[b] 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.

The Company entered into a sub-lease agreement for its premises on September 15, 2010. It commenced on October 22, 2010 and will expire on October 30, 2013. The Company is committed to payments as followed:

During the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company incurred rent expense of $31,620 (2011: $56,919) which has been allocated between general and administrative expenses, research and development and sales and marketing on the statement of operations.

By a credit facilities agreement dated April 8, 2010 and amended June 17, 2011, the Company arranged for credit facilities with the Royal Bank of Canada which allows the Company to draw up to $453,500 ($450,000 CDN). These credit facilities consist of a revolving facility of $403,000 ($400,000 CDN) bearing interest at prime plus 3.5% and a commercial credit card facility to $50,500 ($50,000 CDN). Borrowings under the facilities are repayable on demand. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, no amount had been drawn on the line of credit.

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a Director effective October 1, 2010. The Company will pay $2,000 per month, plus authorized expenses. The Director will receive a 10% commission if related new businesses are successfully closed. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company paid consulting fees of $6,000 (2011: $6,000) under this agreement.

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income taxes. This 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, 2012, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of November 30, 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 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.

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, MPE Distribution, Inc. a Nevada company that was incorporated in 2007 and Sonox Digital Inc., incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 28, 2012. 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 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.

Currently, more than 95% of the Company’s revenues come from the Play MPE® digital distribution service, which the recording industry uses to distribute new pre-release music and music videos to trusted recipients before that content is generally available for sale to the public.

The remaining 5% of revenue is generated from legacy sales of Clipstream®, a playerless streaming video solution first launched in 1999. The bulk of these revenues are generated by services provided to the market research industry, which has adopted our solution because of the higher “play rates” and the higher level of security in our offering. Clipstream® powered videos are integrated into video questionnaires for use in market research surveys. The market research industry prefers our solution because the successful view rates are higher and because the security is more mature than other solutions. Videos can be secured to play only from authorized URL's and they actively block “screenscraping” programs that might try to download the video locally. In addition, videos are watermarked, so the source of unauthorized content can be identified.

This legacy technology relies on a plugin from Oracle to be bundled into the browser and the install rate of this plugin has declined significantly since launch thirteen years ago. This first generation of Clipstream® generally does not work at all on smart phones and other devices.

The introduction of new browsers supporting HTML 5 has created a new opportunity. The Company is actively developing a second generation version of Clipstream®, which works natively on almost all modern browsers. We believe this new technology is disruptive to existing paradigms as streaming video encoded in this format can be hosted from any brand of web page server and it will play directly across desktops, laptops, smart phones, tablets, e-book readers, internet enabled TV's and other devices, including future devices still under development. As the streams are served by HTTP progressive download, they can be reused potentially reducing the bandwidth and hardware infrastructure required at the source. Clipstream® G2 is cross platform which results in savings from the elimination of costs associated with re-encoding videos into multiple formats (transcoding) and costs of the extra storage, power, air conditioning, staff and facility space required by competitive offerings. The solution is playerless and does not rely on third party plug-ins.

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, VIP's, DJ's, film and TV personnel, sports stadiums and retailers. The system replaces the physical distribution (mail, courier or hand delivery) of CD's. 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® Legacy

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 or spy on them.

Clipstream® Generation 2

The Company has released a working prototype of a new disruptive second generation streaming video technology. The Company is continuing development with a goal of launching this product commercially sometime in the current fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2012

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2012 declined slightly by approximately 5% over the same period in the prior year to $1,063,867 (November 30, 2011 - $1,124,617).

Revenue from the Play MPE® system represents over 95% of our total revenues. Quarterly total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2012 declined by approximately 6% over the same period in the prior year to $1,017,713 (November 30, 2011 - $1,087,459). This decrease was largely attributable to unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations between the US dollar and the Euro.

Approximately 46% of our Play MPE® revenue is denominated in Euros for the three months ended November 30, 2012. Play MPE® revenue from Europe for the three months ended November 30, 2012 reached $468,717 (November 30, 2011 - $504,061) representing a decrease of 7%. European revenue is currently concentrated in the United Kingdom and the Scandinavian countries. Approximately 50% of Play MPE® revenue is denominated in US Dollars and 4% of Play MPE® revenue is denominated in Australia Dollars for the three months ended November 30, 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 three months ended November 30, 2012 have decreased by 23% over the same period in the prior year to $859,483 (2011 - $1,109,240). The decrease is mainly attributed to decreased professional fees as a result of the settlement of litigation reached during the third quarter of 2012.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, professional fees, and other general office expenditures.

