Note 1. Nature of Business and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of
Business
DigitalTown,
Inc (the “Company”) formed an advisory board to lead the next stages of
development for the Company as it constructs and integrates approximately 27,000
online communities into a social “civic and school spirit” network serving
students, alumni, schools, local towns and their citizens. The
advisory board is made up of innovative leaders in the technology,
entertainment, sports and content fields who are affiliated with companies
deeply rooted in interactive media. The advisory board members are
based in the greater Los Angeles area where the strategic planning and creative
development will generally take place. This network, 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 Internet domain names associated with all
of these high school communities.
The
Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects
these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At August
31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$15,884,160. Subsequent to August 31, 2008, the Company has received
cash proceeds totaling approximately $45,800 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 August 31,
2009. In the event the Company is unable to obtain additional capital
in the future, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses and/or cease
operations altogether.
Basis of
Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial information has been prepared by the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial
results for the interim six-month period ended August 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending February 28, 2009. The February 29, 2008 consolidated balance
sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. This financial information should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2008.

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.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company does not currently generate revenue from its operations.
Intangible Assets – Domain
Names
The
Company is in the development stage of its social-networking portal, and
accordingly, all costs including license renewals, associated with domain names
expected to be utilized in its portal have been capitalized and any future costs
to get the portal operational will be capitalized or expensed. 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 portal 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
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.
FIN
No. 48 requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax
position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more
likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions
meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the
financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty
percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant
tax authority.
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. 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.
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 three and six months ended
August 31, 2008 and 2007 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per
share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
As of
August 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had stock options outstanding of 4,118,000
and 3,297,000 respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
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
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.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities. This guidance states that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are
participating securities and should be included in the computation of earnings
per share using the two-class method outlined in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per
Share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines
earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security
according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed
earnings. The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2009 should not
have an effect on our reported earnings per share.

In
April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS
142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This guidance
addresses the determination of the useful life of intangible assets which have
legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that potentially limit a company’s
use of an asset. Under the new guidance, a company should consider its own
historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements. We are
required to apply the new guidance to intangible assets acquired after
December 31, 2008.

During
the six months ended August 31, 2008, the Company incurred $147,544 for license
renewals and $1,637 in additional domain purchases.
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.

valued at $6,000, to four directors of the Company for payment of director
fees.
On May
16, 2008, the Company issued 1,540 restricted common shares at $2.60 per share,
valued at $4,000, to four directors of the Company for payment of director
fees.
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 remaining balance due on their
subscription agreements. As of August 31, 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 August 31, 2008, the
entire $620,319 has been paid to the Company and has reduced the original
investor’s 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 August
31, 2008. As of October 2, 2008, no payments have been received and
the Company has not recorded the $300,735 in the stock subscription receivable
balance at August 31, 2008. The Company will record those future cash
receipts to Additional Paid in Capital when received.
Note
4. Stock Options
The
Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option
Plan. As of August 31, 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 from the grant date
anniversary. All options expire five years from the date of
grant.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six
months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, reflect the impact of SFAS
123(R). For the three months ended August 31, 2008, the Company
granted stock options to three consultants allowing for the purchase of up to an
aggregate of 175,000 shares of common stock, with a weighted-average-grant-date
fair value of $2.92. Total stock compensation expense for all option grants was
$449,927 and $993,107 for the three months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company has recorded $1,171,740 and $1,308,727 in stock compensation expense,
respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and
administrative expense. As of August 31, 2008, there was no tax benefit from
recording this non-cash expense due to the Company having a full valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets. The compensation expense impacted the
three and six months ended August 31, 2008 basic loss per common share by $0.02
and $0.04, respectively. There remains $679,346 of total
unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over
future periods through August 31, 2011.

Company
Overview
DigitalTown,
Inc (the “Company”) formed an advisory board to lead the next stages of
development for the Company as it constructs and integrates approximately 27,000
online communities into a social “civic and school spirit” network serving
students, alumni, schools, local towns and their citizens. The
advisory board is made up of innovative leaders in the technology,
entertainment, sports and content fields who are affiliated with companies
deeply rooted in interactive media. The advisory board members are
based in the greater Los Angeles area where the strategic planning and creative
development will generally take place. This network, 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 Internet domain names associated with all
of these high school communities.
It is the
Company’s intent to have its stock listed on a major stock exchange at a future
date when the Company’s financial condition and demand for its stock warrants
such a change.
In
September 2008, the Company named John A. Witham to the new position of
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Witham has
over 20 years of experience in effective corporate financial leadership and
raising capital.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008 and 2007
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the current three months decreased by
$617,447 to $619,085 compared to a year ago primarily due to a $543,181 decrease
in stock option expense. Excluding stock compensation expense for the
two comparable quarters, selling, general, and administrative expenses were
$169,158 for the three months ended August 31, 2008 compared to $243,425 for the
three months ended August 31, 2007. The decrease in selling, general,
and administrative expenses of $74,266 for the two comparable quarters was
primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense of $24,059 due to lower
headcount, investor relations expense of $15,811, professional fees of $12,154,
automobile expense of $9,213, employee benefit costs of $6,501 and a reclass of
property tax of $6,196. The Company’s overall net loss for the
current three months decreased by $613,467 to $622,126.
SIX
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008 and 2007
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the current six months decreased by
$255,069 to $1,522,396 compared to a year ago primarily due to a $136,987
decrease in stock option expense. Excluding stock compensation
expense for the two comparable quarters, selling, general, and administrative
expenses were $350,656 for the six months ended August 31, 2008 compared to
$468,738 for the six months ended August 31, 2007. The decrease in
selling, general, and administrative expenses of $118,082 for the two comparable
quarters was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $62,496,
compensation expense of $36,722 due to lower headcount and investor relations
expense of $15,948 offset by an increase of $10,908 in travel and entertainment
expense. The Company’s overall net loss for the current six months
decreased by $247,823 to $1,527,129.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SIX
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008
The
Company’s cash position at August 31, 2008 was $221,043, an increase of $153,882
from $67,161 at February 29, 2008. During the six months ended August
31, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $329,497 which was primarily
due to losses from operations, and decreases in accounts payable, accrued
payroll and accrued interest offset by stock based compensation expense, a
non-cash stock payment and a decrease in other receivables. Net cash
used in investing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2008 was
$148,781, of which, $147,544 was used for the renewal of existing domain names
and $1,637 was used for the purchase of additional domain names offset by $400
received from the sale of an asset. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the six months ended August 31, 2008 was $632,160 which consisted
of a $145,000 working capital loan from a director/stockholder of the Company
and payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $322,233,
exercise of stock options of $101,387 and stock purchase agreements of
$63,540.
Our current monthly operating expenses
for the six months ended August 31, 2008, adjusted for non-cash stock based
compensation of $1,171,740 and non-cash stock issued for director fees of
$10,000, was approximately $58,000 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 could be through the sale of our common stock, other
equity-based securities or issuance of debt instruments. 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.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of
DigitalTown, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations are based on
our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Management reviews its estimates on an
ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While DigitalTown
Inc.’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 1 to
its financial statements and year-end 10-K filed for February 29, 2008,
management believes the following accounting policies to be critical to the
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial
statements:
Intangible
Assets- Domain Names
The
Company is in the development stage of its social-networking portal, and
accordingly, all costs including license renewals, associated with domain names
expected to be utilized in its portal have been capitalized and any future costs
to get the portal operational will be capitalized or expensed. 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 portal 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 are
reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements:
In
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
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.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities. This guidance states that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are
participating securities and should be included in the computation of earnings
per share using the two-class method outlined in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per
Share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines
earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security
according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed
earnings. The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2009 should not
have an effect on our reported earnings per share.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS
142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This guidance
addresses the determination of the useful life of intangible assets which have
legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that potentially limit a company’s
use of an asset. Under the new guidance, a company should consider its own
historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements. We are
required to apply the new guidance to intangible assets acquired after
December 31, 2008.
FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
Any
statements contained herein related to future events are forward-looking
statements and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. DigitalTown, Inc. undertakes no
obligation to update any such statements to reflect actual events.
We are
exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate
changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative
disclosure about market risk is set forth below and in Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and
Capital Resources.
As of
August 31, 2008, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet investments or
hedging investments.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
An
evaluation made at the end of the period covered by this report was performed
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's president,
chief executive officer ("CEO") and the chief financial officer ("CFO") of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) to insure that the Company records, processes,
summarizes and reports in a timely and effective manner the information required
to be disclosed in reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Based on that evaluation and in taking into account the
limited number of employees noted in the following paragraph, the Company's
management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in timely bringing to their attention
material information related to the Company required to be included in the
Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Since the date of
this evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those
controls.
Due to
the limited number of Company employees engaged in the authorization, recording,
processing and reporting of transactions, there is inherently a lack of
segregation of duties. The Company periodically assesses the cost versus benefit
of adding the resources that would remedy or mitigate this situation, and
currently does not consider the benefits to outweigh the costs of adding
additional staff in light of the limited number of transactions related to the
Company's operations.
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
There
have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II
DigitalTown,
Inc. is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course
of its business. The Company believes that none of these actions will
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
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.
During
the quarter ended August 31, 2008, the Company entered into stock purchase
agreements and issued 29,285 restricted common shares at a price of $2.60 per
share, valued at $76,141. The Company has received proceeds of
$32,540 and the remaining balance of $43,601 has been recorded as subscription
receivable at August 31, 2008. The Company has collected $42,600 of
the subscription receivable for the period from September 1, 2008 to October 15,
2008.
During
the quarter ended August 31, 2008, the Company issued 39,500 common shares at an
average price of $2.57 per share for the exercise of stock options and received
cash proceeds of $101,387.

28, 2008, the Company cancelled 10,690 common shares because that were
previously issued for payment of accounts payable for services. The
agreement with the vendor was cancelled and the shares were put back
into treasury stock. The accounts payable to this vendor was recorded back
into the accounts payable aging. The Company re-issued and sold the
10,690 common shares at $2.90 per share, valued at $31,000 to a current
shareholder and received cash proceeds of $31,000.
