ITEM 1. | BUSINESS. |
Introduction
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. is dedicated to the cause of online safety for children. By
creating and managing child-friendly social networking websites utilizing state-of the-art
fingerprint identification technology, Dolphin Digital Media has taken an industry-leading position
with respect to internet safety, as well as digital entertainment.
Our goal is to become the leader in social network and digital offerings to children both
through organic growth and by effecting strategic acquisitions of unique e-commerce and security
related companies with niche market opportunities and innovative technologies.
Business Model
We are focused on alleviating the safety concerns of parents whose children explore and
communicate via the Internet. It is a widely held belief that mothers make most family decisions
involving the expenditure of money on children. We believe that our model monetizes this parental
need for safety and control, while also attracting children and teens to the exciting content and
safe social interaction with peers provided by our products.
Need for Internet Security
Although the Internet was originally conceived of, and designed, as a research and education
network, it is being utilized today in radically different ways. The Internet has become a home for
private and commercial communication, as well as expanding areas of commerce and public service,
all the time allowing for direct personalized communication through chat rooms and e-mails. Along
with the convenience and easy access to information come new risks in the form of unauthorized
intruders. Intruders come in many forms: an adolescent curious about what he or she can do on the
Internet; a college student who has created a new software tool; an individual seeking personal
gain; or a predator seeking unthinkable gratification. Our solutions prevent these wrongdoers from
getting to your children online.
Our Product
Dolphin Secure is easy-to-use software that downloads onto any computer in a childs life, and
gives parents the ability to guide where their children can go, and who they can talk to, while
online.
Safer Surfing with Dolphin Secure:
During a registration process that takes less than 10 minutes, parents receive a master white
list of pre-determined age-appropriate web sites for their child to visit. The Dolphin Secure
master white list of pre-approved sites is updated daily, and ensures that children are free to
explore and learn online more safely without the risk of stumbling onto pornography, inappropriate
content or other illicit material. Parents can also customize the specific white list for each
individual child, including the opportunity to add to, or delete from, the Dolphin Secure master
white list. So, a parent could add or allow specific sites for her teenager that would remain
blocked for her younger children. With Dolphin Secure, children can only visit sites on their
specific white list, as customized (or not) by their parent.

Safer Chat with Dolphin Secure:
For the first time, parents have the option to set the boundaries of who their child can speak
to, or who they can be approached by to speak with, online. Upon registration, parents have a wide
variety of options to customize these parameters, from general groups to specific individuals,
including:
| Everyone within the Dolphin Surf social network. |
||
| Only children of a specific gender. |
||
| Only other children within a specific age range chosen by the parent. |
||
| Only a select group of hand-picked friends. |
||
| No one at all. |
All other chat applications otherwise installed on the applicable computer are blocked from a
childs use, thereby ensuring that everyone that could approach the child with an IM request needs
to be registered with Dolphin Secure.
How Dolphin Secure Works: Fingerprint Log-In
In a truly revolutionary offering, and one of the major aspects that makes Dolphin Secure a
unique service, a child may fully utilize the Dolphin Surf social network and communicate with
their friends only following Dolphin Secure fingerprint identification. Upon registration, a new
user scans their finger using the Dolphin Secure UPEK fingerprint reader. The scanned fingerprint
is then converted into a number and stored in a protected, remote database.
The childs account details (e.g. parental settings and personal preferences) are associated
with this number, which is created by an irreversible algorithm. A copy (or a print) of any
users actual fingerprint is never taken, let alone stored anywhere within the Dolphin Secure
system. Only the unique number created by any users unique fingerprint is kept.
After registration, each time an internet browser or an IM application is attempted to be used
on the computer that is Dolphin Secure, a log-in page is triggered. Children simply enter their
user name and scan their fingerprint. Dolphin Secure then verifies the childs identity by
matching the unique number created by this fingerprint scan with the number associated with the
childs user name in the Dolphin Secure database.
Once a match has been created, the Dolphin Secure system promptly loads each childs personal,
customizable home page within Dolphin Surf. That child is now free to surf to websites, and free
to seek other children to be friends with, that are within the controls established by the parent.
When parents or other adults in the household want to use the same computer, a master username and
password can be entered, which unlocks the computer and allows them to freely access the Internet.
Once the parent logs out, Dolphin Secure is automatically back in place for the next session.
Dolphin Surf
Dolphin Surf is a social network featuring the advanced functionality associated with the
leading online communities and virtual worlds. Kids have the opportunity to create a profile, IM
with approved friends, search for new friends, upload photos, send e-mails and customize a homepage
that includes a widget library of content, friend updates and much more, all under the protection
of the Dolphin Secure system. Children can set their own site themes, backgrounds and add or
delete widgets on their homepage, making their Dolphin Surf experience totally unique to them.
Dolphin Surf will be the online destination for children to create, explore, interact and
play, with the assurance that access to their account is available only to them unlike other
social networking sites where users, and their personal content, are vulnerable to anyone who
knows, or can guess, their password.
It is the sharing of passwords among the overwhelming majority of children that exposes them
to so many dangers of cyber-bullying, including online impersonation (e.g. when a classmate or
friend who knows their password goes into their social network account and sends out an
embarrassing e-mail, photo or IM to their entire address book, pretending to be them while also
switching their password so that they cant even access their account after the fact to try and
limit the damage).

