BUSINESS
|
GENERAL
On
August
31, 2006, the Company filed with the SEC to withdraw their “business development
company” status. The Company has changed its business plan and is focused on
building internet-based social networks. The company owns more than 27,000
“spirit sites”, web domain names that combine a hometown and mascot for the
nation’s public and private secondary-education system. The company is working
closely with school administrators and technology experts to design and launch
a
robust portal platform that will feature school-related news, information
and
video, organizational tools, year-book-style personal profile pages, ecommerce
for spirit-gear and communication tools for students, boosters, the alumni
community and administrators. As part of that plan, the Company has changed
its
name to DigitalTown, Inc. effective March 1, 2007. The Company is currently
developing a revenue model associated with the use of the DigitalTown
portal.
The
Company was founded in 1982 under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Command
Small Computer Learning Center, Inc., a computer training company. Over a
period
of years, the Company became involved in the sale of computer components
and,
eventually, became a value added reseller (VAR) of major computer brands.
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 changed its name to
CyberStar Computer Corporation. In August 2000, the Company changed its name
to
eNetpc, Inc. In December 2004, the Company elected to be regulated as a business
development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and changed
its
name to BDC Capital Inc. On August 31, 2006, the Company filed with the SEC
to
withdraw their “business development company” status. As part of that plan, the
Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. on March 1, 2007. The Company’s
headquarters are located at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337,
and its
telephone and facsimile numbers are (952) 890-2362 and (952) 890-7451,
respectively. The Company's Internet addresses are www.bdccapital.com,
www.bdcpartners.com and www.digitaltown.com. The company is traded in the
over-the- counter market under the ticker DGTW.

RISK
FACTORS
|
We
are
subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks
and
uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before
deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties
actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could
be
materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could
decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We
Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the
Future
We
have
historically lost money. The loss for the twelve months ended February 28,
2007
and 2006 was $5,741,747 and $1,218,843
respectively
and
future losses are likely to occur. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity
and
cash flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed
and
on acceptable terms. No assurances can be given that we will be successful
in
reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Our current monthly cash
operating expenses are $32,000 per month. We believe our current cash reserves
and
amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivable
should
be
sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months.
We
May Need to Raise Additional Capital to Finance Operations
Our
operations have relied almost entirely on external financing and collecting
on
the outstanding subscription receivable to fund our operations. Such financing
has historically come from a combination of borrowings and from the sale
of
common stock. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated
operating expenses and future development, design and launching of portals
for
each school website. We cannot assure you that financing, whether from external
sources or related parties, will be available if needed or on favorable terms.
The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing
stockholders. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the
need
to curtail business operations. Any of these events would be materially harmful
to our business and may result in a lower stock price.
Our
Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate
Significantly
There
has
been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance
that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result,
this could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our common
stock
in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced,
and
is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations
that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without
regard
to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as
quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall
economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of
our
common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our
stock
price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.
Page
2
Our
Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which May
Make
it More Difficult For Investors to Resell Their Shares Due to Suitability
Requirements
Our
common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB
Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given that the market
for
such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risks
to
investors are greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for
our
common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make
it
more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third
parties
or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
It
is the Company’s desire to have its common stock traded on a national
exchange.
We
Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel
Our
future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of
Richard Pomije, our Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer,
Secretary/Treasurer and acting Chief Financial Officer. We cannot assure
you
that we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for him or any other
key personnel. Any loss or interruption of our key personnel's services could
adversely affect our ability to develop our business plan. We do not have
an
employment agreement with Mr. Pomije, nor do we presently maintain key-man
life
insurance policies on him.
Minnesota
Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders
May
Consider Favorable
Provisions
of Minnesota law, such as its business combination statute, may have the
effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company.
As a
result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing
to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Our
Officers and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence
Over
Matters Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ
From
Other Stockholders
Our
executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, will have the ability
to
nominate two (2) members to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our directors
and executive officers, whether acting alone or together, may have significant
influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other
matter submitted to our Board for approval, including issuing common and
preferred stock, and appointing officers, which could have a material impact
on
mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially
all
of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control.
The
interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other
stockholders.
Our
Common Stock Price May be Volatile
The
trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price
of the
common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares,
depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not
be
directly related to our operating performance. These factors include the
following:
-
|
Price
and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to
time;
|
-
|
Volatility
resulting from trading in derivative securities related to our
common
stock including puts, calls, long-term equity anticipation securities,
or
Leaps, or short trading positions;
|
-
|
Actual
or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating
results or changes in the expectations of securities
analysts;

