PART I
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 2,573,435 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 it does not yet have any employees and has no operations.
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. Centric is no longer in existence.
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.
The company is finalizing plans to file to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 33,333,333 to 600,000,000.
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 search for merger or acquisition opportunities.
On December 14, 2012, Worldwide Strategies Incorporated ("Worldwide") executed a stock exchange agreement with Jorge Zamacona Pliego, the President of Euzkadi Corporation of America S.A. de C.V. ("Euzkadi") and other principal owners of Euzkadi ("Euzkadi Principals"). Under the terms of the stock exchange agreement, Euzkadi Principals would assign and transfer Euzkadi shares to Worldwide such that Worldwide would then own 10% of Euzkadi, and Worldwide would issue shares of its common stock to Euzkadi Principals, such that they would then own 80% of Worldwide.
On April 6, 2013, Worldwide and Euzkadi entered into an Operating Agreement that outlines how the activities of the two corporations will be conducted after consummation of the stock exchange agreement. Under the
4
terms of the Operating Agreement, Worldwide will be the international sales, financial reporting, licensing and acquisition base for Euzkadi. Euzkadi will act as a dedicated supplier to procure, transport and deliver grain products for sale.
As part of the terms of the Operating Agreement, Worldwide will commence efforts to change the name of the company to Euzkadi International Corporation.
Consummation of the stock exchange is contingent upon the satisfaction of several conditions, including Worldwide increasing its authorized shares of common stock to accommodate this transaction and Euzkadi completing its first shipment of products.
Employees
As of October 31, 2014, we employed a total of 2 persons, both of which were full-time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Risks Relating To Our Business and Marketplace
We must obtain financing to continue operations. 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.
We are seeking 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 we cannot assure you that we will succeed or be profitable. From March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2013, 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, 2013, 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. As of July 31, 2013, our working capital deficiency was $328,180. 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.
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,
5
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.
Trading volumes and prices may be sporadic because our shares are not traded on an exchange. Our common shares are currently quoted on the over-the-counter markets. 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 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 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.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Our principal offices are located at 3801 East Florida Avenue, Suite 400, Denver, Colorado. We lease these offices pursuant to a month-to-month lease. The base rent on the lease is $150 per month.

Our legal address for our U.K. subsidiary is that of the accountant and financial firm Wilkins Kennedy, 77-79 High Street, Egham, Surrey TW20 9HY, UK.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no known or pending litigation proceedings against us.

Additionally, none of these investors were U.S. Persons. Restrictive legends were placed on the certificates evidencing the securities issued in all of the above transactions.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
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 2,573,435 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 one-for-three 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.
The company is finalizing plans to file to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 33,333,333 to 600,000,000 so that the stock exchange agreement entered into on December 14, 2012 with Jorge Zamacona Pliego, the President of Euzkadi Corporation of America S.A. de C.V. ("Euzkadi") and other principal owners of Euzkadi ("Euzkadi Principals") can be consummated.
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, 2013 and 2012, we had no revenue.
Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes totaled $-0- for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012.
We incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $86,000 and $115,500 during the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a result of issuing shares and options to our employees and directors for services.
8
Professional and consulting fees were $52,156 and $91,383 for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Travel expenses totaled $12,566 and $22,010 for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the decline due to a decreased level of activity and a focus on cost control.
Amortization of debt discount was $20,095 and $7,498 for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $3,784 and $4,192, respectively.
Interest expense was $58,080 and $107,189 for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The lower interest expense is the result of the impact of the lower stock price on renewal fees for certain promissory notes.
March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2013. For the period from March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2013, 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 $7,977,949 for the period.
Liquidity and Capital
Since our inception through July 31, 2013, 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 $2,377,659 offset the $2,250,516 used in operating activities and $123,606 used in investing activities. For the year ended July 31, 2013, $49,550 provided by financing activities offset $50,722 used in operating activities.
We had a deficiency in working capital of $328,180 at July 31, 2013, primarily as a result of outstanding notes classified as current liabilities as their maturity dates are within one year of the balance sheet date.
At July 31, 2012, our working capital deficiency was $775,100. The decrease in working capital deficiency was due primarily to our CEO and our former CFO accepting convertible promissory notes totaling $45,500 as payment for accrued salaries of $410,625 and accrued expenses of $108,894.
During the year ended July 31, 2013, we borrowed $49,550. During the 2012 fiscal year, we borrowed $71,161.
Going Concern
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2013, 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 $7,977,949. Based upon current operating levels, we will be required to obtain additional capital or reconfigure our operations in order to sustain our operations through July 31, 2015.
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, we do not have any plans for business operations, merger or acquisition, other than the proposed business combination transaction with Euzkadi. We cannot assure you that this transaction will be completed.
9
We must 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. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements to improve financial reporting by reducing cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The changes eliminate the need for inception to date reporting and other disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected early adoption of these amendments.
Stock-based Compensation. The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 Stock Compensation, using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
Loss per common share. We report net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. 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, 2013, there were 4,333,328 vested common stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.
Beneficial Conversion Features. From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. On August 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
·
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
·
|
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
.
|
·
|
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
|
The following table represents our assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 31, 2013:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Worldwide Strategies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Worldwide Strategies, Inc. as of July 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Worldwide Strategies, Inc. as of July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct errors in the consolidated financial statements resulting from the capitalization of prepaid expenses, valuation of shares, unissued shares, and beneficial conversion feature.

