NOTES TO CONSOLIDATD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three and Six-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Dynamic Digital Depth Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dynamic Digital Depth Australia Pty Ltd, Dynamic Digital Depth Research Pty Ltd, Dynamic Digital Depth USA Inc. and Dynamic Digital Depth TV Inc., specializes in the business of 3D technology. Its patented technologies enable the creation and development of 2D compatible 3D content; mass distribution through the Internet, personal computer, television and movies; and the integration of 3D content with glasses-free displays.
These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of all of the wholly owned subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has experienced significant operating losses and cash outflows from operations and has a $27,876,584 accumulated deficit at June 30, 2001.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional capital to support continuing development and commercialization activities. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time.
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustment to the classifications and amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations that have been made using careful judgment. The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.
Revenue Recognition
Technology revenue from the granting of licenses and hardware sales is recognized when; there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.
Building Units Held for Sale
The building is carried in the accounts at the lower of cost or fair market value. No amortization is taken due to the intention to sell the building.
Capital assets
Capital assets are carried in the accounts at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Furniture and fixtures | 4 to 7 years |
| Office equipment | 3 to 7 years |
| Equipment under capital lease | 3 to 7 years |
| Technical equipment | 3 to 7 years |
| Automotive equipment | 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life |
| Website | 3 years |
Leased assets that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership related to the leased asset from the lessor to the lessee are accounted for as capital leases. Under a capital lease, the asset is capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. The lease agreements have implicit interest rates varying between 5.75 % and 11.68%.
Patents, research and development costs
Costs relating to acquiring and establishing patents in 3D television and related areas, such as the conversion to 3D of existing 2D film and video material, auto-stereoscopic 3D computer displays, 3D video arcade game displays, 3D viewing glasses, 3D special effects software and 3D camera adaptors are recorded at cost and since July 1, 2000 are being amortized over five years. The Company has also adopted a policy of periodically reviewing its patent portfolio with a view to writing off the costs incurred in applying for and registering such patents where there is no reasonable prospect that the technology represented by the patents will be capable of producing revenues within the next succeeding twelve months. Any further expenditures on patents or applications where costs to date have already been written off will be expensed as they are incurred.
Research costs are expensed as incurred.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash, accounts receivable, security deposits and prepayments, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and short-term debt. As at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there are no significant differences between the carrying amounts of these instruments, and their estimated fair values.
Foreign exchange
The Company's Australian and USA subsidiaries are deemed self-sustaining foreign operations for foreign currency translation purposes. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the year-end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of the subsidiaries are recorded in a "Cumulative Translation Adjustment" account within shareholders' equity. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the Statement of Operations as general and administrative expenses. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, these amounted to ($489), ($23,260), ($4,591) and ($9,182), respectively.
Taxation
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company records income taxes to give effect to temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Temporary differences arise when the realization of an asset or the settlement of a liability would give rise to either an increase or decrease in the Company's income taxes payable for the year or later periods. Future income taxes are recorded at the income tax rates that are expected to apply when the future tax liability is settled or the future tax asset is realized. When necessary, valuation allowances are established to reduce future income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in future income tax assets and liabilities.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and security deposits and prepayments. The Company's cash is placed with high quality major Australian, Canadian and American banking institutions, limiting its exposure to credit risk. At the balance sheet dates presented herein, the accounts receivable and security deposits and prepayments balances consist of a number of various miscellaneous items.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effect on loss per share of the exercise of options and warrants is anti-dilutive.
Stock options
The Company has a stock option plan which is described in Note 8. No compensation expense is recognized for this plan when stock options are issued to employees. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.

Litigation
a) | In January 1999, Angus Duncan Richards (“Richards”) served a notice of dispute on the Company relating to the terms of a Consulting Agreement between the Company and Richards. The dispute is subject to arbitration that is ongoing. The Company refutes all of the allegations and is vigorously defending this matter. In the event that Richards was to succeed in his claim, the Company would be exposed to a liability to pay Richards $CAD187,510 together with further payments not exceeding $CAD158,840 per annum contingent upon the extent to which the Company derives revenue and capital from commercial exploitation of certain technologies which Richards assisted to develop. |
b) | In December 1998, Angus Duncan Richards (“Richards”) commenced litigation in Alberta, Canada seeking monetary damages for $CAD227,500 plus interest and court costs. Richards alleges the Company failed to permit him to exercise options to purchase 182,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share based upon the determination that the options had expired (amounts based on post reverse stock split). The Company filed a Statement of Defense in February 1999. The Company refutes all of the allegations and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Richards sought leave of the Court to amend his statement of claim on January 10, 2001. The Court, apart from adding Mr. P Kristensen, a director of the Company, to the action, rejected the application. The Company intends to file an additional statement of defense seeking additional security for costs. The Company believes that Richard’s claim is without merit. |

SCHEDULE C: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Description of Business
The Company’s principal business is the development and sale of software and hardware products and services to enable the viewing of 3D without the need for special eyewear or headgear. 3D TV without glasses has become possible through advances in technology over the last few years. These developments have made 3D viewing a more viable and marketable proposition and the Company’s longer-term strategic goal is to bring 3D TV to the mass market.
