DESTINY MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in United States dollars)

Nine months ended May 31, 2004 and 2003

 

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.     
Continuing operations:
 
 
From inception of the business, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $4,001,462 and at May 31, 2004 had a working capital deficiency of $319,643. As a result, doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Operations to date have been primarily financed by equity transactions. Depending on the Company's ability to continue to grow sales and related cash flows, the Company may need additional capital through public or private financings that may not be available on reasonable terms. Accordingly, the Company will require the continued support from its shareholders and creditors until it is able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations on a sustained basis.
 
 
It is management's intention to leverage the existing technology to further develop sales and to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from operations. If it is not successful in generating cash from operations, the Company will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. The 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

OVERVIEW

Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (the "Company", "Destiny Media" or "we") develops and markets audio and video streaming and digital distribution software products for the Internet. Our software products are based on proprietary enabling technologies and other consumer friendly tools and processes that enable end users to receive high-quality digital audio and video streaming media through the Internet.

We have developed four distinct software products that incorporate our proprietary streaming and digital technology:

Clipstream™ 
Our Clipstream™ 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.
   
RadioDestiny Broadcaster 
Our RadioDestiny Broadcaster software enables our customers to broadcast a professional Internet radio station from the customer's personal computer.
   
Destiny Media Player 
Our Destiny Media Player software enables a customer to listen to MP3 music files and to listen to RadioDestiny™ Internet broadcasts on their personal computer.
   
MPE™ 
Our MPE™ software is audio and video media distribution software that enables artists and other media rights owners to distribute their media through Internet and to receive payment from customers who elect to purchase after a free preview of the media.

We have finished development of all our software products. Our primary business focus is currently on marketing and achieving sales of our Clipstream™ product line.

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 953 410".

Our corporate website is located on the Internet at http://www.dsny.com.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

During our fiscal year ending August 31, 2004, our management plans on expanding awareness and sales for Clipstream™ by increasing expenditures on sales and marketing and by better supporting our reseller network. We will continue to sell the Pirate Radio suite online and through Amazon.com. We will launch the MPE(tm) digital rights management system to the recording industry.

MPE™ is currently being tested by the US and Canadian recording industry and subsequent to quarter end, we entered into a 2 1/2 year license agreement with the Universal Music Group. UMG will use the MPE system to securely distributed new music tracks to radio and trusted users. Destiny will receive a per track licensing fee when the system launches in July / August 2004.

The MPE™ system is uniquely suited for digital delivery of music. Songs are locked down so they will only play on authorized computers. If the songs are exported to CD, a digital watermark is invisibly embedded into the song, so the originating computer can be identified. We are also integrating our MPE™ technology into third party products, with the goal of selling music to DJ's utilizing our technology. We expect MPE™ revenues will increase significantly in fiscal 2005.

We will have to raise additional funds to complete our business plan due to our current significant working capital deficit. 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 and there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise the capital necessary to complete our business plan or fund our working capital deficit.

OPERATING RESULTS

Revenue

Approximately 95% of our revenues continue to be derived from sales of our Clipstream™ software, with the balance being comprised of sales of our RadioDestiny Broadcaster™ software and sales of our PirateRadio™ software. For sales of our Clipstream™ software, our revenues are primarily attributable to revenue from license fees. Revenues associated with maintenance agreements for our Clipstream™ software, which include updates, upgrades, support and training services, accounted for approximately 20% of Clipstream™ revenues.

Our revenues decreased to $169,549 for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 from $241,033 for the quarter ended May 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $71,484 or 30%. Our revenues decreased to $568,172 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 from $824,827 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $256,655 or 31%. The decrease in our Clipstream revenues is directly attributed to the efforts involved in accelerating the development and deployment of MPE™ which we anticipate to increase revenues significantly.

Our revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2004 included $16,581 or 10% of deferred revenues under software sales completed in prior periods. Our revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 included $59,075 or 10% of deferred revenues under software sales completed in prior periods. Accordingly, revenues from sales of new software products were $152,968 or 90% for our third quarter, compared to $509,097 or 90% for the first nine months. These deferred revenues represent revenues associated with maintenance obligations performed during the quarter under software sales completed in prior periods.

We plan to continue focusing our sales and marketing efforts on our Clipstreame software products during 2004. Our plan is to continue to work closely with both current and potential customers with the objective of raising market awareness of our products and ensuring greater consumer adoption of our products with resulting higher revenues. We also anticipate that we will continue to earn revenues from our PirateRadioe software suite during the balance of 2004. In addition, we plan on continuing our development and commercialization of our MPEe software suite for the remainder of the fiscal year.

