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.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, 900,000 options exercisable at $0.50, previously issued to directors and officers of the Company, expired. 900,000 replacement options, also immediately exercisable at $0.50, were issued upon expiry for an additional two years. 450,000 options granted to employees, not listed as expired above, were extended by two years with no changes to other terms. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted and extended during the nine month period ended May 31, 2012 was $0.03. As a result of the extension of the life of 450,000 options, the Company recorded an incremental value of $13,519 as part of the total stock-based compensation of $42,797 on the statements of operations during the nine months ended May 31, 2012. During the nine months ended May 31, 2011, there were no options granted.

Previously, the Company had issued a $97,720 ($100,000 AUD) letter of guarantee associated with the litigation described in Note 8(b), which was cancelled during the nine months ended May 31, 2012.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company paid consulting fees of $18,000 (May 31, 2011: $16,000).
7. INCOME TAX
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income taxes. The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements 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. The standard 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 August 31, 2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of May 31, 2012. The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Companys financial results. In the event the Company has received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

a) |
On August 12, 2009 the Company received a statement of claim for wrongful dismissal for approximately $181,000 ($180,000 CDN) plus an award of stock options and unspecified damages. | |
On April 16, 2012, a judgment was received in the Companys favor dismissing the claim in its entirety. In rendering the decision, the judge found multiple causes for dismissal and awarded costs to the Company. An application for double costs has been filed which is expected to be heard during the fourth quarter. No amount for this cost award has been accrued as receivable in these financial statements. This judgment has been appealed by the claimant. | ||
b) |
On June 10, 2011, the Company commenced proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against Shooting Star Picture Company Pty Ltd, Peter Skillman and D-Star Music Delivery Pty Ltd. (collectively the respondents). The Company alleged various claims against the respondents including, breach of contract, misleading and deceptive conduct, breach of fiduciary duties, and breach of confidence. | |
On March 5, 2012, the Company reached a settlement with the respondents whereby the respondents will pay $825,000 AUD (US $858,887) to the Company over the course of 72 months. The unpaid balance will attract interest of 10.25% per annum compounded monthly for total payments of approximately $1,083,000 AUD (US $1,058,000). The respondents are mutually and severally liable and the payments are secured by a lien against real property located in Australia. Additionally, the respondents have agreed not to approach various clients of the Company. | ||
The settlement amount receivable has been accrued in these financial statements as of May 31, 2012 [note 3]. | ||
c) |
On November 8, 2011, the Company was served with a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from Noramco Capital Corporation for $100,000 plus interest. The claim asserts that the Company has repudiated a subscription agreement entered into in, around, August 2000. Management believes the claim is without merit and that the likelihood of an outcome in this matter that will have a material adverse impact on its result of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Company is remote. |

