                          ("Eurodis" or the "Company")

                Commercial Co-operation between Eurodis and ATeG

Eurodis Electron PLC, Europe's third largest pan-European electronic component
distributor, and the Advanced Technology Group (ATeG), an alliance of Europe's
leading independent design distributors, announced today that they have signed
heads of agreement to co-operate in the European market.

Once the agreement is implemented, the ATeG companies will act as sales agents
for Eurodis, and will approach their key customers with a much expanded line
card. Similarly, Eurodis will act as sales agents for ATeG, and will introduce
ATeG's range to its customers. In each case, the sales agent will be remunerated
by way of commission on completed sales which it achieves for the other party.
This co-operation will effectively increase Eurodis' sales team by about 20%
without any material increase in fixed costs.

The intention is that, in future, key customers of Eurodis and ATeG in Germany,
Switzerland, UK and Spain will have one account manager through whom they will
be able to access the combined line cards, value added services and logistic
solutions of both organisations.

Eurodis has sales coverage in 19 European countries and ATeG strengthens that
coverage as well as bringing its range of franchised products to Germany,
Switzerland, Austria, UK, and Spain.

Eurodis and ATeG anticipate that the co-operation will enable both companies to
increase sales and net earnings by leveraging existing customer and supplier
relationships. Customers will benefit from being able to fulfil more of their
requirements through one sales contact, and suppliers will benefit from
increased sales out of existing franchised distribution channels.
