HONG KONG, Nov. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Digital Media Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: CDGT) , a leading provider of cable and digital television services and contents in China, announced today record financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004:

* Revenues increased 130% to $2.49 million from $1.08 million

* EBITDA improved 106% to $3.40 million from $1.65 million

$1.46 million

The Company would have reported pro forma total net income before tax of $0.09 per diluted share and $0.12 per diluted share for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 respectively, assuming that the reduction in the conversion ratio that was announced on October 29, 2005 had occurred in the third quarter.

The strong revenue growth in the 2005 third quarter was primarily due to the increase in number of TV subscribers, sales of Pay-TV, revenue from commercial accounts of digitalization of television signals, and new sources of advertising revenue from the recent acquisition of Guangdong M-Rider Media Company ("M-Rider").

"Our third quarter results reflect the strong growth that we have been experiencing in adding new commercial and residential subscribers," said Mr. Daniel Ng, Chairman and CEO. "The increase in premium services subscriptions and commercial subscribers in our digital TV operations helped increase our margins substantially. The effect from our acquisition of M-Rider, which only began to contribute to our results late in the third quarter, should enhance our revenue dramatically in the coming years as we begin to increase advertising revenue significantly. We will continue to selectively target acquisition candidates that will enhance the services we provide our customers and drive earnings growth in the future."

Recently, the Company announced that more than 120,000 households have installed its digital television equipment, with over 20% subscribing to receive premium packages of television broadcasting and additional digital set-top-boxes ("STB"). The Company receives a portion of the subscription fees and various services fees from its 400,000 customers in Nanhai, a city near to Guangzhou City.
