PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we", "our" "us" or WTS refers to WorldTradeShow.com, Inc.
WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. (the Company) was originally formed on September 15, 1995 as Interactive Processing, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to market high-tech consumer electronics through television home-shopping networks, retail stores, catalog companies and their website remotecontrols.com. In March 1999, the Company changed its name to WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. During the same month, the Company acquired intellectual property rights to a database and business plan and significantly changed its business plan to develop tradeshow software and market both physical and virtual tradeshow space through the Companys website. The Company has not yet commenced operations and therefore, is considered to be a development stage enterprise.
Business development: We began with a business plan and business model that has been put into a CD Rom presentation. In 1999 we acquired a database of over 11,000 tradeshow managers, complete with contact information for the majority of all tradeshows in North America. This database was purchased from Chaiisai Tora, Inc., a non affiliate of the Company. The database will be used when WTS completes its Virtual Trade Show.
In mid 2000, WorldTradeShow.com (WTS), acquired DudeSmart.com for 1,200,000 restricted (Rule 144) common shares valued at $264,000 The Company accepted a proposal to exchange 1,200,000 shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dudesmart.com, Inc. At the time of the transaction, the shares were valued at $.22 per share (estimated value $264,000), and had about 12.3 million shares outstanding. The common stock issued as consideration for the purchase of DudeSmart.com was valued based on accordance with paragraph 18 of SFAS 142.
DudeSmart.com is an entertainment portal. WTS has received a business plan (Business Plan an interactive CD Rom presentation format. DudeSmart.com will be the entertainment division providing discounts on restaurants, travel/tours discounts, golf tours using the WTS Discount Card. We are unaware of (or do not believe there is) any other company currently doing business in Vietnam utilizing any kind of discount card or entertainment book. We plan to market the Discount Card through the following websites Hotels.com.vn, MyBajaGuide.com, and WorldTradeShow.com. We plan to introduce the Discount Card to travel agents, travel tour companies, rental car companies, restaurants, in Vietnam, as well as Mexico.
The WTS Discount Card will be marketed with our partners, affiliates, alliances, both online and offline, and is expected to be introduced into the Mexican market during the second quarter of 2006.
WTS seeks to penetrate into Vietnam as an online vehicle for Vietnamese companies to promote themselves. We have an opportunity to market, www.hotels.com.vn, the largest travel and tourism online website in the country of Vietnam, as well as being recognized as the official travel/tourism website of Vietnam.
In February of 2003, WTS signed a license agreement with Hi-Tek Multimedia, Inc., a California-based software company owned by Thomas and Lee Johnson, our controlling shareholders, for the reservation engine. The consideration paid for the license was 27.5 million shares of our common stock. We utilized an historical stock price analysis to determine that $0.01 was a fair price for the shares issued to the licensor in this transaction. We reviewed the illiquidity of our shares trading in the Pink Sheets and the daily closing market price and trading volume of the shares for the sixty day period prior to the transaction. During this time, the pricing ranged $0.005 to $0.015 per share. We concluded that the trading of our stock in the Pink Sheets may not reflect the fair price of the stock because of the thin trading market, wide bid-ask spread and large volatility in historical stock prices. Additionally, we considered the fact that the shares being issued to Hi-Tek are restricted securities that are unregistered, and which cannot be traded in the public marketplace. Based on this analysis, the consideration price of $0.01 per share was determined to be fair.
The reservation engine software is the key to many of the functions for our online e-commerce. WTS collects revenue online with back-end accounting functions. WTS also signed a service agreement with Hi-Tek, enabling WTS to move forward without any significant expenditure of funds. Hi-Tek is obligated to pay for everything until WTS obtains necessary private placement funding. WTS will be seeking a private placement upon trading on the NASD OTC BB.
Since 2003, Hi-Tek has introduced WTS to the Vietnamese government, various Mexican hotel associations, and other top travel agencies. WTS has signed contracts and memorandum of understandings with Business.com.vn, a Vietnamese company, Dot.vn, Hotels.com.vn, MyBajaGuide.com, Maxsima Discount Card, the Vietnam Technology Information Center (VTIC), and the Hanoi Business Association. As a result, WTS has formed a network, enabling it to operate in both Vietnam and Mexico.
Currently, WTS is marketing Hotels.com.vn, and will also market, MyBajaGuide.com, a Mexican hotel web portal with up to 700 hotels, golf courses, resorts conventions, and tours throughout Baja California in the spring of 2006. The launch is expected to be during the spring of 2006, and will enable WTS to generate revenue through sales, reservations and discount cards.
WTS is currently designing templates, functionalities, colors, fonts and other add-ins in a Flash Presentation of a Virtual Booth. WTS has previous designs, which can be viewed on the WTS CD Rom presentation.
WTS has rapidly moved forward in implementing its Business Plan from 2003 to -2006, through software agreements, Hi-Tek service agreements, contacts, marketing agreements, and databases. WTS anticipates it will require approximately $1,350,000 to complete Phase I of the Business Plan which will include, hiring sales and marketing staff, create an, e-commerce, multiple language software, and completing the entertainment division.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2004, the website went live and started to generate revenue.
To date, management has financed the growth of WTS through loans from management, shareholders and from its major vendor and majority shareholder, Hi-Tek Multimedia, Inc. ("Hi-Tek"). WTS to date has no written agreements for such loans or financing agreements.
WTS has retained Hi-Tek to design, program and implement the following:

