DIGITAL BRAND MEDIA & MARKETING GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Business and History of the Company
Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) is an OTC:QB listed company. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on September 29, 1998.
In 2006, the Company identified a business in digital technology, social media marketing and online global payment systems in the UK which lent itself to both organic growth and growth by acquisition. From that time, we had been evolving the Business Plan to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks inherent in a challenging economic environment. Initially, all of these efforts were conducted under the contractual requirements of a Share Exchange Agreement. On March 20, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited ("ANHL"), New Media Television (Europe) Limited ("NMTV"), and Certain Outside Stockholders to acquire all of the outstanding shares of NMTV. ANHL was a Guernsey company limited by shares and NMTV is a United Kingdom private company limited by shares. The transaction was subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the filing by the Company of all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the satisfactory completion of the audit of ANHL/NMTV's financial statements for each of its past three fiscal years.

Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) (the Company) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement), on March 31, 2010, with Cloud Channel Limited which was subsequently re-named as RTG Ventures (Europe) Limited in July 2010 (RTG Ventures (Europe)). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RTG Ventures (Europe) from its stockholders for consideration consisting of Convertible Preferred Shares of Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) according to the derivative valuation methodologies outlined in the Share Exchange Agreement of Stylar Limited, a/k/a Digital Clarity. RTG Ventures (Europe) has been valued 12 months forward notionally one year hence. An 8-K/A was filed in September 2010 containing audited financials of the acquisition of Stylar Limited which completed the transaction. Shareholders were able to convert the preferred shares into common stock using the average share price of the 30 days preceding September 3, 2011 which provides a share price of $0.016083. The methodology provides for a valuation of 4X net profit. All preferred stock was held by Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group's transfer agent for the 12 month period ending September 3, 2011. All voting shares are held by management.
In August, 2009, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) signed a Letter of Intent with International Financial Systems Ltd. (IFS) a private company, to include iPayu, which became a joint venture with RTG Ventures (Europe) Ltd in April, 2010.
Subsequent to the close of the fiscal year 2011 following substantial investment, the Company conducted a structural review of its total product and services offering. The review was carried out by the Board of Directors. The result was to bring technology development being outsourced directly into the Company to steward on a daily basis and any activities which were not revenue generating in the near term were eliminated. It was unanimously agreed that the company would adopt a lean approach that focused on the relationships and partnerships built up over the year in the music arena as well as build on the early stage development of its CloudChannel product by bringing the technology in-house following product development disappointments of the technology being developed in Ukraine. Within this shift, it was agreed that a new, more appropriate name be given to the services and technology offered by Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. that reflected the change and would allow the building of brand value in its own right. Pulse Station reflected that change.
Certain business lines were eliminated from the Business Plan immediately. In October, 2011 the joint venture with iPayu was mutually withdrawn and in December, 2011 the acquisition of Bitemark Ltd. was rescinded. The companies reverted to the same position each held prior to the contracts. The rescission of the Bitemark Ltd. share purchase agreement was included as an exhibit to the filing for the 2011 fiscal year even though it constituted a subsequent event at the time.

As a further result of the review, the Company has also agreed to strategically focus on developing the business of its wholly owned and revenue generating online marketing services company, Digital Clarity. With deep DNA in its operating market, blending the services of an experienced work force augmented to the technology offering would position the company in a strong, forward looking structure. Digital Clarity operates in the growing area of digital marketing that helps companies make the most the digital economy focusing on areas such as Search Engine Marketing (Google, Yahoo! & Bing), Social Media (Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn) and Internet Strategy Planning including Design, Analytics and Mobile Marketing.
During the last quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with BrandEntertain. Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) and Brand Entertain have agreed to restructure their agreement retroactively to June 11, 2012. BrandEntertain is a partnership and there were certain issues with partnership financials which suggested the business combination be construed as a collaboration/cooperative venture, rather than an acquisition. Upon analysis, one year following the initial transaction, the agreement was rescinded.
On March 5, 2013, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from RTG Ventures, Inc. to Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $10,626,000 and a negative working capital at May 31, 2013 of approximately $1,965,000. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $420,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital requirements by seeking long term financing which may be in the form of additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.
These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(we, us, our, DBMM or the Company) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, availability of capital resources, the timing of acquisitions, and the sensitivity of our business to economic conditions.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary RTG Ventures (Europe), Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks. The Company considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, the Company recognized $0 and $0 as allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years).
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 605, formerly, SAB 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenues from services are recognized when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Earnings (loss) per common share
The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented separately as it is anti-dilutive. Such securities have been excluded from the per share computations as of May 31, 2013 and 2012.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of May 31, 2013, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Companys common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company had notes payable outstanding in which the conversion rate was variable and undeterminable. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a derivative liability in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
|
|
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data |
|
|
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of May 31, 2013, with the exception of its convertible notes payable and derivative liability. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at May 31, 2013 approximate their respective fair value based on the Companys incremental borrowing rate.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of May 31, 2013 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features, as those professional standards pertain to Certain Convertible Instruments. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entitys control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.

Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars using both the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date or historical rate, as applicable. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in a separate component of stockholders equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss), while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.
Business Combinations
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") the Company records acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting, under which the acquisition purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The Company utilizes management estimates and, in some instances, may require an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration granted. Such estimates and valuations require us to make significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A variety of accounting standards have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of any of these standards to have a material impact once adopted.

Readers are cautioned that certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 1. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. This discussion also should be read in conjunction with the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Report.
Background
Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. (f/k/a RTG Ventures, Inc.) (the Company) is an OTC:QB listed company. Subsequent to the close of the fiscal year 2011 following substantial investment, the Company conducted a structural review of its total product and services offering. The review was carried out by the Board of Directors. The result was to bring technology development being outsourced directly into the Company to steward on a daily basis and any activities which were not revenue generating in the near term were eliminated. It was unanimously agreed that the company would adopt a lean approach that focused on the relationships and partnerships built up over the year in the music arena as well as build on the early stage development of its CloudChannel product by bringing the technology in-house following product development disappointments of the technology being developed in Ukraine. Within this shift, it was agreed that a new, more appropriate name be given to the services and technology offered by the Company that reflected the change and would allow the building of brand value in its own right. Pulse Station reflected that change.
Operations Overview/Outlook
Operationally, 2012 was important in evaluating the direction of the company and steering it toward a sustainable growth plan that will center on technology and digital marketing in 2013, as described below:
Music & Entertainment Solutions
Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. is taking its strengths including its relationships to build its business focus on music and entertainment. The Company, under very competitive global market conditions and growing development needs, continued to identify partnership opportunities using its platform, Pulse Station, and conducted a robust review of performance with excellent results.
The heart of the business is the marketing consultancy. Understanding each client and developing the model to individualize the outlook has been essential. This kind of close relationship with the client resulted in Digital Clarity being considered a close professional advisor.
In fiscal year 2013, the Company has taken the positive results of the last year and used that model to expand geographic reach with existing and new partners.
Digital Marketing Services
2012 saw a massive growth in the adoption of Social Media as a communication, marketing and engagement avenue. Through Stylar, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Groups wholly owned digital marketing agency brand, Digital Clarity, it was clear that the direction, talent and growth of the company is in its human capital and outside relationships.
The clear opportunity is at the foundation of the company, namely the need to expedite and encourage development in the digital marketing services sector. The Company must jumpstart the growth by significant capital infusion in fiscal year 2013 to grow simultaneously in multiple geographies.
As a foundation, the financial review showed that Digital Clarity continued to be revenue generating and remained cash flow positive.
Key Milestones
During the latter part of 2012, Digital Clarity continued to make inroads into established and emerging markets. As part of this push, that was greatly enhanced and supported by a newly created Head of US Operations, Steven Baughman, the company won a major deal with a US based entertainment group. The group was seeking a seasoned agency that could fulfill its complex specifications and grow with its aggressive expansion plans throughout the US and beyond. Digital Clarity was awarded the contract, removing the competitors to win the design and development of the new website centered on an intelligent design as well as a strong understanding and execution of social media integration.
Further to that success, Digital Clarity has also been in deep negotiation with a Luxury Brand Group that takes established and well known global high-end fashion brands into the rapidly growing Middle East market.
Digital Clarity is working with the group due to the agencys ability to leverage on contacts within the region and the ability to deliver tangible strategy. The Middle East remains an important market for the company. These two initiatives are examples of the Companys development activities which will serve as models for the 2013 fiscal year.

Key Differentiators
2012 was about establishing strong foundations, streamlining operations and assessing activities on a cost benefit basis. 2013 is about growth and outreach.
As the internet and mobile arena continues to mature, the need to make sense of and manage companies through this often complex market is clearly an area of massive growth. The company is confident that the talent and experience within the digital marketing team is poised for a major springboard in fiscal 2013, but must be expanded significantly in order to support the global reach intended.
Experience

