DESCRIPTION
OF GUANWEI’S BUSINESS
The
following is disclosure regarding the Company, including its wholly-owned and
sole operating subsidiary,
Guanwei, the principal business activities of which consist of the
manufacturing and sales of recycled plastic products.
General Business
Overview
Guanwei was founded in China in April
2005 with registered capital of RMB 10 million (approximately US$1.46
million). Since inception, it has been principally engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of low density polyethylene (“
LDPE
”), using
imported raw material in the form of plastic waste. On November 22, 2008,
Guanwei was acquired by Chenxin and became a wholly-owned by foreign investment
enterprise (“
WOFIE
”) under PRC
law. Guanwei is the sole operating subsidiary of Chenxin.
The Company is committed to sourcing
and developing innovative ideas and markets for recycled materials, and
concentrates on transforming plastic waste into useful plastic grains. Its
mission is to be an environmentally conscious, profitable manufacturer of the
plastics products of the highest quality. Guanwei procures raw material in the
form of unrecycled plastic waste from its suppliers and uses this material to
manufacture recycled plastic grains, which are then sold to manufacturers of
consumer products in various industries. The Company specializes in the
production of various recycled plastics products, the most of important of which
is LDPE. In the last four years, the Company has developed four distinct grades
of LPDE plastic grains, which are sold to clients to be manufactured into a
broad range of end products. The Company currently sells to over 200 customers
in more than 10 industries, ranging from food packaging, shoe manufacturing,
architecture and engineering, industrial equipment and supplies, and chemical
and petrochemical manufacturing. The Company’s LDPE products in particular are
widely used in the manufacturing of chemical and functional fibers, and is the
main raw material for shoe soles, insulation material, fire-proofing and
water-proofing material, and foam.
Market and
Industry
Since 2004, with national production
capacity exceeding 20 million tons, China has become the second largest plastics
products manufacturing country in the world after the United States, according
to the Plastic Industry Statistics & Research Report (2008). China’s
plastics industry has benefited greatly from its low production and labor costs,
as the manufacturing and recycling of plastics products have been outsourced
from higher-cost countries to China and other low-cost countries. The lower
production costs have allowed the plastics industry worldwide to experience
strong growth in sales over the last several years. In the US and Europe,
plastics industries have out-performed overall manufacturing industries and
are a strong force in international markets. According to the Plastic Industry
Statistics & Research Report (2008), the worldwide average annual growth
rate of the plastics industry from 1999 to 2005 was 5.02%, while the average GDP
growth rate for the same period was 2.43%. In China, plastic
consumption growth rate from 2001 to 2005 exceeded 19% annually, while the
Chinese GDP growth rate averaged 9.5% for the same period.
In particular, China’s plastics
industry experienced an annual growth rate of greater than 18% from 1990 to
2001, and in 2008 the growth rate was 11%. According to the Chinese national
plastic industry website, www.51pla.com, in 2007, 14,592 Chinese plastic
manufacturers realized a total profit of RMB 802 billion (US $110 billion), and
16,300 manufacturers realized a total profit of RMB 964 billion (US $141
billion) in 2008. China consumed more than 50 million tons of plastics in 2008,
24% of which was produced by recycled plastics. Industry projections
from the same website show that accelerating demand for plastic products will
push overall production in China to 40 million tons by 2010.
There are seven types of plastic
polymers, each with specific properties, which are used worldwide for various
packaging applications. Each group of plastic polymers can be identified by its
Plastic Identification Code (PIC), which is usually a number or a letter
abbreviation. The PIC appears inside a three-chasing arrow recycling symbol. The
symbol is used to indicate whether the plastic can be recycled into new
products. The PIC identification system was introduced by the Society of the
Plastics Industry, Inc., which provides a uniform system for the identification
of different polymer types and helps recycling companies to separate different
plastics for reprocessing. Manufacturers of plastic products are required to use
PIC labels in some countries/regions and can voluntarily mark their products
with the PIC where there are no requirements. Consumers can identify the plastic
types based on the codes usually found at the base or at the side of the plastic
products, including food/chemical packaging and containers.
The seven types of plastics polymers
used in packaging are listed in the chart below, along with a brief description
of the properties and common applications of each. A more detailed description
of each polymer type follows the chart.

Polyethylene
terephthalate (PET)
PET is
among the most-recycled polymers worldwide. Its barrier properties make it the
material of choice for mineral water and carbonated drink bottles, and it can be
recycled a number of times. The material is also used to make food trays, and is
commonly found as a laminate in films. A high proportion of mixed bottles,
typically PET combined with HDPE, are exported from China.
High-density
polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE is
most commonly used for milk containers. The Chinese government has
set a target that 50% of milk containers must be made of recycled materials by
2020, so the recycling rate of HDPE will likely increase. HDPE is also used for
bleach and other cleaning product containers, and is also found in films and
some thin-gauge carriers and fresh produce bags. As with PET, price is dictated
by quality and markets offer a wide range of prices according to the level of
purity of the polymer. HDPE is a versatile polymer that can be manipulated to
control transparency.
Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC)
PVC is a
popular polymer for a range of applications, including food packaging, where it
is found in some thermoformed trays. It is also used in the manufacture of
plastic wrapping film. PVC can contaminate some PET products, however, which
impedes the collection and thus the recycling of PET. Through the introduction
of reclamation facilities that focus solely on plastics and recycling plastic
products, more color and polymer separation is possible, which would help
develop the rates of recycling of all polymers, including PVC.
Low-density
polyethylene (LDPE)
LDPE is
used in food trays, but a more common application is in wrapping films and bags
because it is very flexible. It is easily cleaned, has strong impact resistance
and is unreactive at room temperature in the absence of a strong oxidizing
agent. LDPE can withstand moderately high temperatures, does not absorb moisture
and is chemical and corrosion resistant. LDPE’s tensile force is lower than that
of HDPE and its resilience is higher. The collection of LDPE is particularly
challenging given the relatively low-value of its end products, which can make
the recycling of LDPE less cost-efficient, so its recycling rates are lower than
other polymers.
Polypropylene
(PP)
PP
comprises a large proportion of mixed plastics products that are recycled for
collection, other than plastic bottles. PP is widely used in packaging in food
containers and trays, screw tops and as a film. It can be easily recovered and
recycled into a wide range of applications. Its recycling rates are
typically quite high.
Polystyrene
(PS)
PS is
found in yogurt containers and food trays, and in its expanded form, in
protective packaging and hot drinks cups. Research has shown that PS comprises a
small part of the waste stream, but as with other rigid packaging plastics, it
is likely to form part of future mixed plastics recycling trials, which focus on
new ways to recycle and to enhance the collection of recyclable
products.
Recycling
Awareness
There is a growing awareness in the
global economy about issues surrounding waste management, and recycling
processes and recycled products are being developed to address these issues. The
advantages of recycling waste material, much of which consists of metal, paper,
glass and plastic packaging, are being increasingly recognized by the global
community. The environmental benefits of recycled plastics products
are well known, and in addition, our management experience indicates that
recycled plastics can be 40% cheaper than virgin polymers. Recycling rates
in China vary among the different polymer types, but the overall trend for each
polymer type is increasing.
