ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS
You should
rely only on the information in this Prospectus. We have not authorized anyone
to provide you with different information. The information in this Prospectus is
accurate only as of the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the time of
delivery or of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of this
Prospectus. From time to time, the Selling Shareholders may make offers to sell
and seek offers to buy shares of their Common Stock only in jurisdictions where
offers and sales are permitted. You should not consider this prospectus to be an
offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, shares of our Common Stock
if the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or if
it is unlawful for a person to receive the offer or solicitation.
Industry
data and other statistical information used in this Prospectus are based on
independent publications, government publications, reports by market research
firms or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on our
good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the
independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are
reliable, we have not independently verified the information.
The
Company’s fiscal year ends December 31st. Neither the Company nor any of its
predecessors have been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar
proceeding.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of
the statements made in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements,” as that
term is defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based upon
our current expectations and projections about future events. When used in this
prospectus, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect”
and similar expressions, or the negative of such words and expressions, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The
forward-looking statements in this prospectus are primarily located in the
material set forth under the headings “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and
“Business,” but are found in other parts of this prospectus as well. These
forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and
expectations for future operations and are based upon management’s current
estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that
our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You
should read this prospectus completely and with the understanding that actual
future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not
update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the
future.
Specific
factors that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations or may
affect the value of the Common Stock, include, but are not limited
to:
|
·
|
Our
ability to sell or place our products with the national and regional
distributors and retailers that we depend on to sell our products to the
public, especially since we lack the resources of our larger competitors
to direct market and sell to the public and some of our competitors in
certain business lines have significantly larger market share, brand
recognition and consumer loyalty than we enjoy; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Our
ability to access our Chinese contract manufacturers of our products and
the ability of Chinese contract manufacturers to produce products that are
price and feature competitive with the products of our competition’s
products; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Our
need for and ability to locate affordable and additional financing for
business and product development and mergers and acquisitions of new
businesses and new product technologies, and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
The
lack of primary market makers and institutional investor support for our
Common Stock in the public securities markets and the resulting
susceptibility of our Common Stock to selling pressure and resulting
inability to sustain increases in the market price for our Common Stock;
and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Our
history of a succession of failed businesses and product lines, poor
financial performance, frequent changes in management and business
focus and poor performance of our Common Stock in the public
securities markets discourages investment or funding of our Company by
investors and traditional financial institutions; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
As a
“penny stock” company, brokerage firms cannot recommend our Common Stock
to investors or accept orders for our Common Stock without completing
special paperwork;
and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
While
our current executive management has prior experience in our current
business lines and focus, our company has only been engaged in our current
business lines since September 2006 and from September 2006 through
January 2008 our management and resources were partially devoted to
closing or selling businesses that were not compatible with, and ramping
up our staff and business and product development efforts for, our current
business lines and focus.
|
Other
factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the
forward-looking statements in this prospectus are more fully described in the
“Risk Factors” start at page 11 below.

summary highlights material information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.
This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before

line to fund working capital needs (“Loan”). The Loan provides
funding for an amount up to 85% of eligible Capstone U.S. accounts receivable
and 50% of eligible Capstone inventory. The interest rate of the Loan shall be
the
Wall Street Journal
Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum (adjusted
automatically with changes in the
Wall Street Journal
Prime
Rate). Capstone management believes that this credit line and
available cash flow will be adequate to fund most of Capstone’s ongoing working
capital needs. CHDT and Howard Ullman, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of
CHDT, have personally guaranteed Capstone’s obligations under the Loan. The
foregoing summary of the Loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
documents evidencing the Loan, which are attached as exhibits 10.1 through 10.4
to the Form 8-K, dated May 1, 2008, and filed with the SEC on May 8,
2008.

Risk
Factors
|
|
The
purchase of our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully review and consider "Risk Factors" beginning on page
11.
|
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk and a number of
risks and should be regarded as highly risky and very speculative. As a result,
you should only consider purchasing Common Stock if you can reasonably afford to
lose your entire investment. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you
should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the
other information set forth in this prospectus. The following risks could
materially harm our business, financial condition or future results. If any such
risks materialize, the value of our common stock could decline, and you could
lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Although
we are optimistic about the potential of our current business line, our history
is one of a succession of failed businesses, changes in business lines and
management and businesses that failed to produce any sustained net profitability
and we have not attained sustained net profitability in our current business
line.
Our
corporate history is a succession of failed businesses and businesses that
failed to produce any sustained profitability and we have not been profitable
under our current business line. We also have a history of changes in
management associated with changes in business lines and location of our
principal executive offices.
While
current management has worked since October 2006 to build a professional
management team, develop a comprehensive strategic business and marketing-sales
plan, arrange traditional bank financing for Capstone’s product and inventory
needs and address many of the operating and financial deficiencies and problems
listed below, the Company has been plagued throughout its history with the
following deficiencies and problems: (a) continuing reliance on members of
management and their affiliates to fund operations by loans or investing in the
Company’s securities whenever cash flow from operations is inadequate to fund
such overhead; (b) lack of readily available, affordable traditional bank
financing for working capital needs and costs of significant corporate
transactions (primarily mergers, acquisitions, business development and product
development costs); (c) inadequate funding for mergers and acquisitions .; (d)
changes in management and business focus that occur on average every two to four
years; (e) cost of closing failed businesses and business lines and cost of
starting new businesses and business lines to replace failed businesses; and (f)
inability to raise working capital by offering Company securities in public
offerings due to weak public market for the Common Stock (See:
Risk Factors Relating to Our Common
Stock
below), which inability is the result of low market price for the
Common Stock and poor financial track record of Company, The efforts
of the current management have demonstrated strong revenue growth , but still
the Company has not achieved profitability in operations and the
Company may fail to achieve profitability under its current business lines and
business strategies.
We may
need additional financing in the future and any such financing may dilute our
existing shareholders
.
We
anticipate that we will continue to experience growth in our gross sales and
expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will use all
or most of our available cash flow and cash reserves. In the event that income
growth does not meet our expectations, we may require additional financing for
working capital. In addition, if we determine to grow our business through
acquisitions, any acquisitions we consummate may require outside financing. Any
additional financing may dilute our existing shareholders.
Additional
financing could be sought from a number of sources, including but not limited to
additional sales of equity or debt securities (including equity-linked or
convertible debt securities), loans from banks, loans from our affiliates or
other financial institutions. We may not, however, be able to sell any
securities or obtain any such additional financing when needed, or do so on
terms and conditions acceptable or favorable to us, if at all. If financing is
not available, we may be forced to consider strategic alternatives, such as (but
not limited to) curtailing certain aspects of our operations or closing certain
operating locations. If we successfully enter into a financing transaction, any
additional equity or equity-linked financing would be dilutive to shareholders,
and additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants.
Unpredictability
in financing markets could impair our ability to grow our business through
acquisitions
.
We
anticipate that opportunities to acquire similar businesses will materially
depend on the availability of financing alternatives with acceptable terms. As a
result, poor credit and other market conditions or uncertainty in the financing
markets could materially limit our ability to grow through
acquisitions.
The
markets for our products are competitive and we are a small business with
limited resources. We may be unable to sustain market share, win new
market share or remain competitive against competing products. Our markets are
such that we need to introduce new products or match the competition in price,
features and technology to remain competitive and either win or maintain market
share.
The
principal competitive factors in our markets include:
|
·
|
Ongoing
development of products that appeal to consumers in terms of design,
price, functions and benefits;
|
|
·
|
Reductions
in the manufacturing cost of competitors’ products;
|
|
·
|
The
ability to maintain and expand distribution channels;
|
|
·
|
Existence
of competing products with greater brand name appeal or recognition among
consumers or with superior technologies or functions;
|
|
·
|
The
ability to deliver our products to our customers when requested and to
obtain sufficient shelf space and exposure at retailers’
stores;
|
|
·
|
The
timing of introductions of new products and
services;
|
|
·
|
The
ability of larger competitors with greater resources than our company to
engage in predatory marketing and sales efforts, including pricing
products below cost, to deny or reduce market share for our
products, which tactics we lack the resources to
counter;
|
|
·
|
The
ability of management to handle growth and increased product lines with
expanding markets; and
|
|
·
|
Our
limited financial resources.
|
These and
other prospective competitors have substantially greater resources, more
customers, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more
established relationships in the industry. As a result, these competitors may be
able to develop and expand their distribution networks and product offerings
more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their
products and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. In addition, these
competitors may enter into business relationships to provide additional products
competitive to those we provide or plan to provide.
Our
future growth is dependent on new products.
Growth in
our future revenue stream and key to our goal of obtaining profitability depends
to a large degree on our ability to successfully bring new products to market on
a timely basis. We must continue to make significant investments in product
development, including possible acquisition of other companies or products or
technologies owned by other companies, in order to continue to develop new
products, enhance existing products and achieve market acceptance of such
products. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new
products. Our development stage products may not be successfully completed or,
if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance to justify the
cost of development and marketing and sales efforts. If we were unable to
successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new products, and enhance
existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely affected.
Development and manufacturing schedules for products can be difficult to
predict, and we might not achieve timely initial customer shipments of new
products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their
acceptance by customers are important to our future success, especially as a
small business that may not have the leverage or standing with distributors and
retailers as our larger competitors. A delay in new product introductions could
have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, especially in
terms of future dealings with the retailers and distributors that we rely upon
to sell our products to consumers.
Our
Products May Contain Errors or Defects, which Could Result in Damage to Our
Reputation, Lost Revenues, Diverted Development Resources and Increased Service
Costs, Warranty Claims and Litigation.
Although
we have not experienced any problems, including litigation, with the quality or
safety of our products, our products are used by the general public and we could
be subject to product liability lawsuits (even though our products are covered
by very short and limited product warranties). In general, our products may not
be free from errors or defects, which could result in damage to our business or
product reputation, lost revenues, diverted development resources, increased
customer service and support costs, warranty claims and potentially ruinous
litigation costs and damages – all of which could significantly harm our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our
success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for our
products, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing the
proprietary rights of others
.
Our policy
is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing
U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our technology, inventions and
improvements that are important to the development of our business. We have
three U.S. patents relating to various aspects of our products. Our patents or
patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented in the future
or the rights granted may not provide a competitive advantage. We intend to
vigorously protect and defend our intellectual property. Costly and
time-consuming litigation brought by us may be necessary to enforce our patents
and to protect our trade secrets and know-how, or to determine the
enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of
others.
We also
rely upon trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological
innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. We typically
require our employees, consultants, advisors and suppliers to execute
confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment, consulting, or
advisory relationships with us. If any of these agreements are breached, we may
not have adequate remedies available thereunder to protect our intellectual
property or we may incur substantial expenses enforcing our rights. Furthermore,
our competitors may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary
information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our proprietary
technology, or we may not be able to meaningfully protect our rights in
unpatented proprietary technology.
We cannot
assure that our current and potential competitors and other third parties have
not filed or in the future, will not file patent applications for, or have not
received or in the future will not receive, patents or obtain additional
proprietary rights that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to
make, use or sell our products either in the U.S. or internationally. In the
event we were to require licenses to patents issued to third parties, such
licenses may not be available or, if available, may not be available on terms
acceptable to us. In addition, we cannot assure that we would be successful in
any attempt to redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement or that
any such redesign could be accomplished in a cost-effective manner. Accordingly,
an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure
to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling our
products, which would harm our business.
We are not
aware of any other company that is infringing any of our patents or trademarks
nor do we believe that it is infringing on the patents or trademarks of any
other person or organization.
If we
experience manufacturing delays or interruptions in production, then we may
experience customer dissatisfaction and our reputation could
suffer.
If we fail
to produce enough products at our own manufacturing facility or at a third-party
manufacturing facility, we may be unable to deliver products to our customers on
a timely basis, which could lead to customer dissatisfaction and could harm our
reputation and ability to compete. We currently acquire various component parts
for our products from a number of independent manufacturers in the United
States. We would likely experience significant delays or cessation in producing
our products if a labor strike, natural disaster, local or regional conflict or
other supply disruption were to occur at any of our main suppliers. If we are
unable to procure a component from one of our manufacturers, we may be required
to enter into arrangements with one or more alternative manufacturing companies
which may cause delays in producing our products. In addition, because we depend
on third-party manufacturers, our profit margins may be lower, which will make
it more difficult for us to achieve profitability. To date, we have not
experienced any material delays to the point that our ability to adequately
service customer needs has been compromised. As the business develops and
quantity of production increases, it becomes more likely that such problems
could arise.
Our
directors, officers and our controlling shareholder possess controlling voting
power with respect to our common stock, which will limit practically your
influence on corporate matters.
Our
officers and directors collectively possess beneficial ownership of
approximately 272,199,564 shares of our Common Stock, which currently represents
approximately 48.5% of our Common Stock. Bart Fisher, a former
senior officer and director of the Company who from time to time presents
business opportunities to the Company and has paid for certain pre December,
2003 liabilities of the Company, and his wife, Margaret Fisher, own an aggregate
of 74,100,419 shares of Common Stock, which currently represents
approximately 13% of our outstanding Common Stock. Bart Fisher may be
deemed a business associate of the Company and sympathetic to and supportive
of Company management. As a result, our directors,
officers and Bart and Margaret Fisher (as our most significant non-management
shareholder), will have the ability to control our management and affairs
through the election and removal of our directors, and all other matters
requiring shareholder approval, including the future merger, consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
This
concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential
merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be
beneficial to our shareholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will
limit the practical effect of your participation in Company matters, through
shareholder votes and otherwise.
Our
articles of incorporation grant our Board of Directors the power to issue
additional shares of serial preferred stock and to designate other classes of
preferred stock, all without shareholder approval.
Our
authorized capital consists of 700 million shares of capital stock with 100
million of those shares may be issued as serial preferred stock without any
action by our shareholders. Our board of directors may designate and
issue serial preferred shares in such classes or series (including other classes
or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights,
preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and
voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of preferred
stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our
Common Stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having
preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of
our common stock. Furthermore, any issuances of additional stock (common or
preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current
holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per
share.
Because
we went public as a “blank check” company and are a “penny stock” company, we
have not been able to and may not be able to attract the attention of major
brokerage firms.
Additional
risks to our investors may exist since we started as a public blank check
company and did not develop any primary market makers or support of major
regional or national brokerage firms or security analysts of such brokerage
firms. This deficiency continues to plague the market price of our
Common Stock to date. Security analysts of major brokerage firms have
not and may continue to not provide coverage of the Company or its publicly
traded Common Stock because we are a “penny stock” company and have a poor
historical record in terms of business and financial performance, there is no
incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock.
Without brokerage firm and analyst coverage, there may be fewer people aware of
us and our business, resulting in fewer potential buyers of our securities, less
liquidity, and depressed stock prices for our investors.
We
are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, standards for compliance with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a
timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could
decline.
Rules
adopted by the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or “SOX”
require annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting, and
attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accounting
firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal
controls over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and
require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the
detailed standards. We expect to devote additional resources to
Section 404 of SOX compliance during the remainder of fiscal 2008 and on an
ongoing basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer or independent registered public accounting firm determine
that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined
under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market
prices of our shares of Common Stock will be affected; however, we believe that
there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively
impacted.
We
rely on a limited number of Key Personnel but we have no Key Man Life
Insurance.
We rely
heavily on the skills and experience of Stewart Wallach, our Chief Executive
Officer and President, and Gerry McClinton, our chief operating officer, for
executive operations management, strategic planning, product selection,
financial management and maintaining our relationship with essential retailers
and distributors. If either person was unwilling or unable to
continue in his current position, we have no key man life insurance or reserve
to pay to find and compensate an qualified replacement. Based on
current cash flow, we would have to offer a large incentive compensation package
to hire a qualified replacement for either Mr. Wallach or Mr. McClinton at
prevailing fair market compensation levels for such positions. In
light of the anemic historical performance of our publicly traded Common Stock,
even a large incentive compensation package may not attract qualified
replacement for either executive. The inability to replace either Mr.
Wallach or Mr. McClinton would significantly and adversely affect our company’s
ability to effectively manage operations and implement our strategic business
plan and these two functions are critical to our efforts to build a profitable
company.
Risk
Factors Relating to the Common Stock.
Our
Common Stock trades only on the OTC Bulletin Board in the United
States.
Trading of
our Common Stock is conducted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in the
United States. This fact as well as the lack of primary market makers and no
institutional support for our Common Stock results in an adverse impact on the
liquidity of our Common Stock, especially in terms of the number of shares that
can be bought and sold at a given price, the timing of transactions and lack of
security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us and our Common Stock. This may
result in lower prices for our Common Stock than might otherwise be obtained,
selling pressure causing significant drops in the market price for our Common
Stock, an inability to raise the market price for our Common Stock above five
cents on any sustained basis and could also result in a larger spread between
the bid and asked prices for our common stock.
Our
Common Stock’s Market Price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in Market
Price, which could result in substantial losses for investors or an illiquid
market for the Common Stock.
The
market price of our Common Stock is likely to be
highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in
price in response to various factors, many of
which are beyond our control, including:
|
*
|
our
lack of primary market makers for our Common Stock – we have market makers
but none are primary market makers who maintain an inventory of our Common
Stock and actively support the Common
Stock;
|
|
*
|
sale
of our Common Stock to fund
operations;
|
|
*
|
the
lack of research analysts or news media coverage of
CHDT or our Common Stock;
|
|
*
|
additions
or departures of key personnel;
|
|
*
|
sales
of our Common Stock;
|
|
*
|
our
status as a “Penny Stock” Company;
|
|
*
|
our
ability to execute our business
plan;
|
|
*
|
operating
results below expectations;
|
|
*
|
loss
of any strategic relationships;
|
|
*
|
economic
and other external factors,, especially inflation may cause consumers to
delay or not purchase consumer goods like our products;
and
|
|
*
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our financial
results.
|
You may
consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate
widely as a result of any of the above listed factors. In addition, the
securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We
do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock for the foreseeable
future.
We have
never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and we do not anticipate that we
will pay any dividends for the foreseeable future on our Common Stock.
Accordingly, any return on an investment in us will be realized only when you
sell shares of our Common Stock.
Our
Common Stock is “penny stock” under SEC Rules.
Our Common
Stock is currently traded on the OTCBB and is subject to the "penny
stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or “Exchange Act.” The penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ
companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have
tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been
operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that
brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than "established customers"
complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and
provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security,
including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain
circumstances. Penny stocks sold in violation of the applicable rules may
entitle the buyer of the stock to rescind the sale and receive a full refund
from the broker.
Many
brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because of the requirements of
the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to
act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain
subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop
an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our
securities are subject to the "penny stock rules," investors will find it more
difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, for companies whose securities
are traded in the OTCBB, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate
quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major
wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish
press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed
capital.
Sale
of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders
may cause the Market Price of the Common Stock to collapse.
Although
the Selling Shareholders do not currently intend to sell any significant number
or percentage of their shares of Common Stock, whether shares currently held or
issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock or exercise of
Non-Qualified Stock Options, the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock
and/or the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Options would substantially
dilute the stock ownership and voting power of the other shareholders of Common
Stock. The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result
of sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the
perception that these sales could occur. These factors could make it
more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of Common
Stock. While we have obtained a line of credit from the Sterling
National Bank for Capstone’s working capital needs, we continue to date to rely
on private placement of our securities and loans from management to fund
operations or business development efforts. Such reliance will not
only further dilute shareholders’ ownership in the Common Stock and their voting
power, but may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock by
creating the impression of financial weakness and further dilution of
shareholders’ equity stake in the Company. Since our Common Stock typically
trades below three cents per share on the OTCBB, such further dilution from
selling by the Selling Shareholders or conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock or exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Options could collapse the market for
our Common Stock to one cent or below per share. Such a decrease in
market price for the Common Stock makes an investment in our Common Stock even
more unattractive or risky to investors.
The
lack of primary market makers and institutional investor support for our Common
Stock limits the ability of our Common Stock to maintain any increases in Market
Price.
We lack
primary market makers and extensive institutional support for our Common Stock
traded in the public markets. As result, whenever the market price for our
Common Stock experiences any significant increase in market price, it is
difficult for our Common Stock to maintain such an increased market price due
to the pressure of shareholders selling shares of Common Stock to
reap any profits from such increase in market price and the lack of primary
market makers and institutional investors to stabilize and support any such
increase in market price of our Common Stock (by not selling their positions of
such stock in response to market price increases and entering the market to
purchase more shares of our Common Stock).

