FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Expressed in United States dollars) |
Three months ended November 30, 2007 | Unaudited |
1. ORGANIZATION
Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in August 1998 under the laws of the State of Colorado. The Company develops 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 month period ended November 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 2008.
The balance sheet at August 31, 2007 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, 2007.
3. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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.
During the quarter ended November 30, 2007, the Company is aggressively implementing its business plan of transitioning new and existing customers (record labels) to transactional based contracts through the full commercial deployment of its Play MPE system. The Company is pursuing transaction fee based agreements with other large record labels and has developed an Indie Uploader system for smaller labels available on www.myplaympe.com. Through the end of the current quarter, the Company continued to utilize cash in operations ($611,410 for the quarter ending November 30, 2007). However, management expects revenues, and cashflows, to increase

significantly in fiscal 2008. Depending on the Companys ability to grow sales and related cash flows, the Company may need to raise additional funds to complete its business plan due to the significant working capital decrease. The Companys goal is to obtain these funds through an optimal mix of internal and external financing opportunities including cash flows from operations, strategic partnerships and equity financings.
There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is not certain. 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.
4. 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 was not completed in August of 2000. As the private placement was not completed 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 a settlement is finalized between the Company and parties involved in the August 2000 private placement.

[b] Stock option plans
The Company had previously reserved a total of 8,850,000 common shares for issuance under its existing stock option plans, of which, 1,490,375 remain available for future option issuance. The options generally vest over a range of periods from the date of grant, some are immediate, and others are 12 or 24 months.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Companys common stock for the options that were in-the-money at November 30, 2007.
[c] Stock-based compensation plans
Impact of Adoption of FAS 123(R)
At November 30, 2007, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. Prior to September 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No.25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Effective September 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three-month ended November 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of September 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted, modified or cancelled, subsequent to September 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R).
As FAS123(R) requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, stock-based compensation expense for the three-month ended November 30, 2007 has considerations for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures.
Total stock-based compensation for the three-month period ended November 30, 2007 includes stock-based compensation expense related to employees of $83,098 and stock-based-compensation expense related to consultants of $24,980 reported in the statement of operations as follows:

Valuation Assumptions
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:
Three months ended | ||||||
November 30, | November 30, | |||||
2007 | 2006 | |||||
Expected life of stock options (years) | 2.50 | 2.50-5.0 | ||||
Expected volatility | 85% | 86-94% | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.51% | 3.9-4.2% | ||||
Dividend yields | | |
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three-month period ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0.27 and $0.11, respectively.
As of November 30, 2007 there was $143,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to employee stock options granted under the plans, which is expected to be fully recognized over the next 18 months.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Companys stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on US Treasury bill rates in effect at the time of grant.

[d] Warrants
As at November 30, 2007, the Company has the following common stock warrants outstanding:
Number of Common | Exercise Price | ||||||||
Shares Issuable | $ | Date of Expiry | |||||||
$0.22 Warrants | 950,000 | 0.22 | August 25, 2011 | ||||||

7,611,000 |
5,400,000 of the $0.50 warrants have a forced conversion feature by which the Company can demand exercise of the share purchase warrants if the common stock trades at a price equal to or greater than $1.25 if certain conditions are met.
On September 11, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Bryant Park Capital to act as an exclusive financial advisor to provide strategic assistance and maximize shareholder value. As part of the agreement, the Company has issued 950,000 warrants with a strike price of $0.22. On April 9, 2007, the Company modified and expanded its agreement with Bryant Park Capital to include additional services not previously contemplated in the original agreement. As compensation, the Company paid Bryant Park Capital $7,500 per month to the end of September 2007 and issued an additional 500,000 warrants exercisable into common shares at a price of $0.70. The warrants vest monthly over the six months following the signing of the agreement.
The fair value of the 83,333 $0.70 warrants, which vested during the three-month ended November 30, 2007, was measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amounted to $24,980. This amount was expensed to sales and marketing in the statement of operations.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The term of the sublease is 1 year expiring on August 31, 2008, and calls for committed monthly payments of $6,063 which offsets our lease cost and a deposit of $12,121 has been received which will be applied to the last two months lease agreements.
Loans outstanding are amounts owing from management employees and due on demand and attracts interest at 7.5% repayable against salary and wages and repayments during the second quarter.
8. INCOME TAX
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, Canadian income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Companys evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Companys financial statements. The Companys evaluation was performed for the tax years ended August 31, 1999 through 2007, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of November 30, 2007. The Company may be assessed interest or penalties by tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Companys financial results.

