YANGAROO’s Earnings and Revenue Growth Continues Through Third Quarter

YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF), the industry’s leading secure digital media distribution company, today announced record results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 grew 24% over revenues for the third quarter of 2008. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter of 2009 improved by 36% over the same period in 2008. The loss for the third quarter of 2009 was 19% lower than for the third quarter of 2008.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have exceeded revenues for the entire 2008 fiscal year. Revenues for this nine month period grew 37% over revenues for the same period in 2008. The loss for the first nine months of 2009 was 25% lower than for the first nine months of 2008 and the corresponding loss per share decreased to $0.02 from $0.03. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 improved by 35% over the same period in 2008.

Highlights from the third quarter of 2009 include the delivery of the first full broadcast-quality music videos utilizing DMDS 5.0 in Canada and in the United States, the designation of New York-based Devlin Video International as the first “Certified Sender” for DMDS 5.0, a ruling by a Federal Court in Wisconsin in YANGAROO’S favor on a Motion to Dismiss brought by Defendant Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (OTC:DSNY) in the company’s patent infringement and injunction suit, and the signing of a multi-year agreement with The Recording Academy® to use DMDS for the GRAMMY® Awards.

“With our DMDS 5.0 platform, we are now offering our customers the most advanced solution available for secure digital distribution for music, music videos, television advertising, award shows and television program production, which we expect will drive revenue growth,” said YANGAROO President & CEO John Heaven. “The third quarter was marked by two video delivery firsts, including our first revenues from music video delivery. Both major and independent record labels are now using DMDS for music video delivery and we expect these volumes to grow. Our EBITDA improved by 39% over the preceding second quarter of 2009 and we expect our financial results to continue their upward trend.”

Summary of operating results for the periods ended September 30:

           
$CDN   Nine Months   3rd Quarter
    2009   2008   2009   2008
Revenue   604,439   440,790   218,211   175,767
Interest income   10,044   121,569   945   28,473
EBITDA   (1,452,515)   (2,236,194)   (365,996)   (575,468)
Net loss for the period   (1,881,298)   (2,503,587)   (545,626)   (675,672)
Loss per share (basic & diluted)   (0.02)   (0.03)   (0.01)   (0.01)
   

The 24% increase in revenues in the third quarter, combined with a 13% decrease in total expenses, accounted for the 19% lower loss compared to the third quarter of 2008. A 22% decrease in salaries and consulting expenses accounted for most of the reduction in total expenses. General and administrative expenses were lower by 27% and marketing and promotion expenses decreased 23%, which also contributed to the reduced total expenses. A 40% increase in amortization expenses plus reduced interest income partially offset the lower operating expenses.
