Also, as more fully discussed in DMGI's most recent filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company does not presently expect to achieve any meaningful revenue from video distribution until the second half of 2007, and it is possible that DMGI could never achieve meaningful revenue from investments in video distribution.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements (including, without limitation, information regarding Digital Music Group's new long-term distribution agreements for television, film, and video catalogs, DMGI's plans to deliver high-quality properties to the maturing digital video market, DMGI's efforts to forge expanded or new relationships with digital retailers to include video distribution to a wide variety of devices, DMGI's strategy to position DMGI as a leading distributor of digital entertainment, and DMGI's plans to work with content owners of all types of entertainment properties to help them access the digital media market) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the results of Digital Music Group to differ materially from management's current expectations. Actual results may differ materially due to a number of factors including, among others: we may not be able to determine the proper valuation for the licensing of digital rights to video recordings; we will be substantially dependent on online stores and mobile services for the distribution and sale of our digital video recordings; we currently have digital video distribution agreements with a limited number of online stores and mobile services, and if we are unable to enter into additional distribution agreements with channel outlets on commercially favorable terms, this could limit our revenue; our success in this area depends on the market demand for digital video recordings and our ability to acquire and offer for purchase video recordings that appeal to consumers' tastes and preferences which are unpredictable; our approach for licensing music may not work well for licensing video recordings; video distribution is in its infancy and technical requirements are evolving; we may encounter unexpected difficulties in processing the video into digital formats or in meeting the technical requirements of the online stores; we may have to make significant investments in our technology and operating cost structure to meet evolving technical requirements; delays in processing and delivering video recordings to the online stores may cause delays in expected revenue growth; any significant changes from current processing requirements could increase our costs and delay or impede our ability to achieve a profit from the distribution of our video catalogs; online stores and mobile services could limit the types or amount of video content they will accept from content owners and distributors like us, and our revenue could be significantly reduced if we are unable to exploit all of the content we have under contract. The matters discussed in this press release also involve risks and uncertainties described in Digital Music Group's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Digital Music Group assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking information contained in this release.
