Prelude
On
May
30, 2006, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New
York, Central Islip (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the
plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) of Boundless and three of its subsidiaries,
Boundless Technologies, Inc., ("Technologies"), Boundless Manufacturing
Services, Inc. (“Manufacturing”) and Boundless Acquisition Corp. (a
non-operating subsidiary) (collectively, the "Debtors"). On June 9, 2006 the
order confirming the plan of reorganization became effective.
Pursuant
to the Plan, all assets of the Debtors, if any, not owned by Technologies were
transferred to Technologies and any and all liabilities of the Debtors,
including guarantees, were assumed by Technologies or canceled. On the Effective
Date, the Company transferred all of the capital stock of Technologies to Vision
Technologies, Inc. and Boundless Manufacturing Services, Inc. and Boundless
Acquisition Corp. were dissolved.
On
the
Effective Date, Boundless was authorized to issue one hundred million
(100,000,000) shares of common stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock") of
which 4,000,000 shares were issued under the Plan. Under the Plan, each holder
of allowed unsecured claims against Boundless received his pro rata share of
one
million nine hundred sixty thousand shares of Boundless’ Common Stock, which
shares were issued under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. Vision
Technologies, Inc. received 2,040,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common
Stock, which shares were also issued under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
Since
the
Effective Date, Boundless has been seeking to acquire an interest in an
operating company which desires to become a public company. Boundless has made
such an acquisition which is the primary subject discussed in this Form 8-K
filing.
Section
1 - Registrants’ Business and Operations
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Items 2.01 and 8.01 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by
reference.
As
more
fully described in Item 2.01 below, effective December 15, 2006, Boundless
Corporation a Delaware corporation (“Boundless”), entered into an Exchange
Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Jilin City Haitian Business Consulting
Co., Ltd. (“Haitian Consulting”), a limited liability company under the laws of
the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Jilin Haitian Industrial Company
Limited (“Haitian”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the
PRC, Advancetech Global Limited (“Advancetech BVI”), an International Business
Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and each of the members
of
Advancetech BVI (the “Advancetech BVI Members”). Under the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, Boundless will, at closing, acquire all of the outstanding capital
stock and ownership interests of Advancetech BVI (the “Interests”) from the
Advancetech BVI Members, and the Advancetech BVI Members will contribute all
of
their Interests in Advancetech BVI to Boundless. In exchange, Boundless will
issue to the Advancetech BVI Members 30, 600,000 shares of Boundless Common
Stock and to Global Access Ventures, LLC (“Global”), 5,400,000 shares of
Boundless Common Stock in connection with services rendered to Advancetech
BVI,
Haitian Consulting and Haitian, in connection with the exchange of shares
effected under the Exchange Agreement (hereinafter, the “Exchange Transaction”)
and other related matters.
Advancetech
BVI currently owns all of the registered capital of Haitian Consulting, a wholly
foreign owned enterprise ("WFOE") registered under the wholly foreign-owned
enterprises laws of the PRC. Prior to the closing of the Exchange Transaction,
Haitian Consulting and Haitian entered into an Exclusive Business Consulting
Agreement ("Consulting Agreement"), an Operating Agreement ("Operating
Agreement") and an Technology Consulting Services Agreement ("Technology
Agreement") (collectively, theses agreements are referred to herein as the
"Restructuring Agreements"). Under the Restructuring Agreements, Haitian
Consulting has agreed to advise, consult, manage and operate Haitian’s business,
to provide certain financial accommodations to Haitian, and to provide certain
technology consulting services to Haitian for use in its business, in exchange
for Haitian's payment of all of its Operating Cash Flow (as defined in the
Restructuring Agreements) to Haitian Consulting.
Prior
to
closing of the exchange transaction, each of the holders of all of the
registered capital of Haitian granted Haitian Consulting the exclusive right
and
option to acquire all of their registered capital of Haitian ("Option
Agreement") and will further authorize Haitian Consulting to vote the registered
capital of Haitian and to act as the representative for such holders in all
matters respecting Haitian's registered capital ("Authorizations").
On
consummation of the Exchange Transaction, Advancetech BVI became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Boundless.
The
Restructuring Agreements, Option Agreement and Authorizations are included
as
Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 to this Report, and are hereby incorporated by this
reference.
As
a
result of the closing of the exchange transaction described below, Advancetech
Global Limited (“Advancetech BVI”), an International Business Company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of
Boundless. Advancetech BVI, in turn, owns all of the registered capital of
Jilin
City Haitian Business Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned enterprise
(“WFOE”), registered under the wholly foreign-owned enterprises laws of the PRC.
Section
2 - Financial Information
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As
described in Item 1.01 above on December 15, 2006, Boundless entered into an
Exchange Agreement with Haitian Consulting, Haitian, Advancetech BVI and each
of
the Advancetech BVI Members. The closing of the transactions contemplated by
the
Exchange Agreement (the “Closing”) occurred on December 15, 2006, simultaneous
with the signing of the Exchange Agreement. At the Closing, pursuant to the
terms of the Exchange Agreement, Boundless acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock and ownership interests of Advancetech BVI (the “Interests”) from
the Advancetech BVI Members, and the Advancetech BVI Members contributed all
of
their Interests in Advancetech BVI to Boundless. In exchange, Boundless issued
to the Advancetech BVI Members 30,600,000 shares of Boundless Common Stock
issued under the Exchange Agreement, par value $0.01 per share, which represents
76.5 of the issued and outstanding shares of Boundless on the Closing. Boundless
also issued 5,400,000 shares of Boundless Common Stock to Global in connection
with services rendered to Haitian, Haitian Consulting and Advancetech BVI in
connection with the Exchange Transaction and certain related matters. The
issuance of the Boundless Common Stock to the Advancetech BVI Members and to
Global is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
At
the
Closing, Advancetech BVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boundless.
Advancetech BVI, in turn, owns all of the registered capital of Haitian
Consulting, a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) registered under the
wholly foreign-owned enterprises laws of the PRC.
Except
for the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement,
neither Boundless, nor its director and officer, had any material relationship
with Advancetech BVI, any of the Members of Advancetech BVI, Haitian or Haitian
Consulting.
Boundless
is presently authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to issue 100,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the Closing of the
Exchange Transaction, Boundless had 40, 000,000 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding.
Effective
as of the Closing, Joseph Gardner, the existing director of Boundless adopted
resolutions increasing the size of the Board of Directors to five, and the
following directors of Boundless were appointed: Wang Xijun, Jin Yuanjie, Xie
Jianhua, and Steven Weissman. Mr. Gardner will continue to serve as a director
of the Company. Mr. Wang Xijun serves as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of
Directors.
Also
effective as of the Closing of the Exchange Transaction, the existing officer
of
Boundless resigned, and the following officers were appointed by the newly
constituted Board of Directors: Wang Xitian, Jin Yuanjie, Cheng Xianqi, Song
Delong and Xie Jianhua.
The
resumes of Boundless’ Directors and Officers are included later in this Item
2.01 under the caption “Directors and Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons”.
In
May
2005, Haitian entered into an agreement with Global, pursuant to which Global
was compensated by Haitian for its advisory services rendered to Haitian, and
its affiliates, in connection with the Exchange Transaction and other related
matters. The fees payable to Global under that agreement is $300,000. Global
has
also received 5,400,000 shares of Boundless’ Common Stock in consideration for
these services. A copy of the Haitian Global Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.7.
As
used in the remainder of this report, unless the context otherwise requires,
the
words “we”, “our” and “us” and words of similar import refers to Boundless and
each company affiliated with it after the closing of the Exchange Transaction.
Since virtually all of our assets and operations are located in the PRC and
are
conducted through Haitian, the discussions of our business and the risks we
face
and our historic economic performance, which are subsequently presented in
this
Form 8-K, relate primarily to Haitian.
BUSINESS
Haitian
was organized as a limited liability company in China on March 4, 1999. From
1999 until 2002, there were no business activities. By September of 2003,
Haitian’s management decided to construct a new facility to manufacture
Tert-Dodecyl Mercaptans (“TDDM”), a
fine chemical product mainly used as molecular weight regulator during the
polymerization process of synthetic rubber, resins and high impact polystyrene.
On
December 3, 2004, Haitian, jointly with certain minority investors, organized
Jilin Xinlong Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Xinlong”) as a limited liability company in
China. Haitian owned 73.45% of the outstanding shares of Xinlong on its
formation. Haitian now owns 94.62% of the outstanding shares of Xinlong as
a
result of increased capital contributions
made during 2005.
Xinlong’s minority shareholders include Wang Xijun, the brother of Wang Xitian,
the largest beneficial shareholder of Haitian, their father, Wang Decai, Song
Delong, an executive officer and director of Haitian and one other individual.
Each of the individuals who own shares in Xinlong also are shareholders in
Haitian. Xinlong was organized to construct Haitian’s new manufacturing facility
(the “Xinlong Facility”) and to acquire the equipment to be used in the
production of TDDM.