Since inception, we have incurred operating losses of approximately $27.9 million related to the development of our technologies. We anticipate the launch of significant second and third generation developments of previously successful commercialized products through the remainder of 2001 which will generate revenue and continue our expansion as a technology-based marketing, licensing and distribution company. The rate at which this expansion will occur is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These include the willingness of production companies to make their content available in 3D, the willingness of broadcasters and cable system operators to invest in our technologies, and the willingness of consumers to buy and use the ancillary equipment needed to view 3D images using our technologies, such as LCD shutter or red/blue anaglyph glasses.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dynamic Digital Depth Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our research and development operations are located in Perth, Australia. We are incorporated under the laws of Canada and prepare our financial statements in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Reference should be made to the accompanying financial statements, including the notes, when reading the following discussion and analysis of the Company’s operations.
Discussion of Operations and Financial Condition
Our results of operations reflect a continuing focus on our research and development program together with an expansion of marketing activities as our technologies continue to be developed and further commercialized.
Revenues
We are still attempting to consistently achieve substantial revenues from the commercialization of our technologies. This reflects our policy to focus on the development of the technologies in order to bring them to the level of sophistication and marketability required for their successful commercialization and the rapid pace of change in market expectations.
Technology revenue represent amounts received from services performed related to conversion of 2D content into 3D and sales of hardware pursuant to agreements entered into with third parties who were, or are considered to be, potentially long-term customers.
Conversion services represent amounts received from several customers for work undertaken in converting 2D material into 3D using technologies and techniques that were developed by the Company. Conversion services have primarily been purchased by customers in the location based entertainment industry, such as theme parks.
Hardware sales represent sales of equipment using technologies that were developed by the Company. To date, our hardware sales have been made to one customer, Karl Storz Imaging. The hardware provided to that company modifies the video image produced by medical imaging products and converts it to 3D.
Interest is earned from cash balances invested in cash management accounts. Interest income decreased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000 due to the fact that the average cash balance was lower and the rate at which such accounts yield interest has declined.
Other income principally consists of rental income earned from the rental of units in our building units that are held for sale.
Operating Expenses
Depreciation and amortization of capital assets increased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 due to higher levels of capital expenditures for technical equipment and the development of a company website compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000.
Salaries and wages have increased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000 due to additional employees hired to support the marketing and commercialization of the Company’s products and the practice of employing personnel on a full-time basis to perform duties that were previously outsourced.
General and administrative expenses decreased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to lower legal and professional fees. In addition, there was a reduction in consultants and sub-contractors costs as a result of the Company’s continuing practice of employing personnel on a full-time basis to perform duties previously outsourced.
Marketing and promotional expenses are incurred primarily on the services of marketing consultants, attendance at trade shows and on activities associated with obtaining greater exposure of the Company’s technologies. These expenses increased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000 due to the occurrence of several trade shows and other related activities.
Interest expense on short-term debt and capital leases has decreased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2000 due to reductions in the level of short-term debt and capital leases coupled with the fact that interest rates have declined.
Salaries and wages have increased this quarter compared to last year’s quarter due to additional employees hired to support the marketing and commercialization of the company’s products and the practice of employing personnel on a full time basis to perform duties previously outsourced.
Other matters
Details of transactions with related parties are provided in Note 12 of the financial statements contained herein.
Details of legal proceedings and any contingent liabilities are provided in Note 7 of the financial statements contained herein.
There have been no special resolutions passed by the shareholders during the six-months ended June 30, 2001.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2001, there have been no events or transactions of a material or significant nature.
Financings
There were no material differences in the actual use of proceeds from the previous disclosure by the Company regarding its intended use of proceeds.
Liquidity and Solvency
For six and three-months ended June 30, 2001 we incurred a net loss of approximately $3.62 million and $2.0 million, respectively, with an operating cash flow deficit averaging approximately $501,000 and $457,000 per month. The net losses principally reflect a continuing focus on our research and development program together with an expansion of marketing activities as our technologies continue to be developed and further commercialized. As of June 30, 2001, we had net working capital of approximately $510,000, including a cash balance of approximately $3.5 million. Through June 30, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.9 million.
During the six-months ended June 30, 2001 we have continued to make significant progress towards full commercial operation. Product introductions and expanded marketing will require significant additional expenditures through the balance of 2001. As a result, it can be expected that short-term operating losses could accelerate from those previously experienced. In addition, we expect to require approximately $253,000 in capital expenditures during the remainder of 2001.
Historically, we have met our working capital requirements through financing transactions involving the private placement of equity securities or equity equivalents.
During the six-months ended June 30, 2001, the Company raised approximately $4.9 million through a private placement and $35,000 through the exercise of stock options.
We intend on selling the building units held for sale during 2001. In the event that sales have not been finalized by the end of the year, our short-term loan facility will be renegotiated to cover the outstanding loan balance.
We do not believe that our available cash resources and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs through June 30, 2002. We expect that we will require additional financing thereafter which may take the form of private placements of debt or equity securities with financing sources or from development partners. We are in discussions with a number of potential financing sources, including investment banking firms and strategic partners, regarding transactions that would provide us with sufficient resources to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. However, these discussions have not resulted in any definitive agreements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on attractive terms to us, if at all. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining financing, we may be required to seek to license our technologies to third parties who are financially better able to exploit the technologies or we may be required to curtail operations.