The need for Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. to reach Global Markets
It is clear that the economy continues its slow recovery from the global effect of market forces which impact on all areas of commerce and trade. As the markets remain volatile, the opportunities for a company like Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. to approach new business with its proven track record increase. The core markets remain US and English speaking European markets. Emerging markets are a target for the remainder of 2013. We already have identified a partner in the Middle East and are actively developing a significant client. In addition, BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) would be the next targets from the emerging markets.
The company intends to further extend its services in the Middle Eastern market initially then review the successes using a lean methodology and continuous improvement along the way, and then roll out to the BRIC markets.
US
The US remains at the center of the entertainment, technology and digital industries and as such the emphasis looking forward and building on the recent success in the last quarter of the 2012 calendar year means that Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. and its agency Digital Clarity are perfectly positioned to spring board into this market using the successful models established this past year.
Currently, negotiations are taking place to extend relationships with collaborative partners that have clients in the entertainment and media sectors that can leverage Digital Claritys experience in the digital and social space.
With the appointment of Steven Baughman as Head of US Operations in June 2012, we are establishing a strong digital marketing presence in the Los Angeles area to cover the music and entertainment market and then plan to do the same later in 2013 in New York. We intended to establish the satellite office during the 2013 fiscal year but didnt have the bandwidth to do so and develop our client base as well. As California remains a key regional base from which to build and expand relationships, the need to have a New York satellite office is equally important to serve and build relationships the largest advertising market in the US.
Europe
As the current base of the digital marketing agency is in London England, it is perfectly placed to reach out to the broader European market to replicate the Companys model in the stronger economies in this region. As with the relationships mentioned in the US, opportunities are being explored as to how US partners can leverage Digital Claritys reach in this region and help take established US agencies into the European region.
Middle East
The Middle East is a fertile market for heritage based US and European brands looking for entry into this lucrative market. The fastest area for growth in this sector is to leverage on the luxury arena. Digital Clarity is already in discussions with a number of different luxury groups each with different brands within the group.
Given the complexity of the region as well as the enormous potential, it is important that Digital Clarity aligns itself with established players in local markets. With this in mind, Digital Clarity will look to collaborate with some digital agency partners where there is already a relationship and create a strategy that allows the company to look at the breakdown of current digital competence of these brands focusing on various touch points such as tablets, sites, mobile & social reach in the Middle East.
Our value proposition is very much about creating digital penetration of the Middle Eastern market for a particular group and how those brands would be positioned to create brand value a bye product of which would be sales.
Areas supporting growth in the Middle East
§ Leverage of trade shows e.g. MEE in November in Dubai World Travel & Luxury Goods
§ 214,000 Chinese tourists visited Dubai in 2011, a 50% increase from the previous year.
§ 25% of luxury goods sold in the Mall of the Emirates were bought by Chinese tourists 2011
§ A recent survey by Chalhoub Group revealed that 70% of survey respondents shopped with friends and 40% with sisters and mothers. The survey found that having the right logo and fashion brand displayed on handbags or clothes is particularly important. For example, up to 90% of people surveyed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, believed it was important to have a prestigious logo displayed on their clothing or accessories.
Key differentiators
Artist Collaboration with the head of US Operations, Steven Baughman is an area that will see exponential growth in the coming 12 months and beyond. Artists and brands that look to leverage their celebrity status will look to companies such as Digital Clarity to help drive and develop their brand in the growing and complex arena of social media.
18
Financial Overview/Outlook
The third quarter of the 2013 fiscal year continued the Company realignment from the previous year. Cost of sales decreased further while revenues continue to increase.
In addition, by the end of the fiscal year 2012 and continuing through the third quarter of 2013, all debt is in the hands of friendly lenders who have shown their support to the Company.
Going forward, Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. intends to embark on a significant capital raise to allow the Company to scale up geographically and maximize our global reach through partnered relationships. This strategy is the most efficient and effective path to grow Digital Brand Media & Marketing Group, Inc. quickly into multiple revenue streams. We have proven the model in the last year. Our marketing services' offering is a labor intensive endeavor, wherein human capital is a key differentiator of knowledge and/or relationships.
The Board of Directors sees the remainder of fiscal 2013 as poised for growth on multiple fronts. With capital infusion, which will allow us to bring in new clients, grow existing successful clients and service them accordingly, coupled with an offer of a deferred tax asset to attract partners with significant revenue and expansion patterns, we will have a model in place which will be sustainable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Significant and Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management regularly reviews its estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical factors and other factors that are believed to be relevant under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, estimates or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure of the application of these and other accounting policies.

Professional fees (which include accounting/auditing, consulting and legal fees) decreased by approximately $155,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013.

Interest expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $128,000 and $49,000 respectively. The increase of approximately $79,000 is primarily related to interest of $70,430 recorded in relation to two convertible debentures restructured to a non-convertible loan.
Gain (loss) on derivative liability totaled approximately $32,000 and $(213,000) for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and was due to the calculation of a derivative liability associated with the issuance of convertible note payables issued in 2013 and 2012 as well as the reversal of derivative liabilities relating to the restructuring of convertible notes to a loan payable (non-convertible).
Other interest modification expense totaled approximately $0 and $162,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and was due to the price modification associated with the calculation of convertible shares issued associated with the convertible note payables issued in 2012.
