PART I

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

Business Development

Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (“we”, “us”, or “our”) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 6, 1998 as Boyd Energy Corporation for the purpose of developing a mechanical lifting device that would enhance existing stripper well production.  We were unable to raise sufficient capital to carry out this business and focused instead on leasing properties and exploring for oil and gas.  We changed our name to Barnett Energy Corporation on July 17, 2001.

On July 8, 2005, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (“WBSI”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WBSI, in exchange for 2,573,335 shares of our common stock.  As a result of this share exchange, shareholders of WBSI as a group owned approximately 76.8% of the shares then outstanding, and WBSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  We changed our name to Worldwide Strategies Incorporated as of June 14, 2005.

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of WBSI was accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI.  Since we had only minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for our net liabilities at the time of the transaction.  Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.  WBSI was incorporated on March 1, 2005 to provide Business Process Outsourcing services.

WBSI incorporated a subsidiary, Worldwide Business Solutions Limited, in the United Kingdom under the Companies Acts 1985 and 1989, on May 31, 2005.  This U.K. subsidiary was formed for the purpose of supporting sales and marketing efforts in English-speaking countries.  While the subsidiary has a temporary office and bank accounts established, it does not yet have any employees.

On July 31, 2007, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Rx, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Centric”) in exchange for 2,250,000 post-reverse-split shares of our common stock.  We filed Articles of Exchange Pursuant to NRS 92A.200 effective July 31, 2007.

Effective July 31, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to filing from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.

NewMarket Technologies, Inc.

On February 14, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with NewMarket Technology, Inc. (“NMKT”).  It is proposed that NMKT will acquire a 51% interest in our Company in exchange for (i) the assumption of all of our outstanding debts and (ii) the payment of $100,000.  NMKT’s ownership interest would be protected from dilution for three years.  If we are able to complete the transaction with NMKT, a change of control will occur and a new plan of operation will be pursued by the new officers and directors of our Company.

If we do not complete the transaction with NMKT, we will continue to pursue debt and/or equity financing to continue operations.  Failure to obtain additional financing could result in the cessation of our business.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete any additional financings successfully.

Our Business Plans

We originally intended to offer call center services, such as technical support, language interpreting, debt collections, and help desk solutions.  Then, with the acquisition of Centric, we planned to enter the business of distributing health services and prescription drug discount cards.  As of the date hereof, our only plan is to be acquired by NMKT.

 
4

 
If we fail to complete the transaction with NMKT, we may attempt to market the Company as a “shell company” as we believe that its status as a reporting company whose stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board has value.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in this effort.

Employees

As of July 31, 2009, we employed a total of 2 persons, both of which were full-time.  None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating To Our Business and Marketplace

If we complete our planned transaction with NewMarket Techology, Inc., there will be a change in control.  We have entered into a letter of intent with NewMarket Technology, Inc. (“NMKT”) whereby it is proposed that NMKT will obtain a 51% interest in our Company in exchange for payment of $100,000 and assumption of all of our outstanding debts.  If this transaction is completed, NMKT will have voting control of the Company and will likely put in new management.  Also, the ownership interests of existing shareholders will be diluted.

If we do not complete the change of control transaction with NMKT, we must obtain financing to continue operations.  If we do not complete the transaction with NMKT, we must engage in debt and/or equity financing in order to continue operations.  We do not know the terms on which any financing might be available or if such financing is available on any terms.  Such terms may be detrimental to the interests of our existing shareholders.  The value of an investment in our common stock could be reduced.  Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results.  Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital.  The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock.  In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms given to our current investors.  Shares of common stock that we sell could be sold into the market, which could adversely affect market price.

If we do not complete the proposed transaction with NMKT, we will seek other merger and acquisition opportunities.  We may not be able to successfully acquire or merge with another business.  Any acquisition or merger that we undertake will require an unspecified amount of additional capital expenditure in the form of planning, due diligence, legal, and accounting fees.  We have no substantial experience in completing acquisitions of or mergers with other businesses, and we may be unable to successfully complete such a transaction.  Any acquisition or merger we undertake may result in a potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, the issuance of debt and incurrence of expenses related to the transaction.