MARKETING
HOTELS.COM.VN. WTS has a marketing agreement with Business.com.VN to market Vietnams largest hotel web portal. It is anticipated that as many as 3,000 hotels and over 200 tour companies will be listed to promote tourism in Vietnam. This agreement has the support of the Vietnam Tourism Association (VITA) (www.VietnamTourism.com ), directly under Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), whose members include various Vietnamese enterprises, commercial organizations and individuals in the travel/tourism industry.
BUSINESS.COM.VN and WTS have the exclusive e-commerce global business platform to promote, market and sell products and services of qualified Vietnamese companies. WTS is currently working with the Vietnamese government to produce a comprehensive business to business directory (B2B) and business to consumer directory (B2C) for companies throughout Vietnam.
WWW.DOT.VN. WTS is working closely with Dot.vn to market and distribute these domains on its business web portal. WTS anticipates receiving proceeds from the partnership agreement in spring of 2006 . In addition WTS is currently working with Dot.vn and Business.com.vn to cross-market through their respective databases.
WTS plans to use established traditional venues, as well as Internet channels to establish WorldTradeShow.com as an international online tradeshow "brand".
ADVERTISING. WTS plans to initiate an aggressive print, billboard, television, radio, and event sponsorship campaign to attract target markets and to penetrate new markets and lead customers to its website. Print media advertsing will include a variety of publications. Radio and televisions advertising will include both domestic and international markets. WTS also anticipates exchanging advertising space its WorldTradeShow.com website for space on other sites.
VIRAL MARKETING. WTS plans to brand its name worldwide using an innovative email technique known as viral marketing, which describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Like viruses, these strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands and possibly millions of others. Viral marketing is the ability to get consumers to tell each other about your product, service or Website so you can spend less money on advertising. It's also known as "pass-along," "friend-tell-a-friend," and "evangelism" marketing. This form of marketing is for opt-in subscribers only.
WORLDWIDE BANNER PLACEMENT. WTS plans to place hyper-linked advertising banners in highly visible locations on the World Wide Web for its target audience.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION. WTS plans to design its homepage in a multi-lingual format with country-specific indexes to attract potential visitors from other countries utilizing major search engines. The WorldTradeShow.com homepage will contain keywords in various languages in order that search engines will place the WorldTradeShow.com. website at the top of the search engine listings when a search associated with trade shows or conventions is requested in other languages.
STRATEGIC LINKING. WTS plans to pursue strategic website partnering to develop long-term traffic to WorldTradeShow.com. Through web rings, partners, alliances and affiliates, WTS will can offer strategic linking on multiple websites to target specific advertising.
INTERNET (CYBER) CAFES. Internet cyber cafes are emerging as one of the easiest, convenient and fastest growing methods to access the Internet. Providing an alternative Internet access point to home or office computers, cyber cafes are especially popular in Asia. WTS plans to establish strategic alliances with these cafes to penetrate the Asian regions.
AFFILIATE PARTNER MARKETING PROGRAMS. WTS plans to use affiliate partner marketing programs to attract traffic to its website. A person or entity with a website signs up to be an affiliate of WorldTradeShow.com, placing a banner or text link on its website directing visitors to the WorldTradeShow.com website. As a visitor clicks-through, a cookie (a small text file containing the referring affiliate's identification number assigned by WTS) will be placed on the visitor's browser. If the visitor purchases reservations from WorldTradeShow.com's website, the ordering system and affiliate's software work together to attach the referring affiliate's identification number held in the cookie to the sale, using that information to credit the affiliate with the agreed commission for the referral.
RESELLER PROGRAM WTS also plans to use a reseller program for major established distribution networks to resell WorldTradeShow.com reservations through an existing large network of websites. The reseller program would be sold through WTS's business development direct sales efforts to select distribution networks.
COMPETITION
WTS expects competition for online hotel reservations from companies such as Expedia and Travelocity. However, WorldTradeShow.coms unique combination of features (which includes online tradeshows, travel/tourism and meeting/conventions) distinguishes it from all others. Because of this combination of features, WTS believes it currently has no direct competition.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
WTS has not directly engaged in research and development activities. Hi-Tek has developed and deployed WorldTradeShow.com's promotional website with FLASH animation technology. WTS will retain the proprietary rights to the website content and related technology.

