PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

Digitaltown, Inc.

 

20,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

_____________________________________

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by the selling stockholders identified on page 9. All such shares represent shares that Triton Funds LLC (“Triton”) has agreed to purchase from us pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Equity Purchase Agreement we entered into with them on April 23, 2018 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to “put,” or sell, up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to Triton. This arrangement is also sometimes referred to herein as the “Registered Offering.”

 

For more information about the selling stockholders, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholders” beginning on page 9.

 

The selling stockholders may sell any shares offered under this prospectus at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or negotiated prices.

 

Triton is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Registered Offering, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in such resales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection therewith. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. For more information, please see the section of this prospectus titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 9.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares directly to Triton pursuant to the Registered Offering.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or “OTCQB,” under the ticker symbol “DGTW.” On April 23, 2018, the average of the high and low sales prices of our common stock was $0.125 per share.

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 2 of this prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Risk factors

 

You should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and the other information in this prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

_______________

(1) Assumes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares offered hereby that are issuable under our Equity Purchase Agreement with Triton.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

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 $5,475,577 and $2,283,963 for in fiscal years 2017 and 2016 respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $38,642,500 at February 28, 2017. In addition, we have incurred net losses of $7,219,626 and $2,549,577 for the fiscal years 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and February 29, 2016 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.

Table of Contents

 

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 2017 and 2016, the Company sold shares of its common stock which generated cash of $2,377,950 and $895,250, 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 $280,000 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 collection of outstanding subscriptions receivable. 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.

 

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.

 

We could fail to retain or attract key personnel.

 

Robert Monster has been our Chief Executive Officer since May 18, 2015. Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of Mr. Monster. We cannot be assured that we would be able to find appropriate replacements for Mr. Monster or any other key personnel. Any loss or interruption of our key personnel’s services could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan. We do have an employment agreement with Mr. Monster through May 18, 2018, but we do not presently maintain an executive life insurance policy for him.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

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.

 

Risks Relating to our Registered Offering with Triton

 

Resales of shares purchased by Triton under the Equity Purchase Agreement may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to “put,” or sell, up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to Triton. Unless terminated earlier, Triton’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of the date on which Triton shall have purchased shares pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or December 31, 2018. This arrangement is also sometimes referred to herein as the “Registered Offering.” The common stock to be issued to Triton pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a price equal to 75% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price on the OTCQB, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P., during the five consecutive trading days including and immediately prior to the settlement date of the sale, which in most circumstances will be the trading day immediately following the date that a put notice is delivered to Triton (a “Put Date”). Triton will have the financial incentive to sell the shares of our common stock issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement in advance of or upon receiving such shares and to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the current market price of the shares. This may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

 
5
 
Table of Contents

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Purchase Agreement itself.

 

Puts under Equity Purchase Agreement may cause dilution to existing stockholders.

 

From time to time during the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement, and at our sole discretion, we may present Triton with a put notice requiring Triton to purchase shares of our common stock. As a result, our existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any of the shares by Triton. Triton may resell some, if not all, of the shares that we issue to it under the Equity Purchase Agreement and such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. To the extent of any such decline, any subsequent puts would require us to issue and sell a greater number of shares to Triton in exchange for each dollar of the put amount. Under these circumstances, the existing stockholders of our company will experience greater dilution. The effect of this dilution may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to decrease further, both because of the downward pressure on the stock price that would be caused by a large number of sales of our shares into the public market by Triton, and because our existing stockholders may disagree with a decision to sell shares to Triton at a time when our stock price is low, and may in response decide to sell additional shares, further decreasing our stock price. If we draw down amounts under the Registered Offering when our share price is decreasing, we will need to issue more shares to raise the same amount of funding.

 

There is no guarantee that we will satisfy the conditions to the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

Although the Equity Purchase Agreement provides that we can require Triton to purchase, at our discretion, up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock in the aggregate, our ability to put shares to Triton and obtain funds when requested is limited by the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Triton at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Triton to the extent that it would cause Triton to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

We may not have access to the full amount available under the Equity Purchase Agreement with Triton.

 

Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement requires that a registration statement be declared effective and continue to be effective registering the resale of shares issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part registers the resale of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable under the Registered Offering. This registration statement (and any post-effective amendments thereto) may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of the registration statement (and any post-effective amendments thereto) cannot be assured. Even if we are successful in causing the registration statement registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner, we may not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions are met. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts under the Equity Purchase Agreement with Triton is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down all of the proceeds of $1,000,000 under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

Triton can refuse to purchase shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement if the total shares owned by Triton after the purchase would exceed 4.99% of our issued shares. Based on our recent share price, it is likely that the purchase of $1,000,000 of our stock would cause Triton to exceed 4.99%.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus may contain certain “forward-looking” statements as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases, which represent the registrant’s expectations or beliefs, including but not limited to, statements concerning the registrant’s operations, economic performance, financial condition, growth and acquisition strategies, investments, and future operational plans. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intent,” “could,” “estimate,” “might,” “plan,” “predict” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the registrant’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including uncertainty related to acquisitions, governmental regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the operations of the company and its subsidiaries, volatility of stock price, commercial viability of OTEC systems and any other factors discussed in this and other registrant filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

These risks and uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” of this prospectus. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risk factors described in this prospectus or in the documents we incorporate by reference, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this prospectus.

