NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital Creative Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Company").
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and for the six months and three months ended of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 and other information as of June 30, 2008 has been derived from the Company's audited annual financial statements. These condensed financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in the Company's annual financial statements. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2008 contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of results for the periods have been made. Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2- DOUBT AS TO CONTINUING AS A GOING CONCERN
Our condensed consolidated unaudited 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 $1,242,100. Our ability to obtain resources sufficient to continue to meet our obligations as they come due is dependent on raising cash through the sale of Broadcaster, Inc. shares and/or raising additional equity. 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. Management believes that it can obtain the additional funds necessary to continue its operations.
NOTE 3- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital Creative Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, (collectively the "Company"). The Company currently has no active business. However, the Company was involved in acquiring and investing in software and high technology companies, with a focus on acquiring controlling interests and has entered into the software technology industry through the investment in International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI”), (n/k/a Broadcaster, Inc). Since 1982, IMSI (n/k/a Broadcaster, Inc.) 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 IMSI closed its acquisition of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. The combined company operates under the name Broadcaster, Inc., and operates an Internet entertainment network.

Until August 2007 the shares of Broadcaster, Inc. owned were "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Under Rule 144, the Company could publicly sell, within any three month period, a number of shares not to exceed one percent of Broadcaster, Inc.'s then outstanding shares of common stock. In the event that Broadcaster, Inc. became listed on the NASDAQ or on a national securities exchange, the maximum amount that could be sold was the greater of one percent of the outstanding shares and the average weekly trading volume of Broadcaster, Inc.'s common stock for the four weeks preceding the Company's filing of a notice of sale with the SEC. Since these shares were restricted, the shares, which could be sold within one year, were classified as a current asset and the balance of the shares were classified in other assets, as non-current, on the balance sheet.
In August 2007, that restriction was removed upon the departure of Bruce Galloway in May 2007, a former director and significant shareholder of the Company from the Board of Directors of Broadcaster. Accordingly, the restriction as to the balance sheet classification of these shares was also removed.

Several of the officers, directors and significant shareholders of Broadcaster were defendants in an action captioned Paul Goodman v. Spelling, et al in New York State Supreme Court. On January 16, 2008, Mr. Goodman commenced an action in New York State Supreme Court against Broadcaster and certain of its officers, directors, and shareholders, seeking monetary damages “in an amount to be determined but not less than $10 million plus other special, punitive and compensatory damages” for alleged defamation contained in a Company filing with the SEC. Mr. Goodman sought and obtained an ex parte temporary restraining order, which was vacated by the Court upon hearing argument from the defendants. This action had been removed and transferred to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York and then transferred to United States District Court for the Central District of California. Management of Broadcaster believes that the action was without merit and intended to defend it vigorously.
A total of 200,000 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. common stock secures the Company's 15% $325,000 Promissory Note to Multi Mag Corporation and approximately 373,845 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. common stock secures the $345,000 Notes to investors. The shares reflect the 1 for 2 reverse stock split of Broadcaster's shares effected at June 25, 2007. Due to the recent decline in the price of shares of Broadcaster, the Notes are now under-collateralized.
The Company has sold 116,000 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The proceeds of approximately $20,600 have been used for general working capital purposes.
From time to time, the Company may continue to sell a certain amount of its holdings in Broadcaster, Inc. The proceeds of these sales are anticipated to be principally used by the Company for general working capital purposes.
NOTE 5- ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Accrued expenses primarily consist of accrued legal and other professional fees and general administrative expenses of the Company.

