COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn.

[b] Stock option plans (cont'd.)

During the six months ended February 28, 2022, the total stock-based compensation expense is reported in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) as follows:

    2022     2021

Product development   28,408     7,347  
Total stock-based compensation   94,694     25,983  

Valuation Assumptions

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

    2022     2021  
Expected term of stock options (years)   3.25     3.25  
Expected volatility   122.7%     105.4%  
Risk-free interest rate   0.35%     0.35%  
Dividend yields   -     -  
Weighted average grant date fair value $ 0.40   $ 0.34  

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on US Treasury bill rates in effect at the time of grant.

[c] Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company's 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") became effective on February 22, 2011. Under the Plan, employees of the Company are able to contribute up to 5% of their annual salary into a pool which is matched equally by the Company in order to purchase Company shares under certain terms. Directors are able to contribute a maximum of $12,500 each for a combined maximum annual purchase of $25,000. The maximum annual combined contributions will be $400,000. All purchases are made through the Toronto Stock Exchange by a third-party plan agent. The third-party plan agent is also responsible for the administration of the Plan on behalf of the Company and the participants.

During the six month period ended February 28, 2022, the Company recognized compensation expense of $77,527 (2021: $52,857) in salaries and wages on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) in respect of the Plan, representing the Company's employee matching of cash contributions to the Plan. The shares were purchased on the open market at an average price of $1.29 (2021: $0.81). The shares are held in trust by the Company for a period of one year from the date of purchase.

[d] Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share (basic) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per common share (diluted) is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding common share equivalents. This method requires that the dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants issued be calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, all common share equivalents have been exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and that the funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common shares of the Company at the average trading price of common shares during the period, but only if dilutive. For the three and six-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 the outstanding options, in the amount of 871,000 (August 31, 2021: 410,000), were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share.

7. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

On September 5, 2017, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company, its subsidiaries, independent directors and current Chief Executive Officer, claiming damages for conspiracy, breach of contract, wrongful dismissal, defamation and aggravated and punitive damages. The Company believes the claims are without merit and is defending itself against the claims. The quantum of loss, if any, is not determinable at this time and management believes it is unlikely that the outcome of this matter will have an adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Destiny develops and markets software as a service (SaaS) solutions that solve critical digital distribution and promotion problems for businesses in the music industry. The core of our business is Play MPE®. Play MPE® is a service for promoting and securely distributing broadcast quality audio, video, images, promotional information and other digital content 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. Music is protected by Play MPE®'s patented proprietary watermarking system which provides watermarks unique to each recipient.

Destiny is currently developing additional functionality and services that are expected to increase the services to existing platform users and therefore expand Play MPE®'s addressable market, or act as catalysts to the Company's sales activities. As well, the Company is investing into research and development on incremental product offerings expected to add addressable market opportunities.


Play MPE®

The Company's core business is the Play MPE® platform. Play MPE® is a two-sided B2B marketplace that enables music labels and artists to distribute promotional content and musical assets on the one side, and for music broadcasting professionals, music curators and music reviewers to discover, download, broadcast and review the music, on the other. Play MPE® provides a software-based tool to assist record labels and artists in marketing their music. Record labels and artists are Play MPE®'s customers and pay for submission into the system. Recipients are provided no charge access to review music. When adding music to the Play MPE® system, record labels are targeting specific industry recipients who review and broadcast their music. With this marketing effort, record labels are targeting an increase in their revenue directly through on-air broadcast royalties, streaming royalties and synchronization revenue (revenue when the reproduction of a song is coordinated with video advertisements, television, or film), and indirect increases in revenue through growing song and artists' popularity (for example concert ticket sales etc.).

Customers range from small independent artists, to the world's largest record labels; (the "Major Record Labels") (Universal Music Group ("Universal"), Warner Music Group "Warner" and Sony Music Entertainment "Sony"). Customers choose Play MPE® for its powerful set of tools, ease of use and its effectiveness in achieving the record label's promotional objectives. Recipients enjoy easy access to desirable music in high quality audio files.