GENERAL
The Company's operating results have fluctuated in the past and may in the future fluctuate significantly, depending upon a variety of factors, including the timely deployment and expansion of new network, the incurrence of related capital costs, variability and length of the sales cycle associated with the Company's product and service offerings, the receipt of new value-added network services and consumer services subscriptions and the introduction of new services by WTS and its competitors.
Additional factors that may contribute to variability of operating results include but are not limited to: the pricing and mix of services offered by the Company; customer retention rate; market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's services; changes in pricing policies by the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited-source components; user demand for services; the ability to manage potential growth and expansion; the ability to identify, acquire and integrate successfully suitable acquisition candidates; and charges related to acquisitions. In response to competitive pressures, the Company may take certain pricing or marketing actions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In the event that the Company's operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of the Company's common stock would likely decline.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We have a development strategy for the implementation of Phase I of the plan, which will require $1,350,000 to complete. We have historically financed our operations through working capital provided by loans from management and our major vendor and controlling shareholder, Hi-Tek.com, Inc. owned by Thomas and Lee Johnson. For the time being the Company anticipates that current operations will continue to be funded by shareholder loans or debt from our vendor and majority shareholder, Hi-Tek, until revenue from operations can sustain the cash flow requirements of the Company. For 2006 we have a commitment from our majority shareholders to fund our operations for that calendar year. Additionally, we may pursue additional private placement financing through close associates or friends and family members of management and our controlling shareholders. There can be no assurances that additional capital will be available on terms favorable to us or at all, or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow in order to sustain operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. In the event that we experience the need for additional capital, and are not able to generate capital from financing sources or from future operations, management may be required to modify, suspend or discontinue our operations and business plan.
The funds to complete Phase I, are projected by management to be used as follows: online and offline marketing programs, marketing Hotels.com.vn, utilizing the reservation software and completing online tradeshow software. The Company plans on obtaining the necessary joint ventures, licenses, alliances and affiliates to market the web portal. WTS plans to higher sales and marketing staff in Vietnam and Mexico to complete agreements that already in place. The Company also plans on hiring people, obtaining more agreements and alliances in Vietnam and Mexico.
November 2005-January 2006
WTS plans on pushing sales and marketing in Vietnam for Hotels.com.vn. The marketing has begun through search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Hotels.com.vn is beginning to work with tour companies in Vietnam and working out alliance and affiliate programs to start to promote tour packages. The selling of a tour package will give multiple reservations with groups of people reserving rooms thus boosting the revenues for Hotels.com.vn
WTS and Hotels.com.vn are continuing to sign up 1 and 2 star hotels in Vietnam under 3 year contracts. The majority of hotels in the Vietnam are 1 and 2 star hotels, totaling approximately 3,000. Within the 64 provinces of Vietnam there are many hotels that are not 3, 4, or 5 stars, and the majority of these Hotels do not have websites. WTS and Hotels.com.vn supply these hotels with template websites so they can accept reservations online through the reservation engine. WTS projects that it will need additional sales and marketing staff as well as more customer care employees in Vietnam.
Currently, we have contracts with over 258 which is an increase of approximately 60 more hotels in Vietnam. , andWe have contracted with over 90% of the 3-5 star hotels in Vietnam - the 2 star hotel signing is ongoing. Hotels.com.vn has been featured on Vietnamese television during a news television program, and has received an award from the Ministry of Trade in Vietnam. Hotels.com.vn was awarded the number one e-commerce travel tourism website and was ranked 13 th overall in the Country of Vietnam. We expect to penetrate the hotel market with further funding for marketing in and out of Vietnam.
WTS has redesigned and launched the WorldTradeShow.com website. The new website has been redesigned to market specifically to Vietnam and Mexican tourism markets. Users are now able to make reservations for hotels in either country: via Hotels.com.vn for Vietnam, or Mybajaguide.com for Mexico. MyBajaGuide.com is slated to be launched in the spring of 2006. WTS has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MyBajaGuide.com for marketing their hotels, tours, restaurants, golf and businesses.
February - April 2006:
The launching of MyBajaGuide.com is slated to be launched in spring of 2006. WTS has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MyBajaGuide.com for marketing their hotels, tours, restaurants, golf resorts and businesses.
WTS projects launching the MyBajaGuide.com website this quarter, and the Company anticipates the need for additional sales and marketing staff in Mexico for this project. WTS will market the WTS Discount Card through the MyBajaGuide and WorldTradeShow Websites, and in newspapers and magazines in Mexico. WTS has initiated meetings with potential alliances and affiliates in both Mexico and Vietnam. We expect to have new agreements and MOUs announced during this quarter.
WTS will market MyBajaGuide.com, through newspapers, magazines, and tour companies in both California and Mexico. WTS will be working with current alliances and affiliates to cross-market hotel specials and discounts to advertise through websites, magazines, coupons, both on and offline.
WTS plans on officially inviting the Vietnamese Government tourism departments to our offices in late April of 2006. Invitations will be sent to VNAT, VNNIC, Saigon Tourist, Consulate General of Vietnam San Francisco, and other affiliates and alliances in the USA, and Mexican. WTS is co-hosting a trade convention to showcase the Countries of Vietnam and Mexico tourism in late April 2006.
May - July 2006:
WTS will continue to market Hotels.com.vn and MyBajaGuide.com site during this quarter. Our target alliances and affiliates will be companies working in travel tourism in Asia and Latin America, including American and European travel and tourism Companies.
The DudeSmart.com division will be working on the WTS Discount Card for the Mexico and cross-market into Vietnam. The WTS Discount Card will be introduced to the Mexican market through a sales and marketing program in Baja, Mexico. The MyBajaGuide.com and WorldTradeShow.com websites will advertise and market and users will be able to download a temporary card from either website. WTS will first target hotels and restaurants, followed by golf clubs, travel tour companies, and rental car companies. The Discount Card will enable WTS to sign up more members to the MyBajaGuide.com website, and the sales staff in Mexico is excited to begin the project. Vendors have also expressed high interest in this program.
August October 2006:
WTS anticipates hiring additional sales and marketing staff in Vietnam and Mexico to expand the hotel portals. Features and benefits such as the WTS Discount Card, tour packages, golf packages are planned in both Mexico and Vietnam.
WTS plans to sponsor golf tournaments in Vietnam, Mexico and the USA on the same day in all three countries. The WTS Discount Card will be one of the sponsors, and we plan on having television, newspapers, and magazines covering the event as well as some celebrities making appearances. This will be part of our marketing and branding of WTS in three different Countries.
Use of Proceeds of $1,350,000 USD:
Operations USA: $400k
Vietnam Expansion: $200k
Mexican Expansion: $200k
Marketing online: $300k
Marketing offline: $250k
As of November 30, 2005 we have expended $150,000 of the $1,500,000. WTS has expended the initial funds on the back-end operations of MyBajaGuide.com, and the hiring of sales staff and web designers in the Tijuana office. The company believes that an additional $1,350,000 of funding will be required to complete Phase I.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Intangibles and long-lived assets
Chaiisai Tora, Inc.

In consideration given for these intangibles, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock valued at $2.00 per share, or $50,000. As of May 1, 2002, the asset has been fully amortized.

At the time of the transaction, the shares were valued at $.22 per share (estimated value $264,000). Dudesmart.com will be the entertainment division for the Company specializing in the entertainment and gaming industry. The Company anticipates that the Dudesmart.com will achieve operational status by the summer of 2006
Hi-Tek Multimedia License Agreement
On April 24, 2003, the Company announced acquiring an Internet Reservations Software License Agreement, in exchange for issuing 27,500,000 common shares. At the time of the transaction the shares were valued at $0.01 (estimated value $275,000) to Hi-Tek Multimedia, a related party (Note 8). The license agreement was accounted for as an intangible asset on the balance sheet. The Company impaired $209,955 for the period ending April 30, 2005 leaving a net balance of $65,045, which the company believes it can recapture during the remainder of the licensing agreement.
Business.com.vn Marketing License Agreement
In February 2004, the Company entered into a marketing license agreement with Business.com.vn. Business.com.vn is the owner of a website that promotes the online sale of hotel and tour packages on behalf of participating hotels and tour operators.
The term of the marketing license agreement is for two years and requires the Company to pay a licensing fee of $150,000 and $300,000 for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The license fees for 2004 and 2005 are payable by August 10, 2004 and February 10, 2005, respectively. The Company has negotiated to defer the license fee payment until February 10, 2007.