(Unaudited)
Of the $345,000 Secured Promissory Notes, all but three of these noteholders whose notes total $195,000 have extended their notes to December 31, 2008. The Company's management is confident that future extensions can be obtained if necessary, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such extensions. The remaining three noteholders have not agreed to extend and those notes are now currently in default.
On May 30, 2007, the Company and Multi-Mag executed Amendment #5 to the $325,000 Secured Promissory Note. This amendment extended the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2007 upon the payment of accrued interest from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007 in the amount of $48,750 payable no later than July 15, 2007. This amount was paid on August 8, 2007 and any defaults were waived by Multi-Mag. The Company and Multi-Mag are currently in negotiations to extend the due date of the note. The Company’s management is confident that future extensions can be obtained. Although extensions were obtained in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain these extensions, if needed.
NOTE 7- CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 8- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In October, 2005, the Company made a contingent award to two of its current directors, Gary Herman and Skuli Thorvaldsson, as well as an award to a former director and significant shareholder, Bruce Galloway. The award consisted of options granted to purchase 7,440,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.0732 per share to $0.1385 and expiring through June 2015. These options, awarded for services rendered in connection with past services, including the restructuring of the Company in fiscal year 2002; director services; and other services, were valued at approximately $798,500.
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved this compensation for services rendered to the Company by Messrs. Herman and Thorvaldsson contingent upon the receipt of a fairness opinion from an independent advisory firm and approval of such fairness opinion by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not reviewed or approved the opinion of the independent advisory firm. If such compensation is granted in full, the value of the related awards will approximate $798,500 and be charged to earnings at that time. Further, the Company finalized compensation agreements for Messrs. Herman and Thorvaldsson which include amounts to be paid for past services to the Company for the calendar years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than the historical financial information, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the substantial capital requirements, development of effective internal processes and systems, the ability to attract and retain high quality employees, changing overall economy and other risks described herein and in the Company's June 30, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Digital Creative Development Corporation (the “Company”) was principally involved in acquiring and investing in software and high technology companies, with a focus on acquiring controlling interests. At present, the Company does not have an operating business except for its interest in Broadcaster, Inc., (OTCBB- BCAS). The Company has since begun to search for candidates with which to enter into business combinations or strategic transactions.
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 the Company, 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 we will make any acquisitions or business combinations or that we will be able to obtain additional financing for such acquisitions or combinations, if necessary. If any acquisitions or combinations are made, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to successfully integrate the acquired or combined business into our 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 our 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 of 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2008 Compared To The Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2007.
Net loss increased to $216,300 in the six month period ended December 31, 2008 from $145,000 in the comparable 2007 period, principally due to losses on sales of securities in the current period totaling $84,600 as compared to gains on sales of securities of $147,500 in the 2007 period. General and administrative expenses decreased to $83,700 in the current period from $244,500 due to lower professional fees, including legal, administrative and accounting services.
Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2008 Compared To The Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2007.
Net loss decreased to $88,900 in the three month period ended December 31, 2008 from $104,000 in the comparable 2007 period, principally due to losses on sales of securities in the prior period totaling $7,300 as compared to no losses on sales of securities in the current period. General and administrative expenses decreased to $64,900 in the current period from $72,700 in the prior period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $1,242,100 at December 31, 2008, compared to current liabilities exceeding its current assets by $294,900 at June 30, 2008. These financial conditions are principally due the reduced market value of the Company’s investment in Broadcaster. The Company's total investments at December 31, 2008 were $335,500 compared to $1.2 million at June 30, 2008.
Since the Company is inactive, except for its interest in Broadcaster, and it is not contemplated that Broadcaster will declare and pay dividends on its common stock, the Company depends upon sales of its shares of Broadcaster, Inc common stock, which are quoted on the OTCBB in order to meet its expenses, unless the Company could obtain funding from third parties, of which there can be no assurance. The Company has sold 116,000 shares of Broadcaster, Inc. from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The proceeds of approximately $20,600 have been used for general working capital purposes.
The amount of proceeds available to the Company from the sale of shares of Broadcaster, Inc depends upon the market for Broadcaster, Inc. shares, which is subject to volatility in price and market volume.
The proceeds of any such sales are anticipated to be principally used by the Company for general working capital purposes. The Company anticipates that its working capital needs will be financed by sales of Broadcaster shares until and unless the Company acquires a profitable operating business or makes other investments.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Considering the working capital and equity deficit of $1,242,100, the Company’s ability to obtain resources sufficient to continue to meet obligations as they come due is dependent on raising cash through the sale of Broadcaster, Inc. shares and/or raising additional equity. However the Company can provide no assurance that these additional funds will be available in the amounts or at the times required. Management currently believes that it can obtain the additional funds necessary to continue its operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s equity investments are concentrated in Broadcaster, Inc. At December 31, 2008, almost 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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
