PART I
ITEM 1.BUSINESS
Business Development
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (“we”, “us”, or “our”) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 6, 1998 as Boyd Energy Corporation for the purpose of developing a mechanical lifting device that would enhance existing stripper well production. We were unable to raise sufficient capital to carry out this business and focused instead on leasing properties and exploring for oil and gas. We changed our name to Barnett Energy Corporation on July 17, 2001.
On July 8, 2005, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (“WBSI”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WBSI, in exchange for 2,573,335 shares of our common stock. As a result of this share exchange, shareholders of WBSI as a group owned approximately 76.8% of the shares then outstanding, and WBSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We changed our name to Worldwide Strategies Incorporated as of June 14, 2005.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of WBSI was accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI. Since we had only minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for our net liabilities at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI. WBSI was incorporated on March 1, 2005 to provide Business Process Outsourcing services.
WBSI incorporated a subsidiary, Worldwide Business Solutions Limited, in the United Kingdom under the Companies Acts 1985 and 1989, on May 31, 2005. This U.K. subsidiary was formed for the purpose of supporting sales and marketing efforts in English-speaking countries. While the subsidiary has a temporary office and bank accounts established, it does not yet have any employees.
On July 31, 2007, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Rx, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Centric”) in exchange for 2,250,000 post-reverse-split shares of our common stock. We filed Articles of Exchange Pursuant to NRS 92A.200 effective July 31, 2007. Centric is no longer in existence.
Effective July 31, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to filing from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.
Our Business Plans
We originally intended to offer call center services, such as technical support, language interpreting, debt collections, and help desk solutions. Then, with the acquisition of Centric, we planned to enter the business of distributing health services and prescription drug discount cards. As of the date hereof, our only plan is to search for merger or acquisition opportunities. We are attempting 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 Link has value. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in this effort.
On April 28, 2011, we accepted a proposal from Euzkadi Corporation of America, S.A. (“Euzkadi”) to enter into a business combination transaction. It is proposed that Euzkadi would acquire 80% of our then issued and outstanding shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Euzkadi.
Consummation of this proposed transaction will be contingent upon the satisfaction of several conditions, including the completion of a satisfactory due diligence investigation and the completion of an audit of Euzkadi’s financial statements that meet the requirements of the reporting rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Employees
As of September 27, 2012, we employed a total of 2 persons, both of which were full-time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Risks Relating To Our Business and Marketplace
We must obtain financing to continue operations. We must engage in debt and/or equity financing in order to continue operations. We do not know the terms on which any financing might be available or if such financing is available on any terms. Such terms may be detrimental to the interests of our existing shareholders. The value of an investment in our common stock could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results. Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms given to our current investors. Shares of common stock that we sell could be sold into the market, which could adversely affect market price.
We are seeking other merger and acquisition opportunities. We may not be able to successfully acquire or merge with another business. Any acquisition or merger that we undertake will require an unspecified amount of additional capital expenditure in the form of planning, due diligence, legal, and accounting fees. We have no substantial experience in completing acquisitions of or mergers with other businesses, and we may be unable to successfully complete such a transaction. Any acquisition or merger we undertake may result in a potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, the issuance of debt and incurrence of expenses related to the transaction.
We have limited operating history and we cannot assure you that we will succeed or be profitable. From March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2012, we generated revenues of only $34,518. We are in the development stage, as that term is defined by certain financial accounting standards. This means that as of July 31, 2012, our planned principal operations had not commenced, as we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital, and developing markets. We cannot assure you that we will be successful or profitable.
We do not have sufficient working capital to pay our debts or our costs of continuing operations. We do not currently have sufficient working capital to pay our debts as they become due or our costs of operating our business. As of July 31, 2012, our working capital deficiency was $773,822. We are dependent upon additional debt or equity financing to pay our debts and the costs of operation. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to begin our planned operations or continue as a going concern, and we may have to either liquidate our company or file for bankruptcy protection from our creditors.