TDDM
is a fine chemical product that is mainly used as a regulator of molecular
weight during the manufacture of ABS resin, PVC (Vinylite, a synthetic resin
used in many products), SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber, a synthetic rubber),
NBR
(nitrile-butadiene rubber, a synthetic rubber), and M-HIPS (high impact poly
styrene, a resin often used in household electrical appliances), and as raw
materials for certain pesticides, germicides and perfumes. While TDDM is also
used as a stabilizer and antioxidant in the manufacture of polyolefin products
such as polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, in China it is most often used
as a
polymerization regulator of molecular weight in the manufacture of ABS resin.
ABS
resin (Acrylonitrile
Butadiene Styrene)
is a common engineering thermoplastic
used to
make light, rigid, molded products such as pipes, golf club heads (used due
to
its shock
absorbance
properties), automotive body parts, protective head gear, and toys including
Lego bricks.
Generally, automotive parts, tools and electronics appliances are the main
product applications for ABS resin in China.
In
the past few years, domestic consumption of ABS resin in China has grown from
approximately 1.43 million tons in 2000, to approximately 1.5 million tons
in
2001, to an estimated 1.6 million tons in 2005. In contrast, Chinese domestic
production of ABS resin has satisfied only a small portion of the demand. Since
1997, China has been importing more than 1 million tons of ABS resin every
year.
Due to these market demands, Chinese domestic manufacturers are working on
expanding the production capacity of their ABS production
facilities.
Due
in
part to increasing demand for ABS resin in China, the demand for TDDM, one
of
the key raw materials needed to manufacture ABS resin, has also been increasing
during the last ten years. Demand for TDDM in China is estimated to have been
1,700 tons in 1995, 3,000 tons in 1999, 5,000 tons in 2003 and 6,500 tons in
2005. Approximately 80% of China’s TDDM requirements have historically been
satisfied by imports due to inadequate domestic supply.
In
September, 2001, Jilin Jihua Jiangnan Engineering Design Co., Ltd. (“JEDC”), an
indirect subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (“CNPC”), which is
owned by the People’s Republic of China, completed a Feasibility Study and
Report for Haitian’s TDDM project which provided a comprehensive analysis of the
potential of the project, including the size of the market for TDDM in China,
plant location, production scales, technology studies, raw materials supplies,
construction and equipment installation plans, plant operation analysis, energy
saving alternatives, environmental protection issues, labor availability,
insurance needs, safety and sanitation issues, plant organization, capital
needs
and financial analysis and other relevant subjects.
Based
on
their analysis of available information, including the report issued by JEDC
,
the management of Haitian decided that the growing market for TDDM in China
presented a significant opportunity for Haitian. Based on that analysis, Haitian
began planning to construct the Xinlong Facility to produce TDDM.
Due
to
increased domestic demand for ABS resin in China, Jilin Petrochemical Company,
PetroChina Company Limited (“JPC”), the largest ABS resin manufacturer in China
has begun construction of a new ABS resin plant. JPC is an indirect subsidiary
of CNPC . JPC has produced 460,000 tons of ABS resin annually from 2002 through
2005. JPC’s new ABS resin production facilities are being constructed in the
Longtan Development District Area, Jilin City, China where its existing plant
is
located. This plant will be located on property adjacent to the Xinlong
Facility. Construction began in 2004 and is expected to be completed by 2008.
Haitian’s
management believes that on completion of JPC’s new plant, it will require 5,000
tons of TDDM annually to support its production of ABS resin. JPC’s requirements
for TDDM prior to completion of its new facility will be somewhat less than
that
amount. Haitian’s management also believes that due to its proximate location,
Xinlong will be JPC’s supplier of choice for TDDM. Given JPC’s estimated
requirements for TDDM and the estimated requirements from other domestic ABS
producers, Haitian believes the total Chinese domestic demand for TDDM will
approximate 15,000 tons within several years. The annual production capacity
of
the Xinlong Facility is expected to initially approximate between 2,900 and
3,000 tons when the plant becomes fully operational. The designed production
capacity for the Xinlong Facility is approximately 6,000 tons; and expansion
could increase the capacity to approximately 10,000 tons.
Haitian
decided to construct the Xinlong Facility in September 2003 and Xinlong, was
incorporated on December 3, 2004 to construct the plant, acquire the necessary
equipment and ultimately to operate the facility. The Xinlong Facility’s
construction was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2005. Trail
production tests began in December 2005. Haitian’s management expects the
Xinlong Facility to realize its full operation in the fourth quarter of 2006.
TECHNOLOGY
The
production technology used by Xinlong in the production of TDDM (the “JICT
Technology”), was developed and patented by the Jilin Institute of Chemical
Technology(“JICT”), which has been engaged in synthesized TDDM research since
1996. This organization is one of the most renowned chemical research academic
organizations in China. This technology uses solid acid as catalyst, fixed
bed
catalystic reactors and continuous synthesis technology. Compared with
production methods used by other manufacturers in China, Haitian’s management
believes this new technology generates less pollution (meeting PRC environment
protection requirements), at lower cost with less interruption in the
manufacturing process. Haitian’s management also believes, that the quality of
TDDM products produced using this process will compare with that of imported
TDDM products from international manufacturers and be of much higher quality
than TDDM produced in China. The JICT Technology was satisfactorily tested
by
CNPC Jilin Chemical Corporation , a direct subsidiary of CNPC and was
subsequently issued a technology achievement certificate by CNPC.
JICT
signed an agreement to transfer the exclusive right to use the technology for
a
ten year period to Haitian for a consideration of approximately US$109,000.
After the initial ten year period, Haitian’s rights will no longer be exclusive.
The technology was subsequently transferred to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Haitian, Xitian Wang, who was then its sole proprietor. In April
2004, the technology, valued at that time at approximately US$725,000, was
transferred by Mr. Wang to Haitian in consideration for additional capital
stock
in Haitian. Haitian’s engineers have been investigating ways to enhance this
technology and Haitian believes that have improved the technology developed
by
JICT. Haitian intends to continue its research and development efforts and
to
continue to incorporate technology enhancements into its manufacturing
process.
QUALITY
ADVANTAGES
Due
to
the use of the JICT Technology, improved production methods, advanced production
control systems and professional production management and operations teams,
Haitian’s management believes the quality of Haitian TDDM products will reach
international standards and be vastly superior to TDDM previously produced
by
Chinese companies. Haitian has installed quality control systems at the plant,
which monitor the performance of the equipment, the production process and
the
software utilized during the production process. Haitian’s automatic control
equipment has been designed by Zhejiang Province University in China. The
appropriate staff at the plant has been trained to utilize the quality control
systems and Haitian’s employees receive periodic training. Because the plant is
newly constructed and uses advanced technology as compared to that currently
existing in China, Haitian believes that it has substantial competitive quality
advantages over its Chinese competitors.
RAW
MATERIALS
The
primary raw materials used for TDDM production include dodecylene (coarse),
dodecylene (fine), sulphur, hydrogen, liquid alkali and chemical catalysts.
Dodocylene has been in short supply from time to time and its price has
increased due to market demand. We
expect
the main suppliers of dodecylene (coarse) and dodecylene (fine) will be Beckmann
Chemical Company of Germany, FRP Service & Company of Japan and Chevron
Oronite Company, LLC. Haitian expects to purchase the necessary chemical
catalysts, which have been in short supply from time to time with significant
price fluctuations, from JICT and has entered into a contract with the institute
to that end. The contract provides fixed pricing so that Haitian does not expect
to be significantly impacted by market driven price fluctuations. Other raw
materials required to manufacture TDDM are available from chemical companies
within Jilin Province, located within several hours driving distance. Haitian
believes that generally there is ample supply of raw materials available in
reasonable proximity to the Xinlong Facility at competitive prices. However,
shortages may exist from time to time, and prices may fluctuate due to market
conditions. Haitian’s business could be negatively affected due to such
shortages or market driven price increases for raw materials.
PRICE
ADVANTAGES
A
substantial portion of the demand for TDDM in China has been satisfied by
imports from Japan, the United States, Germany, France and South Korea due
to
the inadequate domestic supply. The price of imported TDDM remains high because
of transportation costs, insurance and applicable tariffs. Imported TDDM is
currently priced at approximately $3,000 per ton. Haitian expects to establish
it’s pricing for TDDM below this market and once in full operation to operate
profitability at the prices it establishes. Given the advantages inherent in
the
JICT Technology, product quality, lower transportation costs, access to the
market and availability of raw materials, Haitian believes that the TDDM it
produces will have price advantages over imported TDDM and that competition
from
domestic sources is limited.
TAXES
Local
companies in China are generally subject to state enterprise income tax and
local income tax at the applicable tax rates of 30% and 3%, respectively, on
taxable income reported in the statutory financial statements that are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in PRC. As
a
foreign owned enterprise, Haitain Consulting may be able to apply for an
exemption from income tax for two years and a 50% income tax reduction for
the
succeeding three years, commencing with the first year which is
profitable.
There
are
many special economic and technological development zones where companies
operating there will be taxed at a lower rate. Provincial and local governments
may waive the local income taxes and even give other preferential treatment
or
rebates to encourage investments in their area. Since
it
is operating in the Jilin Longtan Development zone, which has been designated
as
a tax incentive geographical area, the Company is entitled to a complete
exemption from income taxes in China for a three-year period and a 50% exemption
for the fourth and fifth years. Haitian will also be subject to a value added
tax in China at the rate of 17%.