Dolphin Groups
The launch of Dolphin Groups in February 2010 allows all childrens organizations (e.g.
schools, little leagues, after-school programs, charitable organizations, etc.) to create their own
mini-sites within Dolphin Surf.
Any group will have the ability to upload content such as videos and photos to the group page,
send out messages to the whole group, write on an individual members wall, create a calendar,
schedule events, and much more. Of course, the group sites have the full instant messaging
capability that is a revolutionary aspect of Dolphin Secure, thereby allowing the children to chat
live with each other while viewing the groups site. For the first time, a childrens organization
can safely create their own environment with full online interactivity occurring by their children.
Dolphin Surf offers different levels of privacy for any group, including: (1) Open: where any
child within Dolphin Surf can join (e.g. a fan club started by a child in support of a favorite
television show), or (2) Semi-Private: where a group administrator can set parameters for who can
join their group, such as age range or gender (e.g. a particular Little League Division only open
to boys and girls twelve and under), or (3) Private: where a group administrator will have to
review and approve each individual who requests to join the group (e.g.: a specific Little League
team).
The Need for Dolphin Secure
Many parents want to protect their children online without feeling like they are spying on
them. Spyware is difficult to use in the best of circumstances, but it has two even more
fundamental problems. First, it is oftentimes reactive. It only tells a parent which
sites their child has visited, and who their child has chatted with, after the damage has already
been done. Secondly, by its very definition, spyware assumes the parent has the time to constantly
review and monitor their childrens online activities.
Dolphin Secure was born out of a decision to provide a proactive solution for parents
concerned with the online safety of their children. Busy parents need an easy-to-use system which
gives them peace of mind that their rules for internet safety are being followed even when they are
not around. Now, a mother busy doing the five hundred tasks in her typical day, usually all at
once, doesnt have to stop to worry that her 8 year-old daughter is receiving an instant message
from someone that she doesnt know, or that her 11 year-old son has incorrectly spelled the name of
a new game and has wound up on a pornography site.
Pricing & Availability
An annual child membership to Dolphin Secure costs $59.95 per year (approx. $5 per month) plus
an additional one-time fee of $15.00 for a fingerprint reader. Each additional child membership is
$29.95 per year; a parent account is free. As of March 2010, a monthly subscription can be
purchased for $5.95 per month for the first child, and $2.95 per month for each additional child in
the household. Parents pay per child on their family account, not per software download. This way,
a family can download Dolphin Secure onto every computer in the home for no additional charge.
Extra fingerprint readers can be purchased for $24.95 each.
Dolphin Secure currently works for PCs using Windows XP or Vista operating systems, as well as
Mac computers using the Safari operating system.
Target Market
Our primary initial target market is North America. This market represents 43.85 million girls
and boys aged 5-15. This number breaks down as follows:
| In Canada, there are 3.71 million girls and boys aged 5-15. This represents 11.19% of the Canadian
population. |
|
| In the United States, there are 40.13 million girls aged 5-15. This represents 13.21% of the US population. |