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company for the year ended February 28, 2007 as an operating company
and
for the year ended February 28, 2006 as a business development company, 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-K for the year ended February 28, 2007 contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of 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 (BDC Partners), a company in which the Company invests, 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 desired. 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.
|
Page
7
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 continues to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, but
is
managed so that it will not be subject to the provisions of the 1940
Act.
EFFECT
ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TAX STATUS
The
election to withdraw the Company’s election as a Business Development Company
under the 1940 Act has resulted in a significant change in the Company's
required method of accounting. Business Development Company financial statement
presentation and accounting utilizes the fair value method of accounting
used by
investment companies, which allows Business Development Company’s to recognize
income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical
cost.
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 Business Development Company
is
considered a change in accounting principle.
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
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. The
net effect, as of February 28, 2006, of the Company’s election to withdrawl its
business development company status pursuant to the Investment Company Act
of
1940 was ($797,056) net loss. As a business development company, the Company’s
investment in BDC Partners was not previously audited prior to February 28,
2006. Management has determined that it is impractical and not cost effective
to
retroactively apply this change in accounting to the financial statements
of BDC
Partners prior to February 28, 2006, as allowed per FAS 154 par. 11. Therefore,
the statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended February 28,
2006
will not be comparative. However, these prior period financial statements
are

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
YEARS
ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2007 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2006
For
the
year ended February 28, 2007, the Company incurred a net operating loss of
$5,740,928 due mainly to $5,173,573 of non-cash stock based compensation
issued
to officers/directors, other employees and consultants during the year. The
Company also incurred $158,259 of administrative fees for the management
of the
Company and total salary and payroll expense of $167,787 of which $18,865
was
deferred. The Company also incurred $145,744 of professional fees. The company’s
overall net loss as an operating company for the year ended February 28,
2007
was $5,741,747
As
a business development company
For
the
year ended February 28, 2006, operating as a business development company,
the
Company incurred a net investment loss of $1,059,421. The main components
of
this loss related to $79,790 of professional fees with a majority of these
fees
relating to accounting and investor relations and $809,888 for interest expense
on convertible debt. On the interest expense, $775,906 relates to the
amortization of original debt discount which originated from the beneficial
conversion feature related to the debt. In addition, the Company recorded
administrative expenses of $147,816 for the management of the
company.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company’s
cash
position at February 28, 2007 was $8,933, a decrease of $8,832 from $17,765
at
February 28, 2006. During the year ended February 28, 2007, net cash used
in
operating activities was $382,855, with no current revenue activity, our
primary
use of operating funds is with general and administrative expenditures. Net
cash
used in investing activities was $224,063 for the purchase of additional
domain
names and the renewal of existing domain names. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $598,086 which consisted primarily of payments received on
stockholder subscription receivables of $582,530.
Our
current monthly operating expenses are approximately $32,000 per month.
We
believe our current cash reserves and
amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivable
should
be
sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months.
We
anticipate that any additional financing would be through the sales of our
common stock or other equity-based securities and future collections on our
subscription receivable.
As
a business development company
BDC
Capital, Inc.’s cash position at February 28, 2006 was $15,346, a decrease of
$244,833 from $260,179 at February 28, 2005. During the year ended February
28,
2006, net cash used in operating activities was $507,628. Net cash provided
by
financing activities of $262,795 for the year ended February 28, 2006 consisted
primarily of issuance of common and preferred stock and convertible debentures
net of payments on convertible debt.
As
of
February 28, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet
investments or hedging (derivative) investments.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of DigitalTown, Inc.’s financial condition
and
results
of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and
expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management
reviews its estimates on an on going basis. Management bases its estimates
on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to
be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. While DigitalTown Inc.’s significant accounting policies are
described in more detail in Note 1 to its financial statements, management
believes the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments
and
estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Intangible
Assets- Domain Names
The
Company is still in the development stage of its web site portal and
accordingly, all costs associated with their domain names have been capitalized.
Since the company is still in the development stage of its web site portal
and
the ownership of these domain names can be renewed at normal fee prior to
the
expiration date, therefore its useful life is deemed to be indefinite and
no
amortization will be recorded.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment, and intangibles subject to depreciation
and amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 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
a
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 by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the
fair value of the asset.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements:
In
July
2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No.
48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting treatment (recognition
and
measurement) for an income tax position taken in a tax return and recognized
in
a company's financial statements. The new standard also contains guidance
on
"derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition". The provisions of FIN 48 are effective
for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating
the
impact of this statement but we believe the adoption of FIN 48 will not have
a
material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In
September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued
Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements
when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB
108").
This SAB addresses diversity in practice of quantifying financial statement
misstatements. It establishes an approach that requires quantification of
financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements
on
each of the company's financial statements and the related financial statement
disclosures. The SAB is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have
an
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS
No.
157"). This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based
on
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset
or
liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop those assumptions. This standard is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15,
2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement. We believe
the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
|
The
market risk inherent in the Company’s financial statements and in its financial
position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest
rates. This risk is low as the Company has very limited debt and has no
third-party debt.