We have limited operating history and profitability and we cannot assure you that we will succeed or be profitable.  From March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009, we generated revenues of only $34,518.  We are in the development stage, as that term is defined by certain financial accounting standards.  This means that as of July 31, 2009, our planned principal operations had not commenced, as we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital, and developing markets.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful or profitable.

We do not have sufficient working capital to pay our debts or our costs of continuing operations.  We do not currently have sufficient working capital to pay our debts as they become due or our costs of operating our business.  We are dependent upon additional debt or equity financing to pay our debts and the costs of operation.  If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to begin our planned operations or continue as a going concern, and we may have to either liquidate our company or file for bankruptcy protection from our creditors.

We have significant financial obligations pursuant to employment agreements that we may not be able to pay.  In addition to our debt obligations, we have employment agreements that place significant monthly salary
 
 
 
5

 
 
obligations on us.  Once we have raised sufficient capital to begin operation and begin paying our employees pursuant to the employment agreements, we may not be able to pay or otherwise satisfy the obligations under the employment agreements.  If we cannot pay the obligations under the employment agreements, we may lose our employees.

Risks Factors Relating To Our Common Stock

Future equity transactions, including exercise of options or warrants, could result in dilution.  In order to raise sufficient capital to implement our planned operations, from time to time, we intend to sell restricted stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors in private placements.  Because the stock will be restricted, the stock will likely be sold at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering, and the exercise price of the warrants is likely to be at or even lower than market prices.  These transactions will cause dilution to existing stockholders.  Also, from time to time, options will be issued to officers, directors, or employees, with exercise prices equal to market.  Exercise of in-the-money options and warrants will result in dilution to existing stockholders.  The amount of dilution will depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number of shares involved.  In addition, such shares would increase the number of shares in the “public float” and could depress the market price for our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to SEC “Penny Stock” rules.  Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment of our common stock.  Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10.  Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

 l
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
 l
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
 l
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
 l
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
 l
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities.  These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

Since our shares are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, trading volumes and prices may be sporadic because it is not an exchange.  Our common shares are currently trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations.  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 limited business operations.  There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained.  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.

We are subject to SEC regulations and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and other trading market rules, are creating uncertainty for public companies.  We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure.  As a result, we intend to invest appropriate resources to
 
 
 
6

 
 
comply with evolving standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

ITEM 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings pending against us.  To the best of our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings threatened or contemplated against us.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

On July 8, 2005, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (“WBSI”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WBSI, in exchange for 2,573,335 shares of our common stock.  As a result of this share exchange, shareholders of WBSI as a group owned approximately 76.8% of the shares then outstanding, and WBSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of WBSI has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI.  Since we had only minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for our net liabilities at the time of the transaction.  Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.

Effective July 31, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.  All shares and per share amounts in our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

On July 31, 2007, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric in exchange for 2,250,000 shares of our common stock.  As a result of the acquisition, Centric became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the results of its operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

We currently devote substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets as we continue to be in the development stage.

Results of Operations

During the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no revenue.

 
8

 

Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes totaled $88,210 and $289,200 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $184,750 and $58,600 during the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a result of issuing stock options to our employees, directors and consultants.

Professional and consulting fees were $60,750 and $93,186 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Travel expenses totaled $9,572 and $17,835 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Contract labor was $56,250 and $150,000 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Insurance expenses totaled $30,683 and $48,774 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $10,548 and $16,702, respectively.

Interest expense was $21,834 and $47,181 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2009.  For the period from March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2009, we were engaged primarily in raising capital to implement our business plan.  Accordingly, we incurred expenses for professional and consulting fees, salaries and payroll taxes, travel, and contract labor, resulting in a net loss of $6,519,306 for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have relied on the sale of equity capital and debt instruments to fund working capital and the costs of developing our business plan.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,133,108 offset the $2,009,329 used in operating activities and $123,606 used in investing activities.

We had deficiency in working capital of $123,395 at July 31, 2009, primarily as a result of accrued salaries and outstanding notes classified as current liabilities as their maturity dates are within one year of the balance sheet date.