The Company impaired $274,315 for the year ending April 30, 2005, leaving a net balance of $175,685, which the company believes it can recapture during the remainder of the license agreement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2005
As of April 30, 2005, the Company had cash of $421, current liabilities of $3,344,315 and long term liabilities of $481,172. We anticipate that current operations will continue to be funded by shareholder loans or debt from our primary vendor and majority shareholder, Hi-Tek, until revenue from operations can sustain the cash flow requirements of the Company. We plan on signing a renewal of our service agreement with Hi-Tek to run for an additional 12 months through 2006, which provides for the payment of our monthly operating expenses and will allow us to operate without additional funding for the next twelve months.
PERIOD ENDING OCTOBER 31, 2005
As of October 31, 2005, the Company had cash of $151.57, current liabilities of $3,558,776 and long term liabilities of $498,202. We anticipate that current operations will continue to be funded by shareholder loans or debt from our primary vendor and majority shareholder, Hi-Tek, until revenue from operations can sustain the cash flow requirements of the Company. We plan on signing a renewal of our service agreement with Hi-Tek to run for an additional 12 months through 2006, which provides for the payment of our monthly operating expenses and will allow us to operate without additional funding for the next twelve months.
Once the Company is beyond development stage, it will seek to negotiate stock for debt. We cannot predict when such operations will be attained.
PUBLIC COMPANY EXPENSES
We will incur direct and indirect costs associated with our status as a public company. Among the most significant are the costs associated with compliance with the public reporting obligations imposed by the Commission, which have been greatly increased as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Many of the requirements of this legislation are only now being felt as a result of the phase-in schedule for smaller public companies. Direct costs associated with compliance with the Commissions public reporting requirements include, but are not limited to auditing fees, legal fees, financial printer fees and miscellaneous clerical and other administrative expenses, such as word processing, conversion to EDGAR, telephone and fax charges associated with the preparation and filing 3of periodic reports, proxy materials and other reports and statements with the Commission.
We believe that our direct costs of complying with the Commissions public reporting requirements are estimated to approximate $200,000 annually, based on estimated annual audit and accounting fees of $50,000, estimated annual legal fees of $20,000, estimated financial printer fees of $10,000, estimated transfer agent fees of $10,000, estimated costs associated with filing reports with the Commission (including internal administrative staff) of $20,000, estimated costs for directors and officers insurance of $50,000, estimated ongoing costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance of $20,000 and estimated miscellaneous costs of $20,000. Indirect costs associated with compliance with our public reporting obligations include, among other things, the time our executive officers expend to prepare and review our periodic reports. Because we have only a few executive personnel, these indirect costs are substantial. Due to additional regulations and compliance procedures required of public companies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we expect that the direct and indirect costs identified above will increase in the future.
We anticipate the sources of funds used to pay for such costs shall be through Hi-Teks service agreement to provide funding for miscellaneous operating expense.
#
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING
To date, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through related party debt and equity financings. The Company has received $90,352 in cash advances and $930,082 for services from its primary shareholder. The Company's principal uses of cash are to fund working capital requirements. The Company hopes that it will generate positive cash flow from operations within the next twelve-month period. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in securing additional financing, and if secured, it will be sufficient to satisfy working capital needs.
LONG-TERM FINANCING
The Company believes that its anticipated funds from operations will be insufficient to fund its working capital and other requirements through April 30, 2006. Therefore, the Company will be required to seek additional funds either through debt or equity financing to finance its long-term operations ("Additional Funds"). Should the Company fail to raise the additional funds; the Company will have insufficient funds for the Company's intended operations for the next twelve months that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's long-term results of operations.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
As previously discussed in the Plan of Operations, the Company intends to raise $ 1,500,000 which it plans to utilize over the next twelve months, to further develop and market Hotels.com.vn and finish its online tradeshow software.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We maintain our headquarters at 9449 Balboa Avenue, Suite 114 San Diego, California 92123. We rent these offices, comprising approximately 1,100 square feet, on a month-to-month basis from a related party, Hi-Tek as part of our Services Agreement with this firm. Rent expense for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 was approximately $35,000 and $45,000, respectively.

The other individual extended his agreement at terms similar to the original agreement through June 30, 2001. Each of the three individuals agreed not to withdraw a consulting fee until sufficient funding is secured. At that time, each individual has the option, in his sole discretion, to withdraw cash or to apply the amount owned to him by the Company to the strike price of options held by each of these executive officers.
As of April 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has unpaid consulting fees to officers / directors of approximately $1,894,396 and $1,692,200, respectively. $1,050,000 of these fees currently bear interest at a rate of 12 percent.