CONTROLS

|
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
An
evaluation made at the end of the period (February 28, 2007) 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.
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
during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2007 that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.

Audit
Committee Policies and Procedures:
The
primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company’s
financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the results
of
their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for preparing the
Company’s financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for
auditing those financial statements. The Committee in carrying out its
responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible
in
order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances.
The
following shall be the principal recurring processes of the Audit Committee
in
carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth
as a
guide with the understanding that the Committee may supplement them as
appropriate.
·
|
The
Committee shall have a clear understanding with management and
the
independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately
accountable to the board and the Audit Committee, as representatives
of
the Company’s stockholders. The Committee shall have the ultimate
authority for and responsibility to evaluate and annually recommend
the
selection, retention, and, where appropriate, the replacement of
the
independent auditors. The Committee shall review and approve the
performance by the independent auditors of any non-audit-related
service
if the fees for such service are projected to exceed 15% of the
most
recently completed fiscal year’s combined audit fees and audit-related
service fees. The Committee shall review and discuss with the auditors
their independence from management and the Company and the matters
included in the written disclosures required by professional independence
standards applicable to the independent auditors. Annually, the
Committee
shall review and assess whether the independent auditor’s performance of
non-audit services is compatible with the auditor’s independence. In
addition, the Audit Committee shall review any candidate for the
senior
accounting and/or financial executive position prior to his or
her
appointment by the Company.
|
·
|
The
Committee shall review and discuss with the independent auditors
and with
the head of the Company’s finance department the overall scope and plans
for the audits. Also, the Committee shall discuss with management
and the
independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting
and
financial controls, including the Company’s system to monitor and manage
business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs. Further,
the
Committee shall meet separately with the independent auditors,
without
management present, to discuss the results of their respective
audit
procedures.
|
·
|
The
Committee shall review and discuss the results of the quarterly
review and
any other matters required to be communicated to the committee
by the
independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards.
The
chair of the Committee may represent the entire Committee for the
purpose
of this review.
|
·
|
The
Committee shall review and discuss with management and the independent
auditors the financial statements to be included in the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K, including their judgment about the quality,
not just
the acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness
of
significant judgments, the basis and appropriateness of any change
in
significant accounting policies and the clarity of the disclosures
in the
financial statements. Also, the Committee shall review and discuss
the
results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be
communicated to the Committee by the independent auditors under
generally
accepted auditing standards.
|
Page
17
·
|
The
Committee shall review and discuss with management and the independent
auditors any material financial or non-financial arrangements of
the
Company which do not appear on the financial statements of the
Company and
any transactions or courses of dealing with parties related to
the Company
which transactions are significant in size or involve terms or
other
aspects that differ from those that would likely be negotiated
with
independent parties, in each case where such arrangements or transactions
are relevant to an understanding of the Company’s financial
statements.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
DigitalTown,
Inc.
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DigitalTown, Inc.
(formerly BDC Capital, Inc.) as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year
ended
February 28, 2007, as an operating company. In addition, we have audited
the
accompanying balance sheet of BDC Capital, Inc. as of February 28, 2006 and
the
related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the
year then ended as a business development company. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required
to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As
described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company changed the
nature
of its business from a business development company to an operating company
in
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of DigitalTown, Inc. (formerly
BDC
Capital, Inc.) as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2007 as an
operating company, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the
year ended February 28, 2006 as a business development company in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years
Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
Note
1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies:
Nature
of Business
DigitalTown,
Inc. (formerly known as 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 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 planned to focus on
current
opportunities available to this attractive business model in the 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 changed
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.
The
Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and
expects
these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At February 28,
2007,
the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,662,152. Subsequent to February
28, 2007, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately
$192,000
from its stock subscription receivable. The Company anticipates existing
cash,
proceeds received to-date as well as expected future proceeds from its
stock
subscription receivable and any additional financing needed through the
sale of
its common stock or other equity based securities, will be sufficient to
meet
its working capital and capital expenditures needs through at least February
28,
2008.
Principles
of Consolidation
As
a
result of the Company’s Business Development Company withdrawal, the Company now
files consolidated financial statements that include its controlled subsidiary.
Page
26
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalTown,
Inc. and
its controlled subsidiary, BDC Partners, Inc. All material intercompany
accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
election to withdraw the Company’s election as a Business Development Company
under the 1940 Act has resulted in a significant change in the Company's
required method of accounting. Business Development Company financial statement
presentation and accounting utilizes the fair value method of accounting
used by
investment companies, which allows Business Development Company’s to recognize
income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical
cost.
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 Business Development Company
is
considered a change in accounting principle.
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. As a
business development company, the Company’s investment in BDC Partners,Inc. was
not previously audited prior to February 28, 2006. Management has determined
that it is impractible and not cost effective to retroactively apply this
change
in accounting to the financial statements of BDC Partners prior to February
28,
2006, per SFAS 154 par. 11. Therefore, the statements of operations and
cash
flows for the year ended February 28, 2006 will not be comparative. However,
these prior period financial statements are included in Note 12 as originally
filed.
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.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consists of cash, other receivables, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 107
“Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” the Company is required
to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments at the balance
sheet
date. The company considers the carrying value of its financial instruments
in
the financial statements to approximate fair value.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company does not currently generate revenue from its operations.
Page
27
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.
Intangible
Assets - Domain Names
The
Company is still in the development stage of its web site portal and
accordingly, all costs associated with their domain names have been capitalized.
Since the company is still in the development stage of its web site portal
and
the ownership of these domain names can be renewed at normal fee prior
to the
expiration date, therefore its useful life is deemed to be indefinite and
no
amortization will be recorded.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis
over
their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the term
of
the related lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred;
major
renewals and improvements are capitalized. As items of property or equipment are
sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from
the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
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.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”)
Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the fair value of
share based-based payments, including grants of employee stock options
and
employee stock purchase plan shares, to recognized in the income statement
based
on their fair values unless a fair value is not reasonably estimable. Prior
to
the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the company followed the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related interpretations, as
permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The fair value of the Company’s stock
options issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) was estimated using
a
Black-Scholes pricing model, which assumes no expected dividends and estimates
the option expected life, volatility and risk-free interest rate at the
time of
the grant.
Page
28
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other
comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income
(loss)
include such items as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains (losses) on certain marketable securities. For the year ended February
28,
2007 and 2006, the Company had no items defined as other comprehensive
income
(loss).
Net
Loss Per Common 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 years ended February 28,
2007 and
2006 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their
effect would be anti-dilutive.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation
No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB
Statement
No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting treatment (recognition
and
measurement) for an income tax position taken in a tax return and recognized
in
a company's financial statements. The new standard also contains guidance
on
"derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition". The provisions of FIN 48 are effective
for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating
the
impact of this statement but we believe the adoption of FIN 48 will not
have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued
Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements
when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB
108").
This SAB addresses diversity in practice of quantifying financial statement
misstatements. It establishes an approach that requires quantification
of
financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements
on
each of the company's financial statements and the related financial statement
disclosures. The SAB is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have
an
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS
No.
157"). This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be
based on
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset
or
liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop those assumptions. This standard is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15,
2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement. We believe
the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

