The company also reported it has received notice of a new digEplayer(TM) order from digEcor(TM) (formerly APS) for approximately $750,000, which it expects to ship this quarter. e.Digital also expects to receive orders for it`s new MedeViewer E7(TM) this quarter from companies in the healthcare and travel and leisure industries.

``We continue to make progress growing annual revenues and reducing losses,`` said Atul Anandpura, president and chief executive officer of e.Digital Corporation. ``We are experiencing a growing market for versions of secure, closed system video products which we are moving to exploit through versions of our new proprietary digital video/audio technology platform (DVAP).``

Commenting on digEcor`s decision to develop their own products, Robert Putnam, e.Digital`s senior vice president, said, ``Intellectual property rights, non-recurring engineering fees and the size of guaranteed orders were the major issues that precluded us from reaching an agreement on supplying an embedded system. While we appreciate notice of digEcor`s latest order, we understand their desire to go their own direction in order to secure their own intellectual property for the digEplayer.``

``We are proud to be the company that designed, developed and is manufacturing (through our partners in Asia) the first portable in-flight entertainment product which is currently being used by 20 airlines,`` said Fred Falk, e.Digital`s vice president of business development. ``Based on our proprietary first generation DVAP, the award winning digEplayer showcases our expertise in closed system video products, content loading and playback. Its success has opened doors to new business opportunities with companies who share our desire to exploit new markets for closed system video products utilizing our proprietary next generation DVAP.``

e.Digital`s new DVAP will come in the form of a finished product with the following planned features:

High resolution digital LCD

Embedded magnetic card reader

Touch screen capabilities

Internet access

Voice over IP (VoIP)

Full featured graphical user interface

Content security

RFID for tracking and theft control

Access to e.Digital-supplied content

Concluded Putnam, ``With orders expected for our MedeViewer E7 this quarter and in the next quarter, and based on current and emerging business from the healthcare and travel and leisure industries and other markets, we expect fiscal 2006 annual revenues and business to exceed fiscal 2005 revenues and business. We also expect to be much more active with new customers in media and press opportunities for e.Digital and our next generation proprietary DVAP technology.``

These preliminary revenue results are subject to completion of quarter end accounting procedures by e.Digital`s management and to review by its independent auditors. e.Digital expects to announce its final results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, by mid-November 2005.