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding, among other things:

 

·

our ability to continue as a going concern;

·

our anticipated needs for working capital;

·

our ability to secure financing; and

·

THE OFFERING

 

The selling stockholders may offer and resale of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to this prospectus. All of such shares represent shares that Triton has agreed to purchase from us pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Equity Purchase Agreement we entered into with them on April 23, 2018 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), which are described below.

 

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with Triton Funds LLC

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to “put,” or sell, up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to Triton. Unless terminated earlier, Triton’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of the date on which Triton shall have purchased shares pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or December 31, 2018. We have no obligation to sell any shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement. This arrangement is also sometimes referred to herein as the “Registered Offering.”

 

As provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement, we may require Triton to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a put notice to Triton specifying the total number of shares to be purchased (such number of shares multiplied by the purchase price described below, the “Investment Amount”); provided there must be a minimum of ten trading days between delivery of each put notice. We may determine the Investment Amount, provided that such amount may not be more than 75% of the average daily trading volume in dollar amount for our common stock during the 5 trading days preceding the date on which we deliver the applicable put notice. Triton will have no obligation to purchase shares under the Registered Offering to the extent that such purchase would cause Triton to own more than 4.99% of our common stock.

 

For each share of the our common stock purchased under the Registered Offering, Triton will pay a purchase price equal to 75% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock the five trading days prior to the closing date. The closing date is six days after the shares have been delivered to Triton On the settlement date, Triton will purchase the applicable number of shares subject to customary closing conditions, including without limitation a requirement that a registration statement remain effective registering the resale by Triton of the shares to be issued under the Registered Offering as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement described below. The Equity Purchase Agreement is not transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.

 

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains covenants, representations and warranties of us and Triton that are typical for transactions of this type. In addition, we and Triton have granted each other customary indemnification rights in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement. The Equity Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time.

 

In connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Triton requiring us to prepare and file a registration statement registering the resale by Triton of shares to be issued under the Registered Offering, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and to keep such registration statement effective until (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, on June 4, 2018, we filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part registering the resale by Triton of up to 20,000,000 shares that may be issued and sold to Triton under the Registered Offering. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on _______, 2018.

 

The 20,000,000 shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus by Triton will represent approximately 13.72% of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by non-affiliates of our Company as of the date of this prospectus assuming the offering is fully subscribed.

Table of Contents

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements and instruments themselves, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to our registration statement, and incorporated into this prospectus by reference. The benefits and representations and warranties set forth in such agreements and instruments are not intended to and do not constitute continuing representations and warranties of the Company or any other party to persons not a party thereto.

 

We intend to sell to Triton periodically our common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement and Triton may, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price or at negotiated prices. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to Triton to raise the intended amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

 

Likelihood of Accessing the Full Amount of the Registered Offering

 

Notwithstanding that the Registered Offering is in an amount of $1,000,000, we anticipate that the actual likelihood that we will be able access the full amount of the Registered Offering is low due to several factors, including that our ability to access the Registered Offering is impacted by our average daily trading price, which may limit the maximum dollar amount of each put we deliver to Triton. Our use of the Registered Offering will continue to be limited and restricted if our market price of our stock continue at its current levels or decrease further in the future from the volume and stock prices reported over the past year. Our ability to issue shares in excess of the 20,000,000 shares covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part may be subject to our filing a subsequent registration statement with the SEC and the SEC declaring it effective.

 

Accordingly, because our ability to deliver puts to Triton under the Equity Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will receive all or any portion of the $1,000,000 that is available to us under the Registered Offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders or their respective permitted transferees may, from time to time, sell any or all of shares of our common stock covered hereby on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, provided such amounts are in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of common stock will be paid by the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers.

 

Triton Funds LLC is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because Triton is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

 

Although Triton has agreed not to enter into any “short sales” of our common stock, sales after delivery of a put notice of a number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased under a put notice shall not be deemed a “short sale.” Accordingly, Triton may enter into arrangements it deems appropriate with respect to sales of shares of our common stock after it receives a put notice under the Equity Purchase Agreement so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number of put shares reasonably expected to be purchased by Triton under such put notice.

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, 2017 and we refer to as “fiscal 2017”. Last year, our fiscal year ended on February 29, 2016 and we refer this year as “fiscal 2016”.

 

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.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation and bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, because of his position as such, to the fullest extent authorized by the corporation laws of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding.

 

To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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, 2017 and February 29, 2016, 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, 2017 AND FEBRUARY 29, 2016

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded revenues of $165,591 and cost of revenues of $473,056 for a gross loss of $(307,065) compared to revenues of $839 and cost of revenues of $255,925 for a gross loss of $(255,086) during fiscal 2016. For fiscal 2017, revenues mainly consisted of development fees related to our SmartCity platform, commissions generated from advertising on our websites, and activities from our Rezserve subsidiary. For the comparable prior year period revenues mainly consisted of commissions generated from advertising on our websites. Cost of revenues consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $82,370 and $166,312, development expense of $390,686 and $85,000, amortization of website development fees of $0 and $49, and server/bandwidth expense of $0 and $4,564, for the two fiscal years, respectively.

