PART I
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 child’s 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 child’s 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 child’s 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 user’s actual fingerprint is never taken, let alone stored anywhere within the Dolphin Secure system. Only the unique number created by any user’s 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 child’s identity by matching the unique number created by this fingerprint scan with the number associated with the child’s user name in the Dolphin Secure database.
Once a match has been created, the Dolphin Secure system promptly loads each child’s 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 can’t 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 children’s 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 member’s “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 group’s site. For the first time, a children’s 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 children’s 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, doesn’t have to stop to worry that her 8 year-old daughter is receiving an instant message from someone that she doesn’t 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.

Licensing & Branding
We hold a multiyear exclusive licensing agreement with Dolphin Entertainment (“DE”), a Miami-based, Emmy-award nominated production and distribution company of hit television programs for children, most notably Nickelodeon’s top-rated series Zoey 101 and hit show Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, among many others. Under the terms of our 10 year agreement, DE will work with us to create and manage several social networking websites which will be themed around DE’s own branded properties.

DE enjoys worldwide distribution of its programs, with sales in over 100 countries (reaching almost 300 million homes) for its current children’s properties, including Mexico, Italy, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Africa, among many others. DE has successfully launched international merchandising lines for its children’s properties in nearly every consumer category, including publishing, apparel, sleepwear, accessories, and cosmetics.

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 Dolphin’s 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 Secure’s 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 children’s 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 database for theatres and a bi-weekly online theatre magazine; and (iii) Anne’s World Limited, a 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 Entertainment’s 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 O’Dowd, 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 Entertainment’s 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 Entertainment’s 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. O’Dowd. 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. O’Dowd, and appointed Mr. O’Dowd 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 Entertainment’s 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 Entertainment’s 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. O’Dowd 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.

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 O’Dowd, 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. O’Dowd 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.

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 finder’s 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 Plaintiff’s 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 Anne’s Diary, Inc. against Defendants William O’Dowd 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 O’Dowd, 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 O’Dowd by approximately $4,000,000. Thereafter, Plaintiffs allege that O’Dowd 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, Anne’s 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 company’s 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
Computer equipment
  3 Years
Leasehold improvements

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 Company’s 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 transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s 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 entity’s 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.

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.
Management’s 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 management’s 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 management’s 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.

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. Each person’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that stock options beneficially owned by such person (but not those owned by any other person) have been exercised. The percentages in the table are based upon 60,717,499 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

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 Entertainment’s 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 O’Dowd, 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 Entertainment’s 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 Entertainment’s 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. O’Dowd. 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 Entertainment’s 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 Entertainment’s 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. O’Dowd. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, we appointed Mr. O’Dowd our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, we granted to Mr. O’Dowd 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. O’Dowd to maintain his fifty-one percent ownership any time that we issue additional shares to a party other than Mr. O’Dowd, 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
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 Company’s 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 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, Anne’s 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 company’s 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
Computer equipment
  3 Years
Leasehold improvements
  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 Company’s 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.
Business Segments
The Company operates the following business segments:
  1)  
Dolphin Digital Media (USA): The Company’s primary business model is monthly and annual membership fees in the US for subscription to Dolphinsecure.com, DolphinSurf.com and Dolphinsurfkids.com.
 
  2)

Curtain Rising: the Company’s primary business model is advertising in the online by weekly theatre magazine.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s 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 entity’s 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.

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 Plaintiff’s 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.
Malcolm Stockdale, et al. v. William O’Dowd, et al., Case No. 09-23338-CIV-JORDAN

Therein Plaintiffs Malcolm Stockdale, the Winterman GroupLtd. and Anne’s Diary, Inc. sued Defendants William O’Dowd 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 O’Dowd, 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 O’Dowd by approximately $4,000,000.00. Thereafter, Plaintiffs allege that O’Dowd 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.
