PART I


ITEM 1.   BUSINESS


GENERAL


DigitalTown, Inc. (DigitalTown or the Company) owns and operates a nationwide network of hyper-local online communities.  The Company’s emphasis is on the development of a network of high school sports websites.


The Company’s core asset is a portfolio of 21,547 domains matching the largest high schools in the United States.  The portfolio corresponds to a standard pattern of school and mascot names, e.g., from AbbevilleGenerals.com to ZwolleHawks.com.


The Company aims to create and operate the leading direct to consumer online media network for high school sports.


Market Opportunity


In the U.S., sports media is a large business with professional sports leading the way.  According to Forbes’ 2015 report, Major League Baseball (MLB) teams have risen to a record valuation of $36 billion while the National Football League (NFL) teams have risen to a value of $45 billion. National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Soccer (MLS) and other leagues are further examples of the business of professional sports.


By the same token, college sports, which produce vastly more sporting events per year relative to professional sports, have also become a large business. In 2012, ESPN agreed to a $7.3 billion contract to televise college football playoffs, validating the large and growing value of college sports. While the true value of college sports franchises has not been appraised, it is conceivable that due to the large number of college sports franchises, the total value of the college sports franchises may even exceed that of the professional leagues.


Unlike professional leagues and college leagues, high school sports remain relatively undeveloped both as media assets and as brands. The number of high school sports participants far exceeds the number of participants in college sports with many high school athletes growing to national prominence even in the absence of regular mainstream sports media coverage.


According to the National High School Center, the number of enrolled high school students in the U.S. is 14.3 million. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) in their most recent report, 7.6 million students participate in organized athletics in U.S. schools. 18,150 schools have a boy’s basketball team. Football has the most participants among all high school sports, with more than 1.1 million students playing at 14,000 schools.


A primary barrier to the development of a national media network for high school sports has been access to broadcast-worthy content. While reporting of high school sports statistics has matured, delivery of video and audio is virtually undeveloped broadcasting beyond state

championship football. The emergence of mobile data networks and high quality Internet-enabled video cameras has dramatically simplified the ease with which content can be captured and disseminated for broadcast distribution, both streamed as a live event as well as for archival access. DigitalTown aims to be among the first to capitalize on this opportunity.


The monetization of these sports portals is expected to be comprised of (1) advertising and sponsorship sales, (2) merchandise sales, (3) sale of vanity email addresses that use the high school domain name, (4) revenue share from processing of transactions such as ticket sales, and (5) premium fees for access to high definition live stream of events.


Sales of local advertising and sponsorships represent the largest immediate sales opportunity.  According to the National Retail Federation, there are more than 3.7 million retail businesses in the U.S. alone. The vast majority of these businesses are believed to operate within a five-mile radius of a high school. These businesses are natural advertisers for local sports media and are increasingly sophisticated in their use of online advertising products.


High schools are traditionally unsophisticated in their approach to selling sponsorships and advertising, traditionally relying on some combination of students, coaches and booster clubs to solicit local sponsors with little in the way of formal methods for salesforce management, yield optimization or reporting of advertising effectiveness.


As the DigitalTown audience network grows, it is expected that we will be able to appeal to national sponsors either through direct sales as well as through partnerships with national advertising partners catering to sports media audiences. One unique advantage of the DigitalTown network is the ability to provide hyper-local targeting, e.g., a national pizza chain with a national campaign through DigitalTown can display a local phone number for ordering on each website.


The network of online sports portals currently under development at DigitalTown is scheduled to be in operation during calendar Q3 2015 in time for the 2015-16 academic year.


Intellectual Property


Domain Name Portfolio: The Company’s primary intellectual property asset is a portfolio of 21,547 active domain name registrations. Of these, 21,523 are of the prestigious .COM domains and are rendered without hyphens, thereby making them the “high ground” from a branding perspective among the range of domains that could be conceivably registered either by the school itself or by a would-be imitator of the Company’s business model. The median registration age of the domain portfolio is more than nine years old, a key signal to search engines of a website’s trustworthiness.


Software: The Company is developing a proprietary platform for managing the sports media network, including the network of sports sites, a master website, and back office management tools. The Company continues to invest heavily in software but will do so with an emphasis on capital efficiency and return on investment.

EMPLOYEES


As of February 28, 2015, DigitalTown, Inc. has three employees.  The Company’s 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.


RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS


We have a history of losses and the report of our independent accountants issued in connection with the audit of our financial statements contained a qualification raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We incurred net losses of $678,035 and $2,717,256 for the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $28,873,297 at February 28, 2015. As a result of these conditions, the report of our independent accountants issued in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for our fiscal years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 contained a qualification raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We can provide no assurance regarding when, if ever, we will become profitable. As a result, we may continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future and in the extreme case, discontinue operations.

We may not be able to collect on our stock subscriptions receivable or raise capital through the sale of our common stock as needed to fund our operations.


At February 28, 2015, the Company had stock subscriptions receivable of $625,482 and for the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company received stock subscription payments of $15,913.


We believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscriptions receivable, proceeds from the sale of domain names and proceeds from the sale of our common stock should be sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months.  In the event that we are unable to collect on our outstanding stock subscriptions receivable as needed or raise capital through the sale of our common stock and domain names 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 going forward are approximately $62,000 per month.





3




We may need to raise additional capital to finance operations.


Funding of our operations has relied almost entirely on the collection of outstanding subscriptions receivable and proceeds from the sale of our common stock.  We will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and execute our business plan.  We cannot be assured that financing will be available or on favorable terms.  The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.  Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations.  Any of these events would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.


Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.


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


Our common stock is currently traded on the Over-the-counter market “OTC” and quoted on the OTCMarkets “OTCQB”. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTC 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.  


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;



4






 

 

·

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 company’s 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 management’s attention and resources from our business.  Moreover and as previously noted, our shares are currently quoted on the OTCMarkets “OTCQB” and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations.  Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.



We could fail to retain or attract key personnel.


Effective on May 18, 2015, the Company appointed Robert Monster as Chief Executive Officer.  Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of Mr. Monster as well as Richard Pomije, our former Chief Executive Officer. We cannot be assured that we would be able to find appropriate replacements for them 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 have an employment agreement with Mr. Monster but we do not 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 have 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 our domain name rights could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.  The Company does have controls and procedures in place to ensure that all domain names are renewed in a timely manner.







5





We need to raise additional capital to renew our domain names on a timely basis.


To date, funding of our domain name renewals has relied almost entirely on the collection of outstanding subscriptions receivable and proceeds from the sale of our common stock.  In the absence of near-term progress on cash flow from operations, we may need to raise additional capital in order to renew our domain names on a timely basis.  We cannot be assured that financing will be available or on favorable terms.  The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.  Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail domain name renewals which would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.


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 current directors, in the aggregate have the ability to appoint new 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. This influence could have a material impact on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and 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 (“Exchange Act”) and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 SEC.  Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our



6




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;

·

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 creating 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.


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.  


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES


The Company leases from Jeffrey L. Mills, a director and stockholder of the Company, approximately 2,650 square feet of space used for offices at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, Minnesota.  Effective September 1, 2014, the existing lease was terminated and the two parties agreed to a month-to-month agreement requiring rental payments of $1,050 per month.



7





ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


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

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, which should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the audited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.


Company Overview


DigitalTown, Inc. (DigitalTown or the Company) owns and operates a nationwide network of hyper-local online communities.  The Company’s emphasis is on the development of a network of high school sports websites.


The Company’s core asset is a portfolio of 21,547 domains matching the largest high schools in the United States.  The portfolio corresponds to a standard pattern of school and mascot names, e.g., from AbbevilleGenerals.com to ZwolleHawks.com.


The Company aims to create and operate the leading direct to consumer online media network for high school sports.

As the DigitalTown audience network grows, it is expected that we will be able to appeal to national sponsors either through direct sales as well as through partnerships with national advertising partners catering to sports media audiences. One unique advantage of the DigitalTown network is the ability to provide hyper-local targeting, e.g., a national pizza chain with a national campaign through DigitalTown can display a local phone number for ordering on each website.


The network of online sports portals currently under development at DigitalTown is scheduled to be in operation during calendar Q3 2015 in time for the 2015-16 academic year.

Domain Name Portfolio: The Company’s primary intellectual property asset is a portfolio of 21,547 active domain name registrations. Of these, 21,523 are of the prestigious .COM domains and are rendered without hyphens, thereby making them the “high ground” from a branding perspective among the range of domains that could be conceivably registered either by the school itself or by a would-be imitator of the Company’s business model. The median registration age of the domain portfolio is more than nine years old, a key signal to search engines of a website’s trustworthiness.


