NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by DigitalTown, Inc. (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 period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended February 28, 2009.
Note 2. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of Business
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 and focused their efforts on developing a plan to integrate their nearly 27,000 high school domain names into a social civic and school spirit network serving students, alumni, schools, local towns and their citizens. As part of that plan, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. on March 1, 2007.
The Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At November 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,026,480. Subsequent to November 30, 2009, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately $83,500 from its stock subscription receivables. 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 November 30, 2010. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of Consolidation
The Company files consolidated financial statements that include its wholly-owned subsidiary Tiger Media. 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 recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is generated from commerce based transactions generated from our websites and display of graphical advertisements (display advertising).
Intangible Assets Domain Names/Website Development Costs
Domain name cost is accounted for in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs. Certain modules and components of the Companys overall website development are ready for their intended use and the websites are currently operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are currently being expensed and the purchase of any new domain names are capitalized. Previously, during the infrastructure development stage of its websites, the Company capitalized the purchase of new domain names and the annual domain name renewal fees. Since the ownership of each domain name can be renewed for a nominal renewal 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.
Website development costs are accounted for in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software which requires that all internal and external costs incurred to develop the internal-use software necessary to operate the websites are capitalized. Amortization will begin when an individual module or component of the overall internal-use software is ready for its intended use. The cost of such module or component will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, as determined by the Company, after taking into account the effects of obsolescence, technology, competition and other economic factors. The Company has components of its website development that are operational and are being amortized over a three year life.

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 a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes by following an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
The Company follows 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 consolidated 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
The Company records its stock-based compensation arrangements calculating 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 Companys stock options have been estimated using the 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 August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. The Company adopted this guidance during the three month period ended November 30, 2009.

DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (SFAS 167) and SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any current impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are as follows:
|

During the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company capitalized $13,242 in additional domain name purchases. Since the useful life of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite, no amortization has been recorded.
During the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company incurred $200,452 of annual domain name renewal fees and has amortized $94,126 on a straight line basis and has recorded the remaining $106,326 as prepaid expense as of November 30, 2009. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company expensed $51,301 and $94,126, respectively, of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees and is classified in Cost of revenues in the Companys Statement of operations.
During the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company capitalized $23,349 of website development costs. The Company has determined that these costs have an estimated useful life of three years.

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. A total of 827,092 shares had been sold and transferred to the new purchasers 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. The entire $620,319 has been paid to the Company and has reduced the original investors 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 those sales. As of January 14, 2010, no payments have been received regarding the additional proceeds due the Company and the Company has not recorded the $300,735 in the stock subscription receivable balance at November 30, 2009. The Company will record those future cash receipts to Additional Paid in Capital if and when received. The Company is not actively pursuing collection at this time.
Note 6. Stock Options
The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of November 30, 2009, 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. The terms of the options vary from one year to five years from the date of grant.
The Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, reflect the impact of their stock-based compensation. For the three months ended November 30, 2009, the Company granted no stock options. Total stock compensation expense for all option grants was $82,643 and $507,326 for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded $129,809 and $1,679,066 in stock compensation expense, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of November 30, 2009, 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 nine months ended November 30, 2009 basic loss per common share by $0.003 and $0.005, respectively. There remains $158,200 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over future periods through April 30, 2011.

The Company has not exercised its rights to charge up to 4% interest on the subscription amounts outstanding and the Company has provided no downside protection to the subscribers. The downside protection in the terms for the subscription agreements received on August 31, 2005 and December 30, 2005 requires the Company to reimburse the subscription holder up to 30% of the $.75 purchase price, or $.225, if the market price of the stock is below $.75, when converted. The protection may be provided in additional shares if necessary. For the nine month period ended November 30, 2009, there was no downside protection provided because the stock price did not go below $.75 when converted. The subscription agreements do not define the term when converted. The Company has taken the position that if at the time that a purchaser pays in full for the shares under a subscription agreement and the closing price of the shares of the Companys stock is less than $.75, the shareholder would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price. Once the subscription shares have been paid for in their entirety, the downside protection ceases.
Due to the recent economic downturn and the market value of the Companys stock, which is currently trading at below $2.50 per share, the Company continues to evaluate the collectability of its subscription receivable pertaining to 1,300,000 shares at $2.50 per share.
The Company has collected approximately $83,500 of additional outstanding subscription receivables for the period from December 1, 2009 to January 14, 2010.

