Destiny Media Achieves First Operating Profit From Doubling of Play MPE(R)
Revenues
Quarterly Revenue Growth of 42% Exceeds Management Projections





VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media
Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: DSNY), the global leader in the secure
distribution of pre-release music to radio and provider of instant play
streaming media, is pleased to announce that third quarter revenues grew by
42% from the previous quarter (80% over the third quarter in fiscal 2008) on
the strength of better than anticipated revenue for its Play MPE(R) system. 
During the quarter the Company became profitable and realized positive cash
flow from operations.  Play MPE(R) revenue grew by 114% from the same quarter
in the prior year.

"The Company has 'crossed the chasm' into profitability and we expect
revenues, income and positive cash flow to continue to grow into the
foreseeable future", commented Destiny CFO, Fred Vandenberg.  "We have
experienced 17% compounded quarter over quarter revenue growth over the past
eleven quarters which has resulted in income from operations.  We project
revenue to continue to rise in our fourth quarter leading to a conservatively
estimated 30% increase in net income and to realize a profit for the year
ended August 31, 2009."

According to Destiny CEO, Steve Vestergaard, "We have worked closely with the
record labels to build a system that works well with their internal business
processes and they are comfortable relying on our system as they phase out
physical CD's completely.  We expect our profits from Play MPE(R) business to
grow into the foreseeable future as the labels expand usage internally and we
expand internationally.  In addition, we expect to layer in new revenue
streams for Clipstream(R) products that will begin rolling out in Q1 of next
year."
