YANGAROO (formerly Musicrypt) Reports First Half Revenues Up 27 Percent
US deliveries increase over 500%.
Toronto, Ontario (Billboard Publicity Wire) August 17, 2007 -- YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF), the industry's leading secure digital media distribution company, today announced its results for the first half ended June 30, 2007. The growth that YANGAROO experienced through 2006 continued into the first six months of 2007. Revenues (which exclude interest income) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 were 27% higher than revenues for the first half of 2006. The loss for the same period increased 6%.
YANGAROO's US market presence also accelerated through the first half, as the number of deliveries made via DMDS in the US rose to 532,000, over five times those made in the first half of 2006. At the end of the second quarter of 2007, YANGAROO's DMDS was the de-facto standard for B2B (business to business) digital delivery of new music files for the record and radio industry in Canada. No competitor's system was in commercial use at any major record label in Canada to date in 2007. EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner in Canada were all using DMDS commercially and the adoption of DMDS within the fast-growing independent music sector was expanding.
YANGAROO has now commenced billable deliveries of advertising for the Gary Group and Universal Music Group of Los Angeles. In the UK, YANGAROO's partner Adstream has commenced billable deliveries of music.
"The growth in North American music delivery revenues combined with the commencement of both advertising delivery and UK music delivery revenues are very encouraging," said YANGAROO President & CEO John Heaven. "Further, the recent progress with the examination of our pending US patent also bolsters our optimism."