Company Overview
DigitalTown, Inc. (the Company) completed its nationwide rollout of nearly 27,000 high school spirit content websites in December 2009, which represents the first phase of the Companys plans to develop powerful, user generated and interactive sites that will serve all the constituents of local high schools, and by extension, their local communities. This phase aggregates existing content from across the Internet that is relevant to each high school. Each school site is customized to reflect each schools colors, with links to their official high school web page. This phase will allow us to aggressively engage with partners to add functionality and features unique to each domain. Phase two of the design roll out is expected to start in January 2010. This design phase will start interacting with our content partners with user profiles and professional website templates for sport teams, school clubs, booster clubs, alumni groups and more and will provide hyper-local information down to the demographics of every school district in the United States.
On September 29, 2009, the Company signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with The Active Network Inc. covering a range of content, technology and business services. The companies intend to leverage Actives extensive data and applications suite to leverage DigitalTowns unique portfolio of 27,000 URLs in the market for hyper-local content. Through the strategic alliance, the companies will initially focus on integrating Active.com content, including an extensive directory of events and facilities, school schedules, scores and rankings, with DigitalTowns websites. The companies will also collaborate on a number of technology solutions including event registration and organization, team and organizational websites, and localized online communities. The companies intend to monetize the sites through online advertising and a variety of subscription and transaction services that are being contemplated.
In June 2009, the Company announced www.AmericasProdigy.com, a premier talent discovery website for high school students which will focus on promoting musical contestants who will be able to post their songs and videos on the DigitalTown websites. The high school contestants will compete for prizes aimed at furthering their musical careers as well as benefiting the school. The project is scheduled to commence in the 2010/2011 school year and is expected to drive additional internet traffic to the DigitalTown websites.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 and 2008
During the three months ended November 30, 2009, the Company recorded revenue of $2,937 and cost of revenue of $54,618 for a negative gross profit of $(51,681) compared to no revenue operations in 2008. The revenue consisted of minimal commissions generated from advertising on our websites and the cost of revenue consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $51,300, server/bandwidth expense of $2,001 and amortization of website development fees of $1,317.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the most current three months decreased by $454,147 to $234,686 compared to a year ago due to a non-cash decrease in stock compensation expense of $424,683 for the most current three months. The decrease in stock compensation expense was primarily due to the Company not granting any new stock option agreements. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $152,043 for the three months ended November 30, 2009, compared to $181,507 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $29,464 for the two comparable quarters was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $59,982 partially offset by increases in salary expense of $19,337 and investor relations of $10,174. The Companys overall loss for the current three months decreased by $402,750 to $288,812.
NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 and 2008
During the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company recorded revenue of $4,888 and cost of revenue of $98,760 for a negative gross profit of $(93,872) compared to no revenue operations in 2008. The revenue consisted of commission generated from advertising on our websites and the cost of revenue consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $94,126, server/bandwidth expense of $2,001 and amortization of website development fees of $2,633.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the most current nine months decreased by $1,604,909 to $606,320 compared to a year ago due to a decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense of $1,549,257 for the most current nine months. The decrease in stock compensation expense was primarily due to the Company granting fewer new stock option agreements and reversal of $408,634 of previously recorded stock compensation expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2009 due to forfeitures. The $408,634 of previously recorded stock compensation expense consisted of stock options that were previously expensed, but not fully vested on the termination date of various employees and advisors. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $476,512 for the nine months ended November 30, 2009, compared to $532,163 for the nine months ended November 30, 2008. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $55,651 for the two comparable periods was primarily due to decreases in professional fees of $95,946, travel and entertainment of $10,290 partially offset by an increase in salary expense of $43,071 and legal fees of $8,749. The Companys overall net loss for the current nine months decreased by $1,513,304 to $705,387.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009
The Companys cash position at November 30, 2009, was $8,426, a decrease of $35,488 from $43,914 at February 28, 2009. During the nine months ended November 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $577,994 compared to cash used of $525,244 for the comparable period. When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $52,750 for the nine months ended November 30, 2009 was due to an increase of $106,326 in prepaid expense pertaining to annual domain name renewal fees, an increase of $70,528 in accounts receivable and a $29,952 increase in cash operating expenses offset by an increase of $83,870 in accounts payable, an increase of $60,500 in deferred officer compensation and a $9,686 increase in accrued expense.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2009, was $36,591 of which $13,242 was used for the purchase of additional domain names and $23,349 for website development costs as compared to net cash used of $206,845 of which $203,344 was used for annual domain name renewal fees, $3,778 for the purchase of additional domain names and $123 used for purchase of fixed assets along with $400 of proceeds from the sale of asset for the comparable period. The change in the current period was due mainly to the annual domain name renewal fees which are now treated as an operating expense vs. a capitalized cost for the nine months ended November 30, 2008.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2009 was $579,097 which consisted of $334,500 of proceeds from the issuance of stock, proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $39,482 less principal payments on the loan of $3,235, payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $194,000 and cash advances from an officer of $14,350. For the comparable period of the nine months ended November 30, 2008, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $740,508 which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $413,832, proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $145,000 less principal payments on the loan of $39,537, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $114,072 and $107,141 of proceeds from issuances of stock.
Monthly cash operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2009, were approximately $62,000 per month. Based on current expense levels, the Companys monthly cash operating expenses going forward will continue to be approximately $62,000 per month. In addition to the normal monthly operating expenses, the Companys committed cash requirements for the twelve months ending February 28, 2010, include $3,775 of additional web site development cost, monthly interest of $820 on its promissory note with Jeff Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company and approximately $4,800 for the renewal of existing and purchase of additional domain names. The promissory note has a balance due of $139,014 at November 30, 2009 and is payable upon demand. The Company intends to pay the balance of this note during our current fiscal year ending February 28, 2010. The Company currently relies on collection of its stock subscription receivables to fund its operations. Material terms of the outstanding subscription agreements received by the Company on August 31, 2005, for 78,376 restricted common shares and on December 30, 2005, for 4,733,333 restricted common shares at $0.75 per share (total value of $3,608,782) are as follows:
·
Payment is due in full in 60 months
·
At 24 months, the Company can demand at its option, monthly 1/36 payments on the subscription agreement.
17
·
The Company has the option to charge simple annual interest of up to 4%.
·
The Company will provide downside protection of up to 30% of the stock price upon conversion.
·
If the purchaser sells these common shares, the purchaser shall be entitled to an amount equal to 200% of the original purchase price of each share and the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds from the stock sale.
Material terms of the subscription agreements received by the Company on October 5, 2007, for 1,300,000 restricted common shares at $2.50 per share (total value of $3,250,000) are as follows:
·
The price per share of $2.50 was based on the closing price on October 4, 2007.
·
At 24 months, 1/36 payments are due monthly.
·
The Company, at its option, may call up to 1/12 of the gross receivable per month if the preceding 30 day average trading price is at or above $7.00 a share with minimum trading volume of 5,000 shares per day.
·
If the purchaser sells these common shares, the purchaser shall be entitled to an amount equal to 200% of the original purchase price of each share and the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds from the stock sale.
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. A total of 827,092 shares had been sold and transferred to the new purchasers for a total purchase price of $1,842,108, which is due to the original subscription holders. The underlying original subscription receivable due the Company for these transferred shares totaled $620,319. As of August 31, 2009, the entire $620,319 has been paid to the Company and has reduced the original investors 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 those sales. As of January 14, 2010, no payments have been received for those excess proceeds.
Due to the recent economic downturn and the market value of the Companys stock, which is currently trading at below $2.50 per share, the Company continues to evaluate the collectability of its subscription receivable pertaining to 1,300,000 shares at $2.50 per share.
As of November 30, 2009, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $4,312,963 and for the nine months ended November 30, 2009, the Company received stock subscription payments of $194,000.

The downside protection in the terms for the subscription agreements received on August 31, 2005, and December 30, 2005, requires the Company to reimburse the subscription holder up to 30% of the $.75 purchase price, or $.225, if the market price of the stock is below $.75, when converted. The protection may be provided in additional shares, if necessary. The subscription agreements do not define the term when converted. The Company has taken the position that if at the time that a purchaser pays in full for the shares under a subscription agreement and the closing price of the shares of the Companys stock is less than $.75, the shareholder would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price. Once the subscription shares have been paid for in their entirety, the downside protection ceases.
We believe our current cash reserves and amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables and selling new common stock should be sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months. In the event that we are unable to collect our future stock subscription receivables as needed, we would look to raise other types of capital or potentially 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 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 2 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:
19
Intangible Assets- Domain Names/Website Development Costs
Domain name cost is accounted for in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs. Certain modules and components of the Companys overall website development are ready for their intended use and have made the websites operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are expensed and the purchase of new domain names are capitalized. Previously, during the infrastructure development stage of its websites, the Company capitalized the purchase of new domain names and the annual domain name renewal fees. Since the ownership of each domain name can be renewed for a nominal renewal 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.
Website development costs are accounted for in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software which requires that all internal and external costs incurred to develop the internal-use software necessary to operate the websites are capitalized. Amortization will begin when an individual module or component of the overall internal-use software is ready for its intended use. The cost of such module or component will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, as determined by the Company, after taking into account the effects of obsolescence, technology, competition and other economic factors.
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
The Company records its stock-based compensation arrangements by calculating 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 Companys stock options issued have been estimated using the 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 August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. The Company adopted this guidance during the three month period ended November 30, 2009.
20
The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (SFAS 167) and SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any current impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of November 30, 2009, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13(a)-13(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded, as previously discussed in Item 9A(T) of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2009, and as a result our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of November 30, 2009, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material aspects, 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).
21
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Management continues to evaluate the Companys Internal Controls over Financial Reporting to insure that the design and implementation of corrective procedures are adequate to remediate the previously identified material weaknesses. Management also continues to analyze the cost effectiveness of adding additional corrective procedures to remediate their existing material weaknesses.
During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2009, 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.