However, in the absence of increased sales from operations, we may require additional funding from external sources in order to successfully launch the PirateRadioe and MPEe software suites into major retail and commercial outlets. Accordingly, there is no assurance significant sales will be achieved.

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 increased to $91,657 for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 from $77,717 for the quarter ended May 31, 2003, an increase of $13,940 or 18%. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $20,113 to office and miscellaneous expenditures, an increase to professional fees of $4,313 offset by a decrease to wages and benefits of $10,397. The increase to office and administration is due to corporate initiatives relating to promotional and business development activities. These additional expenditures were being incurred on a monthly basis this quarter compared to no funds being allocated to these specific initiatives in the prior year quarter. Professional fees increased slightly as we were required to incur additional legal fees for our Form S-8 filed with the SEC on April 27, 2004. Wages and benefits decreased due to the reduction of benefit costs incurred as well as reduced personnel costs incurred during the quarter compared to prior year quarter.

The increase to general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase of $98,992 to office and miscellaneous expenditures, an increase of $60,622 to professional fees, an increase of $12,807 to bad debt expense offset by a reduction of $34,969 to consulting expenses. The increase to office and

5


miscellaneous expenditures resulted from us incurring a one-time charge of approximately $80,000 as well as monthly fees relating to corporate initiatives for promotional and business development activities. During the nine months ended May 31, 2004, we incurred significant legal fees to conclude the settlement of an outstanding lawsuit filed by a former employee as well as additional legal fees for the filing of our Form S-8 document with the SEC. During the same period ended May 31, 2003, we received a credit on services previously provided by our former auditors for approximately $40,000 resulting in a credit balance at period end.

The increase was due primarily to an increase of $24,729 to wages and benefits partially offset by a decrease of $3,731 to travel expenditures. The increase to wages and benefits was due to the recognition of non-cash charges resulting from stock compensation to non-employees. The decrease to travel is a result of our efforts to contain all costs and being selective regarding the meetings, events and conferences attended by our employees.

The decrease is attributable to a decrease in consulting costs of $59,341, a decrease in telecommunications of $8,933 offset by an increase of $23,587 to advertising and marketing expenses. Consulting was lower for the period ended May 31, 2004 as we incurred a significant non-recurring consulting charge in prior year for sales and marketing purposes that was not required in Fiscal 2004. Telecommunications decreased compared to prior year as we were able to negotiate new rates with new carriers and received credits on

disputed charges from prior periods with our former vendors. We increase our advertising and marketing spending during the nine months ended May 31, 2004 in anticipation of future business development.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a $17,330 decrease to wages and benefits, a $3,196 decrease to consulting expenses partially offset by an increase of $3,928 to telecommunications. Wages and benefits decreased due to the reduction of benefit costs incurred as well as reduced personnel costs being incurred during the quarter compared to prior year. Consulting decreased as we maintained our efforts to internalize all R&D projects where feasible. Telecommunications increased slightly due to the general basis of allocation during the quarter.

Research and development expenses decreased to $249,459 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 from $301,717 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, a decrease of $52,258 or 17%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease to consulting fees offset by increases to wages and benefits as well as repairs and maintenance. We also had comparable offsetting increases and decreases to rent and telecommunications respectively. Consulting was lower for the period ending May 31, 2004 as we incurred a significant non-recurring consulting charge in prior year for research and development purposes that was not required in Fiscal 2004. Wages and benefits increased slightly due to the increase in benefit costs incurred during the nine months ending May 31, 2004. Repairs and maintenance costs increased as we performed standard maintenance work on our servers during the period.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses arose from equipment and other assets. Depreciation and amortization increased to $17,752 for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 from $13,328 for the quarter ended May 31, 2003, an increase of $4,424 or 33%. Depreciation and amortization increased to $31,680 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 from $31,016 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, an increase of decrease of $664 or 2%. The increase in depreciation and

7


amortization is due to a slight increase to net book value from the acquisition of certain fixed assets and the investment in intellectual property during the first nine months of fiscal 2004.

