                      AGM Statement

At   the   Annual   General  Meeting  of  BATM   Advanced
Communications Limited held earlier today all resolutions
were duly passed.  The Chairman, Peter Sheldon, also made
the following statement:-

'As shareholders will appreciate, we are holding this AGM
on  a date very close to the end of the first half of our
fiscal  year which we will be reporting on in due course.
It  is  not  therefore appropriate for me  to  anticipate
these results, other than to confirm that current trading
accords  with  our expectations and that I  am  confident
that  I  will be reporting further good progress  at  the
interim  stage.  The various partnerships  that  we  have
announced over the last few months are also proceeding in
line with our expectations.

Shareholders  will be particularly pleased to  hear  that
the  integration of Telco Systems, which we  acquired  in
March  this  year, is going well and that  the  Board  is
confident that Telco will make a significant contribution
to  your  company.  Telco is also greatly  assisting  our
push  of new BATM products into North America and we  are
very encouraged by the rate of progress achieved so far.

I  am  also pleased to report that holding and settlement
in  our  shares through BATM Depository Instruments  were
admitted to the CREST system earlier this month.  As  you
will know, we have today approved a 10 for 1 share split,
which we believe, will widen the appeal of our shares  to
private  investors.  The record date for the share  split
will  be Friday, 30 June and it is expected that the  new
ordinary  shares  of  nominal  value  of  NIS  0.01  will
commence trading on Monday, 3 July 2000.