Currently, most of the recycled
plastics products manufactured in China use imported raw material in the form of
plastic waste. There is great opportunity to further develop the
plastics recycling market in China by relying on domestic suppliers of raw
material. According to the Plastics Industry Statistics &
Research Report (2008), in 2007, only approximately 14 million tons, or 24% of
the total amount of plastic being consumed in China was recycled. The
total value of the unrecycled plastic waste in China
is currently estimated
to exceed RMB 28 billion (approximately US$ 4.1 billion) per year.
Guanwei’s Recycling
Process
Guanwei’s plastics recycling process
begins with procuring raw material, which it sources primarily from Europe -
particularly from Germany. All the raw material the Company purchases
is previously unrecycled plastic waste, making it a strong plastic that is most
suitable in the manufacturing of Guanwei’s plastic grains. The
Company does not procure plastic waste from China because most of the
plastic waste available domestically has already been recycled, and it therefore
has a lower tensile force.
The raw material is shipped directly
from the supplier to Guanwei’s 60,000 square meter raw material storage and
manufacturing plant in special containers which are approved by the Chinese
government. Once in Guanwei’s facility, the plastic waste is then classified and
sorted by hand based on polymer type and color. Guanwei has over 150
workshop employees who help sort raw material and who are paid per piece in
order to increase productivity. Guanwei focuses on recycling of LDPE
products, so the non-LDPE materials are sorted out first, which accounts for
approximately 8% of the raw material. This non-LDPE material is packed and sold
to manufacturers who specialize in plastic production using the respective
materials.
After the LDPE material is sorted by
color, it is sent to the smashing workshop, where it is smashed and cut into
pieces by one of Guanwei’s eight smashing machines. The material is then washed
and cleaned at least two to three times in order to eliminate impurities. This
enhances the whiteness of the material, which results in a higher grade
end-product. Once washed, the material is packed into square containers and sent
to the plastic grain manufacturing area of the workshop, where there are 32
plastic grain machines. The material is fed into the grain machines, which break
down the material and form it into small grains of recycled plastic, which are
then sold to consumers in various manufacturing industries.
The waste water from the washing
process is treated in Guanwei’s sewage treatment area, which comprises over
4,800 square meters. The water is discharged into rectangular sediment pools
through a fence, which eliminates any large pieces of waste. Most of the
inorganic suspended particles and insoluble organic material are separated out
in the sedimentation pool. Each sediment pool has a sewage pumps for
condensing the inorganic material into sludge, which is then dried and used as
compost. The waste water is then run through a reaction pool, where
the coagulant agents PAC and PAM are added. The water is then processed again in
the sediment pool before it is sand filtered and run back to the workshop for
re-use.
In 2008, Guanwei’s production yield,
which is the amount of granular plastic end-product produced per ton of raw
material, was approximately 72%. The Company expects that yield to increase to
over 75% as production processes and techniques improve.
Products
Guanwei currently manufactures a number
of recycled plastics products made from LDPE, and is the largest manufacturer of
recycled LDPE in China. LDPE is easily processed and is defined by a density
range of 0.910-0.940 g/cm
3
. It
is moisture resistant and can withstand continuous temperatures of 175°F, and
can withstand temperatures of nearly 200° F for short periods of time. LDPE is
chemical and corrosion resistant. It has high resilience and low
density, making it an extremely light weight and flexible plastic. It also meets
food handling guidelines and is easily cleaned, and therefore it is ideal for
food packaging, wraps and films.
LPDE can be produced in both
translucent or opaque varieties, and the principal difference between virgin
LPDE and recycled LPDE is that recycled LDPE cannot be completely transparent.
Some manufacturers have strict color requirements, so they will not purchase
recycled LPDE. However, recycled LPDE is attractive to manufacturers without
color requirements, as the virgin plastic selling price in China is can be as
high as RMB 4000 (US$585) per ton higher than recycled LDPE.
Guanwei produces four types of LDPE
plastic grains. The grade is determined by the color of the plastic grain, with
higher grade denoting that the grain is whiter. Higher grade plastic grains are
more expensive.

Currently, the demand for Guanwei’s
products exceeds the amount Guanwei is able to produce. Therefore, Guanwei does
not currently have any plans to develop new products. However, the
Company intends to enhance its manufacturing process and increase its training
of more skilled workers, and thereby increase productivity.
All of Guanwei’s products are
manufactured in its 60,000 square meter warehouse and manufacturing facility
located in Fuqing City. The Company has a sewage treatment area for processing
the waste water used in the manufacturing process, which exceeds 4800 square
meters.
Raw Materials and Major
Suppliers
Because an important step in the
recycling of plastic waste is sorting and classifying the raw material, Guanwei
obtains all of its raw material from foreign suppliers (primarily in Europe),
where it can obtain raw material which consists solely of unrecycled plastic,
and where the sorting and classification techniques are superior to those used
in China. Guanwei’s five primary suppliers are located in Europe and the
Company has one wholesaler in Hong Kong from which it also purchases some raw
material. Guanwei is one of the few plastics importer-manufacturers in China
with a compliance certificate from the German Environment Auditor for meeting
certain minimum emissions standards, which allows Guanwei access to German
suppliers. Guanwei does not have any long-term contracts with its suppliers, but
rather purchases raw materials on a purchase order basis at prevailing market
prices.
The raw materials are transported to
the port of Jiangyin in China by ocean freighters. As the importer of the raw
materials, Guanwei covers the cost of shipping from the supplier to Guanwei’s
facility. Each imported container weighs about 20 tons, and shipping costs
between US $500-$800, including insurance. The raw materials are then
transported from the port in Jiangyin to the Company’s facility by truck at a
cost of approximately US $87 per container. Each container is subject to an
import tax imposed by the Chinese government of 6%, which is down from 7.5% in
2008, and is also subject to a value-added tax of 17%.
Importers
of plastic waste into the PRC are subject to an import quota regulated by the
Ministry of Environmental Protection. Guanwei has been approved for an import
quota of 24,000 tons of plastic waste per year, and for a number of years,
Guanwei has also been permitted to use of the 35,000 tons per year import quota
granted to Fuqing Huan Li Plastics Company Limited (“Huan Li”). Huan Li has not
had any significant operations since 2005, but its import quota remains valid.
Chen Min, our Chief Executive Officer, is a director of Huan Li.
Although
Guanwei has not previously experienced difficulties receving permission from
Huan Li to use its import quota, there can be no guarantee that the import quota
will be available to Guanwei in the future as Huan Li can rescind its permission
at any time. The unavailability of Huan Li’s import quota could have a material
and adverse effect on Guanwei’s business, financial condition and results of
operations. Without the import quota Guanwei would have to purchase domestically
supplied plastic waste, which would increase production costs, as domestic
plastic waste is often poorly sorted. Additionally, domestic plastic waste could
negatively impact the quality of Guanwei’s products because most of it has
already been recycled, and it therefore has a lower tensile force.