The decrease in office and miscellaneous is related to foreign exchange gains during the current quarter, mostly as a result of fluctuations in the value of the Australian dollar, which impacts an amount receivable denominated in Australian dollars. This balance arose as a result of the settlement of litigation with a former Australian marketing representative reached during the third quarter of 2012 and is being received over the course of several years.

The decrease in professional fees is primarily the result of the settlement of litigation described above, and the resolution of a wrongful dismissal claim from a former employee in the fourth quarter of 2012. Significant costs were incurred to effect these settlements in the comparative period.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, sales commissions, advertising and promotional fees, and travel costs. The increase in wages and benefits and advertising and marketing costs is mainly due to an increased focus from our existing staff on marketing and promotional activities and other seasonal promotional activities undertaken in the current period.

Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead and consulting fees with respect to product development and deployment. Rent expense has decreased as a result of a rent abatement received during the current quarter.

Amortization

Amortization expense arose from property and equipment. Amortization increased to $27,656 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $14,375 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, an increase of $13,281 or 92.4% as a result of the development of new Clipstream® applications and the resulting applications made for various patents and trademarks to protect these products.

Other earnings and expenses

Interest income increased to $20,666 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $2,812 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, an increase of $17,854. This is a result of interest income earned on the amount receivable pursuant to the litigation settlement described above.

Interest expense decreased to $Nil for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $634 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, a decrease of $634.

Net income

During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we have net income of $160,050 (November 30, 2011– net income of $12,555). The increase in net income during the period is the result of a large decrease in professional fees, partially offset by increased salaries and wages costs due to additional staff.

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 $1,145,713 as at November 30, 2012 (August 31, 2012 - $1,275,423). The decrease in our cash was mainly due to a decrease in accounts payable. We had working capital of $1,881,463 as at November 30, 2012 compared to working capital of $1,641,032 as at August 31, 2012.

CASHFLOWS

Net cash used in operating activities was $99,873 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, compared to net cash used of $144,740 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The main reason for the decrease in net cash flows used in the operating activities was primarily due to cash receipts from a long term receivable arising from a legal settlement in the third quarter of 2012, as well as a decrease in accounts payable as a result of the payment of final legal bills associated with this legal settlement.

The cash used in investing activities was $27,151 for the three months ended November 30, 2012. The net cash used in investing activities was $39,816 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. Cash used in investing activities are largely attributable to the development of new Clipstream® applications and the resulting applications made for various patents and trademarks to protect these products.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $Nil for the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to net cash used of $2,987 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The change is mainly the result of final payments of capital lease obligations in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

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's adoption of this guidance resulted in a change to the presentation of other comprehensive income. Previously the components of other comprehensive income were presented in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Upon the adoption of this guidance, the components of other comprehensive income are presented on the statement of comprehensive income, immediately after the presentation of net income.

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's adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's 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 6 of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012.

If management’s 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 $882,000.

Contingencies

As discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10−Q under the heading “Legal Proceedings” and in Note 8 “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 management’s 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 three months ended November 30, 2012, net fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Euro relative to the US dollar compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011 resulted in a net decrease of net income of approximately $50,000.

ITEM 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company’s 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 November 30, 2012.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there are material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, which are as follows:

• Due to the limited number of staff resources, the Company believes there are instances where a lack of segregation of duties exist to provide effective controls;
• Our audit committee does not have a financial expert and is not independent; and
• Due to the limited number of staff resources, the Company may not have the necessary in-house knowledge to address complex accounting and tax issues that may arise.

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 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

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. The Company has filed a counterclaim for damages arising from a proposed private placement in 2000 which did not close. The Company alleges that the beneficial owner of Noramco was a partner in the firm that was leading the proposed financing.

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, 2012 filed with the SEC on November 29, 2012. 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.

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

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.

On December 6, 2012, the board of directors authorized a new tranche to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a maximum share purchase price of $1.00 per share. Repurchases will be at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate and will be made through open market transactions. All repurchases will be made in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The board approved stock repurchase program runs through May 31, 2013. In addition to the applicable securities laws, the Company will not make any purchases during a time at which its insiders are subject to a blackout from trading in the Company’s common shares.

As at January 14, 2013, the Company had repurchase 156,650 common shares to be returned to the treasury for cancellation pursuant to this stock repurchase program.
