MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. Notes to Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements Nine months ended May 31, 2005 |
1. | Organization: |
Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (the “Company”)
was incorporated in August 1998 under the laws of the State of Colorado.
The Company develops enabling technologies that allow for the distribution
over the Internet of digital media files in either a streaming or digital
download format. The technologies are proprietary. The Company operates
out of Vancouver, BC, Canada and serves customers predominantly located
in the United States and Canada. |
|
2. | Basis of Presentation: |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and in accordance with Item 310(b) of Regulation
S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods
ended May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended August 31, 2005. |
|
The balance sheet at August 31, 2004 has been derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. |
|
For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2004. |
|
The interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business
for the foreseeable future. |
|
The Company incurred an operating loss of $340,190
for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 (May 31, 2004 - $332,404),
has incurred cumulative losses of $4,428,684 at May 31, 2005 and has
a working capital deficiency of $482,862 as at May 31, 2005 that raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management
has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through a series of
equity financings and shareholder loans. Management plans to continue
to seek sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no
assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms,
if at all. Management expects to keep its operating costs to a minimum
until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There
are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these
goals. |

DESTINY
MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. Notes to Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements Nine months ended May 31, 2005 |
2. | Basis of Presentation (continued): |
In view of these conditions, the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent
upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of
the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.
Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue
as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any
adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and
discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business
and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial
statements. |
|
3. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: |
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 123R “Share-Based Payment,” a revision
to FAS 123. FAS 123R replaces existing requirements under FAS 123 and
APB 25, and requires public companies to recognize the cost of employee
services received in exchange for equity instruments, based on the grant-date
fair value of those instruments, with limited exceptions. FAS 123R also
affects the pattern in which compensation cost is recognized, the accounting
for employee share purchase plans, and the accounting for income tax effects
of share-based payment transactions. For small-business filers, FAS 123R
will be effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December
15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted in periods in which financial statements
have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt FAS 123R on March
1, 2006. As permitted by FAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based
payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method. Accordingly,
the adoption of FAS 123R’s fair value method will have a significant
impact on the Company’s statement of operations, although it will
have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The
impact of adoption of FAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because
it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.
However, had the Company adopted FAS 123R in prior periods, the impact
of that standard would have approximated the impact of FAS 123 as described
in the disclosure of pro forma net loss and loss per share in Note 7 to
these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. |
|
4. | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
|
Accrued liabilities as at May 31, 2005 totaled $60,310
(August 31, 2004 - $33,648). Accounts payable includes $164,498
of disputed items, including those outlined in note 8. |
|
5. | Shareholder loans: |
Shareholder loans payable as at May 31, 2005 totaled
$157,670 (August 31, 2004 – 20,564). These amounts are non-interest
bearing and have no specific repayment terms. |
|
6. | Obligation for share settlement: |
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, the
Company issued 133,333 common shares to be delivered in settlement for
proceeds of $100,000 received in respect of a private placement that
did not complete in August of 2000. As the private placement did not complete
and although management expects that the amount ultimately will be settled
through the release of the shares, the obligation for share settlement
is recorded as a liability until settlement results between the Company
and parties involved in the August 2000 private placement. |

(c) Pro-forma disclosure of stock based compensation:
|
|
Pro forma information regarding results of operations
and earnings (loss) per share is required by SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS
148, for stock-based awards to employees as if the Company had accounted
for such awards using the fair value method. |
|
The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards
granted to employees for the three and nine- month periods ended May 31,
2005 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted
average assumptions used and the resulting estimates of weighted average
fair value of stock options granted issued during the following periods
were as follows: |

For pro forma purposes, the estimated value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options.