COMPETITION
Due
to
the problems with the technology historically used by manufacturers in China
to
manufacture TDDM, there are few Chinese chemical companies engaged in the
production of TDDM currently in China. The main international TDDM providers
are
based in Japan, South Korea, United States, Germany and France. There have
historically been three major TDDM manufacturers in China, i.e., Weishan County
Petrochemical Auxiliary Factory, Suiling Chemicals Co. Ltd. , and Shandong
Xingwu Group.
Other
than Shandong Xingwu Group, each of these companies has either stopped or
substantially curtailed production, either voluntarily or due to government
mandate, due to environmental problems. Shandong Xingwu Group produces
approximately 1,000 tons of TDDM annually, which Haitian believes is of lesser
quality than its TDDM and which is mostly sold to Chevron Phillips Chemical
Company, LLC (United States).
Haitian
expects its most significant international competitor to be from Union Carbon
Corporation (France), Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LLC (United States),
Bayer Group (Germany) and Daewoo International Corporation (South Korea).
Xinlong believes it has substantial advantages over international competition
in
the Chinese market place, due to among other advantages, lower transportation
costs, favorable pricing and faster delivery times.
ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES
Environment
protection issues in Jilin City is monitored and managed by the Jilin
Environmental Protection Bureau. It is a subsidiary department of the State
Environment Protection Administration, PRC, and it reports to national and
provincial offices. Haitian has been certified by the Jilin Environmental
Protection Bureau as satisfying national standards, and has secured all required
environmental approvals.
The
technology used at the plant allows for compliance with environmental standards
in China without significant expense. For example, there is no need for a
special water wash process to monitor water and its release. The main waste
water from operation of the plant results from washing and cleaning and can
be
released into the main water line. The only significant contaminants from the
production process results from waste activators which contaminants will be
delivered to JPC for disposition.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATION
All
significant government approvals relating to Haitian and its operations have
been secured, including the following: business license (from the Industry
and
Commerce Administrative Bureau of Jilin City); national organization code
certificate (the Technology Supervision Bureau of Jilin City); tax registration
certificate (Longtan Branch of Jilin City National Tax Bureau, Longtan Branch
of
Jilin City Local Tax Bureau); permit for opening a bank account (the People’s
Bank of China); state-owned land use certificate (the Land and Resources
Administrative Bureau of Jilin City); environmental protection assessment
approval (State Environment Protection Administration of China “SEPA”);
statement of opinions on location of the construction project (Jilin City
Construction Planning Bureau); permit for a planned construction; (Urban
Planning Bureau of Jilin City); permit for the planned use of land for
construction (Urban Planning Bureau of Jilin City); construction permit for
the
construction project (Construction Administration Bureau of Longtan Development
Area of Jilin City) and statement of opinions on fire prevention acceptance
check of the construction project (Jilin City Public Security Fire-Protection
Sub-Brigade). Several minor approvals are pending, which will not affect the
operations of the Xinlong Facility.
PLANT
AND EQUIPMENT
Haitian’s
facilities are located in Bajiazi County, Longtan Development Area, Jilin City,
Jilin Province, in China. Construction of the plant which began in 2003 was
substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2005. Trail production
tests commenced in December 2005. Haitian’s management expects the Xinlong
Facility to be in full operation in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The
land
on which the real estate projects are set up cannot be owned by companies or
individuals in the PRC. However, the Land and Resources Administration Bureau
in
Longtan Development Area, Jilin City, Jilin Province, granted Haitian the right
to use the land on which the Plant is located, for a fifty (50) year period.
This period commenced on March 12, 2003, when construction began. Haitian’s
management believes that according to the provisions of the Interim Regulation
of the PRC Concerning the Assignment and Transfer of the Right to the Use of
State Owned Land in the Urban Areas, new using rights of the land will be
granted by the Land and Resources Administration Bureau of Jilin City upon
the
expiration of current land use certificate, although the conditions for the
extended right of use are not certain now; and certain fees or other conditions
may apply in consideration for extending these agreements.
The
buildings and equipment to be used by Haitian in manufacturing chemicals and
related operational activities are owned by Haitian. Haitian’s plant and related
facilities includes eight buildings. The total real estate occupied by Haitian
is approximately 31,200 square meters and the aggregate gross floor area of
the
buildings is approximately 10, 368 square meters. The main production plant
is
contained in a building with a gross floor area of 3,720 meters. Substantially,
all the manufacturing processes for the production of TDDM are contained in
this
building. The facilities also include an office building of 2,632 square meters
gross floor area which houses the production and sales management offices,
as
well as conference rooms, research and development functions and an employee
cafeteria. Other buildings are used for package and storage of finished
products, storage of raw material, garage and transportation, and technical
support in the manufacturing process.
During
the period from 2003 through December 31, 2005, Haitian has been acquiring
the
production and office equipment necessary for it to operate the business to
support administrative services. Haitian’s production equipment includes five
reactors used for the production of TDDM, eighty-nine sets of containing jars
used for the storage of raw materials and finished products, twenty-eight heat
exchangers, ten separation towers used for distilling, separating and
purification of raw materials, nine sets of air compressors, sixty-nine sets
of
pumps, used for transportation of air and liquid as well as an hydrogen
generator, a nitrogen generator, a catalyst generator and an automatic
production system used for the automatic monitoring and controlling of the
production process. Haitian also has acquired computers and equipment necessary
to support sales and administrative tasks.
EMPLOYEES
The
Company currently has 201 full-time employees. Included in this total are 5
individuals involved in sales and marketing, 103 individuals not including
supervisors, involved in production, 64 individuals involved in administrative
services and 29 key supervisors and executive officers. The Company believes
they have the continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified
scientific and management personnel. However, competition for such personnel
is
intense and will likely increase as China’s economy grows. There is no assurance
that key employees can be retained or that other highly qualified technical
and
managerial personnel can be retained.
The
Company’s employees are represented by a labor union. The Company has not
experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations with its employees
to
be good.
FACILITIES
Haitian
occupies approximately 31,200 square meters of real property located in Longtan
Development Area, Jilin City PRC. The facilities provide 10, 368 square meters
of gross floor area and is composed of eight buildings used for the production
of TDDM and related operational activities. The Company also occupies an office
building, also located in the Longtan Development Area, which provides
approximately 3,375 square meters of office space. This office facility is
owned
by Mr. Wang Xitian, the largest beneficial owner of the Company’s Shares and the
Chairman of its Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, who allows
the
Company to use the facility without charge. The Company pays utilities and
other
expenses with respect to this facility. The Company believes that it has
sufficient facilities available to conduct this business for the foreseeable
future.
STRATEGY
The
Company expects the plant to be fully operational commencing in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Its initial capacity will approximate 2,900 to 3,000 tons
of
TDDM per annum. As sales increase, the Company plans, depending on available
resources, to extend its annual capacity to 6,000 tons of TDDM, which increase
in capacity is estimated to cost between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000 in additional
financing. In addition, the Company expects to sell a substantial portion of
the
TDDM produced at the Xinlong Facility initially to JPC. However the Company
has
initiated sales efforts to secure sales from other Chinese concerns as well
and
the Company has received favorable responses from over 30 potential customers.
In the long term, the Company would like to add production lines for additional
products. Doing so will require substantial additional cash investments which
there can be no assurance will be available to the Company. Investigation of
potential additional products has already commenced.
SALES
AND MARKETING
Haitian
expects that its initial sales will be to concerns in China, which acquire
TDDM
for use in the production process for ABS resin. Initially, the Company expects
most sales will be to JPC, located adjacent to its plant. Haitian intends to
expand its marketing efforts to other manufactures in China and will initially
focus on the Chinese marketplace. The Company intends to develop distribution
channels in China to implement this plan and has begun sales and marketing
efforts. Sales efforts are already underway and the Company has received
favorable responses from over 30 potential customers. The Company has received
responses and expressions of interest by email, phone, fax, and letters of
intent, which if followed by binding orders, are expected to allow the Xinlong
Facility to operate at full capacity.
PATENTS
AND TRADEMARKS & LICENSES
Haitian
has no patent and trademarks as of this date. It has licensed, on an exclusive
basis for a ten year period, certain patented technology from JICT, which
technology is utilized in the production process at the Xinlong Facility. See
the discussion under the Section entitled “Technology”.
RISK
FACTORS
This
offering involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the
risks
described below before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of
the
following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case,
the
trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part
of
your investment. You should also refer to the other information in this report,
including our financial statements and the related notes. Except for historical
information, the information in this report contains "forward-looking"
statements about our expected future business and performance. Our actual
operating results and financial performance may prove to be very different
from
what we have predicted as of the date of this prospectus. The risks described
below address some of the factors that may affect our future operating results
and financial performance.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
WE
NEED
SIGNIFICANT INFUSIONS OF ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DILUTION TO
OUR
SHAREHOLDERS’ OWNERSHIP AND VOTING RIGHTS IN OUR COMPANY.
