Smith Barney Not Connected With CMKM Diamonds
April 8, 2005 - It has come to our attention that various website chat room postings have suggested a relationship between Citigroup and/or Smith Barney and CMKM Diamonds (Symbol: CMKX) and CMKXtreme Racing. Please be advised that there is no relationship or connection whatsoever between Citigroup or Smith Barney and CMKM Diamonds or CMKXtreme Racing, and any statements to the contrary are false.

It has come to the attention of Citigroup/Smith Barney that your website contains photographs--specifically in the section reflecting photos from the "Phoenix Race"--depicting a "Citigroup/Smith Barney" logo on a CMKX racecar, with a legend identifying the individuals in the photo as a "Citigroup Rep and UC".
Please be advised that any reference to Citigroup and/or Smith Barney in connection with CMKX, in any capacity, was, and is, unauthorized. "Citigroup" "Smith Barney" and the "Citigroup Umbrella Logo" are registered trademarks owned by Citigroup Inc., and those marks were used without the permission or approval of Citigroup. The person identified in the photographs as a "Citigroup Rep" was not, and is not, authorized to represent Citigroup in connection with use of Citigroup's registered marks. Citigroup has never sponsored, does not sponsor, and has no intention of sponsoring CMKX or CMKXtreme Racing.
This morning, Citigroup issued the following Announcement, which can be found on the website "smithbarney.com":
"April 8th, 2005 - Smith Barney Not Connected with CMKM Diamonds:

Citigroup hereby demands that CMKXpics.com cause those photographs referencing Citigroup and/or Smith Barney and/or any of its affiliates, agents or employees to be immediately removed from its website. In addition, Citigroup demands that CMKXpics.com cease and desist from making any statement which states or implies that there is any relationship or connection between CMKM Diamonds and/or CMKXtreme Racing or any of their affiliates, agents, employees, officers or directors and Citigroup, Smith Barney or any of their affiliates, agents, or employees.
In the event that CMKXpics.com does not immediately comply with this demand, Citigroup will take all necessary and appropriate legal action to ensure that these demands are met. Please feel free to call, or e-mail, me if you have any questions.

The bottom line is there has NEVER been any connection to Citigroup/SB by either CMKM Diamonds, Inc. or CMKXtreme, Inc.
Here is a link to an article and a sentence in that article. Along with the picture of the race car it was enough for people to start another total nonsense rumor which got blown up into something it wasn't.
www.cmkxtreme.com/news.asp?ID=60&view=fulltext
"The Jim Dunn Racing team was proud to announce in Phoenix that Smith Barney Citigroup has come aboard as an associate sponsor for the event."
Therefore, there is no need for CMKX to respond officially as there was/is nothing officially there in the first place.
In case you are not aware, www.cmkxpics.net is a site owned and maintained by Jason Webb and he has no affilation with CMKM Diamonds, Inc. I have no idea if he has an contractual arrangements with CMKXtrem, Inc., but it should be kept in mind that CMKXtreme, Inc. is a private company and if Mr. Webb did there is no requirement of public disclosure.
If only shareholders would do as I and the company advise and rely only on official CMKX PR's and Filings via Business Wire, they would save themselves no end of stress and disappointment when none of the rumors come true. My job is to clarify the PR's and Filings after they become public so I do encourage any shareholder who is unsure or has a question to contact me, preferably by phone during market hours.
Hope this helps. Have a great weekend and please remain patient.