Introduction
The
following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting:
(i) our consolidated results of operations for 2008 compared to 2007; and (ii)
financial liquidity and capital resources. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and notes included in this Form 10-K.
We are a
developer and manufacturer of niche consumer products selling to distributors
and retailers in the United States. Our Capstone subsidiary currently operates
in five primary business segments: Lighting, Power Failure Lighting,
Power Tools, Automotive Accessories and Computer Peripherals.
Our growth
strategy has four main elements:
1.
Introduce our new product lines to more departments at existing retail
distribution channels; and
2.
Continue to expand retail distribution and move into new distribution channels;
and
3. Release
new innovative products in order to expand existing categories; and
4. Through
acquiring businesses that have innovative products that would compliment our
existing marketing strategies.
Capstone
Lighting products specialize in low cost, innovative portable lighting products
that we believe can win a profitable niche in market share without high market
penetration costs (especially marketing and advertising
costs). Capstone sells booklights, multi-task lights, flashlights and
also offers “Private Label” programs to major
retailers. “Private Label” is the manufacture of products by a
company and those products are sold under the name or trade name of the
manufacturer’s retailers, distributors or bulk buyers. In March
2009 at the International Hardware Show, Capstone
launched a new and expanded line of booklights and
multi-tasklights under the name PATHWAY LIGHTS.
In 2008
Capstone also launched the Eco-i-Lite ™ Power Failure Lights. In March 2009 the
company launched additional Eco-i –Lite™ products and many new trendy colors.
The Eco-i-Lite products have been developed in association with the engineers
from the STP® tools business unit.
STP®-branded
tools were launched in October 2007. This product line includes the new
technology lithium batteries for the 3.6v, 4.0v, 8.0v screwdrivers and 12v and
20v drill driver lines. The 20v system incorporates the Capstone designed Power
Axis Universal Battery System which allows the same battery to be
interchangeable with other 20v STP®-branded power tools such as reciprocating
saw, jig saw, circular saw, impact wrench, work light, detail sander and other
products. The line also includes the 19.2v Ni-cad drill driver system, which
system also uses a Universal Battery System.
STP®-branded
Automotive Accessories were also launched in October 2007. This product line
includes 200w, 400w, 800w and 1000w inverters, rechargeable Spotlights from 1
million candle power up to 10 million candle power, 12v air compressor, garage
clocks and weather centers.
As of the
date of this Report, we do not believe that we have a long enough history in
promoting the STP®-branded products to determine if this product line will be
successful or sustainable.
As a small
business issuer with limited resources, we do not have the resources to compete
head-to-head with larger, more established competitors for any of the
products. While we face fewer competitors in our booklight and
specialty light product line, we face many national or regional brand-named
competitors in the power tool product line. In general, we attempt to compete by
leveraging the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of our Chinese
contract manufacturers in order to provide quality products with more
functions at what we deem to be a value price and supported.
We also
seek to license established trade names to assist in competing with larger
competitors. STP® is the first instance of trying this strategy. We
believe that the use of a trade name like STP® combined with the competitive (in
terms of functions, quality and features) products offered will reduce the cost
of market penetration, which is essential because we do not have the money or
funding to compete head-to-head, market-to-market with large competitors like
Black & Decker, Mikita, Bosch or Ryobi. We believe that licensing
an established trade name like STP® was important to compete in the home use
power tool market because that industry has many very large competitors with
established market shares and years of consumer loyalty to their product lines.
Black & Decker is one example of a large, established competitor in the
North American home use power tool market.
Since the
start of the 1990’s, the history of CHDT has been a series of failed operating
subsidiaries engaged in various business lines. With each failed
business, we usually experienced a change in management and business
focus. We believe that these past failures were due to a combination
of one or more of the following: (1) inadequate financing of operations; (2)
absence of a readily available sources of affordable funding for operations and
product and business exception; (3) absence of any or enough experienced
managers or executives; (4) lack of adequate strategic and financial planning
and accurate budgeting projections; (5) general economic conditions and
downturns in industries that undermined many small businesses, especially in the
value-added reseller of computer hardware and software developer and systems
developer industries; (6) inability to raise money in the public markets due to
poor financial track record of CHDT, resulting low stock market
price and lack of sufficient institutional investor and market maker
support for CHDT Common Stock; (7) selection of business lines that CHDT was ill
suited to compete in or acquire; (8) operating losses severely limiting the
business and financial options and resources of CHDT; (9)
frequent changes in management and business lines; (10) concurrently operating
incompatible business lines that were ill-suited for a small business issuer;
and (11) acquisitions that diverted resources from existing operations and
ultimately failed and, as such, hindered CHDT’s efforts to attain profitability
on a sustained basis.
Starting
in 2007, we have sought to avoid the problems of the past by recruiting an
experienced management and sales team for the stated purpose to develop and
expand a consumer products business and we have endeavored to raise funds for
planned business development efforts. These steps have resulted in
losses on a quarter-by-quarter basis for fiscal year 2008, except the 3
rd
quarter
in which we had a profit, but we believe that this investment in corporate
infrastructure is necessary to lay the foundation for future success and
business and product development. While we are not certain that our
current strategy and business line will produce sustained future profitability
or any growth, we believe that the current strategy and business line is the
best approach for our current management team and available resources and, in
our opinion, the most likely path to any hope of sustained future
profitability.
For the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s revenues were derived from
5 sources: (i) the sale of our booklight products (Capstone and its booklight
product line was acquired by CHDT in September 2006); (ii) sale of Eco-i-Lite ™
Power Failure Lights, (iii) sale of our STP® tools power drills and automotive
accessories; (iv) for fiscal year 2007, the sale of promotional, gift and
souvenir items by our sold SDI subsidiary; and (v) revenues, if any, from our
51% membership interest in CPS, which interest we divested in 2007.
Despite
the recent efforts to make CHDT and its operations a focused and professionally
run organization, we continue to be hampered in our efforts to achieve sustained
profitability by problems that stem from the past and our history of failed
businesses.
The
failure of CHDT to achieve sustained profitability in its operations continues
to hamper our efforts to establish and sustain a profitable, growing
business. In fiscal year 2008, we had to continue our historical
reliance on raising working capital for operations and business and product
development by selling securities to investors and/or receiving loans or
investment from members of management or their affiliates.
We were able to obtain a conventional asset based bank
loan to help support Capstone operations and working capital needs
,however we may have to continue to raise working capital for CHDT
working capital and for Capstone business and product development (as well as
mergers and acquisitions of other companies or their products) by selling our
securities in private placements to investors and/or loans or investments by our
management and their affiliates. This reliance on private placements of
securities and insider loans or investments adds to the already huge number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, dilutes our shareholders and further weakens
our ability to attract primary market makers and institutional investor support
for our Common Stock as a publicly traded security and also adversely impacts on
our ability to do mergers and acquisitions, attract traditional bank funding or
raise working capital by public offerings of our securities.
Our lack
of primary market makers and institutional investor support of our Common Stock
also contributes to our burden in achieving sustained, profitable business
lines. These problems stem from the manner in which CHDT was
taken public in the late 1980’s and developed a public market for the Common
Stock in 1998. CHDT did not, and perhaps could not under then current
circumstances, do an underwritten initial public offering and produce a national
network of broker-dealers and institutional investors interested in long-term
investment in CHDT and stability in the market price for the Common Stock. As a
result, we have had difficulty in sustaining any increases in the market price
of the Common Stock. When the market price of the Common Stock enjoys
any significant percentage increase, shareholders tend to sell the Common Stock
to reap any gains (no matter how small) from the market price increase and the
selling causes the market price of the Common Stock to fall back to prior
levels. Since there are no primary market makers or institutional
investors supporting the Common Stock, there are no investors effectively
countering the impact of the selling pressure on the market price for the Common
Stock. The low market price and lack of support for our Common Stock means that
we are hampered in our ability to resort to the public markets to raise working
capital because of the low stock market price. As such, we do not readily enjoy
one of the principal benefits of being a public company: ready access to the
public securities markets for working capital.
We intend
to address the above problems in public and market maker support for our Common
Stock by: (1) establishing revenue growth in consecutive
fiscal quarters in our current consumer product business line in order to
demonstrate that current management has a sound business line and business
strategy; (2) upon establishing a record of profitability, members of management
and agents will solicit support from institutional investors, asset managers,
market makers and others to provide long-term investors in the Common Stock and
stability in the public market for the Common Stock; (3) seek investment banker
assistance in developing a strategic plan, including an acquisition plan, to
dramatically grow CHDT in our core business line, the consumer product
line. We can make no assurances that we shall succeed in this
effort.
We intend
to remain focused on niche consumer products that we believe can attain a
profitable market niche with minimal market penetration costs and is attractive
to our existing distribution channel of regional and national retailers and
distributors. We intend to develop new products by internal efforts as well as
acquire new products by mergers and acquisitions.
Results of
Operations: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss
from continuing operations of approximately $1,338,000. For the year ended
December 31, 2007 the Company had a net loss from operations of $1,213,000. That
is a net loss increase of $125,000 over 2007 results.
Total Net
Revenues: For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had total
sales of approximately $6,616,000 and $2,826,000 respectively, for an increase
of $3,790,000 which represents an 134% increase over 2007 results. All of the
revenue was generated by Capstone. This increase was due to placement of STP®
branded products shipped to automotive retailers, online retailers, and
warehouse clubs, placement of the Eco-i-Lite, the Company’s new multi
functional light which we expect will be a strong revenue producer in 2009 and
continued sales of our Booklight program. The 2007 revenues did not
include any revenues from the new STP-branded tools..
Cost of
Sales: For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had cost of sales of
approximately $4,589,000 and $1,623,000, respectively. This cost represents
69.4% and 57.4% respectively of total Revenue. As a percentage of Total Revenue
costs have increased. This is a direct result of the expanded mix of products
now being sold. In 2007 Revenues were primarily comprised of book
lights sales.
Gross
Profit: For 2008, gross profit was $2,026,000, an increase by approximately
$823,000 or 68% from 2007. For 2007, gross profit was
$1,203,000. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 30.6% for the
year as compared to 42.6% for 2007. This gross profit decrease is a direct
result of two factors.
1.
With our
expanded product lines the Gross Profit is now a blended
percentage. Each product category provides a different Gross Profit
percentage
2.
Our larger
customers are now buying on a direct import basis. The gross margin percentages
are lower in this selling scenario but the Company’s expenses are also reduced
as the customer is responsible for related expenses such as freight, duties and
handling costs.
Even
though the blended gross profit % to sales has decreased, the overall gross
profit increased by $823,000 or 68% from 2007. This increase is attributed
directly to the increase in product sales volume.
Operating
expenses were $3,075,000 in 2008 as compared to $2,454,000, an increase
approximately by $621,000. This increase can be attributed to various
factors.
Employee
compensation for 2008 was $1,593,000 an increase of $173,000 from $1,420,000 in
2007. This was the result of hiring executives to build up the management
structure for CHDT and the hiring of experienced sales executives to assist in
launching Capstone’s new product lines and STP-branded
tools . Note the 2007 expense only reflected part of the payroll expense of the
new management team. CHDT also recognized in the compensation expense
approximately $523,123 for stock options granted in 2008.
For 2008 the
Sales and Marketing Expenses were $557,000 an increase of $390,000 or
233% over the $167,000 expensed in 2007. This reflects the increased sales and
marketing efforts being made to promote our new product lines and investment for
future continued revenue growth.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expenses were $177,000 an increase of $139,000 or 365% over the
$38,000 expensed in 2007. This represents the depreciation and amortization of
the cost of investing in the new moulds for the power tools and Eco-i-Lite
programs and investment in new packaging design and molds. This represents
another investment for possible future revenue growth.
Other
Income (Expense): Interest Expenses for 2008 was $291,000 an increase of
$166,000 or 133% over $125,000 expensed in 2007. This expense increase was the
direct result of the new bank line of credit and additional funding required to
finance the increased order activity overseas.
Net Income
(Loss):
The Loss
for 2008 was $1,338,000 against a Loss of $1,213,000 for 2007, an increased loss
of $125,000. Despite the increased revenue our loss increased. However we have
incurred substantial expense in 2008 that will help us to continue future
revenue growth.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
An
allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. The
allowance for bad debt is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the
receivables. This evaluation in inherently subjective and requires
estimated that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information
becomes available.
As of
December 31, 2008, management has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$67,433. Net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 was
$2,399,859.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On January
1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(Revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, SFAS 123(R), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based
on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous
accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations, applied for
periods through December 31, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS
123(R). The Company has applied the provision of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123(R).
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application
transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as
of January 1, 2006, the first date of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006
reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective
method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS
123(R).
SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expenses over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated
statements of income (loss). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB 25, as allowed under SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123). Under the intrinsic value
method, compensation expense under fixed term option plans was recorded at the
date of grant only to the extent that the market value of the underlying stock
at the date of grant exceeded the exercise price. Accordingly, for those stock
options granted for which the exercise price equaled the fair market value of
the underlying stock at the date of grant, no expense was recorded.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the
portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during
the period. There was no stock-based compensation expense
attributable to options for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for
compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not
vested as of December 31, 2005. Such stock-based compensation is
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma
provisions of SFAS 123. Compensation expense for share-based payment
awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 are based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
In
conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company adopted the
straight-line single option method of attributing the value of stock-based
compensation expense. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized during
the period is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is subject to
reduction for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be
estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods
if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, there were no material amounts subject to forfeiture. The
Company has not accelerated vesting terms of its out-of-the-money stock options,
or made any other significant changes, prior to adopting FASB 123(R),
Share-Based Payments.
On April
23, 2007, the Company granted 130,500,000 stock options to two officers of the
Company. The options vest at twenty percent per year beginning April
23, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company
recognized compensation expense of $503,075 related to these options. On May 1,
2008, 850,000 of the above stock options were canceled and on May 23, 2008,
74,666,667 of the above stock options were cancelled. For year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $405,198
related to these options.
On May 1,
2007, the Company granted 4,000,000 stock options to five employees of the
Company. The options vest over two years. For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$29,214 related to these options. During 2008, 1,000,000 of the
above options were cancelled prior to vesting. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $25,131
related to these options.
On October
22, 2007, the Company granted 700,000 stock options to a business associate of
the Company. The options vest over two years. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,330
related to these options. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $7,978 related to these
options.
On January
10, 2008, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options to an advisor of the
Company. The options vest over one year. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $19,953
related to these options.
On
February 5, 2008, the Company granted 3,650,000 stock options to four directors
and one employee of the Company. The options vest over two
years. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $59,619 related to these options.
On May 1,
2008, the Company granted 850,000 stock options to an employee of the
Company. The options vest over two years. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $5,242
related to these options.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense paid with common stock and other equity
instruments issued for assets and services received based upon the fair value of
the assets/services or the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily
determined.
As of the
date of this report the Company has not adopted a method to account for the tax
effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R) and related
interpretations. However, whereas the Company has substantial net operating
losses to offset future taxable income and its current deferred tax asset is
completely reduced by the valuation allowance, no material tax effects are
anticipated.
During the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company valued stock options using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. Since the exercise price
of stock options previously issued was greater than or equal to the market price
on grant date, no compensation expense was recognized.
Write-Off Notes
Receivable:
In December 2007, we determined that two notes,
totaling $427,710 held by CPS were uncollectible. The first note executed by CPS
William Dato on June 27, 2006 was part of the Purchase and Settlement Agreement,
dated December 31, 2007, (
See
Exhibit 2.1 to Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
)
and was valued at $202,150 when written off. The second note executed
on January 26, 2007 was part of the Purchase and Settlement Agreement, dated
December 31, 2007, (
See Exhibit 2.1.1 to our Form 10-KSB
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
) entered into with CPS to
allow for the repurchases by CPS of the 51% membership interest owned by CHDT.
This note was valued at $225,560 when written off. CHDT
aggressively pursued legal action to collect these notes, but they are now
deemed uncollectable.
Directors & Officers
Insurance
: We currently operate with directors’ and officers’ insurance
and we believe our coverage is adequate to cover likely liabilities under such a
policy.
Impact of Inflation:
To date,
we have not experienced any significant effect from inflation. Our
major expenses have been the cost of selling and marketing product lines to
customers in North America. That effort involves mostly sales staff
traveling to make direct marketing and sales pitches to customers and potential
customers trade shows around North America and visiting China to
maintain and seek to expand distribution and manufacturing
relationships and channels. We generally have been able to reduce
cost increases by strong negotiating or re-engineering products.
Currency
. The U.S. dollars is
the currency of used in all of our commercial transactions.
Discussion
of Critical Accounting Policies
Our
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these
estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on the
information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Our
significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Nature of Business and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our audited
consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus.
We believe
that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant
estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements:
SEC Staff Letters and Adjustment of
Prior Financial Statements.
None for fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.
Prior
Fiscal Years. As previously reported in our SEC filings, we received
comments and inquiries from the Division of Corporation Finance (“DFC”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 7, 2007, which
communication concerned our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006. The comments and inquiries were part of the DFC’s periodic review of
SEC-reporting company Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 periodic filings. As
part of the Company’s response to the SEC, the Company filed a Form 8-K, dated
and filed with the Commission on October 12, 2007, to report the corrections to
the financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
that were previously filed as Note 14 to the financial statements of the
Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Note 14
states in its entirety: “We have restated our balance sheet at December 31,
2005, and statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2005. The restatement impacts the year ended
December 31, 2005, but has no effect on the financial statements issued in prior
fiscal years. The restatement is the result of a correction of an
error. In 2005, the Company did not accrue $175,000 of directors'
fees that had been authorized, but not paid at December 31, 2005. The $175,000
was paid in 2006 with the issuance of Common Stock. Also, the Company had
accrued $30,600 in payroll tax expense on accrued compensation of $200,000 that
had been paid in stock at December 31, 2005, that was subsequently treated as
contract services and not employee services. The impact of the
restatement on the balance sheet was to increase current liabilities from
$573,351 to $717,751. The impact of the restatement on net loss is an
increase of $144,400, from $589,171 to $733,571 net of tax for the year ended
December 31, 2005. There was no change in the loss per share.”
Date of
Conclusion regarding Corrections to Annual Financial Statements for the Fiscal
Year Ending December 31, 2005. The errors in accounting treatment of
the two compensation issues referenced above came to light on March 1, 2007 as a
result of the audit work for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2006.
Audit
Committee Response: Independent director and audit committee member Jeffrey Guzy
has discussed the aforementioned corrections with Robison Hill & Co., the
Company’s public auditors. The conclusion of those discussions was
that the errors were the result of Company management misunderstanding inquiries
from the public auditors and that misunderstanding resulted in a response to the
auditors that produced the two errors in the fiscal year 2005 audit. Mr. Guzy
and the public auditors also concluded that the Company’s addition of a chief
operating officer with financial and accounting experience in early 2007 and the
addition of an in-house bookkeeper assisted by a local accountant in early 2007
should help prevent any repeat of the miscommunication between management and
the public auditors about such compensation matters and their accounting
treatment.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
December 31, 2008, we had cash of $156,371 compared to $257,802 at December 31,
2007. Cash decreased by $101,431 during fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and
cash increased by $59,718 during fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. For fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009, we believe that our available cash, cash flows
from operations, available funds from our asset based loan with
Sterling Bank,combined with short term loans from directors and the
proceeds from the sale of CHDT treasury Common
Stock as needed, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements during fiscal year ended December 31,
2009.
Net cash
used by operating activities was $613,649 in fiscal year ended December 31, 2008
as we suffered an operating loss of $1,338,736 and $1,297,964 in December 31,
2007 as we suffered an operating loss of $1,213,658. Operating cash
flows from 2007 to 2008 consist of money spent increasing our executive staff,
sales force, infrastructure and marketing and sales expenditures as Capstone
ramped up to promote existing and new products. No dividends have
been paid by us at any time prior to the date of this Prospectus.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no
off-balance sheet arrangements.
Changes in and Disagreements with
Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
. We have
had no changes in accountants or disagreements with our accountants in fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008 or in 2009 to date.

