said Cognitec sales director Juergen Pampus. "No other images popped up."

Finally, Alex Rothacker, a New Jersey biometric consultant, compared the images to a database of 20,000 faces using software based on Identix technology that measures the distance between facial features such as the bridge of the nose and the cheekbones. He came up with the same result as the other two tests.

Richard Smith, a security consultant who challenged the face-scanning experts to run the test, said the exercise demonstrated a good use of the technology.

"I think face-recognition technology could be an important tool to search massive databases of images in order to find people who are trying to get fake IDs or passports," said Smith, who did extensive tests of Identix`s system. "It also has a role to play in cases of mistaken identity, as we`ve seen in the Pakistani guy`s case."

Face-scanning technology works best with photographs that have been taken in controlled circumstances -- such as passport or ID photos -- where the subject is looking directly at the camera and the lighting is adequate.

Tests using face-scanning systems to analyze a live video feed have been spotty at best -- the systems are frequently confounded by shadows, head motion and headgear such as eyeglasses. For example, a pilot program at the Palm Beach airport found that face-scanning software failed to identify airport employees 53 percent of the time.

The FBI refused to say whether it is considering using face recognition to analyze the Pakistani jeweler`s photos with the mug shot on its site.

"We wouldn`t be at liberty to discuss any investigative techniques we are using," an FBI spokeswoman said.

Imagis Technologies Signs Business Development Agreement with Wirehound LLC
Tuesday February 11, 9:01 am ET


VANCOUVER, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF - News), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, and Wirehound LLC ("Wirehound") a developer of vertical market applications using J2ME technology on handheld devices, announced today that the two companies have entered into a Business Development Agreement ("Agreement"). As part of the Agreement, Wirehound will develop and market solutions employing Imagis` face recognition and information sharing technologies for end users who require remote identification and verification capabilities.
ADVERTISEMENT


Imagis` ID-2000(TM), which uses a proprietary biometric technique to authenticate a person`s identity, will be integrated into one of Wirehound`s encrypted wireless alert applications called Birddog(TM). The Birddog solution is a J2ME-based technology that has been designed to enhance the effectiveness of face recognition for use by law enforcement, public safety, and other security personnel. When a biometric match is made, the image and location data are retrieved by Birddog and pushed out over wireless networks to appropriate individuals. With this technology, police and security officers can be alerted to potentially dangerous individuals or persons of interest within seconds. Birddog technology allows for the cell phone to hold multiple images and receive passive alerting for all those who are logged into a network.

Furthermore, Imagis` Integrated Justice System(TM) - a technology platform that facilitates information sharing for the law enforcement community - will be integrated with Wirehound`s Cerebrus(TM) Cellular Workstation technology. The combination of these technologies creates a complete remote office from which users can securely access information and imagery stored in disparate databases and from multiple agencies. This includes potential access to Department of Motor Vehicle Information, warrant searches, or other critical information that is allowed to be transmitted to the user.

"We believe Wirehound`s technology, when combined with Imagis` face recognition and information sharing capabilities, will open a new and untapped market for our law enforcement and security applications," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc. "By allowing the communication of facial recognition matches to remote users over wireless handheld devices, including cell phones, the effectiveness of policing and security organizations will be greatly enhanced."

"At Wirehound, we have an extensive background in biometrics and have evaluated a number of facial recognition technologies before choosing to integrate with Imagis` ID-2000," said Ronald White, Chief Operating Officer of Wirehound LLC. "It is our belief that Imagis` face recognition software is by far the most advanced and most effective facial recognition technology on the market. Furthermore, we believe that Imagis` information sharing and integrated justice technologies further complement and extend the functionality of our unique Birddog and Cerebrus solutions. We look forward to a very successful relationship between the two companies."

Imagis will be joined by Wirehound at this week`s California Police Chiefs Association Annual Conference in Oakland, CA (Feb. 9-13). The two companies will be demonstrating an integrated solution showcasing remote data retrieval, wireless alerts, and face recognition

Imagis Technologies` ID-2000 Face Recognition Technology Ordered by Singapore Government
Monday March 17, 9:00 am ET


VANCOUVER, March 17 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF; TSX.V:NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that an initial order has been placed by the Singapore Government for Imagis` ID-2000(TM) face recognition technology. The use of ID-2000 is intended to enhance the investigative capabilities across a number of agencies within the government.
Imagis is working in Singapore in collaboration with emBiosys Asia- Pacific Pte. Ltd, a leading Singapore biometrics-based system integrator.

