NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
Presentation of Interim Information:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Teknik Digital Arts Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our Form 10KSB filed for the year ended September 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures, which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2006 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The September 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Nature of Corporation
Teknik Digital Arts, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 29, 2003. The principal business purpose of the Company is to publish interactive video games and instructional software for play on mobile telephones, personal computers and video game consoles.
Liquidity
The Company has generated an accumulated net loss of $6,080,851 (unaudited) from the date of inception January 29, 2003 through March 31, 2006. Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from borrowings from a related party note and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of equity securities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will derive its revenues from the sale of interactive entertainment software through the Company website and distributors. As of March 31, 2006 the Company has begun to generate revenues associated with some of the mobile phone applications.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the product. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technology. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the products are available for general release to customers and is computed on a product-by-product basis using straight-line amortization with useful lives of five years or, if less, the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Amounts related to software development costs during the current year were expensed as the time between when technological feasibility and product marketability were indeterminate and therefore no costs were capitalized. Amounts related to internal software development that could be capitalized under this statement were immaterial.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates (Continued)
Consolidated Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Playentertainment-Teknik, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns 50% of the membership interest of the LLC, however, the financial statements of the subsidiary has been consolidated as the management and operations of Playentertainment-Teknik, LLC is substantially controlled by Teknik Digital Arts, Inc.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than the prevailing market price. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share. As of March 31, 2006, options to purchase 200,000 shares and warrants to purchase 3,550,000 shares of common stock were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, compensation expense, if any, was measured as the excess of the underlying stock price over the exercise price on the date of grant. The Company complied with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123 (“SFAS 123”) “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” which required pro-forma disclosure of compensation expense associated with stock options under the fair value method.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123(R), “Share—Based Payment,” using the modified prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated and (b) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. The fair value of option grants is estimated as of the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company’s net loss for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 is unchanged from the net loss that would be reported if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25 as all options granted by the Company were fully vested as of December 31, 2005.

As discussed in Note 1 the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from its operations to date. Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview
Teknik Digital Arts, Inc. publishes interactive video game and instructional software for play on mobile telephones, personal computers and video game consoles. We have developed a prototype game and order processing system for personal computers and have launched mobile phone video games we have developed based on highly visible, exclusively-licensed consumer content. We plan to continue to license highly visible consumer content, such as popular motion pictures, television shows, characters, and sports figures, and develop mobile phone, personal computer and console entertainment applications based on these licensed properties.
In December 2005, we released a mobile phone game based on the television showFear Factor.We also launched a mobile phone game around professional golfer Phil Mickelson that was released in December 2005. We have developed a proprietary mobile media player that is used for the instructional series developed by Mickelson’s short game teacher, Dave Pelz, and his swing coach, Rick Smith, as well as Phil Simms and Chris Simms Football, Cal Ripken Baseball, Phil Weber and Joe Johnson Basketball.
We work with video game software developers to develop products across the mobile phone, personal computer and console game system platforms. We intend to leverage our licensed brand names to form strategic partnerships that we believe will enable us to create truly distinctive digital content.
Customers will order and download mobile phone games through their mobile phone carriers, who will charge customers through their monthly phone bills and retain a percentage of these fees before remitting the balance to us. Customers may also order and download mobile phone games through our website. Electronic distribution of both our personal computer and mobile phone applications relieves us of the typical distribution challenges, such as packaging, shipping and the management of physical inventories.
As of March 31, 2006, we had two full time employees, including one in sales and marketing and one in finance, general and administrative. We intend to hire additional employees as needed. We also retain independent contractors to provide various services, primarily in connection with our software development and sales activities. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Summary Plan of Operations
Presently, we require approximately $40,000 to $50,000 per month to fund our recurring operations. This amount may increase as we expand our development efforts to include additional product offerings. Substantially all of our cash needs are attributable to research and development expenses as well as professional fees associated with being a public company. As of the date of this report, we have funded our working capital requirements from past borrowings under our revolving line of credit, which has been converted to a note as of March 1, 2006, and, to a lesser extent, from the sale of equity securities. We currently anticipate that if our capital requirements increase and we are, therefore, required to raise additional capital, we will raise such additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities and from the exercise of outstanding warrants. The amount of funds raised, if any, will determine what additional projects we will be able to undertake. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise additional capital, when needed or at all, or that such capital, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. In addition, no assurance can be given that our outstanding warrants will be exercised, if ever, at a time when we may need such funds for our operations.
Over the next 12 months, we plan to continue to devote research and development resources to our planned mobile phone product offerings as well as the development of our physically interactive gaming software.
Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 the Company generated a small amount of revenue related to our mobile phone game applications. Our business model contemplates that we will derive revenue from two sources: one-time fees charged in connection with the initial sale of our products and monthly subscriptions. We plan to generate revenue from the sale of applications for mobile phones, personal computers and console game systems.
Expenses
We intend to continue to develop our products both internally and through third parties. We expect that our research and development expenses will increase as we expand our product offerings. As the Company grows, we may need to hire additional employees in connection with the animation and software development efforts of new products.
