ISIS GROUP ACQUIRES GRAHAM-PATTEN SYSTEMS FROM
KLOTZ DIGITAL AMERICA

ISIS Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of Graham-Patten Systems from Klotz Digital America. The two companies recently signed an agreement to allow the acquisition to proceed. ISIS Group, a manufacturer of professional video and audio equipment, will assume all assets and the current employees of Graham-Patten Systems. Graham-Patten is an Emmy award-winning manufacturer of audio equipment for the post-production and television industries.

Graham-Patten Systems will be co-located with ISIS Group in Grass Valley California. This newly formed division of ISIS Group will continue to produce its existing high quality range of products, and there will be a strong emphasis on the development of Graham-Patten Systems' next generation of audio mixing, conversion and distribution products targeted to meet current and future market needs.

According to Tom Vick, General Manager of Graham-Patten, " We respect the fact that GPS has a loyal customer base and world-wide distribution network. That loyalty is of great value and we have already received enthusiastic support for this change in our status. For us, at GPS, this is the best news that we could have anticipated. ISIS is such a natural fit and we are all committed to providing our customers and distributors with the best possible service."

Steve Block, the ISIS CEO, commented, " This is a great merger for both companies. It will add strength to both since we are in the same industry doing what we know best. A more fundamental reason for this acquisition is that our personal and business values mesh so well. We are particularly pleased that we have been able to save the GPS employees' jobs. Our goal now is to return GPS to being a great supplier of audio equipment to the broadcast industry."
