NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Basis of Presentation and Organization
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis.
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. (the “Company”), initially known as Rising Fortune Incorporated, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 1995. The Company was inactive between the years 1995 and 2003. On November 19th, 2003, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Maximum Awards Inc. On July 3, 2007, the Company amended its Articles of 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.
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, Inc. has taken an industry-leading position with respect to internet safety, as well as digital entertainment.
Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Inc. (F/K/A Plays On The Net Inc.) was incorporated in Ontario (Canada) on July 27, 2006. The Company changed it name on October 28, 2008.
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 acquisition of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc resulting in a change of control.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 of $392,377. As of March 31, 2011 the Company recorded an accumulated deficit of approximating $33,560,606. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and it 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc and its subsidiaries, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Inc, Anne’s World Limited and Curtain Rising Inc. for three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 March 31, 2011 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, products have been delivered or 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 purchases a subscription. The Company had revenue of $13,750 and $0 for three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Dolphin Digital Studios will record revenue when deliverables have been completed in accordance with its agreements. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $439,073 and $352,823, respectively.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $332,228 and $1,467 cash and cash equivalents, respectively. 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. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the value of the Company’s inventory was $8,256 and $8,256, 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 Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over fair value or net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is subject to a periodic impairment assessment by applying a fair value test based upon a two-step method. The first step of the process compares the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit, including any goodwill. We utilize a discounted cash flow valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the reporting unit, goodwill is deemed not to be impaired in which case the second step in the process is unnecessary. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment loss. Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill at the reporting unit, with the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value recognized as an impairment loss.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to our current business model.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 10,614,007 shares. There were no dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Business Operations
The Company’s current and planned operations consist of the following:
  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 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 received $359,000 through an Equity Finance Agreement for productions costs of web series.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company focus has primarily been devoted to its new division of the company, Dolphin Digital Studios. Dolphin Digital Studios will create original content that premieres online, with an initial focus on content geared toward tweens and teens. Substantially all of the Company’s operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were derived from its new division.

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 revenue, 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” which 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:
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred $45,000 and $3,200 in advertising costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
ASU No. 2010-11 was issued in March 2010, and clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is an embedded derivative feature that should not be subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements in ASC 820 as well as requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period after December 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the requirements of this accounting pronouncement.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a: subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 “Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“2010-03”) an update of ASC 505 “Equity.” 2010-03 clarifies the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their affect on the computation of earnings per shares. The Company has not and does not intend to declare dividends for preferred to common stock holders. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This standard provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” This ASC changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASC are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 12 — 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 sought 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 sought 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. On March 24, 2011 the parties entered into a confidential Mutual Stipulation and Settlement Agreement wherein they settled all matters between them which were the subject of the Peikin and Gold action.

Business Summary
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. is dedicated to the twin causes of online safety for children and the production of high-quality digital content. 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. Also, with the launch of Dolphin Digital Studios, the Company is at the forefront of the growing digital entertainment sector.
Dolphin Secure
Our core 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.

Table of Contents

   
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”
Dolphin Groups 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).
Dolphin Digital Media has focused much of its recent development efforts on the expansion of the functionality and use of Dolphin Groups. Now, each group is in control of their own pricing, either on a monthly or annual basis, which gives them complete freedom to respond to their own fundraising needs, and to monetize their content on their own digital platform. For the first time, a children’s organization can safely create their own environment with full online interactivity occurring by their children.
In addition, groups now have the ability to “link” with one another. Any group administrator may request affiliation with any other group within Dolphin Surf. If accepted, the group members will receive an invitation to join the new group. For example, a child joining his Little League team group site may be invited to join a fantasy baseball league site selected by his group administrator. Or, a parent purchasing admission for her child into a fan club site for a popular actor may be invited to join the fan club of the actor’s television series.
Furthermore, links between groups can be automatically set-up for each new member, either in single-direction or dual-direction. Single-direction groups simply means that only the members from one group are 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).
It is management’s belief that such “links,” or affiliations with other groups, will allow group administrators to drive membership for their own groups, while enriching the online experience for their members, and that these dual features of affiliation and monetization create a unique and compelling opportunity for any children’s organization or content owner.
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. 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, XP or Vista operating systems, as well as Mac computers.
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.
International Expansion — Germany
On February 8, 2011, the Company announced its entry into the European market by licensing its core product, Dolphin Secure, in Germany. Philip von Alvensleben, a twenty-year veteran of the media space within Germany and the U.S., has formed Dolphin Media Germany and has recruited a team of top-level marketing and technology experts to localize, promote, distribute and support Dolphin Secure within Europe, beginning with the German market.
Under the deal terms, Dolphin Digital Media will receive a royalty from all customer licenses and sales. In turn, Dolphin Media Germany has retained the German-language rights to Dolphin Secure, as well as a right of first negotiation to launch the product in other European territories.
Mr. von Alvensleben is involved in a number of digital and media ventures such as Adconion Media Group, one of the largest online audience networks in the world, as well as Smaato and Burstly, pioneering mobile advertising companies, and Filmaka Inc. and Alive Entertainment. Mr. von Alvensleben’s 20 year career also includes the position of Managing Director at the TeleMunchen Group, one of Germany’s largest media conglomerates, with interests in broadcasting, feature film and television production and distribution, and music.
Dolphin Digital Studios
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company focus has primarily been devoted to its new division of the company, Dolphin Digital Studios. Dolphin Digital Studios will create original content that premieres online, with an initial focus on content geared toward tweens and teens. Substantially all of the Company’s operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were derived from its new division.
Dolphin Digital Studios is a natural fit and progression in the core business of Dolphin Digital Media—entertaining its customers through high-quality digital programming. Furthermore, the web series from Dolphin Digital Studios can be repackaged for distribution into “traditional media,” such as television and home video.

