NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by DigitalTown, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012.
Note 2. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of Business
The Company was founded in 1982 under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Command Small Computer Learning Center, Inc., a computer training company 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 a platform to monetize the 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.
The Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. At May 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $24,460,134. The Company anticipates that existing cash, expected future proceeds from its stock subscriptions receivable, future sales of its common stock, cash generated from the sale of display advertising on its websites and additional sales of existing domain names should be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditures needs through at least May 31, 2013. 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 subsidiaries Tiger Media and The School Network, Inc. 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

DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arose from the sale of display advertising. The Company evaluates collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors including the age of the receivable or a specific customers inability to meet its financial conditions. In these circumstances, the Company records an allowance to reduce the receivable to an amount it deems collectible. The Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary as of May 31, 2012.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria have been met:
·
Persuasive evidence that an agreement exists
·
Delivery has occurred
·
The price is fixed and determinable
·
Collectability is reasonably assured
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of display advertising appearing on specific pages of individual spirit sites within DigitalTowns network. Display advertising is sold by the Company directly to local merchants and placed by the Company on specific pages of individual spirit sites targeted by the local merchant. The terms of these sales are for a fixed monthly amount for a period ranging from three months to one year. The Company has also entered into certain third party agreements which allow display advertising to be placed on individual spirit sites within DigitalTowns network. Per these agreements, the Company receives commissions based on a percentage of the per click or per-impression revenue generated by these ads. The Company recognizes these commissions received as revenue.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is comprised of contractual billings in excess of recognized revenue and payments received in advance of revenue recognition from customers for which services have not been delivered.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Website development costs are accounted for in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 350-40) 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 comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Income Taxes
Deferred 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 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 its 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 of these 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 May 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012. 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
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and consultants 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a
7
DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entitys use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the assets highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (TDR). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Note 3. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, net are as follows:
| May 31, | February 29, 2012 |
Domain names | $ 836,715 | $ 835,809 |
Website development costs | 351,457 | 351,457 |
Less accumulated amortization | (137,332) | (108,845) |
| $ 1,050,840 | $ 1,079,221 |
During the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company capitalized $1,607 in additional domain name purchases. Since the useful life of the domain names is deemed to be indefinite, no amortization has been recorded.
During the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company incurred $9,386 of annual domain name renewal fees and recorded them as prepaid domain name renewal fees and expensed $46,291 on a straight line basis, to cost of revenues in the Companys consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2012. At May 31, 2012, the Company had $128,924 of prepaid domain name renewal fees which will be amortized over future periods.
During the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company did not capitalize any additional website development costs and had a total recorded cost of $351,457 at May 31, 2012. The Company has determined that an additional $131,752 of its previously capitalized website development costs were ready for their intended use as of March 1, 2012 and has an estimated useful life of three years. At May 31, 2012, the Company has determined that $351,457 of its capitalized website development costs pertain to components of the Companys website development that is ready for its intended use and has an estimated useful life of three

years. During the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company recorded $29,288 to cost of revenues for amortization expense pertaining to these website components.
Note 4. Stockholders Equity
Stock Transactions
On March 19, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement and issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock at a per share price of $1.00, for total cash proceeds of $75,000.
On May 15, 2012, the Company issued 21,775 restricted common shares at $0.40 per share, valued at $8,710, to six directors of the Company for payment of director fees. The restricted common shares were valued based on the market price at time of issue.
Stock Warrants
As of May 31, 2012, the Company has a total of 1,092,410 stock purchase warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $4.00. The warrants expire two years from their date of issuance. The weighted average remaining exercise period as of May 31, 2012 is 0.99 years.
Other
On December 3, 2010, the Company signed a drawdown equity financing agreement (Drawdown Agreement) with Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC (Auctus). In connection with the Drawdown Agreement, in April 2011, the Company registered 3,000,000 shares of common stock with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 and at its discretion, has the right to sell up to the registered shares of 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.
·
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 May 31, 2012, this would translate into maximum ownership by Auctus of approximately 1,454,000 shares of the Companys common stock.

