BDC
Capital, Inc.
Note
1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies:
Nature
of business
BDC
Capital, Inc. (“The Company”) was formed as a Minnesota corporation on April 7,
1982. It was incorporated under the name Command Small Computer Learning
Center,
Inc., a computer training company. In 1987, the Company changed its name
to
Command Electronics, Inc. In February 1995, the Company acquired CyberStar
Computer Systems, a manufacturer and marketer of microcomputers and servers,
and
in 1997 it changed its name to CyberStar Computer Corporation. In 2000, the
Company changed its name to eNetpc, Inc. In November 2004, the Company changed
its name to BDC Capital, Inc. BDC Capital, Inc. has engaged in the sale of
computer components, development of software and resell of major computer
brands. The names "BDC Capital, Inc." "we", "our" and "us" used in this report
refer to BDC Capital, Inc.
On
December 10, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a
business development company (BDC) as outlined in the Investment Company
Act of
1940 by filing a Form NT-54A. As a BDC, the Company plans to focus on current
opportunities available to this attractive business model in these somewhat
uncertain economic times.
On
August
31, 2006, the Company filed with the SEC to withdraw their “business development
company” status (see Note 2 for further information). The Company has changed
its business plan to become a multiple-site online social-networking community
portal through the internet. As part of that plan the Company intends to
change
its name to DigitalTown, Inc. effective March 1, 2007. The Company is currently
developing the DigitalTown portal. This portal, when complete, will include
features such as email, alumni communication and reunion tools, chat, a
wide
range of high school activities such as music, drama and athletics, personal
profiles, photo, video and music sharing and timely community news. The
Company is currently developing a revenue model associated with the use
of the
DigitalTown portal.
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying financial
statements for the interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion
of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the quarterly period presented. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for
the
years ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2006
as
filed with the SEC. See discussion of change in accounting principle
below.
The
results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2006
are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be achieved for
the
full fiscal year ending February 28, 2007.
The
election to withdraw the Company’ election as a BDC under the 1940 Act has
resulted in a significant change in the Company's required method of accounting.
BDC financial statement presentation and accounting utilizes the fair value
method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to
recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to
historical cost.
4
In
addition, majority-owned subsidiaries are not consolidated and instead,
investments in those subsidiaries are reflected on the balance sheet as an
investment in and advances to affiliates, at fair value. As an operating
company, the required financial statement presentation and accounting for
securities held by the Company utilize either fair value or historical cost
methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment
and the
Company's intent with respect to the period of time it intends to hold the
investment, and the Company and its subsidiaries are reflected for financial
accounting purposes as a consolidated entity. The change in accounting due
to
the conversion to an operating company from a BDC is considered a change
in
accounting principle.
As
an
operating company, the Company consolidates its financial statements with
its
subsidiary, thus eliminating the investment in and advances to affiliate
accounts that were reflected on the Company's balance sheet as of August 31,
2006 and February 28, 2006, respectively.
Management
has retroactively applied this change in accounting principle in accordance
with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting for Changes and
Error Corrections” for the Company’s balance sheet as of February 28, 2006. For
comparison purposes, the prior period financial statements are included in
Note
10 as originally filed.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements, as presented herein, are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting under principles of consolidation
consisting of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary.
As
of
November 30, 2006, the Company has one wholly owned subsidiary which is BDC
Partners, Inc.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of
three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Long-Lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets - domain names
are
reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to
be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to
estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset.
If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows,
an
impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount
of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
5
Income
taxes
Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating losses and
tax
credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred
tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for
the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the
enactment.
Stock-based
compensation
Effective
March 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (R) “Share-Based
Payment” (SFAS 123 (R)) which requires an entity to reflect on its income
statement, instead of pro forma disclosures in its financial footnotes, the
cost
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair market value of the award. Statement 123 (R)
supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” for periods beginning
in fiscal 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) using the modified prospective
transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard
as
of March 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year ending February 28,
2007. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the nine months ended November 30, 2006, reflects the impact of SFAS 123
(R). In
accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have not been restated
to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123 (R).
For
periods prior to March 1, 2006, if compensation expense had been determined
consistent with the method in SFAS No. 123, on a pro forma basis, BDC’s net
investment loss and basic diluted earnings would have been unchanged for
the
three and nine months ended November 30, 2005.
SFAS
123
(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards
on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion
of
the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over
the
requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The Company recorded $5,149,484 of related compensation expense
for
the three month period ended November 30, 2006. This expense is included
in
selling, general and administrative expense. There was no tax benefit from
recording this non-cash expense. The compensation expense had impacted both
basic and diluted loss per share by $0.30 for the three months ended November
30, 2006. As of November 30, 2006, $224,913 of total unrecognized compensation
expense related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over future
periods.
The
Company uses the Black-Sholes-Merton (“Black Sholes”) option-pricing model as a
method for determining the estimated fair market value for employee stock
awards. This is the same option-pricing model used in prior years to calculate
pro forma compensation expense under SFAS 123 (R) footnote disclosures.
Compensation expense for employee stock awards is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period of the award. The adoption of SFAS 123 (R)
also
requires certain changes to the accounting for income taxes and the method
used
in determining diluted shares, as well as additional disclosure related to
the
cash flow effects resulting from share-based compensation. The relevant
interpretive guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 was applied in connection
with its implementation and adoption of SFAS 123 (R).