Software: The Company is developing a proprietary platform for managing the sports media network, including the network of sports sites, a master website, and back office management tools. The Company continues to invest heavily in software but will do so with an emphasis on capital efficiency and return on investment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2015 AND 2014


During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company recorded revenues of $1,596 and cost of revenues of $178,739 for a negative gross profit of $(177,143) compared to revenues of $10,333 and cost of revenues of $291,973 for a negative gross profit of $(281,640) during the year ended February 28, 2014.  For the year ended February 28, 2015, revenues mainly consisted of commissions generated from advertising on our websites of $801 and domain name lease revenue of $795.  For the comparable prior year period revenues mainly consisted of commissions generated from advertising of $1,209 and direct sale of display advertising totaling $9,114.  Cost of revenues consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $178,699 and $197,411, direct sales expense of $0 and $5,497, amortization of website development fees of $0 and $87,552, and server/bandwidth expense of $40 and $1,513, respectively, for the two comparable periods.


Operating expenses for the year ended February 28, 2015 decreased by $793,739 to $498,569 compared to the prior year. Stock compensation expense included in selling, general and administration expenses was $190,246 for the year ended February 28, 2015, compared to $703,648 for the year ended February 28, 2014, a decrease of $513,402 compared to the prior year.  Impairment expense was $919,323 during the year ended February 28, 2014, compared to $0 for the current year. Excluding non-cash impairment expense and stock compensation expense for the two comparable periods, operating expenses were $308,323 for the current period compared to $588,660 for the year ended February 28, 2014.  The decrease of $280,337 for the two comparable periods is primarily due to a decrease of $27,674 in legal and professional fees, a decrease in payroll expense of $167,959, a decrease in employee benefits of $37,920, a decrease in rent expense of $12,468 and a $10,500 decrease in directors’ fees.


The Company’s overall net loss for the current year decreased by $2,039,221 to $678,035.  The decrease was mainly due to an impairment charge of $919,323 to intangible assets and a loss of $164,324 on common stock issued for conversion of debt for the year ended February 28, 2014.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company’s cash position at February 28, 2015 was $14,660, a decrease of $35,929 from $50,589 at February 28, 2014.  During the year ended February 28, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $294,042 compared to cash used of $517,044 for the comparable prior year period.  When comparing the two periods, the decrease in cash used in operating activities of $223,002 for the year ended February 28, 2015 is primarily due to a decrease of $189,593 in cash operating expenses and an increase in related parties’ accounts payable of $32,720.


Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2015, was $0 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3,999 for the comparable prior year period, which consisted of $3,486 used for website development costs and $513 used for the purchase of additional domain names.

 



13




Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2015, was $258,113, which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscriptions receivable of $15,913, proceeds from related party notes payable of $85,000, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $166,000 and proceeds from related party payables of $1,200 offset by principal payments of $10,000 on a related party note payable.  For the comparable period ended February 28, 2014, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $535,626, which consisted of payments received on stockholder subscriptions receivable of $337,459, proceeds from a third party note payable of $150,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $50,000 offset by principal payments of $1,833 on a loan from a director/stockholder.


Monthly cash operating expenses for the year ended February 28, 2015, were approximately $40,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $62,000 per month which includes the monthly cost for the renewal of the existing domain names of approximately $16,000. In addition to the normal monthly operating expenses, the Company’s committed cash requirements for the 12 months ending February 28, 2016 include the balance due of $30,000 for expenses pertaining to the Company’s Strategic Partnership Agreement with the NIAAA and $22,500 pertaining to a software development maintenance agreement. From March 1, 2015 to June 12, 2015, the Company did not receive any cash proceeds from its stock subscriptions receivable but the Company entered into stock purchase agreements and issued 2,467,000 restricted common shares at $0.25 per share, for total cash proceeds of $616,750.  


As of February 28, 2015, the Company has the following stock subscription agreements outstanding:


2007 Agreements


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


·

The price per share of $2.50 was based on the closing price on October 4, 2007.

·

At 24 months, 1/36 payments are due monthly.

·

The Company, at its option, may call up to 1/12 of the gross receivable per month if the preceding 30-day average trading price is at or above $7.00 per share with minimum trading volume of 5,000 shares per day.

·

If the purchaser sells these common shares, the purchaser shall be entitled to an amount equal to 200% of the original purchase price of each share and the Company shall be entitled to 50% of any additional net sales proceeds from the stock sale.


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


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




14




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 each month thereafter, 1/36 payments are due 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 per share.  Minimum trading volume must be 5,000 shares per day.

·

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

A.

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

B.

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

C.

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


The outstanding balance owed on the revised 2007 subscription agreements at February 28, 2015, is $325,482.


2010 Agreement


Material terms of the subscription agreement received by the Company on June 22, 2010, for 400,000 restricted common shares at $0.75 per share (total value of $300,000) are as follows:

·

Payment is due in full in 60 months.

·

At 24 months, the Company can demand at its option, monthly 1/36 payments on the subscription agreement.

·

The Company has the option to charge simple annual interest of up to 4%.

·

The Company will provide downside protection of up to 30% of the stock price upon conversion.


The outstanding balance owed on the 2010 subscription agreement at February 28, 2015, is $300,000.


Summary


As of February 28, 2015, the Company had stock subscriptions receivable of $625,482 and for the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company received stock subscription payments of $15,913.


The following table summarizes the stock subscriptions receivable, by quarter, at February 28, 2015:

In summary, we believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our outstanding stock subscriptions receivable and future proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and the sale of existing domain names should be sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months.  In the event that we are unable to collect our stock subscriptions receivable as needed or raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock or sell existing domain names on acceptable terms, we would be forced to further reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.

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 Company’s overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Company’s resulting websites are currently operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are currently being amortized over one year and the purchase of any new domain names are the only amounts being capitalized.  Previously, during the infrastructure development stage of



16




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 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.  


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, directors, consultants and advisors. 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 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. 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.

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


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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors

DigitalTown, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DigitalTown, Inc. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DigitalTown, Inc. as of February 28, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has a working capital deficit, recurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2015 and 2014




Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:


Nature of Business

DigitalTown, Inc. (DigitalTown or 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 their domain names. The Company’s headquarters are located at 11974 Portland Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337, and its telephone and facsimile numbers are (952) 890-2362 and (952) 890-7451, respectively. The Company's Internet address is www.digitaltown.com.   The Company is traded in the over-the-counter market under the ticker DGTW.

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 (“U.S.”) 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 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 DigitalTown’s 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 DigitalTown’s network.  Per these

DigitalTown, Inc.


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2015 and 2014



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.


Concentrations


During the year ended February 28, 2015, one customer accounted for 50% of revenues. During the year ended February 28, 2014, one customer accounted for 61% of revenues. At February 28, 2015, one customer accounted for 68% of accounts receivable. At February 28, 2014, the Company had no accounts receivable.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.


As of February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company does not have any financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:


Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.


Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).


Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.


There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for the years ended February 28, 2015 or 2014.


As of February 28, 2014, Level 3 assets consisted of intangible assets.  At February 28, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $919,323 for the full amount of its intangible assets.  No fair value adjustment was necessary for the year ended February 28, 2015 as the balance sheet date was zero.

DigitalTown, Inc.


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2015 and 2014




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, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.


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 insurance coverage up to $250,000.  At February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.


Intangible Assets – Domain Names/Website Development Costs


Domain name costs are accounted for in accordance with the FASB ASC 350-50 guidance pertaining to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Website Development Costs.  Certain modules and components of the Company’s overall website development are ready for their intended use and the Company’s resulting websites are currently operational. Accordingly, the annual domain name renewal fees are currently being amortized over one year and the purchase of any new domain names are the only amounts being capitalized.  Previously, during the infrastructure development stage of its websites, the Company capitalized the purchase of new domain names and the annual domain name renewal fees. Additionally, since the ownership of each domain name can be renewed for a nominal renewal fee each year prior to their expiration date, the useful lives of the domain names are deemed to be indefinite and no amortization of the capitalized costs for the domain names will be recorded.  


Website development costs are accounted for in accordance with the FASB 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 recorded $0 and $87,552 of amortization expense for the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  See Note 4 for further information.


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


26




DigitalTown, Inc.


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2015 and 2014



exceeds the fair value of the asset.  At February 28, 2014, the Company determined that a full impairment charge of $919,323 was necessary for the net carrying amount of its intangible assets.


