MORRISTOWN, N.J., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT") (AMEX:AIX) today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with institutional investors relating to a private financing of $7.6 million in the form of 4-year Convertible Debentures bearing interest at the rate of 7 percent per year. The Debentures will convert into shares of AccessIT's Class A common stock at the price of $4.07 subject to possible adjustments from time to time.

"With the completion of this financing, AccessIT will be able to take a historic step forward by purchasing the Pavilion Theater complex. The Pavilion is a unique theater and a valuable asset.
