PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Introduction
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. |
||
| • | 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.
3
Table of Contents
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).

Table of Contents
During 2010, Dolphin Digital Media focused much of its 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 it’s 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
As a new division of the company, Dolphin Digital Studios will create original content that
premieres online, with an initial focus on content geared toward tweens and teens.
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.
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.

Table of Contents
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 grow 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).

and South Africa, among many others. DE has successfully launched international merchandising lines
for its children’s properties in nearly every consumer category, including publishing, apparel,
sleepwear, accessories, and cosmetics.

themed around DE’s own branded properties.
Corporate History
Dolphin Digital Media, initially known as Rising Fortune Incorporated, was incorporated in the
State of Nevada on March 7, 1995. We were inactive between the years 1995 and 2003.
On December 5, 2003, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Maximum
Awards, Inc., in connection with the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Maximum Awards.
Maximum Awards was an Australian company engaged in the business of operating a consumer rewards
program through which consumers earned points by purchasing products and services offered by the
company and its program partners.
On June 1, 2004, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Travel Easy Holidays
Pty Ltd (“TEH”) and Global Business Group Pty Ltd (“GBH”) from Maxwell Thomas and Michael Sullivan.
These corporations were involved in the travel industry and mail order industries and were acquired
to add to our rewards program operations by providing an in-house travel agency and a consumer
products retailer.
In June 2004 we acquired Global Business Group Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited
corporation, organized under the law of the Province of Queensland, Australia in June 2003. Global

On May 29, 2007, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Maximum
Awards Inc. to Logica Holdings, Inc.
On July 9, 2007, we acquired (i) Plays On The Net Plc and its subsidiary, Plays On The Net
Inc., which provided a web based platform for writers to share their work, to communicate with
fellow dramatists and to explore new ideas, which includes an extensive retail site for book, audio
downloads and all-round theatre information; (ii) Curtain Rising Inc., which provided an online
database for theatres and a bi-weekly online theatre magazine; and (iii) Anne’s World Limited, a
company that held the license for a secure social networking website for children. We issued
12,000,000 shares of our common stock as consideration in the acquisitions. The acquisitions
resulted in a change of control and were accounted for as a reverse merger.
On August 7, 2007, we amended our articles of incorporation to change the par value of our
common stock from $0.001 per share to $0.015 per share.
On September 30, 2007, we sold 100% of our Australian subsidiaries; Maximum Awards Pty
Limited, Travel Easy Holidays Pty Ltd and Global Business Group Pty Ltd to Elko Group Pty Limited,
an Australian company controlled by Maxwell A. Thomas, a former executive officer of the Company.
On June 23, 2008, we obtained an exclusive license to Dolphin Entertainment’s family
entertainment brand properties through the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Dolphin
Digital Media (“DDM”), a newly formed Delaware corporation wholly owned by Mr. O’Dowd. In
consideration of the acquisition, we issued 24,063,735 shares of our common stock (constituting
fifty-one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock) to Mr. O’Dowd, and appointed Mr.
O’Dowd our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. At the time of the
acquisition, DDM was the grantee of an exclusive ten-year worldwide license from Dolphin
Entertainment, dated as of the date of the closing of the acquisition, to use Dolphin
Entertainment’s family entertainment brand properties. This license was the sole asset of DDM at
the time of the acquisition, and DDM had not yet commenced planned principal operations. Under the
license, we are authorized to use Dolphin Entertainment’s brand properties in connection with the
creation, promotion and operation of subscription based Internet social networking websites for
children and young adults. The license requires that we pay to Dolphin Entertainment royalties at
the rate of fifteen percent of our net sales from performance of the licensed activities. As Mr.
O’Dowd is considered a related party under applicable accounting rules, we recorded the assets of
DDM at their historical cost.
On July 29, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Logica
Holdings, Inc. to Dolphin Digital Media, Inc.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
We are a development stage company and we have limited historical operations. We urge you to
consider our likelihood of success and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by entities at similar stages of development. The following is a summary of
certain risks we face. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks of which we are not
presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business and results
of operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to the occurrence of any of
these risks, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. In assessing these risks,
investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain Risk Factors Relating to our Business
Our independent auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
In the footnotes to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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.
We may need to raise additional capital in the near future, and, if we are unable to secure
adequate funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to support our business plan and be required
to suspend operations.
We may need to raise additional capital in the near term, and may seek to do so by conducting
one or more private placements of equity securities, selling additional securities in a registered
public offering, or through a combination of one or more of such financing alternatives. There can
be no assurance that any additional capital resources will be available to us as and when required,
or on terms that will be acceptable to us.
The following terms of our October 2007 financing, as amended, will make obtaining additional
financing with acceptable terms more difficult and/or expensive: (i) no dividends may be paid with
respect to common stock while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, unless said dividends are paid
pro rata to the holders of the Preferred Stock; (ii) as long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding,
the Company may not, without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Stock, authorize or
create authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets
upon a liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Preferred Stock, or any preferred
stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the
Preferred Stock; (iii) the Preferred Stock is entitled to a $0.25 per share preferred distribution,
prior to any distribution to holders of common stock, upon a liquidation of the Company; (iv) for a
period of 5 years post closing, the Company is prohibited from effecting or entering into an
agreement to effect any subsequent financing involving a transaction in which the Company issues or
sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of common stock either (a) at a conversion, exercise
or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or
quotations for the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity securities, or (b) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the
occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the
Company or the market for the common stock exclusive in all cases of stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalization and other similar rights, or, a transaction in which the Company issues or sells
any securities in a capital raising transaction or series of related transactions which grants to
an investor the right to receive additional shares based upon future transactions of the Company on
terms more favorable than those granted to such investor in such offering; and (v) the Company, at
any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall not issue rights, options or warrants to
holders of common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a
price per share less than $0.25 without the prior consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
If we are unable to raise the capital required on a timely basis, we may not be able to fund
our projects and the development of the businesses of our subsidiaries. In such event, we may be
required to suspend our plan of operations. Moreover, even if the necessary funding is available to
us, the issuance of additional securities would dilute the equity interests of our existing
stockholders, perhaps substantially.
Our success depends on the attraction and retention of senior management and technicians with
relevant expertise.
Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued services of William
O’Dowd, IV who conceived the business and overall operating strategy, has been most instrumental in
assisting us in raising capital and currently serves as our executive officer. Our ability to
execute our strategy also will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified technicians
and sales, marketing and additional managerial personnel. If we are unable to
find, hire and retain qualified individuals, we could have difficulty implementing our
business plan in a timely manner, or at all.

