OCEAN VENTURES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2003
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated on November 22, 1996, under the Business Corporations Act of the Province of Alberta. On January 31, 2000, the Company changed its name to Ocean Ventures Inc. At November 30, 2003, substantially all of the Company's assets and operations are located and conducted in Canada.
The Company's shares are quoted for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America. The Company ceased its prior business on November 30, 1999 and has been investigating new business ventures since September 1, 1999. On October 7, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Digital Youth Network Inc. ("DYNI"), a private company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on October 4, 2001 and continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 12, 2002. DYNI's operations, at present, focus on the distribution of cellular phones and accessories to the 13 to 18 years of age group so as to be able to communicate with and generate advertising revenue via text messaging to this group.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $949,787 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. As at November 30, 2003, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $436,044. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by issuing equity securities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
10
Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements may not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 2004.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and DYNI.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and DYNI.
On October 7, 2003, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, the Company acquired 99.996% of the outstanding shares of DYNI. The acquisition of DYNI has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, whereby DYNI have been identified as the acquirer in a reverse acquisition (Note 6). As a result, the comparative amounts shown are those of DYNI as at August 31, 2003 and for the three-month period ended November 30, 2002 and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity includes DYNI share transactions from the date of inception of DYNI on October 4, 2001.
Inventory
Inventory consists of cellular phone parts and accessories and prepaid airtime for cellular phone usage. Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost and market.
Capital Assets and Amortization
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization has been calculated using the following annual rates and methods:
Cellular phones | 12 months straight-line |
Computer and office equipment | 30% declining balance |
Text messaging software | 12 months straight-line |
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109") which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards 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.

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the years. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be antidilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's operating subsidiary, DYNI, translates amounts from the functional currency, Canadian dollars, into the reporting currency, United States dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate which may give rise to a cumulative translation adjustment.
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date. All related exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, share subscriptions receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures, advances payable and due to shareholders approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation following APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and provide the disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".

a)Reverse Acquisition
Pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated July 21, 2003 and amended October 1, 2003, the Company issued 3,174,152 common shares (including a finders' fee of 500,000 shares) and has agreed to issue 100,000 share purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.25 per warrant for one common share until October, 2003, for all 10,697,008 of the outstanding shares of DYNI. As a result of this share exchange, the shareholders of DYNI acquired control of the Company and consequently DYNI is deemed to be the acquirer. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, as a reverse acquisition in which a recapitalization results whereby DYNI is deemed to have acquired the net assets of the Company at their fair market value at the date of acquisition as follows:

A non-cash compensation charge of $18,700, associated with the granting of the 250,000 options has been recognized in the financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2003. These options expire on October 7, 2008.
The fair value for those options was estimated at the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:
Volatility factor of expected market price of company's shares | 5% |
Dividend yield | 0% |
Weighted-average expected life of stock options | 5 years |
Risk-free interest rate | 3% |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including share price volatility. The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates.

Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "Ocean Ventures" mean Ocean Ventures Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary Digital Youth Network Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.
General
Ocean Ventures Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 22, 1996 under the name "CallDirect Capital Corp.". We changed our name to "Ocean Ventures Inc." on January 31, 2000, and at the same time completed a consolidation of our then issued and outstanding common shares on a 5:1 basis, effective January 27, 2001. We are also registered as an extra-provincial company in the Province of British Columbia, and are a reporting issuer under the securities laws of both the province of Alberta and the province of British Columbia.
From our incorporation until May, 1999, we were a direct reseller of telecommunication products. Pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") between CallDirect Enterprises Inc., formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Healthtrac, Inc., CallDirect sold its direct marketing assets to Heatlthrac, Inc. in exchange for 1,200,000 shares in the capital of Healthtrac, Inc. On September 8, 1999, we sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of CallDirect, and certain intercompany advances owed by CallDirect, to one of our former directors and officers for nominal consideration.