ID-2000 is highly advanced software technology that identifies an individual using only a facial photo, video, or artist`s composite drawing. This technology can be used to identify terrorists, drug-traffickers, and known criminals, and has achieved notable success for governments and law enforcement agencies around the world. It was used to protect world leaders, including US President George Bush, at the 10th APEC Conference and Leaders Meeting held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in October 2002. Two separate video surveillance and face recognition security installations were deployed - one at San Jose del Cabo Airport and one at the hotel hosting the conference. This installation employed several digital cameras, two of which were dedicated to Imagis ID-2000, one at a security choke point, the other surveying video of conference attendees on a 24/7 basis. These installations represented the first use of any face recognition technology on a high-powered 64-bit Itanium(R) architecture, allowing access to very large databases.

ID-2000 is used in many major government agencies, including a large county-wide installation in Alameda County, California, where 30 law enforcement agencies are linked over a LAN. Imagis ID-2000 is used in conjunction with Imagis` law enforcement Computerized Arrest & Booking System, CABS(TM), where it has assisted in the identification of serious criminals. Imagis ID-2000 has also been deployed in a significant law enforcement project within a UK national police agency.

"We are delighted that the Singapore Government is proceeding with the use of the new release of our ID-2000 facial recognition technology. This latest version represents a quantum improvement in recognition accuracy over previous releases, and we look forward to it making a central contribution to improved security for the Singapore Government," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc.

Imagis Reports Significant Revenue Growth for 2002


VANCOUVER, CANADA, April 1, 2003 -- Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF; TSX.V:NAB; Germany:IGY), a leading developer of biometric security and identification systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that its fiscal year revenues at December 31, 2002 were $3,022,888, an increase of 44% over the previous fiscal year. The increased revenues were almost entirely due to higher software sales. Sales of the Company`s software products rose 70% to $2,584,039 this year as compared to $1,519,925 for 2001. The increase in software sales revenues this year is primarily due to a major installation at a United Kingdom national police agency and the sale of a licensing agreement to Zixsys Inc., a subsidiary of SANYO Semiconductor Company as well as a significant increase in the total number of customers.

Overall, the Company incurred a net loss for 2002 of $6,951,393 or $0.38 per share, which is 130% higher than the net loss incurred in 2001 of $3,020,704 or $0.21 per share. While revenues rose 44% during the year, the Company continued to invest in the areas of sales and marketing, technology development, and administration resulting in higher operating expenses. The increase in operating costs during 2002 was due to higher levels of activity in all areas in anticipation of an increased level of demand for the company`s products, particularly in the security sector in the US. While the need for the US government to first build the security administration infrastructure has delayed any implementation so far, the significant opportunity for substantial expenditures on security/defense initiatives clearly remains. The Management of the company has implemented significant cost reduction strategies during the final quarter of 2002 and the current operating expense rate has been reduced significantly, to approximately $7,000,000 per annum.

"For 2002 our revenues increased 44% compared to 2001," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO of Imagis. "The revenue growth is the result of continuing to succeed with existing and new opportunities for biometric software security applications domestically and internationally. During 2002 a complete management team, with a commensurate increase in costs, was assembled in order to enable us to compete with much larger companies. Prior investments in the areas of product and technology development as well as sales and marketing have helped drive our strong revenue growth to date while current expenditures are laying the foundation for what we are confident will be strong future growth."

During the year Imagis achieved several important milestones including the introduction of prototype products developed in conjunction with Imagis partners Zixsys Inc. (a subsidiary of SANYO Semiconductor Company) and Metorex Security Products Oy, (a subsidiary of OSI Systems Inc.), including Zixsys` Display ID Controller and Metorex`s METOR-ID, with facial identification built into an intelligent metal detector unit. Imagis facial recognition technology was successfully deployed in conjunction with Tecnica Comercial Vilsa SA, HP (NYSE:HPQ), TAL Digital Digital Solutions, and Milestone Systems at the recent APEC Conference in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In addition, Imagis and Orion Scientific Systems Inc. completed the deployment of one of the largest digital image sharing systems in the United States located in Alameda County, CA.