Our international operations expose us to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign
currencies.
As part of our international operations, from time to time in the regular course of business,
we convert dollars into foreign currencies and vice versa. The value of the dollar against other
currencies is subject to market fluctuations, and the exchange rate may or may not be in our favor.
We may divest assets to reflect changes in our strategy.
We have begun divesting businesses and assets that we have determined no longer fit our
strategy. We may undertake divestiture transactions when we believe there is a financial or
strategic benefit to us in doing so. Such divestitures, should they occur, may result in losses.
There may also be costs and liabilities that we incur or retain in connection with these
divestitures.
We may be unable to successfully divest non-strategic assets and, if we incorrectly evaluate
the strategic fit and valuation of divested businesses or assets, we may forego opportunities that
would otherwise have benefited our business.
A number of factors may cause our consolidated operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly
or annual basis, which may make it difficult to predict our future operating results.
We expect our consolidated revenues and expenses to fluctuate, making it difficult to predict
our future operating results. Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:
| • | demand in the markets that we serve; |
||
| • | our ability to define, design and release new products that meet
customer needs, and to do so quickly and cost effectively; |
||
| • | market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products; |
||
| • | variations in the performance of our businesses; |
||
| • | our ability to forecast demand in the markets that we serve; |
||
| • | general economic conditions in the countries where we operate; and |
||
| • | changes in exchange rates, interest rates and tax rates. |
Any of the above factors, many of which are beyond our control, could significantly harm our
business and results of operations. The results of a prior quarter or annual period should not be
relied upon as an indicator of future operating performance.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to our Common Stock
The market for common stock is limited, and you may not be able to sell the shares of our
common stock that you hold.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, not on a national securities
exchange. Therefore, our common stock is thinly traded, the market for purchases and sales of our
common stock is limited and the sale of a limited number of shares could cause the price to fall
significantly. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock quickly without
significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued
investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations
in the price of the stock.
11
Table of Contents
Stockholder interest in us may be substantially diluted as a result of the sale or issuance of
additional securities pursuant to existing commitments and to fund our plan of operation.
Issuances of additional shares of common stock would result in dilution of the percentage
interest in our common stock of all stockholders ratably and might result in dilution in the
tangible net book value of a share of our common stock, depending upon the price and other terms on
which the additional shares are issued. In addition, the issuance of additional shares of common
stock upon exercise of the warrants or stock options, or even the prospect of such issuance, may
have an effect on the market for our common stock and may have an adverse impact on the price at
which shares of our common stock trade.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about our business or if
they make adverse recommendations regarding an investment in our common stock, our stock price and
trading volume may decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research reports that
industry or securities analysts publish about our business. We do not currently have, and may never
obtain, research coverage by industry or securities analysts. If no industry or securities analysts
commence coverage of us, the trading price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. In the
event, we obtain industry or security analyst coverage, and if one or more of the analysts
downgrade our stock or comment negatively on our prospects, our stock price would likely decline.
If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or our industry or fails to publish reports
about us regularly, our common stock could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could
also cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
We may be the subject of securities class action litigation due to future stock price
volatility.
Our common stock price has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future.
We expect that the market price of our common stock will likely continue to fluctuate significantly
and remain highly volatile. We will not have control over the factors that cause such volatility.
Historically, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have often
initiated securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of
our stockholders bring a similar lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the
lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from the operation
of our business.
We do not intend to declare cash dividends on our common stock.
We will not distribute any cash to our stockholders until and unless we can develop sufficient
funds from operations to meet our ongoing needs and implement our business plan. As a result, your
only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in us will be if the market price of our
common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit. The future market price for our
common stock may never exceed the price that you pay for our common stock.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
As of the date of this report, we do not own any real property. Our executive offices are now
at 804 Douglas Road, Executive Tower Building, Suite 365, Coral Gables, Florida 33134. The Company
does not have a lease agreement as it shares its offices with those of Dolphin Entertainment. We
believe our current facilities are adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On October 15, 2008,
a lawsuit was filed between the Company and Mirador Consulting, Inc., in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Plaintiffs are alleging and seeking, among other
things, that the Company had breached an agreement to pay Mirador Consulting, Inc., a finder’s fee
of $1,000,000 in connection with a business deal that the Company undertook. While the ultimate
results of these proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management
believes the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Since the above mentioned matter was filed there has been no further
activity.
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.