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent adopted accounting pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The objective of this Update is to address the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. Specifically, an employee share-based payment award denominated in a currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition and therefore would not classify the award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This standard is effective for the Company on September 1, 2011. The Companys adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This Update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs and they explain how to measure fair value and they do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entitys shareholders equity in the financial statements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, among other amendments in this Update. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 20115 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW AND CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in August 1998 under the laws of the State of Colorado. We carry out our business operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Destiny Software Productions Inc., a British Columbia company that was incorporated in 1992, and MPE Distribution, Inc. a Nevada company that was incorporated in 2007. The "Company", "Destiny" or "we" refers to the consolidated activities of all three companies.
Our principal executive office is located at Suite 750, PO Box 11527, 650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 4N7. Our telephone number is (604) 609-7736 and our facsimile number is (604) 609-0611.
Our common stock trades on TSX Venture Exchange in Canada under the symbol "DSY", on the OTCBB and OTCQX under the symbol "DSNY", and on various German exchanges (Frankfurt, Berlin, Stuttgart and Xetra) under the symbol DME, WKN 935 410.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Destiny develops and markets services that enable the secure distribution of digital media content over the internet. Destiny services are based around proprietary security, watermarking and playerless streaming media technologies.
The current offerings include the Play MPE® secure distribution network, which the recording industry uses to distribute new pre-release music, and the Clipstream® instant play streaming media solutions.
Currently, more than 95% of the Company' s revenues come from the Play MPE® digital distribution service. The remaining revenue is derived from recurring revenues for secure Clipstream® powered market research video questionnaires.
Play MPE®
Play MPE® is a digital delivery service for securely moving broadcast quality audio, video, images, promotional information and other digital content securely through the internet. The system is currently used by the recording industry for transferring pre-release broadcast quality music, radio shows, and music videos to trusted recipients such as radio stations, media reviewers, VIPs, DJs, film and TV personnel, sports stadiums and retailers. The system replaces the physical distribution (mail, courier or hand delivery) of CDs. As with traditional physical delivery, our fees are based on the size of the content and number of recipients.
More than 1,000 record labels, including all four major labels (Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, EMI and Sony), are regularly using Play MPE® to deliver their content to radio.
Clipstream®
Clipstream® is an innovative "instant play" solution for playback of streaming audio and streaming video. Unlike Windows Media Player or Quicktime, there is no player that has to launch for the content to playback. The Clipstream® software suite enables audio or video content to be streamed so that the media plays instantly and automatically when the user initiates playback. Creating streaming video content with other technologies can be a complicated process and in most 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® encoded content plays instantly in most cases, without requiring the user to download CODECS or player software. This results in a much higher play rate for site owners and because there is no player executable, users are not exposed to viruses, trojan horses or unstable code that could crash their computer.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2012
Revenue
Total revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 declined slightly by approximately 1% over the same period in the prior year to $3,042,363 (May 31, 2011 - $3,074,183).
Revenue from the Play MPE® system represents over 95% of our total revenues. Play MPE® access fee revenue was $2,916,868 (May 31, 2011 - $2,930,782) for the nine months period ended May 31, 2012. The Play MPE® delivery service continues to see high growth in usage spread over Europe.
Quarterly total revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2012 declined by approximately 13% over the same period in the prior year to $1,022,921 (May 31, 2011 - $1,176,473). The Play MPE® system saw access fee revenue reduced to $985,397 (May 31, 2011 - $1,141,204) for the three months period ended May 31, 2012, representing a 14% decrease over the same period in the prior year. This decrease was largely attributable to the application of a one-time minimum annual fee applied during the comparative period. European revenue continues to grow and increased approximately 11% compared to the three months ended May 31, 2011. European revenue is currently concentrated in the United Kingdom and the Scandinavian countries.
Approximately 42% of our Play MPE® revenue is denominated in Euros for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. Play MPE® revenue from Europe for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 reached $1,280,659 (May 31, 2011 - $1,070,909) representing an increase of 20%. Approximately 54% of Play MPE® revenue is denominated in US Dollars and 4% of Play MPE® revenue is denominated in Australia Dollars for the nine months ended May 31, 2012.
Operating Expenses
Overview
As our technologies and products are developed and maintained in-house, the majority of our expenditures is on salaries and wages and associated expenses; office space, supplies and benefits. Our operations are primarily conducted in Canada and the majority of our costs are incurred in Canadian dollars while the majority of our revenue is in US dollars and Euros. As a result, our results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the relevant exchange rates.
Total operating expenditures for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 have decreased by 7% over the same period in the prior year to $2,505,812 (2011 - $2,716,599). The decrease is mainly attributed to the settlement of a litigation reached during the period, offset by increased professional fees associated with that litigation.

The increase in office and miscellaneous is related to increased expenditures on investor relations activities.

Our litigation costs primarily consist of fees associated with an Australian claim against a former marketing representative and a wrongful dismissal claim from a former employee. Both of these legal claims were successfully resolved during the third quarter and we expect our legal costs will dramatically decrease moving into our fourth quarter. Prior year costs were associated with litigation against a competitor in Canada which was also successfully resolved in the last quarter of fiscal 2011.
During the current quarter, we recorded a lump sum accrual of $858,887 ($825,000 AUD) receivable pursuant to a settlement reached with the former marketing representative. The wrongful dismissal claim was dismissed in its entirety and Destiny was awarded costs. No amount for this cost award has been reflected in the financial results.

