Access Integrated Technologies Completes Acquisition of the Bigger Picture

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT") (NASDAQ:AIXD) today announced that it has completed its previously announced planned acquisition of The Bigger Picture, a subsidiary of privately held Sabella Dern Entertainment.

AccessIT previously had an exclusive agreement with The Bigger Picture to make its entertainment programming available to all exhibitors across the country equipped with 2K digital projectors, including more than 1,600 deployed to date by the Company's Christie/AIX business unit. The programs include Kidtoon Films providing G-rated movies for kids on the weekends, anime films for teen and college audiences and inspirational films from Fox Faith, a unit of Twentieth Century Fox Studios. Together the companies will expand the breadth of content The Bigger Picture is providing to include, at a minimum, other programs of genre films as well as an array of compelling non- traditional entertainment programs.

"We're excited that we were able to move quickly to close this acquisition and to begin further integrating the company's management team and extraordinary offerings into our plans for the future. Digital cinema is not as much about the technology as it is about what the technology provides, and that is choice for the exhibitor and its audiences. With the addition of The Bigger Picture as a division, we're proud to be at the forefront of offering that choice," said Bud Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of AccessIT.
