6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a family member of a former Director to provide project management service effective March 1, 2014. During the nine months ended May 31, 2016, the Company paid consulting fees of $Nil (2015 - $69,290) under this agreement. The family member’s service terminated at the end of May, 2015.

7.   INCOME TAX

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income taxes. This standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, Canadian income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended August 31, 1999 through August 31, 2015, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of May 31, 2016. The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company has received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

8.   CONTINGENCIES

On November 8, 2011, the Company was served with a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from Noramco Capital Corporation for $100,000. The claim asserts that the Company has repudiated a subscription agreement entered into in August 2000. Management believes the claim is without merit and that the likelihood that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its result of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Company is remote. The Company has filed a counterclaim against Noramco and the alleged major beneficial shareholder of Noramco, R. A. Bruce McDonald, for damages arising from a proposed private placement in 2000 which did not close.

9.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , (“ASU 2014-09”) which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will also result in enhanced revenue related disclosures. On August 12, 2015, ASU 2015-14 was released to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to be effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . The guidance would require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right –of-use assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Destiny develops and markets services that enable the secure distribution of digital media content over the Internet. Destiny services are based around proprietary security, watermarking and instant play streaming media technologies.

The Play MPE® digital distribution service is used commercially by the recording industry to distribute new pre-release music and music videos to trusted recipients such as radio and press before that content is generally available for sale to the public.

Clipstream® is a suite of products and services under development, which are based around the Company's new cross platform Javascript and HTML 5 canvas tag rendering engine. Video is encoded into a proprietary streaming media technology which has been under development since 2010. Provisional patent priority is claimed to August 2011. The Company had another streaming media product with the same brand that launched in 2000 which is only loosely related to this new generation technology.

The unique patented approach in the rendering engine has a large number of advantages over the more typical reliance on video plug-ins, the HTML 5 video tag and dedicated playback applications for mobile.

Play MPE®

Play MPE® is a digital delivery service for securely moving broadcast quality audio, video, images, promotional information and other digital content securely through the internet. The system is currently used by the recording industry for transferring pre-release broadcast quality music, radio shows, and music videos to trusted recipients such as radio stations, media reviewers, VIP’s, DJ’s, film and TV personnel, sports stadiums and retailers. The system replaces the physical distribution (mail, courier or hand delivery) of CD’s. The financial model is transaction based, where the price per delivery varies with the number of songs and videos delivered.

Record labels around the world, including all three major labels (Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment), are regularly using Play MPE® to deliver their content to radio.

Clipstream®

Clipstream® products are based on a technology that provides streaming video through the Internet directly on to most computers, smart phones, tablets and other devices. Clipstream®’s “encode once, play anywhere” vision addresses the breadth and complexity in today’s multi-format video environment, reducing the cost and complexity of delivering streaming video. This single format solution can be sold into any industry vertical requiring streaming video.

We are developing several products under the Clipstream® brand, including the core engine technology, a cloud encoding and hosting service, an enhanced security plug-in and variants of these solutions for market research and advertising industry applications. We have realized some initial revenue from market research companies conducting video questionnaire services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2016 AND MAY 31, 2015

Revenue

Total revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 was $2,487,120, as compared to $2,501,672 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. Play MPE® revenue currently accounts for 98% of the Company’s revenue. Adverse foreign exchange effects were offset by growth in Play MPE® revenue, resulting in a net 1.4% decline in Play MPE® revenue. Prior to negative impacts caused by the Australian Dollar and Euro falling relative to the US dollar, Play MPE revenue grew by approximately 5% in Australia, 1% in Europe and 5% in the United States. The growth in revenue in the United States is from the growth in Independent Label revenue, which grew by approximately 21%. During the nine months ended May 31, 2016, 50% of our Play MPE revenues were denominated in Euros and 8% were denominated in Australian Dollars (2015: 52% and 8%, respectively). Removing the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations, total Play MPE revenue during the nine months ended May 31, 2016 grew by 2.8%.

While Clipstream® revenue remains a small portion of the Company’s overall revenue, this segment grew by approximately 85%.