 

The Company’s operating expenses are currently all related to selling, general and administrative activity. These expenses were $5,168,512 in fiscal 2017 compared to $2,028,877 in fiscal 2016, an increase of $3,139,635. There were two significant drivers of this increase and both were non-cash expenses. First, our stock-based compensation expense was $2,455,587 for fiscal 2017 as compared to $1,445,298 for fiscal 2016, an increase of $998,341. Second, we incurred a non-cash expense of $853,955 related to an acquisition we completed in December 2016, which reflected the sum of the cost basis of the liabilities assumed and stock value we used to pay for the acquisition. In addition to the non-cash items, our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in contractor expense of $203,352, an increase of $196,367 in legal and professional fees, an increase in travel and conference-related costs of $170,394, an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $114,828, an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $40,313, an increase in hosting and servers expense of $33,369, an increase in office services and supplies of $18,035, as well as various other operating expenses of $19,835 for Rezserve Technologies Ltd. expense.

 

The Company’s overall net loss for the current year increased by $4,670,049 to $7,219,626. The increase was mainly due to the increase in stock compensation expense, the increase in general and administrative items as detailed above and an impairment of business acquisitions of $1,725,009 in fiscal 2017.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s cash position at February 28, 2017 was $539,243, an increase of $404,774 from $134,469 at February 29, 2016. During fiscal 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $1,934,540 compared to cash used of $700,441 for the fiscal 2016. When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $1,234,099 for fiscal 2017 is primarily due to an increase of cash operating expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $40,504 and $0 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. In fiscal 2017, the Company invested in three acquisitions to enhance its Smart City platform.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2017, was $2,377,950, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock. For fiscal 2016, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $820,250, which consisted of proceeds from related party notes payable of $15,000, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $895,250 offset by principal payments of $90,000 on a related party note payable.

 

 
21
 
Table of Contents

 

Monthly cash operating expenses for fiscal 2017, were approximately $175,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $280,000 per month, which includes the monthly cost for the renewal of the existing domain names of approximately $30,500. In addition to its normal monthly operating expenses, the Company’s committed cash requirements for the 12 months ending February 28, 2018 include the balance due of $30,000 for expenses pertaining to the Company’s Strategic Partnership Agreement with the NIAAA, which is associated with the Company’s previous business plan and expired in 2015 and $31,700 pertaining to software development agreements. In the period from March 1, 2017 through June 10, 2017, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements of 160,000 restricted common shares at $0.40 per share.

 

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

 

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.

 

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, 2017 and February 29, 2016, 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, 2017. 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, 2017 and February 29, 2016, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended February 28, 2017, 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, 2017 and February 29, 2016

 

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, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38,642,500. 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, 2018. 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 sale of and commission earned from display advertising. 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, 2017 and February 29, 2016 of $23,219 and $0, respectively. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded $114,829 of bad debt expense due mostly to new customers from the Rezserve acquisition.

 

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.

 

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 an 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. Based upon our review and analysis, we deemed all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2017 as fully impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,725,009 in fiscal 2017.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

·

Persuasive evidence that a business relationship exists

·

Delivery has occurred

·

The price is fixed and determinable

·

Collectability is reasonably assured

 

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.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of display advertising appearing on specific pages of individual sites within DigitalTown’s network platform. Display advertising is sold by the Company directly to local merchants and placed by the Company on specific pages of individual sites targeted by the local merchant. The terms of these sales are either for a fixed monthly amount for a period ranging from three months to one year or variable based on a percentage of the per click or per-impression revenue generated by these ads.

Table of Contents

 

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, 2017 or 2016.

 

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.

 

As of February 28, 2017, and February 29, 2016, 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 2017 or fiscal 2016.

 

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, 2017, and February 29, 2016, 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, 2017, the Company had one bank deposit account in excess of federally insured limits. As of February 29, 2016, 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.

Table of Contents

 

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 $2,782 and $3,588 of depreciation expense for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, 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 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, 2017 or February 29, 2016. 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.

 

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.

 

Advertising

 

It is the Company’s policy to expense advertising costs as in the period related to the advertising. The Company did not incur any advertising expense during fiscal years 2017 or 2016.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory to be measured within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. For public business entities, the amendments of ASU 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 are to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. This ASU conforms with the Company’s current protocol for evaluating inventory and the Company prospectively implemented adoption of this ASU. The adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 and it did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

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.

 

At February 28, 2017 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38,642,500. 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, 2018. 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 7. Stock Options

 

The Company has one stock option plan called The 2006 Employee Stock and Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which has reserved 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance. The types of awards that could be granted under the 2006 Plan include incentive and non-qualified options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards and other types of stock-based awards. All grants are determined and approved by the Board of Directors. Through February 28, 2017, the Company has only granted non-qualified stock options under the 2006 Plan. The stock options may be granted to officers and employees of the Company. Options granted under the 2006 Plan have exercise prices and vesting terms approved 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 exercise period 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.