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 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, Dolphin Digital Media
(Canada) Inc, Anne’s World Limited and Curtain Rising Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010 and
2009. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect
the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management
evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Table of Contents
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to December 31, 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 purchases a
subscription. The Company had no revenue during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Dolphin Digital Studios will record revenue when deliverables have been completed in accordance
with its agreements. As December 31, 2010 the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $352,823.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no cash and cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method. These inventories consisted of fingerprint readers. At December 31, 2010 and
December 31 2009 the value of the Company’s inventory was $8,256 and $91,860, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of
the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed
of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized
thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and
betterments are capitalized. The range of estimated useful lives to be used to calculate
depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
| Depreciation/ | ||
| Amortization | ||
| Asset Category | Period | |
Furniture and Fixture |
5 Years | |
Computer equipment |
3 Years | |
Leasehold improvements |
5 Years |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, formerly, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective
July 1, 2002. As a result, the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill, and instead annually
evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment, in accordance with the provisions of ACS
Topic 350, formerly SFAS No. 142. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible represents the excess of
the cost of investments in subsidiaries over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired.
17
Table of Contents
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company has adopted ACS Topic 220, formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”
(“SFAS 130”), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of
Stockholders’ Deficit.
Comprehensive income (loss) comprises a gain or loss on foreign currency translation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements
of the Company’s Canadians subsidiary translated to the United States dollar using the period
exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.
Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction
occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the
statements of operations and stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income (loss).
Loss per share
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 Earnings Per Share,
Loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock warrants were not included in
the computation of loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion is
anti-dilutive. The total potential dilutive warrants and stock options outstanding at December 31,
2010 was 10,614,007 shares. There were no dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2010.
Business Segments
The Company operates the following business segments:
| • | Dolphin Digital Media (USA): The Company’s primary business model is monthly and
annual membership fees in the US for subscriptions to Dolphinsecure.com |
| • | Dolphin Digital Studios is a new division of the Company that will create original
programming that premieres online, with an initial focus geared toward teens and
tweens. Dolphin Digital Studios had no transactions during 2010. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, inventory, advances, account payable, deferred licensing fees, notes payables, and
other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures
and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
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.
18
Table of Contents
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 December 31, 2010
and 2009. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had no revenue and
therefore no concentration of sales.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in
the future are summarized below.
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505) — Accounting for
Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505. ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain
distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such
distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively
and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual
periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early
adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s
(consolidated) financial position and results of operations.
Ownership of a Subsidiary—a 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 Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820): — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies
improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures — Overall
Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and
clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and
settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within
those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods
ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption
of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined,
evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update
also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events
have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this
guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation”
(Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee
share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a
substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not
classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this
Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on
or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect
adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year
in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently
since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately.
Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates No. 2010-21 (ASU No. 2010-21)
“Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules” and No. 2010-22 (ASU No.
2010-22) “Accounting for Various Topics — Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”. ASU No 2010-21
amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release no. 33-9026: Technical Amendments
to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. ASU No. 2010-22 amends
various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which
amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. Both ASU No. 2010-21 and ASU No. 2010-22 are
effective upon issuance. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-21 and No. 2010-22 will not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Other ASUs not effective until after December 31, 2010, are not expected to have a significant
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. 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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.
Limitations on Effectiveness of
Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Background and Qualifications of Directors
When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications,
attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight
responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Company’s Board

our business. As more specifically described in the biographies set forth above, our directors
possess relevant knowledge and experience, industry-specific and otherwise, in the family
entertainment, Internet networking, legal, and business fields generally, which we believe enhances

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of May 6, 2011
by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our common
stock, by each director, by each named executive officer, and by all directors and executive

On November 18, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Dolphin Entertainment, Inc.,
for production services related to two digital episodic series. The total amount of the contract is $200,000.
On June 23, 2008, we obtained an exclusive license to Dolphin Entertainment’s family
entertainment brand properties through the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Dolphin
Digital Media (“DDM”), a newly formed Delaware corporation wholly owned by Mr. O’Dowd. At the time
of the acquisition, DDM was the grantee of an exclusive ten-year worldwide license from Dolphin
Entertainment, dated as of the date of the closing of the acquisition, to use Dolphin
Entertainment’s family entertainment brand properties. This license was the sole asset of DDM at
the time of the acquisition, and DDM had not yet commenced planned principal operations. Under the
license, we are authorized to use Dolphin Entertainment’s brand properties in connection with the
creation,
promotion and operation of subscription based Internet social networking websites for children
and young adults. The license requires that we pay to Dolphin Entertainment royalties at the rate
of fifteen percent of our net sales from performance of the licensed activities.
In consideration of the acquisition, we issued that number of shares of our common stock
constituting fifty-one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock to Mr. O’Dowd.
Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, we appointed Mr. O’Dowd our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, we granted to Mr. O’Dowd certain
anti-dilution protection for five (5) years from the date of the acquisition under which we agreed
to issue such number of shares of our common stock as necessary for Mr. O’Dowd to maintain his
fifty-one percent ownership any time that we issue additional shares to a party other than Mr.
O’Dowd, or upon the exercise by any such party of options, warrants, notes or other securities
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any share of our common stock. As
consideration for the agreement the shareholder has agreed to become the Chairman and CEO of the
Company. As the shareholder is considered a related party on SAB 48 the Company has recorded the
assets of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc at their historical cost.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc.
Miami, Florida
Dolphin Digital Media, Inc.
Miami, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We have conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Company has incurred significant losses and has capital and working capital
deficiencies, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DOLPHIN DIGITAL MEDIA, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Basis of Presentation and Organization
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

issued and outstanding share for the period ended June 30, 2008 was 47,183,793. The acquisition was

