ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

GENERAL

 

DigitalTown, Inc. (“The Company”, “We”, “Us”, “Our” and “DigitalTown”) provides turn-key hosted solutions to power a comprehensive platform for government entities, citizens and merchants. Our solutions improve the quality of life for residents and visitors through integrated technology for economic development, civic engagement, digital inclusion and smart tourism for cities around the world. The easy to use platform helps city officials and local merchants manage a feature-rich Smart City for web and mobile devices, and provides residents and visitors with access to Content, Community and Commerce.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is the last day in February. Our current fiscal year ended on February 28, 2019, and we refer to as “fiscal 2019”. Last year, our fiscal year ended on February 28, 2018 and we refer this year as “fiscal 2018”.

 

Market Opportunity

 

We provide an integrated search, community, and commerce platform for both web and mobile devices. DigitalTown powers connected online communities that enable members of a community to find information and acquire the goods and services they need locally when possible. The DigitalTown platform is intended to improve how the local economy consumes and transacts. It does this by helping local community citizens interact with city government, as well as local merchants. Residents and visitors are able to use the DigitalTown powered search engine to access content, community and commerce from an easy search tool. If there are local vendors that can fulfill a product or service that relates to a search term, then those options are presented to the user. Local vendors can also become direct merchants on the platform, effectively allowing the local town to be its own hub for mass commerce.

 

The Strategic Importance of Local Online Economic Development

The DigitalTown platform elevates local communities to an advanced state of technical capability. To date, most cities have historically taken a hands-off approach towards the Internet. However, we believe city management will further consider the Internet as an integral part of their strategic plan for economic growth.

 

The continued expansion of big box retailers and steep growth of national eCommerce has created an increased number of challenges for locally owned small businesses. This requires a new approach to online economic development – one that equips local merchants with the means to compete locally and sell nationally. DigitalTown provides a cost-effective solution to help local businesses compete against entities with greater reach, scale and resources.

 

Why the DigitalTown solution makes sense now

The DigitalTown platform is a cost-effective solution for enabling a community to become a smart community, which we define as connected to shared content and local commerce. A key enabler for this capability is the continued growth of smartphones that are powered by common frameworks, such as Apple iOS and Android. The use of smartphones has enabled individuals to communicate and transact in real-time anywhere they choose using their smartphone, which serves as a proxy for identity, reputation, preferences and method of payment. In effect, the smartphone has become the Digital Wallet. We believe this opportunity is global and our approach, which emphasizes public-private partnerships, will enable accelerated adoption particularly in rural communities where trust of technology is lower, the need is potentially the greatest, and economic models are at the greatest risk.

 

How the DigitalTown SmartCity Platform is part of the new SmartWeb

A core component of the DigitalTown approach is to build branded web destinations that are intuitive to discover. Part of what makes this possible is the emergence of new domain extensions that are descriptive. For example, .CITY routes a visitor to a website about a city and .MENU routes a user to a website about restaurants in that city. Due to management’s long-standing relation with domain registry operators, the Company will seek to bring structure to the emerging landscape of domain extensions, while at the same time emphasizing distribution of a unified mobile application to work as a digital companion alongside the growing network of direct navigation brands.

 

The DigitalTown Platform

 

The DigitalTown platform supports powerful online and mobile communities. We tap into locally relevant news and content in order to keep community members informed. We provide community tools to keep community members connected. We enable commerce and fulfillment in local communities thereby helping residents to buy locally while equipping merchants to sell locally, nationally and even globally.

Content Search

The DigitalTown search engine serves as the core of the local experience. Whereas most residents may go once or twice per year to the official city site, the DigitalTown-powered search engine is designed for daily use as a preferred homepage for local residents and businesses. This will be accomplished through a combination of marketing and education to residents. In addition, we believe adoption can happen through building a strong level of trust with the residents, since our platform will be endorsed or supported by the local government whom the residents know. This compares to large national companies with limited to no connection to the local residents.

 

Community

Consumers are already familiar with social networking through applications like Facebook and Twitter. The integrated DigitalTown web service and mobile app make it easy to stay informed, as well as to connect and communicate with other members of a given community. Community members can message, join groups, shop online, and make payments.

 

Commerce

The DigitalTown platform provides merchants with a turn-key solution for online commerce. Once the approved merchant loads SKU’s and inventory available for sale, the merchants can begin selling without any setup fees or capital investment costs. Transaction processing services are provided by DigitalTown, thereby eliminating the need for each retailer to secure a merchant processing account. The community may also enable a private currency for use within the community.