Based
upon our current cash reserves and forecasted operations, we believe that we
will need to obtain at least $ 1,230,000 of outside funding to provide the
working capital necessary to open and sustain operations at the Xinlong Facility
over the next twelve months, and at least another $1,230,000 million of funding
in order to fund future operations in the future. Our need for additional
capital to finance our business strategy, operations, and growth will be greater
should, among other things, revenue or expense estimates prove to be incorrect.
If we fail to arrange for sufficient capital in the future, we may be required
to reduce the scope of our business activities until we can obtain adequate
financing. The largest beneficial owner of our common stock, Wang Xitian has
indicated his intent to make advances to the Company to fund operations during
the next 12 months, if alternating sources are not available. However, Mr.
Wang
is not contractually bound to do so. We may not be able to obtain additional
financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms when needed, which could
adversely affect our operating results and prospects. Debt financing must be
repaid regardless of whether or not we generate profits or cash flows from
our
business activities. Equity financing may result in dilution to existing
shareholders and may involve securities that have rights, preferences, or
privileges that are senior to our common stock.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE
(HAITIAN) ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
UPON WHICH AN EVALUATION OF OUR COMPANY CAN BE MADE. FOR THAT REASON, IT WOULD
BE DIFFICULT FOR A POTENTIAL INVESTOR TO JUDGE OUR PROSPECTS FOR
SUCCESS.
We
were
organized in April 1999 and have had limited operations since our inception
from
which to evaluate our business and prospects. Most of our activities have been
centered on the construction of the Xinlong Facility and related financing
and
other start-up activities. We have had no revenue to date. There can be no
assurance that our future proposed operations will be implemented successfully
or that we will ever have profits. If we are unable to commence and sustain
our
operations, our shareholders may lose their entire investments. We face all
the
risks inherent in a new business, including the expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting
operations, including capital requirements and management's potential
underestimation of initial and ongoing costs. As a new business, we may
encounter delays and other problems. We also face the risk that we will not
be
able to effectively implement our business plan. In evaluating our business
and
prospects, these
difficulties
should be considered. If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we
will
not operate profitably and we may not have adequate working capital to meet
our
obligations as they become due.
WE
(HAITIAN) EXPECT TO INITIALLY SELL SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE TDDM WE MANUFACTURE
TO ONE CUSTOMER.
Once
the
Xinlong Plant is fully operational we expect to initially sell 100% of the
TDDM
we produce to JPC. We have an agreement in principle in this regard with JPC
but
not a binding contract. If we do not consummate this relationship, we will
have
difficulties establishing relationships with new customers in the short term
which would have a substantial negative impact on our business. Further, our
dependence on one customer could make it difficult to negotiate attractive
prices for our product and with other potential customers. Even as our customer
base increases over time, we expect our customer base to remain limited give
the
nature of TDDM and the limited number of customers in our primary market place,
China. We are also subject to additional risks of such a concentrated customer
base to the extent such customer does not make timely payments or any payments
at all. In order to mitigate these risks, we have commenced marketing TDDM
to
other customers and have received positive responses from over thirty potential
customers. However, we have no assurance that any of these potential customers
will acquire TDDM from us. In any event, we will provide priority to JPC and
expect that most of our initial production will be dedicated to
JPC.
THE
LOSS
OF OUR (HAITIAN’S) CURRENT MANAGEMENT TEAM COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT
ON OUR BUSINESS. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RETAIN ADDITIONAL KEY PERSONNEL, OUR
BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.
Our
success depends to a large degree upon the skills of our current management
team
and advisors, including Mr. Wang Xitian , and to a lesser extent, Song Delong,
and Yu Zhongzhou, and upon our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional
senior management, sales, marketing, scientific, and financial personnel.
Although, to date we have not experienced problems attracting and retaining
key
personnel, we may encounter such problems in the future as we grow and expand
our operations. The loss of any of our current executives, employees, or
advisors or the failure to attract, integrate, motivate, and retain additional
key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. To our
knowledge, none of our key employees has plans to retire or leave us in the
near
future.
WE
(HAITIAN) DEPEND ON ONLY ONE FACTORY TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS.
We
conduct all of our operations from one factory in Jilin City, China. Any
disruption of the operations in the factory could have a negative impact on
our
business. We currently do not maintain property insurance to protect against
damage and loss of our manufacturing facility, machinery and other leasehold
improvements. Therefore any material damage to, or the loss of, the factory
due
to fire, severe weather, flooding or other cause, would likely have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.
THE
FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR
(HAITIAN’S) BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
If
we are
successful in obtaining rapid market growth for the TDDM we manufacture, we
will
be required to deliver large volumes of quality products to what we expect
will
be initially one and then other customers on a timely basis at a reasonable
cost
to those customers. Such demand can also create working capital issues for
us,
as we need increased liquidity to fund purchases of raw materials and supplies.
We cannot assure, however, that business will rapidly grow or that our efforts
to implement and expand manufacturing and quality control activities will be
successful or that we will be able to satisfy commercial scale production
requirements on a timely and cost-effective basis. We will also be required
to
continue improving our operations, management and financial systems and
controls. The failure to manage growth effectively could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE
(HAITIAN) DEPEND ON A FEW SUPPLIERS AND ANY DISRUPTION WITH OUR SUPPLIERS COULD
HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
We
depend
on a few suppliers for the raw materials necessary to manufacture TDDM, and
any
disruption with those suppliers could have an adverse effect on our business.
We
have developed relationships with a single or limited number of suppliers for
materials that may or may not be otherwise generally available and are at times
in short supply. These relationships are evolving and we do not have written
contracts with key suppliers requiring them to sell raw materials to us. The
competition for these raw materials may be intense and we may not be able to
satisfy our needs from the suppliers we have contacted to date. Although we
believe that alternative suppliers are available to supply materials, any
interruption in the supply from any supplier or delays in developing
relationships with additional suppliers could delay product shipments and
adversely affect our relationships with our customers.
WE
(HAITIAN) CANNOT CONTROL THE COST OF OUR RAW MATERIALS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY
IMPACT OUR PROFIT MARGIN AND FINANCIAL POSITION.
The
main
raw materials for our products are dodecylene (coarse) and dodecylene (fine),
sulfur, hydrogen, alkali liquid and chemical catalysts. We expect the main
suppliers of dodecylene (coarse) and dodecylene (fine) will be Beckmann Chemical
Company of Germany, FRP Service & Company of Japan and Chevron Oronite
Company, LLC of the United States. The prices for our raw materials are subject
to market forces largely beyond our control, including energy costs, market
demand, and freight costs. The prices for these raw materials may vary
significantly in the future. We may not be able to adjust our product prices,
especially in the short term, to recover the increased costs in these raw
materials. Our future profitability may be adversely affected to the extent
we
are unable to pass on higher raw material and energy costs to our customers.
Further, the quality of the raw materials is also beyond our control. If the
quality of these raw materials is poor, it could have an adverse effect on
our
business.
OUR
(HAITIAN’S) BUSINESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON PROPRIETARY
TECHNOLOGIES.
Our
business is highly dependent upon proprietary technologies developed and
patented by JICT. While this technology has been satisfactorily tested, to
date
it has not been used in full scale production. If this technology does not
perform as expected our business would be adversely affected. Also, our success
depends on the knowledge, ability, experience and technological expertise of
our
employees. There can be no assurance they will operate the Xinlong Plant
capably. Our use of the JICT technology is only exclusive for a 10-year period,
after which JICT may license the technology to our competitors. We have enhanced
the JICT technology and intend to continue to do so. However, we cannot
guarantee that competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies
that are substantially equivalent or superior to the JICT technology as enhanced
by us or that JICT will protect the proprietary rights that it holds with
respect to the technology.
OUR
(HAITIAN’S) HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE CREATES RESTRICTIONS ON THE PAYMENT OF
DIVIDENDS.
Our
holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends.
We
have no direct business operations, other than our relationship with Haitian
through the “Exclusive Business Consulting Agreement”, the “Technology
Consulting Services Agreement” and the “Operating Agreement”. While we have no
current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do
so
our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt
of dividends or other payments from Advancetech BVI. In addition, Haitian,
our
operating subsidiary, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on
its
ability to make distributions and/or other payments, including as a result
of
restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of
local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory
restrictions. If future dividends are paid in Renminbi, fluctuations in the
exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars may adversely
affect the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend
payment into U.S. dollars.
THE
CHEMICAL BUSINESS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.
Despite
having advanced technology and producing high quality TDDM, we face limited
competition from domestic competitors in China and significant competition
from
multinational chemical manufacturers, primarily in Japan, South Korea, the
United States, France and Germany. Competition is based on a variety of factors
including maintenance of product quality, competitive pricing and delivery
efficiency. Many of our competitors are much larger than we are and have
significantly greater economic and other resources available. We expect our
most
significant competition to be primarily from Shangdong Xingwu Group (China),
Union Carbon Corporation (Japan), Autofina Chemicals, Inc. (France), Chevron
Phillips Chemical Company, LLC (United States), Bayer Group (Germany), and
Daewoo International Corporation (South Korea). If their numbers increase
significantly, our sales and profits may be adversely affected. Qualities of
imported products are generally higher and more stable than domestic Chinese
TDDM.