Additional Revenue Streams
In February 2010, we announced a strategic partnership with the United Way of Miami-Dade to
promote Dolphin Secure. The United Way of Miami-Dade is committed to helping Dolphin Digital
Media in raising awareness around the importance of internet safety for children and the benefits
of Dolphin Secure. Through this strategic partnership, the United Way of Miami-Dade will work
with Dolphin Digital Media to expand its reach into key markets and audiences.
The first results of this strategic partnership were recognized later in February with the
announcement that Dolphin Digital Media and the United Way of Miami-Dade had entered into an
alliance with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools to promote Dolphin Secure. Miami-Dade County
Public Schools is the fourth-largest public school system in the country, with a diverse enrollment
of more than 342,000 students from over 100 countries at its 392 schools. Miami-Dade County Public
Schools also has 50,271 employees, including 22,006 teachers. In addition to the safety benefits
of Dolphin Secure, all parties are excited about utilizing Dolphins biometric authentication to
help deliver on the promise of virtual schooling, including online classes available to all
students, as well as live chat for homework help and tutoring.
In March 2010, we entered into a partnership with the Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida
to promote Dolphin Secure and to utilize Dolphin Secures group functionality. The campaign, SOS:
Speak Online Safely, began March 25, 2010. The Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida has over
700 troops and over 16,000 members between Miami-Dade County and Monroe County. Each troop will
have their own group within Dolphin Surf, open only to their members, while the Council as a whole
with have a group open to all 16,000 Girl Scouts in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Also, the Girl
Scout Council of Tropical Florida will start other groups for additional programs they offer, all
open only to the girls that participate in those programs, as well as groups open to all girls,
whether they are current Girl Scouts or not. This partnership is a wonderful example of the clear
benefits that the group functionality within Dolphin Secure offers to all childrens organizations,
large or small.

Corporate History
Dolphin Digital Media, initially known as Rising Fortune Incorporated, was incorporated in the
State of Nevada on March 7, 1995. We were inactive between the years 1996 and 2003.
On December 5, 2003, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Maximum
Awards Inc, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Maximum Awards.
Maximum Awards was an Australian company engaged in the business of operating a consumer rewards
program through which consumers earned points by purchasing products and services offered by the
company and its program partners.
On June 1, 2004, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Travel Easy Holidays
Pty Ltd (TEH) and Global Business Group Pty Ltd (GBH) from Maxwell Thomas and Michael Sullivan.
These corporations were involved in the travel industry and mail order industries and were acquired
to add to our rewards program operations by providing an in-house travel agency and a consumer
products retailer.
In June 2004 we acquired Global Business Group Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited
corporation, organized under the law of the Province of Queensland, Australia in June 2003. Global
Business did business under the name Easy Shopper Direct and was engaged in the business of selling
consumer goods on-line and through published catalogs.
On May 29, 2007, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Maximum
Awards Inc. to Logica Holdings, Inc.
On July 9, 2007, we acquired (i) Plays On The Net Plc and its subsidiary, Plays On The Net
Inc., which provide a web based platform for writers to share their work, to communicate with
fellow dramatists and to explore new ideas, which includes an extensive retail site for book, audio
downloads and all-round theatre information; (ii) Curtain Rising Inc., which provides an online

company that holds the license for a secure social networking website for children, providing an
interactive virtual world for young people, secured with cutting-edge biometric technology in the
form of a personal fingerprint reader. We issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock as
consideration in the acquisitions. The acquisitions resulted in a change of control and were
accounted for as a reverse merger.
On August 7, 2007, we amended our articles of incorporation to change the par value of our
common stock from $0.001 per share to $0.015 per share.
On September 30, 2007, we sold 100% of our Australian subsidiaries; Maximum Awards Pty
Limited, Travel Easy Holidays Pty Ltd and Global Business Group Pty Ltd to Elko Group Pty Limited,
an Australian company controlled by Maxwell A. Thomas, a former executive officer of the Company.
On May 28, 2008, we entered into a Social Network Platform License Agreement with Dolphin
Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its affiliated companies, pursuant to which we
granted to Dolphin Entertainment a three (3) year exclusive license to utilize our proprietary
social network creation platform and visitor identification, authentication and authorization
technology to create and operate several subscription-based social networking websites themed
around Dolphin Entertainments premium family entertainment brand properties. This alliance permits
the creation of highly secure social networking websites for children and young adults with the
strong attraction of premium family entertainment brands, an Internet first. Dolphin Entertainment
is wholly owned by William ODowd, IV, who became our majority shareholder, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Directors in connection with our acquisition of Dolphin Digital Media,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, described below. Under the Social Network Platform License Agreement,
we agreed to an even 50%-50% share with Dolphin Entertainment of subscription revenues generated by
Dolphin Entertainments or its affiliates operation of social networking websites created with the
platform, and to additional revenue shares to be determined by the parties in the event additional
revenue streams other than subscription revenues (such as advertisement sales, merchandising and
sublicensing) might be generated and received.