(unaudited)
In April 2011, the Company issued a drawdown notice to Auctus for $50,000. Auctus honored $2,108 on April 27, 2011 of the notice, but has refused to honor the balance. The Company considers Auctus to be in breach of the Drawdown Agreement.
Note 5. Stock Options
The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of May 31, 2012, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted under this plan as 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 the outstanding options range from immediate to four years from the grant date anniversary. The terms of the options range from five to ten years from the date of grant.
For the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company granted stock options to an officer/director allowing for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock. The stock option agreement has a term of 10 years and the options vest as follows: 200,000 on March 19, 2012, 100,000 on March 19, 2013, 100,000 on March 19, 2014, 100,000 on March 19, 2015 and 100,000 on March 19, 2016. 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.
For stock options granted during the three months ended May 31, 2012, we utilized the following key assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
| March 19, |
| 2012 |
Weighted-average volatility | 115% |
Expected dividends | None |
Expected term (in years) | 5 |
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | 1.20% |
Weighted-average fair value of options granted | $0.32 |
The total fair value of the stock options granted by the Company for the three months ended May 31, 2012 was $194,580.
Total stock compensation expense for all option grants was $104,268 and $70,456 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of May 31, 2012, the Company has not recorded any tax benefit from this non-cash expense due to the Company having a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The compensation expense impacted the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011basic (loss) per common share by $(0.004) and $(0.003), respectively. There remains $162,090 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over future periods through March 31, 2016.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The Company has not exercised its rights, per the 2005 subscription agreements, to demand monthly 1/36 payments or to charge up to 4.0% 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 $0.75 purchase price, or $0.225, if the market price of the stock is below $0.75 when converted. The protection may be provided in additional shares if necessary. For the three month period ended May 31, 2012, there was no downside protection provided because the stock price did not go below $0.75 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 $0.75, 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 9. 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 three month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011:

Based on current projections, the Companys monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $94,000 per month, which includes the yearly cost of the renewal of the existing domain names totaling approximately $184,000, less $121,587 prepaid at February 29, 2012, for a total due of approximately $62,500. In addition to the normal monthly operating expenses, the Companys committed cash requirements for the twelve months ending February 28, 2013, include $36,000 for development and maintenance support pertaining to their software development contract with Enable Consulting, LLC and a minimum payment of
19
$50,000 for expenses pertaining to the Companys Strategic Partnership Agreement with the NIAAA. From June 1, 2012 to July 13, 2012, the Company has received cash proceeds of $50,000 from stock subscription receivables.
As of May 31, 2012, 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 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, and 1/36 payments are due each month thereafter on the 5th of every month.
20

·
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):
A.

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.

Summary
As of May 31, 2012, the Company had stock subscription receivables of $1,249,654 and for the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company received stock subscription payments of $50,000.
The following table summarizes the stock subscription receivable, by quarter, at May 31, 2012:
Quarter Ended | Total Balance Due | Total Amount Collected | New Subscription Agreements |

The Company has not exercised its rights, per the 2005 subscription agreements, to demand monthly 1/36 payments or to charge up to 4.0% 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 $0.75 purchase price, or $0.225, if the market price of the stock is below $0.75 when converted, the protection may be provided in additional shares if necessary. The subscription agreements do not define the term when converted. The
21
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 $0.75; 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, future proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, proceeds from the sale of current domain names and cash generated from the sale of display advertising on our websites 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 raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock or sell additional domain names on acceptable terms or generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of display advertising on our websites, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of DigitalTown, Inc.s financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While DigitalTown Inc.s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to its financial statements, management believes the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Intangible Assets Domain Names/Website Development Costs
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 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 350-40) 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.
22
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 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
23
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entitys use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the assets highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (TDR). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Any statements contained herein related to future events are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. DigitalTown, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update any such statements to reflect actual events.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company has not entered into, and does not expect to enter into, financial instruments for trading or hedging purposes. The Company does not currently anticipate entering into interest rate swap and/or similar instruments. Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates, which would only impact interest income earned on such instruments. As of May 31, 2012, the Company does not have any material currency exchange or interest rate risk exposure.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of May 31, 2012, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13(a)-13(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
24
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded, as previously discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, that material weaknesses continue to exist in our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012, and as a result our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that continue to exist as of May 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Management continues to evaluate the Companys internal controls over financial reporting to insure that the design and implementation of corrective procedures are adequate to remediate the previously identified material weaknesses from our Form 10-K at February 29, 2012. Due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and the expenses associated with increases to remediate the disclosure controls and procedures that have been identified, the Company continued to operate without changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q while continuing to evaluate and improve to remediate the material weaknesses at an appropriate cost benefit basis.
During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2012, 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.