9. CONTINGENCIES
On March 7, 2006 the Company filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Canada against Yangaroo Inc. (formerly Musicrypt Inc.) (the Defendant) to assert that the Companys technology does not infringe on the stated patent owned by the Defendant and to further declare that Defendants patent is invalid. This statement of claim was initiated by the Company as a result of the Defendants statements to the contrary. On June 7, 2006, the Companys counsel received a statement of defense and counterclaim from the defendant, requesting specified damages or audited Canadian profits from the Play MPE system if it is offered in Canada.
On January 11, 2007 the Federal Court of Canada issued a bifurcation order of the issues included in the action. Accordingly, only the issues of infringement and validity of the patent raised in the claim will be addressed in the current proceeding. The remaining issues including the counterclaim for specified damages will be subject of a separate determination to be conducted after the trial if it then appears that such issues need to be decided.
On May 3, 2007 the Company filed a statement of claim in Ontario Superior Court for damages against the defendant (Yangaroo Inc.), and executives of the Defendant, John Heaven and Clifford Hunt (collectively the Defendants) in the amount of $25,000,000 caused by the Defendants making statements constituting defamation and injurious falsehood, making false or misleading statements tending to discredit the business, making false or misleading representations contrary to the Competition Act of Canada, and unlawful interference with the Companys economic relations. The statement further requests an injunction from continuing the actions instigating the statement of claim.
On June 7, 2007 the defendant filed a statement of defense, denying the allegations set out in the statement of claim dated May 3, 2007, and counterclaim against the Company and its CEO, Steve Vestergaard, also in the amount of $25,000,000, for making statements constituting defamation and injurious falsehood, making false or misleading statements tending to discredit the business, making false or misleading representations contrary to the Competition Act, and unlawful interference with the defendant’s economic relations. The Company further requests an injunction from continuing the defamatory actions. No amount has been recognized as a receivable for damages as outlined in the statement of claim. The amount of damages awarded, if any, in relation to either counterclaim cannot be reasonably estimated and no receivables or payables have been recognized. Management does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have an adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt SFAS 157 effective September 1, 2008 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt SFAS 159 effective September 1, 2008 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 18, 2007, the Company received a new signed agreement with another Major record label. This agreement represents the second of four record labels commonly referred to as the Major Record Label group in the United States. Though this agreements effective date is November 1, 2007, we have not recognized any receivable or revenue during the period in respect of this agreement in accordance with SOP 97-2 which requires persuasive evidence of the existence of an agreement. As the agreement was signed by both parties subsequent to November 30, 2008, evidence of this agreement occurred subsequent to the end of the first quarter and, accordingly, revenue will be recognized subsequent to the first quarter in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2.

OVERVIEW AND CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (Destiny Media) is a holding company which owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Destiny Software Productions Inc. and MPE Distribution, Inc. The Company, Destiny or we refers to the consolidated activities of all three companies.
Destiny develops software tools and provides services which enable content owners to distribute their digital media globally using the internet. All Destiny technologies are developed by internal staff, are proprietary and are owned by the company.
Content can be accessed in either a transient manner (TV, radio) or it can be owned locally by the consumer (DVDs, CDs). Destiny provides media owners both approaches over the internet through two product lines:
A) |
Clipstream ® Product Line | |
Clipstream® enables audio or video content to be streamed so that the audio or video plays instantly and automatically. This is analogous to TV or radio. Creating streaming video content with other technologies can be a complicated process and in many cases, users are required to purchase and maintain streaming servers. With Clipstream®, content owners simply encode the content into the Clipstream format, then upload to an existing website. Clipstream® is a standards based technology built around Sun Microsystems Java engine. Because Java is included in most operating systems and browsers, Clipstream® encoded content will play instantly. This means that a much higher percentage of potential viewers successfully see the content by using Clipstream® than with other solutions. Clipstream® users are not required to download third party player software which can create instabilities and allow unsafe external access to the users computer. | ||
Clipstream® products include: | ||
Clipstream®: embeds high fidelity audio and video
on demand into web pages and emails | ||
Clipstream® Live: embeds live video stream into web pages and emails |