On June 23, 2008, we obtained an exclusive license to Dolphin Entertainments family
entertainment brand properties through the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Dolphin
Digital Media (DDM), a newly formed Delaware corporation wholly owned by Mr. ODowd. In
consideration of the acquisition, we issued 24,063,735 shares of our common stock (constituting
fifty-one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock) to Mr. ODowd, and appointed Mr.
ODowd our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. At the time of the
acquisition, DDM was the grantee of an exclusive ten-year worldwide license from Dolphin
Entertainment, dated as of the date of the closing of the acquisition, to use Dolphin
Entertainments family entertainment brand properties. This license was the sole asset of DDM at
the time of the acquisition, and DDM had not yet commenced planned principal operations. Under the
license, we are authorized to use Dolphin Entertainments brand properties in connection with the
creation, promotion and operation of subscription based Internet social networking websites for
children and young adults. The license requires that we pay to Dolphin Entertainment royalties at
the rate of fifteen percent of our net sales from performance of the licensed activities. As Mr.
ODowd is considered a related party under applicable accounting rules, we recorded the assets of
DDM at their historical cost.
On July 29, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Logica
Holdings, Inc. to Dolphin Digital Media, Inc.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
We are a development stage company and we have limited historical operations. We urge you to
consider our likelihood of success and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by entities at similar stages of development. The following is a summary of
certain risks we face. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks of which we are not
presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business and results
of operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to the occurrence of any of
these risks, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. In assessing these risks,
investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to our Business
We may need to raise additional capital in the near future, and, if we are unable to secure
adequate funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to support our business plan and be required
to suspend operations.
We may need to raise additional capital in the near term, and may seek to do so by conducting
one or more private placements of equity securities, selling additional securities in a registered
public offering, or through a combination of one or more of such financing alternatives. There can
be no assurance that any additional capital resources will be available to us as and when required,
or on terms that will be acceptable to us.
6
Table of Contents
The following terms of our October 2007 financing will make obtaining additional financing
with acceptable terms more difficult and/or expensive: (i) no dividends may be paid with respect to
common stock while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, unless said dividends are paid pro rata to
the holders of the Preferred Stock; (ii) as long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company
may not, without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Stock, authorize or create authorize
or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a liquidation
senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Preferred Stock, or any preferred stock possessing
greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the Preferred Stock;
(iii) the Preferred Stock is entitled to a $1.00 per share preferred distribution, prior to any
distribution to holders of common stock, upon a liquidation of the Company; (iv) for a period of 5
years post closing, the Company is prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to
effect any subsequent financing involving a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any
debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of common stock either (a) at a conversion,
exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices
of or quotations for the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt
or equity securities, or (b) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the
occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the
Company or the market for the common stock exclusive in all cases of stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalization and other similar rights, or, a transaction in which the Company issues or sells
any securities in a capital raising transaction or series of related transactions which grants to
an investor the right to receive additional shares based upon future transactions of the Company on
terms more favorable than those granted to such investor in such offering; (v) the Company, at any
time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall not issue rights, options or warrants to
holders of common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a
price per share less than the conversion value of the Preferred Stock; and (vi) the conversion
value of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants is subject to a full ratchet adjustment if the
Company issues shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock at an
effective price per share that is less than the conversion value of the Preferred Stock (the
ratchet with respect to the Preferred Stock is limited to 24 months after closing); and (vii) for a
period of two years from the date of the closing, the Investor shall have the right to participate
in any subsequent funding by the Company on a pro rata basis at one hundred percent (100%) of the
offering price.
If we are unable to raise the capital required on a timely basis, we may not be able to fund
our projects and the development of the businesses of our subsidiaries. In such event, we may be
required to suspend our plan of operations. Moreover, even if the necessary funding is available to
us, the issuance of additional securities would dilute the equity interests of our existing
stockholders, perhaps substantially.
Our success depends on the attraction and retention of senior management and technicians with
relevant expertise.
Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued services of William
ODowd, IV who conceived the business and overall operating strategy, has been most instrumental in
assisting us in raising capital and currently serves as our executive officer. We do not have an
employment agreement with Mr. ODowd at present. We do not maintain key man life insurance for any
executive officer. Our ability to execute our strategy also will depend on our ability to attract
and retain qualified technicians and sales, marketing and additional managerial personnel. If we
are unable to find, hire and retain qualified individuals, we could have difficulty implementing
our business plan in a timely manner, or at all.
Our international operations expose us to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign
currencies.
As part of our international operations, from time to time in the regular course of business,
we convert dollars into foreign currencies and vice versa. The value of the dollar against other
currencies is subject to market fluctuations, and the exchange rate may or may not be in our favor.
We may divest assets to reflect changes in our strategy.
We have begun divesting businesses and assets that we have determined no longer fit our
strategy. For example, we sold our interests in three subsidiaries in September 2007. We may
undertake divestiture transactions when we believe there is a financial or strategic benefit to us
in doing so. Such divestitures, should they occur, may result in losses. There may also be costs
and liabilities that we incur or retain in connection with these divestitures.
We may be unable to successfully divest non-strategic assets and, if we incorrectly evaluate
the strategic fit and valuation of divested businesses or assets, we may forego opportunities that
would otherwise have benefited our business.