Corporate History.
The Company
was incorporated under the name “Freedom Funding, Inc." in Delaware on September
18, 1986. On January 18, 1989, the Company reincorporated from
Delaware to Colorado. On November 18, 1989 the name of the Company was changed
to "CBQ, Inc." On May 17, 2004, the Company changed its name
from "CBQ, Inc.” to “China Direct Trading Corporation” and also
reincorporated from Colorado to Florida by a statutory merger.
Our and
Capstone’s principal offices are located at 350 Jim Moran Boulevard, Suite 120,
Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442, located in Broward County, and our telephone
number at that office is (954) 252-3440.
From 1986
through 1997, the Company had no business operations and its sole activity was
to pursue its business plan to investigate business opportunities in which to
engage by merger or acquisition. The Company was a "blank check" shell company
during this initial development stage.
From 1997
through 2002, the Company acquired a series of small, private companies. These
operating subsidiaries were engaged in either software systems development
operations, resellers of computer hardware and software manufactured by other
companies, installers and repair firms of computer networks, or providers of
various information technology technical consulting services. Most of these
acquisitions were accomplished by stock-for-stock exchanges. By the fourth
quarter of 2002, these operating subsidiaries had ceased conducting business due
to their inability to compete effectively in their respective geo-graphical
markets; loss of key sales, technical, sales and management personnel;
unexpected downturns in customer demand in certain industries (especially in the
value-added reseller of computer hardware and software), inadequate management
and planning (especially the lack of a coherent strategic business plan);
failure of CHDT to eliminate duplicative overhead among its operating
subsidiaries; inadequate financing of operations; use of financing for
non-revenue generating purpose; inability to obtain financing or funding on
affordable or commercially reasonable terms or at all; or a combination of the
foregoing factors.
By the
first quarter of fiscal year 2003, we had no business operations or
source of revenue and our management was reduced to a
caretaker officer and one to two directors.
From December 1,
2003 to September 2006: On December 1, 2003,
we acquired
Souvenir Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation (“SDI”) owned by our Chairman of
the Board of Directors, Howard Ullman. SDI, which became the Company's sole
wholly-owned operating subsidiary at that time. SDI management also
became our management as part of the stock-for-stock acquisition of
SDI.
On January
27, 2006, CHDT entered into a
Purchase Agreement (the “CPS
Purchase Agreement”) with William Dato (“Dato”)
and Complete Power Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company, (“CPS”) pursuant to which
CHDT acquired from Dato a 51% of the member interests of
CPS for a purchase price consisting of the payment of $637,000 in cash and the
delivery of 600,000 shares of CHDT's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred
Stock”) having a stated value of $1,200,000 which are convertible into
50,739,958 shares of CHDT's Common Stock.
On January
26, 2007, we entered into a Purchase and
Settlement Agreement, dated and effective as of December 31,
2007 ("CPS Settlement Agreement") with CPS, Dato and
Howard Ullman (our Chairman of the Board and also Chief
Executive Officer at the time), whereby: (a) CPS is
repurchasing the 51% CPS Membership Interests owned by us
in return for the transfer of 600,000 shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock"), and which are convertible into 50,739,
958 shares of our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, beneficially owned
by Dato, to us, and (b) the issuance of a promissory note
by CPS to us in the principal amount of $225,560, bearing
annual interest at 7% with interest-only payments commencing on July
1st and thereafter being paid quarterly on April 1st, July 1st,
October 1st and January 1st until the principal and all
unpaid interest thereon shall become due and payable on
the maturity date, being January 26, 2010, (the "2007 Promissory
Note") and (c) the mutual releases contained in the
Agreement. As a result of this transaction, we have no ownership
interest in CPS and neither CPS nor Dato will have
an ownership interest in us (from the CPS Purchase
Agreement).
The 2007
Promissory Note provides that if principal and accrued interest thereon is not
paid in full by the maturity date, then
2007 Promissory Note's maturity date will be
roll over for successive one year periods until paid in
full. For any roll over period, the
annual interest will be increased to 12%.
The 2007
Promissory Note also provides that the principal
amount may be automatically increased by an amount up to $7,500 if
the amount claimed as the cost
of replacement of a garden by
the customer for a
power generator is abandoned or settled for less than
$7,500. The Agreement allows CPS to off set, if CPS
so elects, any payments due under
the 2007 Promissory Note to us by any amounts
owed to CPS under
the indemnification provisions of the CPS
Settlement Agreement.
The 2007
Promissory Note, CPS Settlement Agreement and CPS Purchase Agreement are
attached as exhibits to this Report and all summaries herein of those agreement
and instrument are qualified in their entirety by reference to said agreements
and note as attached as exhibits hereto.
CPS is
also indebted to us under a promissory note in the original
principal amount
of $250,000, executed by Dato on June 27, 2006
and payable to us, bearing interest at 7% per annum and
maturing on June 30, 2007, subject
to extension (the
"2006 Promissory Note") and subject to offset by (i)
$41,600 owed by an affiliate of CHDT to the CPS for funds
advanced by CPS for portable generators which
were never delivered and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount
paid to compensate CPS for refunds required to be made to clients of CPS
for cancelled sales
made personally by Howard Ullman (which
amounts have been applied first to
accrued and unpaid interest due September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2006 and then applied to quarterly interest payable on the
principal of the 2006 Note to maturity (June 30, 2007), and then to
reduce the principal amount of the
2006 Promissory Note to $210,900).
Further, the
CPS Settlement Agreement: (a) cancels the
Voting Agreement, dated January 27, 2006, by
and among Dato, CHDT and Howard Ullman; (b) removes us as
a party to the Employment Agreement, dated January 27, 2006, with Dato and CPS
and (d) requires CPS and Dato to cooperate with
us and the
auditors in completing all audits required by
CHDT’s Commission-reporting obligations in fiscal years 2006 and
2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Dato resigned from all
positions at CHDT and Howard Ullman resigned from all positions at
CPS - both effective January 26, 2007.
The net
result of the CPS Settlement Agreement is to cancel the transactions entered
into by and among CHDT, CPS and Dato under the CPS Purchase Agreement by and
among CHDT, CPS and Dato, which transaction was reported by the Form
8-K filed by CHDT with the Commission on January 31, 2007, and
end CHDT’s involvement in the distribution of commercial
and residential standby power generators by CPS.
CHDT. was
forced to take legal action to collect all outstanding amounts including full
payment of principals. On March 10th, 2008 we were granted a Final Summary
judgment against CPS (Case # CACE07-19082 (25) 17th Judicial Court, Broward
County, Florida) for the following amounts June note $238,748.90 and January
note $262,990.88 for a total of $501,739.78. We actively pursued
further legal action to collect this judgment but we have now
determined that this judgment is uncollectable
On
September 15, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone and
Stewart Wallach, the sole shareholder, a director and a senior executive officer
of Capstone. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired 100% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Capstone Common Stock in exchange for $750,000 in cash
(funded by the previously reported credit line provided by certain directors of
CHDT) and $1.25 million in Series B Preferred Stock, $0.10 par value per share,
which Series B Stock is convertible into 15.625 million “restricted” shares of
our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”). We have agreed
to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act to cover the
conversion of the Series B Stock issued to Mr. Wallach in the acquisition of
Capstone. We anticipate filing such registration statement in
mid-2009.
As of
January 1, 2007, SDI consolidated
its operations and sales and marketing
efforts into Capstone’s operations umbrella in order to
streamline operations and consolidate sales and marketing operations under one
company. As of that date, SDI ceased to be an operating
company. We intend to dissolve SDI in 2009.
During
fiscal year 2007, we ceased promoting or devoting resources to OBS’ start-up
efforts to sell Chinese made roofing tiles in the United States. The
persistent downturn in the housing construction business through 2007 reduced,
in our opinion, the demand for such product. We also concluded that
our Capstone consumer products business was a more promising industry segment
for our limited resources.
Recent
Developments
: On December 1, 2007, Capstone and SDI entered into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “SDI Purchase Agreement”) with Magnet World,
Inc., a Florida corporation (“MWI”). Under the SDI Purchase
Agreement, the operating assets of SDI were sold to MWI for $200,000
cash. Capstone had been marketing and selling SDI’s line of
promotional, gift and souvenir products for most of fiscal year 2007. We decided
to sell SDI’s business in order to: (i) focus on our primary business line,
Capstone’s consumer products; (ii) eliminate a secondary business
that was not contributing positive cash flow on a consistent
basis and, constituted a drain on resources needed, for
the Capstone consumer product business line; and (iii)
to obtain cash to fund Capstone’s consumer product business,
especially the
STP
®
-branded
power tool product line introduced in October 2007. With
the sale of SDI’s assets, Capstone’s consumer product line became our sole
business line in 2008.
Industry
Background
We are
engaged in a highly competitive industry: the production through contract
manufacturers of and the marketing and sale of low-technology consumer products
through national and regional retailers and distributors. Our market
is the United States – although some of our retailers and distributors have
access to or market presence in Canada and Mexico. We face
competition from numerous competitors in the power tool, lighting and computer
peripheral product lines. We face competition from a limited number
of mostly small companies (like our own) in the portable and specialty lighting
business segment. The limited competition in the portable book lighting and
specialty lighting segment reflects that it is a relatively low margin business
with little appeal to larger companies. Some competitors are large consumer
product companies with substantially greater resources, market share, operating
history and brand recognition among consumers than we possess. Some
competitors are like us: small companies which rely on contract manufacturers in
China or elsewhere to produce price competitive and feature competitive
products. Like us, many of our competitors in the consumer product industry rely
on the engineering skills, manufacturing skills and production capacity of China
to produce their products on a competitive price basis.
Our larger
competitors have direct marketing and sales efforts, including e-commerce
capabilities and direct sales by telephone or mail advertising, that we cannot
afford to and do not, match or emulate in either scale or scope of
effort. While a consumer can purchase our products on-line through
various e-commerce Web Sites (like Amazon.com), or through the
e-commerce web sites of retailers that carry our products (like Target.com), we
do not have the same presence in e-commerce as our larger
competitors.
If we
could not access competent Chinese or other contract manufacturers to produce
our products, or if we could not effectively place our products with national
and regional retailers and distributors, we could not effectively compete in our
industry. We seek to guard against such a development by seeking
alternative contract manufacturing firms and seeking to expand our distribution
network in terms of number of retailers and distributors as well as the
geographical reach of that distribution network. We may seek a larger
presence in foreign markets in 2009 or 2010 by expanding the distribution
network to such foreign markets. Possible future foreign markets are
Mexico, Chile and Brazil (the stronger South American economies) as well as
United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Such foreign
expansion plans are in the planning process at this time and but we
have invested in a new senior sales position of Managing Director –
International whose role will be to implement the foreign market
expansion plan.
Marketing
Strategy
Our sales
and marketing efforts are conducted by employee sales persons and some contract
sales people and manufacturing representatives who use telephone pitches,
displays at industry trade shows and face-to-face marketing and sales efforts to
accomplish the following goals (listed in order of priority and strategic
importance): (1) induce national and regional retailers and distributors to
start to display or continuing to display at retail stores, and promote at such
retail stores and promote on related e-commerce web sites, our
products; (2) increase awareness of our product lines among national and
regional retailers and distributors and, to a lesser extent, among consumers;
and (3) expand our national and regional retailer and distributor network in
terms of number of retailers and distributors and in terms of geographical
reach. We do almost no general advertising or mail campaigns to
market and sell our products to consumers, retailers or distributors. We rely
heavily on retailers and distributors to promote our products to the
consumer.
Technology and Information:
We
do not believe that most of our products have or use any special or unique
proprietary technology. Most of our products use the same
industry-wide, non-proprietary features, functionality and technology as
competitor products. The exception is the
Personal Pocket Safe
, a
secure, portable, computer-readable personal information storage
device. The
Personal Pocket Safe
is,
however, a technology developed and owned by ExamSoft Worldwide, a
company partially owned by Stewart Wallach, but not a
subsidiary of our company. We are marketing and selling the
Personal Pocket Safe
under an
arrangement with ExamSoft Worldwide. ExamSoft Worldwide is
responsible for protecting any proprietary technology and intellectual property
rights of the
Personal Pocket
Safe
.
Security:
We believe the
principal security risks to our operations are unauthorized disclosure or theft
of our non-public information about our customers’ purchasing plans and
negotiations with us for future product sales and non-public product development
plans. We have established usual and customary facility and computer security
measures to protect such non-public information from unauthorized
use. We also require most of our senior operations officers and key
employees to sign confidentiality, non-compete and/or proprietary rights
protection agreements. We believe these security measures are sufficient to
protect our non-public information about our customers and product from
unauthorized use or disclosure.
Competition
: Like
most other low-technology consumer product companies, we believe that the
primary competitive factors in our industry are
well-designed, competitively priced products with features that are
most appealing to consumers and comparable to or better than the features of
competitors’ products. We also believe that our products having
visible and adequate shelf displays and promotion in retail stores is important
to our success.
We face
several large competitors in the power tool product line. Large
companies like Black & Decker, Ryobi, Panasonic, Porter & Cable,
Milwaukee Tool, Hitachi and Sears have far greater resources in marketing-sales,
product development, research and development, market share, consumer
recognition and consumer brand loyalty than our new STP-branded power tool
product line. If any one or more of these larger competitors targeted
our STP-branded power tool product line by undercutting our pricing for such
products, increasing their marketing and sales efforts and/or rebates
or sales incentives for their competing products sold in the principal retailers
displaying our STP-branded power tool and/or brought pressure on our principal
retailers to reduce the visibility or shelf space dedicated to our products by
providing more or better shelf space and displays for their products and/or
pressured or provided incentives for our distributors to promote their products
instead of our products, then we would be in all likelihood be unable to
successfully compete or survive such competitive pressure.
Most of
our competitors in the portable book and specialty light product line are small
companies like our own. We are confident of our ability to compete on
equal basis with such competition and, because this industry segment is low
profit margin and relatively small market potential, we do not believe that
large companies would enter this industry segment.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
. As a
public company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or “SOX,” which
implements a broad range of corporate governance and accounting measures for
public companies designed to reduce conflicts of interest, improve the accuracy
of financial reports and promote transparency in corporate operations in order
to better protect investors from corporate wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s
principal legislation and the derivative regulation and rule making promulgated
by the Securities Exchange Commission includes:
|
•
|
|
the
creation of an independent accounting oversight
board;
|
|
•
|
|
auditor
independence provisions which restrict non-audit services that accountants
may provide to their audit clients;
|
|
•
|
|
additional
corporate governance and responsibility measures, including the
requirement that the chief executive officer and chief financial officer
certify financial statements;
|
|
•
|
|
a
requirement that companies establish and maintain a system of internal
control over financial reporting and that a company’s management provide
an annual report regarding its assessment of the effectiveness of such
internal control over financial reporting to the company’s independent
accountants and that such accountants provide an attestation report with
respect to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s
internal control over financial
reporting;
|
|
•
|
|
an
increase in the oversight of, and enhancement of certain requirements
relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact
with the company’s independent
auditors;
|
|
•
|
|
a
requirement that audit committee members must be independent and are
absolutely barred from accepting consulting, advisory or other
compensatory fees from the issuer;
|
|
•
|
|
a
requirement that companies disclose whether at least one member of the
committee is a “financial expert” (as such term is defined by the SEC) and
if not, why not;
|
|
•
|
|
expanded
disclosure requirements for corporate insiders, including accelerated
reporting of stock transactions by insiders and a prohibition on insider
trading during pension blackout
periods;
|
|
•
|
|
a
prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers, except certain
loans made by insured financial
institutions;
|
|
•
|
|
disclosure
of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such
code;
|
|
•
|
|
mandatory
disclosure by analysts of potential conflicts of interest;
and
|
|
•
|
|
a
range of enhanced penalties for fraud and other
violations.

