Dicom Seeks Removal of "E" Appended to its Trading Symbol.

Business Editors

WHITE ROCK, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2001

Dicom Imaging Systems, Inc. ("Dicom" or the "Company") announced today that its trading symbol, "DCIM", will continue to be appended with an "E" until Dicom is current in its public reporting obligations. Dicom expects to be current in its reporting obligations by June 7, 2001.

On April 24, 2001, Dicom's trading symbol, "DCIM", was appended with an "E" because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis. On May 17, 2001, Dicom filed its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

On May 17, 2001, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTC BB"), the market on which Dicom's common stock is traded, informed the Company that an "E" would continue to be appended to Dicom's trading symbol until Dicom files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2001. Dicom's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB was due to be filed on May 15, 2001. Upon filing with the SEC, Dicom intends to supply the OTC BB with information indicating that it is current in its public reporting obligations. The time required to remove the "E" from Dicom's trading symbol may vary, but will be no earlier than the next trading day after Dicom files it's Form 10-QSB with the SEC.

David Gane, Dicom's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We emphasize that we are committed to bringing Dicom current in its reporting obligations. Regrettably, we experienced some delays in preparing our 10-KSB which also delayed the filing of our 10-QSB. We filed our Annual Report on 10-KSB on May 17, 2001, and we expect to get the Quarterly Report on 10-QSB filed by June 7, 2001. Once the 10-QSB is filed, all of our financial information will be current, and we expect to meet our ongoing public company reporting obligations in a timely manner."

The "E" appended to Dicom's trading symbol means that, upon the expiration of a 30-day grace period ending on or around June 15, 2001, its common stock could be suspended from trading on, and subject to removal from, the OTC BB unless Dicom supplies the NASD, the parent company to the OTC BB, with (i) information indicating that Dicom is current in its public reporting obligations pursuant to NASD Rule 6530 and (ii) the NASD is satisfied that Dicom has met such obligations.
