Destiny Media Technologies Reports Record Revenues for Q2 2008

Play MPE Revenues Grow for 10th Consecutive Quarter; 300% Increase Over the Prior Year

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media (BULLETIN BOARD: DSNY) , the global leader in the secure distribution of pre-release music to radio and provider of instant play streaming video and audio, is pleased to report record revenues for Q2 which covers the period December 2007 -- February 2008.

During the past four months (to March 31, 2008) agreements were reached with EMI North America company wide, more than 50 independent record labels, and approximately 30 independent promoters. The independent promoter agreements in turn represent in excess of 125 independent record labels. Many of these agreements were reached later in the quarter or into the third quarter so these contracts are expected to have a more significant impact on revenue as the year progresses.

Despite the seasonal slowdown in sends when labels shut down for the holidays, MPE(R) revenues still exceeded the previous high set the prior quarter. Clipstream(R) revenues declined by 15%, while MPE(R) revenues grew by 8%. The loss from operations declined 3%.

The company has been developing a subscription based automated Clipstream(R) hosted solution for customers which is expected to launch in Q3. Customers will have full reporting and complete control of their video content, which will be hosted on Destiny's server farms, but which will appear to be embedded in their own page or other third party pages on the net or even within their own emails. The slight decline in Clipstream(R) revenue is a result of a decrease in marketing efforts in anticipation of this launch.

"While still modest, revenue exceeded management's projections on the strength of new contracts and increased usage by existing customers," said Fred Vandenberg Chief Financial Officer. "We look forward to transitioning the rest of the industry from trials to paid agreements and expanding our usage globally. Tests are underway in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia / New Zealand. Approximately 90% of MPE(R) revenue in the quarter was from the US, while the remainder is from Canadian usage."
