DIGITAL YOUTH NETWORK CORP.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2005
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
The Company was incorporated on November 22, 1996, under the Business Corporations Act of the Province of Alberta. In January 2000, the Company changed its name to Ocean Ventures Inc and in May, 2004, the Company changed it name to Digital Youth Network Corp. At May 31, 2005, 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 “OTCBB”). The Company ceased its prior business on November 30, 1999 and began investigating new business ventures on September 1, 1999. This process ended on October 7, 2003, when the Company completed the acquisition of Digital Youth Network Inc. (“DYNI”), a private company that was 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 providing access to 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 $2,478,648 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations. 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. There remains substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As at May 31, 2005, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $731,521. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by issuing debt and equity securities, as has been the case historically. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 | Summary 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 which conform with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles except as disclosed in Note 10. 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 judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d) |
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
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 nine-month period ended May 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 2005.

*The Company has the right to call these warrants to be exercised at any time after the bid price and the ask price (at the close) for the Company’s shares is equal to or greater than $0.60 for a period of seven consecutive days on the OTCBB.
Stock-based Compensation Plan
The Company has granted directors and a former director 250,000 common share purchase options. These options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. A stock-based compensation charge of $18,700, associated with the granting of these options has been recognized in the financial statements and was included as consulting fees for the period ended May 31, 2004. As at May 31, 2005 all 250,000 options remain outstanding and expire on October 7, 2008.
The fair value for these 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks enumerated in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our actual results or the actual results in our industry, of our levels of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. 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 “Digital Youth” mean our company, Digital Youth Network Corp., and our 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
Our company 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 five for one basis, effective January 27, 2001. On July 20, 2004 we changed our name to “Digital Youth Network Corp.”. 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.
On October 7, 2003, we acquired approximately 99.99626%, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Digital Youth Network Inc., a federally incorporated Canadian corporation with its principal place of business located at Suite 302, 1040 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6B 2R9. Digital Youth Network Inc. is now a subsidiary of our company.
Our Business
We are an interactive marketing company with a focus on the integration of wireless and Internet technologies and print media to provide short messaging service (also known as “SMS”) text messaging, promotional services, advertising and market research to our clients. Our technology allows wireless subscribers to interact with television, radio and print media to participate in contests and wireless promotions and to request additional information about products or promotions. We generate revenue both from advertisers and consumers.
We work with Universal Music to promote new artists and their album releases to our subscriber community, and we continue to explore ways to provide our subscribers with access to legally downloadable music through our website while simultaneously providing Universal Music with a new channel for distribution of its products. In return, Universal Music provides us with merchandise for distribution to our members both as incentives for their participation in our market research and as incentives to young people signing up for new memberships in our Digital Youth community. 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. Our company continues to explore how best to integrate legally downloadable music with our other current products.
We work with Digital Advertising Network Inc., an unrelated Canadian company, integrating our SMS messaging capability with Digital Advertising Network Inc.’s large video screens in shopping malls across Canada pursuant to a written agreement. Our agreement with Digital Advertising Network Inc. provides that we will share revenues derived from these interactive campaigns.
We continue to work with Pacific Newspaper Group Inc. in the creation and publication of a full page “Mobile On Demand” page in the Province newspaper, which is a newspaper of general circulation in the greater Vancouver metropolitan area. We are responsible for all design and content of the Mobile On Demand page, which is published weekly in the Province newspaper.
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.
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 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 13, 2005, the unaudited interim financial statements forming part of this quarterly report, and, in each case, the notes thereto.
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.
Results of Operations
Three month periods ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004
We have reported a net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2005 of $215,991 ($204,969 after adjustment for foreign currency translation) or $0.02 per share based on a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 11,714,029, compared to a net loss of $193,276 ($193,107 after adjustment for foreign currency translation) or $0.03 per share for the three months ended May 31, 2004, based on a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 6,507,420.
During the three months ended May 31, 2005, we had revenue of $30,765, compared to revenue of $29,875 for the three months ended May 31, 2004.
We generate our revenues through the sale of market research and advertising and, to a lesser extent, from subscriber referrals to our strategic partner Microcell, Inc. (which we discontinued at December 31, 2004 upon the expiration of our agreement with Microcell, Inc.). 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 May 31, 2005 were $247,314 compared to $131,437 for the three months ended May 31, 2004. Overall, this increase is comprised of in increases in advertising and promotion costs, audit and accounting fees, wages and benefits, interest on convertible debentures and a one-time expense for the re-pricing and conversion of a convertible debenture held by one of our directors. These items are broken down as follows:
The cost of advertising and promotion for the three months ended May 31, 2005 was $19,389, compared to $6,103 for the three months ended May 31, 2004. This increase was due almost entirely to the evolution of our business as an advertising and promotion company.
Wages and benefits increased substantially, from $28,180 for the three months ended May 31, 2004 to $67,641 for the three months ended May 31, 2005, while consulting fees increased from $31,134 in the three months ended May 31, 2004 to $$66,120 during the three months ended May 31, 2005. In contrast, management fees for the three months ended May 31, 2005 decreased to $4,856, from $15,522 for the three months ended May 31, 2004. Overall, this increase is due to the addition of two consultants retained to assist us in establishing financial controls and procedures and in improving our investor relations program, increases in the amount of monthly compensation that we paid to some of our employees and the consulting fees that we paid to a third party that we retained to help us design the Mobile on Demand page for inclusion in the Province newspaper owned by the Pacific Newspaper Group Inc.
Accounting and audit fees increased to $10,680 for the three months ended May 31, 2005, compared to $3,633 for the three months ended May 31, 2004. This increase is due primarily to deficiencies in our internal accounting procedures and the cost of correcting them.
Office and rent expense decreased from $19,605 during the three months ended May 31, 2004 to $$6,610 for the three months ended May 31, 2005. This decrease is due primarily to our decision to abandon our retail operations in favour of one central office location and the evolution of our business towards advertising and promotion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at May 31, 2005
As at May 31, 2005, we had a cash position of $1,214 and a net working capital deficiency of $731,521.
We do not have sufficient cash resources to fund our normal operating expenses, which total approximately Cdn $40,000 per month, for the balance of the fiscal year.
Plan of Operation - Cash Requirements
Over the twelve month period ending May 31, 2006, we anticipate that we will require additional operating capital of approximately $400,000. We plan to raise approximately $150,000 of this operating capital from operations and we plan to raise the balance of approximately $250,000 through private placements of our equity securities and/or debt financing. We plan to use this money to attract and sign-up additional member-subscribers, and to pursue and grow our relationships with Digital Advertising Network Inc., Universal Music, Pacific Newspaper Group and other industry partners and sponsors, and to implement our plan to sell downloadable music through the Digital Youth Network, including the implementation of a working plan whereby our subscribers can easily pay for the music that they download.
Product Research and Development
We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on research and development over the twelve months ending May 31, 2006.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate that we will need to purchase any significant equipment during the next 12 months.
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 May 31, 2005, we still had no employees but our subsidiary company Digital Youth
Network Inc. employed 4 people on a full time basis and a varying number of consultants and casual labour on an as-needed basis. These employees and consultants perform all of the necessary management and accounting functions for our company, in addition to customer service, website design and development, advertising and sales. As at May 31, 2005, we were spending an aggregate of approximately Cdn $40,000 per month on consulting fees, wages, benefits, withholdings for all of our employees, rent and general overhead. We do not anticipate an increase in the number of our employees or consultants, other than fluctuations in the normal course of scheduled promotional events for our subscribers, over the next 12 months.
Offices
We currently share office space with our subsidiary. Our principal place of business is located at Suite 302, 1040 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6B 2R9, where we rent approximately 2,300 square feet of office space, together with parking, for a monthly rent of Cdn $4,600.
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 our company and its business before purchasing shares of our 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on our company or our operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, our company requires additional financing to fund its operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets.
RISK FACTORS
GENERAL RISKS
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 $2,478,648 as at May 31, 2005. We had revenue for the three month period ended May 31, 2005 of $30,765 and expenses for the same period of $247,314. At May 31, 2005, we had cash in the bank of $1,214. Our monthly operating expenses are approximately Cdn $40,000. We do not currently have the money necessary to continue our operations and 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 fail.
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.
Because we cannot fund the cost of our operations from our revenues, we anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to continue to operate, grow our subscriber base and begin to generate significant revenues. We intend to secure any additional financing necessary through private placements 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.
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 year ending August 31, 2004, 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.
We have 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.
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 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. The failure to retain these key persons could harm our business.
We are 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 database and our expertise in marketing to our members 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 our generation DY members 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 all of the cellular telephone service providers in Canada for service to the cellular telephones used by our subscribers, and we depend on Impact Mobile for the ability to communicate across the various networks. This is an essential aspect of our business. We have no control over any of these telecommunications carriers or over Impact Mobile. We may not be able to maintain satisfactory relationships with any one or more of them on acceptable commercial terms. Further, we cannot be certain that the quality of products and services that they provide 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 actual or perceived health risks of wireless communications devices could adversely affect wireless communications service providers 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.
Telecommunications service providers are subject to governmental regulation and licensing requirements, which may increase their operating costs and affect their 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 the costs and the operations of the cellular telephone service providers through whom we route all of our text messages.
Canadian carriers are also subject to the Telecommunications Act (Canada), and therefore subject to regulation by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”). CRTC regulation can materially affect the services and activities of these carriers.
If any telecommunications carrier 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 company. Although the possibility is remote, if this were to occur to some material number of these carriers, it could have a material adverse affect on our ability to operate our business.
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 acquisition of Digital Youth Network, we became engaged in the business of providing advertising products in Canada through various media including telecommunications, though we do not directly provide any telecommunications service. 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 our 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” and on August 24, 2004 under the new symbol “DYOUF”, 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 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. Our 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 for 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.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being May 31, 2005, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal operating officer. Based upon that evaluation, our management and our board of directors have concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures, especially with regard to our internal controls over financial reporting, are adequate. We believe that we have cured a weakness that we identified in our quarterly report for the quarter ended November 30, 2004 that was due to a lack of qualified accounting personnel.
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 reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our president and chief executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As our company is relatively small, our audit committee does not have a member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, or “independent” as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding our internal controls and procedures, including those pertaining to financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in light of the current size of our company.
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 proceeding 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Pursuant to debt settlement and subscription agreements dated January 6, 2005, we issued an aggregate of 2,061,720 shares of common stock to eleven non-US persons who were also accredited investors. These shares of common stock were issued in offshore transactions to non-US Persons relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Pursuant to subscription agreements dated March 18, 2005, we issued 333,334 units to two non-US persons who were also accredited investors. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share at $0.40 per share for each warrant until April 30, 2007. These units were issued in offshore transactions to non-US Persons and we relied on the exemption from registration provided in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
