PART I

 

ITEM1. BUSINESS.

General

Digital Creative Development Corporation (the “Company”) was principally engaged in creating and providing media content to businesses and consumers as well as managing its ownership interest in Broadcaster, Inc. (“Broadcaster”), formerly known as International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI”). Prior to this, the Company’s primary business was the operation, franchising, ownership and development of fast food restaurant concepts. Currently the Company does not have existing operations.

Plan of Business

The Company intends to locate and enter into a transaction with an existing, public or privately-held company that in management's view has growth potential (a "Target Business"). A transaction with a Target Business may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the Company's common stock for stock or assets of the Target Business or any other form which will result in the combined enterprise remaining a publicly-held corporation. Acquisitions or business combinations may not be available at the times or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, acquiring, or combining with, a business involves many risks, including:

 

  · unforeseen obligations or liabilities;
   
  · difficulty assimilating the acquired operations and personnel;
   
  · risks of entering markets in which we have little or no direct prior experience;
   
  · potential impairment of relationships with employees or customers as a result of changes in management; and
   
  · potential dilutive issuances of equity, large and immediate write-offs, the incurrence of debt, and amortization of goodwill or other intangible assets.

 

The Company cannot make assurances that it will make any acquisitions or business combinations or that it will be able to obtain financing for such acquisitions or combinations. If any acquisitions or combinations are made, the Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to successfully integrate the acquired or combined business into operations or that the acquired or combined business will perform as expected. Furthermore, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of transactions. Management will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective transaction and will endeavor to structure a transaction so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to the tax treatment of a particular consummated transaction. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a transaction, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, a target business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations as well as other relevant factors will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular transaction, which could be effected through various forms by a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition. Pending negotiation and consummation of a transaction, the Company anticipates that it will have, aside from carrying on its search for a transaction partner, no business activities, and, thus, no source of revenue. Should the Company incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination with a Target Business, it may not be able to satisfy, without additional financing, such liabilities as are incurred.

Employees

As of June 30, 2013 and through the present, the Company has no employees. Gary Herman, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary and Skuli Thorvaldsson the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer serve on a management consulting basis.

Mr. Thorvaldsson became Interim Chief Financial Officer effective May 1, 2013, upon the sudden passing of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Vincent De Lorenzo.

Acquisitions

The Company has never held itself out as an investment company. Its historical development had been focused almost exclusively on restaurant, software and digital entertainment businesses. Although the Company continues to search for candidates with which to enter into business combinations or strategic transactions, it does not have an operating business except for its ownership interest in Broadcaster, Inc. As of September 27, 2013 the Company owns approximately 3,000,000 shares of common stock of Broadcaster, or approximately 9.0% of the total outstanding shares. An additional 225,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 0.43% of Broadcaster, Inc. is beneficially owned by Gary Herman, the Company’s Chairman, and 1,378,975 shares of common stock, or approximately 4.1% of Broadcaster, Inc. is beneficially owned by Bruce Galloway, the Company’s former chairman. Furthermore, 2,871,527 shares of common stock, or approximately 8.5% are owned by Strategic Turnaround Equity Partners, LP (Cayman) an investment fund co-managed by the Company’s Chairman.

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act” ) was primarily meant to regulate investment companies, which generally include families of mutual funds of the type offered by the Fidelity and Vanguard organizations, to pick two of many, closed-end investment companies that are traded on the public stock markets, and certain non-managed pooled investment vehicles such as unit investment trusts. These entities are in the business of investing, reinvesting and trading in securities and generally own relatively diversified portfolios of publicly traded securities that are issued by companies not controlled by these entities. A company can, either deliberately or inadvertently, come to have the defining characteristics of an investment company within the meaning of the Act without proclaiming that fact or being willing to voluntarily submit itself to regulation as an acknowledged investment company. The Act and rules under it contain provisions to differentiate true operating companies from companies that may be considered to have sufficient investment-company-like characteristics to require regulation by the Act s complex procedural and substantive requirements. These provisions apply to companies that own or hold securities, as well as companies that invest, reinvest and trade in securities, and particularly focus on determining the primary nature of a Company’s activities, including whether an investing company controls and does business through the entities in which it invests or, instead, holds its securities investments passively and not as part of an operating business. For instance, under what is, for most purposes, the most liberal of the relevant tests, a company may become subject to the Act’s registration requirements if it either holds more than 45% of its assets in, or derives more than 45% of its income from, investments in companies that the investor does not primarily control or through which it does not actively do business. In making these determinations the Act generally requires that a Company’s assets be valued on a current fair market value basis, determined on the basis of securities public trading price or, in the case of illiquid securities and other assets, in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

The Company has a significant position in Broadcaster, Inc. and believes that it has a minimum of one year after it no longer controls Broadcaster to comply with the provisions of the Act since it no longer controls Broadcaster.

