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.

Years Ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016
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.
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.
DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016
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.
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.

Years Ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016
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 4. Prepaid Domain Names
During the fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $165,573 and $127,005, 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 one year on a straight-lined basis. During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $81,001 and $166,312 of expense as cost of revenues related to this amortization. As of February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company has $105,775 and $21,203, respectively, of remaining prepaid domain name renewal fees recorded on the balance sheet. See Note 8 for information on Related Party activity within Prepaid Domain Names.
Note 5. Accrued Expenses and Deferred Revenue
Accrued Expenses
On 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 February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the accrued salary owed to Robert Monster was $20,000 and $0, respectively.
See Note 15 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 construction 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 and to the customers' full expectations. As of February 28, 2017, the Company has collected $190,000 in cash. As the services requested by the customers have not yet been completed, the total of $190,000 has been recorded as deferred revenue as of February 28, 2017.

Stock Warrants
The Company has regularly used warrants as a tool to attract and compensate advisors and directors of the board rather than to use cash. The Company feels this is an appropriate way to conserve cash and to incentivize its board of directors, advisors and consultants.
As of February 28, 2017, the Company had 4,660,000 warrants outstanding with an average exercise price of $0.14. The warrants expire between one and ten years from the date of issuance and have a weighted average remaining exercise period as of February 28, 2017 of 4.15 years.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $11,948 and $388,532 for all outstanding stock warrants for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. This expense is included in stock-based compensation expense.
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.

Prepaid Domain Names
During the fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $127,005 and $190,755, respectively, for annual domain name renewal fees. The amounts paid for the annual domain name renewal fees are paid directly to Epik, LLC (“Epik”), a company which is controlled by Robert Monster, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Epik, then uses those funds to directly pay Verisign and ICANN companies for the annual domain renewal costs, which range between $0.25 and $7.85, respectively, per domain name. The costs paid to Epik are at terms similar or better than what Epik charges its other clients, which reflects the market rates of $0.25 to $7.85 for domain names.
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 purchase price pursuant to an asset purchase agreement was 1,625,000 shares of common stock. This amount was paid with the issuance of 1,625,000 shares of our common stock, of which 536,364 shares were issued to Mr. Monster’s company. Due to the related party nature of the transaction, the Company did not record any goodwill related to the transaction and assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at cost. The difference between the cost of the assets received and the purchase price is recognized as compensation expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The agreement included customary representations, warranties, and covenants by us and Appointment. See Note 11 for additional information.
Sales of Common Stock
During fiscal 2017, the Company sold 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.

Transactions with Former Officer
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.

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:

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.

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.
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.