Play MPE® CASTER (Distribution software)

Play MPE®'s Caster is a full-service distribution management system that includes a complete set of operational functions that provide all necessary software tools to enable labels to manage global marketing campaigns. Broadly, these components include administration functions and distribution functions. Administration functions allow management of labels and sub-labels, management of the assets (audio files, video files, and associated cover art, artist information) that are distributed, and management of client-side users and user permissions (roles with selectable capabilities). Distribution management functions offer powerful contacts management capabilities, release creation, distribution announcements and distribution scheduling, digital rights management by release and by recipient, and release replication and its associated scheduling and digital rights management components.

This full suite of tools within Play MPE® was developed for the music industry and in close collaboration with Universal to cater the functions to its global marketing workflow. Many clients do not use the full suite of tools. However, this full set of tools is critical to Universal's global promotional campaign workflow and the core reason Play MPE® distributes internationally for Universal.

Caster is available in English, Spanish, German, Japanese and French.

Play MPE® is a permissions-only access system such that only recipients designated or targeted to receive content obtain access to that content. Record labels can use Play MPE®'s contacts management system to administer recipient lists. Contacts management offers several features that facilitate efficient updates and maintenance actions that are critically important where users maintain a large recipient database, across multiple users, and multiple recipient lists. Absent these features, list maintenance becomes overly cumbersome, inefficient and leads to inaccuracies. The functionality within the contacts management system is critically important to both distribution hubs at Universal and the Play MPE® operations team to efficiently maintain accurate and active recipient lists.

Within Play MPE®'s contacts management platform, the Company's operations team offers for sale carefully curated and actively maintained recipient lists with more than 14,000 music curators around the world. These lists include complete lists in 12 countries, and lists under construction in an additional 38. These selectable lists eliminate the need for our clients to maintain current recipient contact information. These lists offer significant value to all customers, but are necessary for smaller independent labels and artists who do not have the resources to maintain current contacts. Without these curators lists, many sales would not be possible. As active lists in new territories are completed, Play MPE® will grow revenue.

In addition to the contacts management functionality, the Play MPE® product and engineering staff are developing new technical processes to facilitate list development and maintenance. With these technical solutions, it is expected that Play MPE® will expand saleable lists and thereby increase revenue.

Play MPE® Player

Music curators enjoy free access to review and download content through an easy-to-use web-based player or mobile player apps (iOS and Android). Web-players are currently available in 15 different languages; English, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, French, Japanese, German, Norwegian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, and Danish.


In developing Play MPE®'s recipient interfaces, the Company's product and engineering teams focus on providing a very positive user experience. Recipients enjoy many features that make it easy to access, collaborate, review, and search for content. Play MPE®'s mobile apps offer off-line listening capabilities, the ability to utilize Google Chromecast and Apple Airplay streaming capabilities, creation of playlists, sorting, flagging and archiving features, and easier to access release metadata. Recipient side satisfaction directly increases activity which directly improves the effectiveness of promotional efforts of record label customers.

Recipients on the Play MPE® platform have a wide variety of personas and include programming directors for internet streaming, satellite or terrestrial radio, retail store broadcasters, sports stadium DJs, clubs, events, music reviews in newspapers or magazines, on-air personalities, music supervisors who program TV, movies, commercials or video games, or "A&R" representatives at larger record labels. Each recipient within the Play MPE® platform has a unique library of music catered and appropriate for that recipient.

Clipstream®

The Company also developed Clipstream® for the online video industry for which it is pursuing strategic alternatives. The Clipstream® Online Video Platform (OVP) is a self-service system, for encoding, hosting and reporting on video playback which can be embedded in third party websites or emails. Playback is currently through the Company's proprietary JavaScript codec engine, which is only available on the internet through the Company. The unique software-based approach to rendering video, has patents claiming initial priority to 2011. This product has incidental revenues and is not supported or marketed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2022 AND 2021

Revenue

Total revenue for the six months ending February 28, 2022 increased by approximately 1% after adjusting for unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. With a decline in the value of the Euro relative to the US dollar, total revenue for the six month period declined by approximately 1.2% ($2,030,571 in 2022 - $2,054,676 in 2021).

Play MPE® represents virtually all the Company's revenue. Play MPE®'s year to date revenue grew by 1.3% after adjusting for unfavorable exchange impacts but declined by 0.9% with no adjustment.

Foreign currency fluctuations impacted the most recent quarter more strongly. Total revenue for the three-month period ended February 28, 2022 showed a nominal increase of 0.5% after adjusting for foreign exchange but decreased by 3.7% over the comparable quarter in fiscal 2021 to $896,420 (2021 - $930,699) with no adjustment for foreign currency changes.