Governmental Regulation:
We
are subject to regulation by federal, state and local governments that affect
our products. Generally, these regulations are product safety laws and
regulations designed to protect consumers from faulty products and personal
injury and are not designed to protect our shareholders. Since our
products are made by Chinese contract manufacturers, we face possible exposure
to the affects of international trade laws and regulations, foreign currency
fluctuations and possible changes in Chinese trade or commerce laws and
regulations. Terrorism and political and military tension between the
United States and China over Taiwan or U.S. presence in the Far East may also
impact on our ability to receive products from our Chinese contract
manufacturers. None of these factors have adversely impacted on
our ability to obtain products from our Chinese contract manufacturers to
date.
We have
established various procedures designed to comply, and we continue to monitor
and evaluate our business methods and procedures to ensure compliance, with the
USA Patriot Act.
Federal
Securities Laws. We have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, for the registration of the shares of common stock to be issued
pursuant to the rights offering. Our Common Stock is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. We are subject to the information, proxy
solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Country
Risks
. Almost all of our contract manufacturing operations and
sources of products are located in China. We are dependent on China
for almost all of the design and production of our consumer
products. As such, we are subject to significant risks not typically
faced by companies operating in or obtaining products from North America and
Western Europe manufacturing sources. Political, economic
and trade conflicts between the United States
and China, including possible conflict over North Korea’s
nuclear weapons program or the independence of
Taiwan, could severely hinder the ability of CHDT to
obtain products and fill customer orders from our current
Chinese manufacturing sources. Further, Chinese commercial
law is still evolving to accommodate increasing
capitalism in Chinese society, especially in terms of
commercial relationships and dealings with foreign
companies, and can be unpredictable in application or
principal. The same unpredictability exists with respect to the
central Chinese government, which can unilaterally and without prior warning
impose new legal, economic and commercial laws, policies and
procedures. This element of unpredictability heightens the risk
of doing business in China. While dramatic anti-trade shit in Chinese
policy or laws would seem to be clearly against the best interests of China and
its current economic trends, China has a central government with the authority
to make such changes.
China has been under international
pressure to value its currency in a manner that would increase the value of
Chinese currency in respect of other world currencies and thereby increase the
cost of Chinese goods in the world market. Such a revaluation of
Chinese currency could adversely impact business by increasing costs to
consumers, but this cost impact would also affect our competitors with products
produced in China. China adopted a 2% revaluation of its currency in
2005 and the U.S. Dollar declined slightly in response to this
revaluation. While under international pressure to value the Chinese
currency in a manner that more realistically reflects the strength and value of
the Chinese currency, China may continue to keep Chinese currency at a level
that some regard as below its perceived, true value
.
Employees.
As of
April 3, 2009, we had a total of nine full-time employees, consisting of four
officers employed by CHDT and 5 persons employed by
Capstone.
BBI uses the personnel of
Capstone to conduct its business.
DESCRIPTION
OF PROPERTY
Our
principal executive headquarters and sole business and operations office is at
350 Jim Moran Blvd., Suite 120, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442, located in
Broward County. Our corporate telephone number is (954)
252-3440.
On June
29, 2007, the Company relocated its principal executive offices and sole
operations facility to 350 Jim Moran Blvd., Suite 120, Deerfield Beach, Florida
33442, from another site in Broward County, Florida. This space
consists of 4,000 square rentable feet and is leased on a month-to-month
basis. Month payments are approximately $4,250 per month. Rental
expense under these leases was approximately $51,809 and $36,503 for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We do not
own any real property.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Other than
as set forth below, we are not a party to any material
pending legal proceedings and, to
the best our knowledge, no such
action by or against us has been threatened. From time to
time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in
the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse
decisions or settlements may occur in such routine lawsuits, we
believe that the final disposition of such routine lawsuits will not
have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or
status as a going concern.
CELESTE TRUST REG., ESQUIRE TRADE,
ET AL. V. CBQ, INC
. (Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Case #07-1701-CV,
April 2007; Lower Court Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court, SDNY,
12/4/2003): Both the initial and amended complaint of the
plaintiffs in this case against us were dismissed by the trial court upon our
motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs perfected their appeal of the
dismissal of the amended complaint and their appeal is currently pending before
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. CHDT is uncertain when or
how the Second Circuit will rule on the plaintiffs’ appeal. CHDT has
moved that the Second Circuit to make a ruling on the briefs without oral
arguments, but CHDT believes that the plaintiffs have requested oral
arguments. There has been no ruling to date on the overall appeal or
CHDT’s motion for a ruling based solely on the written appeal briefs submitted
to date.
This
action was brought by certain debenture holders of Socrates Technologies
Corporation (“STC”), a defunct Delaware corporation, against us for allegedly
purchasing certain operating assets of STC’s subsidiaries in March 2001, which
assets were allegedly pledged as collateral for the STC debentures held by the
plaintiffs. Plaintiffs alleged that the acquisition of the STC
subsidiary operating assets violated the STC debentures’ terms. Plaintiffs were
seeking the value of the transferred assets.
After the
dismissal of the amended complaint of the plaintiffs against us by the trial
court, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the
plaintiffs attempted to appeal the dismissal of the amended
complaint. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit refused
to accept the appeal because there was an unresolved motion for default judgment
against the other non-CHDT defendants before the trial court.
The Second
Circuit originally informed plaintiff/appellant (by counsel) that their appeal
in 2006 was premature due to the fact that there were two other non-CHDT
defendants who had never been served. Subsequently, plaintiffs’ counsel sent a
letter, dated March 26, 2007, to the trial judge asking that defendants
Networkland, Inc. and Technet be dismissed since neither company had answered
the complaint and they both appeared to be terminated corporations. The trial
court sent the record up on appeal on July 13, 2007, and then the parties
proceeded with the appellate briefing schedule as established by the Second
Circuit on June 29, 2007. On appeal, the case caption was changed to
Esquire Trade & Finance, Inc.
and Investcor, LLC v. CBQ, Inc.
This
appeal has been fully briefed with appellants filing its brief on August 22,
2007 and CHDT’s counsel filing a responsive brief on September 21,
2007. In November 2007, CHDT’s counsel filed a
motion asking the Second Circuit to dispense with oral
arguments and rule on the pleadings. Appellant has asked for oral arguments. Our
understanding is that all motions have been forwarded to the appeal panel of
judges who will rule on the appeal. The Second Circuit has
neither ruled on the motions or set a date for oral arguments, but
could do so at any time.
The New
York office of Dorsey & Whitney, LLP, a national law firm, replaced Kalbian
Hagerty, LLP as CHDT’s legal counsel of record in this case in
2008. Kalbian Hagerty, LLP withdrawn as legal counsel for CHDT in
this matter.
Bart
Fisher, a former member of CHDT management and a current beneficial owner of
CHDT Common Stock (see: “Beneficial Owners” at page 55), has been paying for the
legal costs of defending CHDT in this case. He has done so as part of
an oral agreement with CHDT concerning pre-2003 liabilities of
CHDT. CHDT expects to be responsible, in whole or in
part, for any legal fees incurred after July 18, 2008.
An adverse
judgment in this lawsuit against us, if not overturn on appeal or settled on
reasonable terms by the parties, would have potentially ruinous impact on our
ability to effectively pursue our business plan and to achieve our business
goals. We, however, intend to vigorously appeal any adverse ruling by
the Second Circuit.
CPS
(Complete Power Solutions,
LLC
): As part of the January 26
,
2007
Purchase and Settlement Agreement between CPS, CHDT and other parties, CPS
issued of a promissory note to us in the principal amount
of $225,560, bearing annual interest at 7% with
interest-only payments commencing on July 1, 2007 and
thereafter being paid quarterly on October 1
st
,
January 1
st
, April
1
st
and July1
st
until
the principal and all unpaid interest thereon
shall become due and payable on the maturity date, being January 26,
2010, (the "2007 Promissory Note"). The 2007 Promissory Note provides
that if principal and accrued interest thereon is not paid in full by the
maturity date, then 2007 Promissory Note's
maturity date will be roll over
for successive one year periods until paid in
full. For any roll over period, the annual interest will
be increased to 12%. CPS is also indebted to us under a second promissory note
in the original principal amount
of $250,000, executed by Dato on June 27, 2006
and payable to us, bearing interest at 7% per annum and
maturing on June 30, 2007, subject
to extension (the
"2006 Promissory Note") and subject to offset by (i)
$41,600 owed by an affiliate of CHDT to the CPS for funds
advanced by CPS for portable generators which
were never delivered and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount
paid to compensate CPS for refunds required to be made to clients of CPS for
cancelled sales made personally by
Howard Ullman (which amounts have
been applied first to accrued and
unpaid interest due September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2006 and then applied to quarterly interest payable on the principal of the 2006
Note to maturity (June 30, 2007), and then to reduce the
principal amount of the 2006 Promissory Note to
$210,900). CPS have failed in their responsibility to pay interest
and principal payments and laid out in both notes and agreement. As a result we
have been forced to take legal action to collect all outstanding amounts
including full payment of principals.
On March
10
th
, 2008
we were granted a Final Summary judgment against CPS (Case # CACE07-19082(25)
17
th
Judicial Court, Broward County, Florida) for the following amounts June note
$238,748.90 and January note $262,990.88 for a total of $501,739.78. We
aggressively pursued collection of this judgment but have now deemed this is
uncollectable..
Potential Legal
Proceedings
. CYBERQUEST, INC
.: We
received a written claim from certain former shareholders of
Cyberquest, Inc., a former, but now defunct, subsidiary of our
company, in the summer of calendar year 2006. They
claimed to hold or own
approximately 70,000 shares of our Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) issued in our
1998 acquisition of Cyberquest, Ltd. Cyberquest, Ltd. ceased
operations in the late 2000 to early 2001 period. We have
investigated these claims and has not been able to date
to substantiate their ownership of said preferred stock to
date and the claimants have not pursued their claims beyond the initial
communication and a brief discussion of their claim with one of our outside
legal counsels in 2006. Without evidence of the claimants’ ownership, we have
elected not to include their claimed ownership in any of our financial
statements or shareholder records.
Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) has the following
terms: (a) no dividend rights; (b) Convertible into common
stock at a rate pf 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A
Stock; (c) we have the following elective and cumulative redemption
right: (1) from and after November 19, 1998, and up to and including
November 18, 1999, the Company may redeem, at any time and from time
to time, all or any portion of up to
7,000 preferred shares at a price of
$10 per share; (2) from and after November 19,
1999, and up to and including November 18, 2000, we may
redeem, at any time and from time
to time, all or any portion of (y)

