Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2007 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results

- Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Increase Continues, Driven by New and Existing Product and Service Offerings -

MORRISTOWN, N.J., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AIXD) reported a 181% increase in revenues, to a record $47,110,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which included $3,982,000 for certain components of its Data Centers segment which the Company does not expect to continue. For the full fiscal year, the Company posted an Adjusted EBITDA(1) (defined below) of $5,993,000 (which included a negative $1,206,000 from the Data Center business described above), and a net loss of $26,204,000 or $1.10 per basic and diluted share. The Company's full year net loss includes non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and software development, non- cash interest, stock based compensation and loss on disposition of assets aggregating $25,901,000 or $1.09 per basic and diluted share.

For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company reported a 285% increase in revenues to a record of $17,345,000, which included $1,330,000 for certain components of its Data Centers segment which the Company does not expect to continue. For the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company posted an Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $3,386,000 (which included a negative $390,000 from the Data Center business described above) and a net loss of $11,267,000 or $0.47 per basic and diluted share. The net loss for the quarter includes non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and software development, non-cash interest, stock based compensation and loss on disposition of assets totaling $11,455,000 or $0.47 per basic and diluted share.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year Highlights
- The full year and fourth quarter increase in revenues was driven largely
by revenues of UniqueScreen Media ("USM"), virtual print fee revenues of
Christie/AIX, license fees earned by the Company's Digital Media
Services division for its Theatre Command Center software and digital
distribution fees earned by The Bigger Picture. USM was acquired in
fiscal 2007's second quarter and The Bigger Picture was acquired in
fiscal 2007's fourth quarter.
- The increase in Adjusted EBITDA(1) was primarily due to the increased
revenues as described above, partially offset by increased operating and
SG&A expenses resulting from the acquisition of USM and the advancement
of the Company's continued digital cinema deployment.
- Loss from operations in the March 2007 quarter increased to $7,134,000,
from a loss of $2,741,000 in the year ago period. Loss from operations
for the fiscal year ended March 2007 increased to $18,005,000 from a
loss of $9,129,000 reported in the year ago period. The increased loss
was due primarily to higher depreciation resulting from an increased
asset base from the purchase of digital cinema projections systems,
additional amortization of intangible assets resulting from the
Company's Fiscal 2007 acquisitions, a $2,561,000 charge associated with
the disposition of Data Center assets, and non-cash stock-based
compensation. Non-cash charges included in Loss from Operations for the
year aggregated $23,998,000.
- Gross margin (revenue less direct operating expenses) increased from 54%
in the third quarter to 60% in the fourth quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins rose from 13% in the third quarter to 20% in
the fourth quarter.
- As of March 31, 2007, the Company had installed 2,275 digital cinema
systems and 2,646 as of May 31, 2007 and intends to complete all 4,000
digital cinema systems installations by October 31, 2007.

Bud Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of AccessIT, stated, "Fiscal 2007 was a year of transition for AccessIT from a development company to a results-driven operating company. We have established both that our business plan is working successfully, and that AccessIT is the leader in providing solutions for Digital Cinema. With the strategic acquisitions of Unique Screen Media and The Bigger Picture behind us, we are poised to continue our internal growth."