(1) Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (the "Company") was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 6, 1998. On March 1, 2005, Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated ("WBSI") was incorporated in the State of Colorado. On July 8, 2005, the Company acquired all the shares of WBSI for 76.8% of the Company's outstanding stock. The acquisition of WBSI has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI. Therefore the historical information prior to the date of recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.
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
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements to improve financial reporting by reducing cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The changes eliminate the need for inception to date reporting and other disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected early adoption of these amendments.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated 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 $232,681, $347,772, and $7,977,949 for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company has incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year and, as of July 31, 2013, has an accumulated deficit of $7,977,949. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
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, 2013, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in exchange for $49,550.
The consolidated 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.
18
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, 2013 or 2012.
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.

The Company has adopted ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which requires that long-lived assets to be held be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ASC 360 establishes a single auditing model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
Loss per Common Share
The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and convertible preferred stock). Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and convertible preferred stock, using the treasury stock method. The calculation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes the dilutive effect of the exercise of outstanding options and convertible preferred stock at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later. At July 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding options equivalent to 4,333,328 and 3,508,328 common shares respectively and convertible preferred stock equivalent to 9,323,400 common shares.
19
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 "Stock Compensation," using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
Beneficial Conversion Features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On August 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
·
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
·
|
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
·
|
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

Fiscal Year-end
The Company's year-end is July 31.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists. The new guidance
20
requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carry forwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
·
|
Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
|
·
|
Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
|
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update were effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update were effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update). This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess
21
qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments were effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, had not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Financial Instruments
On August 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("Topic 820"). Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC Topic 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
As of July 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. The Company has approximately $3,267,261 and $3,297,620 of federal net operating loss carry forwards at July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.
The Components of the Company's deferred tax asset are as follows:

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company's history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not, the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the federal and state statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