The
intrinsic value of a stock award is the amount by which the fair value of
the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the award. The total intrinsic
value of outstanding options was $859,375 at November 30, 2006.
Net
loss per share
Basic
loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding per share adjusted for the
incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock options under the Company's
stock option plans, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock.
Incremental shares attributable to the assumed exercise of stock options
and
conversion of debt and preferred stock for the three and nine months ended
November 30, 2006 and 2005 were excluded from the computation of diluted
loss
per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In
June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum
recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized
in the financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim
periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. FIN No.
48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company
is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48, but does not anticipate
that it will have a material effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Note
2. Withdrawal
of Election to be regulated as a Business Development
Company
On
August
31, 2006, the Company filed a notification of withdrawal of election to be
subject to sections 35 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Accordingly,
the Company is no longer subject to the 1940 Act but will continue as an
operating reporting public company subject to the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934. The net effect, as of February 28, 2006, of the Company's election
to
withdraw its business development company status pursuant to the Investment
Company Act of 1940 was as follows:

$
|
(797,056

|
The
Company's election to withdraw its business development company election
is
treated as a change in accounting principle under FAS 154. The Company
retrospectively adjusted its February 28, 2006 balance sheet which is included
in these financial statements to reflect the changes listed above.

Note
4. Intangible Assets - domain names
The
Company has been purchasing internet domain names since June 2005. The ownership
of these domain names can be renewed each year at a nominal fee prior to
the
expiration date, therefore its useful life is deemed to be indefinite and
no
amortization will be recorded.
Note
5. Debt Financing
The
Company has entered into binding term sheets that provide for convertible
debt
financing bearing interest at 8.0% payable at maturity and convertible at
50% of
the Company’s common stock fair value totaling $16.5 million. The Company, at
its option may draw up to $50,000 weekly against the total investor commitment
over a 24 month period beginning February 28, 2005, subject to certain
restrictions. As of November 30, 2006, no draws have been made against this
commitment.
Note
6. Notes payable - stockholder
As
of
November 30, 2006, the Company had interest bearing advances from a stockholder
in the amount of $70,000. The unsecured notes are due at various dates from
June
21, 2007 to August 1, 2007 with an interest rate of 8%. Accrued interest
at
November 30, 2006 totaled $8,076.

Note
7. Stockholders Equity
On
October 4, 2006, BDC initiated a reverse stock split of 75 to 1. The
earnings/loss per common share calculations have been adjusted to reflect
this
split. On October 10, 2006, all 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock were
converted into common stock on a 1-for-1 basis.
Note
8. Related Party Transactions
The
Company sub-leases from a director of the Company approximately 1,000 square
feet of space used for offices and operations equipment storage at 11974
Portland Avenue, Burnsville, Minnesota at a monthly rent of $750 renewable
monthly. The Company’s lease payments made to the director for the three and
nine months ended November 30, 2006 was $2,250 and $6,750,
respectively.
Note
9. Commitments and Contingencies
The
Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The
following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2006, which
should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by,
the
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This
Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended November 30, 2006 contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(“Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “shall,” “could,” “expect,”
“estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “probable,” “should,” “continue,” or
similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms.
The
forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been
compiled by our management and are considered by management to be reasonable.
Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no
representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those
forward-looking statements.
Withdrawal
as a Business Development Company
The
reader of this management discussion, the related financial statements and
notes
thereto, and other recent Company filings should understand that the portfolio
company and the Company’s method of accounting upon its withdrawal of its
election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the
investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), have materially changed the
Company’s financial reporting.
REASONS
FOR CEASING TO BE A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
We
determined that many of the regulatory, financial reporting and other
requirements imposed by the 1940 Act were too restrictive and prevented the
Company from operating in the manner in which it desires. Among these
restrictions are the following:
·
|
BDCs
are subject to restrictions in the 1940 Act on the type and amount
of
securities, other than Common Stock, that they can issue. We believe
that
the Company would be better served by greater flexibility in our
capital
structure.
|
·
|
The
closely regulated nature of BDCs causes them to be subject to greater
legal and accounting expenses.
|
The
Company’s Board of Directors agreed with our assessment and determined that it
was no longer feasible for the Company to operate as a BDC. The appropriate
course of action was to withdraw the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC
by filing a Form N-54C with the SEC. Following the withdrawal of the election,
the Company will continue to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act,
but
will be managed so that it will not be subject to the provisions of the
1940Act.
13
EFFECT
ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TAX STATUS
The
election to withdraw the Company as a BDC under the 1940 Act results in a
significant change in the Company’s required method of accounting. BDC financial
statement presentation and accounting utilizes the value method of accounting
used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to recognize income and value
their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.
Operating
companies use either the fair-value or historical-cost methods of accounting
for
financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held, depending
on how the investment is classified and how long the company intends to hold
the
investment. Changing our method of accounting reduces the market value of
our
investment in a privately held company by eliminating our ability to report
an
increase in value of our holdings as they occur. Also, as an operating company,
we will have to consolidate our financial statements with our subsidiary,
thus
eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to
BDCs.
We
do not
believe that the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC
will have any impact on its federal income tax status, since we never elected
to
be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code. (Electing treatment as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M generally allows a qualified investment company to avoid paying
corporate level federal income tax on income it distributes to its
shareholders.) Instead, we have always been subject to corporate level federal
income tax on our income (without regard to any distributions we make to
our
shareholders) as a “regular” corporation under Subchapter C of the
Code.
CHANGE
IN
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The
Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2005, as
presented herein, were prepared using the method of accounting applicable
to
investment companies, while our financial statements, as presented herein,
as of
November 30, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2006,
are
prepared using the method of accounting applicable to operating companies.
Our
financial statements for these periods are not comparable. We have determined
it
is impractical to comply with the retroactive application of prior periods
being
presented on an operating and consolidated basis in accordance with Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting for Changes and Error
Corrections (“FAS #154”).
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2006
For
the
three and nine months ended November 30, 2006, the Company incurred a net
loss
of $5,349,599 and $5,566,847, respectively. The main component of this loss
related to $5,149,484 of stock based compensation issued to officers/directors,
other employees and consultants during the three months ended November 30,
2006.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
BDC
Capital, Inc.’s cash position at November 30, 2006 was $11,195 a decrease of
$6,570 from $17,795 at February 28, 2006. During the nine months ended November
30, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $346,740 which was primarily
due to losses from operations, offset by increases in accounts payable and
deferred officer salaries. Net cash provided by financing activities of $560,835
for the nine months ended November 30, 2006 consisted primarily of payments
received on stockholder subscriptions receivable during the nine month
period.
14
Our
current monthly operating expenses are approximately $50,000 per month. We
anticipate that any additional financing would be through the collection
of
subscriptions receivable, sales of our common stock or other equity-based
securities. We do have in place a $16.5 million equity line commitment from
new
and existing investors. BDC Capital, Inc. signed agreements for the equity
line
in February 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, BDC Capital may elect
to
receive as much as $16.5 million from the investors in common stock purchases
over the next two years.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation
of our
financial condition and results of operations and those that require
management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical
accounting policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In
June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum
recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized
in the financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim
periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. FIN No.
48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company
is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48, but does not anticipate
that it will have a material effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
Any
statements contained herein related to future events are forward-looking
statements and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. BDC Capital, Inc. undertakes
no
obligation to update any such statements to reflect actual events.
ITEM
3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We
are
exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes. Information
relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is
set
forth below and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Our
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to our
cash and equity line of credit, which was $16.5 million as of November
30,
2006.
As
of
November 30, 2006, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet investments
or
hedging investments.
ITEM
4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
An
evaluation made at the end of the period covered by this report was performed
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's president,
chief executive officer ("CEO") and the chief financial officer ("CFO") of
the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures to insure that the Company records, processes, summarizes
and
reports in a timely and effective manner the information required to be
disclosed in reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including
the
CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in timely bringing to their attention material information
related to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic
Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Since the date of this evaluation,
there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in
other factors that could significantly affect those controls.
15
However,
due to the limited number of Company employees engaged in the authorization,
recording, processing and reporting of transactions, there is inherently
a lack
of segregation of duties. The Company periodically assesses the cost versus
benefit of adding the resources that would remedy or mitigate this situation,
and currently does not consider the benefits to outweigh the costs of adding
additional staff in light of the limited number of transactions related to
the
Company's operations.
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
There
have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II
ITEM
1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
BDC
Capital, Inc. is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal
course of its business. BDC believes that none of these actions will have
a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
ITEM
1A.
