WORLDWIDE STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) 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.
The Company is in the development stage in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” As of October 31, 2009, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.
Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial information presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies in its audited financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2009, included in its annual report on Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company experienced net losses of $83,661, $155,552, and $6,602,967 for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through October 31, 2009, respectively. 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 three-month period ended October 31, 2009, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in exchange for $20,000.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
WORLDWIDE STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. This statement addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”), as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and (2) concern about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under FIN 46(R) do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representation faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement. This statement addresses (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. SFAS 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. The disclosure provisions of this statement should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this statement. The adoption of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(2) Accounts payable, related party
At October 31, 2009, the Company was indebted to two officers for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company totaling $3,769.
(3) Accrued compensation
The Company accrued compensation for the CEO and the CFO for the three month period ended October 31, 2009 in the amount of $45,625. The accrued compensation will only be paid if the Company successfully obtains sufficient financing to fund its plan of operation.
(4) Related party transactions
Accrued charges
During the quarter ended October 31, 2009, various liabilities of the Company in the amount of $8,659 were paid personally by the CEO and CFO. These amounts will be repaid when the Company has sufficient working capital.
(5) Notes payable
During October 2009, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to an unrelated third party in exchange for $20,000. The note which bears interest at 12% is due on April 9, 2010 and the principal and accrued interest is convertible into Series A shares at $.50 per share upon the election of the holder. Interest expense for this note payable was $140 for the three months ended October 31, 2009.

(6) Shareholders’ Deficit
Preferred stock
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors may divide and issue the preferred shares in series. Each series, when issued, shall be designated to distinguish them from the shares of all other series. The relative rights and preferences of these series include preference of dividends, redemption terms and conditions, amount payable upon shares of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, terms and condition of conversion as well as voting powers.
Effective December 15, 2008, the Company established a series of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock to be known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (“Series A”). The shares of Series A have a par value of $0.001 per share. Shares of Series A may be redeemed, for $0.50 per share, at the Company’s option. Each share of Series A may be converted into 6.25 shares of common stock, at the option of the holder.
Shares of Series A will participate in dividends paid, in cash or other property, to holders of outstanding common stock. In the event the Company declares and pays a dividend to common stockholders, five percent (5%) of the value of such dividend shall be paid to the holders of outstanding Series A shares. After payment of the 5% preference, each outstanding Series A share will participate in the distribution of the remaining 95% of the dividend with the holders of common stock, as if each outstanding Series A share were one share of common stock. Any dividend payable to holders of Series A shares will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend payable on the common stock.
Holders Series A shares shall be entitled to vote together with the holders of the common stock as a single class, upon all matters submitted to holders of common stock for a vote. Shares of Series A will vote that number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A, as adjusted from time-to time.
Whenever holders of Series A are required or permitted to take any action by separate class or series, such action may be taken without a meeting by written consent, setting forth the action so taken and signed by the holders of the outstanding Series A shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Effective January 31, 2009, the Company issued 1,304,552 preferred shares at $0.50 in full settlement of notes payable and accrued interest in the amount of $652,274. An additional 16,000 shares were issued for $8,000 in cash.

In September 2009, the Company issued a total of 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for consulting services provided to the Company. The shares were valued at $0.08 per share based on the fair value of the shares when they were issued. This amount ($2,000) is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as consulting fees.

The shares were valued at $0.07 per share based on the fair value of the shares when they were issued.

(7) Income Taxes
The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company incurred net operating losses during all periods presented resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefits and expense resulted in $0 income taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(8) Letters of Intent
NewMarket Technology, Inc.
In February 2008, the Company entered into a letter of intent with NMKT. Pursuant to the letter of intent, NewMarket will acquire a majority interest in the Company in exchange for (i) the assumption of all of the Company’s outstanding debts and (ii) the payment of $100,000. NMKT’s ownership interest will be protected from dilution for three years. The transaction is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase agreement and the completion of due diligence. Withdrawal from the transaction by either party will subject the withdrawing party to a claim for the legal and due diligence expenses of the other party, not to exceed $100,000.
In March 2009, the Company entered into a second letter of intent with NMKT. Pursuant to the second letter of intent, the Company will acquire a majority interest in NMKT’s Latin America subsidiary in exchange for the Company’s preferred non-convertible shares sufficient to ensure a majority interest position of the Company will be owned by NMKT. The transaction is subject to the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase agreement and the completion of due diligence. The parties have agreed that the prior letter of intent entered in February 2008 will be replaced by the new letter of intent.
The Company received $75,000 from NMKT as partial payment of item (ii) in the letter of intent. Both parties are engaged in the negotiation of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase agreement and the completion of due diligence.
