THE WALT DISNEY  STUDIOS'  DISTRIBUTION  ARM BUENA VISTA  PICTURES  DISTRIBUTION
COMMITS CONTENT TO CHRISTIE/AIX  DEPLOYMENT OF DCI-COMPLIANT  DIGITAL PROJECTION
SYSTEMS

September 15, 2005

BURBANK,  Calif.  -- The Walt  Disney  Studios'  distribution  arm  Buena  Vista
Pictures   Distribution   (BVPD)  and  Access  Integrated   Technologies,   Inc.
("AccessIT")  (AMEX:  AIX)  Christie/AIX unit have entered into a groundbreaking
non-exclusive  agreement to supply  feature films from Walt Disney  Pictures and
Touchstone  Pictures to DCI-compliant  digital projection systems to be deployed
by  Christie/AIX.  Christie/AIX  will install  between  2,500 and 4,000  systems
throughout the United States and Canada over the next two years.

Just over one month ago, Digital Cinema Initiatives,  LLC (DCI), a joint venture
of Disney and other major studios,  issued the final technical specification for
theatrical digital equipment.  Christie/AIX's  installation plan marks the first
mass deployment  following the DCI specification's  release. The benefits of DCI
compliance should be apparent to consumers as the systems initially  deployed by
Christie/AIX  will include  DCI-compliant  compression,  the state of the art in
moving image projection which delivers the  highest-quality  DLP Cinema(R) image
to the movie screen. All systems will be upgraded to full DCI compliance as soon
as the hardware iS available.

Disney is the first major  studio to sign an  agreement  to provide  content for
Christie/AIX digital systems. Recently, in an unprecedented move, Disney led the
film industry by introducing  Disney Digital  3D(TM),  using Christie DLP Cinema
projectors  and Dolby servers.  Audiences can enjoy this true  three-dimensional
digital  experience  in movie  theaters  on  November  4, 2005,  with the highly
anticipated release of the Walt Disney animated film Chicken Little.

AccessIT's Christie/AIX unit serves as the funding vehicle and administrator for
the company's  4,000-screen  digital  cinema  rollout plan expanded from the one
originally  announced in June 2005. Under the plan,  Christie/AIX  will act as a
financing  intermediary  between  content  owners - including  major studios and
independent distributors - and exhibitors who will utilize DCI-compliant digital
cinema systems  including 2K projectors and related  hardware and software.  The
raising of capital for funding of the initial 200 systems was  completed on July
21, 2005.

"We are thrilled that we have come to an agreement with  Christie/AIX  to supply
content to their  digital  projection  systems,  and we will continue to support
other  deployment  plans in order to ensure the future success of the exhibition
industry,"  said Chuck Viane,  president,  BVPD.  "DCI-compliant  digital cinema
rollouts will allow  consumers to enjoy the highest  quality  cinema  experience
available while providing clear benefits to exhibition partners.  We couldn't be
more pleased with the  top-of-the-line  performance  of Christie  projectors and
look  forward to seeing  our films  presented  in the  highest  digital  viewing
quality available."

"We  appreciate  the  importance  of this  signing as a major step  forward  for
AccessIT and the  industry,"  commented Bud Mayo,  chairman and chief  executive
officer of AccessIT.  "Disney has always been extremely  forward-thinking in the
digital cinema space,  and in supporting  this venture in particular.  We expect

this to be the first of several  signings  with studios in the next month or so,
accompanied by agreements with exhibitors.  The contribution of Christie to this
and other contemplated signings cannot be overstated. As we expand the number of
stakeholders  in this  groundbreaking  venture,  AccessIT  is  proud to be a key
member on such an impressive  team.  We fully expect the  deployment to begin in
October with at least 150 screens in time for Christmas."

Jack Kline, president and COO, Christie,  noted, "Exhibitors were one of our top
priorities when we crafted the agreement.  We wanted to ensure that  maintenance
costs remained similar to that of film projection while providing higher quality
images.  Disney,  an  innovator  and leader in the art of  entertainment,  is an
important  part  of  the  equation.   By  marrying  their  leadership  with  our
understanding  of the  unique  needs  of the  exhibition  community,  moviegoers
everywhere will be the big winners,  enjoying the spectacular  visual experience
of digital cinema  technology  that is unmatched by anything they have ever seen
before."

Chuck Goldwater,  president and COO of Christie/AIX  added, "The Disney contract
is the first of several announcements concerning our rollout plan that we expect
to make in the  weeks  ahead.  It  re-affirms  our  confidence  that the plan is
viable, practical and workable for all industry participants.  We are encouraged
and grateful for the growing support from the studios and from exhibitors, which
will enable AccessIT to continue to help drive the industry's  transition to the
digital future."
