                    Interim Management Statement



BATM Advanced Communications Limited ('BATM' or 'the Company') (LSE: BVC),a
leading designer and producer of Carrier Ethernet and metropolitan telecom
systems, is today issuing its first Interim Management Statement, which covers
the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 March 2008.

Current trading update

Performance in the first two months of 2008 was much stronger than in the same
period in 2007. Revenues have grown by 69% over the same period last year and
this trend has continued into March. We experienced growth in our OEM business
as well as other channels, including increased revenue on sales to existing
customers. Both gross and operating margins in the first 2 months of the year
have been slightly better than those achieved during the same period last year.

Financial position

There has been no significant change in our financial position during the first
two months of 2008. Our balance sheet remains very strong and we ended February
with effective cash balances of $64.6m. Cash and deposits up to three months
duration are $46.7 million, short term investment up to one year are $7.4
million and long-term investments of more than one year are $10.5 million.

Acquisition of broadband multiplexer product line

We are pleased to announce that Telco Systems, our US wholly owned subsidiary,
has acquired the broadband multiplexer product line from Charles Industries. The
acquisition will enable us to offer a complete range of solutions for cellular
backhaul. The assets included in the transaction will extend our EdgeLink
solution set to include features and technologies such as Ethernet over PDH not
currently offered in our product family. This transaction does not affect our
trading or financial position for the reported period.

Outlook

We are pleased with the company's performance during the first 3 months of 2008.
Despite the general market conditions the positive momentum in the company's
business is continuing. This underscores our confidence that we will continue to
grow and strengthen our business for the rest of the year and we remain
cautiously optimistic of our prospects for the year as a whole.
