Destiny Media Technologies Announces Third Quarter Results

Play MPE System Access Fees Surge 250% Sequentially

Further Sequential Growth Anticipated

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media Technologies (BULLETIN BOARD: DSNY) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, highlighted by sharply higher system access fees for its proprietary Play MPE(TM) secure digital media distribution system and the launch of Clipstream 3, the company's newest- generation solution for playing user-generated audio and video over the Internet.

For the three months ended May 31, 2007, access fees from Destiny's proprietary Play MPE secure digital media distribution system surged to $165,735 which is 250% of $65,860 reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, reflecting the transition from the pilot phase to full transaction-based pricing and the expansion of the system into Canada. Total Play MPE transactions increased 229% to 15,164,920 in Q3 2007 from 4,613,725 in Q3 2006.

"We expect Play MPE access fees to increase to at least $190,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 based on anticipated growth in usage with existing paid customers. We anticipate a larger sequential increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as we complete the implementation of our pricing model and additional pilot phase customers in the U.S. and Canada go to commercial contract," said CFO Fred Vandenberg.

Record labels that have entered into commercial agreements to use Destiny's Play MPE system for the distribution of pre-release media are reducing costs by sending fewer physical CDs, and some are already delivering content exclusively through the MPE system. Customers also benefit from the unique security and tracking features of the Play MPE system. "Industry awareness of the advantages of Play MPE is rapidly increasing, and we are confident that additional labels will enter into agreements with us," Vandenberg said. He added that the Company's credit card-based upload system to accommodate the promotional media distribution requirements of smaller independent labels is scheduled to go on-line in July.

As anticipated, third quarter revenue from the Company's proprietary Clipstream 3 system for embedding streaming audio and video into web pages was significantly below prior year, reflecting Destiny's focus on establishing Clipstream 3 partner relationships rather than direct sales to end users. "We expect these investments in new partnerships in the advertising and market research verticals to generate renewed growth in Clipstream 3 revenue beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008," Vandenberg said.

Clipstream 3 is the simplest way to provide instant video and sound on virtually any internet browser, and does not require users to install software or open their computers to potential security threats. With Clipstream 3, content owners simply encode, then upload the video and audio content to an existing web site. In contrast, competing solutions use complicated third party streaming servers that need to be integrated with the main webserver.