Long Term Incentive Plans (Options)
There are no long- term incentive plans currently in effect. However, the Board of Directors has granted the directors and officers of the Company stock options. To the date of this filing these options have not been exercised.
STOCK OPTIONS
On June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,350,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 per share, vest over a three-year period, beginning June 1, 2000 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of April 30, 2003, no options had yet been exercised. These options were subsequently cancelled and new options issued. As of June 2000 consulting agreements provided for the options to be purchased at below the Companys market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded consulting fees relating to these options of $140,630.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 250%; risk-free interest rate of 6.5%; and expected life of 3 years.
On June 30, 2003, the Company issued 900,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share (estimated market price at date of grant), vest over a three-year period, beginning June 30, 2003 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, no options had yet been exercised.
In September 2004, the Company issued 200,000 options to a consultant. The options have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, vest over a one-year period, beginning in September 2004 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, no options had yet been exercised. As the consulting agreement provided for the options to be purchased at below the Company's market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded deferred compensation relating to these options of $39,300 during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as the Company believes the options will not be exercised.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the year ended April 30, 2005; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 250%; risk-free interest rate of 5.5%; and expected life of 1 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
On August 1, 2005, the consulting agreements for Mr. Carlos Rosette was renewed. The term of Mr. Rosettes agreement commenced on August 1, 2005 and ends on July 31, 2006, and provides for compensation of $3,000 per month for his services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. as of April 30, 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. as of April 30, 2004, and for the period September 15, 1995 (inception) to April 30, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 9, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Their report included an explanatory paragraph regarding going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WorldTradeShow.com, Inc., as of April 30, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Companys losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
Organization
WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. (the Company) was originally formed on September 15, 1995 as Interactive Processing, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to market high-tech consumer electronics through television home-shopping networks, retail stores, catalog companies and their website remotecontrols.com. In March 1999, the Company changed its name to WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. During the same month, the Company acquired intellectual property rights to a database and business plan and significantly changed its business plan to develop tradeshow software and market both physical and virtual tradeshow space through the Companys website.
The Company is an online e-commerce marketing company. WTS is currently marketing Hotels in Vietnam through a portal www.Hotels.com.vn The Company will be marketing a virtual trade show online, show casting companies from Vietnam and Mexico through its current alliance and affiliate agreements. WTS plans on marketing Mexican hotels through its portal www.mybajaguide.com in late summer 2005. The Company will promote tour packages, golf tours and resort packages on both web sites.
The Company has not yet commenced significant operations and therefore, is classified as a development stage enterprise.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company has experienced recurring losses, has an accumulated deficit of $5,092,973, has negative working capital and has not yet commenced significant operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain long-term debt or equity financing in order to have the necessary resources to further design, develop and launch the website and market the Companys new service and existing products. The Companys management believes that if the Company is not successful in obtaining equity financing, the business plan will be seriously inhibited. The Companys management believes it can attain the necessary funding because of its penetration in the online Hotel market in the Country of Vietnam. The Company also has a strong partner in Hi-Tek, Inc. which has been funding the operations of WTS.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classifications or liabilities or other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified several 2004 liability amounts of $1,692,201 to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Certain accounts in the financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB 101A and 101B and as revised by SAB 104, Revenue Recognition and Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, we recognize revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

Notes to Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition, continued
The Company generates revenues from commissions earned on net sales from its internet-based reservations. Internet revenues consist primarily of commissions, which are recorded at net in accordance with EITF 99-19. This revenue is recognized when customers present records of the room reservations made on the Companys internet based software. The Company also has to take into consideration EITF01-09 in which the companys revenues get reduced by the consideration it has paid to its vendor, as the consideration paid to the vendor exceeds the benefit received.
Sales Returns Allowances and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales returns and other allowances in any accounting period. Management must make estimates of potential future order disputes related to current period product revenue. Allowances for estimated product returns are provided at the time of sale. We evaluate the adequacy of allowances for returns primarily based upon our evaluation of historical and expected sales experience and by channel of distribution. The judgments and estimates of management may have a material effect on the amount and timing of our revenue for any given period.
Similarly, management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments as of April 30, 2005 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of related party payables is not determinable .
Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable property, which range from 3 to 5 years. Management evaluates useful lives regularly in order to determine recoverability taking into consideration current technological conditions. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; additions and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal of any item of equipment, the cost is and related accumulated depreciation of the disposed assets is removed, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
Long-lived Assets
The Company records impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the assets carrying value unlikely. In that case, if the sum of the expected future cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2005
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, Accounting for 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 tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts 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.
Issuance of Stock for Services
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123; accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. For stock options issued to non-employees, the issuance of stock options is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements for stock options granted to non-employees in the period in which the consideration is obtained from the non-employee.
Compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements for issuances of common shares to employees and non-employees that have rendered services to the Company. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the common stock, whichever is more readily determinable.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income , requires the Company to report and display certain information related to comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net income; unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities; minimum pension liability adjustments; change in market value of futures contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 87. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 130 and determined that the Companys foreign currency translation adjustment was the only comprehensive income adjustment as of April 30, 2005 and 2004.
Foreign Exchange Transaction and Translation
The assets and liabilities maintained in other than United States dollars are translated into United States dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of shareholders equity (deficit).
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other the functional currency, except those transactions which operate as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment or as a hedge of a foreign currency investment position, are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, Segment Information , amends the requirements for companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments, as defined in SFAS No. 131, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by a Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 131 and determined that the Company intends to operate two operating segments, trade show and entertainment.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilative convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby we used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The Company has potentially dilutive securities in the form of outstanding stock options issued to three members of the Board of Directors. There are no other potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and stock option valuation. Management reviews its estimates on a quarterly basis and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations , and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, it also requires that the Company reclassify, if necessary, the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill, based on the criteria in SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment, at least annually. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The effect of adoption of these statements is not expected to be material.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations . SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and will require companies to record a liability for asset

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of , in that it removes goodwill from its impairment scope and allows for different approaches in cash flow estimation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the business segment concept in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions , in that it permits presentation of a component of an entity, whether classified as held for sale or disposed of, as a discontinued operation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement of Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with earlier application encouraged. Implementation of SFAS No. 144 will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities . SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management is evaluating the effect of this statement on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , which amends SFAS No. 133 for certain decisions made by the FASB Derivatives Implementation Group. In particular, SFAS No. 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, (3) amends the definition of an underlying instrument to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others , and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, most provisions of SFAS No. 149 are to be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that under previous guidance issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. The guidance in SFAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective on July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have any material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations .
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Shared-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary transactions (SFAS 153). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception of exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

At the time of the transaction the shares were valued at $0.01. The Company is utilizing the Hi-Tek internet reservations software.