|
Common
Provisions in All Three Employment Agreements: The following
provisions are contained in each of the above employment
agreements:
* If
the officer’s employment is terminated by death or disability, the Company is
obligated to pay to the officer or his estate, as the case may be, the following
lump sum payment: (a) one year of base salary (at the then current
rate), (b) the bonus paid in the previous year to the officer; and (c) the
amount of officer’s health and dental insurance premiums for the previous year.
If the employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for “good
reason” (as defined in the employment agreement) by the officer then the Company
must pay the following lump-sum amount to the officer: (aa) the then
current annual salary; (bb) the amount of the previous year’s
bonus; and (cc) the aggregate annual salary and aggregate bonus
payable for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement, and the
Company shall continue his health and dental insurance coverage for 18 months
after the end of his employment (either by reimbursement of COBRA payments made
by him or by paying such premiums for the executive).
* The
employment agreement has a three-year term (from February 5 2008 until February
5, 2011), which can be extended by mutual consent of the parties for up to three
(3) additional years. The employment agreement has anti-competition provision
for 18 months after the end of employment.
The above
summary of the employment agreements is qualified by reference to the actual
employment agreements, which are filed as exhibits to the Form 10-KSB by the
Company for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (as filed by the Company with
the SEC on March 31, 2008).
On June 2,
2008, Stewart Wallach, CHDT Corporation (“CHDT”) Chief Executive Officer and
President, and Howard Ullman, CHDT Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered
into and consummated a written agreement (“Agreement”) whereby: (a) Mr. Wallach
formally executed his March 23, 2008 commitment to the CHDT Board of Directors
to voluntarily cancel his non-qualified stock option for 74,666,667 million
shares of CHDT Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Common Stock”), leaving
27,733,333 shares available under that option for purchase by Mr. Wallach at
$0.029 per share, and (b) Mr. Wallach purchased 35,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and approximately 939,000 shares of CHDT Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, $0.10 par value, (“Series B Stock”) from Mr. Ullman. The per
share purchase price for the shares was $0.0025 for the Common Stock and $0.165
for the Series B Stock, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$242,435 (“Aggregate Purchase Price”). The Aggregate
Purchase Price was paid by a five-year promissory note issued by Mr. Wallach to
Mr. Ullman. The Note bears interest at five percent per annum and
provides for payment of principal and interest in five equal annual
installments, each payable on the first annual anniversary of the date of the
Note with the first installment due June 2, 2009. Mr. Wallach may pay
such sums with shares of CHDT capital stock that he beneficially
own.
Mr.
Wallach consented to the termination of the 74,666,667 stock option shares on
May 23, 2008, subject to the conditions of the Agreement (including signing and
closing of the Agreement on June 2, 2008). That consent is
memorialized in the Agreement and subject to the signing and closing of the
Agreement on June 2, 2008. As a result of the termination of the
74,666,667 stock option shares, the Company is eliminating the incentive
compensation expense for all terminated option shares from May 24, 2008, which
have not be expensed in CHDT’s historical financial statements as filed with the
SEC. The incentive compensation expense eliminated by the termination
of the 74,666,667 stock option shares by Mr. Wallach is estimated to be as
follows: (a) $345,028 in incentive compensation expenses in FY 2008 and (b) an
aggregate total of $1,725,137 in incentive compensation expenses for FY2008
through FY 20011 (the expense elimination for FY2008 is included in the amount
of the total expense elimination for FY2008 through FY20011).
The sale

Compensation
of Directors
Currently,
our employee directors receive no compensation for services as a
director. Non-employee directors are granted stock and/or options,
either under the 2005 Equity Plan or outside of that plan, as determined by the
CHDT Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of CHDT Board of
Directors each year. The determination of compensation for
non-employee directors is made on an annual assessment of their efforts and
duties as a director. There is no established arrangement for
specific or set compensation for non-employee directors.
For
director services rendered in fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the following
non-employee directors received the stated compensation: Jeffrey Guzy received a
stock grant of 500,000 shares of Common Stock; Jeff Postal received a stock
grant of 500,000 shares of Common Stock, Larry Sloven received a stock grant of
500,000 shares of Common Stock, Laurie Holtz received a stock grant
of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.029 per

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS
On June 2,
2008, Stewart Wallach, CHDT Corporation (“CHDT”) Chief Executive Officer and
President, and Howard Ullman, CHDT Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered
into and consummated a written agreement (“Agreement”) whereby: (a) Mr. Wallach
formally executed his May 23, 2008 commitment to the CHDT Board of Directors to
voluntarily cancel his non-qualified stock option for 74,666,667 million shares
of CHDT Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Common Stock”), leaving 27,733,333
million shares available under that option for purchase by Mr. Wallach at $0.029
per share, and (b) Mr. Wallach purchased 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
approximately 939,000 shares of CHDT Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.10
par value, (“Series B Stock”) from Mr. Ullman. The per share purchase
price for the shares was $0.0025 for the Common Stock and $0.165 for the Series
B Stock, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$242,435 (“Aggregate Purchase Price”). The Aggregate
Purchase Price was paid by a five-year promissory note issued by Mr. Wallach to
Mr. Ullman. The Note bears interest at five percent per annum and
provides for payment of principal and interest in five equal annual
installments, each payable on the first annual anniversary of the date of the
Note with the first installment due June 2, 2009. Mr. Wallach may pay
such sums with shares of CHDT capital stock that he beneficially
own.
Mr.
Wallach consented to the termination of the 74,666,667 stock option shares on
May 23, 2008, subject to the conditions of the Agreement (including signing and
closing of the Agreement on June 2, 2008). That consent is
memorialized in the Agreement and subject to the signing and closing of the
Agreement on June 2, 2008. As a result of the termination of the
74,666,667 stock option shares, the Company is eliminating the incentive
compensation expense for all terminated option shares from May 24, 2008, which
have not be expensed in CHDT’s historical financial statements as filed with the
SEC. The incentive compensation expense eliminated by the termination
of the 74,666,667 stock option shares by Mr. Wallach is estimated to be as
follows: (a) $345,028 in incentive compensation expenses in FY 2008 and (b) an
aggregate total of $1,725,137 in incentive compensation expenses for fiscal year
2008 through fiscal year 20011 (the expense elimination for fiscal year 2008 is
included in the amount of the total expense elimination for fiscal year 2008
through fiscal year 20011).
The sale
of Series B Stock leaves Mr. Ullman with total ownership of 914,813 shares of
Series B Stock (43% of the outstanding shares) and total ownership of
148,869,536 shares of Common Stock (27% of the outstanding shares) and provides
Mr. Wallach with total ownership of 65,157,295 shares of Common Stock (12% of
the outstanding shares) and 939,000 shares of Series B Stock (44% of the
outstanding shares). The Series B Stock is convertible into shares of
Common Stock at 66 2/3 to 1 ratio. Mr. Wallach continues to have a non-qualified
stock option for 27,733,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.029 per share. Outstanding shares of the Series B Stock is
2,108,813 and outstanding shares of the Common Stock is
560,041,646.
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Pursuant
to Florida law, CHDT has the power to indemnify any person who was or
is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the
corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against
liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal
thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or
her conduct was unlawful.
As to
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act for directors,
officers or persons controlling CHDT, we have been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and unenforceable
.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We will
receive proceeds from the resale of CHDT Corporation shares offered by this
prospectus.
DILUTION
Dilution to new
investors
We have a
net tangible book value of ($434,576) or ($0.000776) per share. Pro
Forma net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets
less our total liabilities divided by the number of shares of our common stock
outstanding.
Pro forma
net tangible book value dilution per share represents the difference between the
amount paid per share by purchasers of common stock in this offering and the pro
forma net tangible book value per share of common stock as adjusted to give
effect to this offering. If all 35,000,000 unissued shares are sold,
there would be a total of 595,041,646 shares issued and
outstanding. If the maximum 35,000,000 shares are issued, the net
proceeds to us would be $350,000. After deducting offering costs of
$9,647, net tangible book value would be ($94,223). Dividing our net
worth by the number of shares outstanding discloses a per share book value of
approximately ($0.000158) per share. Therefore, the shareholders who
are issued shares for services pursuant to the offering will suffer an immediate
dilution in the book value of their shares of approximately $0.010158, or
approximately 101.58% and the present shareholders will receive an immediate
book value increase of approximately $0.000618 per share.
The
following table sets forth information on dilution to new shareholders presuming
100% of the offering is issued (maximum) and presuming 50% of the offering is

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are
registering the shares offered by this prospectus on behalf of the selling
shareholders. The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their shares at
prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The shares
may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling shareholders or by
pledgees, donees or transferees of, or successors-in interest-to, the selling
shareholders (all of whom together shall be deemed to be “selling shareholders”
under this prospectus), directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees)
or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices
prevailing at the time of such sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, or at negotiated prices, any which may be changed. The selling
shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of
shares or interests therein:
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions
|
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or
otherwise
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share,
and
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of
sale.
|
From time
to time, the selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in
some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in
the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties
may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this
prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling
shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest
as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may
transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the
transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In
connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling
shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the common stock
offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or
commissions, if any. Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to
accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or
in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through
agents. We will not receive any proceeds directly from this
offering.
The
selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in
open-market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that
rule.
The
selling shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale
of the shares offered hereby might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by
such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them
while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions under the Securities Act.
To the
extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the
selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices,
the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or
discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an
accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that includes this
prospectus.
In order
to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common
stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold
unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from
registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied
with.
We have
advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation
M under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of shares in
the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their
affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be
supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders
for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus-delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.
DESCRIPTION

and such other agreements, copies of which are available as set forth under
“Where You Can Find More Information.”