We entered into a share purchase agreement dated July 21, 2003 with Daniel Reitzik, Jason Jaspar, Robert Skoko, Murray Smith, Chris Sargent, Monty Reitzik, George and Sophie Spurr, Robert Foo, Jan Drake, Eddi Sponza, Jon Peters, Raymond Mol, Megan McKenzie, Jennifer McKenzie, Louise Shaw, Debra Mol, Carmol Business Management Ltd. and Conquest Consulting Inc. being all of the shareholders of Digital Youth Network Inc., pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from them all of the 10,697,008 issued and outstanding shares of Digital Youth Network in exchange for 100,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants (to be issued to Jon Peters) and 2,674,252 shares of the common stock of our company to be shared, pro-rata according to their interest in Digital Youth Network, among all of the Digital Youth Network shareholders other than Jon Peters. We also agreed to pay two finder's fees, both payable in common shares of our company, to persons that assisted us in the transaction, for an aggregate f inder's fee of 500,000 common shares of our company. Subsequently, we entered into an amendment to share purchase agreement dated as of October 1, 2003, in which we agreed to attach certain schedules to the share purchase agreement that were inadvertently omitted when we signed the original share purchase agreement, and to make certain other changes to the original document. This amendment to the share purchase agreement was signed
16
by all of the shareholders of Digital Youth Network except Jon Peters, who holds 400, or approximately 0.00374%, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Digital Youth Network.
The transaction closed on October 7, 2003, after the end of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, at which time we acquired all but Jon Peters' 400 shares of Digital Youth Network and we issued an aggregate of 2,674,252 common shares of our company to all of the shareholders of Digital Youth Network except Mr. Peters, and an aggregate of 500,000 shares to finders that assisted our company in the structuring and closing of the transaction. As a result, we now own 10,696,608, or approximately 99.99626%, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Digital Youth Network, and Mr. Peters continues to own 400 shares, or approximately 0.00374%, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Digital Youth Network.
In the share purchase agreement dated as of July 21, 2003, which Mr. Peters signed, Mr. Peters agreed to exchange his 400 common shares of Digital Youth Network Inc. for 100,000 share purchase warrants to be issued by our company on the closing date. Each of these share purchase warrants would, when and if issued, grant to Mr. Peters the right to purchase one share of our company's common stock for a period of one year after the closing date of October 7, 2003, at an exercise price of $0.25. Mr. Peters refused to sign the amendment to the share purchase agreement dated as of October 1, 2003, and he refused to tender his 400 common shares of Digital Youth Network at the closing of the transaction on October 7, 2003. As at the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB we have not decided what, if anything, we will do about Mr. Peters' refusal to complete this transaction on October 7, 2003.
Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, as amended, and at the closing of the transaction on October 7, 2003, we increased the number of our directors from four to six and we appointed Daniel Reitzik and Roland Sartorius to our board of directors, although Mr. Sartorius has since resigned from our board of directors. Although not required to do so by the terms of the share purchase agreement, Mr. Grayson Hand and Dr. Dennis Sinclair resigned from our Board on the closing date of October 7, 2003. Also at closing, Mr. Jerry McKenzie, who continues to be a member of our board of directors, resigned from the office of Secretary of our company and we appointed Mr. Daniel Reitzik as our Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Jason Jaspar as our corporate Secretary. Mr. Reitzik and Mr. Jaspar continue to serve as the President and the General Manager, respectively, of our Digital Youth Network subsidiary.
About Digital Youth Network
Digital Youth Network is a federally incorporated Canadian corporation with its principal place of business currently located at Suite 302, 1040 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6B 2R9. Digital Youth Network was formed as a British Columbia corporation on October 4, 2001, under the name PCS Media Inc. and, on November 12, 2002 it was continued under the federal laws of Canada under the name Digital Youth Network Inc.