(9) Subsequent Events
On November 13, 2009, the Company issued a promissory note to an unrelated third party in exchange for $25,000. The note bears interest at 8% and is due on May 31, 2010.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended July 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.
Overview
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (“we”, “us”, or “our”) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 6, 1998 as Boyd Energy Corporation for the purpose of developing a mechanical lifting device that would enhance existing stripper well production. We were unable to raise sufficient capital to carry out this business and focused instead on leasing properties and exploring for oil and gas. We changed our name to Barnett Energy Corporation on July 17, 2001.
On July 8, 2005, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (“WBSI”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WBSI, in exchange for 2,573,335 shares of our common stock. As a result of this share exchange, shareholders of WBSI as a group owned approximately 76.8% of the shares then outstanding, and WBSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We changed our name to Worldwide Strategies Incorporated as of June 14, 2005.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of WBSI was accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI. Since we had only minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for our net liabilities at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI. WBSI was incorporated on March 1, 2005 to provide Business Process Outsourcing services.
WBSI incorporated a subsidiary, Worldwide Business Solutions Limited, in the United Kingdom under the Companies Acts 1985 and 1989, on May 31, 2005. This U.K. subsidiary was formed for the purpose of supporting sales and marketing efforts in English-speaking countries. While the subsidiary has a temporary office and bank accounts established, it does not yet have any employees.
On July 31, 2007, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Rx, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Centric”) in exchange for 2,250,000 post-reverse-split shares of our common stock. We filed Articles of Exchange Pursuant to NRS 92A.200 effective July 31, 2007.
Effective July 31, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to filing from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.
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.
Plan of Operation
On February 14, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with NewMarket Technology, Inc. (“NMKT”). It is proposed that NMKT will acquire a majority interest in our Company in exchange for (i) the assumption of all of our outstanding debts and (ii) the payment of $100,000. NMKT’s ownership interest would be protected from dilution for three years. As of the date hereof, our only plan is to be acquired by NMKT and NMKT has paid us $75,000 of its $100,000 deposit obligation pursuant to the letter of intent.
If we fail to complete the transaction with NMKT, we may attempt to market the Company as a “shell company” as we believe that its status as a reporting company whose stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board has value. Alternatively, we may be forced to raise additional capital to support our ongoing existence while we search
for other merger opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in marketing the Company as a “shell” or that we will be able to complete additional financings successfully.
Recent Financing Activity
In October and November 2009, we raised a total $45,000 through the issuance of convertible notes payable. We utilized these funds to reduce outstanding accounts payable. During the quarter ended October 31, 2009, our CEO and CFO advanced us $8,659 for the payment of various liabilities.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, the impairment of long-lived assets, any potential losses from pending litigation and deferred tax assets or liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Development Stage. We are in the development stage in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” As of October 31, 2009, we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.
Stock-based Compensation. We account for compensation expense for our stock-based employee compensation plans using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires us to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method. We account for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”
Loss per Common Share. We report net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of October 31, 2009, there were 6,724,695 and 5,033,364 common stock options and warrants outstanding, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes totaled $26,875 and $61,335 for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, a decrease of $34,460.
We did not incur any stock-based compensation expense during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Professional and consulting fees totaled $27,543 and $23,429 for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Travel expenses totaled $1,493 and $1,991 during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Contract labor expenses totaled $18,750 and $37,500 during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. The decrease relates to lower compensation for our CEO and CFO.
Insurance expenses totaled $5,215 and $12,475 during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. The decrease was caused by a further decrease in employee health benefits.
Depreciation of $155 and $1,395 was recorded during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. Almost all of our equipment is fully depreciated and, therefore, our depreciation expense has decreased substantially.
Other general and administrative expenses totaled $3,490 and $3,199 during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
We recorded $140 and $14,228 in interest expense for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008. Effective January 31, 2009, we converted many of our outstanding debts into preferred stock. Our outstanding debt during this last quarter was substantially lower than the debt of the previous year.
During the first fiscal quarter, we issued a new promissory note for $20,000. This debt accrues interest at 12% per annum.
Our net loss was $83,661 and $155,552 for three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, a $71,891 improvement.