Table of Contents
A number of factors may cause our consolidated operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly
or annual basis, which may make it difficult to predict our future operating results.
We expect our consolidated revenues and expenses to fluctuate, making it difficult to predict
our future operating results. Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:
| demand in the markets that we serve; |
||
| our ability to define, design and release new products that meet
customer needs, and to do so quickly and cost effectively; |
||
| market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products; |
||
| variations in the performance of our businesses; |
||
| our ability to forecast demand in the markets that we serve; |
||
| general economic conditions in the countries where we operate; and |
||
| changes in exchange rates, interest rates and tax rates. |
Any of the above factors, many of which are beyond our control, could significantly harm our
business and results of operations. The results of a prior quarter or annual period should not be
relied upon as an indicator of future operating performance.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to our Common Stock
The market for common stock is limited, and you may not be able to sell the shares of our
common stock that you hold.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, not on a national securities
exchange. Therefore, our common stock is thinly traded, the market for purchases and sales of our
common stock is limited and the sale of a limited number of shares could cause the price to fall
significantly. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock quickly without
significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued
investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations
in the price of the stock.
Stockholder interest in us may be substantially diluted as a result of the sale or issuance of
additional securities pursuant to existing commitments and to fund our plan of operation.
Issuances of additional shares of common stock would result in dilution of the percentage
interest in our common stock of all stockholders ratably and might result in dilution in the
tangible net book value of a share of our common stock, depending upon the price and other terms on
which the additional shares are issued. In addition, the issuance of additional shares of common
stock upon exercise of the warrants or stock options, or even the prospect of such issuance, may
have an effect on the market for our common stock and may have an adverse impact on the price at
which shares of our common stock trade.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about our business or if
they make adverse recommendations regarding an investment in our common stock, our stock price and
trading volume may decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research reports that
industry or securities analysts publish about our business. We do not currently have, and may never
obtain, research coverage by industry or securities analysts. If no industry or securities analysts
commence coverage of us, the trading price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. In the
event, we obtain industry or security analyst coverage, and if one or more of the analysts
downgrade our stock or comment negatively on our prospects, our stock price would likely decline.
If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or our industry or fails to publish reports
about us regularly, our common stock could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could
also cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We may be the subject of securities class action litigation due to future stock price
volatility.
Our common stock price has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future.
We expect that the market price of our common stock will likely continue to fluctuate significantly
and remain highly volatile. We will not have control over the factors that cause such volatility.
Historically, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have often
initiated securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of
our stockholders bring a similar lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the
lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from the operation
of our business.
We do not intend to declare cash dividends on our common stock.
We will not distribute any cash to our stockholders until and unless we can develop sufficient
funds from operations to meet our ongoing needs and implement our business plan. As a result, your
only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in us will be if the market price of our
common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit. The future market price for our
common stock may never exceed the price that you pay for our common stock.
ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES. |
As of the date of this report, we do not own any real property. Our executive offices are now
at 804 Douglas Road, Executive Tower Building, Suite 365, Coral Gables, Florida 33134. The Company
does not have a lease agreement as it shares its offices with those of Dolphin Entertainment. We
believe our current facilities are adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
On October 15, 2008, a lawsuit was filed between the Company and Mirador Consulting, Inc., in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Plaintiffs are alleging
and seeking, among other things, that the Company had breached an agreement to pay Mirador
Consulting, Inc., a finders fee of $1,000,000 in connection with the Dolphin Digital Media
acquisition. The ultimate results of these proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with
certainty. Management has moved for dismissal as they believe the claims are without substance and
that the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
On October 1, 2009, Dolphin Digital Media, Inc, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. and Dolphin
Entertainment Capital, Inc. brought suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida against Mark Peikin, Joshua M. Gold, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., GSquared, Ltd., Carta
De Dinero, LLC, Nevada Agency And Transfer Co. and Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith
Incorporated. The suit seeks recovery of corporate stock and damages occasioned by the misfeasance
of Peikin, Gold and the corporate entities over which they presided (Bespoke, GSquared, Carta De
Dinero) and employed to divert Plaintiffs money and opportunities. As alleged in the complaint,
Peikin and Gold served as outside and inside counsel to and officers of Plaintiffs in 2008 and
2009, as further alleged. In the course of their affiliation with Plaintiffs, they were able to use
their positions of trust to gain access to Plaintiffs assets and opportunities and divert same to
Bespoke, GSquared and Carta De Dinero. Among their actions, the Company alleged Peikin and Gold
improperly directed Nevada Agency And Transfer Co. to issue one million shares of Dolphin Digital
Media, Inc.s stock to Carta De Dinero, who then transferred such shares to its account at Merrill
Lynch and sold them on the open market. In this lawsuit, Plaintiffs seek recovery of the damages
occasioned by the improper issuance and sale of the Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. stock, as well as
the value of the actual funds and opportunities misappropriated by Peikin and Gold.

