PART I


ITEM 1.   BUSINESS


GENERAL


DigitalTown owns the domain names for approximately 27,000 high school spirit sites throughout the United States.  The domain names include the name of the school and their mascot (i.e. www.pasadenabulldogs.com) and the majority of the domain names are in the .com format.  The Company is currently creating a nationwide network of local communities built around these domain names, and the schools and communities they represent.


On September 29, 2009, the Company signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with The Active Network Inc. (Active) covering a range of content, technology and business services.  The companies (Active and DigitalTown) intend to leverage Active’s extensive data and applications suite to leverage DigitalTown’s unique portfolio of 27,000 URL’s 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 DigitalTown’s 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.


DigitalTown, completed its nationwide rollout of nearly 27,000 high school spirit content websites in December 2009, which represents the first phase of the Company’s 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 school’s 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.


On February 3, 2010, the Company signed a Contractor Services Agreement with Active to perform certain development services.  The specific services will be defined in Statements of Work (SOW), which will be entered into from time to time between the two parties.


·

On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into its first SOW with Active to perform software development services consisting of engaging an independent third party consultant to perform a software technology platform analysis of existing software and supporting technologies in order to evaluate DigitalTown’s software development strategy.


·

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a SOW with Active to provide systems design services for the creation of a new database integrating certain Active data with DigitalTown’s database.

·

On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a SOW with Active to provide systems development services to build the system that will integrate certain Active data with DigitalTown’s database.

  

·

On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a SOW with Active to provide systems design services for the creation of a user interface for a call center sales system integrating DigitalTown’s database with Active’s self-serve ad system allowing ads to be targeted to specific DigitalTown spirit sites.  This will allow advertisers to choose single or multiple sites to cover geographic areas, including sub categories by team sport, conference or other interest area.  With 27,000 spirit sites covering the United States, national advertisers will be able to run both local and nationwide advertising campaigns together.

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 and operated under several different names in the computer hardware and training sector. In 2005, the Company began acquiring domain names.  On March 1, 2007, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. and began developing a business plan to develop their platform and monetize their domain names. The Company’s headquarters are located at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337, and its telephone and facsimile numbers are (952) 890-2362 and (952) 890-7451, respectively. The Company's Internet address is www.digitaltown.com.   The company is traded in the over-the- counter market under the ticker DGTW.

EMPLOYEES


As of May 28, 2010, DigitalTown, Inc. has four employees.  The Company’s employees are not represented by a union.  The Company considers its relations with its employees to be outstanding.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock.  If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed.  In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS


We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future


We have historically lost money.  The losses for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 were $1,245,049 and $2,964,062 respectively and future losses are likely to occur.  Our accumulated deficit at February 28, 2010 is $18,566,142. As of February 28, 2010, there exists negative working capital of $123,065. For the year ended February 28, 2010, we had negative cash flows from operations of $691,221. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to collect on our stock subscription receivables as needed or raise additional capital on acceptable terms.




Page | 2





We May Not Be Able To Collect On Our Stock Subscription Receivables As Needed To Fund Our Operations


As of February 28, 2010, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $1,894,463 and for the year ended February 28, 2010, the Company received stock subscription payments of $337,500.


On February 25, 2010, due to the recent economic downturn and the market value of the Company’s stock, which was trading below $2.50 per share, the Company amended the initial pricing terms of the subscription agreements received on October 5, 2007 for 1,300,000 shares.  The amendment decreased the amount due per share from $2.50 to $0.75 and as a result, the Company’s subscription receivable decreased $2,275,000 from $4,169,463 to $1,894,463.


Additionally, as of February 28, 2010, the Company cancelled the final pricing terms on their 2005 subscription agreements, which had entitled the Company to receive 50% of the additional net sales proceeds, after the initial purchaser received 200% of the purchase price. As a result, the Company is no longer owed $300,735 for their share of these additional proceeds from sales that occurred during the period from May 2007 to September 2007.


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.

No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.  Our current monthly cash operating expenses are 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 May Need to Raise Additional Capital to Finance Operations


Funding of our operations has relied almost entirely on the collections of outstanding subscription receivables.  We will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future development, design and launching of our websites.  We cannot assure you that financing, whether from external sources or related parties, will be available if needed or on favorable terms.  The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.  Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations.  Any of these events would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.


Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly


There has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop.  As a result, this could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all.  Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance.  In addition, we believe that



Page | 3





factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.


Our Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which May Make it More Difficult For Investors to Resell Their Shares Due to Suitability Requirements


Our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks, given that the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risks to investors are greater.  These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors.  This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.  This could cause our stock price to decline.  It is the Company’s desire to have its common stock traded on a national exchange.


We Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel


Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of Richard Pomije, our Chairman, CEO and Secretary/Treasurer.  We cannot assure you that we would be able to find an appropriate replacement for him or any other key personnel.  Any loss or interruption of our key personnel's services could adversely affect our ability to develop our business plan.  We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Pomije nor do we presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on him.


We Could Fail to Renew our Domain Names on a Timely Basis


Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued renewal of our domain names on a timely basis.  In order to retain the rights to our domain names, they need to be renewed on an annual basis by paying the annual renewal fee within a specified time period.  If the domain names are not renewed within the specified time period, they become available to the general public and the rights could be obtained by any outside third party if they paid the annual renewal fee.  Any loss of rights in our domain names could adversely effect our ability to develop our business plan.  The Company does have controls and procedures in place to ensure that all domain names are renewed in a timely manner.


Minnesota Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable


Provisions of Minnesota law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.  As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.


Our Officers and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Matters Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ From Other Stockholders


Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, will have the ability to nominate two (2) members to the Board of Directors.  Accordingly, our directors and executive officers,



Page | 4





whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our Board for approval, including issuing common and preferred stock, and appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control.  The interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.


Our Common Stock Price May be Volatile

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.  The price of the common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance.  These factors include the following:


·

Price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

·

Volatility resulting from trading in derivative securities related to our common stock including puts, calls, long-term equity anticipation securities, or leaps, or short trading positions;

·

Actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results or changes in the expectations of securities analysts;

·

General economic conditions and trends;

·

Loss of a major funding source; or

·

Departures of key personnel


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES


DigitalTown, Inc. leases from Jeff Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company, approximately 2,650 square feet of space used for offices at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, Minnesota at a monthly rent of $2,650 for a five year term which commenced on December 16, 2006.  The Company has the option to renew for an additional term of one year at a monthly rent of $3,650.  The future rent obligations of this lease as of February 28, 2010 totaled $56,975.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

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 February 3, 2010, the Company signed a Contractor Services Agreement with Active to perform certain development services.  The specific services will be defined in Statements of Work (SOW) which will be entered into from time to time between the two parties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND 2009


During the year ended February 28, 2010, the Company recorded revenue of $7,511 and cost of revenue of $170,890 for a negative gross profit of $(163,379) compared to no revenue from operations during the year ended February 28, 2009.  The revenue consisted of minimal commissions generated from advertising and merchandise sales on our websites and the cost



Page | 8





of revenue consisted of amortization of the prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $159,490, domain register fees of $2,190, server/bandwidth expense of $4,002 and amortization of website development fees of $5,208.


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended February 28, 2010 decreased by $1,884,109 to $1,073,960 compared to a year ago due mainly to a decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense of $1,860,383 for the current year.  The decrease in stock compensation expense was primarily due to the Company granting fewer new stock option agreements and the reversal of previously recorded stock compensation expense of $235,482 for the year ended February 28, 2009 due to forfeitures.  The $235,482 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 $611,408 for the year ended February 28, 2010, compared to $635,134 for the year ended February 28, 2009.  The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $23,726 for the two comparable periods was primarily due to decreases in professional fees of $72,211 and travel and entertainment of $11,731 partially offset by an increase in salary expense of $40,638, legal fees of $11,797 and administrative fees of $5,750.


The Company’s overall net loss for the current year decreased by $1,719,013 to $1,245,049.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company’s cash position at February 28, 2010, was $34,178, a decrease of $9,736 from $43,914 at February 28, 2009.  During the year ended February 28, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $691,221 compared to cash used of $663,263 for the comparable period.  When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $27,958 for the year ended February 28, 2010 is primarily due to expensing domain name renewal fees of $159,489 versus capitalizing them a year ago.  This increase in operating costs was partially offset by non-cash and deferred salary payments of $93,262 to our CEO.


Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2010 was $25,118, of which $23,349 was used for website development costs and $1,769 for the purchase of additional domain names as compared to net cash used of $207,796, of which $204,360 was used for annual domain name renewal fees, $3,713 for the purchase of additional domain names and $167 used for purchase of fixed assets offset with $444 of proceeds from the sale of an 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 versus a capitalized cost for the year ended February 28, 2009.  


Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2010 was $706,603 which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $337,500, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $334,500 and proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $39,482 less principal payments on the loan of $4,879.  For the comparable period ended February 28, 2009, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $847,812 which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $523,832, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $114,073, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $107,140 and proceeds from director/stockholder loan of $145,000 less principal payments on the loan of $42,233.

Monthly cash operating expenses for the year ended February 28, 2010 were approximately $58,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $59,000 per month, which includes the yearly cost of the renewal of the existing domain names totaling $174,000.  In addition to the normal monthly operating expenses, the Company’s committed cash requirements for the twelve months ending February 28, 2011 include $7,500 for system design services. A promissory note with Jeff Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company, has a balance due of $137,370 at February 28, 2010 and is payable upon demand.  The Company intends to pay the balance of the note in fiscal year 2011.  From March 1, 2010 to May 28, 2010, the Company has received cash proceeds of $358,950 from stock subscription receivables and $10,000 for the issuance of 6,667 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share.  In addition, the Company will also continue to collect on its remaining stock subscription receivables to fund its operations.  


As of February 28, 2010, the Company has the following stock subscription agreements outstanding:


2005 Agreements


Material terms of the subscription agreements, after the cancellation of the final pricing terms (see note 5), 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.


The outstanding balance owed on the 2005 subscription agreements at February 28, 2010 is $919,463.


2007 Agreements


On October 5, 2007, the Company received subscriptions for 1,300,000 restricted common shares at $2.50 per share (total value of $3,250,000).  Significant terms of the original subscription agreement 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.

On February 25, 2010, due to the recent economic downturn and the market value of the Company’s stock, which was trading below $2.50 per share, the Company amended the pricing terms of the subscription agreements received by the Company on October 5, 2007.  The amendment changed the following significant terms of the subscription agreement:


The parties agree that the initial pricing terms in the Confidential Binding Term Sheet dated October 5, 2007 of the Agreement will be amended to state as follows:


1.

The Subscriber offers to purchase shares of the Company for $0.75 per share.  After the price adjustment, the revised total value of this subscription agreement is $975,000.


The following other provisions of the initial pricing and final pricing terms in the Confidential Binding Term Sheet dated October 5, 2007 of the Agreement will be deleted, and are not enforceable by either party:


·

Beginning October 5, 2009, 1/36 payments are due each month thereafter on the 5th of every month.

·

The Company at its option may call up to 1/12 of the (gross) receivable note per month if the preceding 30 day average trading price is at or above $7.00 a share.  Minimum trading Volume must be 5,000 shares a day.

·

As total consideration for the purchase and sale of the Company’s stock, purchaser shall ultimately pay to the Company the following amount (the “Purchase Price”):

A.

Purchaser shall first be entitled to an amount equal to 200% of the face amount of each share.

B.

After the purchaser receives the amount in A above, the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds of the stock.  Net sales proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds received from the sale of the stock, less reasonable brokerage commissions.

C.

Final adjusted net sales proceeds will be wired to the Company within 7 days from the final settlement of the sale of stock sold.


The outstanding balance owed on the revised 2007 subscription agreements at February 28, 2010 is $975,000.


Summary


As noted above, the Company cancelled the terms relating to future sales by the purchasers, therefore, as of February 28, 2010, the Company is no longer owed the $300,735 for their share of the additional proceeds from these sales.  There was no accounting required for this transaction, because the amount owed to the Company was never recorded.


As of February 28, 2010, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $1,894,463 and for the twelve months ended February 28, 2010, the Company received stock subscription payments of $337,500.


The following table summarizes the stock subscription receivable, by quarter, for the twelve months ended February 28, 2010:

The participatory right terms of the original subscription agreements were cancelled on February 25, 2010.


The Company has not exercised its rights, per the 2005 subscription agreements, to demand monthly 1/36 payments or to charge up to 4% interest on the subscription amounts outstanding and they have provided no “downside protection” to the subscribers.  The “downside protection” in the terms for the 2005 subscription agreements 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 Company’s stock is less than $.75; the shareholder then would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price.


In summary, we believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables and the cash received from our stock issuance in May 2010 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.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.


Critical Accounting Policies


The discussion and analysis of DigitalTown, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations are based on our audited 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,



Page | 12





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


Domain name costs are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 350-30) guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs.  Certain modules and components of the Company’s overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Company’s resulting websites  are currently operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are currently being amortized over one year 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 (ASC 350-30) 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 be capitalized.  The guidance further states, amortization should 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 on a straight-line basis 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.  


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company recognizes the cost of stock-based compensation plans and awards in operations on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of the awards.  The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The compensation expense for the Company's stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant.

 



Page | 13





The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. These option pricing models involve a number of assumptions, including the expected lives of stock options, the volatility of the public market price for the Company's common stock and interest rates. The Company is using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair- value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.


ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


The market risk inherent in the Company’s financial statements and in its financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates.  This risk is low as the Company has very limited debt and has no third-party debt.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


1.

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 February 28, 2010, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 SEC’s 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 discussed below, that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010 and as a result, our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective.  Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of February 28, 2010, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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”).


 Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a15-(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Page | 15





 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010.   Management identified the following material weaknesses which were previously identified last year:


1.

Management did not maintain effective internal controls relating to the quarter end closing and financial reporting process in adequately preparing account reconciliations pertaining to stock option activity;

2.

The Company has insufficient internal personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise within the Company’s financial closing and reporting functions; and

3.

Due to our small size, the Company did not maintain effective internal controls to assure segregation as the same employee was responsible for initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness;


This annual filing does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual filing.


Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting


During the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2010, 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.


Remediation


In response to the material weaknesses in our internal controls noted above, we have formalized the following corrective procedures to remediate them;


Material weakness #1, #2 and #3;

·

Apply a more rigorous review of the quarterly close processes by the CFO to ensure that the performance of the control is evidenced through appropriate documentation which is consistently maintained;



Additional controls for material weakness #1;

·

Reconciliation of internal stock option register with new options expensed on a quarterly basis;



Page | 16





·

Review of new stock option agreements with CEO and Chairman on a quarterly basis;

·

All new stock option agreements will be sequentially numbered; and

·

All new stock options granted will be documented in the board minutes including grantee, date of grant, number of options granted, exercise price, vesting terms, and length of agreement.


With the implementation of these corrective actions, we believe that the previously reported material weaknesses will be remediated by the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year 2011; however such procedures will not be tested until our first quarter close.


Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls


The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

The amounts shown are the aggregate grant date fair values of these awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance now codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) FASB ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly under FASB Statement No. 123(R)). The assumptions and methodologies used to calculate these amounts are discussed in Note 6 in the Notes to Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. The SEC’s disclosure rules previously required that we present stock award and option award information for 2009 based on the amount recognized during the corresponding year for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to these awards (which meant, in effect, that in any given year we could recognize for financial statement reporting purposes amounts with respect to grants made in that year as well as with respect to grants from past years that vested in or were still vesting during that year). However, recent changes in the SEC’s disclosure rules require that we now present the stock award and option award amounts in the applicable columns in the table above with respect to 2009 on a similar basis as the 2010 presentation using the grant date fair value of the awards granted during the corresponding year, regardless of the period over which the awards are scheduled to vest. Since this requirement differs from the SEC’s past disclosure rules, the amounts reported in the table above for stock awards and option awards for 2009 differ from the amounts previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table for that year. As a result, to the extent applicable, each named executive officer’s total compensation amount for 2009 may differ from the amount previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table for that year.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures:


The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the results of their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee in carrying out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances.




Page | 24





The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the Audit Committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may supplement them as appropriate.


·

The Committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the board and the Audit Committee, as representatives of the Company’s stockholders. The Committee shall have the ultimate authority for and responsibility to evaluate and annually recommend the selection, retention, and, where appropriate, the replacement of the independent auditors. The Committee shall review and approve the performance by the independent auditors of any non-audit-related service if the fees for such service are projected to exceed 15% of the most recently completed fiscal year’s combined audit fees and audit-related service fees. The Committee shall review and discuss with the auditors their independence from management and the Company and the matters included in the written disclosures required by professional independence standards applicable to the independent auditors. Annually, the Committee shall review and assess whether the independent auditor’s performance of non-audit services is compatible with the auditor’s independence. In addition, the Audit Committee shall review any candidate for the senior accounting and/or financial executive position prior to his or her appointment by the Company.


·

The Committee shall review and discuss with the independent auditors and with the head of the Company’s finance department the overall scope and plans for the audits. Also, the Committee shall discuss with management and the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls, including the Company’s system to monitor and manage business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs. Further, the Committee shall meet separately with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their respective audit procedures.


·

The Committee shall review and discuss the results of the quarterly review and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards. The chair of the Committee may represent the entire Committee for the purpose of this review.


·

The Committee shall review and discuss with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, including their judgment about the quality, not just the acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the basis and appropriateness of any change in significant accounting policies and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. Also, the Committee shall review and discuss the results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be communicated to the Committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards.


·

The Committee shall review and discuss with management and the independent auditors any material financial or non-financial arrangements of the Company which do not appear in the financial statements of the Company and any transactions or courses of dealing with parties related to the Company which transactions are significant in size or involve terms or other aspects that differ from those that would

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND 2009















Page | 28






REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

DigitalTown, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DigitalTown, Inc. as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DigitalTown, Inc. as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2010 and 2009



Note 1. 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 and operated under several different names in the computer hardware and training sector. In 2005, the Company began acquiring domain names.  On March 1, 2007, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. and began developing a business plan to develop their platform and monetize their domain names. The Company’s headquarters are located at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337, and its telephone and facsimile numbers are (952) 890-2362 and (952) 890-7451, respectively. The Company's Internet address is www.digitaltown.com.   The company is traded in the over-the- counter market under the ticker DGTW.

The Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future.  At February 28, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,566,142.  Subsequent to February 28, 2010, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately $358,950 from its stock subscription receivable.  The Company anticipates that existing cash, stock subscription proceeds received to date, expected future proceeds from its stock subscription receivable and any additional financing needed through the sale of its common stock or other equity-based securities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditures needs through at least February 28, 2011.  In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital in the future, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.


Principles of Consolidation


The Company files consolidated financial statements that include its 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”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2010 and 2009



Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and note payable.  The Company considers the carrying value of its financial instruments in the financial statements to approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  As of February 28, 2010, the Company had no cash equivalents.


Intangible Assets – Domain Names/Website Development Costs


Domain name costs are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 350-30) guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs.  Certain modules and components of the Company’s overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Company’s resulting websites  are currently operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are currently being amortized over one year and the purchase of any new domain names are the only amounts being 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. Additionally, 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 (ASC 350-30) 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 be capitalized.  The guidance further states, amortization should 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 on a straight-line basis 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2010 and 2009



 Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three 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.


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 has three open years of tax returns subject to examination.

 

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 and Warrants


The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of the awards.  The compensation expense for the Company's stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.


The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This option pricing model involves a number of assumptions, including the expected lives of stock options, the volatility of the public market price for the Company's common stock and interest rates.


Comprehensive Income (Loss)


Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include such items as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on certain marketable securities. For the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no items defined as other comprehensive income (loss).

Cash Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to $250,000.  At February 28, 2010, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.


Advertising


Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  The Company did not incur any advertising expense during the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair- value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

During the twelve months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized $1,769 and $3,713, respectively, of additional domain name purchases.  Since the useful life of the domain names is deemed to be indefinite, no amortization has been recorded.


During the twelve months ended February 28, 2010, the Company incurred $214,314 of annual domain name renewal fees and has expensed $159,489 to cost of revenues on a straight line basis and has recorded the remaining $54,825 as prepaid expense as of February 28, 2010. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2009, the Company was still in the development stage of its websites and had capitalized $204,360 of annual domain name renewal fees and thus no cost of revenue or prepaid expense was recorded.


During the twelve months ended February 28, 2010, the Company capitalized $23,349 of website development costs.  The Company has determined that these costs pertain to a component that is ready for its intended use and have an estimated useful life of three years.  During the twelve months ended February 28, 2010, the Company recorded $5,208 of website development amortization expense pertaining to this component to cost of revenues in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

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 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 2005 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%.  As of February 28, 2010, no payments have been received and the Company’s $300,735 share of the proceeds from these sales has not been recorded in the stock subscription receivable balance.


On February 28, 2010, the Company cancelled the Final Pricing terms of the subscription agreements received by the Company on August 31, 2005 and December 30, 2005 pertaining to these sales.  The following terms of the agreements were cancelled:


·

After the purchaser receives 200% of the purchase price, the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds of the stock.  Net sales proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds received from the sale of the stock, less reasonable brokerage commissions.


·

Final adjusted net sales proceeds will be wired to the Company within 7 days from the date of the final settlement of the sale of stock from the conversion of all of the outstanding debentures.


Therefore, as of February 28, 2010, the Company is no longer owed the $300,735 for their share of the additional proceeds from these sales.

In February 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment banker to promote and sell shares of common stock to accredited and institutional investors.  In conjunction with the potential sale of shares of common stock, the investment banker will receive a 10% commission, be reimbursed for expenses, granted five-year warrants of the Company's common stock equal to 10% of the shares of common stock sold.  As of May 28, 2010, the Company has not received any proceeds from the sales of shares of common stock associated with this agreement.  In February 2010, the Company paid the investment banker $20,000 as an advance on expenses and any potential commission earned.  The Company has recorded the advance as a prepaid expense as of February 28, 2010.


Note 6. Stock Options


The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of February 28, 2010, 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 two to five years from the date of grant.


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 consolidated statement of operations based on their grant date fair values.  The fair value of the Company’s stock options have been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which requires assumptions as to expected dividends the options expected life, volatility and risk-free interest rate at the time of the grant.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.


For stock options granted during the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, we utilized the following key assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $462,552 and $2,322,935 for all outstanding options for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense. There was no tax benefit from recording this non-cash expense due to the Company having a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset. The compensation expense impacted the basic loss per common share for the years ended February 28, 2010

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 on March 1, 2008. As of the date of adoption, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company had recognized no interest or penalties upon the adoption of this standard.

 

At February 28, 2010, the Company has no uncertain tax positions or associated interest and penalties. The Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax positions within twelve months of this reporting date.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. Federal and Minnesota state income tax.  However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss or credit carryforward amount.

 

The Company is not currently under Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or Minnesota tax examinations.

On October 5, 2007, the Company received subscriptions for 1,300,000 restricted common shares at $2.50 per share (total value of $3,250,000).  Significant terms of the original subscription agreement are as follows:

·

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.


On February 25, 2010, due to the recent economic downturn and the market value decline of the Company’s stock, which was trading below $2.50 per share, the Company amended the pricing terms of the subscription agreements received by the Company on October 5, 2007.  The amendment changed the following significant terms of the subscription agreement:


The parties agree that the Initial Pricing terms in the Confidential Binding Term Sheet dated October 5, 2007 of the Agreement will be amended to state as follows:


1.

The Subscriber offers to purchase shares of the Company for $0.75 per share.  After the price adjustment, the revised total value of this subscription agreement is $975,000.


The following other provisions of the Initial Pricing and Final Pricing terms in the Confidential Binding Term Sheet dated October 5, 2007 of the Agreement will be deleted, and are not enforceable by either party:


·

Beginning October 5, 2009, 1/36 payments are due each month thereafter on the 5th of every month.

·

The Company at its option may call up to 1/12 of the (gross) receivable note per month if the preceding 30 day average trading price is at or above $7.00 a share.  Minimum trading Volume must be 5,000 shares a day.

·

As total consideration for the purchase and sale of the Company’s stock, purchaser shall ultimately pay to the Company the following amount (the “Purchase Price”):

B.

After the purchaser receives the amount in A above, the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds of the stock.  Net sales proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds received from the sale of the stock, less reasonable brokerage commissions.

C.

Final adjusted net sales proceeds will be wired to the Company within 7 days from the final settlement of the sale of stock sold.


The outstanding balance owed on the revised 2007 subscription agreements at February 28, 2010 is $975,000.

(1)

Amendment to the terms of the subscription agreements received by the Company on October 5, 2007 for 1,300,000 restricted common shares reducing the price paid per share from $2.50 to $0.75.


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 twelve month period ended February 28, 2010, 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 Company’s 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.


Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The Company computes earnings per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.


The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009:
