       Recommended all share offer for All New Video Plc ("ANV") made by       

                   John East & Partners on behalf of iPoint                    

                      Offer unconditional in all respects                      

The iPoint Board announces that, subject to Admission, the recommended all
share offer for ANV made by John East & Partners on behalf of iPoint has today
been declared wholly unconditional.

As at 1.00 p.m. on 7 February 2007, valid acceptances of the Offer had been
received in respect of a total of 76,416,811 ANV Shares representing, in
aggregate, approximately 88.43 per cent. of ANV's total issued share capital,
all of which iPoint may count towards the satisfaction of its acceptance
condition.

Application for the admission of the New iPoint Shares to be issued to ANV
Shareholders who validly accepted the Offer by 1.00 p.m. on 7 February 2007 to
trading on AIM will be made to the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that
admission of the New iPoint Shares so allotted to trading on AIM will become
effective and that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or before 16 February
2007.

Prior to the posting of the Offer Document, iPoint had received irrevocable
undertakings from the ANV Directors in respect of their own ANV Shares and
certain other ANV Shareholders to accept the Offer in respect of, in aggregate,
57,057,143 ANV Shares representing approximately 66.03 per cent. of the
existing issued ANV Shares. iPoint has received valid acceptances with respect
to all of these irrevocable undertakings.

As described in the Offer Document, subject to the AIM Rules, iPoint intends to
procure the making of an application by ANV to the London Stock Exchange for
the cancellation of the admission to trading of ANV Shares on AIM. It is
anticipated that cancellation of admission to trading will take effect on or
about 12 March 2007. The cancellation of admission to trading on AIM of ANV
Shares will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any ANV
Shares not assented to the Offer and their value may be affected in
consequence.

ANV Shareholders who have not yet validly accepted the Offer are urged to do so
as soon as possible.

Settlement of consideration

Settlement of the consideration to which ANV Shareholders are entitled pursuant
to the Offer shall be dispatched (or, in the case of ANV Shareholders holding
their ANV Shares held in uncertificated form, shall be credited through CREST):
(i) in the case of ANV Shareholders who validly accepted the Offer by 1.00 pm
on 7 February 2007, on or before 21 February 2007 (other than ANV Shareholders
who validly accepted through CREST who are expected to be credited with iPoint
Shares on or before 16 February 2007); and (ii) in the case of ANV Shareholders
who validly accept after 1.00 pm on 7 February 2007, within 14 days of the
receipt of such acceptances.

The Offer remains open for acceptance until further notice.

As described in the Offer Document, if iPoint receives acceptances under the
Offer in respect of 90 per cent. or more of the ANV Shares to which the Offer
relates, iPoint will as soon as practicable give notice to those ANV
Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer informing them that it will seek
to compulsorily acquire their ANV Shares by applying sections 428 to 430F of
the Companies Act 1985.

Terms defined in the Offer Document dated 17 January 2007 have the same meaning
in this announcement.

Note:

Save as disclosed above, no ANV Shares have been acquired or agreed to be
acquired by or on behalf of iPoint or any person acting in concert with iPoint
during the Offer Period and neither iPoint nor any person acting in concert
with iPoint has the benefit of any irrevocable commitment or letter of intent
in respect of any ANV Shares or has any interest in any ANV Shares, or any
short position (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or
otherwise and including any short position under a derivative), any agreement
to sell, any delivery obligation, any right to require another person to
purchase or take delivery, any stock borrowing or lending arrangement in
respect of any ANV Shares, or any right to subscribe for any ANV Shares.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of
"relevant securities" of iPoint or of ANV, all "dealings" in any "relevant
securities" of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or
a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30pm (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue
until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to
acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period"
otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in
"relevant securities" of iPoint or of ANV, they will be deemed to be a single
person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of iPoint or of ANV or any of their respective "associates", must
be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business
day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities
in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having such an
"interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of
any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotations marks in this section are defined in the Code, which can
also be found on the Panel's websites. If you are in any doubt as to whether or
not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult
the Panel.