B) |
MPE® Product Line | |
MPE® enables the secure download of audio or video to a users computer. Content is protected from unauthorized distribution through two patent pending technologies. The first recognizes a user device as being unique, then encrypts the content to lock to that particular machine. The second patent pending technology embeds a digital trace or watermark into unlocked content, so that copies can be traced back to the owner of the original file. | ||
MPE® products include: | ||
Play MPE®: over 1,000 record labels use this service
to deliver pre-release music and music videos to trusted recipients including
radio station program directors, music buyers, record label staff and
the media. Over 69,000 songs have been sent through this system. | ||
MyPlayMPE: a self service system for smaller independents
to distribute music and music videos through Play MPE(TM) | ||
PODDS: a complete software suite to set up to securely
sell music online. Includes encoding modules, accounting modules and the
player software. This software can be utilized in an OEM agreement to set
up third party online music stores. In addition, Destiny has set up its
own store to sell music to commercial users in Canada (DJs, online
jukeboxes, etc.) Destiny has an encoded catalog of 12,000 songs and album
artwork under license from the four major record labels in Canada.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007
Revenue
Overall, our first quarter revenues grew by 29% over the previous quarter to $356,648. This represents the highest quarterly revenue in the Companys history and exceeded management projections. This revenue growth was primary due to an increase in our total MPE revenue. Revenue associated with our MPE® technology has grown by approximately 253% compare to the same quarter of last year and has grown approximately 31% compared to the last quarter and now represents approximately 74% of our total revenue. This acceleration in MPE® revenue is the direct result of the progress we have made in becoming an industry standard across geographic locations and across formats. During this quarter we
5
continued to transition our customers to transactional based contracts and revenue continued to grow through to the end of the quarter.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter we signed an agreement with the second of the four record labels considered the four Major Record Labels. We have not recognized any amount receivable or included any revenue in respect of this agreement in accordance with SOP 97-2 as persuasive evidence of the agreement did not occur until December 18, 2007, subsequent to the end of the quarter. Thus our record revenues during the quarter were achieved without this significant agreement.
Our revenue model is based on invoicing on a price per send. At January 11, 2008, we have delivered more than 69,000 individual songs in more than 95,000,000 transactions. We refer to a transaction as one song which is made available to one recipient. For revenue purposes, fees are based on sends as defined in their respective agreements, and could include a single transaction or group of transactions. A send is a song, bundle of songs, album, box set, or video, authorized to be sent to a particular recipient. The revenue associated with each send will be on a sliding scale depending on the size of the particular send.
The MPE® security engine powers two products: the Play MPEä (www.plaympe.com) media distribution system, and our online music store software suite (www.podds.ca). Our www.myplaympe.com system was launched immediately following the year end. MyPlayMPE is a system catered to smaller independent labels and allows access to our distribution network.
Approximately 24% of our revenues are derived from sales of our Clipstream® software, and increased from the same quarter of last year by 1% and increased from the last quarter by 22%.
Radio Destiny sales represent 2% of our total revenue.