Grampian Police to Use Biometric Facial Recognition to Identify Suspects in Seconds
Monday March 31, 9:01 am ET


VANCOUVER, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB:IGSTF - News), a leading developer of law enforcement software and biometric systems using advanced facial and image recognition technology, announced today that Steria, a leading European IT services provider and one of Imagis` business partners, has been chosen by the Grampian Police Force in Scotland to provide a biometric facial recognition system that will dramatically enhance the investigative capabilities of the force. Steria will integrate Imagis` ID-2000(tm) face recognition technology to enable the Grampian Police to confirm the identities of suspects by cross-checking against photographic records. This is the same technology that was used to protect world leaders, including US President George W. Bush, at the 10th APEC Summit in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in October 2002.
ADVERTISEMENT


ID-2000 is highly-advanced software technology that identifies an individual using 692 facial descriptors to capture and identify a face. Importantly, ID-2000 works with all races and genders and accommodates changes in hairstyles, or the growth/shaving of a beard. The technology can be used to identify suspects from images such as video, CCTV, photographs, artists` composite drawing and police e-fits.

Imagis` facial recognition software will be integrated into Steria`s CellFile "nominal search" mechanism to search Grampian`s existing database of images. A nominal file is a text and photograph record of an individual. By integrating with Imagis` software, the system will be able to identify a face by searching 15 million records within one minute. Consequently, suspect identifications that may have taken months of police time previously, can now be completed successfully within seconds.

Head of CID at Grampian Police, Detective Chief Superintendent Keith Wilkins said, "The Force has earned a deserved reputation for being at the forefront in police use of information technology. The adoption of facial recognition technology and integrating it with our existing files puts Grampian at the cutting edge of policing today. The reason is rather simple - facial recognition allows us to identify suspects very quickly. The benefits for the community are obvious."

Steve Smith, Biometrics Business Development Manager, Steria said, "The Grampian Police project and projects such as the Eurodac Fingerprint Identification System - which Steria implemented for the EU, providing 16 European countries with access to an `Asylum Seekers` fingerprint database - means Steria`s expertise in biometrics is now recognised internationally. Steria is proud to provide state of the art systems that help our law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. Grampian Police joins a group, including the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS), the Scottish Criminal Records Office (SCRO), West Midlands Police and Customs and Exercise, all of whom have had `imaging` systems implemented by Steria."

"Our ID-2000 software is leading the way in biometric facial recognition and the fast identification capabilities it will give to Grampian Police should prove invaluable," said Iain Drummond, President and CEO of Imagis Technologies Inc. "Imagis is proud to partner with Steria to provide a state of the art law enforcement solution to the Grampian Police Force."

FBI startet Highend-Netzwerk gegen Krimielle


Von Dirk Delbrouck
ZDNet
07. April 2003, 11:45 Uhr


600 Millionen Dollar Trilogy-System soll mehrere 100 Terabyte Datenbestand durchsuchen können
Das FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) rüstet sich für das 21. Jahrhundert und hat jetzt ein 600 Millionen Dollar teures Computernetzwerk in Betrieb genommen, mit denen künftig Kriminelle schneller gefasst werden sollen.



Das "Trilogy" getaufte Netzwerk soll dabei helfen, die von den einzelnen Niederlassungen gesammelten Datenbestände untereinander schneller auszutauschen.

Die neue Datenbank wird laut dem FBI bereits von 300 Agenten und Analysten genutzt. Das System soll zudem in der Lage sein, Beziehungen zwischen den 26 Million Dokumenten herzustellen.

Bis Dezember sollen virtuelle "Case Files" erstellt sein, die dabei helfen Terroristen und andere Kriminelle schneller zu fassen. Alle entsprechenden Mitarbeiter sollen dann auf diese Akten per PC Zugriff haben. Die Datenbank soll laut den Angaben mehrere 100 Terabyte Informationen speichern können.

Doch auch die Hardware hat das FBI modernisiert. Noch vor zwei Jahren hat die Bundesbehörde mit 386er-PCs gearbeitet. Inzwischen wurden jedoch 22.000 neue PCs angeschafft und ein Netzwerk-Zentrum installiert. Als nächsten Schritt plant das FBI seine Informationen mit anderen Bundes-, Landes- und örtlichen Behörden zu teilen.