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 increased staffing due to an increased ongoing investment in building out the functionality of our Play MPE® and the development of our cross platform streaming video prototype. This video solution may substantially reduce the costs of transcoding and maintaining various video formats.
Amortization
Amortization expense arose from property and equipment. Amortization increased slightly to $54,987 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from $44,313 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $10,674 or 24.1% as a result of the development of new Play MPE® applications and applications made for various patents and trademarks.
Other earnings and expenses
Other income increased to $4,462 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from $3,073 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $1,389.
Interest income increased to $27,619 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from $6,527 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $21,092. This is a result of interest income earned on the amount receivable pursuant to the litigation settlement.
Interest expense increased to $1,186 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from $628 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $558.
Net income
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, we have net income of $377,446 (May 31, 2011 net income of $260,556). The increase in net income during the period is the result of a net decrease in professional fees, offset by increased shareholder relations events and increased salaries and wages costs due to additional staff.
During the period, there was a net recovery of litigation costs of approximately $181,000, compared to litigation costs of approximately $420,000 in the same period in the prior year, a decrease in overall spending of $601,000.
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We used Adjusted EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA helps us to compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments and the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to Adjusted EBITDA provide further clarity on our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and expected life of the equity instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash payments by us. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the effect of asset impairments. The following is a reconciliation of net income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We had cash of $1,139,576 as at May 31, 2012 (August 31, 2011 - $1,238,173). The decrease in our cash was mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in a long term receivables, and the purchase of property and equipment. We had working capital of $1,463,187 as at May 31, 2012 compared to working capital of $1,354,115 as at August 31, 2011.
CASHFLOWS
Net cash used in operating activities was $162,978 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to net cash generated of $330,786 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011. Although our revenue was consistent with the comparative period in 2011, the main decrease in net cash flows in the operating activities was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and an increase in a long term receivables arising from a legal settlement, the proceeds of which are being received over a period of several years. As of the date of this report, we have collected more than 90% of the accounts receivable at May 31, 2012.
The cash used in investing activities was $145,576 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. The net cash used in investing activities was $56,928 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011. The increase is attributable to the development of new Play MPE® applications and applications made for various patents and trademarks.
Net cash provided in financing activities was $255,757 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 compared to net cash used of $309,108 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011. The change is mainly the result of the proceeds received from the exercise of warrants and the halt of share buyback in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, " Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" . The objective of this Update is to address the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. Specifically, an employee share-based payment award denominated in a currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity' s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition and therefore would not classify the award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This standard is effective for the Company on September 1, 2011. The Company' s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company' s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, " Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)" . This Update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS" ). The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs and they explain how to measure fair value and they do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity' s shareholders' equity in the financial statements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, " Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" . The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, among other amendments in this Update. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, " Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" . The amendments in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011—5 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board' s (" FASB" ) Accounting Standards Codification (" ASC" ) 985-605, Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is considered probable.
The majority of our revenue is generated from digital media distribution service. The service is billed on usage which is based on the volume and size of distributions provided on a monthly basis. All revenues are recognized on a monthly basis as the services are delivered to customers, except where extended payment terms exist. Such revenues are only recognized when the extended payment term expires.
At present, the Company does not have yet have a standard business practice for contracts that contain extended payment terms, and therefore recognizes revenue from such contracts when the payment terms lapse and all other revenue criteria have been met.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize the costs of employee services received in share-based payment transactions according to the fair value provisions of the current share-based payment guidance. The fair value of employee services received in stock-based payment transactions is estimated at the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected life.
We selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value of our share-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option' s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Our current estimate of volatility is based on historical and market-based implied volatilities of our stock price. To the extent volatility of our stock price increases in the future, our estimates of the fair value of options granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing stock-based compensation cost recognized in future periods. We derive the expected term assumption primarily based on our historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to options that have not yet completed a full life cycle. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized only for awards ultimately expected to vest. Our estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily on our historical experience. To the extent we revise this estimate in the future, our share-based compensation cost could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in the following quarters. In the future, as empirical evidence regarding these input estimates is available to provide more directionally predictive results, we may change or refine our approach of deriving these input estimates.