WE
(HAITIAN) MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN DEVELOPING AND INTRODUCING NEW
PRODUCTS.
Since
we
will initially manufacture TDDM only and expect to sell it exclusively in China,
our success will depend on the demand for TDDM by JPC in particular and in
China
in general, which will depend on factors beyond our control. If market demand
for TDDM or the prices we can change for this product is not sufficient for
us
to operate profitably, we may need to produce different or additional products.
We are currently investigating the manufacture of additional products. However,
doing so will require substantial additional financing which we may be unable
to
secure. We cannot guarantee that any attempt we make to manufacture new products
will be successful. If any such attempt fails, we may be unable to operate
profitably.
WE
(HAITIAN) MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH INTEGRATED AND LARGER
COMPETITORS.
We
compete with some of the world’s largest chemical companies, most of who are
engaged in much broader businesses and supply significant portions of the raw
materials they need to produce TDDM. We do not make any of the primary raw
materials required for TDDM production. Consequently, our production costs
can
be higher than those of our competitors during periods when demand for these
raw
materials exceeds supply and, in more extreme cases, we may not be able to
obtain these raw materials in the market at times when our competitors are
supplying their own raw materials.
OUR
(HAITIAN) OPERATIONS INVOLVE RISKS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE OR MAY
INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS.
A
business risk inherent in all chemical operations is the potential for personal
injury and property damage claims from employees, contractors and their
employees and nearby landowners and occupants. Particularly accidents with
respect to chemical leaks, electrical mishaps and the operation of equipment
could result in severe injuries or even death to employees. In addition, some
risk of environmental costs and liabilities is inherent in our operations and
products. Risks of this nature that we may face include:
· |
pipeline
leaks and ruptures, explosions and
fires;
|
· |
severe
weather and natural disasters;
|
· |
mechanical
failures, unscheduled downtimes, labor difficulties and transportation
interruptions;
|
· |
remediation
complications; |
· |
chemical
spills and discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances
or
gases; and
|
Some
of
these events can cause bodily injury and loss of life, severe damage to or
destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage, and may result
in suspension of operations and the imposition of civil or criminal penalties
and liabilities. We may also face expenses and liabilities as a result of past
or future operations relating to these risks. Furthermore, we are subject to
present and future claims with respect to workplace exposure, workers’
compensation and other matters.
We
are
not insured against most potential hazards incident to our business. If we
were
to incur significant liabilities, casualty or losses it would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
THE
RESTRUCTURING AGREEMENTS MAY BE CHALLENGED BY THE PRC RENDERING THEM
UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
In
order
to comply with PRC regulatory requirements, Haitian is operated by Haitian
Consulting, wholly-owned foreign enterprise ("WFOE") in the PRC, which is owned
entirely by our direct subsidiary based in the British Virgin Islands
(“Advancetech BVI”). As a result we do not have a direct controlling ownership
in Haitian. If the PRC government determines that these agreements are not
in
compliance with applicable regulations, our business interests in the PRC could
be adversely affected. We control and operate Haitian’s business through
contractual arrangements between Haitian Consulting (the WFOE), Haitian and
the
individual owners of Haitian, but we, Haitian Consulting and Advancetech BVI
do
not have an equity ownership in Haitian.
More
specifically, Haitian Consulting has agreed to advise, consult, manage and
operate Haitian’s business, to provide certain financial accommodations to
Haitian, and to provide certain technology services to Haitian for use in its
business, in exchange for Haitian’s payment of all of its operating cash flow to
Haitian Consulting. Further, each of the individual owners of Haitian have
granted Haitian Consulting the exclusive right and option to acquire all of
their registered capital in Haitian and have authorized Haitian Consulting
to
vote at any meeting or action of the owners of Haitian and to act as the
representative for such owners in all matters respecting Haitian.
Although
we believe we are in compliance with current PRC regulations, and have received
an opinion from legal counsel in this regard, we cannot be sure that the PRC
government would view these operating and contractual arrangements to be in
compliance with PRC licensing, registration or other regulatory requirements,
with existing policies or with requirements or policies that may be adopted
in
the future. If we are determined not to be in compliance, the PRC government
could revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue
or
restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us
to
restructure our operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with
which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business
operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions
against us that could be harmful to our business. We may also encounter
difficulties in obtaining performance under or enforcement of related
contracts.
We
must
reply on these operating and contractual arrangements to control and operate
Haitian’s business. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in
providing control over these entities as direct ownership. For example, Haitian
could fail to take actions required for our business or fail to maintain and
operate its business in compliance with its contractual obligation to do so.
Haitian may transact business with parties not affiliated with us. If Haitian
fails to perform under its agreements with us, we may have to rely on legal
remedies under PRC law, which we cannot be sure would be effective. In addition,
we cannot be certain that the individual equity owners of Haitian would always
act in the best interests of Haitian Consulting.
Substantially
all profits generated from Haitian will be paid to Haitian Consulting through
related party transactions under contractual agreements. We believe that the
terms under these contractual agreements are in compliance with the laws in
the
PRC. However, the interpretation and application of existing PRC laws,
regulations and policies, the stated positions of the PRC authorities and
possible new laws, regulations or policies, create substantial uncertainties
regarding the application of PRC laws, especially with respect to existing
and
future foreign investments in the PRC. As such, it is possible these contractual
agreements may be subject to differing applications and interpretations under
PRC laws. Further, due to the uncertainties surrounding the interpretation
of
the transfer pricing rules relating to related party transactions in the PRC,
it
is possible that tax authorities in the PRC may challenge the transfer prices
that we have used for related party transactions among our entities in the
PRC
in the future.
RISKS
RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA
Haitian
operates from facilities that are located in China. Accordingly, its operations
must conform to the governmental regulations and rules of China.
THE
PRC
LEGAL SYSTEM HAS INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD LIMIT THE LEGAL PROTECTIONS
AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY.
The
Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike
common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little
precedential value. In the late 1970s, the Chinese government began to
promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing commercial
matters. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has
significantly enhanced the protections afforded to Foreign Invested Enterprise
laws in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are
relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and
enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal
protections available to foreign investors.
The
practical effect of the PRC's legal system on our business operations in China
can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a
matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide
significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws
guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts
to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose
standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not
qualitatively different from the corporation laws found in the United States.
Similarly, PRC accounting laws mandate accounting practices which may not be
consistent with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The China
accounting laws require that an annual "statutory audit" be performed in
accordance with PRC accounting standards and that the books of account of
Foreign Invested Enterprises be maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting
laws. Article 14 of the PRC Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a
Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and
statements to designated financial and tax authorities, at the risk of business
license revocation.
Second,
while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than United
States procedures, Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned
Enterprises are Chinese registered companies that enjoy the same status as
other
Chinese registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. The
Chinese legal infrastructure is significantly different in operation from its
United States counterpart, and may present a significant impediment to the
operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.
At
this
time, the PRC does not have a well-developed, consolidated body of laws
governing foreign investment enterprises. As a result, the administration
of laws and regulations by government agencies may be subject to considerable
discretion and variation, and may be subject to influence by external forces
unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter. China’s regulations
and policies with respect to foreign investments are evolving. Definitive
regulations and policies with respect to such matters as the permissible
percentage of foreign investment and permissible rates of equity returns have
not yet been published. Statements regarding these evolving policies have
been conflicting and any such policies, as administered, are likely to be
subject to broad interpretation and discretion and to be modified, perhaps
on a
case-by-case basis. The uncertainties regarding such regulations and
policies present risks that we will not be able to achieve its business
objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce any
legal rights it may have under our contracts or otherwise.
Haitian
and Haitian Consulting is organized under the laws of the PRC and is governed
by
its articles of association.
PRC
ECONOMIC REFORM POLICIES OR NATIONALIZATION COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL INVESTMENT
LOSS IN OUR COMMON STOCK.
Since
1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems. Because many
reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined
and
improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political
changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation,
or
in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could
lead
to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment
process may negatively affect our operations.
Although
the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in
the
past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures
that
emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because
these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there are
no
assurances that:
|
-
|
We
will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;
|
|
-
|
The
Chinese government will continue its pursuit of
economic
|
|
|
reform
policies;
|
|
-
|
The
economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;
|
|
-
|
Economic
policies will not be significantly altered from time
|
|
|
to
time; and
|
|
-
|
Business
operations in China will not become subject to the
|
|
|
risk
of nationalization.
|
Over
the
last few years, China's economy has registered a high growth rate. Recently,
there have been indications that rates of inflation have increased. In response,
the Chinese government recently has taken measures to curb this excessively
expansive economy. These measures have included restrictions on the availability
of domestic credit, reducing the purchasing capability of certain of its
customers, and limited re-centralization of the approval process for purchases
of some foreign products. These austere measures alone may not succeed in
slowing down the economy's excessive expansion or control inflation, and may
result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy. The Chinese government
may
adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the
establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets. These
measures may adversely affect our operations.
There
can
be no assurance that the reforms to China's economic system will continue or
that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China's political,
economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese
government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be
introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation,
imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import
restrictions.