As Huan
Li has no material operations, Guanwei could apply for official transfer of Huan
Li’s import quota to Guanwei. As Guanwei’s operations expand, it intends to
apply for an increase in its import quota, which is subject to review by the
Ministry of Environmental Protection on an annual basis.
Product Sales, Distribution and
Marketing
Guanwei has a sales team of six
people, led by Mr. Gao Juguang, an industry veteran with over 15 years of
plastic sales experience. The Company is focused on diversifying its
client base and increasing its sales volume to the infrastructure-building
industry. Mr. Gao and the sales team work toward these goals by
developing new client relationships through site visits, personal telephone
calls and presentations and presenting product samples to the potential
customers. Guanwei also relies on word-of-mouth to strengthen its reputation and
secure sales from local customers. Due to its product quality and reputation,
Guanwei has experienced a great deal of success securing regular customers after
their first usage of the products.
Guanwei sells its products directly to
end-users of the plastic grains, many of whom contact Guanwei directly for
pricing quotes. The Company does not advertise or promote its products heavily,
as the demand for the products currently exceeds supply. The Fujian
Province, where Guanwei’s manufacturing facilities are located, is one of the
largest shoe-manufacturing bases in China. Guanwei sells between 30% to 50% of
its product to these shoe manufacturers, many of whom are located within 200 km
of Guanwei’s facilities. The cost savings resulting from importing raw materials
directly from foreign suppliers and not using distributors or wholesalers means
that Guanwei’s selling prices are very competitive.
All of Guanwei’s customers
pre-pay for the products they purchase and the price includes all all
shipping and transportation costs.
Guanwei typically sells its products on a purchase
order basis, but occassionally enters into one-year supply agreements with
customers.
The purpose of such
agreements is to set the prices at which products are to be sold to such
customers during the following year.
The customer base is spread
across different geographic markets and different industries, such as shoe
manufacturing, food packaging, construction material manufacturing (such as
fire- and water-proofing material, plastic pipes), and outdoor furniture
manufacturing. No single customer represents over five percent of
sales volume or net revenue. Guanwei does not foresee any difficulties in sales
as it is well-insulated against fluctuating demands in any one
industry.
Competition
Guanwei has several competitive
advantages over its competitors, including the following:
Experienced
management team
Guanwei’s senior management team has
extensive business and industry experience, which has been instrumental in the
development of Guanwei’s strong supplier and customer relationships and
manufacturing processes. For additional information regarding Guanwei’s
management team, please see the description of directors and management later in
this Current Report.
Well-established manufacturing
capabilities
In China, the vast majority of plastic
recycling companies are small-scale craftsmen shops lacking the capacity to
properly process raw materials, deal with sewage treatment issues and meet
required environmental standards. In comparison, Guanwei has a large,
60,000 square meter warehouse and manufacturing facility in which it produces
various plastics products, and also has a sewage treatment facility that is able
to filter and process the waste products resulting from the manufacturing.
Guanwei’s two main Chinese competitors are Fujian Huaxia Plastics Corp. and
Youfeng Plastics Corp., each of which produce about 20,000 tons per year of
recycled plastic products. Comparatively, Guanwei’s production
capacity is 50,000 tons annually. In 2008, over 30,600 tons of
plastic waste was processed into 23,350 tons of recycled LDPE for
sale by Guanwei. Additionally, production costs for both of these companies
are higher than Guanwei’s because they purchase their raw materials from
wholesalers in Hong Kong, whereas Guanwei imports almost all of its raw
materials directly from suppliers. Furthermore, Guanwei is the only LDPE
importer in China with manufacturing capabilities, and the only plastics
manufacturer in China which has obtained the “Plastics Waste Processing
License,” issued by German Environment Audit Association, as discussed further
below.
Steady supply of imported raw material
and no middleman
Guanwei is a forerunner among imported
plastic waste processors and plastic material manufacturers. It has a steady
supply of raw material from suppliers located throughout Europe and elsewhere
outside China. The imported raw material is of a high quality, allowing Guanwei
to benefit from efficiencies in the manufacturing of its products. Additionally,
Guanwei imports the raw material directly, which cuts costs that would otherwise
be paid to an importer, and Guanwei is located near a major port, so freight
costs are kept low.
Broad range of end-users
The Company sells its plastics products
to over 200 customers in over 10 industries. Its products are used to produce a
wide variety of end products, including shoe soles, food packaging containers,
and construction equipment, an industry the Company is focusing on expanding
into further as the Chinese government’s stimulus plan has substantially
increased infrastructure construction in China. Because the Company’s
client base is so diverse, the Company is insulated from fluctuating market
demands in any one industry.
Only importer-manufacturer in China
with a Certificate of Approval from the German Environment Auditor
The German Environment Auditor provides
certificates of approval for certain plastics manufacturers which meet the
Auditor’s environmental standards. Manufacturers are subject to
inspections relating to air, water and noise discharge. German suppliers are
only allowed to sell plastics waste to manufacturers who have this certificate.
Guanwei is currently the only Chinese importer and manufacturer with this
certificate.
Employees
Guanwei currently has 600 full-time
employees working in the workshops, and 20 employees in management
positions.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with
Environmental Laws
Currently, Guanwei’s manufacturing
processes are in compliance with all Chinese laws and environmental
standards.
Research
and Development
Guanwei does not currently have plans
to develop new products because the demand for LDPE plastic grains already
exceeds our manufacturing capabilities. Guanwei is in the process of improving
its processes by testing the addition of Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer
(EPDM), a cleaning solvent, during the smashing and cleaning stage in order to
improve the cleanliness of the end product and Guanwei’s production margins.
There are nominal costs associated with the Company’s research and
development.
RISK
FACTORS
The
financial condition, business, operations, and prospects of the Company involve
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below, which constitute the material risks relating to the Company,
and the other information in this Current Report. If any of the following risks
are realized, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition
could be harmed and the value of the Company’s stock could suffer. This means
that investors and stockholders of the Company could lose all or a part of their
investment.
RISKS
RELATING TO THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
The operations of Guanwei, our sole
operating subsidiary, are wholly conducted in the People’s Republic of China
(“China” or “PRC”). Accordingly, its businesses, financial condition and results
of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal
environments in the PRC and by the general state of the PRC
economy.
Certain
Political and Economic Considerations Relating to China Could Adversely Affect
Our Company.
The PRC
is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. While the PRC
government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door
policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under
five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic
measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on
foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC
government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy.
Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented
or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved.
Other
political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of
such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a
positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating
results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social
conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as
changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof),
measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest
rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on
currency conversion.
The
Chinese Government Exerts Substantial Influence Over The Manner In Which We Must
Conduct Our Business Activities Which Could Adversely Affect Our
Company.
China
only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private
economic activities. The Chinese government has exercised and continues to
exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy
through regulation and State ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be
harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to
taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights,
property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in
material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new,
stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would
require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance
with such regulations or interpretations.
Accordingly,
government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to
support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned
economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic
policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or
particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any
interest we then hold in China.