Logica Holdings.
In September 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.
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 year ended December 31, 2010 of
$5,568,883. As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded an accumulated deficit of approximating
$33,168,229. 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 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 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, Dolphin Digital Media (Canada) Inc, Anne’s World
Limited and Curtain Rising Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-7
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 December 31, 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, 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 no revenue during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Dolphin
Digital Studios will record revenue when deliverables have been completed in accordance with its
agreements. As of December 31, 2010 the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $352,823.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 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. As of December 31, 2010 and
2009 the value of the Company’s inventory was $8,256 and $91,860, 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 |

Table of Contents
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 December 31, 2010 was
10,614,007 shares. There were no dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2010.
Business Segments
The Company operates the following business segments:
| 1) | Dolphin Digital Media (USA): The Company’s primary business
model is monthly and annual membership fees in the US for

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 $15,257 and $4,735 in advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2010
and 2009, 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.

Table of Contents
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 consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 4 — ADVANCES
On June 28, 2010 the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire 24eight, LLC a privately held
company based in Manhattan. 24eight is a technology company that specializes in real-time motion

to customary due diligence and execution of a definitive agreement. Management has decided not to
proceed with the acquisition and is expecting repayment of the advances. As of December 31, 2010,

||
| b) | 1,500,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share. |
||
| c) | 1,500,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $2.00 per share. |
On March 10, 2010 the Company and T Squared Investments LLC agrees to cancel the following
warrants:
| • | Warrant “A” for 650,000 shares; |
||
| • | Warrant “B” for 1,500,000 shares; |
||
| • | Warrant “C” for 1,500,000 shares; and, |
||
| • | Warrant “4” for 384,615 shares. |
Post such cancellation, the only warrants held by T Squared Investments LLC was their existing
Warrant “D” for 231,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and the following
warrant below. Pursuant to this agreement the expiration date of Warrant “D” was reduced from July
29, 2014 to December 31, 2012.
In consideration for the cancellation of such warrants above and for the payment to Dolphin Digital
Media, Inc. (DPDM) described below, T Squared Investments LLC was issued a new Warrant “E” for
7,000,000 shares of DPDM with an expiration date of December 31, 2012 and an exercise price of
$0.25 per share.
T Squared Investments LLC wired Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to the Company, which
resulted in the effective reduction of the exercise price of Warrant “E” from $0.25 per share to
$0.2214 per share. T Squared Investments LLC can continually pay the Company an amount of money to
reduce the exercise price of Warrant “E” until such time as the exercise price of Warrant “E” is
effectively $0.0001 per share. Each time a payment by T Squared Investments LLC is made to DPDM, a
side letter will be executed by both parties that states the new effective exercise price of
Warrant “E” at that time. At such time when T Squared Investments LLC has paid down Warrant “E” to
an exercise price of $0.0001 per share or less, T Squared Investments LLC shall have the right to
exercise Warrant “E” via a cashless provision and hold for six months to remove the legend under
Rule 144.
T Squared Investments LLC may not exercise such warrant if post the exercise, T Squared Investments
LLC would be above the 9.99% ownership level of the Company.
The Company incurred an expense of $945,615 as a result of the repricing of these warrants. The
fair value of the warrants was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, volatility 136%,
risk-free interest rate of 1%, and expected warrant life of 18 months.

NOTE 15 — LITIGATION
On October 15, 2008, a lawsuit was filed between the Company and Mirador Consulting, Inc., in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Plaintiffs are alleging and
seeking, among other things, that the Company had breached an agreement to pay Mirador Consulting,
Inc., a finder’s fee of $1,000,000 in connection with a business deal that the Company
undertook. While the ultimate results of these proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted
with certainty, management believes the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the

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.
