CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding NX Global, Inc. f/k/a National Energy Services Company, Inc., (“NX Global”) and together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), its business and its financial prospects. These statements represent Management’s present intentions and its present belief regarding the Company’s future. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results suggested in this Report. Among the more significant factors are:
• | The Company has not been profitable in recent years. |
• | The Company lacks the capital necessary to significantly expand its business. Unless the expansion of business is sufficient enough that the gross profit will exceed administrative costs, the Company will not achieve profitability. |
• | Expansion of business will require that an expansion of accounting and other internal management systems. Such an expansion may lead to inefficiencies that could prevent profitability. |
• | The Company has sought to expand its business model and discontinue certain unprofitable business elements while expecting to expand other product offerings. |
Because these and other risks may cause NX Global’s actual results to differ from those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report. Readers should also take note that NX Global will not necessarily make any public announcement of changes affecting these forward-looking statements, which should be considered accurate on this date only.
ITEM 1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Business of the Company
NX Global was incorporated on February 17, 1998 in Nevada to engage in an internet related business. and National Energy Services Company, Inc., an unaffiliated New Jersey corporation formed in 1995 (“NESNJ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated January 19, 2001 pursuant to which the shareholders of NESNJ on January 19, 2001 were issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock of NX Global, par value $.001, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the NESNJ, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In September 2010 the Company changed its name to NX Global, Inc. from National Energy Services Company, Inc.
NX Global, Inc. sold the stock it owned in NESNJ, the New Jersey subsidiary in March 2010. This entity had ceased most of its operations in January, 2010. The operations of NESNJ, which comprised of all the Company’s operations until January 2010, are considered as discontinued operations.
The Company is engaged in operating three divisions and various subsidiaries within each division either created by the Company or to be purchased for more rapid growth. The divisions include Renewable Energy Project Management, Renewable Energy Product Sales and Green Internet Technologies.
Renewable Energy Project Management initially consists of project management and marketing of those services to solar/thermal, bio-fuels and waste to energy project owners. Current various joint ventures investments are being negotiated to enable the Company to get into the markets with signed projects. These projects include bio-fuel from algae and from pyrolisis of tires, pyrolisis of municipal solid waste to energy, and combination operations of solar/thermal and animal waste pyrolisis.
The Renewable Energy Product Sales division markets to the end user products that reduce the energy cost to home and commercial building users to pennies on the dollars they previously spent and provide revenue for the company through sale of excess energy to the grid. Additional products include lighting and water systems for commercial structures, some that had been marketed by the Company’s former New Jersey subsidiary.
The Green Internet Technologies Service and Training Division is designed to first assist all affiliated divisions in the marketing of their products and services and will expand into green social networking products and services and training for new technology development and certification initially in the virtualization and cloud computing markets.