YOU
MAY
EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN EFFECTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS, ENFORCING FOREIGN
JUDGMENTS OR BRINGING ORIGINAL ACTIONS IN THE PRC BASED ON U.S. OR OTHER FOREIGN
LAW AGAINST OUR MANAGEMENT AND US.
Haitian,
our operating affiliate, is incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and
substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, many of
our
directors, managers, and executive officers reside within the PRC, and
substantially all of the assets of these persons are located within the PRC.
As
a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United
States or elsewhere outside the PRC upon certain directors, supervisors or
executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal
securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, the PRC does
not
have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or many
other countries. As a result, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of
judgments of a court in the United States and any of the other jurisdictions
mentioned above in relation to any matter may be difficult or impossible.
Furthermore, an original action may be brought in the PRC against us, our
directors, managers, or executive officers only if the actions are not required
to be arbitrated by PRC law and Haitian's articles of association, and only
if
the facts alleged in the complaint give rise to a cause of action under PRC
law.
In connection with any such original action, a PRC court may award civil
liability, including monetary damages.
GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OF CURRENCY CONVERSION AND THE FLUCTUATION OF THE RENMINBI MAY
MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS AS WELL
AS
THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITIES.
We
receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi, which currently is not
a
freely convertible currency. Effective July 1, 1996, foreign currency “current
account” transactions by foreign investment enterprises, are no longer subject
to the approval of State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE,” formerly,
“State Administration of Exchange Control”), but need only a ministerial review,
according to the Administration
of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange
Provisions
promulgated in 1996 (the “FX regulations”). “Current account” items
include international commercial transactions, which occur on a regular basis,
such as those relating to trade and provision of services and the payment of
dividends to us. Other non-current account items, known as “capital
account” items, remain subject to SAFE approval. Under current
regulations, in order to obtain foreign currency in exchange for Renminbi from
swap centers authorized by the government, we must first secure foreign exchange
certifications and approvals (“SAFE Approvals”) from SAFE. We are applying for
the SAFE Approvals and have been advised by counsel in China that securing
such
approvals is routine. Once we receive the required approvals, we should be
able
to obtain foreign currency to satisfy our requirements. However, there is no
assurance that we will be able to secure the required SAFE Approvals.
Furthermore, even if we receive the SAFE Approvals, foreign currency shortages
or changes in currency exchange laws and regulations by the PRC government
will
not restrict us from freely converting Renminbi in a timely manner. The
PRC government may, at its discretion, restrict access in the future to foreign
currencies for current account transactions. If this were to occur, we may
not
be able to pay the expenses we incur outside China, including those related
to
our status as a public company or pay dividends in United States currencies
to
our shareholders.
The
value
of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies fluctuates and
is
affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic
conditions. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies,
including Hong Kong and U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the
People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's
inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the
world
financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion
of
Renminbi to U.S. Dollars generally has been stable. Commencing in July 2005,
the
PRC Government has allowed the Renminbi to fluctuate, to a limited extent,
based
on market demand. Greater fluctuation has recently been permitted. As a result
the Renminbi has appreciated against the United States dollar. Any devaluation
of the Renminbi, however, may materially and adversely affect the value of,
and
any dividends payable on, our shares in foreign (United States) currency terms,
since we will receive substantially all of our revenues, and express our
profits, in Renminbi. Our financial condition and results of operations also
may
be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the
Renminbi. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in the political
and
social conditions in the PRC, and changes in governmental policies with respect
to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and
remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
THE
ECONOMY OF CHINA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH, WHICH COULD BE
CURTAILED IF THE GOVERNMENT TRIES TO CONTROL INFLATION BY TRADITIONAL MEANS
OF
MONETARY POLICY OR ITS RETURN TO PLANNED-ECONOMY POLICIES, ANY OF WHICH WOULD
HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON US.
The
Chinese economy’s rapid growth has led to higher levels of inflation. Government
attempts to control inflation may adversely affect the business climate and
growth of private enterprise in China, and may create a more challenging revenue
and expense environment for our business, which could have an adverse effect
on
our profitability.
A
DOWNTURN IN THE CHINESE ECONOMY MAY SLOW DOWN OUR GROWTH AND
PROFITABILITY.
The
growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and
economic sectors. For example, during the years between 1978 and 2000, the
per
capital GDP growth rate of Fujian Province in Southeastern China was 12% while
that of Gansu Province in Northwestern China was 5.3% (Source: New China
Statistical Materials Compilation for 50 Years and 2001 China Annual
Statistics). There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy will
be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our business.
Our profitability may decrease due to a downturn in the Chinese economy. More
specifically, Haitian operates in the less economically developed northeast
region of China and the success of our business will depend in part on Jilin
and
neighboring provinces achieving certain income levels.
ANY
OCCURRENCE OF SERIOUS INFECTIOUS DISEASES, SUCH AS RECURRENCE OF SEVERE ACUTE
RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS) CAUSING WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS, COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
A
renewed
outbreak of SARS or other widespread public health problems in China, where
all
of our revenue is derived, and in Jilin City, where our operations are
headquartered, could have a negative effect on our operations. Our operations
may be impacted by a number of public health-related factors, including the
following:
· |
quarantines
or closures of our factories or subsidiaries
which
|
|
would severely disrupt its
operations; |
· |
the
sickness or death of the key officers and employees;
and
|
· |
general
slowdown in the Chinese economy.
|
Any
of
the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems
could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
WE
MAY
SUFFER AS A RESULT OF ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
National,
provincial and local laws impose various environmental controls on the
manufacture, storage, use and disposal of chemicals. Although we believe that
our operations are in substantial compliance with current environmental
regulations, there can be no assurance that changes in such laws and regulations
will not impose costly compliance requirements on us or otherwise subject us
to
future liabilities. In addition, China is experiencing substantial problems
with
environmental pollution. Accordingly, it is likely that the national, provincial
and local governmental agencies will adopt stricter pollution controls. There
can be no assurance that additional or modified regulations relating to the
manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials used to
manufacture our products or restricting disposal of any waste will not be
imposed. Our business may be adversely affected if additional or modified
environmental control regulations are imposed upon us.
THE
PRC TAX AUTHORITIES MAY REQUIRE US TO PAY ADDITIONAL TAXES IN CONNECTION WITH
OUR ACQUISITIONS OF OFFSHORE ENTITIES THAT CONDUCTED THEIR PRC OPERATIONS
THROUGH THEIR AFFILIATES IN CHINA.
Our
operations and transactions are subject to review by the PRC tax authorities
pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws, regulations
and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and
enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, in the case of our acquisition
of offshore entities that conducted their PRC operations through their
affiliates in China, we cannot assure you that the PRC tax authorities will
not
require us to pay additional taxes in relation to such acquisitions. In the
event that the Advancetech BVI Members failed to pay any taxes required under
PRC law in connection with the Exchange Transaction, the PRC tax authorities
might require us to pay the tax, together with late-payment interest and
penalties.
RECENT
REGULATIONS RELATING TO OFFSHORE INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES BY PRC RESIDENTS MAY
INCREASE THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN WE FACE AND CREATE REGULATORY UNCERTAINTIES
THAT COULD RESTRICT OUR OVERSEAS AND CROSS-BORDER INVESTMENT ACTIVITY, AND
A
FAILURE BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE PRC RESIDENTS TO MAKE ANY REQUIRED
APPLICATIONS AND FILINGS PURSUANT TO SUCH REGULATIONS MAY PREVENT US FROM BEING
ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE PROFITS AND COULD EXPOSE US AND OUR PRC RESIDENT SHAREHOLDERS
TO LIABILITY UNDER PRC LAW.
Regulations
were recently promulgated by the PRC State Development and Reform Commission,
or
SDRC, and the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, that will
require registrations with, and approvals from, PRC government authorities
in
connection with direct or indirect offshore investment activities by PRC
residents and PRC corporate entities. These regulations apply to our
shareholders who are PRC residents and may also apply to certain of our offshore
acquisitions as well.
The
SAFE regulations retroactively require registration of direct or indirect
investments previously made by PRC residents in offshore companies. In the
event
that a PRC shareholder with a direct or indirect stake in an offshore parent
company fails to make the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries
of
such offshore parent company may be prohibited from making distributions of
profit to the offshore parent and from paying the offshore parent proceeds
from
any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect of the PRC
subsidiaries. Further, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration
requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for foreign
exchange evasion.
We
have already notified our shareholders, and the shareholders of the offshore
entities in our corporate group, who are PRC residents to urge them to make
the
necessary applications and filings, as required under these regulations and
under any implementing rules or approval practices that may be established
under
these regulations. However, as a result of the newness of the regulations,
lack
of implementing rules and uncertainty concerning the reconciliation of the
new
regulations with other approval requirements, it remains unclear how these
regulations, and any future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border
transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant
government authorities. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all
of
our shareholders who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make
or
obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by these regulations
or other related legislation. The failure or inability of our PRC resident
shareholders to receive any required approvals or make any required
registrations may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our overseas
or cross-border investment activities, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to
make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, as a
result of which our acquisition strategy and business operations and our ability
to distribute profits to you could be materially and adversely affected.