 

During fiscal 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 525,000 stock options to 3 officers and 2 employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at prices of $0.12. All options vested immediately and are exercisable for 10 years.

The Company has had several transactions with Richard Pomije, its former CEO, CFO and Chairman, including notes payable – related party, common stock subscription receivable and deferred compensation. See Note 15 for more information about these transactions.

 

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 $11,627,532 as of February 28, 2017 that will offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2036. 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, 2017 and February 29, 2016:

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims and legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

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 has been fully accrued for by the Company. See Note 15 for additional information about transactions between the Company and its former officer.

 

Lease Commitments

As of February 28, 2017, we have one outstanding operating lease. The lease is for 700 square feet of office space in Vancouver, British Columbia for our Rezserve subsidiary. The lease is month-to-month with either party able to terminate the lease with 30 days of notice. Gross rent is approximately $1,073 per month.

Strategic Partnership Agreement

The Company entered into a five-year strategic partnership agreement with the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (“NIAAA”), which expired in December 2015. The Company entered into this agreement prior to commencing its current Smart City business strategy and with the intent of launching specific software to support various websites. The Company believes it has satisfied all terms of the agreement, however formal documentation of termination has not been obtained to date. The Company has included an amount in accounts payable for any potential obligations related to this agreement.

 

Note 11. Common Stock Subscriptions Receivable

 

From time to time, the Company has had various stock subscription agreements outstanding all of which were due from a related party. As of February 29, 2016, the Company was owed $5,000 for stock issued and had accrued an additional $7,150 for stock which is payable during the 2017 fiscal year under the employment agreement with Robert Monster. The total amount of $12,150 was satisfied in full in fiscal 2017.

 

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of 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 2017 and 2016:

(1)

At both February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, there were stock options equivalent to 2,592,310 common shares outstanding. The stock options are anti-dilutive at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(2)

At February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, there were outstanding warrants equivalent to 4,660,000 and 4,510,000 common shares, respectively. The warrants are anti-dilutive at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Note 13. Acquisitions

 

Appointment.com Acquisition

 

On December 1, 2016, the Company acquired all assets related to Appointment.com, Inc. (“Appointment”), an online scheduling software system based in Seattle, Washington. This transaction is considered related party since Epik LLC is a controlling owner of Appointment and the Company’s CEO, Rob Monster, is the controlling owner of Epik LLC. The purchase price pursuant to an asset purchase agreement was 1,625,000 common shares. Due to the related party nature of the transaction, the Company did not record any goodwill related to the transaction. The sum of the cost basis of the liabilities assumed and the stock value of $731,500 is recognized as $853,955 expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and Appointment.

 

The allocation of the purchase price to assets based upon fair value determinations was as follows:

 

Cash

 

$ 2,240

(42,380 )

Rezserve Technologies Ltd. Acquisition

 

On September 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for 100% of Rezserve Technologies, Ltd. (Rezserve), a travel industry software company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Rezserve in consideration for a total purchase price of $1,480,000. This price was paid with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a $400,000 secured convertible note payable to Rezserve’s founder Clint Skidmore. The terms of the note include interest at 0% per annum. Principal is due and payable within one year of September 13, 2016. The Company imputed interest expense of $19,040 related to the $400,000 convertible note payable – related party as an increase in additional paid in capital during fiscal 2017. See Note 14 for more information about the convertible note payable – related party.

 

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting, given that substantially all of Rezserve’s assets and ongoing operations were acquired. The purchase resulted in $1,445,292 of impairment expense. This was due to the use of common stock by the Company to pay for the acquisition and the corresponding the value of the stock was in excess of the fair value of the assets received. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and the Rezserve owner.

 

According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

The Company reviewed the fair value of the total assets of the acquisition and concluded the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets which were acquired was less than the fair value of the common stock which was used to pay for the business. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $1,445,292 related to this acquisition in fiscal 2017.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations of the combined entities are not included in this disclosure as the acquisition of Cloud.Market does not materially affect the Company’s results from operations.

 

Note 14. Convertible Note Payable – Related Party

 

On September 14, 2016, subject to a stock purchase agreement, the Company signed a secured convertible note of $400,000 with Clint Skidmore, founder of Rezserve Technology Ltd (“Rezserve”). The interest free note is due and payable within one year, at which time it can be converted into up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. The Company evaluated the note and determined that as the fixed exercise price exceeded the closing market price on the note issuance date, that no beneficial conversion feature was present. The imputed interest expense of $19,040 related to the $400,000 note payable was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital during the fiscal year 2017.

 

The Company evaluated the convertible note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the fixed conversion price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has sufficient authorized shares.

 

Note 15. Transactions with Former Officer

 

The Company was founded in 1982 by Richard Pomije. On May 17, 2015, Mr. Pomije resigned as CEO of the Company and on June 1, 2015, he resigned as the CFO and Chairman. At that time of his resignation, the Company and the Board of Directors were not aware of any continuing employment agreement. The Company released Mr. Pomije on September 11, 2015 concurrent with his closing of the Burnsville, MN office. However, Mr. Pomije is now asserting an employment agreement did indeed exist 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 has been fully accrued for by the Company. Mr. Pomije filed a lawsuit against the Company on December 5, 2016.