Table of Contents
Except for the Internet Technologies Service and Training Division, none of the divisions were active during the year ended October 31, 2010.
In January 2010, the Company purchased a contract to manage the construction of a renewable/alternative energy site in Southern California signaling its change in direction from its prior business model to alternative energy construction management and operations and other types of businesses associated with environmentally friendly operations. The Company placed the contract in its newly formed subsidiary, Applied Concepts for Energy, Inc. (“ACEC”). This operation houses the construction management and facilities operations divisions. This business is dedicated to building and operating renewable/alternative energy, waste to energy, algae production for bio fuels and food for human consumption and other food production using compost created from waste streams. The Southern California project has not been funded by its owner and other technical issue’s have arisen that may cause the project not to be completed or be completed, but without our involvement.
The Company purchased Global Green Resources, Inc. (“GGR”) in March 2010 in keeping with its business model to operate eco friendly businesses. In November 2010, GGR changed its name to Nube, Inc. (“Nube”). This subsidiary provides training for certification of operators and engineers installing or using cloud computing and its associated virtualization components. Nube is in the midst of developing its own cloud services platform for customers to use in training and to facilitate the storage of their data as they become virtualized in their businesses. The training boot camps that have been developed are two intensive training sessions for all aspects and several products required to form each trainee’s virtualization/cloud solution.
Recent Developments
In November 2010, the Company’s subsidiary ACEC signed two joint venture agreements to further its business operations in algae production and the conversion of waste to energy. The agreements include terms for funding, the licensing of patented and non-patented production and manufacturing and growing technologies, site management and project development, site procurement plus other related items. The joint ventures will not begin until funding is in place for their furtherance.
In January 2011, the Company has received a letter committing the first $100,000,000 of financing for the proposed site near Portage Du Fort, Quebec, Canada. Negotiations are ongoing with the governmental agencies necessary to acquire permits and guarantees required to begin construction and operations. The site has recently been designated by the Pontiac MRC Quebec (“MRC”) as the region’s Environmental Industrial Park and the municipal waste collected throughout the region under the MRC must be delivered to the site for eco friendly disposal. This project is under review as a consortium of the MRC and the City of Gatineau, Quebec issued a qualifications request from the general business population within days of ACEC having signed a letter of intent to lease the property for this project in January 2011. The request for qualification requires several businesses from Quebec to be involved and significantly impairs the ability of ACEC or its joint venture partners from controlling its own destiny or operating the facility as it would like to maximize its potential economic impact. We are investigating the opportunity at several other sites in three other Canadian provinces for the utilization of the same technology.
The Board of Directors has determined that ACEC should expand in the United States of America and has begun the planning and development of marketing for this expansion. These communities will need a minimum of 65,000 - 75,000 residents producing 300,000 tons of municipal solid waste, have a taxing authority that collects all the revenue and pays the disposal fees and allows the production and sale of energy from green components to the grid.
Principal Products and Services
The principal services offered by NX Global are project development, locating funding resources and technologies to enhance its core businesses in green environmental projects. The marketing of algae oil for fuel and its biomass for nutraceutical and animal feed is being developed to expand our business model.

Table of Contents
Nube supplies cutting edge virtualization and cloud computing training and is completing development of a cross platform training service. During the coming year, we are seeking opportunities to expand into a shared cloud lab that will allow software testing, training and demonstration facilities that leverage public and private clouds. Further expansion into Virtualization Solution Architecture enhances our scalability and fulfills our customer demand.
ACEC provides project development, site management and operation of the project after construction is complete. These projects are specifically for waste to energy, algae growth and development, carbon capture and growing food for human consumption.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution
The Company has developed a marketing plan to site owners, municipalities and counties, eco-friendly companies and existing waste to energy and algae growers and manufacturers of related equipment.
The Company believes that relationships are the cornerstone of its marketing philosophy. The process of building and maintaining working relationships requires a commitment at all levels of the organization. Our marketing program includes: market research, feasibility studies, public and industry relations, promotion, sales support, customer service, employee relations and training and education. As a result of the complexity of the products offered and the market, management works very hard to ensure that the Company’s employees and representatives have a working knowledge of all products and processes.
Nube, through its association with major computing industry leaders such as Dell, VMware, Arrow ECS, Hewlett Packard and EMC gives us direct access to users, new purchasers, the newest technologies and additional access to colleges and universities doing value added training. These associations have increased our revenue sources from training only to:
• | pay as you perform information technology (“IT”) testing and development for companies and individuals who are considering hosted or cloud services that are seeking proof of concept for their application |
• | practice labs for IT |
• | professional training for virtualization certification |
• | testing and development services for virtualization and cloud computing to Server Message Block (“SMB”) space |
Target customers include small businesses with less than 100 employees and medium businesses with between 100 to 999 employees. Additional customers are health care providers, hospitals, law offices and small or non-profit schools.
ACEC markets directly to contractors, site owners and technology companies for all services provided. The introductions from these marketing contacts have been instrumental in all of the existing projects being developed, which came from these interactions and led to potential joint ventures currently being researched and the exposure for others to make contact with us.
Reliance on Major Customers and Suppliers
During the year ended October 31, 2010 the Company was negotiating with potential customers and joint venture partners, in construction, machinery and building manufacturing, algal science research and growing and sales of products from these ventures. The number of customers is small as there are a limited number customers for most of our products and services.
Nube currently relies on two customers for 100% its training revenue. Two customers, Technology Business Group and VM Trainers represented 81% and 19%, respectively, of the training revenue during the year ended October 31, 2010. In the next fiscal year it will begin utilizing its own software to train using mini boot camps with 15 to 20 trainees per intense two week session.
The Company has a limited group of suppliers but has not had the opportunity to utilize them until permits and sites are available.