Digital Youth Network integrates wireless and Internet technologies and print media to provide services and advertising to North American teenagers between 13 and 18 years of age. The terms "digital youth" and generation "DY" refer to the generation of young people that are currently 13 to 18 years of age. With parental permission, Digital Youth Network provides cellular telephones and related services to its generation DY subscribers through high schools in participating school districts. These cellular telephones provide participating students with free access to 24-hour crisis lines and 911 service, free incoming text messaging from parents and friends when sent through the Digital Youth Network system, low cost prepaid airtime and, more recently, legally downloadable music. Participating schools can send safety alerts and emergency text messages to participating students when necessary. Digital Youth Network also sells to advertisers the opportunity to deliver advertising messages to i ts member students using various combinations of text messaging, email, direct mail to students' homes and via the Internet on one of Digital Youth Networks' web-pages. Low cost prepaid airtime will beavailable to the students through Digital Youth Network's Website located at www.digitalyouth.ca.
Digital Youth Network Inc. implemented a pilot program in Surrey, British Columbia on November 19, 2002, enrolling 4,000 students out of the total target population of 20,000 students. On June 15, 2003, Digital Youth Network completed a distribution agreement with the Toronto School Board that will permit Digital Youth Network Inc. to distribute promotional materials to the approximately 125,000 generation DY students enrolled in Toronto-area schools.
17
In its pilot program in Surrey, British Columbia and its initial entry into the Toronto market area, Digital Youth Network relied on a network of retail store locations to distribute telephone handsets and prepaid air-time to its generation DY subscribers. Experience gained and market research conducted during these launches demonstrated that the use of retail locations for distribution is not currently cost-effective for Digital Youth Network, and Digital Youth Network is now using outsourced home delivery services for distribution, although we continue to explore other viable distribution methods, including the possibility of distributing through "Big Box" retailers.
Digital Youth Network is currently exploring the structure of a relationship with Universal Music that will provide Digital Youth Network with access to a new product and Universal Music with a new channel for distribution of its downloadable music. Universal Music, a division of Universal Studios Canada Ltd., produces, manufactures, markets, sells and distributes recorded music and represents artists from Canada and around the world. Music industry participants have lost substantial revenues over the past few years as a result of file sharing and illegally downloaded music. Industry statistics suggest that the losses to the music industry are equal to approximately 20% of sales. A substantial percentage of the people engaged in this activity are between the ages of 15 and 24. Music industry participants believe that this illegal activity may decrease if more opportunities to purchase music online are made available, and they recently welcomed the launch of the Puretracks® on-line musi c store through which consumers can legally download music.
The Puretracks® music store allows customers to legally download music in a Windows Media Player format 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, members of generation DY will be less likely to use the Puretracks® site because it requires payment by credit card and most 13 to 18 year olds do not have credit cards. The Digital Youth Network can provide a viable alternative for members of generation DY who wish to download music legally by providing the option of payment by deduction from members' pre-paid airtime accounts. Our company is currently exploring how best to integrate legally downloadable music with the other products currently offered by the Digital Youth Network.
Digital Youth Network will derive revenues from membership dues, the sale of advertising (targeted text messaging, email, direct mail, print media and web site), the sale of cellular telephone accessories and airtime, ringtones and legally downloadable music and market research.
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2003 and 2002 should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited annual financial statements, which form part of our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on January 12, 2004, the unaudited interim financial statements forming part of this quarterly report, and, in each case, the notes thereto.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 21 of this quarterly report.
Our consolidated audited financial statements and the pre-acquisition financial statements of our subsidiary (the predecessor) are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Overview
We were incorporated in the Province of Alberta on November 22, 1996. From the date of our incorporation until May, 1999, we were a direct reseller of telecommunication products through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CallDirect Enterprises Inc. In May, 1999, our subsidiary CallDirect Enterprises Inc. sold all of its assets to Healthtrac, Inc. in exchange for 1,200,000 shares in the capital of Healthtrac, Inc. On September 8, 1999, we sold
18
all of the issued and outstanding shares of CallDirect Enterprises Inc., together with certain intercompany advances owed by CallDirect Enterprises Inc., to one of our former directors and officers.
Effective October 7, 2003, we acquired 99.99626% of the issued and outstanding shares of Digital Youth Network Inc., a company incorporated under the federal laws of Canada.