Operating Expenses

Overview

As our technologies and products are developed and maintained in-house, the majority of our expenditures are on salaries and wages and associated expenses; office space, supplies and benefits. Our operations are primarily conducted in Canada.

Overall costs dropped by 15.5% to $2,683,380 (2015 – $3,175,287) during the nine months ended May 31, 2016. The majority of this decline is result of favorable exchange rates, reduced staffing costs with a reduction in executive salaries and wages, recruiting and retrenchment costs, and a reduction in spending on public company expenditures. These savings are partially offset by a 124% increase in marketing costs and 113% increase in technology operating costs associated with subcontracting our infrastructure.

The Company maintains most of its financial reserves in Canadian dollars to mitigate the downside risk of adverse exchange rates.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, professional fees, and other general office expenditures.

The decrease in wages and benefits is attributable to a reduction in director and officer compensation and a reduction caused by the devaluation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. The decrease in office and miscellaneous expenses is due to the termination of shareholder relations consulting agreements and related expenditures. The decrease in rent is due a reduction of one-time costs associated with the change in office lease in the comparative period.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, sales commissions, advertising and promotional fees, and travel costs. The decrease in wages and benefits is mostly attributable to exchange rate fluctuations, a reduction in termination costs, as well as a small decrease in personnel. The increase in telecommunications expense is attributable to increased costs related to Amazon Web Services incurred to build a strong IT infrastructure platform. The increase in advertising and marketing expenses is related to an increased focus on online advertising of Clipstream® and Play MPE® to gain increased online exposure internationally.

Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead and consulting fees with respect to product development and deployment. The decrease in wages and benefits is attributable to exchange rate fluctuations, a reduction in termination costs, as well as a small decrease in personnel. The increase in telecommunications expense is attributable to increased costs related to Amazon Web Services incurred to build a stronger IT infrastructure platform. The decrease in rent is due to decrease rent expenses in the current period as a result of on time costs associated with the change in office lease in the comparative period.

Amortization

Amortization expense arises from property and equipment, and from patents and trademarks. Amortization increased to $163,771 for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 from $128,378 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, an increase of $35,393 or 28% as a result of capitalized leasehold improvements for our new office and software testing services purchased to improve product quality.

Other earnings and expenses

Interest income decreased to $17,057 for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 from $34,131 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, a decrease of $17,074. The interest income is derived from the amount receivable pursuant to our previous litigation settlement. The decrease in interest income is the result of a lower settlement receivable balance from the settlement receivable being paid down over its term.

Net income (loss)

During the nine months ended May 31, 2016 we have net loss of $179,203 (2015 – $639,195) a reduction of approximately 72% compared to the prior year. The reduction in net loss is the result of a reduction in overall spending on rent, salaries and wages, and public company expenditures and favorable exchange rate fluctuations on expenses denominated in Canadian dollars, partially offset by increases in marketing and technology expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We used Adjusted EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA helps us to compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments and the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to Adjusted EBITDA provide further clarity on our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and expected life of the equity instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash payments by us. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the effect of asset impairments. The following is a reconciliation of net income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA over the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We had cash of $756,402 as at May 31, 2016 (August 31, 2015 – $387,316). We had working capital of $986,809 as at May 31, 2016 compared to working capital of $513,472 as at August 31, 2015. The increase in our working capital was mainly due to an increase in our cash balance as a result of a private placement during the first quarter, which generated gross cash proceeds of $505,000.

CASHFLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,274 for the nine months ended May 31, 2016, compared to net cash used of $150,577 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. The main reason for the decrease in net cash flows used in the operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in the net loss reported for the period, as a result of reduced operating expenses, partially due to favorable exchange rate fluctuations between the Canadian and US dollar, as most of our operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, as well as other factors described above.

Net cash used in investing activities was $157,083 for the nine months ended May 31, 2016, compared to net cash used of $282,461 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. Investing activities in the current period are largely attributable to software testing services and other software purchases aimed at improving product quality, as well as ongoing expenditures for patent applications.