We will incur operational costs associated with customer support and maintaining our web presence. In the future, we believe much of the customer support for our online products may be handled online via chat messaging or e-mail. Some expense may be incurred in the future to offer customer service via phone but this will not be a requirement for our core market. Initial customer service for our mobile products will be provided by the carriers. We intend to maintain our website and application servers in a professional hosting environment. The expenses incurred to maintain a professional web presence consist of hosting space, including security, redundant power supply, and fire suppression, as well as access to redundant broadband networks, personnel to conduct preventive and emergency site maintenance, and backup/disaster recovery systems.
Sales and marketing expenses will consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for our direct sales force and marketing personnel, commissions to independent sales staff, marketing programs and advertising campaigns. Management intends to use its experience and connections within the software industry to promote and market our products. We expect our sales and marketing expenses will increase materially when operations increase and we expand our product offerings and launch an international presence.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for finance and other administrative personnel, facilities and occupancy charges, professional fees as well as amounts related to a legal settlement. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our staff, build our infrastructure, grow our business and incur costs associated with being a public company.
We have incurred significant expenses from inception through March 31, 2006 primarily attributable to charges incurred during our development stage. Since our inception, we have incurred a net loss of $6,080,851.
12
Approximately $3,768,000 of expenses have been attributable to non-cash charges taken since inception related to stock issuances for compensation, consulting and stock and warrants issued in relation to software development costs.
Comparisons of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
Our general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 31% from $331,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $226,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll related expenses as well as the Company incurring non-cash compensation related expense in conjunction with stock options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Research and development costs decreased approximately 99% from $68,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $499 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to the Mickelson game being completed in December 2005, combined with more resources and up-front costs being required in the early development phases of product development in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
The Company settled a lawsuit filed by Codefire, Inc. for alleged misappropriation of trade secrets and other violations during the three months ended March 31, 2006. An expense of approximately $170,000 has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements related to this settlement of this claim.
Comparisons of the six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
Our general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 16% from $538,321 for the six months ended March 31, 2005 to $453,146 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll related expenses as well as the Company incurring non-cash compensation related expense in conjunction with stock options issued during the six months ended March 31, 2005. Research and development costs decreased approximately 73% from $144,596 for the six months ended March 31, 2005 to $38,359 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to the Mickelson game being completed in December 2005, combined with more resources and up-front costs being required in the early development phases of product development in the six months ended March 31, 2005.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from past borrowings under a revolving line of credit and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of equity securities. Our line of credit had a term of one year (renewable annually on March 1), and was being provided by a related party, CodeFire Acquisition Corp., or CAC, which holds 7.67% of our issued and outstanding common stock. The line of credit had a limit of $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2005 with the principal and interest due March 1, 2006. On March 1, 2006, the outstanding balance of $832,500 on the line of credit was converted to a note, which bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, with principal and interest due March 1, 2007. As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the Company’s balance on the related party note payable and line of credit was $838,850 and $610,350 respectively.
As of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005, we had cash and equivalents amounting to $349 and $7,060, respectively, and prepaid expenses of $4,798 and $28,678, respectively. Our liquidity needs are primarily to fund working capital requirements, including general and administration and developmental expenses. The largest use of our funds has been salaries and related expenses as well as costs associated with being a public company.
As of March 31, 2006, we had total current liabilities of $1,447,684 and had total current assets of $7,269, with our current liabilities exceeding our current assets by $1,440,415. As of September 30, 2005, we had total current liabilities of $954,190 and had total current assets of $35,738, with our current liabilities exceeding our current assets by $918,452.
Management believes that the Company will be able to continue to borrow additional funds from CAC, these borrowings, combined with future sales of equity or debt securities, will provide the Company with its immediate financial requirements to enable it to continue as a going concern. The raising of additional capital in public or private markets will primarily be dependent upon prevailing market conditions and the demand for the Company’s products and services. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise additional
13
capital, when needed or at all, or that such capital, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event we are unable to raise additional funds, we could be required to either substantially reduce or terminate our operations.
Although we are currently able to pay our debts as they become due, if our expenses exceed our borrowing capability, and we cannot raise money through the sale of equity or debt securities, we may not have sufficient cash to satisfy our liquidity needs for the upcoming twelve months. As a result of the operating losses and negative cash flows incurred since our inception in January 2003, our independent auditor has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005, expressing substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. This means that the auditor questions whether we can continue in business. Investors in our securities should carefully review the report prepared by our auditor included in Form 10-KSB at September 30, 2005. Our ability to continue in the normal course of business is dependent upon our access to additional capital, as discussed above, and the success of our future operations. The success of our future operations is dependent on our ability to deploy our products and applications, generate significant revenue from the sale of our products and product applications and licensing of related products and services and establish and maintain broad market acceptance for our products.
Off-Balance sheet arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we have not entered into any derivative contracts nor do we have any synthetic leases.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. No change in the internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