Competition
The principal markets in which the Company competes are small with most companies existing in the developmental stage. Little business is done with the sale of our desired end products in North America. While there are many large site development companies, only a handful participate in our niche markets.
Nube competes only with the product resellers and developers who have designed their own training regimens. In several instances they are looking to us to administrate and possibly partner their training regimen so that they may focus on marketing and product development.
Employees
The Company, as of March 5, 2011, employs two full time, no part time employees and three consultants to provide essential services. None of the Company’s employees is represented by a labor union.

ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On December 17, 2009, Nutek International, Inc. filed for an injunction to enjoin an employee of NESNJ from continuing to provide services. The Company believes that the suit has no merit as the employee resigned from the Company on December 22, 2009.
The above litigation was the responsibility of NESNJ, a New Jersey corporation, which was assumed by the buyer as part of the sale of the subsidiary in March 2010.
The Company is a party from time to time to various other legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these other matters will not have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Results of Operations
The Company’s revenue for the year ended October 31, 2010 was $92,808 with no comparative income for the year ended October 31, 2009 due to the sale of NESNJ that had all the prior year’s operations in March 2010. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company realized revenue only from Nube’s training sales that commenced in April 2010.
Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010 totaled $1,022,360, an increase of $479,883 compared to the year ended October 31, 2009. The increases are directly related to the utilization of consultants for the growth of our business and the search for acquisitions.
Interest expense has primarily increased as a result of the amortization of debt discount on the notes payable of approximately $391,000 during the year ended October 31, 2010. Management also expects that interest expense will continue to increase as borrowings for expansion is received.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company recognized a gain of $683,804 on the sale of its New Jersey subsidiary, as a result of the Company’s new business direction, and the operations of the subsidiary was disclosed as discontinued operations.
The Company recognized a gain on its derivative instruments of $184,207 during the year ended October 31, 2010. The derivative instruments are related to the convertible promissory notes issued during the year ended October 31, 2010.
The Company recognized an impairment loss of $807,500 due to the impairment of the construction management contract in the amount of $627,500 since the owner of the project was not able to obtain financing and the impairment of training software and contract in the aggregate amount of $180,000 due to the uncertainty of when, if at all, the Company will be able to recognize revenues from these intangibles.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 and has working capital deficiencies and accumulated deficits. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to continue to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to execute management’s plans to be profitable, generate positive cash flows from operations and to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. Although management continues to pursue these plans and believes it will be successful, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating such profitable operations or obtaining financing on terms acceptable to the Company.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The cash flows from discontinued operations are included in cash flows from operating activities during the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. The cash flows provided by (used in) from discontinued operations were approximately $72,000 and $(343,000) during the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The absence of cash flows from the discontinued operations are not expected to affect future liquidity and capital resources.
During this fiscal year, the Company raised capital from affiliates and through the issuance of notes payable and debentures.
The Company’s working capital deficit decreased by $792,995 during fiscal 2010, so that at October 31, 2010 the deficit was $1,361,937. The Company has no liquidity and working capital is severely strained, as credit lines have been fully utilized. Our working capital deficit is primarily a result of the change in and development of a new core business strategy. It is expected that there will continue to be a working capital deficit until revenues increase significantly.