In our new business, we integrate wireless and Internet technologies and print media to provide services and advertising to North American teenagers between 13 and 18 years of age. We provide these teenagers with cellular telephones, 911 service, text messaging, free access to 24-hour crisis lines and low cost pre-paid airtime and other services. In addition, we sell to advertisers the opportunity to deliver advertising messages to our subscribing members.
We are still in our infancy as a viable commercial entity, and consequently our focus has been on the identification of market needs, the development of products and services to meet these needs, and the branding of our company and our services. We anticipate that the expected growth in revenues will assist us in attracting additional financing to allow us to add the needed resources in order to further support the growth of our operations. Despite our expectations, there are no assurances that an increase in our revenues can be achieved, or that we will be able to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Should we be unable to achieve the anticipated revenue growth or to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, our ongoing business and future success may be adversely affected.
General - Explanation of Comparative Periods
As we acquired Digital Youth Network effective October 7, 2003, our financial statements included the financial results of Digital Youth Network from the period of October 7, 2003 to November 30, 2003. Our acquisition of Digital Youth Network Inc. has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, whereby Digital Youth Network Inc. has been identified as the acquirer in a reverse acquisition. In accounting for this transaction, Digital Youth Network Inc. is deemed to be the purchaser and surviving company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the historical results of operations of our company will be those of Digital Youth Network, Inc., with control of the net assets and operations of our company being acquired effective October 7, 2003.
The audited financial statements for Digital Youth Network Inc. for the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 were included on a Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2004, amending a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2003, in connection with the acquisition of Digital Youth Network Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three month period ended November 30, 2003 and 2002
We have reported a net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2003 of $406,568 or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $24,500 or -0- per share for the three months ended November 30, 2002.
During the three months ended November 30, 2003, we had revenue of $51,809, compared to revenue of $11,852 for the three months ended November 30, 2002. This increase in revenue is due to the growth in our business, which only began to generate revenue on November 8, 2002, the date upon which we supplied our first Digital Youth network subscriber with a cellular telephone handset. Because we did not begin to generate revenues until November 8, 2002, a comparison of our revenues and expenses for the three months ending November 30, 2003 to our revenues and expenses during the three months ending November 30, 2003, will not be meaningful.
We generate our revenues through advertising, the sale of memberships in our Digital Youth Network to secondary school students between 13 and 18 years of age and the sale of cellular telephone accessories and airtime. We currently charge a fee of CDN$50.00 (approximately US $36) for a membership in our Digital Youth Network; this membership fee entitles our member to a package that currently consists of one cellular telephone handset, CDN$50 (US$36) worth of airtime, two free ringtones, access to a 24 hour crisis line, limited incoming text messaging
19
through our websites located at www.digitalyouth.ca and www.saferschools.ca, access to 911 emergency services and such other sponsored benefits as may be available from time-to-time.
We also generate revenues from the sale of targeted advertising to clients interested in reaching our members. Our advertising services include wireless text messaging, electronic mail, direct mail and internet advertising. The revenues that we derive from the sale of these services vary depending on the nature and scope of the advertising campaign.
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2003 were $309,632, compared to $31,960 for the three months ended November 30, 2002. Overall, this increase is due to the substantial growth in our business, which only began to generate revenue on November 8, 2002. The cost of advertising and promotion for the three months ended November 30, 2003 was $63,941, compared to $6,666 for the three months ended November 30, 2002. Similarly, the cost of travel for the three months ended November 30, 2002 was -0-, while the cost of travel for the three months ended November 30, 2003 was $29,693. These increases in advertising, promotion and travel expenses are due primarily to a promotional campaign to offer Digital Youth memberships to eligible secondary school students in the Greater Toronto Area.
Wages and benefits for the three months ended November 30, 2003 were $67,574 compared to -nil- in the three months ended November 30, 2002, while consulting fees for the three months ended November 30, 2003 were $36,244 compared to $5,655 during the three months ending November 30, 2002. These increases are due to an increase in the number of our Digital Youth members from approximately 600 members at November 30, 2002, to approximately 7,300 members at November 30, 2003, and the corresponding increase in customer service requirements.
We had no stock compensation expense during the three months ending November 30, 2002, compared to a stock compensation expense of $18,700 incurred during the three months ending November 30, 2003. This increase was caused by the grant of stock options to each member of our board of directors on October 7, 2003.