Other Income and Expenses

Gain on extinguishment of debt amounted to $11,385 and $79,215 for the quarter and nine months ended May 31, 2004 respectively. We were successful in negotiating the extinguishment of $79,215 of liabilities relating to past services provided by various accountants, lawyers and telecommunication carriers. Interest and other income amounted $779 for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 compared to $4,498 for the same quarter ended May 31, 2003. Interest and other income amounted to $12,205 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 compared to $4,498 for the same period ended May 31, 2003. These balances consist primarily of rental revenue realized on vacant office space sublet during the period. Interest and other expense decreased to $839 for the period ended May 31, 2004 compared to $2,943 for the period ended May 31, 2003, a decrease of $2,104. Interest and other expense decreased to $5,289 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 compared to $8,366 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, a decrease of $3,077.

Income (loss) from operations

Loss from operations for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 was $126,782 compared to a loss from operations of $29,886 for the same quarter ended May 31, 2003 for an increase of $96,896. The change was a direct result of our revenues decreasing by $71,484 or 30% while our operating expenses increased by $25,412 or 9%. Net loss for the quarter ended May 31, 2004 was $115,457 compared to a net loss of $28,331.

Loss from operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 was $418,535 compared to a loss from operations of $115,956 for the same period ended May 31, 2003 for a total increase to losses of $302,579. The change was a direct result of our revenues decreasing by $256,655 or 31% while our operating expenses increased slightly by $45,924 or 5%. Net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 was $332,404 compared to net loss of $119,824 for the same period ended May 31, 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We had cash of $18,361 as at May 31, 2004 compared to cash of $6,123 as at August 31, 2003. We had a working capital deficiency of $319,643 as at May 31, 2004 compared to a working capital deficiency of $428,486 as at August 31, 2003. We had a shareholders' deficiency of $358,281 as at May 31, 2004 compared to a shareholders' deficiency of $445,744 as at August 31, 2003. The change to shareholders' deficiency is directly attributable to the private placement completed November 21, 2003 and the results of the period ended May 31, 2004.

Working Capital Deficiency

The decrease in our working capital deficiency is directly attributable to decreases to our accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable and our deferred revenue, as discussed below.

Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased to $381,645 as at May 31, 2004 from $543,281 at August 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $161,636 or 30%. The decrease resulted from the successful extinguishment of approximately $79,000 in past liabilities, from the collection and application of accounts receivable to the current liabilities, operations and the improvement to working capital from the private placement completed November 21, 2003. Our inability to further reduce our accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflects our current limitations to finance our operations completely from current product revenues.

Our loans payable increased to $19,803 as at May 31, 2004 from $10,825 as at August 31, 2003 representing an increase of $8,978. Loans payable represent funds temporarily advanced for certain initiatives. These funds will be repaid in full from funds earned in operations.

Our current deferred revenues decreased to $29,938 as at May 31, 2004 from $64,013 as at August 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $34,075 or 53%. We anticipate that our deferred revenues will

8


continue to decrease as sales for post-delivery maintenance and support packages continues to decline. We continue to recognize deferred revenue in compliance with Statement of Position No. 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition", as referred to in the notes to our audited financial statements and as discussed below under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies". Deferred revenues reflect cash received in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria as described in the notes to the financial statements. Deferred revenues result if we complete sales of our software products when significant post-delivery obligations exist. In this case, revenue is deferred until we complete the post-delivery obligations

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $264,453 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 compared to $114,381 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 representing an increase of $150,072. Net cash used by investing activities decreased from $9,060 as at May 31, 2003 to $8,400 for May 31, 2004, representing a decrease of $660. The cash used in operating and investing activities was off-set by net cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $288,388 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 compared to $101,941 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003.

Financings

We have financed our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity securities and borrowings from shareholders. When possible, we have issued common stock for services and debt settlement. We continued these financing activities through the nine months ended May 31, 2004 as our revenues to date have provided insufficient funding for our working capital requirements. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will have to continue to rely on funding from private placements, cash flows and other offerings in order to finance our future operating costs.

We entered into private placement agreements for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.15 per unit for total gross proceeds of $300,000 on November 21, 2003. A finder's fee of $30,000 was paid by us.

On May 31, 2004, 37,500 employee stock options with a strike price of $0.25 were exercised for net proceeds of $9,375.

Going Concern

We have incurred recurring losses from operations and we have a working capital deficiency. As a result, substantial doubt exists about its 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 may need additional capital through public or private financings that may not be available on reasonable terms. Accordingly, we will required 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 auditors have referred to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2003.

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.