On November 2, 2009, an action was initiated by Plaintiffs Malcolm Stockdale, the Winterman
Group Ltd. and Annes Diary, Inc. against Defendants William ODowd IV, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc.
and Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
In their complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that ODowd, Dolphin Entertainment and Dolphin Digital Media
conspired with the parties mutual counsel, Mark Peikin (who is also one of the Defendants in the
action styled Dolphin Digital Media, Inc., et al. v. Mark Peikin, et al., Case No.
09-CIV-22964-KING/BANDSTRA) to acquire Logica Holdings, Inc. by fraud in 2008. Notably, Mark Peikin
is not named in the suit as a Defendant. According to the complaint, Defendants conspired with
Peikin to change the terms of the merger just before its closing, which change benefited ODowd by
approximately
$4,000,000. Thereafter, Plaintiffs allege that ODowd stole shares of stock and mismanaged
Logica. Causes of action alleging conspiracy, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and violations of
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act are alleged. No specific amount of damages
sought was alleged in the complaint. On January 19, 2010, Plaintiffs unilaterally and without
notice dismissed the lawsuit (without prejudice to their right to re-file the action at a later
date, if they choose) and did so without obtaining a settlement of any kind from any of the
Defendants.

Critical Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated financial position and
results of operations of the Company and include the accounts and results of operations of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Dolphin Digital Media Inc and its subsidiaries Plays On The Net Plc, Dolphin
Digital Media (Canada) Inc, Annes World Limited, Curtain Rising Inc and Dolphin Digital media Inc.
for the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. Intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
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. These estimates and assumptions also affect
the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management
evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to December 31, 2008
presentations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes the monthly and annual subscription revenues over the service period.
Advertising revenue is recognized over the period the advertisement is displayed. Online shopping
revenues and affiliate commission income are both recognized when a customer incurs in a purchase.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009, there were no cash and cash equivalents. Cash
and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method. These inventories consisted of fingerprint readers. At December 31 2009 and 2008,
the value of the companys inventory was $91,980 and $94,048, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of
the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed
of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized
thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and
betterments are capitalized. The range of estimated useful lives to be used to calculate
depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
Depreciation/ | ||||
Amortization | ||||
Asset Category | Period | |||
Furniture and Fixture |
5 Years | |||