(9) 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 ("FDIC"). At July 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.
(10) Restatement of 2012 Financial Statements
In February 2014 the Company identified several errors in the previously issued consolidated financial statements that required restatement. Three areas of concern were identified for adjustment: common shares for directors' fees that should have been but were not issued in the 2012 fiscal year, the recording of Prepaid Expenses related to extension fees due to the holder of a promissory note, and the recording of the conversion feature on the Company's promissory notes where the conversion rate is below the market price of the common stock.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On October 21, 2013, we were notified by Hamilton, P.C. ("Hamilton") that it was resigning as our independent public accountants. Hamilton had audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
The reports of Hamilton on our consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012, and through the subsequent interim period ending October 21, 2013, there were no disagreements with Hamilton 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 Hamilton, would have caused Hamilton to make reference thereto in its report on our financial statements for such years. Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period ending October 21, 2013.
On October 31, 2013, we appointed M&K CPAS, PLLC ("M&K") in Houston, Texas as our registered independent public accountant for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. The decision to appoint M&K was approved by our Board of Directors on October 31, 2013.
During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of M&K (October 31, 2013), neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted M&K 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, M&K 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.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of July 31, 2013 an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including James P.R. Samuels, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and Thomas E. McCabe, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"))
Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's Board, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
- | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the company; |
- | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
34
- | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of July 31, 2013, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective based on the COSO criteria. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our ability to prepare accurate and timely financial statements, which are considered to be material weaknesses.
As a public company with listed equity securities, we need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the Dodd-Frank Act, and related regulations of the SEC, which we would not be required to comply with as a private company. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements occupies a significant amount of time of our board of directors and management and significantly increases our costs and expenses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of adequate resources so as to remain compliant with our periodic filings as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) failure to perform adequate timely review of specific transactions as recorded. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of July 31, 2013.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. See, "Management's Remediation Initiatives."
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
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 by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and the Company only provided management's report in this annual report.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we are in the process of formulating a plan to remediate our material weaknesses in internal controls. That plan includes the following:
As of the date of this report, we believe that adequate resources are available so as to properly staff the financial reporting process. We are further studying best practices in internal controls over financial reporting and designing other internal controls to implement that will help remediate our weaknesses.
35
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for the maximum indemnification of our officer and director allowable under Nevada corporate law. Our shareholders elect our directors annually and our board of directors appoints our officers annually. Vacancies in our board are filled by the board itself. Set forth below are brief descriptions of the recent employment and business experience of our executive officers and directors.
James P.R. Samuels, Chief Executive Officer and Director. Mr. Samuels founded Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated in March 2005 and has been the chief executive officer and a director of the company since June 2005. From May 1996 to March 2004, he served as vice president-finance, treasurer and chief financial officer of Rentech, Inc., a publicly-held company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Rentech develops and markets processes for conversion of low-value carbon-bearing solids or gases into high-value hydrocarbons. From December 1995 through April 1998, he provided consulting services in finance and securities law compliance to Telepad Corporation, Herndon, Virginia, a company engaged in systems solutions for field force computing. From 1991 through August 1995, he served as chief financial officer, vice president-finance, treasurer and director of Top Sources, Inc., Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a development stage company engaged in developing and commercializing technologies for the transportation, industrial and petrochemical markets.

