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.
Page
2
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.
Page

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

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,

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.

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.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.

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.

Note
7. Stock Options
The
Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option
Plan. As of February 29, 2008, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock
may be granted under this plan 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. 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:

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