The addition of the construction management operations provides the expansion to markets such as alternative energy processing, medical treatment and agricultural facilities. The contracts we have and / or are negotiating are all cost plus based, with the add-ons ranging from 8-11%. These new revenues are expected to bring us acceptable financing opportunities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the financial statements the Company is required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values. The Company made no material changes to critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Investments
The Company reviews investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, and the investments are written off when impaired. Impairment, if any, would be determined based on an implied fair value model for determining the carrying value of the investments. The impairment test is a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value. The Company uses management estimates of future cash flows to perform the first step of the investments’ impairment test.

Table of Contents
Estimates made by management include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross margins and operating expenses. The second step is only performed if impairment is indicated after the first step has been performed, as it involves measuring the actual impairment to the investments.

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, and the intangible assets are written off when impaired. Impairment, if any, would be determined based on an implied fair value model for determining the carrying value of the intangible assets. The impairment test is a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value. The Company uses management estimates of future cash flows to perform the first step of the intangible assets’ impairment test. Estimates made by management include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross margins and operating expenses. The second step is only performed if impairment is indicated after the first step has been performed, as it involves measuring the actual impairment to the intangible assets. The intangible assets have been fully impaired (see discussion in the results of operations above).
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (guidance formerly reflected in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”) (“Topic 805”). Topic 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Topic 805 also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
Derivative Instruments
The Company has outstanding convertible debt instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” including “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, the embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and recorded as a liability at fair value on the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded at each reporting period and recorded in gain on derivative instruments, a separate component of other income (expenses).
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company determined that it should record a valuation allowance for the full value of the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss carry-forward. The primary reason for the determination was the lack of certainty as to whether the Company will carry on profitable operations in the future.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In July 2010, the FASB issued a second exposure draft proposing expanded disclosures regarding loss contingencies. This proposal increases the number of loss contingencies subject to disclosure and requires substantial quantitative information to be provided about those loss contingencies. The proposal will have no impact on our accounting for loss contingencies.

Table of Contents
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (the “Update”). The Update provides amendments to FASB ASC 820-10 that require entities to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition the Update requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The disclosures related to Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2010 and the disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2011. The Update requires new disclosures only, and has no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
The Company’s financial statements, together with notes and the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are set forth immediately following Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). In the course of that review, the Company’s management was advised by our independent registered public accounting firm, that during its performance of review and audit procedures with respect to the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2010, it identified a material weakness (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 5) in our internal control over financial reporting.
The material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping and accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees, all of whom are paid as consultants who have bookkeeping and accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. In light of the advice from our independent registered public accounting firm, management has considered adding personnel to the Company’s bookkeeping and accounting operations and determined that the addition of personnel to our bookkeeping and accounting operations is not an efficient use of our limited resources at this time.
Accordingly, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or persons performing similar functions) have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were not effective.