During the year ended July 31, 2009, we sold 16,000 shares of preferred stock for $8,000.  We also received $25,000 from NMKT pursuant to its $100,000 deposit obligation under the letter of intent.

During the year ended July 31, 2009, we issued a convertible promissory note to our President/CEO in the total amount of $10,000.  During the year, the note was converted into 20,420 shares of preferred stock, including $210 of accrued interest.  We also issued convertible promissory notes to unrelated third parties in the total amount of $18,440.  The note, and accrued interest, was converted into 37,672 shares of preferred stock during the year.

In an effort to conserve cash during the year ended July 31, 2009, we retired more than $600,000 in notes and interest payable using shares of our preferred stock.  See “Note (4) Related Party Transactions” and “Note (5) Shareholders’ Equity” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail.

Going Concern

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2009, includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have incurred recurring losses, incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year, and have an accumulated deficit of $6,519,306.  Based upon current operating levels, we will be required to obtain additional capital or reconfigure our operations in order to sustain our operations beyond July 31, 2009.

Contractual Obligations

We lease office space on a month-to-month basis at a rate of $150 per month.  We have no other contractual commitments.

Plan of Operations

As of the date hereof, our only plan is to be acquired by NMKT.  We have entered into a letter of intent with NMKT.  As of July 31, 2009, NMKT has paid us $75,000 of its $100,000 deposit obligation pursuant to the letter of intent.  The deposit was accounted for as a capital contribution because we are not obligated to pay back the deposit.  If we fail to complete the transaction with NMKT, we may attempt to market the Company as a “shell company” as we believe that its status as a reporting company whose stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board has value.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in this effort.

If we fail to complete the transaction with NMKT, we may be forced to raise additional capital to support our ongoing existence while we search for other merger opportunities.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financings successfully.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, the impairment of long-lived assets, any potential losses from pending litigation and deferred tax assets or liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

Development Stage.  We are in the development stage in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.  As of July 31, 2009, we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.

Stock-based Compensation.  Effective February 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”.  SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  In prior years, employee stock-based compensation awards were measured based on the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”.  Under APB 25, compensation expense of fixed stock options was based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the deemed fair value of our stock and the exercise price of the option.  Compensation expense was recognized on the date of grant or on the straight-line basis over the option-vesting period.  We account for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.  As a result of the change in accounting policy, we recorded $184,750, $58,600, and $3,374,953 as stock-based compensation on the stock options granted during the years ended July 31, 2009, July 31, 2008 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009.

Loss per common share.  We report net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share.  Basic net loss per share includes the impact of issuing 1,378,643 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and excludes the impact of other contingently exercisable common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per
 
 
 
10

 
 
share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  As of July 31, 2009, there were 6,724,695 and 5,033,364 vested common stock options and warrants outstanding, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.

New accounting pronouncements

Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements includes a complete description of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our Company.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Worldwide Strategies Incorporated., as of July 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year in the period ended July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Worldwide Strategies Incorporated. as of July 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in the period ended July 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Worldwide Strategies Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Worldwide Strategies Incorporated suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WORLDWIDE STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements

(1)           Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 1, 2005 as Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated (“WBSI”) in the State of Colorado.  The Company intends to provide call center software platforms to client centers and to outsource selected client services to multi-lingual international centers.

On May 13, 2005, Barnett Energy Corporation (“BEC”), a Nevada corporation, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with WBSI. Under the terms of the Agreement, BEC agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of WBSI in exchange for 778,539 shares of its common stock.  The acquisition closed on July 8, 2005.  Following the acquisition, the former shareholders of WBSI held approximately 76.8 percent of BEC’s outstanding common stock, resulting in a change of control.  In addition, WBSI became a wholly owned subsidiary of BEC.  However, for accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of WBSI, with BEC the legal surviving entity.  Since BEC had minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for the net liabilities of BEC.  Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.

On June 14, 2005, BEC changed its name to Worldwide Strategies Incorporated.

Effective July 31, 2007 the Company filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.