Business.com.vn Marketing License Agreement
In February 2004, the Company entered into a marketing license agreement with Business.com.vn. Business.com.vn is the owner of a website (Hotels.com.vn) that promotes the online sale of hotel and tour packages on behalf of participating hotels and tour operators.
VNAT and VITA, Vietnam National Association of the Tourism and Vietnam Travel Association, recognize Hotels.com.vn as Vietnams official Hotel Website. In Vietnam, there are over 3,500 hotels and 400 tour companies to be promoted worldwide via the internet to generate online sales throughout the Country of Vietnam.
The term of the marketing license agreement is for two years and requires the Company to pay a licensing fee of $150,000 and $300,000 for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The license fees for 2004 and 2005 are payable by August 10, 2004 and February 10, 2005, respectively. The Company has negotiated to defer the license fee payment until February 10, 2007.

The Company has impaired $274,315 to bring the asset to its estimated recoverable value, leaving a net balance of $175,685. Company management continually reviews its intangible assets for impairment and believes that carrying value of the assets is recoverable .
Currently, Hotels.com.vn has contracts with approximately 88 percent of all three to five star hotels in Vietnam. Company management believes this is significant because no other company has penetrated the Vietnamese online hotel market in depth. WTS and Hotels.com.vn are signing up hotels that have never done any marketing online, as a matter of fact most of the 1-2 star hotels do not even have websites. We supply website templates for any hotels that need this technology. All contracts with hotels are for a three-year term. During the second quarter of 2005, Hotels.com.vn will be working on contracting with 1-2 star hotels, of which there are approximately 3,500 throughout Vietnam.

Major Customer And Segment Information
The Company currently operates solely in one industry segment: the marketing and support of its hotel reservations system in Vietnam. No one customer accounted for approximately 5% of gross revenues for the year ending April 30, 2005. The Company has no operations or assets located outside of the United States. The Companys commissions revenue is concentrated in the Vietnam Hotel reservations system, creating a risk of concentration associated with the sale of a single product and limited customer base. The loss of this single market could cause severe damage to the Companys financial future.

Basic And Fully Diluted Loss Per Common Share:
Effective November 30, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) which replaced the presentation of primary and fully-diluted earnings (loss) per common share required under previously promulgated accounting standards with the presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share is similar to that of basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the numerator and denominator are adjusted to reflect the decrease in earnings per share or the increase in loss per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options and convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock.
5.
Stock Options
On June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,350,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 per share, vest over a three-year period, beginning July 1, 2000 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of April 30, 2005, no options had yet been exercised. As the consulting agreements provided for the options to be exercised at below the Companys market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded additional consulting fees relating to estimated value of these options of $140,630. These options were subsequently cancelled and new options issued.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 250%; risk-free interest rate of 6.5%; and expected life of 3 years.
On June 30, 2003, the Company issued 900,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share (estimated market price at date of grant), vest over a three-year period, beginning June 30, 2003 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, 750,000 options have expired or were forfeited and no options had yet been exercised.

In September 2004, the Company issued 200,000 options to a consultant. The options have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, vest over a one-year period, beginning in September 2004 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, no options had yet been exercised. As the consulting agreement provided for the options to be purchased at below the Companys market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded deferred compensation relating to these options of $39,300 during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as the company believes the options will not be exercised.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

Foreign Currency Exchange and Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company, prior to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, also had a Canadian dollar bank account it used for some operations. For reporting purposes, the financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation . The balance sheet is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statement of operations and cash flows at the average rates for the relevant periods.
9.
Going Concern
To date the Company has had limited sales due to the early stage of its efforts to transition into the marketing of its internet resources. Consequently, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys plans to address its going concern issues include:
* |
Increasing sales of its products through national distribution channels and through direct marketing to consumers; |
* |
Raising capital through the sale of debt and/or equity securities; and, |
* |
Settling outstanding debts and accounts payable, when available, through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. |
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to increase sales, issue debt and/or equity securities for cash or as payment for outstanding obligations.
Capital raising efforts may be influenced by factors outside of the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, capital market conditions. During the year ended April 30, 2005 the Company borrowed cash and retired outstanding obligations through the issuance of equity and debt/equity securities totaling $ 169,111 in the aggregate. Of this amount, $78,759 of equity and were issued to pay past due creditors.
The Company is in various stages of finalizing implementation strategies on a number of products and is actively attempting to market its products nationally in Vietnam. As a result of capital constraints it is uncertain when it will be able to start its websites to utilize the available licenses.
16. Stock Issuances
In February 2003, the Company issued 27,500,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock to enter into an Internet Reservations Software License Agreement with Hi-Tek Multimedia, Inc., a related party.
In September 2004, the Company issued approximately 173,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock for repayment of approximately $79,000 in outstanding debt, which includes $3,450 of accrued interest.
17. Subsequent Events
On July 21, 2005 Mr. John Spinelli resigned due to personal reasons forfeiting his rights to execute the 200,000 options granted to him in the year ended April 30, 2005.