 

Notes Payable – Related Party

 

On April 22, 2014, the Company signed an unsecured promissory note with Mr. Pomije, for a working capital loan of $75,000, due in one year at an annual interest rate of 5%. On December 1, 2014, the Company signed an additional unsecured promissory note with Mr. Pomije for a working capital loan of $10,000 due in one year at an annual interest rate of 4%. On August 14, 2014, the Company made a $10,000 principal payment on the first note payable leaving a remaining principal balance of $75,000 on the two notes payable. On April 3, 2015, the Company signed a third unsecured promissory note with Mr. Pomije for a working capital loan of $15,000 due in one year at an annual interest rate of 4%. In May 2015, the Company paid off all three notes payable. All accrued interest was paid in full in fiscal 2016.

 

Common Stock Subscriptions Receivable and Deferred Compensation

 

The Company entered into two agreements, one in 2007 and one in 2010, for stock subscriptions to Mr. Pomije. Pursuant to the terms in the agreements, the Company had a common stock subscriptions receivable due from Mr. Pomije.

 

 
43
 
Table of Contents

 

In addition, at various times in 2014 and 2015, Mr. Pomije elected to forego a portion of his salary due to the Company’s limited operating funds. On May 11, 2015, Mr. Pomije agreed to accept a stock subscription receivable in lieu of his deferred officer accrued compensation. The total balance recorded as deferred officer compensation at May 11, 2015, was $331,849. As a result of the difference between the amount recorded for stock subscription receivable and deferred officer compensation, the Company recorded a loss on conversion of deferred officer compensation into equity of $293,633 in May 2015.

 

As part of a settlement in May 2015, the total stock subscription net balance due was forgiven and reduced from $625,482 to $0.

 

Note 16. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Goodwill

 

The carrying value of goodwill at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 was $0. During the year, the Company made an acquisition which resulted in $1,384,480 of goodwill being recorded.

 

Intangible assets

 

The carrying value of intangible assets at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 was $0. During fiscal 2017, the Company acquired $352,552 of intangible assets, including $224,240 of domain name rights, $77,295 of customer base, $30,842 of IP/Technology, $19,475 of trade-name and marks, and $700 of non-compete agreements. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded $12,023 of amortization expense related to intangible assets.

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into agreements to purchase domain name rights with five individuals. In exchange for the domain name rights, the Company issued 369,750 common shares and paid $69,500 in cash. The total fair value of the shares was $154,740 based on the respective domain name purchase agreements date and the closing market price on that date.

 

2017 Impairment

 

We evaluate our goodwill and intangible assets for an impairment on an annual basis each fiscal year end. Based upon our review and analysis, we deemed all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2017 as fully impaired as of February 28, 2017. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,725,009 in fiscal 2017. This reflects the full amount of goodwill and the unamortized balance of the intangible assets.

 

Note 17. Subsequent Events

 

On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a one year lease for 1,500 square feet of office space located in is in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Gross rent is approximately $1,650 per month plus $95 for HVAC expenses. The total rent commitment is $20,940.

 

On May 1, 2017, the Company, through its Rezserve subsidiary, entered into a month-to-month lease for 500 square feet of office space in Vancouver, British Columbia. Gross rent is approximately $1,347 per month plus applicable taxes. In addition, we are responsible for various operating costs, such as telephone and utilities. The lease agreement can be terminated by either party with 30 days notice.

 

There were no additional significant subsequent events through June 13, 2017, the date the financial statements were issued.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by DigitalTown, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is the last day in February. Our current fiscal year ends on February 28, 2018 and we refer to it as “fiscal 2018”. Last year, our fiscal year ended on February 28, 2017 and we refer to this year as “fiscal 2017”.

 

Note 2. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company was founded in 1982 under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Command Small Computer Learning Center, Inc., a computer training company and operated under several different names in the computer hardware and training sector. In 2005, the Company began acquiring domain names. On March 1, 2007, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. and developed 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, Washington. The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol of DGTW.

 

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 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. See Note 3 for further information.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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 sale of hosting services and software usage, predominantly by the fully owned subsidiary, Rezserve Technlogies Ltd. 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 November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017 of $5,423 and $23,219, 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.

 

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 an 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. Based upon our review and analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we deemed all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2017 as fully impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,725,009 in fiscal 2017.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

 

·

Persuasive evidence that a business relationship exists

 

·

Delivery has occurred

 

·

The price is fixed and determinable

 

·

Collectability is reasonably assured

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of display advertising appearing on specific pages of individual sites within the DigitalTown network platform. Display advertising is sold by the Company directly to local merchants and placed by the Company on specific pages of individual sites targeted by the local merchant. The terms of these sales are either for a fixed monthly amount for a period ranging from three months to one year or variable based on a percentage of the per click or per-impression revenue generated by these ads.

 

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.

 

As of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, 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 the first nine months of fiscal 2018 or the fiscal year 2017.

 

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 November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, 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 November 30, 2017, the Company had no bank deposit accounts in excess of federally insured limits. At February 28, 2017, the Company had one bank deposit account in excess of federally insured limits.

 

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 is capitalized. See Note 5 for further information.

