The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The condensed financial statements are presented on the accrual basis.

On June 23 2008 Logica Holdings purchased 100% of Dolphin Digital Media Inc. The Company issued a total of 24,063,735 of common shares, equivalent to 51% of its outstanding common stock, for the acquisition of Dolphin Digital Media Inc resulting in a change of control. The total amount of issued and outstanding share for the period ended June 30, 2008 was 47,183,793. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction with Logica Holdings.

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 net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $2,627,365. As of September 30, 2010 the Company recorded an accumulated deficit of approximating $30,156,891. 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 subsidiaries. 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, and Curtain Rising Inc and. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2010 presentations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
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 September 30, 2010 and 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31 2009 the value of the Company’s inventory was $8,276 and $91,860, respectively. During the nine months ended September 31, 2010 the Company sold inventory in the amount of $75,000 at cost to a licensor of our technology.
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 the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, 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.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
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’ Deficit.
Comprehensive income (loss) comprises a gain or loss on foreign currency 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 dollar 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 September 30, 2010 was 11,242,944 shares. There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2010.
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.
 
  2)  
Dolphin Digital Media (Canada): The Company’s primary business model is monthly and annual membership fees in Canada for subscription to Dolphinsecure.com.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, inventory, advances, account payable, deferred licensing fees, 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.

Table of Contents

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:
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 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company did not have concentration of sales. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505) — Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505. ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s (consolidated) financial position and results of operations.

This ASU clarifies the applicable scope of ASC 810 for a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary or an exchange of a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures — Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates No. 2010-21 (ASU No. 2010-21) “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules” and No. 2010-22 (ASU No. 2010-22) “Accounting for Various Topics — Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”. ASU No 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release no. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. ASU No. 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. Both ASU No. 2010-21 and ASU No. 2010-22 are effective upon issuance. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-21 and No. 2010-22 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 15 — LITIGATION
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. As alleged in the complaint, Peikin and Gold served as outside and inside counsel to and officers of Plaintiffs in 2008 and 2009. 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 and also alleged civil racketeering counts. On or about April 19, 2010, the Court dismissed the civil racketeering counts on the basis that the alleged enterprise was primarily formed and existed for the commission of the theft of the above-mentioned stock. The Court made no determination on the merits of the underlying allegations. As a result of the dismissal, the Court was deprived of jurisdiction over the cause.
On April 20, 2010, Peikin and Gold filed an action in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. and Dolphin Digital Media, Inc., respectively, relating to their employment with the companies. Peikin has sued Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. for: 1) breach of contract; 2) promissory estoppel; 3) fraud in the inducement; and 4) negligent misrepresentation and Gold has sued Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. for negligent misrepresentation. On or about May 10, 2010, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. and Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. filed their Answer, Affirmative Defenses, Counterclaim against Peikin and Gold and a Third Party Claim against Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., Gsquared, Ltd. and Carta De Dinero, LLC, alleging virtually the same counts alleged in the action filed in the U. S. District Court action. The Counterclaim and the Third-Party Claim allege among other things, fraud, civil theft, unjust enrichment and conversion and seek an accounting. Discovery has been served and the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Summary
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 Signature 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.
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 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.

Table of Contents

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).
In May, 2010, the functionality of Dolphin Groups was expanded to include the option for group administrators to charge membership fees, on either a monthly or annual basis. Furthermore, the option for individual groups within Dolphin Surf to link to one another was also released.
Links between groups can be either single-direction or dual-direction. Single-direction groups simply means that only the members from one group are automatically invited to join the other group, but not the other way around (i.e. members of a particular local Girl Scout Troop are invited to join the group site for the Girl Scouts in that particular state, but not every Girl Scout in the state is invited to join the group site for that particular local Girl Scout Troop). Dual-direction groups simply means that the members from each group are automatically invited to join the other group (e.g. upon entering into the fan club for the leading actress of a popular television show, a member is automatically invited to the fan club for the leading actor of the same television show, and vice versa).
Management believes that these dual features of affiliation and monetization create a unique and compelling opportunity for any children’s organization or content owner to have their online experience benefit from Dolphin Secure.
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 September 30, 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 7, Windows XP or Vista operating systems, as well as Mac computers using the Safari operating system.
Approach to Market
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.

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 will 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.
Management is currently exploring additional sales channels, including electronic retail and traditional brick and mortar.
“Dolphin Digital Studios”
On September 09, 2010 the Company announced the launch of Dolphin Digital Studios. As a new division of the company, Dolphin Digital Studios will create original programming that premieres online, with an initial focus on content geared toward tweens and teens.
Dolphin Digital Studios will begin production on its first project in the fourth quarter of 2010 for a scheduled release in early 2011. Dolphin Digital Studios plans to produce between 8 and 10 web series per year. Some projects may be self-financed, while some projects currently under development will be funded through project-specific strategic and financial partnerships. This will allow Dolphin Digital Studios to have attractive financing alternatives while developing its slate of programming.
The Company expects each web series created by Dolphin Digital Studios to generate $1 million in revenue, with net margins of 20% to 30% per project. Dolphin Digital Studios already has several projects under development. Web series, in general, have a fairly short development and production cycle, thus allowing for quick distribution in comparison with traditional television and film models.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost- benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except that the Company increased its internal controls around the issuance and recording of common stock sales.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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. As alleged in the complaint, Peikin and Gold served as outside and inside counsel to and officers of Plaintiffs in 2008 and 2009. 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 and also alleged civil racketeering counts. On or about April 19, 2010, the Court dismissed the civil racketeering counts on the basis that the alleged enterprise was primarily formed and existed for the commission of the theft of the above-mentioned stock. The Court made no determination on the merits of the underlying allegations. As a result of the dismissal, the Court was deprived of jurisdiction over the cause.
On April 20, 2010, Peikin and Gold filed an action in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. and Dolphin Digital Media, Inc., respectively, relating to their employment with the companies. Peikin has sued Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. for: 1) breach of contract; 2) promissory estoppel; 3) fraud in the inducement; and 4) negligent misrepresentation and Gold has sued Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. for negligent misrepresentation. On or about May 10, 2010, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. and Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. filed their Answer, Affirmative Defenses, Counterclaim against Peikin and Gold and a Third Party Claim against Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., Gsquared, Ltd. and Carta De Dinero, LLC, alleging virtually the same counts alleged in the action filed in the U. S. District Court action. The Counterclaim and the Third-Party Claim allege among other things, fraud, civil theft, unjust enrichment and conversion and seek an accounting. Discovery has been served and the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.