1.
Organization
WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. (the Company) was originally formed on September 15, 1995 as Interactive Processing, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to market high-tech consumer electronics through television home-shopping networks, retail stores, catalog companies and their website remotecontrols.com. In March 1999, the Company changed its name to WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. During the same month, the Company acquired intellectual property rights to a database and business plan and significantly changed its business plan to develop tradeshow software and market both physical and virtual tradeshow space through the Companys website.
The Company is an online e-commerce marketing company. WTS is currently marketing Hotels in Vietnam through a portal www.Hotels.com.vn The Company will be marketing a virtual trade show online, show casting companies from Vietnam and Mexico through its current alliance and affiliate agreements. WTS plans on marketing Mexican hotels through its portal www.mybajaguide.com in early spring 2006. The Company will promote tour packages, golf tours and resort packages on both web sites.
The Company has not yet commenced significant operations and therefore, is classified as a development stage enterprise.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company has experienced recurring losses, has an accumulated deficit of $5,868,978, has negative working capital and has not yet commenced significant operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain long-term debt or equity financing in order to have the necessary resources to further design, develop and launch the website and market the Companys new service and existing products. The Companys management believes that if the Company is not successful in obtaining equity financing, the business plan will be seriously inhibited. The Companys management believes it can attain the necessary funding because of its penetration in the online Hotel market in the Country of Vietnam. The Company also has a strong partner in Hi-Tek, Inc. which has been funding the operations of WTS.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classifications or liabilities or other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior -year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB 101A and 101B and as revised by SAB 104, Revenue Recognition and Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, we recognize revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
The Company generates revenues from internet-based reservations and product sales. Internet revenues consist primarily of commissions. This revenue is recognized when its trade partners present records of the transactions on a monthly basis. The Company also has to take into consideration EITF01-09 in which the companys revenues get reduced by the consideration it has paid to its vendor, as the consideration paid to the vendor exceeds the benefit received.

Sales Returns Allowances and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales returns and other allowances in any accounting period. Management must make estimates of potential future order disputes related to current period product revenue. Allowances for estimated product returns are provided at the time of sale. We evaluate the adequacy of allowances for returns primarily based upon our evaluation of historical and expected sales experience and by channel of distribution. The judgments and estimates of management may have a material effect on the amount and timing of our revenue for any given period.
Similarly, management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments as of April 30, 2005 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of related party payables is not determinable.
Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable property, which range from 3 to 5 years. Management evaluates useful lives regularly in order to determine recoverability taking into consideration current technological conditions. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; additions and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal of any item of equipment, the cost is and related accumulated depreciation of the disposed assets is removed, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations .
Long-lived Assets
The Company records impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the assets carrying value unlikely. In that case, if the sum of the expected future cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, Accounting for 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 tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts 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.

Issuance of Stock for Services
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123; accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. For stock options issued to non-employees, the issuance of stock options is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements for stock options granted to non-employees in the period in which the consideration is obtained from the non-employee.
Compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements for issuances of common shares to employees and non-employees that have rendered services to the Company. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the common stock, whichever is more readily determinable.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income , requires the Company to report and display certain information related to comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net income; unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities; minimum pension liability adjustments; change in market value of futures contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 87. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 130 and determined that the Companys foreign currency translation adjustment was the only comprehensive income adjustment as of January 31, 2006 and 2005.
Foreign Exchange Transaction and Translation
The assets and liabilities maintained in other than United States dollars are translated into United States dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of shareholders equity (deficit).
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other the functional currency, except those transactions which operate as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment or as a hedge of a foreign currency investment position, are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, Segment Information , amends the requirements for companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments, as defined in SFAS No. 131, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by a Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 131 and determined that the Company intends to operate two operating segments, trade show and entertainment.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilative convertible shares and stock options were converted or

(A Developmental Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements

exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby we used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The Company has potentially dilutive securities in the form of outstanding stock options issued to three members of the Board of Directors. There are no other potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and stock option valuation. Management reviews its estimates on a quarterly basis and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations , and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, it also requires that the Company reclassify, if necessary, the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill, based on the criteria in SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment, at least annually. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The effect of adoption of these statements is not expected to be material.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations . SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and will require companies to record a liability for asset retirement obligation in the period in which they are incurred. Adoption of this statement is not expected to be material.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of , in that it removes goodwill from its impairment scope and allows for different approaches in cash flow estimation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the business segment concept in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions , in that it permits presentation of a component of an entity, whether classified as held for sale or disposed of, as a discontinued operation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement of Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with earlier application encouraged. Implementation of SFAS No. 144 will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities . SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured
initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management is evaluating the effect of this statement on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , which amends SFAS No. 133 for certain decisions made by the FASB Derivatives Implementation Group. In particular, SFAS No. 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, (3) amends the definition of an underlying instrument to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others , and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, most provisions of SFAS No. 149 are to be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that under previous guidance issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. The guidance in SFAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective on July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have any material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations .
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Shared-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary transactions (SFAS 153). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception of exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods
that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Intangibles, long-lived assets and Goodwill
Chaiisai Tora, Inc.
In March 1999, the Company acquired the business plan, customer database, and software related to the trade show business from Chaiisai Tora, Inc. In consideration given for these intangibles, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock valued at $2.00 per share, or $50,000. The asset has been fully amortized in prior years.
Dudesmart.com
On June 23, 2000, the Company accepted a proposal to exchanged 1,200,000 shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dudesmart.com, Inc., from a related entity (Note 8). At the time of the transaction, the shares were valued at $.22 per share (estimated value $264,000). Dudesmart.com will be the entertainment division for the Company specializing in the entertainment and gaming industry. At the date of accusation Dudesmart.com had no fixed assets and all development fees were expensed as occurred. Therefore the Company recognized this transaction as Goodwill. The Company anticipates that the Dudesmart.com will be fully operational in the fall of 2005. Once fully operational the Company anticipates amortizing this asset in accordance with SOP 96.
Hi-Tek Multimedia License Agreement
On April 24, 2003, the Company announced acquiring an Internet Reservations Software License Agreement from Hi Tek Multimedia (Hi Tek), in exchange for 27,500,000 common shares. At the time of the transaction the shares were valued at $0.01. The Company is utilizing the Hi-Tek internet reservations software. The license agreement was accounted for as an intangible asset on the balance sheet. The Company has impaired $232,872 to bring the asset to its estimated recoverable value, leaving a net balance of $42,128, which the Company believes it will be able to recover before the license agreement expires.
Business.com.vn Marketing License Agreement
In February 2004, the Company entered into a marketing license agreement with Business.com.vn. Business.com.vn is the owner of a website (Hotels.com.vn) that promotes the online sale of hotel and tour packages on behalf of participating hotels and tour operators.
VNAT and VITA, Vietnam National Association of the Tourism and Vietnam Travel Association, recognize Hotels.com.vn as Vietnams official Hotel Website. In Vietnam, there are over 3,500 hotels and 400 tour companies to be promoted worldwide via the internet to generate online sales throughout the Country of Vietnam.
The term of the marketing license agreement is for two years and requires the Company to pay a licensing fee of $150,000 and $300,000 for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The license fees for 2004 and 2005 are payable by August 10, 2004 and February 10, 2005, respectively. The Company has negotiated to defer the license fee payment until February 10, 2007.