BECAUSE
OUR ASSETS ARE LOCATED OVERSEAS, STOCKHOLDERS MAY NOT RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS
THAT
THEY WOULD OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED TO IF WE WERE DECLARED BANKRUPT OR
INSOLVENT.
Our
assets are, for the most part, located in the PRC. Because the Company’s
assets are located overseas, the assets of the Company may be outside of the
jurisdiction of U.S. courts to administer if any of our Chinese affiliates
was
the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. As a result, if the
Company was declared bankrupt or insolvent, our stockholders may not receive
the
distributions on liquidation that they are otherwise entitled to under U.S.
bankruptcy law.
FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT COULD ADVERSELY
IMPACT OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION AND SUBJECT US TO PENALTIES AND OTHER ADVERSE
CONSEQUENCES.
We
are
subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally
prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited
payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining
business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us in the
PRC,
are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs,
theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in mainland China.
We have attempted to implement safeguards to prevent and discourage such
practices by our employees and agents. We can make no assurance, however, that
our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we
might
be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged
in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences
that
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
THERE
IS
A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. FAILURE TO DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN
A
TRADING MARKET COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR SHARES AND MAKE IT
DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There
is
no public market for our shares of common stock. While we intend to apply for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is no assurance we will be
successful. Even if our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, they
would likely initially be a limited trading market in our common stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market
could negatively affect the value of our shares and make it difficult for our
shareholders to sell their shares or recover any part of their investment in
us.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to
the
uncertainties relating to our future operating performance and the profitability
of our operations, factors such as variations in our interim financial results,
addition or departures of key personnel, potential litigation or various, as
yet
unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative
effect on the market price of our common stock.
We
cannot
assure you that our common stock will ever be included for trading on any stock
exchange or through any other quotation system (including, without limitation,
the NASDAQ Stock Market). In addition, securities markets have from time to
time
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related
to
the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations
may
also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
STOCKHOLDERS
COULD EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.
We
may
issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for
working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our
stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership
in us.
A
LARGE
PORTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONTROLLED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS.
A
large
portion of our common stock is held by a small number of stockholders. For
instance, Wang Xitian beneficially owns 28.50%
of the
Company's common stock (including 8.69% beneficially owned through Jilin Provine
Huizheng Venture Capital Co., Ltd), and Jilin Province Huizheng Venture Capital
Co., Ltd. holds 34.77
%. As a
result, these stockholders are able to determine the outcome of stockholder
votes on various matters, including the election of directors and other
corporate transactions including business combinations. In addition, the
occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the
perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could
impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities.
Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the
public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the
market price of our common stock.
WE
ARE
LIKELY TO REMAIN SUBJECT TO "PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS.
As
long
as the trading price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share, the
open-market trading of our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock"
rules. The "penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements
on
broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000
or
annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received
the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction before the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule
prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny
stock
market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both
the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for
the
securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens
imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell
the
common stock and may affect a stockholder's ability to resell the common stock.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often
related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics
and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive
and
undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
(v)
the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market.
WE
ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of our directors,
officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, including for
attorney's fees and other expenses, incurred by them in any litigation to which
they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf
of us. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures,
which we may be unable to recoup.
WE
HAVE
NO PRESENT INTENTION TO PAY DIVIDENDS.
We
do not
expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Should we
decide in the future to do so, our ability to pay dividends and meet other
obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our
operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our
operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on
their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive
covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency
into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.
We
will be unable to pay dividends until such time until we secure SAFE Approvals.
We intend to retain any future earnings for working capital and to finance
current operations and expansion of our business.
COMPLIANCE
WITH SARBANES-OXLEY ACT
The
US
Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002, better
known as Sarbanes-Oxley, is the most sweeping legislation to affect publicly
traded companies in 70 years. Sarbanes-Oxley created a set of complex and
burdensome regulations. Compliance with such regulations requires hundreds
of
thousands of dollars, additional personnel and hundreds of man hours of effort.
There can be no assurance that we will have the personnel, financial resources
or expertise to comply with these regulations.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The
disclosure and analysis in this document and particularly, in the sections
under
the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations”, contain some forward-looking statements. Certain of the
matters discussed concerning Haitian’s operations, cash flows, financial
position, economic performance and financial condition, including, in
particular, future sales, product demand, competition and the effect of economic
conditions include forward-looking statements within the meaning of section
27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, referred to herein as the Securities Act, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, referred to herein as the
Exchange Act.
Statements
that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or
conditions or that include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are forward-looking
statements. Although our management believes that these statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of orders, sales, operating
margins, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital,
capital expenditures, distribution channels, profitability, new products,
adequacy of funds from operations and other projections, and statements
expressing general optimism about future operating results, and non-historical
information, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties, and therefore,
we can give no assurance that these statements will be achieved.
Readers
are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from
the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
As
for
the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and
other
projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty
of
estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected.
Given these uncertainties, readers should not place any reliance on these
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent
our
management’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made.
We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking
statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the
date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes
in
expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.
We
undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Exchange
Controls and Exchange Rates:
The
existing foreign exchange regulations have significantly reduced government
foreign exchange controls for transactions under the current account, including
trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and payment of
dividends. The Company may undertake current account foreign exchange
transactions without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign
Exchange by producing commercial documents evidencing such transactions,
provided that they are processed through Chinese banks licensed to engage in
foreign exchange transactions. However, to be able to do so, the Company must
first secure foreign exchange certification certifications and approvals
(defined in this document as the “SAFE Approvals”) from the State Administration
of Foreign Exchange. The Company is applying for the SAFE Approvals and expects
to receive them in the ordinary course. However, there can be no assurance
on
this issue. If the Company does not receive the SAFE Approvals, it will be
unable to convert Renminbi into U.S. currency and thereby will be unable to
pay
dividends, it may have otherwise wished to pay to its shareholders, and may
be
unable to pay the expenses related to being
a
public company.
The
government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) PRC has stated publicly
that it intends to make its currency, the Renminbi, freely convertible in the
future. However, we cannot predict whether the PRC government will continue
its
existing foreign exchange policy and when the PRC government will allow free
conversion of Renminbi to foreign currency.
Foreign
exchange transactions under the capital account, including principal payments
in
respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject
to
significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange. These limitations could affect the Company’s
ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to
obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures, which limitations could apply
even after the SAFE Approvals are issued to the Company.
Since
1994, the conversion of Renminbi into Hong Kong and United States dollars has
fluctuated based on rates set by the People's Bank of China. The Renminbi to
US
dollar exchange rate was relatively stable from 1994 until July 2005, when
the
PRC government allowed it to fluctuate, to a limited extent, based on market
demand. Recently, greater fluctuation has been permitted. As a result, it the
Renminbi has appreciated against the United States dollar. We cannot predict
nor
give any assurance of its future stability. Fluctuations in exchange rates
may
adversely affect the value, translated or converted into US dollars, of the
Company’s net assets, earnings and any declared dividends. We cannot give any
assurance that any future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi against
the US dollar and other foreign currencies will not adversely affect the
Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
As
of
December 31, 2005, the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the PRC currency
was $1.00 to 8.0709 RMB (Renminbi).
The
following tables set forth the noon buying rates in New York for cable transfers
payable in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the "Noon Buying Rate") for the periods
indicated.
The
exchange rates per US$1.00 as of the last day of the five most recent fiscal
years are set forth below:

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
General
Reference
is made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, below, which should
be read in conjunction with this Management Discussion section. As used in
this
section, the “Company” or “We” or “Our” refers to Haitian and its subsidiary
Xinlong, collectively. References to Haitian and/or Xinlong separately, will
be
with reference to “Haitian” and “Xinlong”, respectively. The numbers and
percentages contained in this Section are approximate.
The
discussion and analysis of Haitian’s financial condition and results of
operations is based upon Haitian’s financial statements which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these financial statements requires Haitian to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, Haitian estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that, Haitian believes to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form Haitian’s basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

was no business activity from 1999 to 2002. The Company was in the development
stage in 2003, 2004 and 2005 to construct facilities and to purchase and install
equipment to manufacture TDDM, a fine chemical product mainly used as a
molecular weight regulator during the polymerization process of synthetic resin,
synthetic rubber and high impact polystyrene.
The
Company’s primary sources of funding to date have been capital contributions by
its shareholders, cash provided by short-term borrowings from lending
institutions and advances from its largest beneficial shareholder, Mr. Wang
Xitian. The Company’s primary uses of funds have been for capital expenditures
and repayment of advances from its shareholders.
Nine
month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005.

liabilities were $7,172,013 and shareholders’ equity was $ 4,840,341. Current
assets at September 30,2006 were $ 1,216,609 consisting of cash and cash

September 30,2006 was $536,171, a decrease of $113,811 from that used in the

investment was financed by additional advances from our shareholders. The
Company’s Capital Expenditure Plan for 2007 includes the acquisition of

Xitian, who is our largest shareholder, based on beneficial stock ownership,
has
indicated his intent to make advances to fund operations at Haitian during
the
next twelve months, if alternate sources are not available. However, Mr. Wang
is
not contractually bound to do so. We might not be able to obtain additional
financing in sufficient amounts or acceptable terms when needed, which would
adversely affect our operating results and prospects.
