NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Basis of Presentation and Organization
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.

Incorporation again to change its name to Logica Holdings Inc. On July 29 2008, the Company
amended its Articles of Incorporation again to change its name to Dolphin Digital Media Inc

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

Curtain Rising Inc was incorporated in Ontario (Canada) on October 19 2006. The company has no
current operations, revenues or expenses.
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

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 Companys 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:

Table of Contents
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 Companys 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 Companys primary
business model is monthly and annual membership fees in
the US for subscription to Dolphinsecure.com. |
||
2) | Dolphin Digital Media (Canada): The Companys 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 Companys 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.
7
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 Companys credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the
income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the
techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics
of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used
to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting
measurement as follows:
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 Casha 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 Companys (consolidated) financial position and results of operations.
Ownership of a Subsidiarya Scope Clarification, as codified in ASC 810, Consolidation.
ASU No. 2010-02 applies retrospectively to April 1, 2009, our adoption date for ASC 810-10-65-1
as previously discussed in this financial note. 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 Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
8
Table of Contents
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 Companys
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 Companys 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 entitys 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 Companys 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 Companys financial statements.
Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2010, are not expected to have a significant
effect on the Companys 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 childs 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 childs account details (e.g. parental settings and personal preferences) are associated with
this number, which is created by an irreversible algorithm. A copy (or a print) of any users
actual fingerprint is never taken, let alone stored anywhere within the Dolphin Secure system. Only
the unique number created by any users unique fingerprint is kept.
After registration, each time an internet browser or an IM application is attempted to be used on
the computer that is Dolphin Secure, a log-in page is triggered. Children simply enter their user
name and scan their fingerprint. Dolphin Secure then verifies the childs identity by matching the
unique number created by this fingerprint scan with the number associated with the childs user
name in the Dolphin Secure database.
Once a match has been created, the Dolphin Secure system promptly loads each childs personal,
customizable home page within Dolphin Surf. That child is now free to surf to websites, and free to
seek other children to be friends with, that are within the controls established by the parent.
When parents or other adults in the household want to use the same computer, a master username and
password can be entered, which unlocks the computer and allows them to freely access the Internet.
Once the parent logs out, Dolphin Secure is automatically back in place for the next session.
Dolphin Surf
Dolphin Surf is a social network featuring the advanced functionality associated with the leading
online communities and virtual worlds. Kids have the opportunity to create a profile, IM with
approved friends, search for new friends, upload photos, send e-mails and customize a homepage that
includes a widget library of content, friend updates and much more, all under the protection of the
Dolphin Secure system. Children can set their own site themes, backgrounds and add or delete
widgets on their homepage, making their Dolphin Surf experience totally unique to them.
Dolphin Groups
The launch of Dolphin Groups in February 2010 allows all childrens organizations (e.g. schools,
little leagues, after-school programs, charitable organizations, etc.) to create their own
mini-sites within Dolphin Surf.
Any group will have the ability to upload content such as videos and photos to the group page, send
out messages to the whole group, write on an individual members wall, create a calendar,
schedule events, and much more. Of course, the group sites have the full instant messaging
capability that is a revolutionary aspect of Dolphin Secure,
thereby allowing the children to chat live with each other while viewing the groups site. For the
first time, a childrens organization can safely create their own environment with full online
interactivity occurring by their children.

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 childrens 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. Miami-Dade County
Public Schools is the fourth-largest public school system in the country, with a diverse enrollment
of more than 342,000 students from over 100 countries at its 392 schools. Miami-Dade County Public
Schools also has 50,271 employees, including 22,006 teachers. In addition to the safety benefits of
Dolphin Secure, all parties are excited about utilizing Dolphins biometric authentication to help
deliver on the promise of virtual schooling, including online classes available to all students,
as well as live chat for homework help and tutoring.

In March 2010, we entered into a partnership with the Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida to
promote Dolphin Secure and to utilize Dolphin Secures group functionality. The campaign, SOS:
Speak Online Safely, began March 25, 2010. The Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida has over 700
troops and over 16,000 members between Miami-Dade County and Monroe County. Each troop will have
their own group within Dolphin Surf, open only to their members, while the Council as a whole 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 childrens 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

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 SECs 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 Companys internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys 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
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving its objectives. The Companys chief executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that the Companys 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.