Table of Contents

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the term of the related lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. As items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income. See Note 4 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 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 November 30, 2017 or February 28, 2017. 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

 

Use of equity for compensation, including restricted stock, stock options and stock warrants, is a material part of the Company’s near-term compensation 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.

 

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.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period related to the advertising. The Company incurred $11,275 in advertising expense during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, compared to $5,645 during the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements. The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.

 

 
51
 
Table of Contents

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 which requires us to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of additional stock compensation expense and paid-in capital for all periods in fiscal year 2016. Additional amendments to the recognition of excess tax benefits, accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016, where the cumulative effect of these changes are required to be recorded. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date by one year with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 unless we elect the earlier date of January 1, 2017. In addition, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12 in March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016, respectively, to help provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in ASC Topic 606. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition, and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

 

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.

 

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 3. 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.

 

At November 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,513,287. 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 November 30, 2018. 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.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company retired $512,212 of fully depreciated equipment and furniture. Depreciation expense for the first nine months of fiscal years 2018 and 2017 was $3,970 and $2,784, respectively.

 

Note 5. Prepaid Domain Names

 

During the first nine months of fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $674,202 and $67,018, respectively, of annual domain name renewal fees, which range between $0.25 and $7.85 per domain name. These amounts were recorded as prepaid domain name renewal fees, and are then amortized over a period of one year on a straight-lined basis. During the first nine months of fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $244,171 and $49,587 of expense as cost of revenues related to this amortization. As of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, the Company has $476,443 and $105,775, respectively, of remaining prepaid domain name renewal fees recorded on the balance sheet. See Note 9 for information on Related Party activity within Prepaid Domain Names.

 

Note 6. Accrued Expenses, Deferred Revenue and Domain Marketing Development Obligation

 

Accrued Expenses

 

On February 10, 2016, Robert Monster, CEO converted $129,231 of his accrued salary into 1,292,310 shares of the Company’s stock and 1,292,310 stock options with an exercise price of $0.15 and a vesting period of 12 months. The shares and options were valued on the conversion date in the amounts of $109,846 and $19,385, respectively. As the aggregate value of the shares and warrants were equal to the conversion amount of accrued salary, no gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction. As of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, the accrued salary owed to Robert Monster was $0 and $20,000, respectively.

 

See Note 16 for information related to the Accrued Compensation of $260,899 related to a former officer of the company.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company signed three customer agreements to perform digital support and development services for three third party companies. Each customer agreement consists of milestones and completion metrics to ensure that the requested services have been performed satisfactorily. As of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, the Company has collected $190,000 and $180,000 in cash and recorded $0 and $10,000 in accounts receivable related to these contracts. As the services requested by the customers have not yet been completed, a total of $170,000 and $190,000 has been recorded as deferred revenue as of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, respectively.

 

Domain Marketing Development Obligation

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company signed top-level domain marketing development fund agreements with owners of 13 domains 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 November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, the Company has collected $628,322 and $0 in cash related to these contracts. As some of the services requested by the owners have not yet been completed, a total of $552,708 and $0 has been recorded as domain marketing development obligation as of November 30, 2017, and February 28, 2017, respectively.

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

 

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

 

Fiscal 2018 Stock Transactions

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, $1,188,897 of vesting related to restricted stock grants was recorded as stock payable. This includes seven new grants to employees during the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

 

On October 27, 2017, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of CityInformation B.V. (CityInformation). CityInformation, based in Amsterdam (Netherlands), develops and operates mobile apps for cities and towns worldwide. The Company granted 2,833,333 shares of its common stock to the existing owners of CityInformation. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date was $0.29 per share, therefore, the fair value of common stock issued was $821,667. The stock was issued in October 2017.

 

On July 1, 2017, the Company closed on an agreement and plan of share exchange for the acquisition of Comencia, Inc., a related party Company, which was partly owned by an officer of the Company. The Company granted 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to the existing owners of Comencia, Inc. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date was $0.30 per share, therefore, the fair value of common stock issued was $750,000.

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company issued 8,039,382 shares of stock related to stock payable as of February 28, 2017.

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company sold 3,351,250 shares of its common stock for $554,500. 745,000 shares have been issued. The remaining shares have not been issued and are recorded as stock payable of $352,500 as of November 30, 2017.

 

Fiscal 2017 Stock Transactions

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company issued 6,999,707 shares of stock to various investors and accrued $800,500 of stock payable for cash of $2,377,950.

 

Included in the above, are an aggregate of 435,000 shares which were sold to the Company’s chairman and a related party investor at terms below the market price and share prices available other investors at the time of the sales. As a result, the Company recorded additional stock compensation expense of $30,450 to additional paid in capital to account for the preferential common share pricing.

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company issued 775,000 shares and recorded a stock payable of $845,600 to directors and consultants for services provided to the Company. The value of the shares issued was $1,217,600 based on the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into agreements to purchase domain name rights with three individuals.

The stock options may be granted to officers and employees of the Company. Options granted under the 2006 Plan have exercise prices and vesting terms approved 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 exercise period 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 has 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.

 

No stock options were granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. One board member exercised 200,000 stock options at $0.10 per share during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 for $20,000 cash, which was received by the Company.

