Press Release



9 July 2007


             Immersion Technologies International plc ('Immersion')


                                Board Changes


Immersion Technologies International plc, which specialises in the design,
manufacture and supply of high definition acoustic 'HD-ATM' technology,
announces the retirement from the Board of Christopher Lambert, the Company's
Non-Executive Chairman, with immediate effect.


Mr Lambert had always intended to retire from the Board, following the reverse
takeover of St. James' Energy by Immersion.  The Board is grateful for Mr
Lambert's stewardship of the Company during this transaction and wishes him well
for the future.  The Board is now actively seeking a UK-based replacement for Mr
Lambert.


Until such a replacement is found, the role of Non-Executive Chairman will be
assumed by Greg Turnidge, an existing Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr
Turnidge is a highly experienced businessman, having worked in a variety of
roles in industry and finance for over thirty years.  Mr Turnidge has a
comprehensive understanding of the consumer electronics industry, having been
Chief Executive of Whise Accoustics, prior to its acquisition by Immersion in
2006.  Whise Accoustics was responsible for developing several of the
technologies that provide Immersion with a distinctive competitive edge in the
flat speaker market. Mr Turnidge is currently Managing Director of Melbourne
Venture Partners Pty Ltd, an Australian boutique venture capital firm.


Craig Evans, Chief Executive of Immersion, commented:


'I would like to thank Christopher Lambert for all his help and support during
the St James' transaction.  The process of securing a listing for Immersion
would have been considerably harder without his involvement.


'In Greg Turnidge, we have a seasoned professional who will, I am sure, provide
us with valuable advice and input as we expand our product range and marketing
initiatives.'


               Re-registration of subsidiary and its share issue


On 29 June 2007 Immersion's subsidiary, Immersion Technology International plc,
became a private company.  On 1 July 2007, 1,731,645 shares in the subsidiary,
Immersion Technology International Limited (representing 0.97 per cent. of the
subsidiary's issued share capital), were issued to two shareholders who, as
described in the Company's Admission Document, did not waive their rights under
the Whise Acoustics Share Purchase Agreement.

Background Information on Immersion


Immersion is an audio technology company with patented and patent pending
technologies relating to both its high performance electrostatic loudspeakers ('
'ESL'') and award-winning conventional cone loudspeakers (''CCL'').


The Immersion Technology has been researched and developed for over 10 years and
has been designed with the intention to provide the highest possible audio
reproduction characteristics and set a new standard to benchmark these
characteristics.  Immersion has achieved what the Immersion Directors consider
to be a new level of high definition acoustics and has made an application to
register the trade marks, HD-A(TM) or High Definition - Acoustics(TM), to
reflect this standard internationally.


The Immersion Technology reduces audio distortion to extremely low levels thus
enhancing clarity without compromising volume in both ESL and CCL loudspeakers.


Immersion has the ability to manufacture ESL devices in thin, small
aesthetically pleasing designs.  In addition, the technology is proven to be
scalable and can be incorporated into speakers of almost any size or shape. The
Immersion Directors believe that these factors will provide a significant
marketing advantage in the competitive market for audio reproduction devices.