Operating Expenses

Overview

Our technologies and products are developed and maintained in-house, the majority of our expenditures are on salaries and wages and associated expenses such as office space, supplies and benefits. Our operations are primarily conducted in Canada and therefore, our costs are primarily incurred in Canadian dollars while our revenues are primarily denominated in Euros and US 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 the Canadian dollar to these currencies. The Company maintains a large portion of its financial reserves in Canadian dollars to mitigate the downside risk of adverse exchange rates on its operating expenditures.

Operating costs during the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 increased by 9.6% to $1,812,731 (2021: $1,653,566). The increase in costs is primarily the result of increased staffing. This additional staffing was brought on board to support expanded development of the Play MPE® platform, increase sales and additional operational staff to support expanded technical support and distribution list development. This expanded staffing is focused on items designed to accelerate revenue growth of Play MPE® and expand the addressable market. As a result of the rise in value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar, overall costs grew by 2% for the period ending February 28, 2022.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead, office rent, and general office supplies. General and administrative costs also include professional fees and general travel expenditures. The decrease in professional fees is due to the timing of litigation proceedings. The increase in salaries and wages relates to increased share purchase plan participate and option grants associated with an expanded board of directors.

Sales and marketing expenses also include advertising and marketing expenditures, which consist of promotional materials, online or print advertising, business development tools, and marketing or business development related travel costs including attendance at conference or trade shows, and record label and client visits. The increase in advertising and marketing expenses is related to increased sponsorship, advertising, and attendance at industry events in the first two quarters.

   625,734  635,480  (9,746) 1.5% 
 

Product development costs consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs including overhead and consulting fees with respect to product development and deployment. The increase in wages and benefits is related to an increase in staffing in product development. In addition to a nominal increase in operating costs associated with product development salaries and wages, the Company capitalized $102,865 in software development costs in the six month period ended February 28, 2022 (2021: $Nil).

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $53,746 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2021 from $50,715 for the period ended February 29, 2021, an increase of 6% due to amortization of software development costs associated with Play MPE® recipient player applications.

Other earnings and expenses

Interest income was $3,007 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 (2021: $2,338) and is derived from Guaranteed Investment Certificates.

Net income

During the three and six-month period ended February 28, 2022 we had net loss of $202,610 and $37,009 respectfully (2021: $29,466 net loss and $221,236 net income respectfully).

For the three-month period ended February 28, 2022, adjusted EBITDA was $109,211 (2021: $9,192). 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 (loss) from operations to Adjusted EBITDA over the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

As at February 28, 2022, we held $2,433,506 (August 31, 2021: $2,752,662) in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our short-term investments consisted of one-year Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) held through a major Canadian financial institution and had reached maturity prior to February 28, 2022.

At February 28, 2022, we had working capital of $2,508,386 compared to $2,561,480 as at August 31, 2021. During the six-month period ended February 28, 2022, the Company completed NCIB purchases totaling $179,400 (2021: $45,004).

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 was $69,128 (2021: $391,840). The primary reason for the decrease in cash flows from operating activities is related to increased expenditures designed to accelerate revenue growth.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 was $169,680, compared to cash provided in investing activities of $787,067 for the six-month period ended February 28, 2021. During the six-month period ended February 28, 2021, $800,624 was received on the maturity of our GICs.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 was $188,176 (2021: $45,004), related to cash used to repurchase and retire 143,100 shares of common stock (2021: 41,285 shares of common stock) of the Company under the NCIB and to repurchase stock options.

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.

There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021 except for those described in Note 8, "New Accounting Pronouncements" in the notes to our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Please refer to Note 8 "New Accounting Pronouncements" in the notes to our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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 to these currencies. During the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2022, as a result of fluctuations in the Euro, and the Australian, Canadian, and US dollars, the Company recognized a positive impact on reported revenues and a negative impact on reported operating expenditures, for an overall marginal positive impact on reported net income.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

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 February 28, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that would impact our internal controls for the period from September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

On September 5, 2017, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company, its subsidiaries, independent directors and current Chief Executive Officer, claiming damages for conspiracy, breach of contract, wrongful dismissal, defamation and aggravated and punitive damages. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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, 2020 filed with the SEC. 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company's. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company's product and harm the Company's business and results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or results of operations at this time.
