DESTINY MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2026
1. ORGANIZATION
Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in August 1998 under the laws of the State of Colorado and the corporate jurisdiction was changed to Nevada effective October 8, 2014. The Company develops technologies that allow for the distribution over the internet of digital media files in either a streaming or digital download format. The technologies are proprietary. The Company operates out of Vancouver, BC, Canada and serves customers predominantly located in North America, Europe, and Australia.
The Company's stock is listed for trading under the symbol "DSNY" on the OTCQB U.S. in the United States, under the symbol "DSY.V" on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and under the symbol "DME1.F" on the Berlin, Frankfurt, Xetra and Stuttgart exchanges in Germany.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Destiny Software Productions, Inc. ("DSPI"), MPE Distributions, Inc. ("MPE"), Tonality, Inc. ("Tonality"), and Sonox Digital Inc. ("Sonox"). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2025 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to those consolidated financial statements.
Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are related to the labour capitalized to software under development and computer software, the recoverability of long-term assets including property, equipment, and intangible assets, amortization expense, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

[d] Earnings Per Share
Net income (loss) per common share (basic) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share (diluted) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, and 2025:

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.
Play MPE®
The Company's core business is the Play MPE® online platform. Play MPE® distributes music for promotional purposes (broadcast quality audio, video, images, promotional information, metadata and other digital content) from record labels and artists to broadcasting professionals, music curators and music reviewers to discover, download, review and broadcast. Curators include radio programmers, digital streaming broadcasters, media reviewers (newspapers, magazines etc.), industry VIP's, DJ's, film and TV personnel, sports stadiums, retailers etc. In providing the distribution, Play MPE® provides several capabilities developed and designed to address the unique needs of both music promoters and broadcasters. Play MPE® was first to market and is the largest provider of this service and provides the most feature rich platform in the world.
Record labels and artists are Play MPE®'s customers. When adding music to the Play MPE® system, clients are targeting specific industry recipients who review and broadcast their music. Play MPE®'s primary value proposition in this marketing effort is a direct increase to record label and artist revenue through on-air broadcast royalties and indirect increases in revenue through growing song and artists' popularity.
Play MPE® provides numerous capabilities that improve record label efficiencies and the effectiveness of their promotional campaigns. The platform also provides administrative controls to enhance security for record label content. In doing so, Play MPE® satisfies a broad range of stakeholders representing diverse interests at record labels. Music is protected by Play MPE®'s patented proprietary watermarking system which provides watermarks unique to each recipient.
Customers range from small independent artists to the world's largest record labels (the "Major Record Labels").

Play MPE® CASTER / CASTER +
Play MPE®'s cloud-based Caster software includes local distribution functions that provide capabilities for a client to create and schedule release announcements and select its targeted audience. Caster is a fully self-serve platform where users can manage every step of their releases, from account setup through payment. This functionality was added in fiscal 2025. Caster+ is a release preparation service provided by staff of Play MPE®.
Caster is designed uniquely to suit music marketing plans and its significant components include:
- Release Creator includes drag and drop functionality to quickly embed images, social media links, insert video, add promotional files etc. to quickly create effective announcements.
- Release Scheduling allows numerous scheduling functions for initial announcements, repeated and updated announcements, changes in DRM (a recipient's ability to download or only stream the content) etc. These schedules can be uniquely edited by recipient or recipient list. Several administrative features here are also available to facilitate and manage release scheduling at scale.
- Templates facilitate consistent label branding and presentation while reducing release preparation time. Each release announcement can be saved as a template and reused or edited for future announcements. Clients can design and save unlimited templates to provide unique design and branding for individual artists or record labels.
- Contacts Management provides features that allow record labels to upload and manage their own targeted distribution lists. There are many features within this platform that provide efficiencies in destination management for all customers of Play MPE®. However, this section of the platform provides numerous functions that are critical for efficient contacts management at scale and is described in Caster's global distribution functionality. Within Contacts Management, users can easily select curated lists of engaged recipients provided by Play MPE® (see description below) or select their own managed recipient lists.

