Revenue and Earnings Each Double
HONG KONG, Feb. 21 /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 that the Company has doubled its revenues and earnings for the year-end ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year-ended December 31, 2004.
Financial highlights for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2004:

Earnings per share was $0.14 and earnings per diluted share was $ 0.11 for twelve months ended December 31, 2005.
The strong performance in 2005 was mainly driven by the Nanhai digitalization project, where the increase in the number of digital television subscribers with valued-added services contributed to a significant increase in revenue per subscriber. In addition, revenue from the Company's ownership interest in Guangdong M-Rider and the investment in television programs also generated significant sales and earnings.
''Our management and the Board of Directors are delighted to report terrific results for 2005. Our operations in Nanhai, driven by the digitalization project, is gaining momentum after two years, and the new investments we made in 2005 have also strengthened our competitive advantage and enhanced the Company's earnings,'' stated Mr. Daniel Ng, Chairman and CEO of China Digital Media Corporation. ''In the next two years, we will focus our development through advertising sales by building up a good customer base of international and domestic brand names. In the mid or longer term, our existing operations should generate sufficient cash flow to invest and to replicate our successful business model in other cities or provinces in China,'' added Mr. Ng. ''We will continue to drive our growth through acquisition and partnership.''
Recently, the Company announced an acquisition of assets of a leading media and advertising group and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to form two joint ventures with the Provincial Television Station in China.