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 350, formerly, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS ) No 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective
July 1, 2002. As a result, the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill, and instead annually
evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment, in accordance with the provisions of ACS
Topic 350, formerly SFAS No. 142. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible represents the excess of
the cost of investments in subsidiaries over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired. The Company holds licenses and expects both licenses and the cash flow
generated by the use of the licenses in order to operate the platform to continue indefinitely
due to the likelihood of continued renewal at little or no cost.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
No.s 350 and 360 Intangibles Goodwill and Other and Property, Plant and Equipment. In
accordance with FASB ASC No.s 350 and 360, long-lived assets, Goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual
basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. If it is determined
that an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its estimated fair value and classified as Impairment in the consolidated statement of
operations. A 100% or $92,111 impairment charge was recorded in 2009 for the Novell access manager
acquired during the year 2007 as it was determined by management that the future value was
impaired.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, formerly, SFAS
No. 109 , Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109) for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Other
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ACS Topic 220, formerly SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
(SFAS 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of
Stockholders Equity.
Comprehensive income comprises a gain on foreign translation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements
of the Companys Canadians subsidiary translated to the United States dollars using the period
exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.
Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction
occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the
statements of operations and stockholders equity as other comprehensive income (loss).
Loss per share
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 Earnings Per Share,
Loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock warrants were not included in
the computation of loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion is
anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 Transfers
and Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about
a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys
first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that
first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company
is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 810
Consolidation. FASB ASC No. 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first
annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is
evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 810 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 105-GAAP. The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will be the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of
the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. FASB ASC No. 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC No. 105. All
other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of
FASB ASC No. 105 did not have a impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 9A(T). | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e)under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure
controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure
controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and
procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his
evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and with the
participation of our consultant who also provides outsourced accounting services to us, our
President who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer, has concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment using those criteria, our management
concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm
regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our managements report was not subject to
attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. |
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31,
2010 by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our
common stock, by each director, by each named executive officer, and by all directors and executive
officers as a group.
Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table, we believe that each of the
persons or entities named in the table exercises sole voting and investment power over the shares
of common stock that each of them beneficially owns, subject to community property laws where
applicable. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities owned or which can be
acquired by such person within 60 days of the measurement date upon the exercise of stock options.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. |
On May 28, 2008, we entered into a Social Network Platform License Agreement with Dolphin
Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its affiliated companies, pursuant to which we
granted to Dolphin Entertainment a three (3) year exclusive license to utilize our proprietary
social network creation platform and visitor identification, authentication and authorization
technology to create and operate several subscription-based social networking websites themed
around Dolphin Entertainments premium family entertainment brand properties. This alliance permits
the creation of highly secure social networking websites for children and young adults with the
strong attraction of premium family entertainment brands, an Internet first. Dolphin Entertainment
is wholly owned by William ODowd, IV, who became our majority shareholder, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Directors in connection with our acquisition of Dolphin Digital Media,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, described below. Under the Social Network Platform License Agreement,
we agreed to an even 50%-50% share with Dolphin Entertainment of subscription revenues generated by
Dolphin Entertainments or its affiliates operation of social networking websites created with the
platform, and to additional revenue shares to be determined by the parties in the event additional
revenue streams other than subscription revenues (such as advertisement sales, merchandising and
sublicensing) might be generated and received.

On June 23, 2008, we obtained an exclusive license to Dolphin Entertainments family
entertainment brand properties through the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Dolphin
Digital Media (DDM), a newly formed Delaware corporation wholly owned by Mr. ODowd. At the time
of the acquisition, DDM was the grantee of an exclusive ten-year worldwide license from Dolphin
Entertainment, dated as of the date of the closing of the acquisition, to use Dolphin
Entertainments family entertainment brand properties. This license was the sole asset of DDM at
the time of the acquisition, and DDM had not yet commenced planned principal operations. Under the
license, we are authorized to use Dolphin Entertainments brand properties in connection with the
creation, promotion and operation of subscription based Internet social networking websites for
children and young adults.
The license requires that we pay to Dolphin Entertainment royalties at the rate of fifteen
percent of our net sales from performance of the licensed activities.
In consideration of the acquisition, we issued 24,063,735 shares of our common stock
(constituting fifty-one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock) to Mr. ODowd.
Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, we appointed Mr. ODowd our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, we granted to Mr. ODowd certain
anti-dilution protection for five (5) years from the date of the acquisition under which we agreed
to issue such number of shares of our common stock as necessary for Mr. ODowd to maintain his
fifty-one percent ownership any time that we issue additional shares to a party other than Mr.
ODowd, or upon the exercise by any such party of options, warrants, notes or other securities
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any share of our common stock. As
consideration for the agreement the shareholder has agreed to become the Chairman and CEO of the
Company. As the shareholder is considered a related party on SAB 48 the Company has recorded the
assets of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc at their historical cost.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders deficit and cash flows for the two years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
has operating and liquidity concerns, has incurred net losses approximating $27,500,000 as of
December 31, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard, Management is proposing
to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company has yearend losses from operations for 2009 and 2008.
During the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company recorded an accumulated deficit of
approximating $27,0529,526. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or
develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of
certain stockholders.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties. In this regard, Management is planning to raise any necessary additional
funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
NOTE 3 SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated financial position and results of