 

Courier and Delivery Management

In a growing number of participating cities, an integrated courier and delivery application is included, enabling approved delivery service providers to be notified about items from merchants to be picked up and delivered to the customer, thereby enabling any approved merchant to also offer delivery services to the end-customer. Delivery time is chosen by the customer and can be hours to days.

 

Administration

The DigitalTown platform provides integrated administrative tools for managing Content, Community and Commerce, making it easy to administer. The administrative tools are designed to be the back end of the smart community. For example, administrators can create Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that are then presented through the site search. This FAQ article is then systematically provided as information when a user makes an inquiry that matches the keywords into the search box on the site.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Domain Name Portfolio. The Company is developing a proprietary platform for Smart City Management. As part of this platform rollout, the Company has secured approximately 13,000 of the .CITY domains that map to significant population centers. DigitalTown has methodically secured the .CITY domains through both acquisition from existing registrants, or via direct purchase from the operator of the .CITY registrar.

 

Software: The Company has developed a proprietary platform for enabling any city to become a Smart City, incorporating advanced features for economic development, community engagement and digital inclusion. In addition, the Company has completed acquisitions of 7 software companies: Cloud.Market, Software Masters, Inc, Rezserve Technologies Ltd, Appointment.com, Comencia Inc, Congo Ltd. and CityInformation BV, each of which brought significant intellectual property and is in process of being fully integrated into the DigitalTown platform. The Company continues to invest in software with an emphasis on capital efficiency and return on investment.

 

Dispositions

 

In late fiscal 2019, the Company sold the balance of its useful assets, including 4 of the above-mentioned previously acquired software companies that had not been integrated into the DigitalTown platform. The Company is also no longer acquiring or renewing its domain name portfolio.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

We are subject to various risks that may materially affect 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 impacted. 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 operating 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 operating losses of $5,788,778 and $8,057,482 for in fiscal years 2019 and 2018 respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $56,289,322 at February 28, 2019. In addition, we have incurred net losses of $7,403,426 and $10,243,396 for the fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. 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 the fiscal years ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018 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.

 

For fiscal years 2019 and 2018, the Company sold shares of its common stock which generated cash of $1,070,545 and $1,662,732, respectively.

 

We believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect to collect on our booked software licensing revenue, 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 amounts due to us or raise capital through the sale of our common stock as needed, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses 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 $30,000 per month.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to finance operations.

 

Funding of our operations over the past 2 years has relied almost entirely on proceeds from the sale of our common stock and the issuance of promissory notes. We currently do not have any bank debt. We may 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 at favorable terms. Any sale of our common stock to raise capital will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, unless the existing holders participate in the capital raise. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we will need to reduce or cease 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 OTC Markets. Broker-dealers are challenged 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. The Company is exploring the possibility of listing within a different level of OTC or transitioning to the NASDAQ exchange in an effort to help increase the liquidity of the Company’s stock.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

Since our common stock is thinly traded, its trading price is more likely to be 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;

·

new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors;

·

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

·

general conditions or trends in our business industries;

·

announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

·

sales of our common stock; and

·

general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

·

the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock;

 

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 activity against us could result in 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 OTC Markets and 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.

 

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, 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 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.

 

 
6
 
Table of Contents

 

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 team is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we are not in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, we will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described abuses from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the market sale or short sales 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 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 does not currently own any property. As of February 28, 2019, the company did not have any office leases in place.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, suits and complaints 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 business, 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, 2019 and February 28, 2018, 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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2019 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2018

 

During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded revenues from continuing operations of $34,473 and cost of revenues of $743,464 for a gross loss of $708,991 compared to revenues from continuing operations of $80,940 and cost of revenues of $889,454 for a gross loss of $808,514 during fiscal 2018. For fiscal 2019, revenues mainly consisted of development fees related to our SmartCity platform. Cost of revenues consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $335,629 and $675,242, and development expense of $688,804 and $354,121, for the two fiscal years, respectively.

 

The Company’s operating expenses are currently all related to selling, general and administrative activity. These expenses were $5,079,787 in fiscal 2019 compared to $7,248,968 in fiscal 2018, a decrease of $2,169,181. There was one significant driver of this decrease and it was a non-recurring, non-cash expense from fiscal 2018. Our stock-based compensation expense was $2,059,677 for fiscal 2019 as compared to $3,524,123 for fiscal 2018, a decrease of $1,464,446. In addition, our decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to a decrease in domain name renewal fees of $339,613, and a decrease in travel, conferences and trade shows expenses of $255,345.

 

The Company’s loss from discontinued operations was $244,975 in fiscal 2019 compared to $89,823 in fiscal 2018, an increase of $155,152.

