Attention Shareholders Of Impath, Inc. Securities Notice Of Court Proceedings

In September 2005, the former President of Impath, Inc., Richard P. Adelson, was indicted on securities fraud and related charges in connection with a scheme to manipulate Impath's publicly reported earnings and other financial results and artificially inflate the market price of Impath's common stock from approximately 2000 until May 2003. Adelson has pled not guilty and his trial is scheduled to commence in United States v. Adelson, S2 05 Cr. 325 (JSR) on January 30, 2006. The charges against Adelson are merely accusations and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Additionally, in September 2005, a superseding Information was filed against Impath's former CEO, Anuradha D. Saad charging two felony counts of soliciting proxies and false proxy statements and one felony count of knowingly failing to implement a system of accounting controls. Saad pled guilty to those charges and is scheduled to be sentenced on January 17, 2006, at 4:00 p.m. in Courtroom 14B, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007.

In addition, in March 2005, four other former Impath employees pled guilty to various securities fraud-related counts related to the above-described scheme.
