Revenue

The total revenue this quarter of $561,827 (April 30, 2010 - $3,424) continued to be driven primarily by the Company's new product GSP RUSHFIT, an 8-week home-based DVD workout program starring Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA") welterweight world champion Georges St-Pierre. In addition to the product sales directly through the GSP RUSHFIT website (www.gsprushfit.com), during this quarter wholesale sales commenced through the Company's partnership with Northern Response (International) Ltd. ("Northern"). Product sold to Northern will be distributed initially in Canada through some of the largest retailers such as Future Shop and Walmart Canada, with future plans for international expansion.

Mr. Jeffrey Sharpe, CEO and President of DSS stated, "We are very pleased with the financial results from our first full quarter as a public company. The response to GSP RUSHFIT has been extremely positive and we look forward to expanding the RUSHFIT brand and our distribution channels in the coming months." GSP RUSHFIT was launched on December 10, 2010, and has quickly established itself as a premium brand in the lucrative home fitness market.

Expenses

During the three month period ending March 31, 2011, operating expenses increased to $580,418 (April 30, 2010 - $169,996). Contributing factors to this increase of $410,422 were those directly related to the increased revenue generated in this quarter by the sales of the GSP RUSHFIT program.

Net Loss

Although expenses more than doubled on a quarter to quarter comparison, the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $115,557, a decrease of $133,197 from the net loss of $248,754 for three months ended April 30, 2010.