All shares and per share amounts in these Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

On July 31, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Rx, Inc., (“Centric”) in exchange for 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of the acquisition, Centric became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the results of its operation have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Development Stage

The Company and its subsidiaries are in the development stage in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.  As of July 31, 2009, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company experienced net losses of $464,456, $846,213, and $6,519,306 for the years ended July 31, 2009, July 31, 2008 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009, respectively.  In addition, the Company has incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year and, as of July 31, 2009, and has an accumulated deficit of $6,519,306.  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Financial Statements

In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient sales volume to cover its operating expenses and to raise sufficient capital to meet its payment obligations.  Historically, management has been able to raise additional capital. During the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company obtained an additional $25,000 as partial payment of item (ii) in the NMKT letter of intent. Additionally, during the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company issued preferred stock for $8,000 and convertible promissory notes, in exchange for $28,440.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at July 31, 2009.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, currently ranging from three to five years.  Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Company determined that software acquired, as part of the assets of Centric purchased July 31, 2007, has no future value.  The Company will not pursue the stand-alone pharmacy development, supported by the software, as originally contemplated in the Centric acquisition.  The useful life of this asset originally expected to end October 31, 2009 was revised to end July 31, 2008.  This asset and a fully depreciated computer, no longer in service, were abandoned during the year and removed from the Company’s records.  No impairment loss was recognized since the value of the assets removed was $0.

Depreciation expense for the years ended July 31, 2009, July 31, 2008, and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009 totaled $1,859, $124,735, and $139,608, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  Statement No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.  The assets identified above, with a net value of $0, were abandoned in the fiscal period ended July 31, 2009.

Offering Costs
 
The Company defers offerings costs, such as legal, commissions and printing costs, until such time as the offering is completed.  At that time, the Company offsets the offering costs against the proceeds from the offering.  If an offering is unsuccessful, the costs are charged to operations at that time.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides its call center services under contract arrangements.  The Company recognizes revenue as services are provided (based on an hourly rate) over the term of the contract.

Loss per Common Share

The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share.  Basic net loss per share includes the impact of issuing 1,378,643 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and excludes the impact of other contingently exercisable common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  As of July 31, 2009, there were 6,724,695 and 5,033,364 vested common stock options and warrants outstanding, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

Effective February 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  In prior years, employee stock-based compensation awards were measured based on the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”.  Under APB 25, compensation expense of fixed stock options was based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the deemed fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option.  Compensation expense was recognized on the date of grant or on the straight-line basis over the option-vesting period.  The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.  As a result of the change in accounting policy, the Company recorded $184,750, $58,600, and $3,374,953 as stock-based compensation on the stock options granted during the years ended July 31, 2009, July 31, 2008 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009.

Fiscal Year-end

The Company’s year-end is July 31.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”.  The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  This statement addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”), as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and (2) concern about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under FIN 46(R) do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representation faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement.  This statement addresses (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors.  SFAS 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited.  This statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.  Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes.  The disclosure provisions of this statement should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this statement.  The adoption of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”.  The objective of this statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  This statement sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and disclosures events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  The provisions of SFAS 165 are effective for financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 165 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB reached a consensus in Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”).  This Issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.  EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early application is not permitted.  The adoption of EITF 07-5 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(2)           Accounts payable related parties

At July 31, 2009, the Company was indebted to two officers for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company totaling $3,769.

(3)           Accrued compensation

The Company has not compensated the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer for services rendered during the 2007, 2008 and 2009 fiscal years.  Unpaid compensation was accrued and charged to expense for these periods.  Effective January 31, 2009, accrued compensation totaling $642,537 at October 31, 2008, was forgiven and the debt was taken off the Company records.  Compensation was accrued for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2009 in the amount of $45,625.  The accrued compensation will only be paid if the Company successfully obtains sufficient financing to fund its plan of operation.

U.S. statutory federal rate, graduated
    34.00 %     34.00 %

    no tax benefit is currently available
    -37.06 %     -37.06 %
      0.00 %     0.00 %

At July 31, 2009, the Company fully allowed for any deferred tax asset that it may have as a result of its accumulated losses of $6,519,306.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2029.

The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

Notes to Financial Statements

Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.

(8)           Acquisition of Centric Rx, Inc.