Security Program to Rely on Biometrics

WASHINGTON - Foreign visitors arriving in the United States by air and sea will be tracked by a new system that verifies their identities through fingerprints or newer technologies such as iris scans or digital photos.

The new program is designed to allow U.S. officials to track the comings and goings of tourists, students and business travelers from overseas, part of efforts to tighten border security after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Fingerprints, for example, will be checked against law enforcement databases to find potential terrorists trying to enter the United States.


Homeland Security Department officials said the congressionally mandated system will make it easier for visitors to come to the United States despite stricter border security, while making it more difficult for potential terrorists to enter.


The department`s goal is to have the program in place by the end of the year at seaports and at airports where international flights arrive. It is to be expanded to border crossings with Canada and Mexico by 2005.


"We want to keep terrorists out without compromising the welcoming mat, since the founding of our country has long invited good people around the world to our shores to study, and to work and to live out their dreams," Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said at a National Press Club luncheon marking the department`s first 100 days. "America remains, and must always remain, a welcoming nation."


Still to be determined is the mix of technologies to be used, which may include scans of a person`s iris, considered as unique as a fingerprint, or digital photos. Visitors may be required to provide the biometric identifications when they apply for visas or after they arrive in the United States.


Known as U.S. VISIT, the U.S. Visitor Immigrant Status Indication Technology system will replace current efforts to track visitors, which include registration of males 16 and older from 25 Middle Eastern and other countries.


It also will allow U.S. authorities to discover quickly when someone has stayed in the country with an expired visa. At least three of the Sept. 11 hijackers had expired visas.


Travel industry officials agreed with Ridge that any new border control program should be so efficient that visitors are not dissuaded from coming to the United States.


"International travel to the U.S. supports a million U.S. jobs," said Rick Webster, director of government affairs for the Travel Industry Association of America. "All we`ve asked from the government is a reasonably balanced approach between national security and economic security."


The American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) wants any program to treat all visitors equally instead of singling out a particular ethnic group.


"Using these kind of technologies against all visitors could make us safer and is a step in the right direction, if they`re not intrusive," ACLU legislative counsel Tim Edgar said.

ID Controller, a multi-layered security access unit, developed by Zixsys Inc., an affiliate of Sanyo Semiconductor Co., Ltd. integrates Imagis’ ID-2000 facial recognition software, with fingerprint recognition as a second biometric. ID Controller reads the individual’s identity information that is highly compressed and encrypted on an access card and, then verifies the persons’ identity by matching details of their fingerprint and face against those on the card. ID Controller, and Imagis’ ID-2000 facial recognition technology are being demonstrated at the CardTech/SecurTech exhibition being held in New Orleans this week. ID-2000 and ID Controller will also be shown at the Strategies for Public Safety Transformation: Terrorism and Technology: Prevention, Protection and Pursuit conference in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada on April 29 – 30.

IMAGIS TECHNOLOGIES INC (IGSTF.OB)
Quarterly Report (SEC form 10QSB)
Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
About Imagis

Imagis Technologies Inc. is a developer and marketer of software applications and advanced biometric facial recognition software solutions both as products and as a Software Development Kit. These applications provide a range of security solutions in various industry sectors including airports, law enforcement, customs, immigration and other government agencies, and gaming. The Company currently has over one hundred and forty installations of its software products.

Overview

Revenue for software and services has historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company`s revenue. Typically, the Company enters into a fixed price contract with a customer for the licensing of selected software products and the provision of specific services. The Company generally recognizes total revenue for software and services associated with a contract using percentage of completion method based on the total costs incurred over the total estimated costs to complete the contract.

The Company`s revenue is dependent, in large part, on significant contracts from a limited number of customers. As a result, any substantial delay in the Company`s completion of a contract, the inability of the Company to obtain new contracts or the cancellation of an existing contract by a customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company`s results of operations. The loss of certain contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. As a result of these and other factors, the Company`s results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate from period-to-period.

Recent world events and concerns regarding security have increased awareness of and interest in products that have law enforcement or other security applications. There can be no assurance, however, that such trends will continue or will result in increased sales of the Company`s products and services.

Critical Accounting Polices

On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a cautionary advice regarding the disclosure of critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are both most important to the portrayal of the Company`s financial conditions and results, and that require difficult, subjective, or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that involve uncertainty.

