[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nUS Deliveries Triple in Period; Independent Sector Revenues Grow 51%\n\n\nTORONTO, Nov. 29 /CNW/ - YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF), the\nindustry's leading secure digital media distribution company, today announced\nits results for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2007. Revenues\n(which exclude interest income) for the nine month period ended September 30,\n2007 were 27% higher than for the same period in 2006. The loss for the nine\nmonths increased 12%, but remained below the company's budget target. The\ncompany's liquidity position remained strong and above plan with $6,925,000\ncash on hand and total liabilities of $217,000 at the quarter end.\n\n\nIn the US market, the adoption of YANGAROO's Digital Media Distribution\nSystem (DMDS) accelerated through the first three quarters, as the number of\ndeliveries made via DMDS in the US rose to 846,000 by the end of September.\nThe number of US deliveries in the nine month period was more than triple\nthose made in the same period of 2006.