318,886 | 111,202 | 207,684 | 186% |
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, professional fees, and other general office expenditures.
The increase in salaries and wages is due in part to the increase in non-cash compensation, and additional staff. The increase in professional fees is due to a greater volume of legal work associated with securities, litigation, contracts, patents and trademarks. Office and miscellaneous costs have increased as a result of a listing application and foreign exchange losses.
At the end of fiscal 2007 (August 31, 2007), we moved offices due to a proposed rent increase and to accommodate anticipated growth in staff. We were able to secure approximately double the square footage for approximately the same cost as the proposed rent increase. The new space is sufficiently large and efficient to accommodate our growth while providing some space to sub-lease. The rent expense listed above is offset by our rental income which is included in Other income on the face the Statement of Operations.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, sales commissions, advertising and promotional fees, and travel costs. The majority of this increase was due to additional staff to further the distribution and acceptance of the Play MPE distribution system. The increase in advertising and marketing is due primarily to a non-cash stock compensation expense, valued at $24,980, related to warrants granted to a consultant of the company providing strategic investment advisory services and in part to a rise in marketing fees associated with our MPE system. As a result of this increased marketing expenditure, adoption and usage of the Play MPE system increased significantly during the quarter.

Research and Development. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead and consulting fees with respect to product development and deployment. The increase is mainly due to both increased staff and stock based compensation.
Amortization
Amortization expense arose from fixed assets and other assets. Amortization decreased to $9,801 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 from $13,296 for the three months ended November 30, 2006, a decrease of $3,495 or 26%.
Other earnings and expenses
Other income increased by $18,188 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 reflects rent collected from a sub-lease of our office space.
Interest income increased by $10,266 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 as a result of the investment on GICs and bonds.

Losses
Our loss from operations increased to $836,006 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 from $313,152 for the three months ended November 30, 2006, representing an increase of $522,854. Our net loss increased to $811,600 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 from $316,530 for the three months ended November 30, 2006, representing an increase of $495,070 or 156%.
For our quarter ending November 30, 2007, our management plans to increase sales and marketing of Clipstream(tm) licenses and to transition trial phase customers of Play MPE(tm) to a commercial transaction model.
We may need to raise additional funds to complete our business plan due to our significant working capital decrease. Our goal is to obtain these funds through an optimal mix of internal and external financing opportunities including cash flows from operations, strategic partnerships and equity financings. There is no assurance that we will achieve the required financing.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We had cash of $670,931 as at November 30, 2007 compared to cash of $1,215,183 as at August 31, 2007. We had a working capital surplus of $728,173 as at November 30, 2007 compared to a working capital surplus of $1,339,722 as at August 31, 2007.
Working Capital Surplus
The decrease in our working capital surplus is attributed to a significant decrease in cash.
Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased to $450,945 as at November 30, 2007 from $325,442 at August 31, 2007, representing an increase of $125,503 or 39%. Included in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance as at November 30, 2007 is $172,864 of accrued liabilities and $278,081 trade accounts payable.
A deposit increased to $12,121 as at November 30, 2007 from $0 as at August 31, 2007.
Our current deferred revenues decreased to $8,081 as at November 30, 2007 from $9,984 as at August 31, 2007, representing a total decrease of $1,903 or 19%.

CASHFLOWS
Operating
Net cash used in operating activities increased to $611,410 for the three months ending November 30, 2007, compared to $141,589 for the three months ended November 30, 2006.
Investing
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $22,330 for purchasing equipment during the quarter ended November 30, 2007, as compared with $511 investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2006.
Financing
Net cash provided from financing activities decreased to $2,000 during the period ended November 30, 2007, as compared to $10,632 over the same period in the prior year. The company received $2,000 of proceeds for exercising options as of November 30, 2007.
Going Concern
During the quarter ended November 30, 2007, the Company is aggressively implementing its business plan of transitioning new and existing customers (record labels) to transactional based contracts through the full commercial deployment of its Play MPE system. The Company is pursuing transaction fee based agreements with other large record labels and has developed an Indie Uploader system for smaller labels available on www.myplaympe.com. Through the end of the current quarter, the Company continued to utilize cash in operations ($611,410 for the quarter ending November 30, 2007). However, management expects revenues, and cashflows, to increase significantly in fiscal 2008. Depending on our ability to grow sales and related cash flows, we may need to raise additional funds to complete our business plan due to our significant working capital decrease. Our goal is to obtain these funds through an optimal mix of internal and external financing opportunities including cash flows from operations, strategic partnerships and equity financings.
There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is not certain. 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities. 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.
The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
