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, 2018 and February 28, 2017, 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, 2018 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2017
During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded revenues of $327,335 and cost of revenues of $1,031,344 for a gross loss of $(704,009) compared to revenues of $165,591 and cost of revenues of $473,056 for a gross loss of $(307,065) during fiscal 2017. For fiscal 2018, revenues mainly consisted of development fees related to our SmartCity platform and activities from our Rezserve and Comencia subsidiaries. Cost of revenues consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $675,242 and $82,370, development expense of $354,121 and $390,686, for the two fiscal years, respectively.
The Company’s operating expenses are currently all related to selling, general and administrative activity. These expenses were $7,443,296 in fiscal 2018 compared to $5,168,512 in fiscal 2017, an increase of $2,274,784. There was one significant driver of this increase and it was a non-cash expense. Our stock-based compensation expense was $3,524,123 for fiscal 2018 as compared to $2,455,587 for fiscal 2017, an increase of $1,068,536. In addition, our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in domain name renewal fees of $592,872, and an increase in contractor expense of $254,200.
The Company’s overall net loss for the current year increased by $3,023,770 to $10,243,396. The increase was mainly due to the increase in stock compensation expense and the increase in general and administrative items as detailed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s cash position at February 28, 2018 was $58,712, a decrease of $480,531 from $539,243 at February 28, 2017. During fiscal 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $3,162,324 compared to cash used of $1,934,540 for the fiscal 2017. When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $1,227,784 for fiscal 2018 is primarily due to an increase of cash operating expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $139,169 and $40,504 for fiscal years 2018 and 2017, respectively. In fiscal 2018, the Company invested in two acquisitions to enhance its Smart City platform.
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2018, was $2,817,732, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and borrowings from convertible and promissory notes. For fiscal 2017, the Company received net cash provided by financing activities of $2,377,950, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Monthly cash operating expenses for fiscal 2018, were approximately $300,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $325,000 per month, which includes the monthly cost for the renewal of the existing domain names of approximately $30,000.
We believe our current cash reserves, the amounts we expect from future proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and the sale of existing domain names should be sufficient to enable us to operate for the next 12 months. In the event that we are unable to operate profitably, raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock or sell existing domain names on acceptable terms, we would be forced to further reduce operating expenses or cease operations altogether.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Effective March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017.
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.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Digitaltown, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digitaltown, Inc. (the Company) as of February 28, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended February 28, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2018 and 2017
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, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,593,820. 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, 2019. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital in the future, the Company would reduce operating expenses or cease operations altogether.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalTown, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in United States (U.S.) dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Proceeds from related party notes payable received in the prior period have been reclassified from the prior period classification. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or accumulated deficit for any year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arise from the software licensing of our Rezserve subsidiary. 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, 2018 and February 28, 2017 of $5,456 and $23,219, respectively. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded $114,829 of bad debt expense due mostly to new customers from the Rezserve acquisition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2018 and 2017
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 2018 as fully impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,721,760. In fiscal 2017, recognized an impairment expense of $1,725,009.
Revenue Recognition
Effective March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017.
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
|
|
·
|
Collectibility 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2018 and 2017
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, 2018, 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 fiscal 2018 or fiscal 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 February 28, 2018, 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 February 28, 2018, the Company had no uninsured cash balances. 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 are capitalized. See Note 4 for further information.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years. The Company recorded $6,022 and $2,782 of depreciation expense for fiscal years 2018 and 2017, 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.
DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2018 and 2017
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, 2018 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, 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”)). ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. Subsequent to the initial standards, the FASB has also issued several ASUs to clarify specific revenue recognition topics. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2019.
The Company will adopt using the modified retrospective approach to initially apply the update and recognize the remaining contract value at the date of application. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on its total cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not elected early adoption of this standard and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended February 28, 2018 and 2017
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, 2018 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,885,896. 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, 2019. 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.

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 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,035,159 stock options with a fair value of $151,627 to 1 officer, 6 employees and 2 contractors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at prices of $0.10. All options vested immediately and are exercisable for one year.
During fiscal 2018, 1,292,310 of previously issued stock options to 1 officer expired, and 200,000 stock options previously issued to another officer were exercised for $20,000 cash.

The Company released Mr. Pomije on September 11, 2015 concurrent with his closing of the Burnsville, MN office.
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.

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 $15,888,098 as of February 28, 2018 that will offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2038. 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.