Common
Stock

the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock,
holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and
other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by

Series B
Stock may be issued in fractional shares, which fractional shares shall entitle
the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional share, to all
rights of a holder of a whole share of this Series B Stock. The holders of full
or fractional shares of the Series B
Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends or other
distributions.
Each share
of the Series B Stock issued and outstanding may be
converted into 66.66 shares of Common Stock by the
holder thereof upon written demand to CHDT and upon compliance with
any reasonable administrative requirements for such conversion of the
Company.
In
the event of
any merger, consolidation, reclassification or
other transaction in which the shares of
Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into
other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in
any such case the shares of this Series B Stock shall at deemed to
have been converted into shares of Common Stock at
the conversion ratio of one share of the Series B Stock
for 66.66 shares of the Common Stock and
such conversion shall be consummated prior to
the record date for holders of the shares of Common Stock for any
such Merger, consolidation, reclassification or other transaction in which the
shares of
the Common Stock are exchanged for and changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property.
In the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of CHDT, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders
of full and fractional shares of this Series B
Stock shall be entitled, before any
distribution or payment is made on any date to the holders of the
Common Stock, but after all distributions are made in full
to all other series of issued and Outstanding shares of
preferred stock, to be paid in full an amount per whole
share of the Series B Stock equal to $1.00
(the "Liquidation Preference"), together with
accrued dividends to such distribution or
payment date, whether or not earned or
declared. If such payment shall have been made in full to all
holders of shares of the Series B
Stock, the holders of shares of this Series as
such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of CHDT. In the
event the assets of CHDT available for distribution to the holders of shares of
the Series B Stock upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
CHDT, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
insufficient to pay in full all amounts to
which such holders are entitled pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section (v), no such distribution shall
be made on account of any shares of any other class or series of
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the shares of
this Series upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless
proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of
this Series, ratably in proportion to the
full distributable, amounts for which holders
of all such parity shares
are respectively entitled upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CHDT, the holders of shares
of the Series B Stock then outstanding shall be entitled
to be paid out
of assets of CHDT available for distribution to
its shareholders all amounts to which
such holders are entitled pursuant to the
first paragraph this section before
any payment shall be made to the holders of
Common Stock or any other stock of
CHDT ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series B
Stock.
The
consolidation or merger of, or binding share exchange
by, CHDT with any other corporation shall not
be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the corporation.
The Series
B Stock shall rank junior to all other series or classes of Preferred Stock of
CHDT, now existing or hereafter created, as to
payment of dividends and the distribution of
assets, unless the terms of any such other series or class shall
provide otherwise.
Series B
Stock shall have no voting rights unless
applicable law requires otherwise.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
CHDT
Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHDT Corporation and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CHDT Corporation and Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of accounting policies for CHDT Corporation, a Florida corporation
(formerly, “China Direct Trading Corporation”) (“Company” or “CHDT”) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”) is presented to assist in
understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the financial statements. CHDT changed
its name to “CHDT Corporation” by amending its Articles of Incorporation, which
name change was effective July 16, 2007 in respect of NASD Regulation, Inc. and
OTC Bulletin Board approval of the name change, the trading symbol change from
“CHDT.OB” to “CHDO.OB” and change in CUSIP Number for CHDT Common Stock and
effective May 7, 2007 in terms of approval by the State of Florida of the
charter amendment.
Organization
and Basis of Presentation
CHDT was
initially incorporated September 18, 1986 under the laws of the State of
Delaware under the name "Yorkshire Leveraged Group, Incorporated", and then
changed its domicile situs to Colorado in 1989 by merging into a Colorado
corporation, named "Freedom Funding, Inc." Freedom Funding, Inc. then changed
its name to "CBQ, Inc." by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation on
November 25, 1998. In May 2004, the Company changed its name from “CBQ, Inc.” to
“China Direct Trading Corporation” as part of a reincorporation from the State
of Colorado to the State of Florida. Effective May 7, 2007, the
Company amended its charter to change its name from “China Direct Trading
Corporation” to “CHDT Corporation.” This name change was effective as
of July 16, 2007 for purposes of the change of its name on the OTC Bulletin
Board.
Souvenir
Direct, Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 2002 under the laws of the State
of Florida. Souvenir Direct, Inc. operations were transferred to
Capstone Industries, Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and Souvenir
Direct, Inc.’s operating assets were sold on December 1, 2007 to an unaffiliated
buyer.
On
December 1, 2003, CHDT issued 97 million shares common stock to acquire 100% of
the outstanding common stock of Souvenir Direct, Inc. in a reverse acquisition.
At this time, a new reporting entity was created. Souvenir Direct, Inc. is
considered the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes. Also on
December 1, 2003, an additional 414,628,300 shares of common stock were issued
to the previous owners of the Company.
In
February 2004, the Company established a new subsidiary, initially named “China
Pathfinder Fund, L.L.C.”, a Florida limited liability company. During 2005, the
name was changed to “Overseas Building Supply, LLC” to reflect its shift in
business lines from business development consulting services in China for North
American companies to trading Chinese-made building supplies in South
Florida. This business line was ended in fiscal year 2007 and OBS’
name was changed to “Black Box Innovations, L.L.C.” (“BBI”) on March 20,
2008.
On January
27, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Complete Power
Solutions ("CPS") to acquire 51% of the member interests of CPS. CPS was
organized by William Dato on September 20, 2004, as a Florida limited liability
company to distribute power generators in Florida and adjacent
states. The Company subsequently sold its 51% membership interest in
CPS, pursuant to a Purchase and Settlement Agreement dated and effective as of
December 31, 2006.

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
On
September 13, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (Capstone). Capstone was
incorporated in Florida on May 15, 1996 and is engaged primarily in the business
of wholesaling low technology consumer products to distributors and
retailers in the United States.
Nature
of Business
From the
beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company has been primarily engaged in the
business of marketing and selling consumer products through national and
regional retailers and distributors, in North America. Capstone
currently operates in four primary business segments: Lighting Products, , Power
Tools, Automotive Accessories and Computer peripherals. The Company’s products
are typically manufactured in the Peoples’ Republic of China by
third-party manufacturing companies.
During the
period that the Company owned a 51% interest in CPS (January 27, 2006 through
December 31, 2006), the Company, through CPS, engaged in the business of selling
and installing standby commercial and residential power generators in South
Florida and, to a lesser extent, in adjacent states.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents, to the extent the funds are not
being held for investment purposes.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
An
allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. The
allowance for bad debt is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the
receivables. This evaluation in inherently subjective and requires
estimated that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information
becomes available.
As of
December 31, 2008, management has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$67,433. Net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 was
$2,399,859.
Inventory
The
Company's inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market, consists of finished goods for resale by Capstone,
totaling $387,749 at December 31, 2008.
BBI
(previously “Overseas Building Supply, L.C.”) had inventory of $40,441 at
December 31, 2007. During 2008, a director and shareholder of the
Company took the remaining inventory of BBI and agreed to pay the Company for
the cost of the inventory, which was $40,441. As a result, the
inventory was removed from the balance sheet as an asset, and a shareholder
receivable was recorded and disclosed in the equity section of the balance
sheet.
Property
and Equipment
Fixed
assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight- line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related
assets as follows:

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The
Company follows FASB Statement No. 144 (SFAS 144), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be
held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.
When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized
based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if
any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell. No impairments were recognized by the Company during 2007
and 2008.
Upon sale
or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in the determination of income or loss.
Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls
and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic
useful lives.
Depreciation
expense was $111,989 and $38,583 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded under the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.142
(SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires that an
intangible asset that is acquired either individually or with a group of other
assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) shall be initially
recognized and measured based on its fair value. Goodwill acquired in
business combinations is initially computed as the amount paid by the acquiring
company in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired.
Costs of
internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets (including
goodwill) that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives,
or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a
whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.
An
intangible asset (excluding goodwill) with a definite useful life is amortized;
an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its
useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives
of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to
determine whether events and circumstance continue to support an indefinite
useful life. If and when an intangible asset is determined to no longer have an
indefinite useful life, the asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its
estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other
intangibles that are subject to amortization.
An
intangible asset (including goodwill) that is not subject to amortization shall
be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test
consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets with its
carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair
value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized.
It is the
Company's policy to test for impairment no less than annually, or when
conditions occur that may indicate an impairment. The Company's intangible
assets, which consist of goodwill of $1,936,020 recorded in connection with the
Capstone acquisition, were tested for impairment and determined that no
adjustment for impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2008, whereas the
fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount.

Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic
earnings per common share were computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share for the
nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are not presented as it would be
anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the total number of
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was 203,295,071 and 134,442,294,
respectively.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
include the accounts of the parent entity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
Souvenir Direct, Inc., Black Box Innovations, L.L.C. (formerly “Overseas
Building Supply, LLC” and formerly “China Pathfinder Fund, LLC”), and Capstone
Industries, Inc.
The
results of operations attributable to Capstone are included in the consolidated
results of operating beginning on September 13, 2006, the date on which the
Company’s interest in Capstone was acquired.
The
results of operations attributable to the Company’s interest in its former
subsidiary, CPS, for the period of time in which majority interest in CPS was
held by the Company (January 27, 2006 through December 31, 2006) are included in
the loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of income
(loss). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2008
approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial
instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made in the 2007 financial statements to conform
with the 2008 presentation. There were no material changes in classifications
made to previously issued financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
Product
Sales are recognized when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has
occurred, pricing is final or determinable, and collection is reasonably
assured.
Allowances
for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a component of net
sales in the period the allowances are recognized. In addition,
accrued liabilities contained in the accompanying balance sheet include accruals
for estimated amounts of credits to be issued in future years based on
potentially defective product, other product returns and various
allowances. These estimates could change significantly in the near
term.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes." SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted
tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries intend to file
consolidated income tax returns
Stock-Based
Compensation
On January
1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(Revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, SFAS 123(R), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based
on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous
accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations, applied for
periods through December 31, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS
123(R). The Company has applied the provision of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123(R).
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application
transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as
of January 1, 2006, the first date of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006
reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective
method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS
123(R).
CHDT
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE

(continued)
SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expenses over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated
statements of income (loss). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB 25, as allowed under SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123). Under the intrinsic value
method, compensation expense under fixed term option plans was recorded at the
date of grant only to the extent that the market value of the underlying stock
at the date of grant exceeded the exercise price. Accordingly, for those stock
options granted for which the exercise price equaled the fair market value of
the underlying stock at the date of grant, no expense was recorded.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the
portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during
the period. There was no stock-based compensation expense attributable to
options for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for compensation expense
for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not vested as of December
31, 2005. Such stock-based compensation is based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123.
Compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted subsequent to
December 31, 2005 are based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
In
conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company adopted the
straight-line single option method of attributing the value of stock-based
compensation expense. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized during
the period is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is subject to
reduction for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be
estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods
if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, there were no material amounts subject to forfeiture. The
Company has not accelerated vesting terms of its out-of-the-money stock options,
or made any other significant changes, prior to adopting FASB 123(R),
Share-Based Payments.
On April
23, 2007, the Company granted 130,500,000 stock options to two officers of the
Company. The options vest at twenty percent per year beginning April
23, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company
recognized compensation expense of $503,075 related to these options. On May 1,
2008, 850,000 of the above stock options were canceled and on May 23, 2008,
74,666,667 of the above stock options were cancelled. For year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $405,198
related to these options.
On May 1,
2007, the Company granted 4,000,000 stock options to five employees of the
Company. The options vest over two years. For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$29,214 related to these options. During 2008, 1,000,000 of the
above options were cancelled prior to vesting. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $25,131
related to these options.
On October
22, 2007, the Company granted 700,000 stock options to a business associate of
the Company. The options vest over two years. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,330
related to these options. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $7,978 related to these
options.