This functionality saves users time when creating new releases and allows them to plan for future releases more efficiently. Assets Management also supports Quickshare, a secure one-to-one file sharing function.
- Reporting of release results shows recipient interactions including downloads, streams, clicks and opens.
Intuitive designs and functionality across all areas of this portion of the platform simplify the distribution process, reduce customer time required to distribute, and facilitate the inclusion of information to improve engagement which ultimately increases record label and artist revenue.
Caster is currently available in English, Spanish, German, Japanese and French.
When competing with an established service within a local market, it is these features balanced against changing consumer behaviors that determine Play MPE®'s ability to increase and acquire market share. Competing services offer the basic distribution requirements inherent in the service but do so while missing many features that provide efficient delivery, engaged recipients and accurate and complete distribution lists.

Play MPE® Quickshare
Play MPE®'s Quickshare is a simplified distribution tool for Play MPE® customers to promote music directly to anyone inside or outside the Play MPE® platform. With this feature, customers can send a link to a dedicated webpage to allow streaming or downloading of content outside of Play MPE® Player. The distribution does not include numerous features included within Caster's full version and distribution is intended only to replace other file sharing services while attracting greater use within the Play MPE® platform. The initial version will provide limited access and sharing capabilities free of charge and is a value-added feature within Play MPE® local distribution suite of features.
Play MPE® CASTER (global architecture)
Play MPE®'s global distribution architecture was developed in close collaboration with our largest client to address the needs of its global approach to release distribution. This architecture provides functionality required for our largest client to conduct their unique approach to music distribution and provides numerous significant competitive advantages for this client. These features improve marketing coordination and revenue generation while reducing overall label staff time and costs.
Significant components include:
- Staff role management: Customers can grant varying capabilities or permissions for different staff positions. For example, one staff member can create a release while another can approve the release of this content. In a larger organization, this control ensures accurate and professional distributions are conducted, but allows for segregation of duties to maximize efficiency.
- Label management: With label management, administrative staff can determine which users have access to which labels and which content. Each label has a unique account environment allowing for its own unique setup, list curation, favorites, staff roles, templates etc. These unique environments also improve release security for a record label with a large global footprint.
- Global release sharing (replication): With global release sharing, distribution centers can share a release to a territory. That territory then can reuse the release while localizing it to suit the particular needs of that jurisdiction (editing language, artist information, local concert dates, local contacts etc). This eliminates duplication of upload and data entry while reducing errors. In the context of global distribution, across multiple territories, multiple labels, and thousands of unique releases, savings of staff time is significant. Metadata completeness and accuracy are also increased. When complete metadata is conveyed, recipient engagement is higher. Higher recipient engagement, increases record label revenue. Within the included metadata are ISRC codes which are unique codes used to remit track royalties globally. When ISRC codes are communicated, royalty remittances are complete and timely. These aspects provide significant competitive advantages.
- Release embargos: When marketing and promotion departments create global campaigns for highly anticipated music releases, staff restrict access to this content until the public release time. Here, record labels can permit early access to the relevant content so local offices can edit, localize and schedule releases but controls are added to restrict certain permissions and prevent premature release. Our largest client enjoys competitive advantages with these capabilities derived through cost savings and improved marketing campaigns. Absent these functions, global release coordination is more costly, less coordinated and often delayed.
- Asset repository integration: With this integration, Play MPE® automatically captures music, art, and associated metadata from an archival repository of our largest client, vastly reducing errors in release creation and data entry while making the process quicker. This further expands the competitive advantages enjoyed in global release sharing.

- Release management: There are numerous capabilities within release management that are necessary for efficient global release management. Content owners can change DRM for specific recipient groups within a release and quickly remove content globally if necessary etc.
- Asset management: Assets include music tracks, album art, metadata etc. Within the assets management portion, several features allow assets to be used, recomposed, combined, recombined etc. Features here allow efficient and quick delivery of new releases. Various aspects of assets management are used in global distribution situations.
- Release scheduling: While release scheduling is available for local distribution, many additional administrative features are designed to facilitate actions that reduce staff time in a global environment.
- Contacts management: Critically important to all promotions is the distribution of content to an interested and engaged audience. As introduced in the local distribution discussion, Caster provides a contacts management system with numerous 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 ultimately inaccurate.
Collectively, functionality in global release management provides numerous competitive advantages that reduce overall costs, and improve marketing collaboration while increasing record label revenue and cash flow. We are unaware of any other service that provides these global distribution functions.
Play MPE® CASTER (targeted list management services)
Recipient lists are bundles of active and engaged recipients with an interest in specific music types or genres. Lists are sold as a fixed price per list (or package). As recipient lists are adjusted in real time, changes in gross recipient numbers or active recipients does not directly or immediately impact revenue.
Fundamental to our customers' success in music marketing is reaching music curators capable of, and actively engaged in, remarketing the promoted content to a wider consumer audience. To limit unwanted access to new music and to increase recipient engagement, targeted and limited distribution is a vital component in music promotion. Thus, Play MPE® is a permissions-only access system and only recipients designated or targeted to receive content obtain access to that content. Current and correct identification of engaged recipients is therefore critical to our customers' success. While targeted distribution limits access to new content, this aspect also improves recipient side engagement by eliminating unwanted content.
Play MPE® actively manages curated and targeted distribution lists or "packages". List creation and list maintenance involve several proprietary processes that are designed to create complete, active, accurate, and targeted lists to facilitate efficient marketing campaigns. Play MPE® provides more than 400 unique targeted lists comprising of more than 17,000 unique and active recipients over 60 countries. To facilitate targeted music marketing campaigns, these lists are grouped by territory (typically by country), by genre of music, and by recipient type (see recipient player discussion). Relying on proprietary technical innovations and processes, these recipient lists are updated in real time. With an annual churn averaging between 27-34%, these recipient lists would quickly become inaccurate absent Play MPE®'s active curation. Play MPE® regularly monitors activity levels and recipients through proprietary analytics. Play MPE® provides the widest and most accurate distribution channels available in the industry.
For smaller record labels and independent artists, the provision of a list of destinations is a requirement for sale as these customers do not know who to contact. For larger record labels, promotions staff can upload their own contact lists. However, proprietary processes ensure Play MPE® lists are more accurate, complete and engaged. The majority of releases distributed through Play MPE®, include at least one targeted distribution list, curated by Play MPE®.
Play MPE® Player
Music curators review and download content through a cloud-based player and mobile 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.
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 curators, 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 to, and appropriate for, that recipient.
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 access to release metadata. Recipient side satisfaction directly increases activity which directly improves the effectiveness of promotional efforts of record label customers.

MTR™
The Company launched MTRTM in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 to address an unmet need identified among smaller Play MPE® customers. Current MTRTM revenue is primarily derived from this customer segment.
MTRTM is an early-stage technology operating within the large and expanding radio tracking industry. The Company continues to develop additional functionality to enable broader commercial adoption, including features designed for users with greater data requirements and larger music repertoires.
Products under development
Destiny is currently developing additional functionality and complimentary services that are expected to expand the Company's addressable market, or act as catalysts to the Company's sales activities for Play MPE®. These are described more fully in business development section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, filed on November 24, 2025.

Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was $1,039,118 compared to the revenue of $1,133,963 for the three months ended May 31, 2025, a decrease of 8.4% period over period. Total revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was $3,285,366 compared to the revenue of $3,379,692 for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, a decrease of 2.8% period over period. Revenue decreased during the quarter primarily due to the execution of a longer-term agreement with a major label customer, which resulted in the elimination of certain short-term pricing that had previously contributed to revenue. Revenue from certain major label customers was also lower compared to the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by continued strength in the Company's independent customer segment, supported by growth in customer acquisition, improved sales conversion rates and pricing adjustments implemented during the year. While the total number of releases distributed during the quarter decreased compared to the prior year period, revenue generated per release increased. MTR™ revenue decreased by 11.8% during the quarter; however, it remains an immaterial component of the Company's overall revenue.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was 84.0% of revenue, compared to 85.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2025. The Company's cost of revenue consists of data hosting and processing charges, third party transaction related costs, and engineering, technical and customer support costs. These costs are driven by the size and volume of customer transactions processed, as well as the relative proportion of "full-service" versus "self-service" revenue. Our self-service sales are derived from customers who have been provided with a customer account to access our encoder to independently upload and publish releases. Our full-service revenue is derived from customers who are fully serviced by our internal staff, who prepare and publish releases on their behalf. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, our gross margin decreased compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to higher salaries and wages included in cost of revenue, resulting from temporary changes in team responsibilities and organizational adjustments implemented during the period.
Operating Expenses
Operating costs during the three months ended May 31, 2026 increased by 4.6% to $1,097,213 (May 31, 2025 - $1,049,348). The increase in operating costs was primarily the result of the following:
- An increase in wages and benefits resulting from a one-time employee-related charge of $110,467 and lower capitalization of development costs.
- Increase in professional fees of $13,842 reflecting the timing of legal, tax and audit services compared to the prior year.
- Increase in travel expenses of $4,762 associated with strategic planning sessions, customer meetings and sales activities.
- Lower amortization expense of $25,926 and foreign exchange gain of $46,651 partially offset the above listed increases.

Revenue
Total revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was $3,285,366 compared to the revenue of $3,379,692 for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, a decrease of 2.8% period over period.
The decrease in revenue during the nine-month period was primarily attributable to lower revenue generated from major label customers, including the impact of a longer-term agreement with a major label customer that reduced certain short-term pricing available in prior periods. The decline was partially offset by continued growth in the Company's independent customer segment, which experienced increases in customer acquisition and customer engagement during the period. After adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 decreased by 2.9% compared to the prior year period.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was 84.3% of revenue, compared to 86.2% for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to higher infrastructure costs associated with additional hosting capacity deployed to support the Company's platform, as well as higher salaries and wages included in cost of revenue resulting from organizational changes and temporary increases in employee responsibilities during the period.
Operating Expenses
Operating costs during the nine months ended May 31, 2026 increased by 9.3% to $3,485,902 (May 31, 2025 - $3,188,530). This rise can be primarily attributed to the following factors:
- An increase in wages and benefits of $438,524, primarily due to a one-time employee-related charge of $354,592, lower capitalization of development costs resulting in a higher portion of payroll costs being expensed during the period, and increased consulting costs. This increase was partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.
- Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $28,489, reflecting higher marketing activities during the first half of the fiscal year.
- Professional fees decreased by $168,393, primarily due to legal costs associated with litigation in the prior year that did not recur in the current period.

Net Income (Loss)
During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 the Company reported a net loss of $213,327 and $695,985, respectively (May 31, 2025 - a net loss of $72,288 and $256,242, respectively).
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, adjusted EBITDA loss was $(55,500) and $(205,597), respectively (May 31, 2025 - adjusted EBITDA was $122,097 and $292,848, respectively). Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. 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 our 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 the Company. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures on 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:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a description of our critical accounting policies, see the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates" and "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" contained in our 2025 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes to the critical accounting policies discussed therein during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of May 31, 2026, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our revenues are denominated primarily in United States dollars and Euros while our operating expenses are incurred 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 the Canadian dollar to these currencies. We do not believe aggregated foreign exchange fluctuations in the Euro, and the Australian, Canadian, and US dollars have had a material effect on our results of operations during the periods presented.
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 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 May 31, 2026, 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 March 1, 2026, to May 31, 2026.