We have significant financial obligations pursuant to past employment agreements that we may not be able to pay. In addition to our debt obligations, we had employment agreements that placed significant accrued salary obligations on us. Once we have raised sufficient capital to begin operation and begin paying our employees pursuant to the employment agreements, we may not be able to pay or otherwise satisfy the obligations that have accrued. If we cannot pay the obligations under the employment agreements, we may lose our employees.
Risks Factors Relating To Our Common Stock
Future equity transactions, including exercise of options or warrants, could result in dilution. In order to raise sufficient capital to implement our planned operations, from time to time, we intend to sell restricted stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors in private placements. Because the stock will be restricted, the stock will likely be sold at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering, and the exercise price of the warrants is likely to be at or even lower than market prices. These transactions will cause dilution to existing stockholders. Also, from time to time, options will be issued to officers, directors, or employees, with exercise prices equal to market. Exercise of in-the-money options and warrants will result in dilution to existing
stockholders. The amount of dilution will depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number of shares involved. In addition, such shares would increase the number of shares in the “public float” and could depress the market price for our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to SEC “Penny Stock” rules. Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment of our common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
| l | Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; |
| l | Disclose certain price information about the stock; |
| l | Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer; |
| l | Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and |
| l | In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. |
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
Since our shares are quoted on the OTC Link, trading volumes and prices may be sporadic because it is not an exchange. Our common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Link. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with limited business operations. There can be no assurance that trading prices previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
We are subject to SEC regulations and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and other trading market rules, which 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.

No underwriters were used in the above stock transactions. We relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) and/or Regulation S as to all of the transactions, as the investors were either deemed to be sophisticated with respect to the investment in the securities due to their financial condition and involvement in our business or were accredited investors. Additionally, none of these investors were U.S. Persons. Restrictive legends were placed on the certificates evidencing the securities issued in all of the above transactions.
| ITEM 6. | SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA |
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
| ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
On July 8, 2005, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (“WBSI”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WBSI, in exchange for 2,573,335 shares of our common stock. As a result of this share exchange, shareholders of WBSI as a group owned approximately 76.8% of the shares then outstanding, and WBSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of WBSI has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI. Since we had only minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 778,539 shares of WBSI common stock for our net liabilities at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.
Effective July 31, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106. All shares and per share amounts in our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-three reverse stock split for all periods presented.
On July 31, 2007, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric in exchange for 2,250,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Centric became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the results of its operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
We currently devote substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets as we continue to be in the development stage.
Results of Operations
During the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no revenue.
Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes totaled $-0- and $107,500 for the year ended July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively, as we ceased accruing salary for James Samuels and our former chief financial officer after July 31, 2011.
We incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $61,500 and $-0- during the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of issuing shares and options to our employees and directors for services.
Professional and consulting fees were $94,423 and $96,292 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Travel expenses totaled $22,008 and $40,950 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the decline due to a decreased level of activity and a focus on cost control.
Contract labor was $-0- and $75,000 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The prior chief financial officer had a contract for services of this amount in 2011.
Insurance expenses totaled $-0- and $11,200 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, with the insurance program discontinued while the company is in development stage.
For the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $4,192 and $4,975, respectively.
Interest expense was $134,918 and $164,426 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2012. For the period from March 1, 2005 to July 31, 2012, we were engaged primarily in raising capital to implement our business plan. Accordingly, we incurred expenses for professional and consulting fees, salaries and payroll taxes, travel, and contract labor, resulting in a net loss of $7,676,380 for the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception through July 31, 2012, we have relied on the sale of equity capital and debt instruments to fund working capital and the costs of developing our business plan. Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,328,108 offset the $2,199,792 used in operating activities and $123,606 used in investing activities. For the year ended July 31, 2012, $50,160 provided by financing activities offset $45,616 used in operating activities.
We had deficiency in working capital of $773,822 at July 31, 2012, primarily as a result of accrued salaries and outstanding notes classified as current liabilities as their maturity dates are within one year of the balance sheet date. Of our current liabilities totaling $782,269, accrued compensation is $410,625. The officers for whom compensation has been accrued have agreed that this compensation will be paid only if the Company successfully obtains sufficient financing to fund its plan of operation.