We believe the "critical" accounting policies we use in preparation of our financial statements are as follows:

Revenue recognition

(i) Software sales revenue:

The Company recognizes revenue consistent with Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition". In accordance with this Statement, revenue is recognized, except as noted below, when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a contractual arrangement exists, title has passed, delivery and customer acceptance has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Funds received in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.

When a software product requires significant production, modification or customization, the Company generally accounts for the arrangement using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. Progress to completion is measured by the proportion that activities completed are to the activities required under each arrangement. When the current estimate on a contract indicates a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.






When software is sold under contractual arrangements that includes post contract customer support ("PCS"), the elements are accounted for separately if vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value exists for all undelivered elements. VSOE is identified by reference to renewal arrangements for similar levels of support covering comparable periods. If such evidence does not exist, revenue on the completed arrangement is deferred until the earlier of (a) VSOE being established or (b) all of the undelivered elements are delivered or performed, with the following exceptions: if the only undelivered element is PCS, the entire fee is recognized ratably over the PCS period, and if the only undelivered element is service, the entire fee is recognized as the services are performed.

The Company provides for estimated returns and warranty costs, which to date have been nominal, on recognition of revenue.

(ii) Support and services revenue:

Contract support and services revenue is deferred and is amortized to revenue ratably over the period that the support and services are provided.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported or disclosed in the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with respect to the accounting for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments. The new recommendations require equity instruments awarded to employees and the cost of the service received as consideration to be measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation expense is recorded over the period of related employee service, usually the vesting period of the equity instrument awarded. Alternatively, the new recommendations permit the measurement of compensation expense for stock option grants to employees and directors that are not direct awards of stock, stock appreciation rights or otherwise call for settlement in cash or other assets by an alternative method and to provide pro forma disclosure of the financial results using the fair value method. The Company has elected to follow an alternative method and continue with the former accounting policy of recognizing no compensation expense when stock options are granted to employees because the Company grants stock options with an exercise price based on the market price at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for consultants based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.


Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to March 31, 2002:

Revenues

Imagis` total revenues decreased 74% to $277,508 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 over the comparable prior year level of $1,070,284, and decreased 4% over the fourth quarter 2002 level of $289,774. The lower revenues were attributable to lower software sales revenues.

Revenues from the Company`s software products declined 86% to $135,983 this year as compared to $985,954 for 2002. The quarter ending March 31, 2002 included $620,000 in revenue from the Serco installation during that period and $300,000 from the Company`s Alameda installation. There were no comparable large contracts during the same period this year, these orders were received during 2001 and the revenue was recorded as the installations were completed. The new orders received during 2003 were $70,389 higher than in 2002, a 118% increase.

Support and services revenues for 2003 were $134,019 and were 124% higher than in 2002 of $59,830. The support revenues are increasing as the sales revenues increased during 2002 and the deferred revenue of $279,218 recorded as at March 31, 2003 consists solely of ongoing support contracts, this represents a 264% increase over the 2002 deferred revenue balance of $76,676.

Other revenues were $7,506 for 2003, whereas comparable revenues of $24,500 were earned in the prior year. These revenues were primarily earned through interest revenue and fluctuate with the Company`s cash balances.






Operating Costs

Operating expenses totaled $2,062,609 for 2003, which is 7% lower than the 2002 operating expenses of $2,209,786. The 2003 expenses include a one-time charge of USD$250,000 (CDN$366,950) incurred as a management fee owing to OSI Systems Inc. ("OSI") in consideration of renegotiating the terms of the agreements with OSI. Excluding this charge, the operating expenses for 2003 were $1,695,659, which represents a 23% reduction in expenses over the prior year. The lower costs over the prior period resulted from significant decreases in the areas of administration and technology development and technical services. Management of the Company has implemented significant cost reduction strategies during the final quarter of 2002 and throughout 2003 and the current operating expense rate is equivalent to approximately $3,000,000 per annum, providing an expected expense level of approximately $4,400,000 for fiscal 2003. Management intends to continue to reduce costs wherever possible without impinging upon the Company`s ability to make sales, continue product development, and service customers.

