POMPANO BEACH, FL – December 28, 2006 – Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand, digital media communications and applications, today announced that it has received approximately $2.2 million from its recent issuance of approximately 1.5 million common shares, resulting from the exercise of previously issued warrants and options. These exercises took place beginning on December 13, with the majority occurring on December 21. In addition, approximately $3.1 million of its 8% convertible senior and subordinated debentures, representing 59% of the gross balance outstanding as of June 30, 2006, have been eliminated as a result of recent conversions into approximately 3.1 million common shares. “As a result of the recent market activity in the company’s common stock, many investors holding both common stock purchase-warrants and convertible debentures have exercised their warrants or converted their debt, favorably resulting in both a significant cash infusion and debt reduction,” said Randy Selman, president and chief executive officer of Onstream Media. “We now have additional capital to satisfy existing accounts payable, fund recurring capital and operating expense requirements, and expand our marketing and sales programs. As a result of our recently announced Digital Media Services Platform Web 2.0 technology upgrades, combined with these expanded marketing and sales programs, we are now well positioned to accelerate our ongoing efforts to increase our market share of the “video on the web” marketplace. ” These debenture conversions will result in a one-time non-cash expense of approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, arising from the write-off of an unamortized debt discount. The conversions and the warrant exercises will reduce the pool of derivatives that the Company is required to adjust to market value each quarter, however the impact on the December 31, 2006 financial statements will depend on, among other things, the market price of the Company’s shares at that date.