During the year ended July 31, 2012, we borrowed $71,160. During the 2011 fiscal year, we borrowed $21,000.
Going Concern
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2012, includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring losses, incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year, and have an accumulated deficit of $7,676,380. Based upon current operating levels, we will be required to obtain additional capital or reconfigure our operations in order to sustain our operations through July 31, 2013.
Contractual Obligations
We lease office space on a month-to-month basis at a rate of $150 per month. We have no other contractual commitments.
Plan of Operations
As of the date hereof, we do not have any plans for business operations, merger or acquisition, other than the proposed business combination transaction with Euzkadi. We cannot assure you that this transaction will be completed.
We must raise additional capital to support our ongoing existence while we search for other merger opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financings successfully.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, the impairment of long-lived assets, any potential losses from pending litigation and deferred tax assets or liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Development Stage. We are in the development stage in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” As of July 31, 2012, we had devoted substantially all of our efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.
Stock-based Compensation. The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
Loss per common share. We report net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of July 31, 2012, after recognition of the one-for-three reverse stock split, there were 3,508,328 vested common stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.
New accounting pronouncements
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements includes a complete description of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our Company.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Worldwide Strategies Incorporated, as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years in the periods ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Worldwide Strategies Incorporated as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years in the period ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Worldwide Strategies Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Worldwide Strategies Incorporated suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WORLDWIDE STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Worldwide Strategies Incorporated (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 6, 1998. On March 1, 2005, Worldwide Business Solutions Incorporated (“WBSI”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado. On July 8, 2005, the Company acquired all the shares of WBSI for 76.8% of the Company’s outstanding stock. The acquisition of WBSI has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WBSI. Therefore the historical information prior to the date of recapitalization is the financial information of WBSI.
Effective July 31, 2007 the Company filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209, which decreased the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 33,333,333 and reduced the number of common shares issued and outstanding from 17,768,607 to 5,923,106.
All shares and per share amounts in these Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
On July 31, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Rx, Inc., (“Centric”) in exchange for 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Centric became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the results of its operation have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
Development Stage
The Company and its subsidiaries are in the development stage in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” As of July 31, 2012, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to financial planning, raising capital and developing markets.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company experienced net losses of $317,042, $500,394, and $7,676,380 for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company has incurred liabilities in excess of assets over the past year and, as of July 31, 2012, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,676,380. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient sales volume to cover its operating expenses and to raise sufficient capital to meet its payment obligations. Historically, management has been able to raise additional capital. During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company issued convertible promissory notes, in exchange for $50,160.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at July 31, 2012.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, currently ranging from three to five years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

Depreciation expense for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2012 totaled $-0-, $51, and $140,278, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that long-lived assets to be held be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ASC 360 establishes a single auditing model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
Loss per Common Share
The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share includes the impact of issuing 1,491,743 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and excludes the impact of other contingently exercisable common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of July 31, 2012, there were 3,508,328 vested common stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they are antidilutive.

Notes to Financial Statements
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
Fiscal Year-end
The Company’s year-end is July 31.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value measurements,” which amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures.” ASU 2010-06 requires disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also requires more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. This guidance requires new disclosures only, and had no impact on our financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855).” This update provides amendments to Subtopic 855-10-50-4 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify that an SEC registrant is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The Company has adopted this standard and it had no impact on this financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which contains updated accounting guidance to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are issued. This update requires that a company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This update also requires disclosure of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The provisions of this update, which are to be applied prospectively, are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements will depend on the size and nature of future business combinations.

(7) Income Taxes
A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate follows:
| | For The Years Ended |
| | July 31, |
| | 2012 | | 2011 |
| U.S. statutory federal rate, graduated | 34.00% | | 34.00% |
| State income tax rate, net of federal | 3.06% | | 3.06% |
| Net operating loss (NOL) for which | | | |
| no tax benefit is currently available | -37.06% | | -37.06% |
| | 0.00% | | 0.00% |
At July 31, 2012, the Company fully allowed for any deferred tax asset that it may have as a result of its accumulated losses of $7,676,380. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The net operating loss carry-forward expires through the year 2031.