Administration

Administrative costs for 2003 were $951,651, which is 5% lower than for 2002 of $997,178. These costs include the one-time management fee of USD$250,000 (CDN$366,950) described above. Excluding this charge, the administrative costs were $584,701, which represents a 41% reduction from the prior year. Administrative costs include staff salaries and related benefits and travel, stock based compensation, consulting and professional fees, facility and support costs, shareholder, regulatory and investor relations costs.

Generally all categories were lower due to the effects of cost reducing strategies, in particular including a significant reduction in travel costs and the use of outside consultants. Stock based compensation for the period was nil during 2003 as opposed to an expense of $223,781 during 2002. The Company`s administrative costs have declined since the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to no longer using financial advisory services and contract support staff.

Bad debt expense

The bad debt expense in 2003 of $42,074 consists of a single customer that defaulted on payment for a software license. There was no comparable expense during the same period in 2002.

Interest and Amortization

Interest expense incurred this year primarily related to financing of equipment amounted to $6,330, up 76% from the prior year of $3,592. This is due to the acquisition of equipment during 2002. Amortization in 2003 amounted to $66,413 as compared to $31,876 for 2001. The increase in amortization expense reflects purchases of equipment and the amortization expense associated with the acquisition of the Intacta license and patents.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for 2003 were $573,996, and were comparable to those in 2002 of $557,748. Imagis significantly increased its sales and marketing efforts during 2002 in order to increase market awareness of the Company and its products and capitalize on expected increased sales opportunities. The Company has decreased its sales team subsequent to March 31, 2003 as part of its strategy of utilizing a more targeted marketing and sales strategy but no further decreases are currently contemplated. The Company expects that sales and marketing expenses will continue at approximately the same or reduced levels in future periods.

Technology development

The technology development expenses for 2003 were $278,542, which is 25% lower than the 2002 comparable costs of $369,706. Expenses were further reduced subsequent to March 31, 2003 through a reduction in staff and overhead costs. Technology development expenses are expected to remain at this approximate level until such time as market demand for new products necessitates adding resources. This will only occur when specific sales opportunities are identified.

Technical services

Costs for the technical services group were $140,588 this year, which is 41% lower than the comparable 2002 costs of $239,397. The technical services group generally assists the Company`s strategic partners in their installation of Imagis` products and also provides clients with any technical support they may require under annual support






contracts, and includes primarily costs for salaries, facilities and travel. The reduction is primarily due to a reduction in staff costs and travel, these costs were higher in 2002 due to expenses associated with completing the Alameda installation. Costs for future quarters will be dependent on the sales levels achieved by the Company.

Net Loss for the Period

Overall, the Company incurred a net loss for the first quarter of 2003 of $1,785,101or $0.09 per share, which is 57% higher than the net loss incurred during the first quarter of 2002 of $1,139,502 or $0.07 per share. Excluding the one-time charge of USD$250,000 (CDN$366,950) the loss was $1,418,151 or $0.07 per share. The primary cause of the increased loss was the lack of large contracts in progress during 2003, which resulted in a significant reduction in revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company`s cash on hand at the beginning of the period aggregated $547,831. During the period, the Company received additional funds of $265,538 from the exercise of both stock options and warrants. In total, 112,505 options and 133,334 warrants were exercised which resulted in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $98,870 and $166,668, respectively. The Company also received USD$100,000 (CDN$146,780) as at March 31, 2003, as an advance on a future private placement and a loan from a related party of $185,000.

The Company used these funds primarily to finance its operating loss for the period. The impact on cash of the loss of $1,785,101, after adjustment for non-cash items and changes to other working capital accounts in the period, resulted in a negative cash flow from operations of $884,396. The Company also used funds to purchase capital equipment amounting to $5,921, repay capital leases of $4,654, and deferred acquisition costs of $190,338 related to its proposed acquisition of Briyante Software Corp.

In summary, the Company`s cash position declined by $487,991 from $547,831 at the beginning of the period to $59,840 at March 31, 2003.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the company received $185,000 through the issuance of a note payable to a former director of the Company. This note allows the Company to borrow up to $200,000 and bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% and is due on the earlier of May 31, 2003 or upon receipt of funds pursuant to an equity financing. The note is secured by the receivables of the Company. Through March 31, 2003 this note has accrued interest in the amount of $1,115. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the terms of the note payable were modified to increase the total borrowings available from $200,000 to $500,000. The interest rate remains at the prime rate plus 2%. In addition, the note is now secured by a General Security Agreement over the assets of Imagis, and a Source Code Escrow Agreement that requires Imagis to deposit into escrow its source codes together with a license to commercialize the source codes on a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free basis for a period of five years, to be released only in the event that Imagis ceases operations or enters bankruptcy proceedings.

