OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE Corniche Group Incorporated (the "Company") has obtained a favorable result in pending litigation. As discussed in the Company's prior SEC filings, StrandTek International, Inc. had defaulted on the payment of $1,250,000 plus accrued interest due to the Company on July 31, 2002. The Company ceased accruing interest as of July 31, 2002 for financial statement purposes. As a result, on August 6, 2002, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey entitled Corniche Group Incorporated v StrandTek International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, StrandTek International, Inc., a Florida corporation, David M. Veltman, William G. Buckles Jr., Jerome Bauman and Jan Arnett. The complaint seeks recovery of the $1,250,000 loan, plus interest, costs and fees, and seeks recovery against the individual defendants pursuant to their partial guarantees. On February 28, 2003, the Court issued a ruling granting the Company partial summary judgment with respect to the principal aspects of its complaint. The Court rejected the defenses and agreed with the Company that it was entitled to judgment against Strandtek and the guarantors. The Company will next seek to have final judgment entered for the exact amounts due from each defendant. This process is expected to take approximately 30 days. No assurances can be given that StrandTek and/or the individual guarantors will not attempt to appeal the Court's grant of summary judgment, or that the Company will be able to collect on any judgment. * * * * * This Report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
