NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) June 30, 2003 1. BUSINESS Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc. incorporated in Delaware in 1994, develops, assembles and markets computer installations consisting of hardware and software, which capture video and scanned images, link the digitized images to text and store the images and text on a computer database and transmit this information to remote locations. The principal product of the Company is the Compu-Capture Law Enforcement Program, which is marketed to law enforcement agencies and jail facilities and generated the majority of the Company's revenues during the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived principally from U.S. government agencies. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are unaudited. These financial statements and disclosures have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with the fiscal years 2002 and 2001 financial statements, which states that our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to resolve liquidity problems, principally by obtaining capital, commencing sales and generating sufficient revenues to become profitable. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from the sale of hardware, software, post customer support (PCS), and other related services. PCS includes telephone support, bug -8- fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis. Other related services include basic consulting and training. Included with the hardware is software that is not considered to be incidental. Revenue from transactions with customers where the software component is not considered to be incidental is allocated between the hardware and software components based on the relative fair value of the respective components. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of software without a related hardware component. Revenue allocable to software components is further allocated to the individual deliverable elements of the software portion of the arrangement such as PCS and other services. In arrangements that include rights to PCS for the software and/or other services, the software component arrangement fee is allocated among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables determined using vendor-specific objective evidence, which has been established by the separate sales of these deliverables. The Company recognizes the revenue allocable to hardware and software licenses upon delivery of the product to the end-user, unless the fee is not fixed or determinable or collectibility is not probable. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Revenue allocable to PCS is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the PCS is provided. Revenue allocable to other services is recognized as the services are provided. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding of the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. No exercise of common stock equivalents were assumed during any period because the assumed exercise of these securities would be antidilutive. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. The remaining provision of this statement are consistent with the Board's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of this relationship established between the holder and the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Since the Company has already classified it's Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock outside its stockholders' deficiency section, the Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 150 will have a material impact upon the Company's financial statements. -9- 4.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that will have affected our financial condition and results of operations. Certain statements under this section may constitute "forward-looking statements". The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Critical Accounting Policies No material changes have occurred in the disclosure with respect to our critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. The remaining provision of this statement are consistent with the Board's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of this relationship established between the holder and the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 150 will have a material impact upon the Company's financial statements. General Financial Condition We had net losses of $478,199 and $431,689 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, we had a cash balance in the amount of $15,896 and current liabilities of $2,824,633 including obligations of $39,634 and $1,596,837 to officers and convertible debenture holders, respectively. We do not have sufficient cash or other assets to meet our current liabilities. In order to meet those obligations, we will need to raise cash from the sale of securities or from borrowings. Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with the fiscal years 2003 and 2002 financial statements, which states that our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to resolve liquidity problems, principally by obtaining capital, commencing sales and generating sufficient revenues to become profitable. Our ability to -12- obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Short-Term Objectives 1. The short-term objective of the Company is to continue to expand the sale and acceptance of its core solutions by offering new and synergistic products to its installed base in the criminal justice market. The Company's objective is to expand with these, and additional products and services, into much larger commercial and federal markets. Long-Term Objectives 1. To seek additional products to sell into its basic business market--Criminal Justice -- so that DDSI can generate sales adequate enough to allow for profits. New products include FMS (Fingerprint Matching System), and Identify on Demand. Over the next twelve months, management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from operations and external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become payable. The Company has in the past successfully relied on private placements of common stock securities, bank debt, loans from private investors and the exercise of common stock warrants in order to sustain operations. DDSI is doing the following in its effort to reach profitability: o Cut costs in areas that add the least value to DDSI. o Derive funds through investigating business alliances with other companies who may wish to license the FMS SDK (software developers kit). o Increase revenues through the introduction of Compu-Capture to schools, specifically towards kindergarten through twelfth grades, for the creation of ID cards. o Increase revenues through the introduction of a scaled down version of our Compu-Capture product. o Expand the Compu-Capture product acceptance as an employee identification/badging system in response to market demand o Focus on recruiting and supporting Value Added Resellers targeting DDSI's primary market. o Pursuing strategic relationships enabling the Company to develop and support products and services related to our primary markets. Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30 2002 Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 of $471,036 increased $56,878 or 13% from the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company generates its revenues -13- through software licenses, hardware, post customer support arrangements and other services. The overall increase in the Company's revenue is attributed to the completion of two SI-3000 projects. Software, hardware and installation combined sales increased $166,326 or 167% while maintenance revenues decreased $109,448 or 35% from the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of revenues increased $37,095 or 45% due to the completion of the SI-3000 projects and increased to 25% of total revenues from 20% in the same period a year earlier. Costs and expenses decreased $232,457 or 18% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of revenue increased $37,095, interest and amortization of deferred debt cost decreased by ($161,825) due to the decrease in the costs related to debentures, depreciation expense decreased ($12,467), general and administrative expenses decreased ($1,886), sales and marketing increased $61,939 and research and development decreased ($117,737) and other income increased $37,576 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The overall decrease is primarily due to the cost containment efforts of the Company. General and Administrative expenses for the six month period ending June 30, 2003 was $508,679 versus $510,565 for the same period prior year for an decrease of $1,886. This decrease was due to a combination of the judgment against the company for $160,313 (net of rent deposit) for breaking its lease and an increase in filing fees of $19,948 to a decrease in salaries and related payroll expenses of ($135,742), consulting fees of ($14,400) for services paid in stock, legal fees of ($16,016), travel expense of ($7,410), telephone expense of ($6,626) and miscellaneous items for ($1,953). Sales and Marketing expenses increased $61,939 for the six months period ended June 30, 2003 from $57,238 (2002) to $119,177 (2003) or a 108% increase. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in professional consulting of $42,350, an increase in salaries, commissions, benefits and payroll taxes in the aggregate of $35,190, a decrease in trade show expenses of ($3,168), travel of ($4,461), advertising of ($6,176) and miscellaneous items for ($1,796). Research and development for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $33,638 compared to $151,375 for the same period prior year for a decrease of $117,737 that was due in part to a decrease in research and development consulting costs of ($113,272) and support line of ($1,880). Also contributing to the overall decrease was the decline in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes in the aggregate of ($2,585). In keeping with the goal to streamline costs yet achieve a working product the Company is re-evaluating its' current development strategy and resources resulting in a cutback of expenses. The net loss for the Company decreased 32% for the six months ending June 30, 2003 to $607,185 from $896,520 for the six months ending June 30, 2002. This was principally due to the decrease in expenses and debentures incurred during the period. Three Months June 30, 2003 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $260,338 versus three months ended June 30, 2002 of $189,996 increased $70,342 or 37%. The completion of two SI-3000 projects attributed to the overall increase in revenue. Software and installation revenues increased $118,797. With the completion of the SI-3000 -14- projects, the cost of revenues also increases. Costs of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $95,882 versus the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $13,688 increased $82,194. Maintenance revenues decreased $48,455 or 31% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from the three months ended June 30, 2002. This is attributable to the decrease in software maintenance contract dollar amount in 2003. Costs of revenue and expenses increased 116,852 or 19% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus the three months ended June 30, 2002. As discussed above, cost of revenue increased $82,194 due to the completion of 2 SI-3000 projects. General and administrative expenses increased $104,943 or 44% to $344,208 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $239,265 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The judgment against the company by its landlord for breaking its lease of $160,313 was offset by the reduction in salaries and other payroll related expenses, travel expense, telephone expense and rent expense. Research and development have also contributed to the overall decrease in reducing consulting costs of ($62,273). Sales and Marketing increased $26,838 or 80% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from the three months ended June 30, 2002. The addition of professional consulting and increased salary and other related payroll costs account for the increase for the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus the three months ended June 30, 2002. Depreciation expense decreased ($6,155) due to the lack of asset purchases in 2003. Also attributed to the decrease are the expenses related to the debentures incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Debenture expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $270,484 versus three months ended June 30, 2002 of $255,805 increased $14,679. Other income increased $43,374 due to refunds from overpayment from prior years. The net loss for the Company increased $46,510 or 11% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to ($478,199) from ($431,689) for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This was principally due to the increase in sales and marketing costs during the period. -15- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's revenues have been insufficient to cover the cost of revenues and operating expenses. Therefore, the Company has been dependent on private placements of its Common Stock and issuance of convertible notes in order to sustain operations. In addition, there can be no assurances that the proceeds from private placements or other capital will continue to be available, or that revenues will increase to meet the Company's cash needs, or that a sufficient amount of the Company's Common Stock or other securities can or will be sold or that any Common Stock purchase options/warrants will be exercised to fund the operating needs of the Company. The Company has total liabilities and contractual obligations of $2,824,634 as of June 30, 2003. These contractual obligations, along with the dates on which such payments are due, are described below:

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was ($389,596) and ($459,197), respectively. The decrease in cash used from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus 2002 of $69,601 was principally due to the decrease in net loss for the six months.

This change is due to a reduction of restricted cash ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period prior year. -16- Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $390,014 and $61,153 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, reflecting an increase of $328,861. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of convertible debentures in the amount of $500,000 net of issuance costs of $106,958. Item 3.