(b) | Changes in internal controls. |
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed 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. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or persons performing similar functions), has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(c) | Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of October 31, 2010, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because of 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 and 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.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of:
Inadequate staffing and supervision within the accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
Because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of October 31, 2010.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent 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 temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
Related Party Transactions
Charter Management, LLC (“Charter”) had funded the operations of the Company with a credit facility. The balance payable to Charter before the reduction described below was $1,347,318. With the execution of the agreement to sell the Company’s New Jersey Subsidiary entered into on January 21, 2010 (the “Agreement”), the debt was extinguished after two principal payments totaling $57,000 and the issuance of a new convertible promissory note to John O’Neill, the former CEO of the Company and owner of Charter, for $400,000. As a result of the extinguishment, the debt was reduced by $890,318, which was reflected as a reduction on the consolidated balance sheet to additional paid-in capital since it was a debt reduction from a related party. Charter was related to the Company through common ownership, but as of May 5, 2010, these parties are no longer affiliates of the Company due to the Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
NX Global, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NX Global Company, Inc. and subsidiaries, formerly known as National Energy Services Company, Inc. (the “Company”), as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 incurred net losses from continuing operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 and working capital deficiencies and accumulated deficits as of October 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS
NX Global, Inc., formerly known as National Energy Services Company, Inc. (“NX Global”) was incorporated on February 17, 1998 in Nevada as Coastal Enterprises, Inc. to engage in an internet-related business. NX Global and National Energy Services Company, Inc., an unaffiliated New Jersey corporation formed in 1995 (“NESNJ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated January 19, 2001, pursuant to which the shareholders of NESNJ on January 19, 2001 were issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock of NX Global, par value $0.001 in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NESNJ, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In September 2010, the Company changed its name to NX Global, Inc.
NX Global together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), are engaged in operating three divisions and various subsidiaries within each division either created by the Company or to be purchased for more rapid growth. The divisions include Renewable Energy Project Management, Renewable Energy Product Sales and Green Internet Technologies.
Renewable Energy Project Management will initially consist of project management and marketing of those services to solar/thermal, bio-fuels and waste to energy project owners. Current various joint ventures investments are being negotiated to enable the Company to get into the markets with signed projects. These projects will include bio-fuel from algae and from pyrolisis of tires, pyrolisis of municipal solid waste to energy, and combination operations of solar/thermal and animal waste pyrolisis.
The Renewable Energy Product Sales division will market to the end user products that reduce the energy cost to home and commercial building users to pennies on the dollars they previously spent and provide revenue for the company through sale of excess energy to the grid. Additional products will include lighting and water systems for commercial structures, some that had been marketed by the Company’s former New Jersey subsidiary.
The Green Internet Technologies Service and Training Division is designed to first assist all affiliated divisions in the marketing of their products and services and will expand into green social networking products and services and training for new technology development and certification initially in the virtualization and cloud computing markets.
Except for the Internet Technologies Service and Training Division that became active in April, 2010, none of the divisions were active during the year ended October 31, 2010. The divisions were formed in February 2010, except for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Concepts for Energy Corp. (“ACEC”), which was previously formed and had no operations through October 31, 2010.
On January 21, 2010, the Company acquired an agreement to manage the construction of a solar/thermal site in California (the “Agreement”). The Agreement required former management to transfer to the seller 13,000,000 of the common shares they held, the Company to issue 10,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $400,000 and a voting preference as if the holder held 50.1% of the outstanding votes of the Company and the settlement of the related party notes payable of approximately $1.3 million with a cash payment of $57,000 and the issuance of a $400,000 convertible promissory note. The settlement of the related party notes payable resulted in an effective reduction of $890,318 in related party debt.
The Agreement also required the resignation of all officers and directors at that time and the placement of a new director and officer to operate the Company. Further requirements caused the 13,000,000 common shares and 10,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued in accordance with the acquisition to be placed in escrow until all sales tax debts had been paid or negotiated for payment and the payment of certain debts to prior management and a counsel to the Company. The shares in escrow were released on April 30, 2010. The Company did not declare any preferred stock dividends for the year ended October 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
In March 2010, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Nube, Inc. (“Nube”), formerly known as Global Green Resources, Inc. (“GGR”) for 6,000,000 restricted common shares with a stock value of $180,000. Nube’s assets consisted of its training software and contract and it had no liabilities. Nube provides training programs for green technologies such as cloud computing and data virtualization. Nube had no revenues until April 2010, at which time it started to recognize revenues from providing training activities. In November 2010, Global Green Resources, Inc. changed its name to Nube, Inc.
These consolidated financial statements reflect the sale of the Company’s New Jersey subsidiary (see Note 11 – Discontinued Operations and Sale of Subsidiary).
Going Concern
The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 and has working capital deficiencies and accumulated deficits as of October 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company also had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to continue to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to execute management’s plans to be profitable, generate positive cash flows from operations and to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. Although management continues to pursue these plans and believes it will be successful, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating such profitable operations or obtaining financing on terms acceptable to the Company.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nube and ACEC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company receives revenues according to agreements with its customers. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered, evidence of a contract exists, the price is fixed or reasonably determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect. When needed, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on information on the collectability of specific accounts. Accounts are considered past due or delinquent based on contractual terms, how recently payments have been received and management’s judgment of collectability. The Company presently has written off all accounts receivable that are more than twelve months old and others that were not expected to be collected. At October 31, 2010, no allowance had been established.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash balances in banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments
The Company reviews investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, and the investments are written off when impaired. Impairment, if any, would be determined based on an implied fair value model for determining the carrying value of the investments. The impairment test is a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value. The Company uses management estimates of future cash flows to perform the first step of the investments’ impairment test.
Estimates made by management include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross margins and operating expenses. The second step is only performed if impairment is indicated after the first step has been performed, as it involves measuring the actual impairment to the investments.
Property and Equipment
All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally three, five or seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
Intangible Assets
The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, and the intangible assets are written off when impaired. Impairment, if any, would be determined based on an implied fair value model for determining the carrying value of the intangible assets. The impairment test is a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value. The Company uses management estimates of future cash flows to perform the first step of the intangible assets’ impairment test.
Estimates made by management include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross margins and operating expenses. The second step is only performed if impairment is indicated after the first step has been performed, as it involves measuring the actual impairment to the intangible assets.
On October 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $807,500 due to (1) the impairment of the construction management contract in the amount of $627,500 since the owner of the project was not able to obtain financing and (2) the impairment of training software and contract in the aggregate amount of $180,000 due to uncertainty of when, if at all, the Company will be able to recognize revenues from the intangibles.

OCTOBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“Topic 805”). Topic 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Topic 805 also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
The following table shows the approximate number of common stock equivalents outstanding at October 31, 2010 and 2009 that could potentially dilute basic income per share, but were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Outstanding at October 31, | ||||||||
2010 | 2009 | |||||||
Warrants | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 | ||||||
Preferred stock – Series B | 44,444,444 | 0 | ||||||
Convertible notes – other | 29,653,336 | 0 | ||||||
Convertible note – related party | 100,042,105 | 0 | ||||||
Total | 175,139,885 | 1,000,000 | ||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of current assets, current liabilities and investments. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for investments approximate fair value since the investments were acquired on October 29, 2010.
Derivative Instruments
The Company has outstanding convertible debt instruments that contain derivative features. The Company accounts for these derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” including “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, the embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and recorded as a liability at fair value on the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded at each reporting period and recorded in gain on derivative instruments, a separate component of other income (expenses).
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2010, the FASB issued a second exposure draft proposing expanded disclosures regarding loss contingencies. This proposal increases the number of loss contingencies subject to disclosure and requires substantial quantitative information to be provided about those loss contingencies. The proposal will have no impact on our accounting for loss contingencies.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (the “Update”). The Update provides amendments to FASB ASC 820-10 that require entities to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition the Update requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The disclosures related to Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2010 and the disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2011. The Update requires new disclosures only, and has no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Propalms International had no revenues and no liabilities and its asset consisted solely of an intangible asset, a worldwide marketing and sales agreement between Propalms Ltd, a UK corporation and Propalms International as of September 2, 2010. The Company and Propalms International agreed to a purchase price of $2.5 million, which is allocated entirely to Propalms International’s intangible asset.