8. | Contingencies:
|
(a) | A subsidiary of the Company
commenced legal proceedings against Impatica.com Inc. (“Impatica”)
for payment of approximately $512,500 in unpaid technology licensing
fees. It is the Company’s position that Impatica repudiated
the licensing agreement and that the unpaid license fees totaling
$512,500 are a debt owing by Impatica to the Company. |
The defendant has denied
liability to the Company on the basis that the license agreement was not
formalized. The defendant has filed a counterclaim against the Company
seeking return of $162,500 advanced to the Company on an alleged
“good faith” agreement based on the allegation that
the technology did not perform as represented. These funds were recorded
as revenues earned in accordance with the Company’s revenue
recognition policy in fiscal 2001. At May 31, 2005 the outcome of
this claim and counterclaim is not determinable. As such, no amounts
have been accrued at quarter end. |
|
(b) | On September 14, 2004, a
statement of claim was filed against the Company by its former solicitor
for fees and accrued interest of $145,978 CDN relating to legal services
provided in connection with a failed transaction in 2001 and other
general corporate matters. It is the Company’s position that
a significant portion of the fees being sought by its former solicitor
are unwarranted and that the fees should not be borne by the Company.
The Company has engaged legal counsel to defend itself and has launched
a counterclaim. The Writ of Summons was filed in the BC Supreme
Court on September 14, 2004. As at August 31, 2004 and May 31, 2005,
the company has accrued for the disputed fees, but not the accrued interest
and will seek all options available to extinguish this debt. Any
adjustments to the amounts recognized will be recorded when determinable. |

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. In addition to historical information, the information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company’s capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “Intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially.

OVERVIEW
Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (the "Company", “Destiny Media” or “we”) is a holding company which owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Destiny Software Productions, Inc. Destiny Software Productions, Inc. is the operating company. The “Company”, “Destiny” or “we” refers to the consolidated activities of both companies.
The company is the developer and marketer of innovative technologies which facilitate the distribution of digital media content. All four technologies discussed below are commercially mature and ready for market.
ClipstreamTM | Our ClipstreamTM
family of software products enables our customers to deliver audio
and video streaming media via the Internet without requiring the
viewer to install software media players or requiring the customer
to deploy server technology. |
MPETM | Our MPETM software
is an audio and video media distribution system that enables artists
and other media rights owners to securely distribute their media
through the Internet. All electronic content is locked to the digital
fingerprint of the destination computer. |
Currently the
system is being used to instantly distribute individual songs from
various record labels. If the songs are exported to CD, a digital
watermark is invisibly embedded into the song, so the originating
computer can be identified. Our system supports the distribution of
music, but it may be adopted to move video, software, research reports,
or other electronic media. |
|
RadioDestiny Broadcaster | Our RadioDestiny
Broadcaster software enables our customers to broadcast a professional
Internet radio station from the customer’s personal computer.
|
3
Destiny Media Player | Our Destiny Media Player software enables a customer to listen to MP3 music files and to listen to RadioDestinyTM Internet broadcasts on their personal computer. |
All four technologies are proprietary and were developed by the company.
In October 2004, the company released an adapted version of MPETM which facilitates the transfer of music from the recording industry to radio stations and trusted users. We have begun recognizing revenue associated with this new version of MPETM during the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 during the pilot phase of implementation. Management anticipates that revenues will grow significantly as the system gains acceptance by the industry.
Pirate Radio sales are also expected to continue and management is pursuing retail distribution of the Pirate Radio software.
We are a publicly traded company. Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin board under the symbol “DSNY” and on the Berlin exchange in Germany under the symbol “DME”.
Our corporate website is located on the Internet at http://www.dsny.com.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
During our fiscal year ending August 31, 2005, management will focus on the introduction of our MPETM digital music distribution system into full time commercial use. We anticipate that our MPETM technology will be integrated into third party products. We will continue to market the MPETM digital rights management system to the recording industry.
We have entered into a pilot program and license agreement with the Universal Music Group (“UMG”). UMG will use the MPETM system to securely distribute new music tracks to radio and trusted users. We have completed the pilot phase of the agreement on May 31, 2005 and negotiations of our license agreement are on-going.
Historically our largest source of revenue has been our ClipstreamTM suite of products. Management believes that our ClipstreamTM suite of products has significant advantages over other competitors in the industry. Through increased expenditures on sales and marketing, management anticipates an increase in revenue as awareness of our products expands. We also anticipate the launch of new versions of various products in the ClipstreamTM Suite and are currently pursuing opportunities to expand the uses of our technology in association with existing technologies such as Java based cellular phones.
We will continue to sell the Pirate Radio suite online and through Amazon.com. We will also market this internet radio broadcast system to private radio networks and retail channels.

