The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offering made will be pursuant to available prospectus and registration exemptions and restricted to persons to whom the securities may be sold in accordance with the laws of such jurisdictions and by persons permitted to sell the securities in accordance with the laws of such jurisdictions.
YANGAROO has agreements with key music video broadcasters in Canada and the United States and has installed its patented Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) to allow them to receive broadcast quality music videos. YANGAROO is at various stages of discussions and negotiations with television broadcasters and advertising agencies to provide for the delivery of broadcast quality SD and HD television ads beginning in 2011. The Company believes DMDS has set the world standard for the digital delivery of television broadcast-quality content via the Internet and, ultimately, will be the standard for the delivery of a variety of other digital content to broadcasters. YANGAROO will continue to invest funds in building its business to achieve key market and growth targets. The Company's operations are not yet generating positive cash flow, so in future the Company may need to source additional funds in order to fulfil its business objectives.
"We are pleased to have moved forward with this working capital funding before the end of the year" said Scott Wambolt, CEO of YANGAROO.