Inc, Annes World Limited, Curtain Rising Inc and Dolphin Digital media Inc. for the period
January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
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. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported
amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these
estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to December 31, 2008 presentations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes the monthly and annual subscription revenues over the service period.
Advertising revenue is recognized over the period the advertisement is displayed. Online shopping
revenues and affiliate commission income are both recognized when a customer incurs in a purchase.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009, there were no cash and cash equivalents. Cash
and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method. These inventories consisted of fingerprint readers. At December 31 2009 and 2008,
the value of the companys inventory was $91,980 and $94,048, respectively.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of,
income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized
thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and
betterments are capitalized. The range of estimated useful lives to be used to calculate
depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 350, formerly, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective
July 1, 2002. As a result, the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill, and instead annually
evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment, in accordance with the provisions of ACS
Topic 350, formerly SFAS No. 142. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible represents the excess of
the cost of investments in subsidiaries over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired. The Company holds licenses and expects both licenses and the cash flow generated by the
use of the licenses in order to operate the platform to continue indefinitely due to the likelihood
of continued renewal at little or no cost.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No.s
350 and 360 Intangibles Goodwill and Other and Property, Plant and Equipment. In accordance
with FASB ASC No.s 350 and 360, long-lived assets, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are reviewed for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more
frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. If it is determined that an
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
estimated fair value and classified as Impairment in the consolidated statement of operations. A
100% or $92,111 impairment charge was recorded in 2009 for the Novell access manager acquired
during the year 2007 as it was determined by management that the future value was impaired.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, formerly, SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109) for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Other
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ACS Topic 220, formerly SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
(SFAS 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of
Stockholders Equity.
Comprehensive income comprises a gain on foreign translation.

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the
Companys Canadians subsidiary translated to the United States dollars using the period exchange
rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital
accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred.
Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of
operations and stockholders equity as other comprehensive income (loss).
Loss per share
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 Earnings Per Share, Loss per
common share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock warrants were not included in the
computation of loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.
The total potential dilutive warrants and stock options outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
were 7,036414 and 4,100,000 warrants, respectively. There were no dilutive securities outstanding
for the period ended December 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Companys financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents,
inventory, account payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities
approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in
accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is 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.
The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants,
principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The
fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other
things, the Companys credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the
income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the
techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of
the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to
measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting
measurement as follows:
F-9
Table of Contents
Level 1
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for
identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable for the asset or liability;
and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy
in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using
significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure
requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting
changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period
(realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a
description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of
income.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company did not have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. During the year ended
December 31, 2008, one customer accounted for 99% of the Companys sales. During the year ended
December 31, 2009 the Company did not have any sales.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the
future are summarized below.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 Transfers and
Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about
a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys
first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that
first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company
is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 Consolidation.
FASB ASC No. 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting
period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the
impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 810 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 105-GAAP. The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will be the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of
the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. FASB ASC No. 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC No. 105. All
other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Adpotion of
FASB ASC No. 105 did not have a impact on our financial statements.

Florida against Mark Peikin, Joshua M. Gold, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., GSquared, Ltd., Carta
De Dinero, LLC, Nevada Agency And Transfer Co. and Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith
Incorporated. The suit seeks recovery of corporate stock and damages occasioned by the misfeasance
of Peikin, Gold and the corporate entities over which they presided (Bespoke, GSquared, Carta De
Dinero) and employed to divert Plaintiffs money and opportunities. As alleged in the complaint,
Peikin and Gold served as outside and inside counsel to and officers of Plaintiffs in 2008 and
2009. As further alleged, in the course of their affiliation with Plaintiffs, they were able to use
their positions of trust to gain access to Plaintiffs assets and opportunities and divert same to
Bespoke, GSquared and Carta De Dinero. Among their actions, the Company alleged Peikin and Gold
improperly directed Nevada Agency And Transfer Co. to issue one million shares of Dolphin Digital
Media, Inc.s stock to Carta De Dinero, who then transferred such shares to its account at Merrill
Lynch and sold them on the open market. In this lawsuit, Plaintiffs seek recovery of the damages
occasioned by the improper issuance and sale of the Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. stock, as well as
the value of the actual funds and opportunities misappropriated by Peikin and Gold.

mismanaged Logica. Causes of action alleging conspiracy, fraud breach of fiduciary duty and
violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act are alleged. No specific
amount of damages sought was alleged in the complaint. On January 19, 2010, Plaintiffs