 

The Company’s overall net loss for the current year decreased by $2,839,970 to $7,403,426. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in stock compensation expense and the decrease in general and administrative items as detailed above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s cash position at February 28, 2019 was $15,271, a decrease of $43,441 from $58,712 at February 28, 2018. During fiscal 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $2,378,094 compared to cash used of $3,162,324 for the fiscal 2018. When comparing the two periods, the decrease in cash used in operating activities of $784,230 for fiscal 2019 is primarily due to a decrease of cash operating expenses.

 

Net cash provided (used) in investing activities was $905,812 and $(139,169) for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. In fiscal 2019, the Company received cash from the disposal of certain business assets, and from the sale of cryptocurrencies.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2019, was $1,434,758, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and borrowings from convertible notes. For fiscal 2018, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $2,817,732, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and borrowings from convertible and promissory notes.

 

Monthly cash operating expenses for fiscal 2019, were approximately $250,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $25,000 per month.

 

We believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect from 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 operate profitably, 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 or cease operations altogether.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Effective March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018.

 

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:

 

Prepaid Domain Names

The annual domain name renewal fees are currently amortized over one year and the purchase of any new domain names are the only amounts capitalized. See Note 4 for further information.

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

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 and

Stockholders of Digitaltown, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digitaltown, Inc. (the Company) as of February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended February 28, 2019, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended February 28, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  

Basis for Opinion

  

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DigitalTown, Inc.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended February 28, 2019 and 2018

 

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

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company was founded in 1982 under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Command Small Computer Learning Center, Inc., a computer training company and operated under several different names in the computer hardware and training sector. In 2005, the Company began acquiring domain names. On March 1, 2007, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. and began developing a business plan to develop a platform to monetize their domain names. DigitalTown currently provides turn-key hosted solutions to power a comprehensive platform for government entities, citizens and merchants. The easy to use platform helps city officials and local merchants manage a feature-rich Smart City for web and mobile devices and provides residents and visitors with access to Content, Community and Commerce. The Company’s headquarters are located in Bellevue, WA. The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol of DGTW.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared using U.S. GAAP 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, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $56,289,322. The Company anticipates that growth from its operations, expected future proceeds from additional financing through the sale of its common stock or other equity-based securities, and additional sales and/or leases of existing domain names will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs through at least February 28, 2020. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital in the future, the Company would reduce operating expenses or cease operations altogether.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalTown, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in United States (U.S.) dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Proceeds from related party notes payable received in the prior period have been reclassified from the prior period classification. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or accumulated deficit for any year.

 

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.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable arise from the software licensing of our Rezserve and Comencia subsidiaries. The Company evaluates collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors including the age of the receivable or a specific customer’s 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 recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018 of $5,308 and $5,456, respectively.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to completed acquisitions. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized but instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if necessary.

 

 
F-6
 
Table of Contents

 

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are comprised of amounts assigned to acquisition-related items, such as trade names, customer lists, non-compete agreements and intellectual property/technology. Intangible assets are considered either definite or indefinite lived assets. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Certain intangible assets may have an indefinite life and are not amortized, but rather evaluated for impairment annually.

 

We evaluate any goodwill and intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis each fiscal year end. We also evaluate goodwill and intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets below the carrying amounts. At February 28, 2019, we did not have any goodwill or intangible assets. Based upon our review and analysis as of February 28, 2018, we deemed all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2018 as fully impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,721,760 in fiscal 2018.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2019.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the following five criteria have been met:

 

 

·Identify the contract with a customer

 

·Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

·Determine the transaction price

 

·Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract

 

·Recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied

 

The Company primarily recognizes revenue from sale of software licenses and related development services. Software licensing and development revenue is recognized as invoiced and over the course of the applicable agreements. In the event projects have multiple project milestones, revenue is recognized as milestones are achieved and invoices are submitted for payment.

 

The Company may also be merchant of record for merchant transactions processed on the DigitalTown platform. When this happens, revenue is recognized on the date of the transaction. The Company has experience in merchant transaction fraud mitigation. To the extent chargebacks become material, the Company will implement a formal practice for allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

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 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.

 

 
F-7
 
Table of Contents

 

As of February 28, 2019, and February 28, 2018, the Company does not have any financial instruments that must be measured under the 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 during fiscal 2019 or fiscal 2018.

 

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, 2019, and February 28, 2018, 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, 2019 and February 28, 2018, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

 

Prepaid Domain Names

 

The annual domain name renewal fees are currently capitalized in the period of renewal then amortized over one year. Only the purchase of new domain names are capitalized. See Note 4 for further information.

 

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. The Company recorded $8,567 and $6,022 of depreciation expense for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, 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 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 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, 2019 or February 28, 2018. In accordance with the FASB 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

 

Use of equity for compensation is a material part of the Company’s near-term strategy. 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.