With the execution of the Agreement entered into on January 21, 2010, the debt was extinguished after two principal payments totaling $57,000 and the issuance of a new convertible promissory note to the former CEO of the Company and owner of Charter, for $400,000. As a result of the extinguishment, the debt was reduced by $890,318, which was reflected as a reduction on the consolidated balance sheet to additional paid-in capital since it was a debt reduction from a related party. Charter was related to the Company through common ownership, but as of May 5, 2010, these parties are no longer affiliates of the Company due to the Agreement.
The convertible promissory note is non-interest bearing until maturity and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion price as defined in the agreement. The note matured on January 21, 2011 and is currently in default. Pursuant to agreement, the note bears interest at 10% per annum if not satisfied at maturity. Notes payable – related parties consist of the following at:
October 31 2010 | October 31, 2009 | |||||||
Cost | $ | 400,000 | $ | 1,339,558 | ||||
Less: Debt discount | (400,000 | ) | — | |||||
Add: Amortization of debt discount | 276,692 | — | ||||||
Total | $ | 276,692 | $ | 1,339,558 | ||||
Debt discount is amortized over the term of the note payable.
NOTE 7 -DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In accordance with FASB ASC 815-10 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and FASB ASC 815-40 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In a Company’s Own Stock,” the conversion features associated with the convertible promissory notes – other (see Note 5) and convertible promissory note – related party (see Note 6) represent derivatives. As such, the Company has recognized the amount of $1,101,171 as derivative liabilities at the time of issuance of the debt instruments, which are measured at their aggregate estimated fair value of $717,043, based on Level 2 inputs, at October 31, 2010.

NOTE 8 -SETTLEMENT PAYABLE

This judgment is against NESNJ, a New Jersey corporation that was a wholly-owned subsidiary until its sale in March 2010. The settlement liability was assumed by the buyer as part of the sale of the subsidiary and is included in the gain on sale of subsidiary during the year ended October 31, 2010.
NOTE 9 –INCOME TAXES
The components of the net deferred tax asset are as follows:
For the Years Ended October 31, | 2010 | 2009 | ||||||

Net Deferred Tax Assets | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
The valuation allowance increased approximately $557,000, and $81,000 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company has net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $4,768,000 at October 31, 2010 that will expire, if unused, in various years beginning 2022 through 2030. There are limits on the Company’s ability to use its current net operating loss carry forwards, potentially increasing its future tax liability. The execution of the Agreement (see Note 1) will limit the amount usable in any year of the Company’s net operating losses due to the change in control of the Company within the meaning of the tax laws.
There was no provision for or benefit from income taxes from continuing operations during any period presented. The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate:
For the Years Ended October 31, | 2010 | 2009 | ||||||
Federal statutory tax rate | 34.0 | % | 34.0 | % | ||||

The Company is a party from time to time to various other legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these other matters will not have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Line of Credit
In April 2010, the Company secured a $10,000,000 line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) to facilitate its business model. The Company will be able to draw down on the line of credit after a form S-1 Registration Statement is filed and becomes effective.
NOTE 14 -SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Joint Ventures
In November, the Company’s subsidiary ACEC signed two joint venture agreements to further its business operations in algae production and the conversion of waste to energy. The agreements include terms for funding, the licensing of patented and non-patented production and manufacturing and growing technologies, site management and project development, site procurement plus other related items. The joint ventures will not begin operations until funding is in place for their furtherance.
In January 2011, the Company has received a letter committing the first $100,000,000 of financing for the proposed site near Portage Du Fort, Quebec, Canada. Negotiations are ongoing with the governmental agencies necessary to acquire permits and guarantees required to begin construction and operations. The site has recently been designated by the Pontiac MRC Quebec (“MRC”) as the region’s Environmental Industrial Park and the municipal waste collected throughout the region under the MRC must be delivered to the site for eco friendly disposal. This project is under review as a consortium of the MRC and the City of Gatineau, Quebec issued a qualifications request from the general business population within days of ACEC having signed a letter of intent to lease the property for this project in January 2011. The request for qualification requires several businesses from Quebec to be involved and significantly impairs the ability of ACEC or its joint venture partners from controlling its own destiny or operating the facility as it would like to maximize its potential economic impact.

In November 2010, the Company issued an $8,000, non-interest bearing on demand promissory note.

In February 2011, the Company issued a $25,000 convertible redeemable note that bears interest at 6% interest per annum and matures on February 1, 2013 (the “$25,000 Note”). The $25,000 Note may be converted into the Company’s common stock at 50% of the lowest bid price for four days, including the day of conversion and prior three days.
Stock Issuances
On November 23, 2010, the Company issued 2,150,000 common shares with a fair market value of $23,005 to pay for prepaid fees per an agreement with an investor.