Transactions with Former Officer and Current Shareholder

 

The Company has had several transactions with Richard Pomije, its former CEO, CFO and Chairman, including notes payable – related party, common stock subscription receivable and deferred compensation. See Note 16 for more information about these transactions.

 

Note 10. 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 $14,337,562 as of November 30, 2017 that will offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2036. 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 November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017:

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims and legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

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 one year term from May 18, 2015 to May 17, 2016 was due in addition to a stock subscription receivable, and that the failure to provide written notice at end of the one-year obligated the Company to pay for an additional year under the agreement. Mr. Pomije claims the Company owes him $260,900, which has been fully accrued for by the Company. See Note 17 for additional information about transactions between the Company and its former officer.

As of February 29, 2016, the Company was owed $5,000 for stock issued and had accrued an additional $7,150 for stock which was payable during the 2017 fiscal year under the employment agreement with Robert Monster. The total amount of $12,150 was satisfied in full in fiscal 2017.

 

Note 13. 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 first nine months of fiscal years 2018 and 2017:

CityInformation, B.V. Acquisition

 

On October 27, 2017, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of CityInformation.

The Company granted 2,833,333 shares of its common stock to the existing owners of CityInformation. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date was $0.29 per share, therefore, the fair value of common stock issued was $821,667. The stock was issued in November 2017.

 

This acquisition was accounted for using the replacement cost method, where the cost to replace or recreate the subject asset is estimated. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and CityInformation.

The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date was $0.30 per share, therefore, the fair value of common stock issued was $750,000. As part of the closing of this agreement, the Company made a cash payment and issued a note receivable from Comencia for $55,000. The terms of the note include payable on demand within 30 days of notice and a 3.0% annual interest rate. This note was partially repaid in the second quarter and has a remaining balance of $45,000.

Appointment.com Acquisition

 

On December 1, 2016, the Company acquired all assets related to Appointment.com, Inc. (“Appointment”), an online scheduling software system based in Seattle, Washington. This transaction is considered related party since Epik LLC is a controlling owner of Appointment and the Company’s CEO, Rob Monster, is the controlling owner of Epik LLC. The purchase price pursuant to an asset purchase agreement was 1,625,000 common shares. Due to the related party nature of the transaction, the Company did not record any goodwill related to the transaction. The sum of $122,705, which reflects the cost basis of the liabilities assumed, and the stock value of $731,500 is $853,955 and was recognized as expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2017. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and Appointment.

 

The allocation of the purchase price to assets based upon fair value determinations was as follows:

Rezserve Technologies Ltd. Acquisition

 

On September 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for 100% of Rezserve Technologies, Ltd. (Rezserve), a travel industry software company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Rezserve in consideration for a total purchase price of $1,480,000. This price was paid with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a $400,000 secured convertible note payable to Rezserve’s founder Clint Skidmore. The terms of the note include interest at 0% per annum. Principal is due and payable within one year of September 13, 2016. The Company imputed interest expense of $19,040 related to the $400,000 convertible note payable – related party as an increase in additional paid in capital during fiscal 2017. See Note 14 for more information about the convertible note payable – related party.

 

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting, given that substantially all of Rezserve’s assets and ongoing operations were acquired. The purchase resulted in $1,445,292 of impairment expense. This was due to the use of common stock by the Company to pay for the acquisition and the corresponding the value of the stock was in excess of the fair value of the assets received. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and the Rezserve owner.

 

According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $1,445,292 related to this acquisition in fiscal 2017.

Note 15. Long-Term Debt

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

On October 30, 2017 and November 30, 2017, the Company received $75,000 and $55,000 respectively in cash from PowerUp Lending related to a secured convertible note. The notes have an interest rate of 12.0% and are due and payable in one year, at which time they can be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of 61% of the market price. The net balance of the beneficial conversion feature was $83,115 as of November 30, 2017. The net balance of these notes as of November 30, 2017 is $48,922.

 

On June 9, 2017, the Company received $500,000 in cash related to an unsecured convertible note with its chairman. The note has an interest rate of 8.0% and is due and payable in two years, at which time it can be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The beneficial conversion feature associated with this note was $300,000, which is being amortized over the life of the note. The net balance of the beneficial conversion feature was $228,493 as of November 30, 2017. The net balance of this note was $271,507 as of November 30, 2017.

 

On September 14, 2016, subject to a stock purchase agreement, the Company signed a secured convertible note of $400,000 with Clint Skidmore, founder of Rezserve Technology Ltd (“Rezserve”). The interest free note is due on demand, at which time it can be converted into up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. The Company evaluated the note and determined that as the fixed exercise price exceeded the closing market price on the note issuance date, that no beneficial conversion feature was present. The imputed interest expense of $30,000 related to the $400,000 note payable was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital during the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

 

The Company evaluated the convertible notes and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion options were determinate due to the fixed conversion price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has sufficient authorized shares.

