:CISI (company) CISI - A French software producer. ) announces that, effective immediately, the Company has terminated the previously-announced consulting agreement with Michael J. Skopos. This decision was made following the receipt of previously-undisclosed information regarding Mr. Skopos' prior involvement with Sky Scientific, Inc.

CIS.com would like to thank those shareholders and other concerned parties who brought this matter to the Company's attention.

Although CIS.com conducted a pre-employment screening, neither Mr. Skopos nor any of his references disclosed the Securities & Exchange Commission's ("SEC") investigation or the serious nature of the SEC's findings regarding Sky Scientific, Inc., with whom Mr. Skopos was employed as Chief Geologist and Project Manager between March 1992 and November 1994 (for the complete text of the SEC decision regarding Sky Scientific, Inc., please see: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/aljdec/id137rgm.htm).

Said Allen Smith, CIS.com's President, "subsequent to yesterday morning's announcement regarding Mr. Skopos, we received information from a number of sources regarding an SEC investigation of Sky Scientific, Inc. and Mr. Skopos' role with that company which had not previously been disclosed to us. CISI is very close to completing the Sovereign Resources acquisition, and the assets owned by Sovereign are too substantial for there to be any doubts whatsoever regarding any member of our team."

In closing, Allen Smith stated that, "Quite honestly, we made a mistake. However, as President, I am committed to building an entirely new company, and hope that the Board's immediate response to this matter will assure investors that all CISI officers, directors and consultants must have spotless spot·less