Table of Contents

For distribution into such outlets, Dolphin Digital Studios will capitalize on its existing relationship with Dolphin Entertainment, one of the top independent producers and distributors of children’s programming in the world. Founded in 1996, Dolphin Entertainment is an Emmy-nominated production and distribution company that has recently produced programming for Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Canada’s Family Channel. Dolphin Entertainment currently distributes its children’s programming into 300 million homes in over 100 countries.
The Company expects the launch of Dolphin Digital Studios to create near-term revenue, since the new division already has several projects under development. Web series, in general, have a fairly short development and production cycle, thus allowing for quick distribution (as opposed to traditional television and film models). Thus, the Company anticipates that its financials will be positively impacted shortly after the distribution of any particular web series produced by Dolphin Digital Studios.
Dolphin Digital Studios will ramp up to produce between 6 and 8 web series a year. Some projects may be self-financed, while some projects currently under development will feature strategic and financial partnerships. This will allow Dolphin Digital Studios to have attractive project financing alternatives while developing its slate of programming.
According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8-18 year-olds devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes across a typical day, or more than 53 hours per week, to using entertainment media. This creates a huge opportunity for quality content for this audience, which is no longer merely entertained by traditional television programming. In addition, advertisers have taken notice, with digital-marketing research firm eMarketer estimating that online video ad spending will have grown 48 percent to $1.5 billion in 2010 and will hit $5 billion by 2014.
Warner Bros. Digital Distribution Partnership
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. announced in 2010 the first two productions for Dolphin Digital Studios. These first two live-action multi-platform digital series with top Hollywood talent are being co-financed through an agreement with entertainment industry veteran Dolphin Entertainment (Executive Producer of hit Nickelodeon series Zoey 101) and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.
The first titles produced under this agreement will be the futuristic survival tale H+: The Series from blockbuster Director / Producer Bryan Singer (Director of X-Men, Superman Returns and The Usual Suspects, and Executive Producer of hit television series House) and the action-packed high school spy thriller Aim High from multi-talented Executive Producer and Director McG (Director of Charlie’s Angels, Terminator: Salvation and Executive Producer of television series Chuck and Supernatural).
“H+: The Series”
H+ takes viewers on an episodic two-and-a-half hour, apocalyptic journey into the future where technology has gone horrifically wrong. In 2019, 33% of the world’s population uses a radical new piece of technology — an implanted computer system called H+. This allows a person’s mind and nervous system to be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.
But that same year, a mysterious and vicious computer virus is released, and within seconds millions of people die — leading to radical changes to the political and social landscape of the planet.
H+ is produced by Director / Producer Bryan Singer in association with Bad Hat Harry Productions (House). The series comes from the imaginative minds of writers John Cabrera (Gilmore Girls) and Cosimo de Tommaso who also serve as Executive Producers, directed by Stewart Hendler (Sorority Row) and produced by Lance Sloane (Yucatan). H+ is currently in post-production and was filmed in Santiago Chile.

“Aim High”
Aim High is the story of a young man leading a double life — juggling his studies by day and serving as a government agent by night. This series chronicles the life of Nick Green, a high school sophomore who’s just starting a new school year as one of the country’s 64 highly trained teenage operatives.
When he’s not risking his life on top-secret missions, Nick is dreaming of Amanda Meyers, the most popular girl in school, who’s cool, intelligent, and very alluring. Amanda mercilessly flirts with Nick, but before he can enjoy her advances he has to avoid Derek — her overly protective boyfriend who threatens him for even looking at her.
Aim High comes from Director/ Producer McG, production company Wonderland Sound and Vision, and production services were provided by Bandito Brothers. Peter Murrieta, who served as Executive Producer for the Disney Channel mega-hit Wizards of Waverly Place, is the Executive Producer. The series is written by Heath Corson (Living with Abandon / Scary Godmother) and Richie Keen (Living with Abandon), who also serve as Executive Producers, directed by Thor Freudenthal (Hotel for Dogs/ Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and produced by Lance Sloane (Yucatan).
Jackson Rathbone, best known for his role as the scarred vampire “Jasper Hale” in the Twilight movie series, stars as teenage government operative “Nick Green.” He is joined by Aimee Teegarden, known to loyal Friday Night Lights fans as “Julie Taylor,” who stars as Nick’s charming love interest “Amanda Miles.”
Aim High also stars Rebecca Mader (Lost) as Nick’s sultry science teacher “Ms. Walker,” Johnny Pemberton (Megadrive) as the well connected best friend “Marcus,” Clancy Brown (Highlander) as Russian mercenary “Boris the Bear,” Jonathan McDaniel (That’s So Raven) as Amanda’s jealous boyfriend and swim team captain “Derek Long,” and Greg Germann (Ally McBeal) as the protective “Vice Principal Ockenhocker.”

