AIXD Access Integrated Technologies (MM)

Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT") (NASDAQ:AIXD), today announced that it would pay quarterly interest, due September 30, on its $55 million Senior Notes in cash rather than to exercise its option to pay interest using its shares of common stock. �Despite uncertainties in the capital markets, we continue to believe in the future of our company and our ability to navigate through these choppy waters to continue our progress. With that mindset, giving up equity at this time makes no sense,� said Bud Mayo, chairman and chief executive officer of AccessIT. �Although progress on certain initiatives has been slowed by the condition of the credit markets, most of the company�s plans continue to move forward. We remain optimistic that we can begin Phase 2 shortly, and that the capital markets will return to stable levels again.� Access Integrated Technologies, Inc.