Result
of Operations
The
Company is a development stage company. Since 2003, the Company’s efforts have
been principally devoted to the construction of its plant located in Jilin
City,
PRC and the acquisition of equipment to be used in this business. From inception
to September 30, 2006, the Company has sustained accumulated losses of
$2,053,808, consisting of operating loss of $1,969,886 and non-operating loss
of
$83,992. Included in the non-operating loss was interest expense of $74,926
and
other expenses of $8,996. Also included in the operating loss was a loss from
selling and marketing expenses, as well as loss from general and administrative
expenses which mainly included depreciation expenses, amortization of intangible
assets, audit fees, stamp tax, land tax and real estate tax.
The
Company had $329,574 in inventory on September 30, 2006. Since September 30,
2006, the Company’s expenditures related to the construction of its plant and
the acquisition of equipment has been reducing as the plant is prepared for
operations. The Company also expects to incur increased operating losses until
its Plant is fully operational and through the early stages of its
operations.
General
and administrative cost necessary to support the completion of the plant and
the
acquisition of additional equipment approximated $322,489 in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006. These expenses are expected to increase in
2007
due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses as operation of the plant
commences. Since the plant is not expected to be fully operational until the
fourth quarter of 2006, the Company acquired a relatively small amount of
inventory, $329,574 , including spare parts and auxiliary materials , as of
September 30, 2006. The costs related to inventory, will substantially increase
in the fourth quarter of 2006 and in 2007 as the plant comes on line. The
Company expects to experience an increase in operating expenses as a result
of
increase in start-up expenses in connection with opening of the plant, which
the
Company expects to become fully operational in the fourth quarter of
2006.
The
Company believes that its largest shareholders will continue to advance or
contribute funds to the Company necessary for these purposes. The Company’s
strategy will also be to seek public or private financing through bank
borrowings and potentially through the sale of securities, at such time as
their
state of development and working capital requirements permit such outside
financing in order to reduce their financial dependence on their shareholders.
There can be no assurance whether financing from such sources or from others
will be made available to the Company.

construction costs and purchases of equipment and materials.
The
net
cash used in the Company’s operating activities in 2005 was $584,109, an
increase of $88,456 from that used in 2004. This increase was the result of

shareholders, bank borrowings, or capital contributions from the Company’s
shareholders or other investors. Mr. Wang Xitian, who is our largest

SECTION
16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s
directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than
10%
of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of
beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s
securities with the SEC on Forms 3 (initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership),
4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual
Statement of Beneficial Ownership Securities). Directors, executive officers
and
beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock are required by
SEC regulations to provide the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
that they file. Except as otherwise set forth herein, based solely on review
of
the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations
that no reports were required, the Company believes that each current officer,
director and beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company’s securities filed a
Form 3 with the SEC and has had no change of ownership since such filing and
that all of such persons has complied with the Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to them.
Description
of Securities.
After
the
consummation of the Exchange Transaction, we had authorized capital stock
consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of
which 40,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding. We do not have any
outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock. We do not have
any
equity compensation plans.
With
respect to the Common Stock: Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled
to
one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders.
Holders of shares do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of shares are
entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time
to
time by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion from funds legally
available therefore. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up,
the holders of shares are entitled to share. pro rata. all assets remaining
after payment in full of all liabilities. All of the outstanding shares are
fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of shares have no preemptive rights
to
purchase shares of our capital stock. There are no conversion or redemption
rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to our shares.
As
a
result of the Closing of the Exchange Transaction and the issuance of the
Boundless Common Stock to the Advancetech BVI Members, the Advancetech BVI
Members received approximately 30,600 shares of Boundless’ common stock,
representing 76.5% of the outstanding shares of Boundless’ common stock
immediately following the transaction. Global Access, a consultant to
Advancetech BVI, Haitian Consulting and Haitian, received an additional
5,400,000 shares of Boundless’ Common Stock, representing 13.5% of the
outstanding shares of Boundless’ Common Stock. The existing stockholders of
Boundless own approximately 4,000,000 shares of Boundless’ common stock,
representing 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
As
of the
Closing of the Exchange Transaction, the number of holders of record of our
Common Stock, $.01 par value, was approximately 727. The transfer agent for
our
common stock is American Stock Transfer Company, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn,
NY
11219 telephone:(718) 921-8208.
At
this
time there is no active market for our Common Stock. We intend to apply for
trading our Common Stock in the future in the over-the-counter market and to
apply for the Common Stock to be quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board.
Dividends
We
have
paid no cash dividends and have no present plan to pay cash dividends, intending
instead to reinvest our earnings, if any. Payment of future cash dividends
will
be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors, based upon our future
earnings (if any), financial condition, capital requirements
and other factors. We are not presently subject to any contractual or similar
restriction on our present or future ability to pay such dividends.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify, including for
attorney’s fee and other expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by law any
person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
fact
that such person or such person's testator or intestate is or was a director,
officer or employee of our company or serves or served at our request as a
director, officer or employee of another corporation or entity.
We
may
enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition
to
the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation. These
agreements, among other things, would indemnify our directors and officers
for
certain expenses (including advancing expenses for attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any
action or proceeding, including any action by us or in our right, arising out
of
such person's services as a director or officer of our company, any subsidiary
of ours or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services
at our request. In addition, we may, in the future, secure insurance providing
indemnification for our directors and officers for certain liabilities. We
believe that these indemnification provisions and agreements and related
insurance are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and
officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to
the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Section
3 - Securities and Trading Markets
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on
Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
The
issuance of the Boundless common stock to the Advancetech BVI Members and to
Global was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section
4(2) thereof and such other available exemptions, including, with respect to
the
Advancetech BVI Members, Regulation S of the Securities Act. Boundless made
this
determination based on the representations of Global and the Advancetech BVI
Members.
Section
4- Matters Related to Accountants and Financial
Statements.
Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a)
On
December 15, 2006, Boundless Corporation dismissed BP Audit Group, PLLC (“BP
Audit”) as its independent certified public accountants. The decision was
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The
report of BP Audit on the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion. During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
and 2004 and the subsequent interim periods preceding the termination, there
were no disagreements with BP Audit on any matter of accounting principles
or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BP Audit would have caused
BP Audit to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
connection with its report on the financial statements for such years or
subsequent interim periods, except that the report of BP Audit for both years
indicated conditions which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
The
Company requested that BP Audit furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether or not it agrees with
the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter furnished by
BP Audit in response to that request, dated December 15, 2006 is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b)
Effective December 15, 2006, Berstein & Pinchuck, LLP of New York, New York
(“BP”), was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the
engagement of BP, the Company has not consulted with BP regarding either: (i)
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on
the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement or event identified in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item
304 of Regulation S-B.
Section
5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item
5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on
Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers.
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on
Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Effective
as of the Closing of the Exchange Transaction, Joseph Gardner, the existing
director of Boundless resigned, and the following directors of Boundless were
appointed: Wang Xijun, Jin Yuanjie, Xie Jianhua and Steven Weissman. Mr. Gardner
will continue to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Wang Xijun serves
as
the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Also
effective as of the Closing, the existing officer of Boundless resigned, and
the
following officers were appointed by the newly constituted Board of Directors:
Wang Xitian, Jin Yuanjie, Cheng Xianqi, Song Delong and Xie
Jianhua.
The
resumes of Boundless’ Directors and Officers are included earlier in this Form
8-K in Item 2.01 under the caption “Directors and Executive Officers, Promoters
and Control Persons”.
None
of
the newly appointed officers and directors, nor any of their affiliates,
currently beneficially own any equity securities or rights to acquire any
securities of Boundless except as otherwise described in this Report, and no
such persons have been involved in any transaction with Boundless or any of
its
directors, executive officers or affiliates that is required to be disclosed
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), other than with respect to the transactions that have been
described in this Report or in any prior reports filed by Boundless with the
SEC. None of the newly appointed officers and directors have been convicted
in a
criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors,
nor
have they been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during
the
past five years, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or
settlement, that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the
person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state
securities laws.
Until
further determination by the Board, the full Board of Directors will undertake
the duties of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating
Committee of the Board of Directors.
Item
5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
Effective
as of the Closing, pursuant to the provisions of the bylaws of Boundless,
applicable to all holders of capital stock, the Board of Directors of Boundless,
by resolution increased the number of directors on the Board of Directors of
Boundless from one to five.
In
accordance with applicable laws, Boundless expects to amend its Certificate
of
Incorporation to change its name to Haitian Industrial, Inc. in the
future.
Item
5.06 Change in Shell Company Status.
As
a
result of the consummation of the Exchange Transaction described in Items
1.01
and 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company believes that it
is no
longer a “Shell
Corporation”, as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule
126-27 of the Exchange Act.
Section
8
Item
8.01 Other Events.
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Items 1.01, 2.01, 3.02, 4.01, 5.01,
5.02 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is
incorporated herein by reference.