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. The Company recorded $4,119 and $7,311 of depreciation expense for the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  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.  See Note 3 for further information.


Income Taxes


Deferred tax assets (net of any valuation allowance) and liabilities resulting from temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards are recorded using an asset-and-liability method.  Deferred taxes relating to temporary differences and loss carryforwards 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 FASB 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 Company’s 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, 2015 or 2014.  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, Including Options and Warrants


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, directors, consultants and advisors. The compensation expense for the Company's stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant.




27




DigitalTown, Inc.


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2015 and 2014



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. 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.


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, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no items defined as other comprehensive income (loss).


Advertising


Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  The Company did not incur any advertising expense during the years ended February 28, 2015 or 2014.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2. Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has a working capital deficit, recurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  


At February 28, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28,873,297.  Subsequent to February 28, 2015, the Company has not received any cash proceeds from its stock subscriptions receivable but the Company entered into stock purchase agreements and issued 2,467,000 restricted common shares at $0.25 per share, for total cash proceeds of $616,750.  The Company anticipates that expected future proceeds from its stock subscriptions receivable, additional financing through the sale of its common stock or other equity-based securities, and additional sales of existing domain names will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs through at least February 28, 2016.  In the event that the

Company is unable to obtain additional capital in the future, it would be forced to further reduce operating expenses and/or cease operations altogether.

During the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred $190,755 and $197,328, respectively, of annual domain name renewal fees and has expensed $178,699 and $197,411, respectively, to cost of revenues on a straight-line basis and has recorded $59,629 and $47,573, respectively, as prepaid domain name renewal fees at February 28, 2015 and 2014.  


During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company capitalized $3,486 of website development costs.  The Company had a total recorded cost of $366,166 at February 28, 2014 and determined that $351,457 of these costs pertain to a component that was ready for its intended use and had an estimated useful life of three years.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company recorded $87,552 of website development amortization expense pertaining to these components to cost of revenues in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.  At February 28, 2014, the Company determined that a full impairment charge of $58,625 was necessary for the net carrying amount of its intangible assets - website development costs.

Note 5. Deferred Officer Compensation


Richard Pomije, the former CEO, CFO and Chairman of the Company has elected to forego a portion of his salary at various times due to the Company’s limited operating funds. These amounts do not accrue interest and are due and payable as funds become available in the future.

Note 7. Stock Options


The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan. As of February 28, 2015, 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 officers and employees 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 date of grant.  The terms of the options range from five to ten 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 Company’s stock options have been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which requires assumptions as to expected dividends, the options expected life, volatility and risk-free interest rate at the time of the grant.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.


For stock options granted during the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company utilized the following key assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Note 9. Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $8,752,466 as of February 28, 2015 that will be offset against future taxable income.  The available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $8,752,466 will expire in various years through 2035. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the future tax loss carry forwards.


The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the statutory income tax rate to the Company’s loss before income taxes.  The components of these differences are as follows at February 28, 2015 and 2014:

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

ITEM 9A.  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, 2015, 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 (“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 (“SEC”), under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded, as discussed below, that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2015 and as a result, our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective.  Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of February 28, 2015, 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 (“U.S. GAAP”).


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  


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


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


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


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

 



47






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

 

Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of February 28, 2015.   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 Company’s 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 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, 2015, 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 Chairman on a quarterly basis;

·

All new stock option grants will be documented in the board minutes including grantee, date of grant and number of options granted.



48







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 2016; however such procedures will not be tested until our first quarter close.


Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls


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

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures:


The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the results of their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee in carrying out its responsibilities and 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 Company’s stockholders. The Committee shall have the ultimate authority for and responsibility to evaluate and annually recommend the selection, retention, and, where appropriate, the replacement of the independent auditors. The Committee shall review and approve the performance by the independent auditors of any non-audit-related service if the fees for such service are projected to exceed 15% of the most recently completed fiscal year’s combined audit fees and audit-related service fees. The Committee shall review and discuss with the auditors their independence from management and the Company and the matters included in the written disclosures required by professional independence standards applicable to the independent auditors. Annually, the Committee shall review and assess whether the independent auditor’s performance of non-audit services is compatible with the auditor’s independence. In addition, the Audit Committee shall review any candidate for the senior accounting and/or financial executive position prior to his or her appointment by the Company.


·

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


·

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


·

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




56








·

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 Company’s financial statements.
