During the six months ended February 28, 2010, 336,000 shares were issued in a cashless exercise of 600,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.22.

[b] Cancelled

During the six months ended February 28, 2010, the Company repurchased 311,000 shares at an open market, of which it paid $92,994 for 194,800 shares and $49,670 for 116,200 shares.

[c] Stock option plans

The Company has two existing stock option plans (the “Plans”), namely the Amended 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Stock Option Plan, under which up to 3,750,000 and 5,100,000 shares of the common stock, respectively, have been reserved for issuance. A total of 816,334 common shares remain eligible for issuance under the plans. The options generally vest over a range of periods from the date of grant, some are immediate, and others are 12 or 24 months. Any options that do not vest as the result of a grantee leaving the Company are forfeited and the common shares underlying them are returned to the reserve. The options generally have a contractual term of five years.

Stock-based Payment Award Activity

A summary of option activity under the Plans as of August 31, 2009, and changes during the six-month period ended February 28, 2010 is presented below:

3. SHARE CAPITAL (cont’d.)

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock for the options that were in-the-money at February 28, 2010.

As a FASB standard requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended February 28, 2010 has considerations for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures.

During the six months ended February 28, 2010, total stock-based compensation expense related to employees of $54,332 is reported in the statement of operations as follows:

    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    February 28     February 28     February 28     February 28  
    2010     2009     2010     2009

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     Six Months Ended  
    February 28 February 28     February 28     February 28  
    2010     2009     2010     2009  
Expected term of stock options (years)   0.55-2.5         0.55-2.5     1.6-2.5  
Expected volatility   76%-86%         76%-86%      88%-96%   
Risk-free interest rate   0.2%-1%         0.2%-1%     0.9%-1%  
Dividend yield                

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s 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 six months ended February 28, 2010, 50,000 options were granted, 300,000 options were extended to one more year and 150,000 options were extended to five more years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted and extended during the six month period ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 was $0.11 and $0.01, respectively.

During the six months ended February 28, 2010, 150,000 options at an exercise price of $0.25 were repurchased by the Company for a consideration of $30,000.

As of February 28, 2010 there was $466 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 9 months.

6. 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 enterprise’s 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 Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended August 31, 1999 through August 31, 2009, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of February 28, 2010. 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 Company’s 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.

7. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in three actions with a competitor in Canada (Yangaroo Inc. “Yangaroo”, formerly Musicrypt Inc.) regarding various patent claims as described below:

  a)

On March 7, 2006, the Company filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Canada against Yangaroo (the “Defendant”) to assert that the Company’s technology does not infringe on the stated patent owned by the Defendant and to further declare that Defendant’s patent is invalid. On June 7, 2006, the Company’s counsel received a statement of defense and counterclaim from the Defendant, requesting specified damages or audited profits from the Play MPE® system sourced to Canada.

     
  b)

On May 3, 2007, the Company filed a claim in Ontario Superior Court against the Defendant (Yangaroo Inc.), Chief Executive Officer of the Defendant and Chief Financial Officer of the Defendant (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 Company’s economic relations. On June 7, 2007, the Defendant filed a statement of defense and counterclaim against the Company for the same amount and for the same causes.

On May 12, 2009, the Company was served with a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin by the Defendant (the “Claimant”) in the Canadian litigation above, alleging that the Company infringes on its recently issued one method claim in United States Patent No. 7,529,712. On September 18, 2009 the Company filed an Answer, which included a statement of its defenses. One defense the Company has asserted is the patent claim has limitations regarding operations on a server and as the Company’s servers are outside the United States, the Claimant’s U.S. patent cannot be asserted against the Company. On October 13, 2009 the U.S. District Court issued a scheduling order that limits discovery in the U.S. case to the Company’s defense of “extraterritoriality” and that the Court will entertain a motion for summary judgment by the Company dismissing the case on that basis alone, prior to further discovery, if any. On February 12, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss this complaint.

     
 

It is management’s opinion that the Claimant was sufficiently aware of the location of Company’s servers well prior to the date it brought suit and, given Claimant’s duty to investigate the law regarding extraterritoriality prior to bringing suit, this case is improper. As a result, the Company will be seeking legal costs from the Claimant, if successful. In response to the Company's first requested responses to admit, on January 7, 2010, the Claimant's attorneys formally admitted on the court record that the Claimant has no evidence that Company's servers are in the U.S. and that based on the evidence in the case, Destiny's servers are not located in the United States.

The amount of damages awarded to the Company or the Defendants/Claimant, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated and no amount has been recognized in the financial statements. Management believes it is unlikely that the outcome of these matters will have an adverse impact on its result of operations and financial condition.

On August 12, 2009 the Company received a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from a former employee for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract. The claim was for approximately $180,000 CDN plus an award of stock options and unspecified damages. The Company believes the claim is completely without merit and will vigorously defend its position and reputation and filed a response on September 11, 2009. Management believes it is unlikely that the outcome of this matter will have an adverse impact on its result of operations and financial condition.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. Effective September 1, 2009, references made to FASB guidance throughout this consolidated financial statements have been updated for the Codification. Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The new accounting standard requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since the new accounting standard only required additional disclosure, the adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 810, Consolidations. The new accounting standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (or minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by requiring all noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the same way, as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As such, this guidance has eliminated the diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which delayed the effective date for disclosing all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont’d.)

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for determining when a transaction is not orderly and for estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, requires disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used, as well as any changes in valuation techniques and inputs used during the period, to measure fair value in interim and annual periods.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, provides clarification that in certain circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a company is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques: the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, the quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements. The new guidance clarifies that a company is not required to include an adjustment for restrictions that prevent the transfer of the liability and if an adjustment is applied to the quoted price used in a valuation technique, the result is a Level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, The new standard requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies in addition to the annual disclosure required at year-end. The provisions of the new standard were effective for the interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for subsequent events. The new guidance, which is part of ASC 855, Subsequent Events is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont’d.)

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” and “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” providing guidance on accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products and services separately rather than as a combined unit. The guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The new guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This Update removes tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality from the scope of the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605 of the Codification. Additionally, ASU 2009-14 provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software that is not essential to the product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 requires the same expanded disclosures that are included within ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. A company is required to adopt the amendments in both ASU 2009-13 and 2009-14 in the same period using the same transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-14 on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, “Subsequent Events”. This Update clarifies the financial statement issuance dates that potentially conflict with some of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance. The amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Destiny's board of directors authorized a program beginning November 20, 2009 to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a maximum share purchase price of $0.80 per share.

OUR PRODUCTS

Destiny develops and markets solutions which enable media owners to securely distribute their digital media content globally through the internet. The Company has two main product lines: MPE® enables content to be transferred permanently to authorized recipients, so they possess it the way they would CD or DVD. Clipstream® is analogous to radio or TV where content is streamed to the viewer in a transient manner.

The MPE® Product Line

MPE® enables the secure download of audio or video to a user’s computer and consists of two products: Play MPE® and PODDS.

Security is provided by patented and patent pending technologies, which give record labels the choice of locking content so that only authorized devices can play it or allowing copies, but embedding tracking information so the source of unauthorized copies can be traced:



  1.

Digital Locking technology: "Digital Media Distribution Method and System" (US 20020146122, WIPO 01/65796) issued on Dec. 16, 2008. This method uniquely identifies a device and permits playback of content on the authorized machine and not on any other computer or device.

     
  2.

Digital Trace: "Methods for Watermarking Media Data" (US 20080098022) was published in April 2008 and is currently pending review. Using this method a trace is embedded in each digital file identifying the source of copies.

A) Play MPE®
http://www.plaympe.com
http://www.myplaympe.com

The Play MPE® service is currently our main offering in this line and is a system for securely moving pre-release music to radio stations, media, buyers, film and TV, DJ’s, stadiums, VIP’s and other trusted recipients. All four Major Record Labels (Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, EMI and Sony Music) use the Play MPE® service commercially for sending their pre-release music.

The system is highly automated where label staff, each with their own access rights, collaborate using encoder tools to upload album artwork, broadcast quality music and video, meta data, photos, marketing materials, meta data and localized copy, release dates and recipient lists. Optional email alerts that new music is available are automatically generated based on selectable templates. The system detects whether a recipient is in the system and automatically sends them an email explaining how to download the software to access the new content.

Packages of new content (music, associated graphics, music video, liner notes, etc.) automatically appear in a library of available content, custom to each recipient. The recipient would use either a browser or custom player software developed by Destiny (Mac/Windows/iPhone) to stream or download the content in a locked format. If they have the rights, they can export into any standard industry format or burn to CD. Destiny has partnered with leading radio automation vendors so that song meta data can be exported into third party tools.

Proprietary Play MPE® player access software is currently available in twenty-four languages in versions for web browsers, the Mac, PC and the iPhone.

B) Podds
http://www.podds.ca

This online music store solution facilitates the sale of new music through proprietary player software with integrated e-commerce functionality. It was originally launched as a solution to sell music Destiny licensed to DJ’s, clubs and internet enabled digital jukeboxes, but based on a low return on investment, management has reduced focus on this opportunity. The system remains as a proof of concept which is available to be licensed to third party music retailers who could license and rebrand the solution to securely sell music to their customers.

The Clipstream® Product Line

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. Unlike Flash, multiple Clipstream® objects can play on the same page and the content can be uploaded to any website. Clipstream® uses up to 90% less bandwidth than these three solutions while providing a 98% playback rate, including across devices other than computers. Because there is no special player or server and everything is standards based, Clipstream® content never has to be re-encoded as technologies change.

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® is a standards based technology built around the cross platform Java language, supported natively by most operating systems and devices.

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 SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010

Revenue

Total revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2010 grew by 88% over the same period in the prior year to $1,917,392 (February 28, 2009 - $1,022,049). The growth in revenue is driven by the growth in our Play MPE® system, where access fees have reached $1,779,438 (February 28, 2009 - $864,931) or more than double the amount from the same period of the previous year. The increases in revenue from Play MPE® have been realized across the expansion into Europe and Australia throughout the calendar year of 2009. Play MPE® revenue from Europe for the six months ended February 28, 2010 reached $610,723 (February 28, 2009 - $55,830) or increased by 994%. Play MPE® revenue from Australia for the six months ended February 28, 2010 reached $92,054 (February 28, 2009 - $30,250) or increased by 204%. We expect that Play MPE® service fees to continue to grow throughout all geographic regions in 2010.

Our revenues for the quarter increased to $869,864 which represents an increase of 86% over the same period in the prior year. The increase is driven by a 105% increase to Play MPE® system access fees. As a result of the seasonality of new track releases, we had anticipated a reduction in the use of the Play MPE® system during the latter half of December and early part of January as our record label clients have relatively less activity due to seasonal holidays.

During the six months ended February 28, 2010 approximately 7% of our revenues are derived from sales of our Clipstream® software.


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 Euros and US dollars. As a result, our results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the relevant exchange rates.

Operating expenditures for the six months ended February 28, 2010 has increased by 21% over the same period in the prior year to $1,526,045 (2008 - $1,263,113). Operating expenditures for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 have increased over the previous quarter by approximately 3% and by 30% over the same quarter of the previous year. Both of the increase from the same period of last year for the three months ended and the six months ended February 28, 2010 are due in part to the increased professional fees related to the litigation and increased stock compensation expense.

Included in our expenses are non-cash amortization and stock compensation expense of $78,452 (2009 -$51,573) leading to a net income before non-cash items of $528,301 for the six months ended February 28, 2010.

Our rent expense of $157,625 is offset by our sub-lease rental income of $58,261 which is included in “Other income’’ in the Statement of Operations.

    512,526     358,905     153,621     42.8%  

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 professional fees is due primarily to an increase of the volume of litigation work encountered during the quarter. Management experienced a recovery of older accounts receivable that were previously allowed in our provision for bad debts. We have tightened up credit policies which are expected to reduce this expenditure going forward.

    393,488     441,212     (47,724 )   (10.8% )


Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, sales commissions, advertising and promotional fees, and travel costs. We experienced a slight decrease in total costs due in part to marketing costs experienced in the prior year. We have structured the Play MPE® digital delivery system in a manner which facilitates internal marketing with our customers. We have also partnered with industry leaders including our agreement to integrate with RCS Sound Software, the world’s largest broadcast software provider, announced during the quarter, which facilitates our global expansion.

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 primarily due to additional staff.

Amortization

Amortization expense arose from property and equipment. Amortization increased to $24,120 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 from $16,732 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, an increase of $7,388 or 44%.

Other earnings and expenses

Other income decreased to $58,310 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 from $60,122 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, a decrease of $1,812.

Interest income increased to $2,065 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 from $1,106 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, an increase of $959.

Interest expense increased to $1,873 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 from $1,589 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, an increase of $284.

Net income (loss)

During the six months ended February 28, 2010, we have net income of $449,849 (February 28, 2009 – loss of $181,425). The profit realized during the period is the result of steady improvements of the Company’s revenue. Earnings before interest income and expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reached $528,109 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to a loss of $129,369 over the same period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We had cash of $304,811 as at February 28, 2010 (August 31, 2009 - $253,100). We had working capital of $1,007,506 as at February 28, 2010 compared to working capital of $658,673 as at August 31, 2009. The steady improvements in our cash position seen in fiscal 2009 (year ended August 31, 2009), has continued into fiscal 2010. Cash has increased by more than $51,000 compared to year ended August 31, 2009 in spite of a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of in excess of $132,000, repayments of shareholder loans of approximately $70,000 and repurchase of shares and options of approximately $172,000.


CASH FLOWS

Net cash generated in operating activities was $309,006 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to $131,207 used for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The improvement in cash flow of $440,213 is primarily the result an increase in total revenue of approximately $900,000 which is partially offset by an improvement our working capital ratio through a reduction in accounts payable.

The cash used in investing activities was $14,651 for the six months ended February 28, 2010. There was no cash used or provided in investing activities for the six months ended February 28, 2009.