In 2012, Broadcaster withdrew its registration of securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the SEC takes the view that the Company has been operating and continues to operate as an unregistered investment company in violation of the Act, and does not provide the Company with a sufficient period to either register as an investment company or divest itself of investment securities and/or acquire non-investment securities, the Company may be subject to significant potential penalties.

In the absence of exemptions granted by the SEC (which are discretionary in nature and require the SEC to make certain findings), the Company would be required either to register as a closed-end investment company or a business development company under the Act. If the Company elects to register as a closed-end investment company under the Act, a number of significant requirements will be imposed upon the Company, including limits on the values of its investment securities as a percentage of its total assets, the make-up of its board of directors and transactions with affiliates. In order to comply with the Act, the Company may need to acquire additional operating assets that would have a material effect on the Company’s operations. There can be no assurance that the Company could identify such operating assets to acquire or could successfully acquire such assets. Any such acquisition could result in the Company issuing additional shares that may dilute the equity of the Company’s existing stockholders, and/or result in the Company incurring additional indebtedness, which could have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations. Any of the above risks could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The amount of office space currently utilized by the Company is not significant.

ITEM3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Common Stock was recorded on the OTC Bulletin Board with the symbol “DCDC”. In May 2009, the Company's stock was delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-QSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The stock is now traded on the Pink Sheets. On September 27, 2013 the number of record holders of the Company's Common Stock was 484.

Dividends

In November and December 1997, the Company consummated a private placement with respect to equity units consisting of shares of its Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $990,000. The Company sold 9,900 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with warrants to purchase 148,500 shares of common stock attached. The preferred stock is not convertible, but may be redeemed at the option of the Company at a redemption price of $100/share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, at any time. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually, if and when the Board declares a dividend. On April 30, 2013, the holders of an aggregate of 9,400 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, representing 95% of the total number of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, converted their shares of Series C Preferred into an aggregate of 25,509,721 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company declared a dividend payable of $66,113 for the remaining holders who had not converted their Series C Preferred Shares.

On September 28, 1998, the Company sold 4,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants with gross proceeds of an aggregate amount of $400,000. The preferred stock is convertible into 400,000 shares of common stock. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend of 15% per annum, payable semi-annually, if and when the Board declares a dividend. On April 30, 2013, the holders of an aggregate of 4,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, representing 100% of the total number of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred, converted their shares of Series D Preferred into an aggregate of 14,899,747 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

To date, the Company has been current with dividends due to preferred shareholders, except for the Series A Preferred stock; the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition, and other relevant factors. The Company does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations. No dividends may be distributed with respect to the Common Stock so long as there are accrued and unpaid dividends on any Preferred Stock. The amount of accumulated and undeclared dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock was approximately $6,600 as of June 30, 2013.

ITEM6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

ITEM7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The financial and business analysis below provides information that the Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. This financial and business analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Certain matters and statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Wherever possible, the Company has identified these forward-looking statements by words such as "anticipates," "may," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "expects" "intends," and words of similar import. In addition to the statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company and its representatives may from time to time make other oral or written forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in or contemplated by the statements. These assumptions, risks, and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business conditions, including the timing or extent of any recovery of the economy, the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the Company operates and other risks and uncertainties. All such forward-looking statements may be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, and therefore, those statements may turn out to be incorrect. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of filing or publication. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in any of its press releases. This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or the future performance of the Company. Prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and those actual events or results may differ materially.

 

Results of Operations Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012

The Company had no operating revenues in fiscal years 2013 or 2012. General and administrative expenses were $120K and $100K in the respective 2013 and 2012 fiscal years; the increase of $20K is due to the audit fees. Other income (expenses) increased $150K from $209K in 2012 to $359K in 2013. The increase was mostly due to two offsetting non-cash activities: (1) the Company realized a gain of $2.56M on settling notes payable and accrued expenses with the issuance of shares of common stock and (2) the Company determined that the unrealized loss on available for sale marketable securities is other than temporary and reclassified the $2.72M from other comprehensive income to the statement of operations. To a lesser degree, interest decreased $14K due to the settlement occurring two months before June 30, 2013. The Company continues to search for a business it deems suitable for acquisition or similar transaction.

New Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $149,098 at June 30, 2013, compared to current liabilities exceeding its current assets by $2,656,300 at June 30, 2012. The change in working capital is primarily the result of continuing operating losses, which was partially offset by the conversion of the Company’s 10% promissory notes, 15% promissory note and various notes to affiliates as well as vendors into 32,897,034 shares of the Company’s common stock (see below). Current and Total Liabilities were $149,098 and $2,656,300 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In April 2003, the Company issued $345,000 of secured promissory notes with interest at 10% to a group of seven investors. On April 30, 2013, all of these notes and accrued and unpaid interest, which amounted to $1,260,836, were converted into 14,734,222 shares of the Company’s common stock which had a market value of $147,342. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of $1,113,494 from this transaction.

On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into a 15% one-year note (the “Note”) with IMSI (n/k/a “Broadcaster”) whereby the Company borrowed $350,000. On January 5, 2005, Broadcaster sold and assigned the Note, which then had a principal amount of $325,000, to Mag-Multi Corporation ("Mag-Multi"). On April 30, 2013, Mag-Multi converted the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, which amounted to $607,971 into 7,152,246 shares of the Company’s common stock which had a market value of $71,522. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of $536,449 from this transaction.

The Company is dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

ITEM7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company’s equity investments are concentrated in Broadcaster, Inc. At June 30, 2013, 100% of the total fair value of equity investments was concentrated in Broadcaster, Inc. The Company’s present preferred strategy is to hold equity investments for trading purposes and for long-term strategic purposes. Thus, the Company’s management is not necessarily troubled by short term equity price volatility with respect to its investments provided that the underlying business, economic and management characteristics of the investees remain favorable. The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risks are based on quoted market prices or management s estimates of fair value as of the balance sheet dates. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold. Insofar as the Company’s liabilities are concerned, all loans to the Company have been made with fixed interest rates, and, accordingly, the market risk to the Company prior to the maturity of those instruments is minimal.

ITEM8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

The financial statements are filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

None.

 

ITEM9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 have not been designed and are not functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rule and forms. We are, however, working diligently on having these requirements met.

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, an no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

(b)Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

(a)   Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2013 and for the period then ended.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

(b)   There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in an evaluation thereof that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Each Director is elected to serve until the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Executive officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors and each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics, which is administered by the Board of Directors. A copy is available upon request from the Company.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company's common shares to file reports of ownership with the SEC and to furnish the Company with copies of these reports. Based solely upon its review of reports received by it, or upon written representations from certain reporting persons that no reports were required, the Company believes that during fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 all filing requirements were met.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors

We do not currently have an Audit Committee and all actions that would otherwise be handled by the Audit Committee are undertaken by our full Board of Directors. If and when we find a suitable merger candidate and we successfully enter into a merger transaction whereby a company with assets and operations survives, we intend to establish an Audit Committee that fulfills the independent and other requirements promulgated by the SEC. However, recognizing the SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our Board of Directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, our Board of Directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

 

Our Board of Directors may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to our Board of Directors at its next scheduled meeting. Our Board has determined that the services rendered by Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company, LLP are compatible with maintaining their independence as the Company’s principal accountants and independent auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders Digital Creative Development Corporation and Subsidiary

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digital Creative Development Corporation and Subsidiary as of

June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Digital Creative Development Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the result of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations and a net capital and equity deficiency of approximately $149,000 that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital Creative Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, (collectively the "Company"), Digital Creative Development Company (Delaware). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

ORGANIZATION

Digital Creative Development Corporation (the "Company" or "Digital") was originally founded in 1969 as Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Since then, the Company has purchased several businesses and has changed its corporate identity by merging into other corporate entities.

The Company sold its interest in Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, Inc. in 2002 and currently has no active business. In 2001 and 2002, the Company acquired a controlling interest in International Microcomputer Software, Inc. ("IMSI"), (n/k/a Broadcaster, Inc. (“Broadcaster”) which had been a developer and publisher of productivity software in precision design, graphics design and other related business applications, as well as graphics and CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and internet technology. On June 2, 2006 Broadcaster closed on its acquisition of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. The combined company operated an Internet entertainment network under the name Broadcaster. Since its original investment, the Company's ownership interest in Broadcaster has decreased to approximately 9% as of September 27, 2013.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures for stock-based compensation using a fair value based method, whereby the grant date fair value of the share-based awards is charged to expenses over their vesting period.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for impairment of investment assets and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in marketable securities are carried at fair market value and classified as available for sale. Investments in nonmarketable debt securities are carried at cost or fair value as determined by management.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company valued the securities down to $0 but believed the decrease to be temporary and recorded an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income. In 2013, the Company deemed the decrease to be other than temporary and recognized the loss by reclassifying the other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations.

INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, the method requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

PER SHARE DATA

Net income or loss per share of common stock is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year.

2. DOUBT AS TO CONTINUING AS A GOING CONCERN

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We currently have a working capital and equity deficit of $149,000. Our ability to obtain resources sufficient to continue to meet our obligations as they come due is dependent on raising cash through raising additional equity or borrowings. We intend to use our cash as well as other funds in the event that they shall be available on commercially reasonable terms, to finance our activities, although we can provide no assurance that these additional funds will be available in the amounts or at the times we may require.

The Company is dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

3. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND NONMARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company had investments and advances in certain marketable and non-marketable securities at June 30, 2013 and 2012, as follows:

    2013    2012 
Broadcaster, Inc. at cost  $2,723.00   $2,723.40 
           
Unrealized loss on marketable securities   —      (2,723.00)
           
Realized losses on marketable securities   (2,723.00)   (0.4)

Under GAAP fair value is the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in principal market to market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market.

Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with GAAP, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value which specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with GAAP, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant in the overall fair value measurement.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we continue to employ the valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with GAAP (see Note 1). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value.

Our valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

The following table presents fair value measurements of investments as of June 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

A total of 200,000 shares of Broadcaster common stock secured the Company's 15% $325,000 Promissory Note to Mag-Multi Corporation. Approximately 373,845 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. common stock secured the $345,000 Promissory Notes to investors. On April 30, 2013, the holders of the $325,000 and $345,000 Promissory Notes to investors (collectively “the Promissory Notes”) converted the entire principal balance of the Promissory Notes and accrued interest into 7,152,246 and 14,734,224, respectively, shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 5). All shares of the Broadcaster common stock were returned by the note holders upon receipt of DCDC common stock.

From July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2013 the Company sold 150,500 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. for approximate gross proceeds of $22,400 which were used for general working capital purposes. Since de-registration of the shares of Broadcaster, Inc., the Company cannot solely rely on the sale of these shares to fund its future working capital requirements. The amount of proceeds available to the Company from the sale of shares of Broadcaster, Inc. will depend upon the market for Broadcaster, Inc., which is subject to volatility in price and market volume.

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses primarily consist of accrued legal and other professional fees and general administrative expenses.

6. INCOME TAXES

For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, a reconciliation of income taxes computed at the United States federal statutory income tax rate to the provision for income taxes reflected in the Statements of Operations is presented below:

     2013      2012  
Federal statutory rate    34%   34%
Valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforwards, and investment write-downs    (34)%   (34)%
Effective income tax rate    -0    -0 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets result primarily from net operating loss carry-forwards. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

    2013    2012 
           
Deferred tax assets:           
Operating loss carryforwards   $4,639,000   $4,447,000 
Write-down of investments    1,544,000    1,544,000 
Total Deferred Tax Asset    6,183,000    5,991,000 
Valuation Allowance    (6,183,000)   (5,991,000)
    $-0   $-0 

 

A full valuation allowance is provided against all deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty as to the future realization of any benefits.

Deferred taxes have not been provided on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as management expects that the NOL will be sufficient to offset future gains.

GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. The Company has no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $11,597,100. The current tax laws as they pertain to the disposal of subsidiaries that generate net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") essentially eliminate the NOL carryforwards and do not allow a company to recognize a loss on disposition of the subsidiary for tax purposes. However, laws do provide for the parent to reallocate the NOL based upon their basis in the companies being disposed of.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $11,597,100 available to offset future federal taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in varying amounts through 2030. The Company is in the process of filing its tax returns for the current year.

7. PER SHARE INFORMATION

In accordance with GAAP, "Earnings Per Share", basic net income (loss) per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents on convertible securities, options, and warrants then outstanding. GAAP requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were 750,000 stock options and 500,000 warrants excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 as their effect on the computation of Diluted EPS would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted per share information:

8. STOCK OPTIONS

In November 2000, the Company adopted a Stock Purchase and Option Plan (the "Plan") that permits the issuance of options to selected employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company. The Plan reserves 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance underlying the grants of stock options and warrants. Options generally become exercisable over vesting periods of up to three years and expire five years from the date of grant.
