Acquisition of ITM assets by Interregnum subsidiary Audio Visual Machines
Interregnum plc ('Interregnum'), the technology merchant bank, announces the
acquisition of certain assets of ITM Group Ltd ('ITM') (in Administration) by
its subsidiary Audio Visual Machines Ltd ('AVM'). These assets comprise the
order book and debtors balance, and key members of staff, including the former
managing director of the audio visual division. This acquisition is expected to
increase AVM's revenues by approximately £2 million over the next 12 months.

to create a major player focused on the supply, programming, and servicing of
complex, IP-based, audio visual solutions to major corporations. AVM's clients
include BP, GSK, Lloyds Bank and Sainsbury's.
Commenting, Ken Olisa, Chairman & CEO said: 'As we enter the Age of Ubiquitous
Computing, Interregnum sees a convergence of audio visual services and
Information Technology. We are investing in companies that together can deliver
the opportunities this convergence offers.'