The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated June 28, 2007 with Centric, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric.  The transaction closed on July 31, 2007 and was accounted for using the purchase method.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Centric in exchange for 2,250,000 post reverse shares of the Company’s common stock.  The acquisition was valued at the fair value of the net assets acquired.

(9)           Letters of Intent

NewMarket Technology, Inc.

In February 2008, the Company entered into a letter of intent with NewMarket Technology, Inc. (“NMKT”). Pursuant to the letter of intent, NewMarket will acquire a 51% in the Company in exchange for (i) the assumption of all of the Company’s outstanding debts and (ii) the payment of $100,000.  NMKT’s ownership interest will be protected from dilution for three years.  The transaction is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase agreement and the completion of due diligence.  Withdrawal from the transaction by either party will subject the withdrawing party to a claim for the legal and due diligence expenses of the other party, not to exceed $100,000.

Thus far, the Company has received $75,000 from NMKT as partial payment of item (ii) in the letter of intent.  Both parties are engaged in the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase agreement and the completion of due diligence.

E-nnovation.com Limited

In September 2006, the Company signed a Heads of Agreement to purchase 100% of the issued capital of E-nnovation.com Limited, which owned 100% of the issued capital stock of Innovation Software Limited (“ISL”).  The proposed purchase price was ₤1,000,000 to be settled in one cash payment at the date of completion.  On April 4, 2007, the Company decided to discontinue its efforts to acquire Innovation Software Limited when ISL terminated its relationship with the Company and withdrew from further negotiations.  As a result, the Company recorded $31,016 as a loss on failed acquisitions during the year ended July 31, 2007.

Cascade

On September 29, 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Cascade Callworks, Inc. (“Cascade”), a Washington corporation.  Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would acquire Cascade for $2.5 million, subject to detailed due diligence and satisfactory negotiation of other terms.  The Company made a $100,000 deposit toward the purchase price in October 2005.  The remaining balance on the purchase price was to be due at closing, which was to occur no later than April 30, 2006.

In addition, as part of the purchase price the Company would issue Cascade warrants to purchase 133,334 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable over a period of three years as follows:

       a.
33,334 shares at $1.50 per share;
       b.
100,000 shares at $2.25 per share.

In July 2006, the Company terminated the agreement set forth in the Letter of Intent and amendments to that letter.  Accordingly, the Company wrote-off the $100,000 deposit to “Loss on failed acquisition” and issued three year warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $.75.

TouchStar

On October 18, 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with the management of TouchStar Software Corporation (“TouchStar”).  TouchStar owns a majority of the issued and outstanding common shares of TouchStar International Sales Limited (“TISL”), a Delaware corporation.  Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would issue to TouchStar that number of shares at the market price per share on the date of transfer representing a $500,000 investment in the Company.  In exchange, TouchStar would issue to the Company 50,000 shares of TISL.  Following the exchange, the Company would own five percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of TISL.

The Company agreed that it would register at least 666,667 shares of its common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement in order to ensure the registration of a sufficient number of shares to meet the $500,000 valuation of shares issued to TouchStar.

The Company agreed that either through itself, a subsidiary, affiliate, or third party, it would cause the shares issued to TouchStar to be repurchased from TouchStar within 30 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement at a purchase price equal to the greater of (a) the market price of the shares held by TouchStar, or (b) $500,000.  If the repurchase did not occur within the stated period, each party would return all shares included in the original exchange.

Cascade and TouchStar are affiliates with common management; however, neither entity is related to the Company.

In February 2006, the Company issued 666,667 shares of its common stock to Touchstar under the terms of the above agreement.  On April 19, 2006, the Company rescinded the transaction, cancelled the shares, and restored the status of the shares as authorized but unissued.

On April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Business Process Provider Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cleave Global E-Services Limited (“CGESL”), an Indian corporation.  Under the agreement, the Company was to market the services provided by CGESL in the United States, United Kingdom and throughout the world on a non-exclusive basis.  Contract prices for services provided by the Company to CGESL were to be based on future negotiations.  In addition, the Company was to acquire a 20% equity interest in CEGSL.  On April 15, 2005, the value of CGESL’s business was estimated at $4 million; however, the final cost was to be established once the Company had the resources to close the acquisition.  Upon signing the agreement, the Company paid CGESL a $50,000 deposit toward the acquisition.

