Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. Second Quarter Revenues up 23% Vancouver B.C. – April 17, 2006 – Destiny Media Technologies (DSNY OTC BB, DME 935 410 Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that Q2 financials have been filed. Quarter over quarter revenues increased 23% from $182,017 to $224,745. Revenues are expected to continue to increase into Q3, reflecting strong growth in new Clipstream™ licenses and increasing usage by recurring accounts. The loss for the quarter included extraordinary non-recurring expenses. The company anticipates Q3 will show a profit. New product R&D continues to be a strong focus. Products launched in Q2 include: • Clipstream™ Audiomail server (http://www.audio-mail.com) R&D expenditures will increase approximately 50% in Q3 as the company plans to invest heavily in new development. Some of the projects expected to launch in Q3 include: • A major upgrade of Clipstream™ featuring a significant
improvement in media quality. One vertical that will continue to exhibit strong growth is online video surveys for market research companies. Clipstream™ is the only streaming solution that can be secured to a host website, preventing the content from being copied. Even “screen scraping” programs are unable to copy Clipstream™ content. In addition, nearly every user is able to access Clipstream™ powered video content as no player software is required. This combination has made Clipstream™ the preferred solution for this market niche. An extremely high percentage of respondents complete online surveys featuring Clipstream™ video clips, providing a compelling return on investment. Another vertical that has been quite strong is Clipstream™ Live. A live stream can be initiated in near real time from a standard PC. The signal from a remote event can be replicated through our repeater network to thousands of users that access through a standard web page interface. Users don’t have to download software to view the live signal.
Despite these impressive numbers, revenues for MPE™ have been modest and will continue to be modest (estimated 15% of revenues) in Q3. A number of labels are now contracted to use the MPE™ system to send music to radio stations and are paying monthly fees, but most labels are sending a CD version to radio along with the digital version. The fees to the labels will increase as they are able to enjoy the savings associated with sending pre-releases by digital only. The savings to the labels will be significant as we are able to assist them in weaning radio off of physical CD’s. We expect that much of the industry will be “digital only” by the end of the year. When the full transactional pricing model is in place, we expect that MPE™ will become a large business for the company. About Destiny Media Technologies For additional information contact:
