PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
DigitalTown continues to develop its nationwide network of local on-line communities built around their domain names and the schools and communities they represent. Last fall, the Company completed the initial rollout of its new spirit sites featuring content from The Active Network, MusicSkins, WeatherBug, Bing and other providers on approximately 20,000 of their sites. The sites initially featured 2010 football schedules, scores and Active Power Rankings for high school football. With this initial rollout, the Company reached one million page/score views by the middle of November. In December, the Company launched its high school basketball coverage and in April they launched their high school lacrosse coverage, both featuring schedules, scores and Active Power Rankings.
On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a five year strategic partnership agreement with the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA). The NIAAA and DigitalTown will work together to establish a national, standardized system for recording schedules, scores, rosters and statistics for interscholastic sports teams and individual students. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has committed to pay the expenses related to this strategic partnership; however any expenses in excess of $5,000 must be preapproved by the Company. The Company has committed to deposit $50,000 for such expenses for the first fiscal year of the contract and an additional $50,000 for the second year. In addition, the Company has committed to donate 25% up to $3,000,000 of the annual net sponsorship revenue in the scheduling and stats areas of its websites to yet to be named program funds that promote youth activities and the NIAAA. Lastly, the Company has committed to a minimum revenue share of $100,000 per year with the future launch of its beta 3 software.
On April 5, 2011, the Companys registration statement, initially filed December 23, 2010, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The effective registration statement allows the Company to sell up to 3,000,000 of its shares to Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus) as part of a drawdown equity financing agreement (Drawdown Agreement) the Company signed with Auctus on December 3, 2010. Per the agreement, the Company, at its discretion, has the right to sell up to $10,000,000 of common stock to Auctus over a 36 month period per the conditions set forth in the agreement. The Company issued a drawdown notice to Auctus for $50,000. Auctus honored $2,108 of the notice, but has refused to honor the balance. The Company considers Auctus to be in breach of the drawdown agreement.
EMPLOYEES
As of February 28, 2011, DigitalTown, Inc. has three employees. The Companys employees are not represented by a union. The Company knows of no adverse labor issues with any employee.

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, 2011 and 2010 were $1,264,772 and $1,245,049 respectively and future losses are likely to occur. Our accumulated deficit at February 28, 2011 is $19,830,914. As of February 28, 2011, there exists negative working capital of $314,818. For the year ended February 28, 2011, we had negative cash flows from operations of $727,085. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to collect on our stock subscription receivables as needed, sell stock through our drawdown agreement with Auctus or raise additional capital on acceptable terms.
We may not be able to collect on our stock subscription receivables or raise capital through our drawdown agreement with Auctus as needed to fund our operations.
As of February 28, 2011, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $1,422,654 and for the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company received stock subscription payments of $771,809.
We believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables and the proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus) 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 or raise capital through our drawdown agreement with Auctus, 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 $61,000 per month.
We may need to raise additional capital to finance operations.
Funding of our operations has relied almost entirely on the collection 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 the Auctus agreement, other external sources or related parties, will be available if needed or on favorable terms. Auctus has refused to honor the entire first drawdown amount, and this financing option may not be available to us. 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.
Page 2
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 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 OTC Markets OTCQB, which may make it more difficult for investors to resell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Markets OTCQB. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCQB 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.
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 affect 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.
Page 3
Minnesota law and our charter may inhibit a takeover of our company that stockholders may consider favorable.
Provisions of Minnesota law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Our officers and directors have the ability to exercise significant influence over matters submitted for stockholder approval and their interests may differ from other stockholders.
Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, will have the ability to nominate two (2) members to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our directors and executive officers, whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our Board for approval, including issuing common and preferred stock, and appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.
Our shares may be defined as "penny stock", the rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
Shares of our common stock may be defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the SEC. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.
Market for penny stock has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
Page 4
·
Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and,
·
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the drawdown agreement.
Assuming that Auctus fulfills the terms of the drawdown agreement, the sale of our common stock to Auctus in accordance with the drawdown agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Auctus in order to drawdown on the facility. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised in connection with the drawdown agreement.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock. However, under the terms of the drawdown agreement, the number of shares Auctus is able to own at any given time is limited to 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
Auctus will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Assuming Auctus fulfills the terms of the drawdown agreement, our common stock to be issued under the drawdown agreement will be purchased at a six (6%) discount or 94% of the lowest closing volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the five trading days immediately following our notice to Auctus of our election to exercise our "put" right.
Auctus has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If Auctus sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Auctus may have a further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the drawdown agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Page 5
Auctus has entered into similar agreements with other public companies and may not have sufficient capital to meet our drawdown requests.
Auctus has entered into similar financing agreements with at least six other public companies, and those companies have all filed registration statements with the intent of registering shares to be sold to Auctus pursuant to drawdown arrangements. Three of those registration statements are effective, and three are pending. We do not know if management at any of the companies who have or will have effective registration statements intend to raise funds now or in the future, what the size or frequency of each put request would be, if floors will be used to restrict the amount of shares sold, or if the drawdown agreement will ultimately be cancelled or expire before the entire amount of shares are put to Auctus. Since we do not have any control over the requests of these other companies, if Auctus receives significant requests, it may not have the financial ability to meet our requests. If so, we may not have funds available to us under this drawdown agreement, or the amount of available funds may be significantly less than we anticipate.
Risk Factors Related to Our Securities and the Drawdown Agreement .
We registered an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the drawdown agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We registered an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the drawdown agreement. Assuming that Auctus fulfills the terms of the drawdown agreement, the sale of these shares into the public market by Auctus could depress the market price of our common stock.
We may not have access to the full amount under the drawdown agreement.
There is no assurance that the market price of our common stock will increase substantially in the near future. The entire commitment under the drawdown agreement is $10,000,000. Based on our stock price, the number of registered common shares that remains issuable could be lower than the number of registered common shares we need to issue in order to have access to the full amount under the drawdown agreement. Therefore, we may not have access to the full amount under the drawdown agreement.
The amount we can draw down may be affected by a limitation of the percentage ownership of Auctus.
Pursuant to the drawdown agreement, Auctus shall not be issued shares of the Companys common stock that would result in its beneficial ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. If the ownership of Auctus reaches that limit, we may not be able to secure any further advances from Auctus, and some of our business activities may have to be postponed or curtailed.
There may not be sufficient trading volume in our common stock to permit us to generate adequate funds.
The drawdown agreement provides that the dollar value that we will be permitted to draw from Auctus will be the higher of: (A) 200% of the average daily volume in the US market of
Page 6
the common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the drawdown notice, or (B) $150,000. If the average daily trading volume in our common stock is too low, it is possible that we would only be permitted to draw down $150,000 at a time, which may not provide adequate funding for our planned operations.
Unless an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.
Although, we are a reporting company and our common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under the symbol DGTW, there is not currently an active trading market for our common stock and an active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):
|
|
· the trading volume of our shares; |
|
|
· the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; |
|
|
· changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts; |
|
|
· new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; |
|
|
· actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; |
|
|
· general conditions or trends in our business industries; |
|
|
· announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
|
· additions or departures of key personnel; |
|
|
· sales of our common stock; and |
|
|
· general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies. |
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against the Company, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of managements attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as previously noted, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Market OTCQB and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations.
Page 7
Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

Company Overview
DigitalTown continues to develop its nationwide network of local on-line communities built around their domain names and the schools and communities they represent. Last fall, the Company completed the initial rollout of its new spirit sites featuring content from The Active Network, MusicSkins, WeatherBug, Bing and other providers on approximately 20,000 of their sites. The sites initially featured 2010 football schedules, scores and Active Power Rankings for high school football. With this initial rollout, the Company reached one million page/score views by the middle of November. In December, the Company launched its high school basketball coverage and in April they launched their high school lacrosse coverage, both featuring schedules, scores and Active Power Rankings.

On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a five year strategic partnership agreement with the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA). The NIAAA and DigitalTown will work together to establish a national, standardized system for recording schedules, scores, rosters and statistics for interscholastic sports teams and individual students. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has committed to pay the expenses related to this strategic partnership; however any expenses in excess of $5,000 must be preapproved by the Company. The Company has committed to deposit $50,000 for such expenses for the first fiscal year of the contract and an additional $50,000 for the second year. In addition, the Company has committed to donate 25% up to $3,000,000 of the annual net sponsorship revenue in the scheduling and stats areas of its websites to yet to be named program funds that promote youth activities and the NIAAA. Lastly, the Company has committed to a minimum revenue share of $100,000 per year with the future launch of its beta 3 software.
On April 5, 2011, the Companys registration statement, initially filed December 23, 2010, was declared effective by the SEC. The effective registration statement allows the Company to sell 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus) as part of the drawdown equity financing agreement the Company signed with Auctus on December 3, 2010. Per the agreement, the Company, at its discretion, has the right to sell up to $10,000,000 of common stock to Auctus over a 36 month period per the conditions set forth in the agreement. The Company issued a drawdown notice to Auctus for $50,000. Auctus honored $2,108 of the notice, but has refused to honor the balance. The Company considers Auctus to be in breach of the drawdown agreement.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2011 AND 2010
During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company recorded revenue of $18,102 and cost of revenue of $235,303 for a negative gross profit of $(217,201) compared to revenue of $7,511 and cost of revenue of $170,890 for a negative gross profit of $(163,379) from operations during the year ended February 28, 2010. The revenue for both years consisted of minimal commissions generated from advertising and merchandise sales on our websites and the cost of revenue consisted of amortization of the prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $189,871 and $159,490, domain register fees of $0 and $2,190, server/bandwidth expense of $15,831 and $4,002 and amortization of website development fees of $29,602 and $5,208 for the two comparable periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended February 28, 2011 decreased by $23,095 to $1,050,865 compared to a year ago due mainly to a decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense of $33,826 for the current year. The decrease in stock compensation expense was primarily due to longer vesting periods for the new stock option agreements granted during the current year. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $10,731 to $622,139 compared to a year ago.
The Companys overall net loss for the current year increased by $19,723 to $1,264,772.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys cash position at February 28, 2011, was $103,310, an increase of $69,132 from $34,178 at February 28, 2010. During the year ended February 28, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $727,085 compared to cash used of $691,221 for the comparable period. When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $35,864 for the year ended February 28, 2011 is primarily due to a decrease of $42,387 in accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2011 was 97,310, of which $52,230 was used for website development costs, $25,449 for purchases of property and equipment and $19,631 for the purchase of additional domain names as compared to net cash used of $25,118 for the comparable period one year ago, of which $23,349 was used for website development costs and $1,769 for the purchase of additional domain names.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2011 was $893,527 which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscription receivables of $771,809, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $122,000 and proceeds from a director and stockholder loan of $50,000 less principal payments on the loan of $50,282. For the comparable period ended February 28, 2010, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $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 a director and stockholder loan of $39,482 less principal payments on the loan of $4,879.
Monthly cash operating expenses for the year ended February 28, 2011 were approximately $61,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Companys monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $61,000 per month, which includes the yearly cost of the renewal of the existing domain names totaling approximately $174,000. In addition to the normal monthly operating expenses, the Companys committed cash requirements for the twelve months ending February 28, 2012 include $245,878 for website development costs. A promissory note with Jeff Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company, has a balance due of $137,088 at February 28, 2011 and is payable upon demand. Based on available cash proceeds, the Company intends to pay the balance of the note in fiscal year 2012. From March 1, 2011 to April 28, 2011, the Company has received cash proceeds of $115,000 from stock subscription receivables and $2,108 for the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock at $2.108 per share pertaining to our Drawdown Agreement with Auctus. In addition, the Company will continue to collect on its remaining stock subscription receivables and utilize its drawdown agreement with Auctus 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 received by the Company on December 30, 2005 for 4,733,333 restricted common shares at $0.75 per share (total value of $3,550,000) are as follows:

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 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 Companys stock, purchaser shall ultimately pay to the Company the following amount (the Purchase Price):

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, 2011 is $975,000.

New subscription agreement received on June 22, 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
Page 14
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 Companys 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, assuming that Auctus fulfills the terms of the drawdown agreement entered with the Company on December 3, 2010, we believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscription receivables and proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Auctus should be sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months. In the event that we are unable to collect our stock subscription receivables as needed or if the Company is unable to sell an adequate number of shares to meet its cash flow requirements to Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC per the drawdown equity financing agreement, 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, 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 Companys overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Companys 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
Page 15
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 350-50) 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.
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 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
Page 16
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 adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The market risk inherent in the Companys 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, 2011, 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 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 discussed below, that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011 and as a result, our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding
Page 17
the material weaknesses that existed as of February 28, 2011, 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).
Managements 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 Companys 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 companys 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 Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
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 ControlIntegrated 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, 2011. Management identified the following material weaknesses:
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 Companys financial closing and reporting functions; and
3.
Due to our small size, the Company did not maintain effective internal controls to assure proper segregation of duties as the same employee was responsible for
Page 18
initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating a 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 an amendment to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which exempts Smaller Issuers from the requirements of Section 404(b).
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2011, 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;
·
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 option grants 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 2012; 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
Page 19
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.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures:
The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Companys financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the results of their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for preparing the Companys financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee in carrying out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances.
The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the Audit Committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may supplement them as appropriate.
· |
The Committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the board and the Audit Committee, as representatives of the Companys 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 years 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 auditors performance of non-audit services is compatible with the auditors 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 |
Page 28
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 Companys 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 likely be negotiated with independent parties, in each case where such arrangements or transactions are relevant to an understanding of the Companys financial statements. |

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2011 AND 2010
Page 32
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. (the Company) as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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 Companys 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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010
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 Companys 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.
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).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and loan from a director. 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, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.

DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010
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 350-50) guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs. Certain modules and components of the Companys overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Companys 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 350-50) 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.
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
Deferred tax assets (net of any valuation allowance) and liabilities resulting from temporary differences, net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards are recorded using an asset-and-liability
Page 39
DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010
method. Deferred taxes relating to temporary differences and loss carry-forwards are measured using the tax rate expected to be in effect when they are reversed or are realized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be ultimately realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related future benefits.
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Companys adoption on March 1, 2009 of the provisions specifically related to uncertain tax positions resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at February 28, 2010 and 2011. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, interest related to the underpayment of income taxes will be classified as a component of interest expense and any related penalties will be classified in operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company has three open years of tax returns subject to examination.
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, 2011 and 2010, 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 and currently have unlimited insurance coverage. At February 28, 2011, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising expense during the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Management Plans Regarding Liquidity
The Company has sustained reoccurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At February 28, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $19,830,914. Subsequent to February 28, 2011, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling approximately $115,000 from its stock subscription receivable. The Company anticipates that existing cash, stock subscription proceeds received to date, expected future proceeds from its stock subscription 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, 2012. 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.

During the twelve months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company capitalized $19,631 and $1,769, 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $172,977 and $214,314, respectively, of annual domain name renewal fees and has expensed $189,871 and $159,489, respectively, to cost of revenues on a straight line basis and has recorded $37,931 and $54,825, respectively, as prepaid expense as of February 28, 2011 and 2010.
During the twelve months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company capitalized $298,108 and $23,349, respectively, of website development costs and has determined that $196,356 and $23,349, respectively, of 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $29,602 and $5,208, respectively, of website development amortization expense pertaining to this component to cost of revenues in the Companys consolidated statement of operations.

Other
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 and granted a five-year warrant of the Company's common stock equal to 10% of the shares of common stock sold. In February 2010, the Company paid the investment banker an advance of $20,000 consisting of $15,000 as a retainer to be applied against any potential commission earned and $5,000 as an advance on expenses. On November 12, 2010, the Company had not received any proceeds from the sale of common stock related to this agreement and thus ended its agreement with the investment banker and signed a drawdown equity financing agreement (Drawdown Agreement) with an institutional investor on December 3, 2010.
The drawdown agreement was entered into with Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus). In connection with the drawdown agreement, the Company registered 3,000,000 shares of common stock (Note 15) and at its discretion, has the right to sell common stock to Auctus over a thirty six month period for maximum aggregated consideration of up to $10,000,000, subject to the following terms and conditions.
Page 44

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010
·
The maximum advance amount available to the Company is limited to the greater of $150,000 or 200% of the average daily volume based on the 10 days preceding the Companys notice requesting a draw.
·
Auctus purchase price per common share will be 94% of the lowest closing volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Companys common stock during the five trading days immediately following the Companys delivery of notice to Auctus.
·
At its option, the Company can establish a floor price under which Auctus may not sell the shares. The floor price shall be 75% of the closing VWAP for the 10 days prior to the notice requesting a draw. Auctus must cease selling any shares purchased in connection with the Drawdown Agreement if the price falls below the established floor price. The Company, at its discretion, may waive the floor price and allow Auctus to sell its shares below the floor price.
·
In no event can the number of shares owned by Auctus exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Companys common stock. As of February 28, 2011, this would translate into maximum ownership by Auctus of approximately 1,400,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
The Company issued a drawdown notice to Auctus for $50,000. Auctus honored $2,108 of the notice, but has refused to honor the balance. The Company considers Auctus to be in breach of the Drawdown Agreement.
Note 7. Stock Options
The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of February 28, 2011, 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. The potential vesting terms of the outstanding options range from immediate to two years from the grant date anniversary and the term of the options is 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 statements of operations based on their grant date fair values. The fair value of the Companys stock options have been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which 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 Companys consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $428,726 and $462,552 for all outstanding options for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, 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 both the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 by $(0.02). As of February 28, 2011, there remains $388,530 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over future periods through November 30, 2012.

(2)
New subscription agreement received on June 22, 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. For the twelve month period ended February 28, 2011, 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 makes a payment in full for the shares under a subscription agreement and the closing price of the shares of the Companys stock is less than $.75, the shareholder would be entitled to up to 30% additional shares, depending on the trading share price. Once the subscription shares have been paid for in their entirety, the downside protection ceases.

On April 5, 2011, the Companys registration statement, initially filed December 23, 2010, was declared effective by the SEC. The effective registration statement allows the Company to sell up to 3,000,000 of its shares to Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus) as part of the drawdown equity financing agreement the Company signed with Auctus on December 3, 2010 (Note 6).
