ITEM 4.02     Non Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
 

    On August 14, 2013, the management team, along with members of the Board of Directors, of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. (the “Company”) conclusively determined that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31,  2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended, June 30 and September 30,2008; March 31, June 30, September 30, 2009; March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2010; March 31, June 30, September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (the “Previously Issued Financial Statements”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain certain errors that materially impact the Previously Issued Financial Statements.  Accordingly, these Previously Issued Financial Statements and related financial information should no longer be relied upon.
 
    Pursuant to the Stock and Purchase Agreement dated June 23, 2008, William O’Dowd purchased 51% (majority share) of the Company.  As part of the agreement, anti-dilution protection was given for a period of five years from the date of the agreement, when Company shares or options, warrants, notes or other instruments convertible into Company shares were issued to a third party.  The Company should have accounted for this as a derivative liability measured at fair value in the initial and subsequent reporting periods.  The changes in fair value at each reporting period should have been recorded through earnings.
 
    The Company has discussed this matter with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditors”), Crowe Horwath, LLP and predecessor auditor RBSM LLP. The Company is currently assessing the best format for restating these financial statements.   In addition, Management will be reassessing modification of its previously issued disclosures on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K/A and Item 4 on 10Q/A.
