LOS ANGELES - April 12 - Mandalay Digital Group,

mia has extensive content licenses with major brands, a proprietary content management system and billing integration. Its customers
include tier-1 operators such as Vodafone Hutchison Australia, SingTel Optus and Telstra.
"Our acquisition of mia enables us to expand the Digital
Turbine footprint into the Asia Pacific region while also allowing us to leverage key synergies between the companies including
distribution channels, content, product offerings, services and personnel", stated Peter Adderton, chief executive officer
of Mandalay Digital Group. "mia is a proven company with an established and profitable business model that we expect to add
approximately $13 million to Mandalay Digital Group revenues over the next 12 months and enhance our cash flow profile. The acquisition
is another example of Mandalay's strategy of acquiring companies that add both immediate financial growth and further our
strategic initiative of creating the preeminent content management platform for OEM, carrier and media partners across the globe".
The Digital Turbine technology platform allows media companies,
mobile carriers and their OEM handset partners to take advantage of multiple mobile operating systems across multiple networks,
while maintaining their own branding and personalized, one-to-one relationships with each end-user.

"would", "may" and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, such as;
changes in international regulatory and compliance requirements that could restrict our ability to develop, market and sell our

outside of the United States; difficulty in hiring, staffing and managing qualified and proficient local employees and advisors
to run international operations; the difficulty of managing and operating an international enterprise, including difficulties in
maintaining effective communications with employees and customers due to distance, language and cultural barriers; differing labor
regulations and business practices; higher operating costs due to local laws or regulations; fluctuations in foreign economies
and currency exchange rates; difficulty in enforcing agreements; the potential impairment of tangible assets, intangible assets
and goodwill acquired in acquisitions; and potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws, post-acquisition.
Other factors include uncertainties as to ability to raise new capital on acceptable terms or at all, ability to identify and consummate
roll-up acquisitions targets, levels of orders, ability to record revenues, release schedules, finalization and market acceptance
of new products, changes in economic conditions and market demand, pricing and other activities by competitors, and other risks
including those described from time to time in Mandalay Digital Group's filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), press releases and other communications.