From 1975 to 1983, he was employed by Bendix Automotive Group, Southfield, Michigan, a manufacturer of automotive filters, electronics and brakes. He served in various capacities, including group director for management consulting services on the corporate staff, director of market research and planning, manager of financial analysis and planning, and plant controller at its Fram Autolite division. From 1973 to 1974, he was employed by Bowmar Ali, Inc., of Acton, Massachusetts, in various marketing and financial positions, and in 1974 he was managing director of its division in Wiesbaden, Germany. He received a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Lowell Technological Institute in 1970, and a Master of Business Administration degree in 1972 from Suffolk University, Boston, Massachusetts. He completed an executive program in strategic market management through Harvard University in Switzerland in 1984.
36
We believe that Mr. Samuels should serve on the board because of his previous experience in management and with publicly held companies.
Thomas E. McCabe, VP Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Thomas McCabe has been our chief financial officer since October 2011. He has over 25 years experience in public and privately held companies. Mr. McCabe's corporate leadership roles include President, CFO, General Manager, Senior Vice President, Vice President of Administration, Vice President Information Technology, Manufacturing Manager and Controller. His educational background includes a BS in Math/Business from Wake Forest University and an MBA from the University of Florida. Mr. McCabe started TEM Associates in 2009 with a primary focus on providing C-level guidance, support and services to start-up, early-stage and small/medium sized companies, focusing primarily on CFO related activities. TEM Associates also provides investment evaluation services to Private Equity investors, support for acquisition execution and assorted project and interim C-level support.
Frank J. Deleo, Director. Mr. Deleo has been a director since June 2005. Since September 2007, Mr. Deleo has served as president of Rioath Group. Mr. Deleo was with Citigroup Inc. from 1978 to September 2007. He was with CitiFinancial Branch Network from 1996, first as a vice president/regional manager and since March 2002 as a managing director over Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. CitiFinancial, which is part of Citigroup Inc., a financial services company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, offers consumer loan products and services, including real estate, personal loans, and loans to finance consumer goods. From 1979 to 1996, he was employed by Associates Corporation of North America. Mr. Deleo received a bachelors degree in psychology from University of Stony Brook University in 1977.
We believe that Mr. Deleo should serve on the board because of his previous experience in financial services and management with publicly held companies.
Robert T. Kane, Director. Robert Kane has been a director since June 2005. He has been a practicing attorney in Munhall, Pennsylvania, since 1970. Mr. Kane received his J.D. degree from Villanova University in 1970 and his B.S. degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1965.
We believe Mr. Kane should serve on the board because of his experience in corporate oversight, litigation and general corporate law practice.
Edward J. Weisberg, Director. Mr. Weisberg has been a director since September 2005. He is currently Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at GXT Green, a division of Global Exchange Technologies. GXT Green develops and sells carbon offsets globally, as well as offers a set of sustainability services and products, including ECOgrade photodegradable shopping bags. Mr. Weisberg has also been the Managing Partner of Ecommerce Expertise, a consulting practice dedicated to assisting companies with Internet marketing and improving eCommerce profitability, since September 2008. From December 2009 to August 2010, he held the position of Director of Business Development at Keyword Connects, LLC, an online lead generation company based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

(formerlyBX.COM Inc.), a Providence, Rhode Island company that provides eCommerce web site development, hosting, and Internet marketing support. Prior to founding BX.com, he held various key marketing, planning, and sales roles at Paradigm Management Consulting Group, Inc., BASF Corporation, Data General Corporation, and Wang Laboratories, Inc. Mr. Weisberg is also on the board of advisors of Sustainable Minds, LLC, and ZebraTickets, LLC, both privately-held companies. Mr. Weisberg has a Masters degree in management from MIT/Sloan School of Management and a bachelors degree in social psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.
We believe Mr. Weisberg should serve on the board because of his previous experience in management, marketing, emerging technology and with publicly held companies.
37
Gregory Kinney, Director. Formerly a director of Centric, Mr. Kinney was appointed to serve as a director on August 1, 2007. Since April 1997 to the present, Mr. Kinney has served as Vice-President of Operations of Kristel, LP, a privately held organization operating in Illinois.

Between 1980 and 1984, Mr. Kinney served in the United States Navy. Mr. Kinney has received a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Clinical Christian Counseling from International Theological Seminary in Bradenton Florida.
We believe Mr. Kinney should serve on the board because of his previous experience in management and with the technology sector.
Committees
Audit Committee. Our audit committee members are Edward J. Weisberg and Robert T. Kane. 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.
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.
We believe that until such time as the Company acquires a business that it is not necessary to have a financial expert serving on the audit committee.
Compensation Committee. Our compensation committee members are Frank J. Deleo and Gregory Kinney. 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.
Nominating Committee. Our nominating committee members are Gregory Kinney and Frank J. Deleo. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to identify, review credentials of and recommend membership of new board members.
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.
38
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
The board of directors will consider candidates for director positions that are recommended by any of our stockholders and approved by the Nominating Committee. Any such recommendation for the annual meeting of stockholders should be provided to our corporate secretary by December 31, 2013. The recommended candidate should be submitted to us in writing addressed to 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 Nominating Committee 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 through the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013:
