NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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 DigitalTown, 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. 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 retained a web site development company to create beta sites
for its
DigitalTown portal and has selected the Minnesota Lake Conference high schools
for its initial test. The eleven high schools in the Lake Conference,
ringing Minneapolis and St. Paul, represent more than 22,000 students and
hundreds of thousands of alumni and boosters. The sites will offer a
rich menu of free features, from reunion planning and booster organizing
tools
to video of school activities and athletics which will attract and connect
alumni, boosters, students and administrators and deepen their relationships.
The spirit sites will launch throughout the fall.
The
company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and
expects
these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At August
31, 2007, the company had an accumulated deficit of
$13,129,446. Subsequent to August 31, 2007, the company has received
cash proceeds totaling approximately $357,250 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 August 31,
2008.
4
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
Subsidiaries. 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 previously
reported interim financial statements of BDC Capital, Inc. for the
three and six months ended August 31, 2006, per SFAS 154 par.
11. Therefore, the statements of operations for the three and six
months ended August 31, 2006 and the statement of cash flows for the six
months
ended August 31, 2006 will not be comparative. However, these prior
period financial statements are included in Note 9 as originally filed for
informational purposes.
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 consist 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.
5
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company does not currently generate revenue from its operations.
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/Web Site Development Costs
The
Company is still in the development stage of its web site portal and
accordingly, all costs including license renewals, associated with domain
names
expected to be utilized in its web site portal and web site development costs
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 a nominal fee prior to their expiration date, the useful life
of the
domain names are deemed to be indefinite and no amortization will be
recorded. Since the Company is still in the development stage of its
web site portal, no amortization has been recorded for the web site development
costs.
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.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets – domain names/web
site development costs 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.
6
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” applying the modified prospective
method. This standard 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 grant
date
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 and after the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R) has been 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.
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 three months ended
August 31, 2007, 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 three and
six
months ended August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006 were excluded from the
computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 August 31, 2007 and February 28,
2007. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.

Note
3. Notes Payable – Stockholder
On
June
18, 2007, the Company paid all interest bearing advances from a stockholder
in
the amount of $70,000. The unsecured notes were due at various dates
from June 21, 2007 to August 1, 2007 with an interest rate of
8%. Accrued interest at August 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007 totaled
$11,156 and $9,476, respectively.
Note
4. Stockholders Equity
On
October 4, 2006, the Company initiated a reverse stock split of 75 to
1. Accordingly, all per share amounts reported in the financial
statements for all periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the
reverse stock split.
On
April
20, 2007, the Company issued 22,250 restricted common shares, valued at $50,063,
to a Minneapolis area high school for their assistance in initially developing
the portal revenue model.
Note
5. Stock Options
The
Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option
Plan. As of August 31, 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 immediate 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 grant date 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 and after the adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) has been 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.
8
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 three and six months
ended
August 31, 2007, reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). For the three
months ended August 31, 2007, the Company granted 292,000 stock options with
a
calculated fair value of $1,069,400 and recorded related compensation expense
of
$993,107. For the six months ended August 31, 2007, the Company had
$1,001,069 in stock compensation expense. 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 impacted
the
six months ended August 31, 2007 basic loss per common share by 0.04. There
remains $131,090 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected
to be recognized over future periods.
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).

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 three months ended August 31, 2007, 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-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 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.
|
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.
14
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, or to the three interim quarterly financial statements ended May 31,
2006,
August 31, 2006 and November 30, 2006, respectively, as allowed per FAS 154
par.
11. Therefore, the statements of operations and cash flows for the
three months ended May 31, 2006 will not be comparative. However,
these prior period financial statements are included in Note 9 to the Company’s
financial statements, as originally filed for informational
purposes.
Company
Overview
The
Company has applied for membership with the American Stock Exchange and plans
to
be trading on the exchange by December 2007. The Company also hired
Integrated Corporate Relations (ICR), a leading investor relations and financial
communications consultancy, to assist with all aspects of its investor relations
program.

August
1, 2007, Gary Hall joined the DigitalTown Board of Directors. Mr.
Hall currently serves as President of Pringo Networks, a prominent Los Angeles
based company fusing social networking and media sharing platforms into cohesive
online communities. Before joining Pringo, Hall was critical in
developing Reunion.com into a top ten interface, building broad outreaches
in
both partnerships and users (currently 26 million) since the company’s
inception. He led all of the company’s online marketing and overall
strategic development. Mr. Hall is still an active owner in
Reunion.com.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007
For
the three months ended August 31,
2007, the Company incurred a net operating loss of $1,236,532. The
Company incurred $14,500 of administrative fees for the management of the
Company and total salary and payroll expense of $78,713 of which $11,423
was
deferred salary expense and stock option expense of $993,107. The
Company also incurred $72,988 of professional fees which included $30,000
paid
to Stifel Nicolaus and $7,575 for the analysis and design of 10-12 Beta sites
for the DigitalTown portal. The Company also incurred $24,476 of
investor relations expense of which $23,250 pertained to payments made to
Integrated Corporate Relations (ICR), the Company’s new investor relations
counsel. The company’s overall net loss for the three months ended
August 31, 2007 was $1,235,593.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SIX
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007
The
Company’s cash position at August 31, 2007 was $19,205, an increase of $10,272
from $8,933 at February 28, 2007. During the six months ended August
31, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $369,534 which was primarily
due to losses from operations, offset by increases in accounts payable, a
non
cash stock payment, stock based compensation expense and deferred officer
compensation. Net cash used in investing activities for the six
months ending August 31, 2007 was $101,840 of which $72,884 was used for
the
renewal of existing and the purchase of additional domain names, $25,000
for web
site development costs and $3,956 was used for fixed asset
purchases. Tiger Media, a wholly owned subsidiary of DigitalTown,
Inc., entered into an installment agreement with an online services vendor
for
the renewal of existing domain names and assistance in purchasing additional
domain names. The total amount of the non-interest bearing
installment agreement was $214,080. For the six months ended August
31, 2007, DigitalTown, Inc. made cash payments of $71,360 on the installment
agreement. The remaining balance of $142,720 will be paid in 8 monthly payments
of $17,840 for the period of September 2007 to April 2008 and is included
in
accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet and non-cash investing
and
financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $481,646 which consisted of payments
received on stockholder subscription receivables of $568,000 less the payoff
of
a $70,000 shareholder note payable and a decrease of $16,354 in advances
from
officer/stockholder.
Our
current monthly operating expenses for the three months ended August 31,
2007,
adjusted for non cash stock based compensation of $993,107, was approximately
$81,000 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 sale of our
common
stock or other equity-based securities.
16
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 ongoing 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/Web Site Development Costs
The
Company is still in the development stage of its web site portal and
accordingly, all costs, including license renewals, associated with domain
names
expected to be utilized in its web site portal and web site development costs
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 a nominal fee prior to their expiration date, the useful life
of the
domain names are deemed to be indefinite and no amortization will be
recorded. Since the Company is still in the development stage of its
web site portal, no amortization has been recorded for the web site development
costs.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets – domain names/web
site development costs 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.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements:
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.

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.
As
of
August 31, 2007, 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 and in taking into account the limited
number of employees noted in the following paragraph, 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.
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.