 

 
F-8
 
Table of Contents

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”)). ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. Subsequent to the initial standards, the FASB has also issued several ASUs to clarify specific revenue recognition topics. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2019.

 

The Company adopted using the modified retrospective approach to initially apply the update and recognize the remaining contract value at the date of application. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on its total cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not elected early adoption of this standard and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

The Company believes there are no other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 2. Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared using U.S. GAAP 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 related 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.

 

 
F-9
 
Table of Contents

 

At February 28, 2019 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $56,289,322. The Company anticipates growth from its operations, expected future proceeds from additional financing through the sale of its common stock or other equity-based securities, and additional sales and/or leases of existing domain names will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs through at least February 28, 2020. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital in the future, the Company would further reduce expenses or cease operations altogether.

Note 4. Prepaid Domain Names

 

During the fiscal years 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $0 and $214,304, respectively, of annual domain name renewal fees, which range between $1.75 and $129 per domain name. These amounts were recorded as prepaid domain name renewal fees, and are then amortized over one year on a straight-line basis. During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $77,977 and $136,328 of expense as cost of revenues related to this amortization. As of February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, the Company has $0 and $77,977, respectively, of remaining prepaid domain name renewal fees recorded on the balance sheet. See Note 8 for information on Related Party activity within Prepaid Domain Names.

 

Note 5. Accrued Expenses and Deferred Revenue

 

Accrued Expenses

 

On December 5, 2016, Richard Pomije filed a lawsuit against the Company. Mr. Pomije asserts an employment agreement existed and a continuing obligation of the Company in the form of a monthly salary for a 1 year term from May 18, 2015 to May 17, 2016 was due in addition to a stock subscription receivable. Mr. Pomije claims the Company owes him $260,900, which had been fully accrued for by the Company at February 28, 2017.

 

On April 18, 2018, Mr. Richard Pomije was granted a judgement for the lawsuit he filed against the Company on December 5, 2016. Mr. Pomije was awarded $256,488 as damages, and $296,488 as attorney’s fees and costs, for a total award of $552,976. As at February 28, 2018, $552,976 has been accrued as payable to Mr. Pomije. During the quarter ending May 31, 2018, $10,910 was paid to Mr. Richard Pomije. As at February 28, 2019, $542,066 has been accrued as payable to Mr. Pomije. The Company filed an appeal on June 13, 2018. See Note 14 for additional information about transactions between the Company and its former officer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

During fiscal 2019, the Company signed one customer agreement to build customized website and app products. The pilot project agreement consists of milestones and completion metrics to ensure that the requested services have been performed satisfactorily and to the customers' full expectations. As the services requested by the customers have not yet been completed, a total of $186,305 and $170,000 have been recorded as deferred revenue as of February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively.

 

Domain Marketing Development Obligation

 

During fiscals 2019 and 2018, the Company signed top-level domain marketing development fund agreements with owners of 2 and 13 top level domains, respectively, whereby the Company markets and purchases domain names on behalf of the owners. The owner pays us an upfront deposit to be used to purchase a predefined number of domains based on a set schedule. As of February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, the Company has collected $101,600 and $930,556 in cash related to these contracts. As some of the services requested by the owners have not yet been completed, a total of $168,174 and $145,906 has been recorded as domain marketing development obligation as of February 28, 2019, and February 28, 2018, respectively.

 

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

The Company’s primary means of generating operating capital and completing acquisitions has been through the use of issuing common stock.

Mr. Pomije claims the Company owes him $260,900, which had been fully accrued for by the Company as of February 28, 2017.

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 $20,331,988 as of February 28, 2019 that will offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2039. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these consolidated 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, 2019 and February 28, 2018:

Note 11. 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 shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

 

Due to the recent net losses generated by the Company, there are no dilutive elements. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are the same.

 

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the fiscal years 2019 and 2018:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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, 2019, 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, 2019 and as a result, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of February 28, 2019, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer has 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 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.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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—2013 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, 2019. 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.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; and

 

4.Due to the Company not having formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions.

 

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 year ended February 28, 2019, 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

 

The Company is in the process of remediation of the identified disclosure and financial reporting control weakness, which is primarily related to retaining additional accounting personnel to assist with the financial reporting process. Due to our small size, limited operations and limited cash flow generation, we do not anticipate adding the requisite additional professional staff over the next 12 months to fully eliminate this weakness. However, we are providing best efforts to ensure the financial reporting is accurate and proper controls and procedures are followed by our limited staff.

 

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, #3 and #4;

 

·Apply a more rigorous review of the quarterly close processes by the CEO/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.

 

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.

 

·

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.