DE has successfully launched international merchandising lines for its children’s properties in nearly every consumer category, including publishing, apparel, sleepwear, accessories, and cosmetics.
We hold a multiyear exclusive licensing agreement with DE. Under the terms of our 10 year agreement, DE will work with us to create and manage social networking websites which will be themed around DE’s own branded properties.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010
The Company had limited revenues of $13,750 from licensing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0 for three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company expects to begin generate additional revenues from Dolphin Secure, Dolphin Surf websites and Dolphin Digital Media during fiscal 2011.

The Company has largely relied on loans from the CEO to meet working capital requirements. To date, it has received a net total of $1,286,361 in loans from him. There is no guarantee that Mr. O’Dowd will continue to loan the Company money. During the first quarter of 2011, we received $100,000 from the pay down of warrants and $459,000 in advances for future production.
As of March 31, 2011, we had cash of $332,228 and a working capital deficit of $3,533,892.
Our independent auditors issued an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010, our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010, and our level of working capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising any necessary additional capital.

Critical Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolphin Digital Media Inc and its subsidiaries, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Inc, Anne’s World Limited and Curtain Rising Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011 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 purchases a subscription. The Company had limited revenues of $13,750 from licensing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0 for three months ended March 31, 2010. Dolphin Digital Studios will record revenue when deliverables have been completed in accordance with its agreements. As March 31, 2011 the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $439,073.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $332,228 and $1,467 cash and cash equivalents, respectively. 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the value of the Company’s inventory was $8,256 and $8,256, 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 Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over fair value or net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is subject to a periodic impairment assessment by applying a fair value test based upon a two-step method. The first step of the process compares the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit, including any goodwill. We utilize a discounted cash flow valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the reporting unit, goodwill is deemed not to be impaired in which case the second step in the process is unnecessary. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment loss. Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill at the reporting unit, with the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value recognized as an impairment loss.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to our current business model.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 10,614,007 shares. There were no dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Business Operations
The Company’s current and planned operations consist of the following:
  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 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 received $359,000 through an Equity Finance Agreement for productions costs of web series.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company focus has primarily been devoted to its new division of the company, Dolphin Digital Studios. Dolphin Digital Studios will create original content that premieres online, with an initial focus on content geared toward tweens and teens. Substantially all of the Company’s operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were derived from its new division.
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 revenue, 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” which 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:
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred $45,000 and $3,200 in advertising costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
ASU No. 2010-11 was issued in March 2010, and clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is an embedded derivative feature that should not be subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements in ASC 820 as well as requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period after December 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the requirements of this accounting pronouncement.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a: subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 “Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“2010-03”) an update of ASC 505 “Equity.” 2010-03 clarifies the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their affect on the computation of earnings per shares. The Company has not and does not intend to declare dividends for preferred to common stock holders. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This standard provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” This ASC changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASC are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4.  
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2011.
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.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

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 sought 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. 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 sought 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 Federal 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 sued Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. for: 1) breach of contract; 2) promissory estoppel; 3) fraud in the inducement; and 4) negligent misrepresentation and Gold 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, and Counterclaims 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 Counterclaims and the Third-Party Claim alleged among other things, fraud, civil theft, unjust enrichment and conversion and seek an accounting. On March 24, 2011 the parties entered into a confidential Mutual Stipulation and Settlement Agreement wherein they settled all matters between them which were the subject of the actions.
On or about January 25, 2010, an action was filed by Tom David against Winterman Group Limited, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Ltd., Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario (Canada) alleging breach of a commercial lease and breach of a personal guaranty. On or about March 18, 2010, Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale filed a Statement of Defense and Crossclaim. In the Statement of Defense, Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale deny any liability under the lease and guaranty. In the Crossclaim filed against Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Ltd., Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale seek contribution or indemnity against Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Ltd. alleging that Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) agreed to relieve Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale from any and all liability with respect to the lease or the guaranty. On or about March 19, 2010, Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale filed a Third Party Claim against the Company seeking contribution or indemnity against the Company, formerly known as Logica Holdings, Inc., alleging that the Company agreed to relieve Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale from any and all liability with respect to the lease or the guaranty. The Third Party Claim was served on the Company on April 6, 2010. On or about April 1, 2010, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) filed a Statement of Defense and Crossclaim. In the Statement of Defense, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) denied any liability under the lease and in the Crossclaim against Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) seeks contribution or indemnity against Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale alleging that the leased premises were used by Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale for their own use. On or about April 1, 2010, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) also filed a Statement of Defense to the Crossclaim denying any liability to indemnify Winterman Group Limited, Malcolm Stockdale and Sara Stockdale. The ultimate results of these proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty.