The cash provided by financing activities was $496,360 for the nine months ended May 31, 2016, compared to $Nil for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. The change was the result of a private placement in the current period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will also result in enhanced revenue related disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . The guidance would require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right –of-use assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-605, Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is considered probable.

The majority of our revenue is generated from digital media distribution service. The service is billed on usage which is based on the volume and size of distributions provided on a monthly basis. All revenues are recognized on a monthly basis as the services are delivered to customers, except where extended payment terms exist. Such revenues are only recognized when the extended payment term expires.

At present, the Company does not have yet have a standard business practice for contracts that contain extended payment terms, and therefore recognizes revenue from such contracts when the payment terms lapse and all other revenue criteria have been met.

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize the costs of employee services received in share-based payment transactions according to the fair value provisions of the current share-based payment guidance. The fair value of employee services received in stock-based payment transactions is estimated at the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected life.

We selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value of our share-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Our current estimate of volatility is based on historical and market-based implied volatilities of our stock price. To the extent volatility of our stock price increases in the future, our estimates of the fair value of options granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing stock-based compensation cost recognized in future periods. We derive the expected term assumption primarily based on our historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to options that have not yet completed a full life cycle. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized only for awards ultimately expected to vest. Our estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily on our historical experience. To the extent we revise this estimate in the future, our share-based compensation cost could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in the following quarters. In the future, as empirical evidence regarding these input estimates is available to provide more directionally predictive results, we may change or refine our approach of deriving these input estimates.

Research and Development Expense for Software Products

Research and development expense includes costs incurred to develop intellectual property. The costs for the development of new software and substantial enhancements to existing software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. We have determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of software is completed. Because we believe our current process for developing software will be essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, no costs have been capitalized to date.

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of any amounts identified for capitalization as software development costs in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period material differences in the amount and timing of capitalized development costs could occur.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We extend credit to our customers based on evaluation of an individual customer's financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Accounts outstanding beyond the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are beyond the contractual payment terms, our previous loss history, and a customer's current ability to pay its obligation to us. We write-off accounts receivable when they are identified as uncollectible. All outstanding accounts receivable accounts are periodically reviewed for collectability on an individual basis.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values using the enacted income tax rates by tax jurisdiction at each balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions. The valuation of deferred income tax assets is reviewed annually and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We evaluate all available evidence, such as recent and expected future operating results by tax jurisdiction, and current and enacted tax legislation and other temporary differences between book and tax accounting to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. There is a risk that management estimates for operating results could vary significantly from actual results, which could materially affect the valuation of the future income tax asset. Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards and other deferred income tax assets, management has determined certain of these deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not criteria, and accordingly, these deferred income tax asset amounts have been completely offset by a valuation allowance as disclosed in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2015.

Contingencies

As discussed under “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in Part II and in Note 8 “Contingencies” in Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is subject from time to time to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with US GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment required in both the probability determination and as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceedings and claims that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. However, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should several of these legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets including tangible assets in accordance with authoritative guidance. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we recognize such impairment in the event the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. We have not recorded any impairment losses to date.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our revenues are primarily in United States dollars and Euros while our operating expenses are primarily in Canadian dollars. Thus, operating expenses and the results of operations are impacted to the extent they are not hedged by the rise and fall of the relative values of Canadian dollar and the Euro to the United States dollar. During the nine months ended May 31, 2016, as a result of strength of the US dollars, the Company recognized negative impacts on revenue and positive impacts on operating expenses, for a net positive impact on reported net income as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2015.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with this quarterly report, as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of May 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There are no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended May 31, 2016.

On November 8, 2011, the Company was served with a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from Noramco Capital Corporation for $100,000. The claim asserts that the Company has repudiated a subscription agreement entered into in August 2000. Management believes the claim is without merit and that the likelihood that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its result of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Company is remote. The Company has filed a counterclaim against Noramco and the alleged major beneficial shareholder of Noramco, R. A. Bruce McDonald, for damages arising from a proposed private placement in 2000 which did not close.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1 – Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on November 25, 2015. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K have not changed materially, however, they are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
