Title: Press Release
April 21st 1995

PRESS STATEMENT
---------------

Commodore/Amiga UK Management Buyout


During the last few days leading up to the bidding process it
became clear that ESCOM and their associates or DELL COMPUTERS
would have the financial muscle to overbid our independently
financed offer.

In the circumstances the UK Management Team took the decision to
withdraw early and work with the winning bidder.

In this way our ability to achieve our original objective of
re-establishing the Amiga in a prominent position in the marketplace
would be maximised.



ENDS

[I'd just like to take this time to point out...by the corporate structure
of Commodore, Commodore UK will become a WHOLLY OWNED subsidiary of Escom.
Their room to maneuver in that capacity could be rather limited. -Jason]
