HUIZHOU, China, June 29 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- NIVS IntelliMedia
Technology Group, Inc., (NYSE Amex: NIV) ("NIVS" or "the Company"), an
integrated consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures, markets
and sells intelligent audio and video products, today announced the Company is
being added to the Russell 3000(R) Index after the equity markets close on
June 29th as Russell Investments reconstitutes its comprehensive family of
global indexes.
    Membership in Russell's 21 U.S. equity indexes is determined strictly by
market capitalization rankings and style attributes rather than by subjective
opinion or committee decisions.  Russell indexes are widely used by managers
for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment
strategies.  Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of
member stocks according to that company's weighting in the particular index.
    Mr. Tianfu Li, Chairman and CEO of NIVS, stated, "Joining the Russell
3000(R) Index is a great moment in our company's history.  Our addition is a
reflection of the rapid progress we have made since we listed our shares on
the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange in March earlier this year.  We believe that our
inclusion in this index will help increase our visibility among investors and
contribute to our efforts to increase shareholder value."