OPERATING RESULTS
Nine Months Ended May 31, 2005
OPERATING RESULTS
Revenue
Revenue for the nine months ending May 31, 2005 has increased over the same period in the prior fiscal year by approximately 1%. Sales of ClipstreamTM have declined over the same period last year while our MPETM technology has resulted in the overall increase.
Revenue associated with our Clipstream TM suite of products continues to represent the majority our sales at approximately 85% for the quarter just ended while revenue associated with our MPETM technology will represent a significant growth area. During the quarter ending May 31, 2005, revenues decreased 32% from our second quarter ending February 28, 2005 due to a decrease in ClipstreamTM suite of products.
Operating Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenditures.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $299,098 for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 from $388,274 for same period in 2004. The decrease is due primarily to a one-time charge of approximately $80,000 for corporate initiatives relating to promotional and business development activities incurred in fiscal 2004.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, sales commissions, advertising, promotional fees and travel costs.

Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively consistent with the same period in the prior year. The company has incurred travel expenses associated with negotiating contracts with various customers for use of our MPETM technology and remains committed to expanding the awareness of our ClipstreamTM suite of products. The decrease in salaries and wages corresponds to a decline in commission costs.
Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead and consulting fees with respect to product development and deployment

Research and development expenses remained relatively consistent for the same period in the prior year.
Increases in costs associated with less favorable US dollar exchange rate are offset by the capitalization of certain development costs associated with our MPETM technology.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses arose from equipment and other assets. Depreciation and amortization increased to $49,513 for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to $31,680 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004, an increase of $17,833 or 56%.
The increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the capitalization (and subsequent amortization) of development costs associated with our MPETM technology. We began depreciating the development costs in the first quarter of 2005, as this digital transmission system was ready for use in our pilot program with UMG and was generating income.

Other Income and Expenses
In the prior year, a gain on extinguishment of debt amounted to $79,215 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004. In 2004, we were successful in negotiating a reduction in fees associated with past services provided by various professionals and our telecommunications carrier. Interest and other income amounted to $12,205 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 compared to $67 for the same period ended May 31, 2005. In 2004 we had rented part of our office space while in 2005 this space was used by the Company. These balances consisted primarily of rental revenue realized on vacant office space sublet during the prior period. No rental revenue was realized in the period ending May 31, 2005.
Income (loss) from operations
Loss from operations for the quarter ended May 31, 2005 was $143,737 compared to $115,457 for the same quarter ending May 31, 2004.
Loss from operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 was $340,190 compared to a loss of $332,404 for the same period ending May 31, 2004. Revenue associated with MPETM has begun to grow but is still at preliminary levels and was insufficient to generate a positive net income for the period.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We had cash of $664 as at May 31, 2005 compared to cash of $17,523 as at August 31, 2004. We had a working capital deficiency of $482,862 as at May 31, 2005 compared to $407,872 as at August 31, 2004. We had a shareholders’ deficiency of $468,554 as at May 31, 2005 compared to a shareholders’ deficiency of $420,316 as at August 31, 2004.
CASHFLOWS
Operating
Net cash used in operating activities increased to $394,599 for the nine months ending May 31, 2005, compared to $264,453 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004.
Investing
The company invested $56,993 in the purchase of equipment and software development for the nine months ending May 31, 2005 compared to $8,400 for the same period ending May 31, 2004. The increase is due to the development of our music digital delivery system.
Financing
During the first nine months of fiscal 2005, we received $293,177 from the exercise of 1,018,125 options. Additionally, the company received net proceeds of $138,330 from shareholder loans.
Going Concern
We have incurred recurring losses from operations and we have a working capital deficiency. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Operations to date have been primarily financed by equity transactions. Depending on our ability to continue to grow sales and related cash flows, we will need additional capital through public or private financings that may not be available on reasonable terms. Accordingly, we will require the continued financial support from our shareholders and creditors until we are able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations on a sustained basis. There can be no assurances that we will be successful. If we are not, we will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our predecessor auditors have referred to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on

We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