We incurred rental expenses of $1,236 during the three months ending November 30, 2002, compared to rental expenses of $32,425 during the three months ending November 30, 2003. This increase is due to the expansion of our retail distribution network, which we subsequently replaced with a home delivery service. Our telecommunications service provider Microcell Inc. now ships handsets directly to each member's address upon order, and we no longer require retail distribution facilities.
There was a net decrease in cash during the three month period ended November 30, 2003 to $4,279 compared to cash of $13,955 at November 30, 2002. We continued to use our cash on hand to fund our ongoing expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at November 30, 2003
As at November 30, 2003, we had a cash position of $4,279 and a net working capital deficiency of $436,045.
We do not have sufficient cash resources to fund our normal operating expenses, which total approximately CDN$70,000 (US $54,000) per month, for the balance of the fiscal year.
We experienced a net decrease in our available cash resources over the three months ended November 30, 2003 due to our continuing need to meet ongoing general and administrative expenses.
Plan of Operation - Cash Requirements
Over the twelve month period ending November 30, 2004, we anticipate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 for normal operating expenses. Of this amount, we believe that we will need to raise approximately $550,000 through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, as revenue derived by Digital Youth Network is not sufficient to fund the anticipated operating expenses.
20
Product Research and Development
We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on research and development over the twelve months ending November 30, 2004.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We anticipate that we will need to purchase additional software to expand our existing text messaging capabilities at a cost of approximately $25,000. In addition, we will be required to purchase an inventory of cellular telephones and related accessories sufficient to supply new members as they sign up for its Digital Youth Network. Digital Youth Network currently uses the Siemens A56 handset for its wireless network, though the equipment used by our telecommunications service provider varies. The Siemens A56 handset has a cost of approximately $46. Although there can be no assurance that we will sign up any particular number of new members, we will need to purchase sufficient inventory to supply all new customers with wireless handsets and accessories. As this inventory is paid for out of each new members membership fee, we do not anticipate that this will place any financial burden on our company.
Employees
Prior to the date of our acquisition of our subsidiary company Digital Youth Network Inc. on October 7, 2003, we had no employees. As at November 30, 2003, our subsidiary company Digital Youth Network employed 15 persons. Over the twelve months ending November 30, 2004, we do not anticipate an increase in the number of people that our company employs directly, but we do anticipate an increase in the number of employees employed by our subsidiary company, from the current 15 to 20. These employees will required to fill customer service, accounting, website design and development, advertising sales and telephone handset distribution roles. As at November 30, 2003, our subsidiary company was spending an aggregate of approximately $40,000 per month on wages, benefits and withholdings for all of its employees. An increase in the number of employees will have a corresponding impact on our monthly expenses, though the actual amount of this increase will depend on the number of employees we ul timately retain.
Offices
We currently share office space with one of our directors, who has provided our company with space on a rent free as-needed basis. Digital Youth Network occupies one retail distribution center located in Surrey, British Columbia. Digital Youth Network's principal place of business is currently located at Suite 302, 1040 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6B 2R9.
Factors That May Affect Our Future Results
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating Ocean Ventures and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The trading price of the shares of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization has been calculated using the following annual rates and methods:
Cellular phones | 12 months straight-line |
Computer and office equipment | 30% declining balance |
Text messaging software | 12 months straight-line |
This is critical to our business due to accelerated amortization rates applied to telephone and equipment software.

RISK FACTORS
GENERAL RISKS
We are a company with a limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate whether we will operate profitably.
We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies seeking to establish a new business opportunity. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse affect on our financial condition. In addition, our operating results are dependent to a large degree upon factors outside of our control. There are no assurances that we will be successful in addressing these risks, and failure to do so may adversely affect our business.
We have not generated any significant revenues since May 1999 and our ability to generate revenues and operate at a profit is uncertain.
We have an accumulated deficit of $949,787 as at November 30, 2003. We had revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2003 of $51,809 and expenses for the same period of $309,632. At this time, our ability to generate any further revenues is uncertain. If we do not begin to generate significant revenues that enable us to operate profitably, our business will be adversely affected.
We require additional financing in order to continue in business as a going concern, the availability of which is uncertain.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the three months ending November 30, 2003, our independent auditors included additional comments in their Auditors' report indicating concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The loss of some of our present directors and officers could harm our business.
Some of our present officers and directors, who are also officers of our new subsidiary Digital Youth Network, are key to our continuing operations and we rely upon the continued service and performance of these officers and directors and their knowledge and ability to maintain our current level of business and to expand our business, which is key to our future success. Although these officers or directors are parties to written employment agreements with our company, any of them could leave with little or no prior notice. We cannot be assured that we can persuade these people to continue their employment with our company, or that we can do so on terms that are satisfactory to our company.
We expect that our business will expand rapidly over the near future. This will result in a need for additional employees to staff new locations and to handle the increased flow of our inventory. If we are unable to hire and retain technical, sales and marketing and operational personnel, our business could be materially adversely affected. Competition for these individuals in the technology sector - especially in the telecommunications field - is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, or retain additional qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain these employees could harm our business.
In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage the recent business combination resulting from our acquisition of Digital Youth Network. Failure to manage the integration of our operation with that of Digital Youth Network, or our anticipated growth, effectively and efficiently could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
22
If we are unable to obtain additional capital to finance the development of our business, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of our business.
We anticipate that we will require additional financing now that we have completed our acquisition of Digital Youth Network. We intend to secure any additional financing necessary through a private placement of our common shares, but there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us could have a materially adverse effect upon our company. In addition, if funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future shareholders will likely result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of our business. Inadequate funding could also impair our ability to compete in the marketplace, which may result in the dissolution of our company.
As a consequence of our business combination with Digital Youth Network, we are now subject to economic fluctuations within the telecommunications and advertising businesses.
Our current business activities are limited to the business engaged in by our subsidiary, Digital Youth Network. Our lack of diversification may subject us to economic fluctuations within the telecommunications and the advertising businesses, which may increase the risks associated with our operations.
We may fail to use our subsidiary company's Digital Youth Network database and our expertise in marketing to Generation DY students successfully, and we may not be able to maintain the quality and size of our database.
The effective use of our Digital Youth database and our expertise in marketing to Generation DY students will be important to our business. If we fail to capitalize on these assets, our business may not be successful.
We rely on third parties for some essential business operations, and disruptions or failures in the services provided by these parties may adversely affect our ability to deliver goods and services to our participating students.
We depend on Microcell, Inc. for service to the cellular telephones that we provide to the students that participate as members of our subsidiary's Digital Youth Network. This is an essential aspect of our subsidiary's business. We will have no control over Microcell, Inc., and we are not their only client. We may not be able to maintain a satisfactory relationship with Microcell, Inc. on acceptable commercial terms. Further, we cannot be certain that the quality of products and services that Microcell, Inc. provides will remain at the levels needed to enable us to conduct our subsidiary's business effectively.
Rapid changes to the technology used in our Digital Youth Network business may make our technology obsolete or require us to make large capital expenditures.
The wireless telecommunications industry is experiencing significant technological change, as evidenced by evolving industry standards, ongoing improvements in the capacity and quality of digital technology, shorter development cycles for new products and enhancements and changes in end-user requirements and preferences. These continuing technological advances make it difficult to predict the extent of future competition with cellular and other services. As a result, there can be no assurance that existing, proposed or as yet undeveloped technologies will not become dominant in the future and render the use of cellular telephones less profitable or even obsolete.
The actual or perceived health risks of wireless communications devices could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Reports have suggested that certain radio frequency emissions from wireless communications transmission equipment and handsets may be linked to certain medical conditions, such as cancer. Scientific investigations are ongoing to review whether radio emissions from wireless handsets and radio transmitters used in connection with wireless technologies pose health concerns, including interference with hearing aids, pacemakers and other medical equipment and devices. There can be no assurance that the findings from such studies will not have a material adverse effect on our Digital Youth Network business or will not lead to changes in government regulation. The
23
actual or perceived health risks of wireless communications devices could adversely affect wireless communications service providers, including Microcell, Inc., our third party provider, through reduced subscriber growth, reduced network usage per subscriber, the threat of product liability lawsuits or reduced availability of financing to the wireless communications industry.
Microcell, Inc., a principal third party provider for Digital Youth Network, is subject to governmental regulation and licensing requirements, which may increase its operating costs and affect its ownership structure
The use of radio spectrum is regulated by Industry Canada pursuant to the Radiocommunication Act (Canada). Radio and spectrum licenses are issued for a term and may be renewed at Industry Canada's discretion. They may be suspended or revoked for cause, including failure to comply with the conditions of license, although revocation is rare, and licenses are usually renewed upon expiration. Industry Canada regulation can materially affect Microcell, Inc.'s costs and operations.
Microcell, Inc. is a "Canadian carrier" pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (Canada), and therefore subject to regulation by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC"). CRTC regulation can materially affect Microcell, Inc.'s services and activities.
Microcell, Inc. is required, as a radiocommunication carrier and by the conditions of its license, to comply with the Canadian ownership and control provisions established in the Telecommunications Act and the Radiocommunication Act. Microcell, Inc. must comply with these Canadian ownership and control provisions in order to maintain its eligibility as a Canadian carrier under the Telecommunications Act. It must also comply with these Canadian ownership and control provisions in order to maintain its ability to operate as a Canadian carrier and to hold and renew its Licenses.
If Microcell, Inc. fails to continue to comply with the applicable provisions of these Canadian statutes, it could lose its license to provide the services that it currently provides to our subsidiary, Digital Youth Network. If this occurred, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our subsidiary's Digital Youth Network.
We are not currently subject to any direct federal, state or local regulation in the United States, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally.
To the best of our knowledge, we are not currently subject to any direct federal, state or local regulation in the United States, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Upon our recent acquisition of Digital Youth Network, we became engaged in the business of providing advertising and telecommunications products and services in various locations in Canada. The telecommunications industry is highly regulated in Canada and we do not have any direct experience operating in this industry. Our lack of expertise and knowledge concerning this regulatory framework could have an adverse impact on the future development of the Digital Youth Network business.
We voluntary delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange) and trading in our common shares on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic, making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
On June 21, 2002, we voluntarily delisted our common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange). Although our common shares were approved for trading on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board on January 29, 2002, under the symbol "OVNIF", trading has been very limited and sporadic, making it difficult for our shareholders to sell any of their common shares and liquidate their investment.
Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our
24
common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Ocean's securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market f or the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.
Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
25
Our by-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over of our company.
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our by-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.
As a result of all of our assets being located outside the United States and a majority of our directors and officers residing outside of the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our company or our directors and officers.
All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being November 30, 2003. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's president and chief executive officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's president and chief executive officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our company's president and chief executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
We have received correspondence putting our company on notice of a claim by Bay Management Ltd. that it believes that it is entitled to receive a finders' fee from our subsidiary company, Digital Youth Network Inc., as compensation for finders' services allegedly rendered to Digital Youth Network Inc. prior to the date of our acquisition of its shares on October 7, 2003. We do not believe that this claim has any merit and if it is pursued we intend to contest it.

Also at closing, Mr. Jerry McKenzie, who continues to be a member of our board of directors, resigned from the office of Secretary of our company and we appointed Mr. Daniel Reitzik as our Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Jason Jaspar as our corporate Secretary. Mr. Reitzik and Mr. Jaspar continue to serve as the President and the General Manager, respectively, of our subsidiary Digital Youth Network.
Code of Ethics
Effective December 11, 2003, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's president (being our principal executive officer) and our company's secretary (being our principal financial and accounting officer and controller), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
(1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
(2) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
(3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
(4) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
(5) accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or secretary.
28
In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violatio n or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our Form 10-KSB filed on January 12, 2004. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Ocean Ventures Inc., 110-10851 Shellbridge Way, Richmond, British Columbia, V6X 2W8.