On January
10, 2008, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options to an advisor of the
Company. The options vest over one year. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $19,953
related to these options.
On
February 5, 2008, the Company granted 3,650,000 stock options to four directors
and one employee of the Company. The options vest over two
years. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $59,619 related to these options.
On May 1,
2008, the Company granted 850,000 stock options to an employee of the
Company. The options vest over two years. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $5,242
related to these options.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense paid with common stock and other equity
instruments issued for assets and services received based upon the fair value of
the assets/services or the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily
determined.
As of the
date of this report the Company has not adopted a method to account for the tax
effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R) and related
interpretations. However, whereas the Company has substantial net operating
losses to offset future taxable income and its current deferred tax asset is
completely reduced by the valuation allowance, no material tax effects are
anticipated.
During the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company valued stock options using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. Since the exercise price
of stock options previously issued was greater than or equal to the market price
on grant date, no compensation expense was recognized.
Stock-Based
Compensation Expense
Stock-based
compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 included $2,500 for
consulting fees. Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended
December 31, 2007 included $112,000, consisting of $25,000 included in employee
compensation, $81,600 for consulting fees and $5,400 for legal
fees.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides
companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at
fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting
for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting
principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets
and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB has
indicated it believes that SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of
accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and
liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to
comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons
between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types
of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure
requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for
disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS 159 is effective
for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of this
pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends
ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently
evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS

statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and
measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also
requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be
expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations
occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require
the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in
fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not
permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this
statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. (“SFAS
161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's
derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of
financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does
not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial
adoption. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this
statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
Pervasiveness
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be
material.
NOTE
2 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The
Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such
as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging
arrangements.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company at times has cash and cash equivalents with its financial institution in
excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance
limits. The Company places in cash and cash equivalents with high
credit quality financial institution which minimize these risks. As
of December 31, 2007, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC limits of
approximately $140,000. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no
cash in excess of FDIC limits.

Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants credit to its customers, substantially all of whom are retail
establishments located throughout the United States. The Company
typically does not require collateral from customers. Credit risk is limited due
to the financial strength of the customers comprising the Company’s customer
base and their dispersion across different geographical regions. The
Company monitors exposure of credit losses and maintains allowances for
anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances.
Major
Customers
The
Company had three customers who comprised at least ten percent (10%) of gross
revenue during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The
loss of these customers would adversely impact the business of the

Complete
Power Solutions
On January
27, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") with William Dato and Complete Power Solutions ("CPS") pursuant to
which the Company acquired 51% of the member interests of CPS owned by Mr. Dato
for a purchase price consisting of the payment of $637,000 in cash and the
delivery of 600,000 shares of Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series A Preferred Stock") having a stated value of $1,200,000, which
Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into 50,739,958 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at the demand of Mr. Dato. The cash paid in the transaction was
obtained from capital provided to the Company for use in connection with
acquisitions by Howard Ullman, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and
certain of our directors and principal shareholders.
On January
26, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and Settlement Agreement (the
"Settlement Agreement"), dated and effective as of December 31, 2006, with
William Dato and CPS whereby: (a) CPS repurchased the 51% membership interest
owned by China Direct in return for the transfer of the 600,000 shares of the
Company’s "Series A Preferred Stock”, which are convertible into 50,739,958
shares of the Company's common stock, and (b) the issuance of a promissory note
by CPS to CHDT for 225,560, bearing annual interest at 7% with interest-only
payments commencing on July 1, 2007 and thereafter being paid quarterly on April
1st, July 1st, October 1st, and January 1st until the principal and all unpaid
interest thereon shall become due and payable on the maturity date, being
January 6, 2010 (the “2007 Promissory Note”). The 2007 Promissory
Note also provides that the principal amount may be automatically increased by
an amount of up to $7,500 if the amount of a customer claim is settled for less
than $7,500. As of the date of this report the principal amount has not been
increased by an amount up to $7,500, as described above. The shares
were valued at $1,775,864 based on the market value of the common stock the
shares are convertible into.
As of
December 31, 2006, the balance due on the $225,560 was classified on the
Company’s balance sheet as an amount due from former subsidiary. This
item was classified as long-term as of December 31, 2006, in anticipation of its
conversion to a note receivable, the maturiy of which is more than one year from
the balance sheet date. Subsequently, upon execution of the 2007
Promissory Note on January 26, 2007, the Company reclassified the balance as a
long-term note receivable from former subsidiary.

CPS is
also indebted to CHDT under a promissory note in the original principal amount
of $250,000, executed by William Dato on June 27, 2006 and payable to CHDT,
bearing interest at 7% per annum and maturing on June 30, 2007, subject to
extension (the “2006 Promissory Note”) and subject to offset by (i) $41,600 owed
by an affiliate of CHDT to the CPS funds advanced by CPS for portable generators
that were never delivered and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount paid to
compensate CPS for certain refunds required to be made by CPS (which amounts
have been first applied to accrued and unpaid interest due September 30, 2006

principal of the 2006 Promissory Note to maturity (June 30, 2007) and then to
reduce the principal amount of the 2006 Promissory Note to
$210,900.
On March
10, 2008, the Company was granted a Final Summary judgment against CPS for
$501,740 related to the two notes due from CPS to the Company as part of the
disposal agreement entered into in January 2007. As of December
31, 2007, the Company determined these two notes to be uncollectible and
wrote-off $427,710 to expense. The Company has
pursued legal action to collect this judgment, but it is now
considered uncollectible.
The
Company disposed of its interest in CPS to further its goal of focusing on its
Capstone Industries consumer product business line in an effort to achieve
sustained profitability from low-coast, low inventory consumer products that are
direct shipped from Chinese and other low cost contract manufacturing sources to
the Company’s customers.

NOTE
11 - INCOME TAXES
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income
tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,900,000 that may be offset against
future taxable income through 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss
available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change
in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable
income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the
carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the
loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.

The
Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future
operations. When circumstances change and causes a change in
management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the
impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current
income.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.
48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained
upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48
did not have a material impact on the company’s condensed consolidated financial
position and results of operations. At January 1, 2008, the company had no
liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of
related interest.
Interest
costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense,
net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if
any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative
expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized
tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. In many
cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain
subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. With few exceptions, the
company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S.
income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following
describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31,
2008:

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES
CELESTE TRUST
REG., ESQUIRE TRADE, ET AL. V. CBQ, INC
.
(Second Circuit Court of
Appeals, Case #07-1701-CV, April 2007; Lower Court Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US
District Court, SDNY, 12/4/2003): Both the initial and amended complaint of the
plaintiffs in this case against us were dismissed by the trial court upon our
motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs perfected their appeal of the
dismissal of the amended complaint and the appeal was briefed in November
2007. The appeal is currently pending before the Second Circuit Court
of Appeals in New York City. CHDT is uncertain when or how the Second Circuit
will rule on the plaintiffs’ appeal. CHDT has moved that the Second
Circuit to make a ruling on the briefs without oral arguments, but CHDT believes
that the plaintiffs have requested oral arguments. There has been no
ruling to date on the overall appeal or CHDT’s motion for a ruling based solely
on the written appeal briefs submitted to date. While CHDT
intends to appeal any adverse ruling in this case by the Second Circuit, and
CHDT is confident of prevailing in this matter, if the plaintiffs ultimately
prevailed in this case and received their requested relief with no further right
of appeal by CHDT, the Company lacks the available funds or financing to pay
such relief and if a settlement was not possible, in the event of such an
adverse outcome, such an adverse judgment could not be paid from
available Company resources. The New York City office of Dorsey
& Whitney currently represents CHDT in this case.
This case
concerns a lawsuit that was filed against the Company by three Plaintiffs on or
about December 4, 2003, but which the Company did not receive notice of until
the week of February 18, 2004 or thereabouts. The Plaintiffs purchased
debentures issued by Socrates Technologies Corporation (STC), a public Delaware
corporation in 2000. When the Company purchased the assets of two STC
subsidiaries in March 2001, the Plaintiffs allege that the Company promised to
issue to the Plaintiffs and others the consideration that was to be paid to STC
for the acquired assets and to so do in order to compensate the plaintiffs for
their investment in the STC debentures, which were apparently in default at that
time. The total consideration paid for the STC subsidiaries' assets were 7.65
million shares of company Common Stock and a Promissory Note made by the Company
for $700,000 principal amount. The Company has defended against the Plaintiffs'
claims to date. If the Plaintiffs win a judgment on their claims, the judgment,
if collected, would prove potentially ruinous the Company, unless a settlement
involving no cash was arranged between the parties to the lawsuit. The
Plaintiff's claims include a claim for receipt of the money due under the
Promissory Note with a principal amount of $700,000. The Company lacks the cash
flow or cash reserves or funding resources to pay such a claim, either in a lump
sum or over time. If the Plaintiffs are awarded the claimed damages against the
Company in this lawsuit and the Company did not or could not appeal such an
award, then under such circumstances the Company would be unable to pay such
damages, either in a lump sum or under any short-term schedule, and would be
insolvent without an emergency infusion of capital from investors
.
Sun
Trust Bank Dispute. Sun Trust Bank line of credit and term note
Prior to
being acquired by CHDT, Quantum Technology Group had a $4 million line of credit
with Crestar Bank, which was subsequently acquired by Sun Trust. This line of
credit was guaranteed by Quantum and five individual guarantors, including Ray
Kostkowski, Anne Sigman, Skip Lewis, and Anthony Saunders. This line of credit
was opened during April, 2000. On August 8, 2000, the Company acquired all of
the shares of Quantum. Sun Trust asserted that $1.3 million of the line of
credit had been used, and was owing to Sun Trust, as well as line of credit, a
$200,000 term loan from Sun Trust to Quantum, approximately $200,000 in accrued
interest and $100,000 in attorney fees -- all of which SunTrust had sought to
collect from the individual guarantors. Sun Trust had not sued the Company and
has not raised its prior threat to sue since 2005.

NOTE
12 – CONTINGENCIES (continued)
RAS
Investment, Inc., a company affiliated with Anne Sigman, a former employee of
the Company, has advised the Company that RAS has acquired the Sun Trust note
and has demanded payment in cash or stock. As of the date of this Report, the
Company's position remains as before, that is, that the Company is not obligated
to pay the Sun Trust debts and any claims made to collect that debt could be
defeated by several potential defenses and counterclaims. CHDT has
not received any communication in this matter from RAS Investment, Inc. since
2006. The Company will aggressively defend against any effort to
assert any claim against CHDT based on the above credit line.
Potential
Litigation
Cyberquest,
Inc.
As
reported previously, the Company has received two claims from certain former
shareholders of Cyberquest, Inc. that they hold or own approximately 70,000
shares of a class of the Company's redeemable preferred stock that was issued in
the Company's 1998 acquisition of Cyberquest. Cyberquest ceased operations in
2000-2001 period. The Company has investigated these claims and has not been
able to date to fully substantiate any of the claims to date and the claimants
have not pursued their claims beyond an initial communication asserting
ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock.
The Company has not received any further claims or
communications since mid-2006.

14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant
to Florida law, CHDT has the power to indemnify any person who was or
is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the
corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against
liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal
thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or
her conduct was unlawful.
Our
By-Laws allow CHDT to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent
allowed under Florida law. CHDT has also entered into indemnification
agreements with our senior offices, Stewart Wallach, Gerry McClinton and Howard
Ullman, which indemnification agreements obligate CHDT to provide the fullest
level of indemnification and advancement of expenses in eligible proceedings to
these senior officers.
We have
directors and officers liability insurance in place for the benefit of our
directors and our executive officers.

Item
17. Undertakings.
(a) That,
for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b) The
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) to include any
additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution;
(2) that,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
and
(3) to
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly
caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Deerfield Beach, Florida on April 24,