Net cash used by financing activities was $248,148 for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to net cash provided of $58,720 for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The difference from prior year is the result of utilizing the positive cash flow from operations to eliminate long term loans and to repurchase common shares outstanding.

Our cash from operation was able to provide sufficient funds during the fiscal year end of August 31, 2009 and continue to the fiscal year of 2010. We anticipated our cash flow from operation will continue to increase during the fiscal year of 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. Effective September 1, 2009, references made to FASB guidance throughout this consolidated financial statements have been updated for the Codification.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The new accounting standard requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since the new accounting standard only required additional disclosure, the adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 810, Consolidations. The new accounting standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (or minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by requiring all noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the same way, as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As such, this guidance has eliminated the diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which delayed the effective date for disclosing all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for determining when a transaction is not orderly and for estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, requires disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used, as well as any changes in valuation techniques and inputs used during the period, to measure fair value in interim and annual periods.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, provides clarification that in certain circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a company is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques: the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, the quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements. The new guidance clarifies that a company is not required to include an adjustment for restrictions that prevent the transfer of the liability and if an adjustment is applied to the quoted price used in a valuation technique, the result is a Level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, The new standard requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies in addition to the annual disclosure required at year-end. The provisions of the new standard were effective for the interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for subsequent events. The new guidance, which is part of ASC 855, Subsequent Events is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” and “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” providing guidance on accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products and services separately rather than as a combined unit. The guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The new guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This Update removes tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality from the scope of the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605 of the Codification. Additionally, ASU 2009-14 provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software that is not essential to the product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 requires the same expanded disclosures that are included within ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue


arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. A company is required to adopt the amendments in both ASU 2009-13 and 2009-14 in the same period using the same transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-14 on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, “Subsequent Events”. This Update clarifies the financial statement issuance dates that potentially conflict with some of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance. The amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated 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.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at February 28, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management concluded that there are material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, which are as follows:

As a result of these weaknesses, the Company’s 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 significant 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

The Company is involved in three actions with a competitor in Canada (Yangaroo Inc. “Yangaroo”, formerly Musicrypt Inc.) regarding various patent claims as described below:

  a)

On March 7, 2006, the Company filed a statement of claim in the Federal Court of Canada against Yangaroo (the “Defendant”) to assert that the Company’s technology does not infringe on the stated patent owned by the Defendant and to further declare that Defendant’s patent is invalid. On June 7, 2006, the Company’s counsel received a statement of defense and counterclaim from the Defendant, requesting specified damages or audited profits from the Play MPE® system sourced to Canada.

  b)

On May 3, 2007, the Company filed a claim in Ontario Superior Court against the Defendant (Yangaroo Inc.), Chief Executive Officer of the Defendant and Chief Financial Officer of the Defendant (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 Company’s economic relations. On June 7, 2007, the Defendant filed a statement of defense and counterclaim against the Company for the same amount and for the same causes.

  c)

On May 12, 2009, the Company was served with a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin by the Defendant (the “Claimant”) in the Canadian litigation above, alleging that the Company infringes on its recently issued one method claim in United States Patent No. 7,529,712. On September 18, 2009 the Company filed an Answer, which included a statement of its defenses. One defense the Company has asserted is the patent claim has limitations regarding operations on a server and as the Company’s servers are outside the United States, the Claimant’s U.S. patent cannot be asserted against the Company. On October 13, 2009 the U.S. District Court issued a scheduling order that limits discovery in the U.S. case to the Company’s defense of “extraterritoriality” and that the Court will entertain a motion for summary judgment by the Company dismissing the case on that basis alone, prior to further discovery, if any. On February 12, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss this complaint.

     
 

It is management’s opinion that the Claimant was sufficiently aware of the location of Company’s servers well prior to the date it brought suit and, given Claimant’s duty to investigate the law regarding extraterritoriality prior to bringing suit, this case is improper. As a result, the Company will be seeking legal costs from the Claimant, if successful. In response to the Company's first requested responses to admit, on January 7, 2010, the Claimant's attorneys formally admitted on the court record that the Claimant has no evidence that Company's servers are in the U.S. and that based on the evidence in the case, Destiny's servers are not located in the United States.

The amount of damages awarded to the Company or the Defendants/Claimant, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated and no amount has been recognized in the financial statements. Management believes it is unlikely that the outcome of these matters will have an adverse impact on its result of operations and financial condition. On August 12, 2009, the Company received a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from a former employee for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract. The claim was for approximately $180,000 CDN plus an award of stock options and unspecified damages. The Company believes the claim is completely without merit and will vigorously defend its position and reputation and filed a response on September 11, 2009. Management believes it is unlikely that the outcome of this matter will have an adverse impact on its result of operations and financial condition.

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/A for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2010. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K/A 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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.