Research and Development Expense for Software Products
Research and development expense includes costs incurred to develop intellectual property. The costs for the development of new software and substantial enhancements to existing software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. We have determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of software is completed. Because we believe our current process for developing software will be essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, no costs have been capitalized to date.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of any amounts identified for capitalization as software development costs in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period material differences in the amount and timing of capitalized development costs could occur.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We extend credit to our customers based on evaluation of an individual customer's financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Accounts outstanding beyond the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are beyond the contractual payment terms, our previous loss history, and a customer's current ability to pay its obligation to us. We write-off accounts receivable when they are identified as uncollectible. All outstanding accounts receivable accounts are periodically reviewed for collectability on an individual basis.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values using the enacted income tax rates by tax jurisdiction at each balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions. The valuation of deferred income tax assets is reviewed annually and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We evaluate all available evidence, such as recent and expected future operating results by tax jurisdiction, and current and enacted tax legislation and other temporary differences between book and tax accounting to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. There is a risk that management estimates for operating results could vary significantly from actual results, which could materially affect the valuation of the future income tax asset. Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards and other deferred income tax assets, management has determined certain of these deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not criteria, and accordingly, these deferred income tax asset amounts have been partially offset by a valuation allowance as disclosed in Note 5 of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011.
If managements estimates of the cash flows or operating results do not materialize due to errors in estimates or unforeseen changes to the economic conditions affecting the Company, it could result in an impairment adjustment in future periods up to the carrying value of the deferred income tax balance of $965,000.
Contingencies
As discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10−Q under the heading Legal Proceedings and in Note 7 Contingencies in Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is subject from time to time to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with US GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment required in both the probability determination and as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In managements opinion, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceedings and claims that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. However, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should several of these legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets including tangible assets in accordance with authoritative guidance. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we recognize such impairment in the event the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. We have not recorded any impairment losses to date.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our revenues are primarily in United States dollars and Euros while our operating expenses are primarily in Canadian dollars. Thus, operating expenses and the results of operations are impacted to the extent they are not hedged by the rise and fall of the relative values of Canadian dollar to these currencies. During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, net fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Euro relative to the US dollar compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2011 did not have a significant impact on the Company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Companys management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as at May 31, 2012.
Based on that evaluation, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there are material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, which are as follows:
As a result of these weaknesses, the Companys disclosure controls are not effective. The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company the size of Destiny Media because of limitations in size and number of staff.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
a) |
On August 12, 2009 the Company received a statement of claim for wrongful dismissal for approximately $181,000 ($180,000 CDN) plus an award of stock options and unspecified damages. On April 16, 2012, a judgment was received in the Companys favor, dismissing the claim in its entirety. In rendering the decision, the judge found multiple causes for dismissal and awarded costs to the Company. An application for double costs has been filed which is expected to be heard in the fourth quarter. No amount for this cost award has been accrued in the financial statements as at May 31, 2012. This judgment has been appealed by the claimant. |
b) |
On June 10, 2011, the Company commenced proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against Shooting Star Picture Company Pty Ltd, Peter Skillman and D-Star Music Delivery Pty Ltd. (collectively the respondents). The Company alleged various claims against the respondents including, breach of contract, misleading and deceptive conduct, breach of fiduciary duties, and breach of confidence. | |
On March 5, 2012, the Company reached a settlement with the respondents whereby the Company will receive from the respondents $825,000 Australian dollars (US $858,887) over the course of 72 months. The unpaid balance will attract interest of 10.25% per annum compounded monthly for total payments of approximately $1,083,000 Australian dollars (US $1,058,000). The respondents are mutually and severally liable and the payments are secured by a lien against real property located in Australia.

c) |
On November 8, 2011, the Company was served with a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from Noramco Capital Corporation for $100,000 plus interest. The claim asserts that the Company has repudiated a subscription agreement entered into in, or around, August 2000. Management believes the claim is without merit and that the likelihood of an outcome in this matter that will have a material adverse impact on its result of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Company is remote. |
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1 Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on November 29, 2011. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K have not changed materially, however, they are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