WORLDWIDE STRATEGIES INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized. At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carry-forwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.
(8) Commitments
Beginning February 2007, the Company commenced a month-to-month lease on a “virtual” office at a rate of $150 per month. Rent expense for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from March 1, 2005 (inception) through July 31, 2012 totaled $1,800, $1,800 and $54,831, respectively.
(9) Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash
The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in a financial institution, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At July 31, 2012, the loss that would have resulted from that risk totaled $-0-. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.
(10) Subsequent Events
In August 2012, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to an unrelated party in exchange for $15,000.
In August 2012, the Company issued 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its VP Finance & CFO as compensation for services to be rendered for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012.
In August 2012, the Company issued options to purchase 550,000 shares of common stock to its VP Finance & CFO and four directors as compensation for services rendered.
In August 2012, the Company issued 116,250 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for interest and an extension on the due date of a Promissory Note.
In September 2012, the Company issued 387,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for interest and an extension on the due date of a Promissory Note.
In October 2012, the Company issue convertible promissory notes to unrelated parties in exchange for $7,500.
In October 2012, the Company issued 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for services rendered.
In October 2012, the Company reached agreement in principle to settle the accrued salaries and expenses owed James P.R. Samuels and W. Earl Somerville. As of September 7, 2012 these amounts totaled $346,926 and 168,801 respectively. The agreement includes Mr. Samuels and Mr. Somerville forgiving a significant amount and receiving convertible promissory notes. Ownership of the company’s United Kingdom subsidiary, Worldwide Business Solutions Limited, would also be transferred to Mr. Samuels in this agreement.

Mr. Kinney has received a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Clinical Christian Counseling from International Theological Seminary in Bradenton Florida.
We believe Mr. Weisberg should serve on the board because of his previous experience in management and with the technology sector.
Committees
Audit Committee. Our audit committee members are Edward J. Weisberg and Robert T. Kane. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee (1) the integrity of our financial statements, controls and disclosure; (2) the qualifications and independence of our independent accountants; (3) the performance of our independent accountants and of its internal audit staff; and (4) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint our independent accountants, subject to any shareholder ratification. The Audit Committee also prepares the annual Audit Committee report required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in our annual proxy statement.
We believe that until such time as the Company acquires a business that it is not necessary to have a financial expert serving on the audit committee.
Compensation Committee. Our compensation committee members are Frank J. Deleo and Gregory Kinney. The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to (1) discharge the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to compensation of our executives and (2) produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.
Nominating Committee. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Company established a Nominating Committee for board membership. Committee members are Gregory Kinney and Frank J. Deleo. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to identify, review credentials of and recommend membership of new board members.
There is no family relationship between any director, executive or person nominated or chosen by us to become a director or executive officer of our company.
Conflicts of Interest
Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. While the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate that such activities will not interfere in any significant fashion with the affairs of our business, in terms of having adequate time to devote to the business of the company.
Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to us. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.
Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies
that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, since we have been focusing our efforts on obtaining financing for the company. We expect to adopt a code by the end of the current fiscal year.
Procedure for Nominating Directors
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Board of Directors established a Nominating Committee through which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
The board of directors will consider candidates for director positions that are recommended by any of our stockholders and approved by the Nominating Committee. Any such recommendation for the annual meeting of stockholders should be provided to our corporate secretary by December 31, 2012. The recommended candidate should be submitted to us in writing addressed to 3801 East Florida Avenue, Suite 400, Denver, Colorado 80210. The recommendation must include the following information: name of candidate; address, phone, and fax number of candidate; a statement signed by the candidate certifying that the candidate wishes to be considered for nomination to our board of directors and stating why the candidate believes that he or she would be a valuable addition to our board of directors; a summary of the candidate’s work experience for the prior five years and the number of shares of our stock beneficially owned by the candidate.
The Nominating Committee will evaluate any recommended candidate and determine whether or not to proceed with the candidate in accordance with our procedures. We reserve the right to change our procedures at any time to comply with the requirements of applicable laws.