Cash
Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits
The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed
federally insured limits. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Company up to $100,000. Account balances in excess of federally
insured limits were $0 at February 28, 2007 and 2006. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
Advertising
Advertising
costs are charged to operations when incurred. The Company did not incur
any
advertising expense during the year ended February 28, 2007 and 2006.
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:
Adjust

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 consolidated financial statements to reflect the changes listed
above.

4. 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 February 28, 2007 no draws have been made against this
commitment and the term sheets have expired.
Note
5. Income Taxes
At
February 28, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $5,167,000. The net operating loss carryforwards are available
to
offset future taxable income through 2027 and may be subject to the limitations
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code if significant changes in
the
equity ownership of the Company have occurred. If not used, net operating
loss
carryforwards will expire in varying amounts through fiscal year
2027.
The
Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax
asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related net benefits as

of
February 28, 2007, 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

Note
7. Stockholders Equity
On
October 4, 2006, the Company initiated a reverse stock split of 75 to 1.
Accordingly, the per share amounts included in these financial statements
have
been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock 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. Stock Options
The
Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option
Plan. As of February 28, 2007, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common
stock
may be granted under these plans determined by the board of directors.
The stock
options may be granted to directors, officers, employees, consultants and
advisors of the Company. Options granted under this plan are non-qualified
stock
options and have exercise prices and vesting terms established by the Board
of
Directors at the time of each grant. Vesting terms of outstanding options
range
from three months to two years of employment anniversary. All options expire
five years from the date of grant.
Effective
March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”)
Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the fair value
of share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and
employee
stock purchase plan shares, to be recognized in the income statement based
on
their fair values unless a fair value is not reasonably estimable. Prior
to the
Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company followed the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related interpretations, as
permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The fair value of the Company’s stock
options issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) was estimated using
a
Black-Scholes pricing model, which assumes no expected dividends and estimates
the option expected life, volatility and risk-free interest rate at the
time of
grant.
The
Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method, under
which
prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the
impact
of SFAS No. 123(R). The valuation provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) apply
to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date
and
are subsequently modified. The Company had no remaining estimated compensation
for grants that were outstanding as of the effective date that would need
to be
recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost
estimated for the SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures. The Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February
28,
2007, reflects the impact of SFAS 123(R). During the year ended February
28,
2007, we granted stock options to twelve employees and consultants allowing
for
the purchase of up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of common stock,
with a
weighted-average-grant-date fair value of $1.725 per share. The Company
recorded
$5,173,573 of related compensation expense for the year ended February
28, 2007.
This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense.
There
was no tax benefit from recording this non-cash expense due to the Company
having a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The
compensation expense had impacted the February 28, 2007 basic loss per
common
share by $0.38 for the year ended February 28, 2007. There remains $216,952
of
total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized
over
future periods.
Page

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 uses the Black-Sholes-Merton (“Black Sholes”)
option-pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair market
value
for employee stock awards. 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
Black-Scholes valuation model incorporates a range of assumptions that
are
disclosed in the table below. The risk-free interest rate is based on the
United
States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant with a remaining term
equal to
the expected life of the awards. The expected life assumption was calculated
based on the contractural term of the options due to a lack of historical
data.
Expected volatility was computed based on fluctuations in the daily price
of our
common stock.
For
stock
options granted during the year ended February 28, 2007, we utilized the
fair
value of our common stock on the date of grant and employed the following
key
assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model:
Risk-free
interest rate
|
4.75%
|
Expected
life of options granted
|