On September 21, 2005, the parties terminated the agreement and the Company wrote-off the $50,000 deposit to “Loss on failed acquisition”.

(11)           Commitments

Beginning February 2007, the Company commenced a month-to-month lease on a “virtual” office at a rate of $150 per month.  Rent expense for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2009 totaled $1,800, $3,470, and $49,431, respectively.

(12)           Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in a financial institution, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  At July 31, 2008, the loss that would have resulted from that risk totaled $-0-.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

(13)           Subsequent Events

On September 24, 2009, the Company entered into agreements with two consultants to provide services related to developing the Company’s business plan and evaluating the Company’s prospects.

On October 9, 2009, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to an unrelated third party in exchange for $20,000.  The note is due on April 9, 2010 and the principal and accrued interest is convertible into Series A shares at $.50 per share upon the election of the holder.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. Subsequent to the close of our fiscal year, on October 16, 2009, we appointed Hamilton, P.C. (“Hamilton”) in Denver, Colorado as the registered independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.  On October 16, 2009, we dismissed Cordovano and Honeck LLP (“C&H”) as its registered independent public accountant.  The decisions to appoint Hamilton and dismiss C&H were approved by our Board of Directors on October 16, 2009.

During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and through the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (October 16, 2009), there were no disagreements with C&H on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of C&H, would have caused C&H to make reference thereto in its report on WWSG’s financial statements for such years.  Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K occurring within the our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (October 16, 2009).

The audit report of C&H for our financial statements as of July 31, 2008, contained a separate paragraph stating:

“The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year and has an accumulated deficit of $6,054,850.  Based upon current operating levels, the Company may be required to obtain additional capital or significant reconfiguration of its operations to sustain its operations beyond July 31, 2009.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Further information and management’s plans in regard to this uncertainty are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of Hamilton (October 16, 2009), neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Hamilton regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements.  Further, Hamilton has not provided us with written or oral advice that was an important factor that we considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.

C&H furnished us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements in our 8-K, a copy of which was filed with our Form 8-K containing this same disclosure.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
 
 
 
35

 
 
to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief financial officer and implemented by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes an analysis under the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of the control environment by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on our evaluation described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this annual report.

James P.R. Samuels, Chief Executive Officer

38

 
The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint our independent accountants, subject to any shareholder ratification.  The Audit Committee also prepares the annual Audit Committee report required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in our annual proxy statement.

Donald A. Christensen serves as our Audit Committee financial expert.

Compensation Committee.  Our compensation committee members are Frank J. Deleo and Robert T. Kane.  The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to (1) discharge the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to compensation of our executives and (2) produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

Family Relationships

There is no family relationship between any director, executive or person nominated or chosen by us to become a director or executive officer of our company.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities.  Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company.  While the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate that such activities will not interfere in any significant fashion with the affairs of our business, in terms of having adequate time to devote to the business of the company.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to us.  Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities.  Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise.  Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis.  A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.  If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity.  However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so.  Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, since we have been focusing our efforts on obtaining financing for the company.  We expect to adopt a code by the end of the current fiscal year.

Procedure for Nominating Directors

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

The board of directors will consider candidates for director positions that are recommended by any of our stockholders.  Any such recommendation for the annual meeting of stockholders should be provided to our corporate secretary by December 31, 2009.  The recommended candidate should be submitted to us in writing addressed to
 
 
 
39

 
 
3801 East Florida Avenue, Suite 400, Denver, Colorado  80210.  The recommendation must include the following information: name of candidate; address, phone, and fax number of candidate; a statement signed by the candidate certifying that the candidate wishes to be considered for nomination to our board of directors and stating why the candidate believes that he or she would be a valuable addition to our board of directors; a summary of the candidate’s work experience for the prior five years and the number of shares of our stock beneficially owned by the candidate.

The board of directors will evaluate any recommended candidate and determine whether or not to proceed with the candidate in accordance with our procedures.  We reserve the right to change our procedures at any time to comply with the requirements of applicable laws.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, are required to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The following table sets forth reports that were not filed on a timely basis during the most recently completed fiscal year:
