PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

GENERAL

The Company plans to form an Interactive Media Group Advisory Board made up of proven industry leaders along with representation from the Company’s current board.  The Interactive Media Group Advisory Board, once formed, will actively seek a west coast management company to oversee the design and development of its DigitalTown social-networking portal.  This portal, when complete, will connect approximately 27,000 local online spirit sites formed around a town and its high school and will include easy-to-use and free features such as email, alumni communication and reunion tools, calendar and organizing tools for boosters, personal profiles, photo, video and music sharing and timely community news.  The Company owns the domains associated with all of these communities.
 
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.

EMPLOYEES

As of May 5, 2008, DigitalTown, Inc. has three employees.  The Company’s employees are not represented by a union.  The Company considers its relations with its employees to be outstanding.
 
ITEM 1A.  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 years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 was $2,694,879 and $5,741,747 respectively and future losses are likely to occur.  Our accumulated deficit at February 29, 2008 is $14,357,031. As of February 29, 2008, there exists positive working capital of $11,549. We have negative cash flows from operations of $803,252. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to collect on our stock subscription receivables as needed or raise additional capital 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 approximately $73,000 per month.  We believe our current cash reserves and amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables 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 through collections on outstanding subscription receivables 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.

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 and Secretary/Treasurer.  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;
-
General economic conditions and trends;
-
Loss of a major funding source; or
-
Departures of key personnel

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

DigitalTown, Inc. leases from a director of the Company approximately 2,650 square feet of space used for offices and operations equipment storage at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, Minnesota at a monthly rent of $2,650 for a five year term which commenced on December 16, 2006.  The future rent obligations of this lease as of February 29, 2008 totaled $120,575.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.

The Company currently intends to retain any earnings for use in its operations and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Future dividend policy will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors based upon the Company's earnings, if any, its capital needs and other relevant factors.

Company Overview

The Company plans to form an Interactive Media Group Advisory Board made up of proven industry leaders along with representation from the Company’s current board.  The Interactive Media Group Advisory Board, once formed, will actively seek a west coast management company to oversee the design and development of its DigitalTown social-networking portal.  This portal, when complete, will connect approximately 27,000 local online spirit sites formed around a town and its high school and will include easy-to-use and free features such as email, alumni communication and reunion tools, calendar and organizing tools for boosters, personal profiles, photo, video and music sharing and timely community news.  The Company owns the domains associated with all of these communities.

Due to extenuating circumstances, the Company has withdrawn its application, which was applied for during the second quarter, for membership with the American Stock Exchange.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2007

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended February 29, 2008 decreased by $3,044,918 to $2,696,010 and this was primarily due to a $3,372,762 reduction of stock option expense compared to the year ended February 28, 2007.  Excluding stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $895,199 for the year ended February 29, 2008 compared to $567,355 for the year ended February 28, 2007.  The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $327,844 for the two comparable periods was primarily due to increases in professional fees, payroll expense, investor relations expense and occupancy expense.  The Company’s overall net loss for the year ended February 29, 2008 decreased by $3,046,868 to $2,694,879 compared to the year ended February 28, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash position at February 29, 2008 was $67,161, an increase of $58,228 from $8,933 at February 28, 2007.  During the year ended February 29, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $803,252 which was primarily due to losses from operations, an increase in other receivables and a decrease of deferred officer compensation and accrued payroll, offset by intangible asset impairment charge, stock based compensation expense and non-cash stock expense along with an increase in accounts payable.  Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended February 29, 2008 was $261,966 of which $181,653 was used for the renewal of existing and the purchase of additional domain names, $72,540 for website development costs and $7,773 was used for property and equipment purchases.  Tiger Media, a wholly owned subsidiary of DigitalTown, Inc., entered into an installment agreement in May 2007 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 year ended February 29, 2008, DigitalTown, Inc. made cash payments of $178,400 on the installment agreement. The remaining balance of $31,122 will be paid in March and 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 for the year ended February 29, 2008 was $1,123,446 which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $1,166,675 and exercise of stock options of $43,125 less the payoff of a $70,000 shareholder note payable and $16,354 of advances from officer/stockholder.


 
Page 7

 

Monthly cash operating expenses for the year ended February 29, 2008, was approximately $73,000 per month. We believe our current cash reserves and amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables 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.  In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital in the future, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

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/Website Development Costs

The Company is in the development stage of its website portal, and accordingly, all costs including license renewals, associated with domain names expected to be utilized in its website portal and website development costs have been capitalized.  Since the ownership of these domain names can be renewed at a nominal fee each year prior to their expiration date, the useful lives of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite and no amortization of the capitalized costs for the domain names will be recorded.  Amortization for any capitalized website development costs will start once a revenue generating site is in service.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets – domain names/website 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.

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.  The fair value of the Company’s stock options issued under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) have 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.


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.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) “ Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  These non-financial items include assets and liabilities such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and non-financial assets acquired and non-financial liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This election is irrevocable. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008 and has not elected the permitted fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 159 for any additional items as of March 31, 2008.


 
Page 9

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. In general, the statement 1) broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all events where one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, 2) broadens the use of fair value measurements used to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 3) changes the accounting for acquisition related fees and restructuring costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, and 4) increases required disclosures. We are required to apply SFAS No. 141(R) prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier application is not permitted.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter 2009.  SFAS No. 160 is currently not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

ITEM 7A.  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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Such information is accumulated by management, including our Chief Executive Officer and contract Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.
 
As of February 29, 2008, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and contract Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and contract Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 29, 2008, because of the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of February 29, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer and contract Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
 
 

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CEO and contract CFO, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.
 

 
Page 11

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and contract CFO, the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), as of February 29, 2008.
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at February 29, 2008:
 
Managements internal control system, like many small start-up companies, was dependant entirely on the founders. As such it had the inherent flaws of lack of segregation of duties and being subject to time constraints of an ever expanding set of demands that are part of growing a business. Consequently, management did not maintain effective control relating to the quarter end closing and financial reporting process in adequately preparing account reconciliations (stock option activity). Additionally, the Company had insufficient internal personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise within the Company's financial closing and reporting functions.
 
Due to our small size, the Company did not maintain effective control to assure segregation as the same employee was responsible for initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness.
 
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that, as of February 29, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by COSO. This annual filing does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent  registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual filing.
 
The Company intends to, and has already begun to initiate measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses through various means including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
 
Applying a more rigorous review of the quarterly close processes by the contract CFO to ensure that the performance of the control is evidenced through appropriate documentation which is consistently maintained.
 
During the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our 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.
 
 
Page 19

 
·
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.
 
·
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 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DigitalTown, Inc. (formerly BDC Capital, Inc.) as of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Business

The Company plans to form an Interactive Media Group Advisory Board made up of proven industry leaders along with representation from the Company’s current board.  The Interactive Media Group Advisory Board, once formed, will actively seek a west coast management company to oversee the design and development of its DigitalTown social-networking portal.  This portal, when complete, will connect approximately 27,000 local online spirit sites formed around a town and its high school and will include easy-to-use and free features such as email, alumni communication and reunion tools, calendar and organizing tools for boosters, personal profiles, photo, video and music sharing and timely community news.  The Company owns the domains associated with all of these communities.

The Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future.  At February 29, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,357,031.  Subsequent to February 29, 2008, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately $65,000 from its stock subscription receivable.  The Company anticipates that existing cash, stock subscription proceeds received to date, expected future proceeds from its stock subscription receivables 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, 2009.  In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital in the future, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company files consolidated financial statements that include its controlled Subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

Years Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007

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/Website Development Costs

The Company is in the development stage of its website portal, and accordingly, all costs including license renewals, associated with domain names expected to be utilized in its website portal and website development costs have been capitalized.  Since the ownership of these domain names can be renewed at a nominal fee each year prior to their expiration date, the useful lives of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite and no amortization of the capitalized costs for the domain names will be recorded.  Amortization for any capitalized website development costs will start once a revenue generating site is in service.

 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/website 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007

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.  The fair value of the Company’s stock options issued under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) have 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 years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 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 adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock options. Incremental shares attributable to the assumed exercise of stock options for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company had stock options outstanding of 3,422,500 and 3,125,000, respectively.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) “ Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  These non-financial items include assets and liabilities such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and non-financial assets acquired and non-financial liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This election is irrevocable. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008 and has not elected the permitted fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 159 for any additional items as of March 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. In general, the statement 1) broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all events where one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, 2) broadens the use of fair value measurements used to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 3) changes the accounting for acquisition related fees and restructuring costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, and 4) increases required disclosures. We are required to apply SFAS No. 141(R) prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier application is not permitted.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter 2009.  SFAS No. 160 is currently not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
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 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Since the useful life of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite, no amortization has been recorded.

At February 29, 2008, due to legal constraints on the use of our college domain names, the Company concluded that the carrying amount of their college domain names would not be recoverable and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $52,139.

During the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company capitalized $72,540 of website development costs.  As of February 29, 2008, due to changes in the Company’s website development plan, the Company concluded that the carrying amount of their website development costs would not be recoverable and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $72,540 for the entire website development costs incurred during the year.

Note 5. Income Taxes

At February 29, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,052,000. The net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income through 2028 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 2028.

Other

During the period from May 2007 to September 2007, holders of previously subscribed shares sold a portion of their shares to other subscription holders of the Company in order to pay the Company the balance due on their subscription agreements.  As of February 29, 2008, a total of 827,092 shares had been sold and transferred to the new purchaser for a total purchase price of $1,842,108 which is due to the original subscription holder. The underlying original subscription receivable due the Company for these transferred shares totaled $620,319.  As of February 29, 2008, the entire $620,319 has been paid to the Company and has reduced their stock subscription receivable accordingly.  Additionally, due to these shares being re-sold at prices in excess of the original face amount of the shares purchased, a portion of the proceeds is due back to the Company.  Per the 2006 stock subscription agreements, the seller of the subscribed shares is entitled to up to 200% of the face amount of each share sold and the Company is entitled to 50% of any additional proceeds of the stock in excess of that 200%.  Therefore, the Company is owed $300,735 for their share of the additional proceeds for sales that occurred through February 29, 2008.  As of May 7, 2008, no payments have been received and the Company has not recorded the $300,735 in the stock subscription receivable balance at February 29, 2008.  The Company will record those future cash receipts to Additional Paid in Capital when received.

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. The fair value of the Company’s stock options issued after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Merton (“Black-Sholes”) option-pricing model.

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.  Due to a lack of historical data, the expected life assumption was calculated based on the contractual term of the options.  Expected volatility was computed based on fluctuations in the daily price of the Company’s common stock.

For stock options granted during the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, we utilized the following key assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

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 on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).  For the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company granted stock options to eleven employees and consultants allowing for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 622,000 shares of common stock, with a weighted-average-grant-date fair value of $2.935 per share.  The Company recorded related compensation expense of $1,800,811.  For the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company recorded related compensation expense of $5,173,573.  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 asset. The compensation expense impacted the basic loss per common share for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 by $0.07 and $0.38 respectfully. As of February 29, 2008, there remains $28,170 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over future periods through October 31, 2009.
