Musicrypt Reports Q1 Revenues Up 40%: US Deliveries Increase Over 700%

Musicrypt revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were 40% higher than for the same quarter last year. Revenues from the vibrant independent music sector grew by two-thirds, augmenting growth in major label customer billings.

Toronto, Ontario (Billboard Publicity Wire) May 30, 2007 -- Musicrypt Inc. (TSX-V: MCT, OTC: MCYPF), the industry's leading secure digital media distribution company, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were 40% higher than for the same quarter last year. Revenues from the vibrant independent music sector grew by two-thirds, augmenting growth in major label customer billings. Musicrypt's US market presence also accelerated through the first quarter, as the number of deliveries made via DMDS in the US rose to 271,000, over seven times those made in the first quarter of 2006.