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 had been fully accrued for by the Company as of February 28, 2017.
On April 18, 2018, Mr. Richard Pomije was granted a judgement for the lawsuit he filed against the Company on December 5, 2016. Mr. Pomije was awarded $256,488 as damages, and $296,488 as attorney’s fees and costs, for a total award of $552,976. As at February 28, 2018, $552,976 has been accrued as payable to Mr. Pomije. The Company is in the process of filing an appeal. See Note 15 for additional information about transactions between the Company and its former officer.
Lease Commitments
As of February 28, 2018, 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 $2,600 per month.
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 28, 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. No amounts are outstanding for fiscal 2018.
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.

During fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, the Company made three acquisitions which resulted in $549,667 and $1,317,680 of goodwill being recorded, and subsequently impaired, respectively. See Note 13 for more information about acquisitions.
Intangible assets
The carrying value of intangible assets at February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017 was $0. During fiscal 2018, the Company acquired $1,237,000 of intangible assets, including $432,000 of code base and databases, $420,000 of platform and code base, $250,000 of app portfolios, and $135,000 of app handles.

Impairments
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 2018 as fully impaired as of February 28, 2018. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,721,760 in fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2017, we recognized an impairment of $1,725,009. This reflects the full amount of goodwill and the unamortized balance of the intangible assets each year.

DigitalTown, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2018 and 2017
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, 2018.
The Company’s fiscal year end is the last day in February. Our current fiscal year ends on February 28, 2019 and we refer to it as “fiscal 2019”. Last year, our fiscal year ended on February 28, 2018 and we refer to this year as “fiscal 2018”.
Note 2. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
:
Nature of Business
The Company was founded in 1982 under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Command Small Computer Learning Center, Inc., a computer training company and operated under several different names in the computer hardware and training sector. In 2005, the Company began acquiring domain names. On March 1, 2007, the Company changed its name to DigitalTown, Inc. and began developing a business plan to develop a platform to monetize 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 May 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,142,038. 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, 2019. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital in the future, the Company would reduce operating expenses or cease operations altogether.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalTown, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in United States (U.S.) dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Proceeds from related party notes payable received in the prior period have been reclassified from the prior period classification. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or accumulated deficit for any year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arise from the software licensing of our Rezserve subsidiary. 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 May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018 of $5,389 and $5,456, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to completed acquisitions. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized but instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if necessary.
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 2018 as fully impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment expense of $1,721,760.
Revenue Recognition
Effective March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended May 31, 2018 and the twelve months ended February 28, 2018.
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
|
|
·
|
Collectibility 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.
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 May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the Company does not have any financial instruments that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 or the fiscal year 2018.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Cash Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company and currently have insurance coverage up to $250,000. At May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the Company did not have any deposit accounts 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.
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 $1,842 and $1,300 of depreciation expense for first quarters of fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. As items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income. See Note 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 May 31, 2018 or February 28, 2018. In accordance with the FASB guidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, interest related to the underpayment of income taxes will be classified as a component of interest expense and any related penalties will be classified in operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company has three open years of tax returns subject to examination.
Stock-Based Compensation, Including Options and Warrants
Use of equity for compensation is a material part of the Company’s near-term strategy. The Company recognizes the cost of stock-based compensation plans and awards in operations on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of the awards. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This option pricing model involves a number of assumptions, including the expected lives of stock options, the volatility of the public market price for the Company’s common stock and interest rates. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”)). ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. Subsequent to the initial standards, the FASB has also issued several ASUs to clarify specific revenue recognition topics. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2019.
The Company will adopt using the modified retrospective approach to initially apply the update and recognize the remaining contract value at the date of application. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on its total cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not elected early adoption of this standard and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, ”Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
The Company believes there are no other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Note 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 May 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,142,038. 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 May 31, 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 5. Prepaid Domain Names
During the first quarters of fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $19,001 and $81,702, respectively, of annual domain name renewal fees, specifically related to .CITY registrations. These amounts were recorded as prepaid domain name renewal fees, and are then amortized over one year on a straight-line basis. During the first quarters of fiscal years 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $54,574 and $59,053 of expense as cost of revenues related to this amortization. As of May 31, 2018, and February 28, 2018, the Company has $42,451 and $77,977, 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.

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.

Domain Marketing Development Obligation
During fiscal 2018, the Company signed top-level domain marketing development fund agreements with owners of 13 top level domains whereby the Company markets and purchases domain names on behalf of the owners.

As of May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the Company has collected $46,963 and $930,556 in cash related to these contracts. As some of the services requested by the owners have not yet been completed, a total of $192,869 and $145,906 has been recorded as domain marketing development obligation as of May 31, 2018, and February 28, 2018, respectively.

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 May 31, 2018, the Company had 9,044,740 warrants outstanding with an average exercise price of $0.13. The warrants expire between one and ten years from the date of issuance and have a weighted average remaining exercise period as of May 31, 2018 of 5.92 years.
The Company did not issue any warrants during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
During fiscal 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,694,740 warrants to various investors, consultants and employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10. All warrants vested immediately at the date of issuance. 4,000,000 warrants are exercisable through 2027. 30,000 warrants are exercisable through 2026. 2,964,740 warrants are exercisable through February 2019.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $0 for all outstanding stock warrants for fiscal quarters 2019 and 2018, respectively. This expense is included in stock-based compensation expense.
Note 8. 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, 2018, 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.
The Company did not issue any stock options during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
During fiscal 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,035,159 stock options with a fair value of $151,627 to 1 officer, 6 employees and 2 contractors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at prices of $0.10. All options vested immediately and are exercisable for one year.
During fiscal 2018, 1,292,310 of previously issued stock options to 1 officer expired, and 200,000 stock options previously issued to another officer were exercised for $20,000 cash.
The Company utilized the following key assumptions in computing the fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes pricing model:

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

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 $17,132,786 as of May 31, 2018 that will offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2037. 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 May 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018:

The lease is month-to-month with either party able to terminate the lease with 30 days of notice. Gross rent is approximately $2,600 per month.
Note 12. 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 May 31, 2018, the company does not have any stock subscription agreements outstanding.
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 quarter of fiscal years 2019 and 2018:

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 ends on February 28, 2019 and we refer to it as “fiscal 2019”. Last year, our fiscal year ended on February 28, 2018 and we refer to this year as “fiscal 2018”.
Market Opportunity
We provide an integrated search, community, and commerce platform for both web and mobile devices. DigitalTown powers connected online communities that enable members of a community to find information and acquire the goods and services they need locally when possible. The DigitalTown platform is intended to improve how the local economy consumes and transacts. It does this by helping local community citizens interact with city government, as well as local merchants. Residents and visitors are able to use the DigitalTown powered search engine to access content, community and commerce from an easy search tool. If there are local vendors that can fulfill a product or service that relates to a search term, then those options are presented to the user. Local vendors can also become direct merchants on the platform, effectively allowing the local town to be its own hub for mass commerce.
The Strategic Importance of Local Online Economic Development
The DigitalTown platform elevates local communities to an advanced state of technical capability. To date, most cities have historically taken a hands-off approach towards the Internet. However, we believe city management will further consider the Internet as an integral part of their strategic plan for economic growth.
The continued expansion of big box retailers and steep growth of national eCommerce has created an increased number of challenges for locally owned small businesses. This requires a new approach to online economic development – one that equips local merchants with the means to compete locally and sell nationally. DigitalTown provides a cost-effective solution to help local businesses compete against entities with greater reach, scale and resources.
Why the DigitalTown solution makes sense now
The DigitalTown platform is a cost-effective solution for enabling a community to become a smart community, which we define as connected to shared content and local commerce. A key enabler for this capability is the continued growth of smartphones that are powered by common frameworks, such as Apple iOS and Android. The use of smartphones has enabled individuals to communicate and transact in real-time anywhere they choose using their smartphone, which serves as a proxy for identity, reputation, preferences and method of payment. In effect, the smartphone has become the Digital Wallet. We believe this opportunity is global and our approach, which emphasizes public-private partnerships, will enable accelerated adoption particularly in rural communities where trust of technology is lower, the need is potentially the greatest, and economic models are at the greatest risk.
How the DigitalTown SmartCity Platform is part of the new SmartWeb
A core component of the DigitalTown approach is to build branded web destinations that are intuitive to discover. Part of what makes this possible is the emergence of new domain extensions that are descriptive. For example, .CITY routes a visitor to a website about a city and .MENU routes a user to a website about restaurants in that city. Due to management’s long-standing relation with domain registry operators, the Company will seek to bring structure to the emerging landscape of domain extensions, while at the same time emphasizing distribution of a unified mobile application to work as a digital companion alongside the growing network of direct navigation brands.
The DigitalTown Platform
The DigitalTown platform supports powerful online and mobile communities. We tap into locally relevant news and content in order to keep community members informed. We provide community tools to keep community members connected. We enable commerce and fulfillment in local communities thereby helping residents to buy locally while equipping merchants to sell locally, nationally and even globally.
Content Search
The DigitalTown search engine serves as the core of the local experience. Whereas most residents may go once or twice per year to the official city site, the DigitalTown-powered search engine is designed for daily use as a preferred homepage for local residents and businesses. This will be accomplished through a combination of marketing and education to residents. In addition, we believe adoption can happen through building a strong level of trust with the residents, since our platform will be endorsed or supported by the local government whom the residents know. This compares to large national companies with limited to no connection to the local residents.
Community
Consumers are already familiar with social networking through applications like Facebook and Twitter. The integrated DigitalTown web service and mobile app make it easy to stay informed, as well as to connect and communicate with other members of a given community. Community members can message, join groups, shop online, and make payments.
Commerce
The DigitalTown platform provides merchants with a turn-key solution for online commerce. Once the approved merchant loads SKU’s and inventory available for sale, the merchants can begin selling without any setup fees or capital investment costs. Transaction processing services are provided by DigitalTown, thereby eliminating the need for each retailer to secure a merchant processing account. The community may also enable a private currency for use within the community.
Courier and Delivery Management
In a growing number of participating cities, an integrated courier and delivery application is included, enabling approved delivery service providers to be notified about items from merchants to be picked up and delivered to the customer, thereby enabling any approved merchant to also offer delivery services to the end-customer. Delivery time is chosen by the customer and can be hours to days.
Administration
The DigitalTown platform provides integrated administrative tools for managing Content, Community and Commerce, making it easy to administer. The administrative tools are designed to be the back end of the smart community. For example, administrators can create Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that are then presented through the site search. This FAQ article is then systematically provided as information when a user makes an inquiry that matches the keywords into the search box on the site.
Intellectual Property
Domain Name Portfolio
. The Company is developing a proprietary platform for Smart City Management. As part of this platform rollout, the Company has secured approximately 13,000 of the .CITY domains that map to significant population centers. DigitalTown has methodically secured the .CITY domains through both acquisition from existing registrants, or via direct purchase from the operator of the .CITY registrar.
Software
: The Company has developed a proprietary platform for enabling any city to become a Smart City, incorporating advanced features for economic development, community engagement and digital inclusion. In addition, the Company has completed acquisitions of 6 software companies: Cloud.Market, Software Masters, Inc, Rezserve Technologies Ltd, Appointment.com, Comencia Inc, and Congo Ltd., each of which brought significant intellectual property and is in process of being fully integrated into the DigitalTown platform. The Company continues to invest in software with an emphasis on capital efficiency and return on investment.

During first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded revenues of $86,218 and cost of revenues of $525,328 for a gross loss of $439,110 compared to revenues of $80,271 and cost of revenues of $98,608 for a gross loss of $18,337 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. For the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018, revenues mainly consisted of development fees related to our SmartCity platform and activities from our Rezserve and Appointment.com subsidiaries. Cost of revenues consisted of amortization of prepaid annual domain name renewal fees of $302,989 and $48,531, development expense of $221,209 and $50,077, and merchant processing fees of $746 and $2,162, for the fiscal first quarters 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company’s operating expenses are currently all related to selling, general and administrative activity. These expenses were $1,223,618 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $1,073,187 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase of $150,431. A portion of this increase was non-cash related. Our stock-based compensation expense was $436,406 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $346,701 for fiscal 2018, an increase of $90,335. In addition to the non-cash item, our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in contractor expense of $151,028, an increase of $35,460 in hosting and server expenses, and an increase of $69,953 in accounting and advisory fees.
The Company’s overall net loss for the current first quarter increased by $1,154,894 to $2,256,142. The increase was mainly due to an increase in stock compensation expense, an increase in debt and warrant discount amortization, an increase in prepaid annual domain name renewal fees, and the increase in general and administrative items as detailed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s cash position at May 31, 2018 was $20,506, a decrease of $38,206 from $58,712 at February 28, 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $662,436 compared to cash used of $635,925 for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. When comparing the two periods, the increase in cash used in operating activities of $26,511 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 is primarily due to an increase of cash operating expenses.
Net cash received used in investing activities was $98,656 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to net cash used of $26,423 for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company received cash from the sale of certain digital currencies.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $526,950, compared to $162,500 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which consisted mainly of proceeds from the sale of common stock.
Monthly cash operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, were approximately $325,000 per month. Based on current projections, the Company’s monthly cash operating expenses going forward should be approximately $375,000 per month, which includes the monthly cost for the renewal of the existing domain names. In the period from June 1, 2018 through July 16, 2018, the Company did not enter into stock purchase agreements of restricted common shares.
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 5 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.