 

Promissory Notes Payable

 

Between July 20, 2017 and July 27, 2017, the Company received an aggregate of $450,000 in cash payments related to four unsecured promissory notes with its chairman, another director, and two third party shareholders. The interest free notes are due and payable in two years. In conjunction with these notes, the Company issued 4,000,000 of warrants with exercise prices of $0.10 to $0.15 per share. The total value of the stock warrants issued was $450,000 and established a discount to the notes. This discount is being amortized over the life of each note. The net balance of the discount was $369,452 as of November 30, 2017. The net balance of the notes as of November 30, 2017 was $80,548.

Note 16. Transactions with Former Officer and Current Shareholder

 

The Company was founded in 1982 by Richard Pomije. On May 17, 2015, Mr. Pomije resigned as CEO of the Company and on June 1, 2015, he resigned as the CFO and Chairman. At the time of his resignation, the Company and the Board of Directors were not aware of any continuing employment agreement. The Company released Mr. Pomije on September 11, 2015 concurrent with his closing of the Burnsville, MN office. However, Mr. Pomije is now asserting an employment agreement did indeed exist and a continuing obligation of the Company in the form of a monthly salary for a one year term from May 18, 2015 to May 17, 2016 was due in addition to a stock subscription receivable, and that the failure to provide written notice at end of the one-year obligated the Company to pay for an additional year under the agreement. Mr. Pomije claims the Company owes him $260,900, which has been fully accrued for by the Company. Mr. Pomije filed a lawsuit against the Company on December 5, 2016.

 

Note 17. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Goodwill

 

The carrying value of goodwill at November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017 was $436,667 and $0, respectively.

 

On October 27, 2017, the Company acquired CityInformation, a company that develops and operates mobile apps for cities and towns worldwide. The goodwill associated with this transaction was $436,667.

 

Intangible assets

 

The carrying value of intangible assets at November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017 was $378,583 and $0, respectively.

 

On October 27, 2017, the Company acquired $385,000 of intangible assets related to its CityInformation acquisition, including $250,000 of App Portfolio developed technology and $135,000 of App Handles developed technology. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $6,417 of amortization expense related to intangible assets.

 

2017 Impairment

 

We evaluate our goodwill and intangible assets for an impairment on an annual basis each fiscal year end. Based upon our review and analysis, we deemed all of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2017 as fully impaired as of February 28, 2017. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,725,009 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. This reflects the full amount of goodwill and the unamortized balance of the intangible assets.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota for each person who becomes a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or his testator, or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or served any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign in any capacity at the request of the corporation. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

 

(1.)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i.) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii.) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii.) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

 

(2.) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

 

 

 

(3.) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

 

 

 

 

(4.) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 

 

 

(5.) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 

(i.) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 

 

 

(ii.) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

 

 

(iii.) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

 

 

 

(iv.) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Section 9.3 METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS . All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

 

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of Section 9.2 against an Indemnifying Party, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a “ Claim Notice ”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the “ Dispute Period ”) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

 

(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof ; provided , however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided , further , that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 9.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

 
 
 
 

 

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

 

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 9.2 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided , however , that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

 

 
 
 
 

 

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 9.2 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an “ Indemnity Notice ”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

 

(c) The Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.

 

(d) The indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may be subject to.

The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

b. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

 

c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered . In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. Unless the Registration Period has ended, in the event that any of the Capital Call Shares are not included in the Registration Statement, or have not been included in any New Registration Statement and the Company files any other registration statement under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4, Form S-8, or with respect to other employee related plans or rights offerings) (“ Other Registration Statement ”) then the Company shall include in such Other Registration Statement first all of such Capital Call Shares that have not been previously registered, and second any other securities the Company wishes to include in such Other Registration Statement. Unless the Registration Period has ended, the Company agrees that it shall not file any such Other Registration Statement unless all of the Capital Call Shares have been included in such Other Registration Statement or otherwise have been registered for resale as described above.

 

d. Offering . If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff’) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Unless the Registration Period has ended, in the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

 
 
 
 

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS .

 

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

 

b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

 

c. Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

 

d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under such other securities or “ blue sky ” laws of California, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of California or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

 
 
 
 

 

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

 

f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

 

h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

 

i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post¬effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.

 

k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

l. Within three (3) Business Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A . Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

 

m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

 

 
 
 
 

 

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR .

 

a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any registration statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

b. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement hereunder.

 

c. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION .

 

All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION .

 

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “ Claims ”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “ blue sky ” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“ Blue Sky Filing ”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

 
 
 
 

 

b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effectuated without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

c. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

d. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

 
 
 
 

 

7. CONTRIBUTION .

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS .

 

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“ Rule 144 ”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

 

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b. use reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

 

c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

 

d. take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

 

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company.

 

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

 

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

_____________, 2018

 

Re: [__________]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to DIGITALTOWN, INC. , a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2018 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), entered into by and between the Company and TRITON FUNDS LP (the “ Buyer ”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Buyer shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “ Common Stock ”), in an amount up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “ Capital Call Shares ”), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission the following shares of Common Stock:

 

(1) Capital Call Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon purchase from the Company by the Buyer from time to time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, of even date with the Purchase Agreement with the Buyer (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Capital Call Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [__________], 2018, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[__________]) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) relating to the resale of the Capital Call Shares.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [__________] [A.M./P.M.] on [__________], 2018 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Capital Call Shares are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may be issued without any restrictive legend.

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

[Company Counsel]