royalty equal to fifty (50%) percent of gross sales, from reservations made on the Hotels.com.vn website, as defined in the agreement. As of October 31, 2005, $496,127 in unpaid license and royalty fees, including interest of $50,079.01 accumulated at 18%. The amount is included in long-term liabilities in the balance sheet. The Company has recognized revenues from this project prior the end of the year ended. The Company has impaired $330,565 to bring the asset to its estimated recoverable value, leaving a net balance of $119,435. Company management continually reviews its intangible assets for impairment and believes that carrying value of the assets is recoverable.
Currently, Hotels.com.vn has contracts with approximately 88 percent of all three to five star hotels in Vietnam. Company management believes this is significant because no other company has penetrated the Vietnamese online hotel market in depth. WTS and Hotels.com.vn are signing up hotels that have never done any marketing online, as a matter of fact most of the 1-2 star hotels do not even have websites. We supply website templates for any hotels that need this technology. All contracts with hotels are for a three-year term. Through the third quarter of 2005, Hotels.com.vn will be working on contracting with 1-2 star hotels, of which there are approximately 3,500 throughout Vietnam.

The net operating loss carry forward will expire at various dates beginning 2011 through 2017 if not utilized. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forward may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards before utilization. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset because of uncertainty regarding reliability.

Major Customer And Segment Information
The Company currently operates solely in one industry segment: the marketing and support of its hotel reservations system in Vietnam. No one customer accounted for approximately 5% of gross revenues for the period ending October 31, 2005. The Company has no operations or assets located outside of the United States. The Companys commission revenue is concentrated in the Vietnam Hotel reservations system, creating a risk of concentration associated with the sale of a single product and limited customer base. The loss of this single market could cause severe damage to the Companys financial future.

Basic And Fully Diluted Loss Per Common Share:
Effective November 30, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") which replaced the presentation of "primary" and "fully-diluted" earnings (loss) per common share required under previously promulgated accounting standards with the presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per common share.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share is similar to that of basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the numerator and denominator are adjusted to reflect the decrease in earnings per share or the increase in loss per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options and convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock.

Stock Options
On June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,350,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 per share, vest over a three-year period, beginning July 1, 2000 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of April 30, 2005, no options had yet been exercised. As the consulting agreements provided for the options to be exercised at below the Companys market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded additional consulting fees relating to estimated value of these options of $140,630. These options were subsequently cancelled and new options issued.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 250%; risk-free interest rate of 6.5%; and expected life of 3 years.
On June 30, 2003, the Company issued 900,000 options to certain officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share (estimated market price at date of grant), vest over a three-year period, beginning June 30, 2003 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, 750,000 options have expired or were forfeited and no options had yet been exercised.

In September 2004, the Company issued 200,000 options to a consultant. The options have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, vest over a one-year period, beginning in September 2004 and expire one year after becoming exercisable. As of the date of this report, no options had yet been exercised. As the consulting agreement provided
for the options to be purchased at below the Companys market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded deferred compensation relating to these options of $39,300 during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as the company believes the options will not be exercised.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

Comprehensive Loss
The single component of other comprehensive loss is foreign exchange translation gains. Due to the availability of net operating losses, there is no tax effect associated with the component of other comprehensive loss.

Contingencies
In the opinion of management, there are no matters requiring recognition or disclosure as a loss contingency in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies .

Foreign Currency Exchange and Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company, prior to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001, also had a Canadian dollar bank account it used for some operations. For reporting purposes, the financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation . The balance sheet is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statement of operations and cash flows at the average rates for the relevant periods.
9.
Going Concern
To date the Company has had limited sales due to the early stage of its efforts to transition into the marketing of its internet resources. Consequently, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys plans to address its going concern issues include:
* |
Increasing sales of its products through national distribution channels and through direct marketing to consumers; |
* |
Raising capital through the sale of debt and/or equity securities; and, |
* |
Settling outstanding debts and accounts payable, when available, through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. |
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to increase sales, issue debt and/or equity securities for cash or as payment for outstanding obligations.
Capital raising efforts may be influenced by factors outside of the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, capital market conditions. During the year ended April 30, 2005 the Company borrowed cash and retired outstanding obligations through the issuance of equity and debt/equity securities totaling $ 190,961 in the aggregate. Of this amount, $98,759 of equity and were issued to pay past due creditors.
The Company is in various stages of finalizing implementation strategies on a number of products and is actively attempting to market its products nationally in Vietnam. As a result of capital constraints it is uncertain when it will be able to start its websites to utilize the available licenses.

We consent to the inclusion on Form 10-SB the use of our report dated December 9, 2004 with respect to the April 30, 2004 audited financial statements. Our report dated December 9, 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph that states the Company has not yet commenced operations, has negative working capital and shareholders deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To the Board of Directors
WorldTradeShow.com, Inc.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. as of April 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, of shareholders equity (deficit) and of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2004, and for the period from September 15, 1995 (date of inception) to April 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 WorldTradeShow.com, Inc. as of April 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2004, and the period from September 15, 1995 (date of inception) to April 30, 2004, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet commenced operations. This factor raises substantive doubt as to the Companys ability to obtain long-term debt or equity financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
