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 May 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,741,047. Subsequent to May 31, 2009, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately $35,000 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 May 31, 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
(unaudited)
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 does not currently generate revenue from its operations.
Intangible Assets Domain Names/Website Development Costs
The Company is in the development stage of its website portal, and accordingly, all website development costs have been capitalized. Since the ownership of each domain name 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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, as clarified by FIN No. 48, which requires 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
5

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
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 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 follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, for recording its stock-based compensation arrangements. 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 Companys 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 months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
As of May 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had stock options outstanding of 4,248,000 and 3,874,292, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to be also required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending August 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirement of these additional disclosures.

Intangible assets are as follows:
|

- |
- |
|
$ 823,385 |
$ 810,267 |
Since the useful life of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite, no amortization has been recorded.
During the three months ended May 31, 2009, the Company incurred $142,752 for domain name annual license renewals and $4,819 in additional domain name purchases. The Company recorded the $142,752 for domain name annual license renewals as a prepaid expense and will be amortized over future periods.
During the three months ended May 31, 2009, the Company capitalized $8,299 of website development costs. Amortization of capitalized website development costs will begin once the websites are activated for revenue generation.
Note 4. Stockholders Equity
Stock Transactions
On May 20, 2009, the Company issued 3,000 restricted common shares at $2.00 per share, valued at $6,000, to four directors of the Company for payment of director fees.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements and issued 188,334 units (each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share) at a price of $1.50 per share, for total cash proceeds of $282,500.
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
7
DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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 July 15, 2009, no payments have been received and the Company has not recorded the $300,735 in the stock subscription receivable balance at May 31, 2009. The Company will record those future cash receipts to Additional Paid in Capital when received.
Note 5. Stock Options
The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of May 31, 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 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). For the three months ended May 31, 2009, the Company granted stock options to one employee and one consultant allowing for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock, with a weighted-average-grant-date fair value of $1.27. Total stock compensation expense for all option grants was $230,306 and $721,814 for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of May 31, 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 months ended May 31, 2009, and 2008, basic loss per common share by $0.008 and $0.027, respectively. There remains $748,874 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over future periods through May 31, 2012.

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. 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, the closing price of the shares of the Companys stock are less than $.75, the shareholder would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price.

Company Overview
DigitalTown, Inc. (the Company) launched on-line content and news hubs for over 14,000 of their approximately 27,000 high school websites on June 9, 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.

The website will be focused on promoting musical contestants who will be able to post their songs and videos online. They will compete for prizes aimed at furthering their musical careers as well as benefiting the school. The project will commence later in the 2009/2010 school year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2009 and 2008
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the most current three months decreased by $483,598 to $419,713 compared to a year ago due to a non-cash decrease in stock compensation expense of $491,508 for the most current three months. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $189,407 for the three months ended May 31, 2009, compared to $181,497 for the three months ended May 31, 2008. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $7,910 for the two comparable quarters was primarily due to increases in professional fees of $17,987 and compensation expense of $12,742 and decreases in travel and entertainment of $10,633, real estate tax of $6,182 and benefits cost of $3,109. The Companys overall net loss for the current three months decreased by $485,049 to $419,954.
11
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2009
The Companys cash position at May 31, 2009, was $40,895, a decrease of $3,019 from $43,914 at February 28, 2009. During the three months ended May 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $341,828 compared to cash used of $137,417 for the comparable period. The difference between the two comparable periods was due mainly to $142,752 of prepaid expense pertaining to annual domain name renewal fees for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and a reduction of other receivables pertaining to the collection of a $70,000 deposit and the payment of $11,156 of accrued interest for the three months ended May 31, 2008,. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2009, was $13,118 which was used for the purchase of additional domain names and website development costs as compared to net cash used of $148,522 for the comparable period. The decrease during the current period was due mainly to expensing $142,752 of the annual domain name renewal fees instead of capitalizing the renewal costs as was done in the previous year. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2009, was $351,927 which consisted of $282,500 of proceeds from the issuance of stock, proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $39,482 less principal payments on the loan of $55 and payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $30,000. For the comparable period of the three months ended May 31, 2008, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $256,633 which consisted of proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $145,000 and payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $111,633.
Monthly cash operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2009, were approximately $61,000 per month. Based on current expense levels, the Companys monthly cash operating expenses going forward will 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 $7,500 of additional web site development cost, monthly interest of $770 on its promissory note with Jeff Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company and approximately $62,500 for the renewal of existing and purchase of additional domain names. The promissory note has a balance due of $142,194 at May 31, 2009 and is payable upon demand. The Company intends to pay the balance of the 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.
·
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:
12
·
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 May 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 July 14, 2009, no payments have been received for those excess proceeds. The Company will record future cash receipts as Additional Paid-In Capital when received.
As of May 31, 2009, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $4,476,963 and for the three months ended May 31, 2009, the Company received stock subscription payments of $30,000. The following table summarizes the stock subscription receivable, by quarter, since February 29, 2008:

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. 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
13
subscription agreement, the closing price of the shares of the Companys stock are less than $.75, the shareholder would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price.
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. In the event that we are unable to collect our future stock subscription receivables as needed, 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 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:
Intangible Assets- Domain Names/Website Development Costs
The Company is in the development stage of its website portal, and accordingly, all website development costs have been capitalized. Since the ownership of each domain name 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. We anticipate starting to amortize the website costs during our fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2009.
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 follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, for recording its stock-based compensation arrangements. 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 Companys stock options issued under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) have been estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model,
14
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 April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to be also required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending August 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirement of these additional disclosures.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Any statements contained herein related to future events are forward-looking statements. 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is set forth below and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources. As of May 31, 2009, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet investments or hedging investments.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2009, and as a result our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of May 31, 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
15
and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(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 May 31, 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.