Pursuant to a Letter of Intent dated December 6, 2002 and an Arrangement Agreement dated February 14, 2003 the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Briyante Software Corp. ("Briyante"), a software development Company. Under the terms of this agreement the Company will issue 0.2857 of a common share for each 1 common share of Briyante. The arrangement agreement was approved by the shareholders of Briyante at an annual and special general meeting held on March 17, 2003 and by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 20, 2003. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Company agreed to the postponement, pending amendments to the terms, of the acquisition of Briyante Software Corp. The agreement to amend the terms was brought about by the Company determining that it does not currently have sufficient working capital for the combined entity, as a result of a poor financial environment over the past six months. The revised terms of the acquisition are currently under negotiation. Any amendments will be subject to entering into a definitive amendment agreement, regulatory approval and any required shareholder approval. The Company is committed to completing its acquisition of Briyante and, in the interim, the Company and Briyante will continue to market each other`s products and services.

Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Company has undergone an organizational restructuring and refocusing of its sales, marketing, and development efforts and as a result has temporarily laid off non-core employees from its global operations. The Company has also closed its Victoria, B.C office and consolidated its operations into its Vancouver, B.C. head office, and implemented significant general administrative expense reduction measures, in order to substantially reduce the Company`s monthly operating expenses.






The Company does not have sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its operations beyond June 2003 and will be required to seek additional financing. In recognition of this situation, the Company is currently actively seeking financing. Pursuant to a term sheet dated February 20, 2003, the Company entered into a private placement agreement to obtain financing of up to USD$4.0 million, with an initial sale of up to USD$1.5 million in the form of a special warrant and up to USD$2.5 million in the form of a series of sales of common shares under an effective registration agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This agreement was subject to final documentation, approval of the board of directors of the Company, and regulatory approval. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Company was unable to reach agreement with the placee on the final terms of the private placement and the private placement was cancelled.


There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure any financing or that any financing secured will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to obtain adequate financing could result in a substantial curtailment of Imagis` operations.

@ SoWhat,

ich habe im Web dieses Forum gefunden :

Die sind der Meinung, IGSTF wäre absolut unterbewertet.
Wenn ich mir das 10Q so anschaue kommt mir immer CH11 in
den Sinn.

Was meinst du ?

Hallo Miura,

ich denke mal die letzten verlassen das sinkende Schiff. Man schaue sich nur mal an, wer alles aus dem Board ausgetreten ist, sogar der Gründer. Das sagt doch alles. Die US-Behörden werden denen (Kanadier) keine Aufträge geben.

Imagis ist m.M. nur noch was zum traden.

Good luck

Security data project to combat terrorism
By Sarah Arnott

The government is developing an IT project to pull together intelligence data from security agencies to help counter terrorism, Computing can reveal.

The multimillion pound Scope programme is being run by the Cabinet Office Intelligence and Security Secretariat.

The top-secret project will develop mechanisms for sharing information between nine government departments and agencies, including MI5 and MI6.

Potential technology suppliers were given the first briefing earlier this month.

The government asked interested companies to respond to a questionnaire, but only after signing a secrecy agreement.

The next stage of the process will be in June when the deadline for returning questionnaires expires.

All suppliers that go any further will have to apply for security clearance.

Normally, public sector contracts of any significant value must be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Community (Ojec).

But Scope is considered too sensitive, so the process will not be publicly advertised.

The Scope programme is one of a series of technology projects developed to address the increased terrorist threat since the 11 September attacks in the US.

The government`s response has emphasised the need to guarantee identity, especially through the use of more fraud-proof biometric data such as iris scans or fingerprints.

Initiatives include entitlement cards, systems to identify asylum seekers, and improved information sharing.

Home Secretary David Blunkett last week announced plans to introduce legislation in the autumn that will require all adults to register on a national database as part of Home Office plans to keep track of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.

And the Passport Agency business plan published last month included proposals to introduce biometric information on passports from 2004.

The Cabinet Office spokeswoman told Computing it would not comment on security and intelligence matters.