March 1, 2005 (inception) to October 31, 2009. For the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) to October 31, 2009, we were engaged primarily in raising capital to implement our business plan. Accordingly, we have earned revenue of only $34,518. We incurred expenses for professional and consulting fees, salaries and payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, travel, contract labor, insurance, interest and other expenses resulting in an accumulated loss of $6,602,967. More than half of the cumulative net loss is due to the recognition of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for issuing shares, options, and warrants to employees and third parties in the amount of $3,374,953. As we develop our business plan, we expect that cash generated through operations will replace many of the non-cash transaction structures currently utilized to implement our business plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have relied on the sale of equity capital and debt instruments to fund working capital and the costs of developing our business plan. For the three months ended October 31, 2009, net cash of $20,000 provided by financing activities offset the $19,626 used in operating activities resulting in a $374 increase in cash. We obtained $20,000 through the issuance of debt. We have a working capital deficit of $194,901 at October 31, 2009, as compared to $123,395 at July 31, 2009.
As discussed above, we have had minimal revenues and have accumulated a deficit of $6,602,967 since inception. Furthermore, we have not commenced our planned principal operations. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our business plan.
Our significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Historically, we have been able to raise additional capital sufficient to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that this additional capital will be sufficient for us to implement our business plan or achieve profitability in our operations. Additional equity or debt financing will be required to continue as a going concern. Without such additional capital, either from NMKT or from a debt or equity offering by our Company, there is doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND MARKETPLACE
If we do not complete the change of control transaction with NMKT, we must obtain financing to continue operations. If we do not complete the transaction with NMKT, we must engage in debt and/or equity financing in order to continue operations. We do not know the terms on which any financing might be available or if such financing is available on any terms. Such terms may be detrimental to the interests of our existing shareholders. The value of an investment in our common stock could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results. In addition to the 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that has been authorized, other 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 such other preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms given to our current investors. Shares of common stock that we sell could be sold into the market, which could adversely affect market price.
If we complete our planned transaction with NewMarket Techology, Inc., there will be a change in control. We have entered into letters of intent with NMKT whereby it is proposed that NMKT will obtain a majority interest in our Company. If this transaction is completed, NMKT will have voting control of the Company and will likely put in new management. The ownership interests of existing shareholders will be diluted as well.
If we do not complete the proposed transaction with NMKT, we will seek other merger and acquisition opportunities. We may not be able to successfully acquire or merge with another business. Any acquisition or merger that we undertake will require an unspecified amount of additional capital expenditure in the form of planning, due diligence, legal, and accounting fees. We have no substantial experience in completing acquisitions of or mergers with other businesses, and we may be unable to successfully complete such a transaction. Any acquisition or merger we undertake may result in a potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, the issuance of debt and incurrence of expenses related to the transaction.
As a development stage company, we cannot assure you that we will succeed or be profitable. We have been in business for a little more than four years. From March 1, 2005 (inception) through October 31, 2009, we generated revenues of only $34,518 and accumulated a net loss of $6,602,967. We are in the development stage, as that term is defined by certain financial accounting standards. This means that as of October 31, 2009, our planned principal operations had not commenced, as we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital, and developing markets. We cannot assure you that we will be successful or profitable.
As discussed above, we have had minimal revenues and have accumulated a net loss since inception. Our future is dependent upon completing the change of control transaction with NMKT or our ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our business plan. Therefore, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
We have significant numbers of convertible securities outstanding, which, if converted, will result in substantial dilution. We have preferred stock, stock options, and warrants outstanding which can all be converted or exercised into common stock. Our outstanding Series A shares can be converted, without additional consideration, into 8,616,519 shares of common stock. The outstanding Series A shares already have the right to vote 8,616,519 common share equivalent votes on any matter placed before the common shareholders for a vote.
We have 6,724,695 stock options and 5,033,364 warrants outstanding, with varying exercise prices. The exercise of the options and warrants into common stock will result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
Future equity transactions, including exercise of options or warrants, could result in dilution. In order to raise sufficient capital to fund operations, from time to time, we intend to sell restricted stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors in private placements. Because the stock will be restricted, the stock will likely be sold at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering, and the exercise price of the warrants is likely to be at or even lower than market prices. These transactions will cause dilution to existing stockholders. Also, from time to time, options will be issued to officers, directors, or employees, with exercise prices equal to market. Exercise of in-the-money options and warrants will result in dilution to existing stockholders. The amount of dilution will depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number of shares involved. In addition, such shares would increase the number of shares in the “public float” and could depress the market price for our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to SEC “Penny Stock” rules. Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment of our common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
· | Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; |
· | Disclose certain price information about the stock; |
· | Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer; |
· | Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and |
· | In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. |
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
Since our shares are trading on the “OTC Bulletin Board”, trading volumes and prices may be sporadic because it is not an exchange. Our common shares are currently trading on the “OTC Bulletin Board.” The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with limited business operations. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
We are subject to SEC regulations and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and other trading market rules, are creating uncertainty for public companies. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest appropriate resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all required information is presented in our quarterly report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
