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.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
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.
9
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.

(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.
Going
Concern
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.

STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A

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.

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

(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.

(10) Business
Process Provider Agreement
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.

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.
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.

Committees
Audit
Committee. Our audit committee members are Donald A.
Christensen and Edward J. Weisberg. The Audit Committee is appointed
by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility
to oversee (1) the integrity of our financial statements, controls and
disclosure; (2) the qualifications and independence of our independent
accountants; (3) the performance of our independent accountants and of its
internal audit staff; and (4) our compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements.
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.
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

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

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

compensation of approximately $400. Effective January 31, 2009, Mr.

half of their contract values. Mr. Samuels and Mr. Somerville will
not receive any payments on accrued compensation until the Company develops or
acquires operations and begins to record revenue.
On
December 10, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of options to
purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Samuels and Mr.
Somerville. The options were exercisable for five years at a price of
$0.015 per share.
On
December 24, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the payment of 100,000
shares to each of Mr. Samuels and Mr. Somerville for services rendered to the

28, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized a further payment of shares for
services rendered in the amount of 1,200,000 shares to Mr. Samuels and 1,000,000

share, the closing market price on the date of the issuance.
We have
formed a Compensation Committee comprised of members of the Board of
Directors. The compensation committee reviewed and approved the
employment agreements described above. The current members of the
Compensation Committee are Frank J. Deleo and Robert T. Kane.
The

Changes
in Control
As of
January 31, 2009, we converted promissory notes and interest in the amount of
$652,275 into 1,304,552 shares of Series A Preferred Convertible
Stock. We also sold 16,000 Series A shares to three individuals,
generating $8,000 to fund ongoing operations. Furthermore, in July
2009, we converted promissory notes and interest in the amount of $29,046 into
58,092 shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock. The Series A
shares that we issued to restructure our outstanding debts have the right to
vote 8,616,519 common share equivalent votes on any matter placed before our
stockholders. The individuals that converted debt into Series A
shares already controlled our Company prior to the conversion. These
individuals include many of our officers and directors. As a result
of the issuance of Series A shares, the control over our Company exerted by our
management has increased.