The
Chinese Legal System Has Inherent Uncertainties That Could Limit The Legal
Protections Available To You.
Guanwei’s
contractual arrangements in China are governed by the laws of the PRC. China’s
legal system is based upon written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited
for reference but are not binding on subsequent cases and have limited value as
precedents. Since 1979, the Chinese legislative bodies have promulgated laws and
regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate
organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because
these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume
of published decisions and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and
enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties, and therefore
you may not have legal protections for certain matters in China.
Because
Our Assets Are Located In China, Any Dividends Of Proceeds From Liquidation Is
Subject To The Approval Of The Relevant Chinese Government
Agencies.
Our
assets are located inside China. Under the laws governing foreign invested
enterprises in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but
subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend
payments will be subject to the decision of our Board of Directors and subject
to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is
subject to both the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as
well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our
investors in case of dividend payments and liquidation.
Future
Inflation In China May Inhibit Our Activity To Conduct Business In
China.
In recent
years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high
rates of inflation. During the past twenty years, the rate of inflation in China
has been as high as 24.1% in 1994 and as low as -1.4% in 1999 (according to
National Bureau of Statistics of China). These factors have led to the adoption
by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures
designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain
inflation. While inflation has been more moderate since 1995, high inflation may
in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or
prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China
and thereby harm our business operations.
Capital
Outflow Policies In China May Hamper Our Ability To Pay Dividends To
Stockholders In The United States
The
People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer
regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations
for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were
introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for
current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital
items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the
approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to
obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese
regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of
the RMB in the future. Because all of our current revenues and most of our
future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals
or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to fund
our business activities outside China or to pay dividends to our
shareholders.
Currency
Conversion And Exchange Rate Volatility Could Adversely Affect Our Financial
Condition.
The PRC
government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign
currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the
People’s Bank of China (PBOC) publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as
the PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank
foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign
currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within
an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market
conditions.
Pursuant
to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State
Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the
Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which
came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion
of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises (“
FIEs
”), for use on
current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to
foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert their after-tax
dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to
their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC. Conversion of Renminbi into
foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment,
loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions. On January
14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and
added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC
government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and
transfers under current account items.
Enterprises
in the PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions
relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign
exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by
providing valid receipts and proofs.
Convertibility
of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct
investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions,
and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be
sought.
Since
1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollars has
remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately
RMB8.28 to US$1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that
would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number
of currencies, rather than just the U.S. Dollar. As our operations are primarily
in China, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and
adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example,
to the extent that we need to convert United States dollars into Renminbi for
our operations, appreciation of this currency against the United States dollar
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into United
States dollars for other business purposes and the United States dollar
appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar equivalent of the
Renminbi we convert would be reduced.
The
Value Of Our Securities Will Be Affected By The Foreign Exchange Rate Between
U.S. Dollars And Renminbi.
The value
of our Common Stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S.
dollars and Renminbi, and between those currencies and other currencies in which
our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need to convert
U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the Renminbi
appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, the
business of the Company, and the price of our Common Stock may be harmed.
Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the
purpose of declaring dividends on our Common Stock or for other business
purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar
equivalent of our earnings from our China operations would be
reduced.
You
May Experience Difficulties In Effecting Service Of Legal Process, Enforcing
Foreign Judgments Or Bringing Original Actions In China Based On United States
Or Other Foreign Laws Against Us.
We
conduct our operations in China and most of our assets are located in China. In
addition, some of our directors and executive officers reside within China. As a
result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United
States or elsewhere outside China upon such directors or executive officers,
including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or
applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our Chinese counsel has advised us
that China does not have treaties with the U.S. and many other countries that
provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts. As
a result, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court of the
U.S. or any other jurisdiction in relation to any matter may be difficult or
impossible.
Our Significant
Amount Of Deposits In Certain Banks In China May Be At Risk If These Banks Go
Bankrupt During Our Deposit Period
.
At June
30, 2009, we had approximately US$6,003,535 on deposit with banks in China,
which constitutes approximately all of our total cash. The terms of these
deposits are, in general, up to twelve (12) months. Historically, deposits in
Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’
interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006,
which became effective on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article
expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures
for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law. Under the new
Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go bankrupt. In addition, since China’s
concession to WTO, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in
China and have been severe competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects,
especially since the opening of Renminbi business to foreign banks in late 2006.
Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of those banks in which we have deposits has
increased. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the banks which holds our
deposits, we are unlikely to recover our deposits back in full since we are
unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
We
Cannot Predict Whether We Will Meet Internal or External Expectations Of Future
Performance.
We
believe that our future success depends on our ability to significantly increase
revenue from
processing recycled
plastic wastes. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies with a
limited operating history. These risks include our ability to:
|
¨
|
develop
new and innovative processing methods, including processes which increase
production yield;
|
|
¨
|
respond
effectively to competitive pressures and address the effects of strategic
relationships or corporate
combinations;
|
|
¨
|
maintain
our current, and develop new, strategic relationships with customers and
suppliers;
|
|
¨
|
increase
awareness of our products and continue to build customer loyalty;
and
|
|
¨
|
attract
and retain qualified management, consultants and
employees.
|
We
Cannot Assure You That Our Organic Growth Strategy Will Be
Successful.
One of
our growth strategies is to grow organically through increasing the sale of our
products by increasing our output volume and entering new markets in China and
internationally. However, many obstacles to increasing our market share and
entering such new markets exist, including, but not limited to, costs associated
with increasing market share and entering into such markets and attendant
marketing efforts. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will be able to
successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our products in any
additional markets. Our inability to implement this organic growth strategy
successfully may have a negative impact on our ability to grow and on our future
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our
Business And Growth Could Suffer If We Are Unable To Hire And Retain Key
Personnel That Are In High Demand.
We depend
upon the continued contributions of our senior management and other key
personnel, including external experts and advisers. The loss of the services of
any of our executive officers or other key personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. We do not
maintain key man insurance on the lives of these individuals at present. As we
plan to expand, we will have to attract managerial staff. We may not be able to
identify and retain qualified personnel due to our lack of understanding of
different cultures and lack of local contacts. This may impede any potential
expansion. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract and
retain highly skilled and qualified technical, engineering, managerial, finance,
marketing, security and customer service personnel in China. Qualified
individuals are in high demand, and we may not be able to successfully attract,
assimilate or retain the personnel we need to succeed.
We
May Not Be Able To Manage Our Expanding Operations Effectively, Which Could Harm
Our Business.
We
anticipate expanding our business as we address growth in our customer base and
market opportunities. In addition, the geographic dispersion of our operations
as a result of overall internal growth requires significant management resources
that our locally-based competitors do not need to devote to their operations. In
order to manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will be
required to improve and implement operational and financial systems, procedures
and controls, and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. Further,
our management will be required to maintain and expand our strategic
relationships necessary to our business. We cannot assure you that our current
and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to
support our future operations. If we are not successful in establishing,
maintaining and managing our personnel, systems, procedures and controls, our
business will be materially and adversely affected.
If
We Need Additional Capital To Fund Our Growing Operations, We May Not Be Able To
Obtain Sufficient Capital And May Be Forced To Limit The Scope Of Our
Operations.
We may
experience increased capital needs and we may not have enough capital to fund
our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs
will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the
success of our competitors; (iii) the amount of our capital expenditures; and
(iv) new investments. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
capital in the future to meet our needs. If we cannot obtain additional funding,
we may be required to:
|
¨
|
reduce
our investments;
|
|
¨
|
limit
our expansion efforts; and
|
|
¨
|
decrease
or eliminate capital expenditures.
|
Such
reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to
compete. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able
to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are
acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise
materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing
stockholders. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing
will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to
us.
We
depend on a limited number of suppliers for a majority of our
supplies. The inability to secure raw materials could affect our
production output and reduce our revenues.
We
primarily import plastics wastes from five suppliers located in Europe and
Hong Kong. Failure to maintain good relationships with our current suppliers or
to develop a new supply source of raw materials could negatively affect our
ability to obtain the raw materials used in our products in a timely manner. If
we are unable to obtain ample supplies of raw material from our existing
suppliers or develop alternative supply sources, we may be unable to satisfy our
customers’ orders which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and
our relationship with our customers. Furthermore, we are dependent on
our suppliers for the timely delivery of materials that we require for our
operations. Should our suppliers fail to deliver such materials on time, and if
we are unable to source these materials from alternative suppliers on a timely
basis, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.
The
success of our business is heavily dependent upon our ability to secure raw
plastic.
Our
ability to generate revenue depends upon our ability to secure raw plastic.
There is a world-wide market for these materials, and the Company faces
competition from other low-cost users. To the extent that we are unable to
secure enough raw plastic, our business, financial condition and results of
operations will be materially adversely affected.
The
Chinese government limits the amount of plastic waste which may be imported, and
as such, we may not be able to import sufficient raw materials.
The Chinese government limits the
amount of plastic wastes which may be imported into China. Although
we have not experienced difficulties obtaining and renewing our import license
in the past, we can not guarantee the license will be approved in the future. If
we fail to obtain the import license, we may have to use domestically supplied
plastics wastes for our manufacturing. Domestic plastic wastes are typically
poorly sorted, so utilizing the domestic raw material increase production
costs.
Our
production costs and revenues are impacted by increases in the cost of labor,
shipping and other expenses.
The manufacturing of recycled plastics
is highly labor-intensive as all raw material classification is done by
hand. A sharp increase of in pay or a mandatory welfare/insurance
contribution by employers would cause an increase in production costs and would
reduce our profit margin. Additionally, as all of the raw material used in our
manufacturing is imported, an increase in the freight costs of importing such
material would increase our production costs and thus negatively impact our
revenues.
We
are dependent on use of an import quota granted to us by another company, the
loss of which could materially affect our ability to secure high quality raw
materials for our manufacturing processes.
In the
PRC, imports of plastic waste are subject to an import quota regulated by the
Ministry of Environmental Protection. We have been approved for an import quota
of 24,000 tons of plastic waste per year. We have also been permitted to use of
the 35,000 tons per year import quota granted to Fuqing Huan Li Plastics Company
Limited (“Huan Li”). Huan Li has not had any significant operations since 2005,
but its import quota remains valid. Chen Min, our Chief Executive Officer, is a
director of Huan Li.
Although
we have not previously experienced difficulties with regard to Huan Li
permitting us to use its import quota, there can be no guarantee that the import
quota will be available to us in the future. Huan Li can rescind its grant to us
of the import quota at any time. If we are unable to use Huan Li’s import quota,
our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially
adversely affected. Without the import quota we may have to purchase
domestically supplied plastic waste for our manufacturing
processes. Domestic plastic waste is typically poorly sorted, which
increases our production costs and most of the plastic waste available
domestically has already been recycled, and it therefore has a lower tensile
force which would negatively impact the quality of our
products.
We
May Be Classified As A Passive Foreign Investment Company, Which Could Result In
Adverse U.S. Tax Consequences To U.S. Investors.
Based
upon the nature of our income and assets, we may be classified as a passive
foreign investment company, or PFIC, by the United States Internal Revenue
Service for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result
in adverse U.S. tax consequences to you. For example, if we are a PFIC, our U.S.
investors will become subject to increased tax liabilities under U.S. tax laws
and regulations and will become subject to more burdensome reporting
requirements. The determination of whether or not we are a PFIC is made on an
annual basis, and those determinations depend on the composition of our income
and assets, including goodwill, from time to time. We intend to operate our
business so as to minimize the risk of PFIC treatment, however you should be
aware that certain factors that could affect our classification as PFIC are out
of our control. For example, the calculation of assets for purposes of the PFIC
rules depends in large part upon the amount of our goodwill, which in turn is
based, in part, on the then market value of our shares, which is subject to
change. Similarly, the composition of our income and assets is affected by the
extent to which we spend the cash we have raised on acquisitions and capital
expenditures. In addition, the relevant authorities in this area are not clear
and so we operate with less than clear guidance in our effort to minimize the
risk of PFIC treatment. Therefore, we cannot be sure whether we are not and will
not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year. In the event we are
determined to be a PFIC, our stock may become less attractive to U.S. investors,
thus negatively impacting the price of our stock.
Environmental
Compliance And Remediation Could Result In Substantially Increased Capital
Requirements And Operating Costs Which Could Adversely Affect Our
Business
Guanwei
is subject to numerous Chinese provincial and local laws and regulations
relating to the protection of the environment. These laws continue to evolve and
are becoming increasingly stringent. The ultimate impact of complying with such
laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable because
regulations under some of these laws have not yet been promulgated or are
undergoing revision. Our consolidated business and operating results could be
materially and adversely affected if Guanwei were required to increase
expenditures to comply with any new environmental regulations affecting its
operations. We could, in the future, incur a material liability resulting from
the costs of complying with environmental laws, environmental permits or any
claims concerning noncompliance, or liability from contamination.
We cannot
predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the
future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or
interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist at our
facilities or at third-party sites for which we are liable. Enactment of
stricter laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws and
regulations or the requirement to undertake the investigation or remediation of
currently unknown environmental contamination at our own or third-party sites
may require us to make additional expenditures, some of which could be
material.
If
environmental regulation enforcement is relaxed, the demand for our products may
decrease.
The
demand for our services is substantially dependent upon the public’s concern
with, and the continuation and proliferation of, the laws and regulations
governing the recycling of plastic. A decrease in the level of public concern,
the repeal or modification of these laws, or any significant relaxation of
regulations relating to the recycling of plastic would significantly reduce the
demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our
operations and financial condition.
We
face competition from other companies, which could force us to lower our prices,
thereby adversely affecting our operating margins, financial condition, cash
flows and profitability.
The
markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and this competition could
harm our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. We
believe that one significant competitive factor for our products is selling
price. Although we do not aspire to be the lowest cost provider but rather the
highest value provider to our customers, we could be subject to adverse results
caused by our competitors’ pricing decisions. If we do not compete successfully,
our business, operating margins, financial condition, cash flows and
profitability could be adversely affected.
Our
Sales Are Dominated By Sales in China Which Could Have An Adverse Effect On Our
Business
For each of the two most
recent fiscal years, almost all of our sales were derived from customers in
China. We expect that the domestic market in China will continue to be our major
market. Our business is therefore heavily dependent on the demand for
plastics
in China
and the domestic market prices of LDPE. In the event that there is any
material adverse change in the level of the demand of raw material for plastic
products
in China
or if there are a significant price fluctuations in China, our performance could
be adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our
Common Stock Price May Be Volatile And Could Decline In The Future.
The stock
market in general and the market price for other companies based in the PRC have
experienced extreme stock price fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations
have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many
companies in China have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of
their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside
of our control, could cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate, perhaps
substantially. Factors such as the following could have a significant adverse
impact on the market price of our Common Stock:
|
¨
|
announcements
of technological innovations by us or our
competitors;
|
|
¨
|
our
ability to obtain additional financing and, if available, the terms and
conditions of the financing;
|
|
¨
|
our
financial position and results of
operations;
|
|
¨
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our operating
results;
|
|
¨
|
changes
in estimates of our performance by any securities
analysts;
|
|
¨
|
new
regulatory requirements and changes in the existing regulatory
environment;
|
|
¨
|
the
issuance of new equity securities in a future

economic and other national
conditions.
|
The
Trading Market In Our Common Stock Is Limited And May Cause Volatility In The
Market Price.
Our
Common Stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTCBB under the
symbol “MDHO”. The OTCBB is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that
provides significantly less liquidity than the NASD’s automated quotation
system, or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Quotes for stocks included on the OTCBB are
not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for the NASDAQ
Stock Market. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCBB may be
difficult to obtain.
The
quotation of our Common Stock on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful,
consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such
market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Thus,
the market price for our Common Stock is subject to volatility and holders of
Common Stock may be unable to resell their shares at or near their original
purchase price or at any price. In the absence of an active trading
market:
|
¨
|
investors
may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market
quotations;
|
|
¨
|
market
visibility for our Common Stock may be limited;
and
|
|
¨
|
a
lack of visibility for our Common Stock may have a depressive effect on
the market for our Common Stock.
|
We
May Have Difficulty Raising Necessary Capital To Fund Operations As A Result Of
Market Price Volatility For Our Shares Of Common Stock.
In recent
years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level
of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many
companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been
related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of
such companies. For these reasons, our shares of Common Stock can also be
expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over
which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful,
we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing
and new technologies and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our
technologies may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing
through debt and equity or other means.
Our
Common Stock Is Considered A “Penny Stock” And As A Result, Related
Broker-Dealer Requirements Affect Its Trading And Liquidity.
Our
Common Stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it meets one or more of
the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. These include but are not limited to the
following: (i) the common stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per
share; (ii) the common stock is not traded on a “recognized” national
exchange; (iii) the common stock is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market,
or (iv) the common stock is issued by a company with average revenues of
less than US$6,000,000 for the past three (3) years. The principal result or
effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers
cannot recommend our Common Stock to investors, thus hampering its
liquidity.
Section 15(g)
and Rule 15g-2 require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide
potential investors with documentation disclosing the risks of penny stocks and
to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the documents before
effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential
investors in our Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure
carefully before purchasing any of our shares.
Moreover,
Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account
of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock
to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,
based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to
be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions;
(iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis
on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and
(iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor,
confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives.
Compliance
with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our Common
Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in
the market or otherwise.
Shares
Eligible For Future Sale May Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Common
Stock.
From time
to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of
their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the
open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “
Securities Act
”),
subject to certain limitations. Any substantial sale pursuant to Rule 144
may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
One
Stockholder Exercises Significant Control Over Matters Requiring Stockholder
Approval.
After
giving effect to the issuance of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the
Share Exchange, one stockholder (Fresh Generation Overseas Limited, a British
Virgin Islands corporation, hereinafter the “Stockholder”) has voting power
equal to approximately 60% of our voting securities as of the date of this
Current Report. As described in greater detail later in this Current Report,
Chen Min, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the beneficial owner of
the shares of our Common Stock held by the Stockholder. As a result, Chen Min,
through such indirect stock ownership, can exercise control over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us that may be
otherwise viewed as beneficial by stockholders other than the
Stockholder.
We
May Incur Significant Costs To Ensure Compliance With U.S. Corporate Governance
And Accounting Requirements.
We may
incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting
requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance
requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and
regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make
some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these
applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive
for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required
to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs
to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult
for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board or as
executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs
we may incur or the timing of such costs.
We
May Be Required To Raise Additional Financing By Issuing New Securities With
Terms Or Rights Superior To Those Of Our Shares Of Common Stock, Which Could
Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Shares Of Common Stock.
We may
require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion in
current and new markets, development and acquisition, capital costs and the
costs of any necessary implementation of technological innovations or
alternative technologies. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable
terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the
percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and the
holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the
holders of shares of Common Stock, which could adversely affect the market price
and the voting power of shares of our Common Stock. If we raise additional funds
by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly
have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of Common Stock, and
the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and
create a significant interest expense for us.
We
May Have Difficulty Establishing Adequate Management And Financial Controls In
China And In Complying With U.S. Corporate Governance And Accounting
Requirements Which Could Have An Adverse Affect On Our Business
The PRC
has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts
and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with. We
may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the
experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls
that are expected of a United States public company. If we cannot
establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial
data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records
and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards, which could have an
adverse affect on our business.
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, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and
attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants.
The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control
over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require
significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed
standards and will impose significant additional expenses on us. We may
encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the
attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and
we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any
requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our
independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal
control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered
public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on
such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively
impacted.
We
Do Not Foresee Paying Cash Dividends In The Foreseeable Future.
Although
Chenxin has previously paid cash dividends to its shareholders, MDHO has
not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not plan to pay
cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The
purpose of this section is to discuss the financial condition, changes in
financial condition and results of operations of the company. This includes
discussion of (i) liquidity (ii) capital resources (iii) results of operations
and (iv) off-balance sheet arrangements, plus any other information that would
be necessary to an understanding of the company’s financial condition, changes
in financial condition and results of operations. References in this section to
“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to the consolidated business of Hongkong
Chenxin International Development Limited (“
Chenxin
”) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Fuqing Guanwei Plastic Industry Co. Ltd. (“
Guanwei
”).
Forward
Looking Statements
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and their related notes included in this Current Report. This report
contains forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,”
“anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“continue” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable
terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth
in this report or other reports or documents we file with the SEC from time to
time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from
those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking
statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to
update these forward-looking statements.
Business
Overview
Prior
Operations of MDHO
Since its
inception on December 13, 2006, MDHO
has been engaged in the
business of providing traditional mortgage services. MDHO
has been unsuccessful in
developing a profitable business and ceased its operations effective December
31, 2008.
The
Share Exchange
On
November
5
, 2009, MDHO
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Chenxin and
Fresh
Generation Overseas Limited (the “
Stockholder
”), whereby MDHO acquired
all of the issued and outstanding securities of Chenxin from the Stockholder in
exchange for the issuance by MDHO to the Stockholder of
12 million
newly-issued shares of
our
Common Stock. As of
the Closing Date, the Stockholder beneficially owns sixty percent (60%) of the
voting capital stock of MDHO. As a result of the Share Exchange, Chenxin became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of MDHO.
Current
Business of the Company
Following
the Share Exchange, MDHO, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
Guanwei, which is located in Fuqing City, Fujian Province, PRC, imports and
recycles LDPE plastic scrap material into granular plastic for use in the
manufacture of various consumer products. Guanwei is one of the biggest recycled
LDPE manufacturers in China.
Critical
Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
Accounting
Principles
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenditures, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the
financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant
estimates and assumptions include revenues recognition, valuation of inventories
and provisions for income taxes. We continue to evaluate these estimates and
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on
these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since
the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting
process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our
accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their
application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this
Current Report reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in
preparation of our financial statements. We believe there have been no material
changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.
The following critical accounting
policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements:
(a)
|
Basis
of Accounting and Principles of
Consolidation
|
The
consolidated financial statements for Chenxin and its subsidiary, Guanwei, for
the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 are prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP and include the accounts of both Chenxin and Guanwei (together, hereinafter
referred to as the “Group”) for all periods presented.
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements presented herewith, all
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on
consolidation.
A single
uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the combined entity, Chenxin.
Therefore, Chenxin recognized the assets, liabilities and equity of the
combining entities (Chenxin and Guanwei) at the carrying amounts in the
consolidated financial statements of the controlling parties (original
shareholders) prior to the common control combination. These carrying amounts
are referred to the existing book values from the original shareholder’s
perspective.
(b)
|
Foreign
Currency Translations and
Transactions
|
Chenxin
maintains its books and accounting records in United States Dollars (“USD”). The
primary currency of the economic environment in which the operations of Chenxin
are conducted is Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC. The RMB is
therefore considered as Chenxin’s “functional currency.”
Chenxin’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Guanwei, maintains its books and accounting records in
RMB. RMB is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the
operations of Guanwei are conducted currently or will be conducted in the
future. The RMB is therefore considered to be Guanwei’s “functional
currency.”
Guanwei
uses the “current rate method” to translate its financial statements from RMB
into USD, as required under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” issued by the Financial
Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”). The assets and liabilities of Guanwei are
translated into USD using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet
date. The capital accounts are translated at the historical rate. Adjustments
resulting from the translation of the balance sheets of Guanwei from RMB into
USD are recorded in shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated comprehensive
income. The statement of income and comprehensive income is translated at
average rates during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from
transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are recognized
in net income for the reporting periods. The statement of cash flows is
translated at average rates during the reporting period, with the exception of
issue of share and payment of dividends which are translated at historical
rates. Due to the use of different rates for translation, the figures in the
statement of changes in cash flows may not agree with the differences between
the year end balances as shown in the balance sheets.
The Group
has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” issued by the FASB.
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Group has chosen to report comprehensive income in the
statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income is comprised
of net income and all changes to stockholders’ equity except those due to
investments by owners and distributors to owners.
Revenue
from sales of manufactured LDPE is recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery of the goods has occurred, customer acceptance has
been obtained, which means the significant risks and ownership have been
transferred to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Sales
of scrap materials are recognized on the same basis as sales of
LDPE.
Interest
income is recognized on a time proportion basis, taking into account the
principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
The Group
accounts for income and deferred tax under the provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,”
under which deferred taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between
the applicable tax balance sheets and the balance sheet. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. SFAS
No. 109 also requires the recognition of the future tax benefits of net
operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established
when the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized within a reasonable
period of time.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Group adopted FIN No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” In accordance with FIN No. 48, the Group
recognizes tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold
and provides for the estimated impact of interest and penalties for such tax
benefits. The Group did not have such uncertain tax positions in 2007 and
2008.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to
be applicable for taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income for the
period that includes the enactment date.
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or market
value. Costs include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing
each product to its present location and condition. Market value is
calculated based on the estimated normal selling price, less further costs
expected to be incurred disposal. Provision is made for obsolete,
slow moving or defective items, where appropriate.
(g)
|
Property,
Plant and Equipment and Land Use
Right
|
Property,
plant and equipment and land use right are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Gains or losses on disposal are reflected in
current operations. Major expenditures for betterments and renewals
are capitalized. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are
expensed as incurred. Land in the PRC is owned by the PRC
government. The government in the PRC may sell the right to use the
land for a specified period of time. Thus, all of the Group’s land purchases in
the PRC are considered to be leasehold land and classified as a land use right.
They are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the
right to use the land. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
and land use right is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’
estimated useful lives as follows:
Land
use right

Over
30 years prior to the extension of lease to 50 years and 50 years
thereafter

The Group
has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets,” which requires impairment losses to be recorded for property, plant and
equipment to be held and used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present. Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether the
carrying value of assets is impaired. The Group determines the
existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the
carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is
then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less
costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to
their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the
carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in
connection with the decision to dispose of such assets. There were no impairment
losses recorded during each of the two years ended December 31,
2008.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are
reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although
these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and
actions that the Group may undertake in the future, actual results may be
different from the estimates. The key estimates of the Group is as
follow:
(j)
|
Impairment
on trade and other receivables
|
The
policy for impairment of trade and other receivables of the Group is based on
the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of the trade receivables and
on management’s judgment for certain other receivables. A
considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate
realisation of these trade and other receivables, including the current
creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If
the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
impairment may be required.
Entities
are considered to be related to the Group if the parties, directly or
indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or
are under common control with the Group. Related parties also include
principal owners of the Group, its management, members of the immediate families
of principal owners of the Group and its management and other parties with which
the Group may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the
management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the
transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate
interests. A party which can significantly influence the management
or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership
interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the
other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be
prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related
party.

Revenue
Our
revenues are primarily derived from the sales of recycled LDPE. We also derive a
portion of our revenue from the sale of non-LDPE waste material. Guanwei
manufactures only recycled LDPE, but the purchased raw material generally
contains approximately 8% of non-LDPE waste, such as PE, PP or ABS. Guanwei
sorts and classifies this non-LDPE material and sells it to the other recycled
plastic manufacturers who use these products.
In fiscal
year 2008, revenue generated from the sale of recycled LDPE increased to
$24,051,803, representing a 59.84% increase from $15,047,027 generated in fiscal
year 2007. The Company also increased its direct sales of non-LDPE material to
$1,378,911 in fiscal year 2008, as compared to $730,970 for fiscal year 2007,
representing an increase of 88.64%. For the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, total net revenue was $25,430,714 and $15,777,997 respectively,
representing a 61.18% growth rate. The increase in total net revenue was
primarily due to the increase of sales volume. In 2008, sales volume was 23,350
tons, an increase of 52.43% from 15,319 tons of final products sold in
2007.

Guanwei does not depend heavily on any
key customers. In fact, Guanwei generates revenue from over 200 customers, none
of whom represent more than 5% of the sales volume or total net revenue of the
Company.
Guanwei produces four types of LDPE
plastic grains. The grade is determined by the color of the plastic grain, with
higher grade denoting that the grain is whiter. Higher grade plastic grains are
more expensive. The product margin among the four classes of recycled LDPE
produced by Guanwei is not fixed, as it depends greatly on the quality of raw
material input. Sales of the Grade A plastic grains generally account
for approximately 30% of our sales volume. Grade B and Grade C grains each
generally account for approximately 20% of total sales, and sales of Grade D
grains generally account for approximately 30% of sales.
Cost of
Revenue
Our cost
of revenue primarily consisted of the import costs of plastic
waste. In 2008 and 2007, the cost of revenue was $20,292,530 and
$11,052,199, respectively, representing 79.80% and 70.05% of the current year
revenue, respectively. Guanwei primarily imports plastic wastes from
European countries, including Germany and Spain. As our cost of revenue consists
primarily of the purchase price of important plastic waste, Guanwei has limited
influence on such costs. The prices of imported plastic waste are determined
solely by suppliers and are dependent upon market conditions. The
price of raw material plastic waste heavily depends upon the changes in oil,
which drives the price of virgin plastic
and causes changes in
the price of raw material plastic wastes. In 2008, cost of revenue increased
83.61% from 2007, primarily because of an increase in the volume of scrapped
plastic (i.e. raw materials) purchased by Guanwei. In 2008, 50,068 tons of raw
materials were purchased and imported by Guanwei, representing a 105.14%
increase from 24,406.80 tons of raw material purchased and imported in 2007.
Another factor behind the increase in cost of revenue is the price. In 2008, the
average purchase price of raw material was $528.56 per ton, representing an

The
purchase of raw material is fundamental to the recycling business. Nearly 100%
of the raw material purchased by Guanwei comes from the 5 suppliers listed
above. In order to cut costs and increase profit margins, Guanwei focuses
heavily on developing relationships with new suppliers and increasing amount of
raw material purchased directly from European recyclers, as opposed to
purchasing from a wholesaler. In 2008, the amount of raw material
purchased from our wholesaler in Hong Kong decreased to 28.2% of the total raw
material purchased, as compared to 64.26% in fiscal year 2007. Meanwhile,
Guanwei also developed long-term strategic relationships with some of the
largest raw material suppliers in Europe.
We will
continue to work on obtaining more favorable terms and discounts by
strengthening our relationship with suppliers and placing more bulk
orders.
Gross
Profit
Despite
the large decrease in the price of recycled LDPE since September 2008, Guanwei
achieved an 8.73% increase in gross profit of $5,138,184 in fiscal year 2008, as
compared to $4,725,798 in fiscal year 2007. During the same period, our gross
profit margin decreased to 20.20% in fiscal year 2008, down from 29.95% in
fiscal year 2007. This is due to the decrease in the sales price of
our products, which was caused by the financial crisis. The average selling
price per ton of recycled LDPE was $1,023.63 in the first quarter of 2008,
$1,131,99 in the second quarter, $1,048.88 in the third quarter and $890.18 in
the fourth quarter. As compared to the first nine months of 2008, the average
selling price in the fourth quarter of 2008 dropped over 20%, which caused a
large decrease in the overall gross profit margin.
The
selling price of recycled LDPE has been increasing since the first quarter of
2009. The average selling price per ton in the first quarter was $949.96 and
$995.71 in the second quarter, although the average selling price is still lower
than the same period in 2008. Due to the excess demand for recycled LDPE, we
believe that the selling price will show an increasing trend and our gross
margin will return back to normal levels.

Operating
expenses increased 22.16% for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $805,521 in
2007 to $984,000 in 2008. Sales and marketing expenses include
transportation, courier, advertising costs, and sales remunerations. The
decrease in sales and marketing expenses is primarily due to the enhanced
control over general sales and marketing costs such as transportation costs and
courier service expenses. Transportation costs are primarily incurred during the
delivery of the final products to our customers. Guanwei provides two
alternatives to customers: customers may either choose to pick up their products
with their own vehicles, in which case Guanwei will deduct the transportation
cost from the total sales price, or customers may choose to have Guanwei arrange
delivery, in which case the transportation
costs are categorized as operating expenses. In 2008,
transportation costs decreased 54.81% to $106,589, as compared to
$215,701incurred in 2007 due to the increased volume of customer arranged pick
up.
General
and administrative expenses primarily consist of management remuneration,
depreciation and amortization, and employee welfare costs. The increase in
general and administrative costs was primarily due to the increase of
depreciation and amortization amounts and increased employee welfare expenses.
As of February 2008, all employees entered into a pension fund plan and the
mandatory social insurance benefit for each employee increased, which resulted
in an increase in employee welfare expenses to $122,934.92 in 2008, as compared
to $750.34 in 2007.

Depreciation and amortization charges
increased 29.39% from $311,242 in 2007 to $402,711 in 2008, primarily due to the
increase in depreciation charge. The depreciation charge increased 34.32% from
$289,402 in 2007 to $388,739 in 2008. The increase in depreciation
charges is due to a $293,604 increase in the value of Guanwei’s buildings
to $4,669,830 as of December 31, 2008. Guanwei also purchased new
machinery, which increased the total machinery and equipment value to $687,091,
an increase of $68,935 from previous year. Total net value for property, plant
and equipment increased by $385,056 in fiscal year 2008.
We
utilize the straight line depreciation method, and the average life for general
office equipment and motor vehicles is 5 years; average life for plant and
machinery is 5 to 10 years; average life for building is 20 years. We
also utilize straight line amortization method for land use right. The land use
right is amortized over 50 years.

Our
operating income increased from $3,920,277 in 2007 to $4,154,185 in 2008,
representing an increase of 5.97%. Meanwhile, our revenue increased 61.18% for
the same period. The difference between the net revenue increase of
61.18% and the operating income increase of 5.97% was caused by the 52.43% sales
volume increase in 2008 and the 4.27% decrease of average selling price in 2008
as compared to 2007.
In order
to achieve a higher gross margin, the Company intends to enhance manufacturing
techniques and labor efficiencies. Meanwhile we plan to continue improving our
gross margin by strengthening relationships with our major suppliers to obtain
more favorable terms.
Intere
st Income and
Expense
The
Company’s interest income is generated by interest earned through bank deposits
and interest expenses are amounts paid in interest by the Company with respect
to its borrowings. Net interest expenses (interest expenses offset by interest
income) recorded were $93,867 in 2008, representing an increase of 24.88% from
$75,168 in 2007. The slight increase is primarily due to an increase
in interest expense as a result of an increase in primary interest
rate.
Guanwei
supports its operations with a combination of self-generated profit and limited
amount of bank loans. During the year 2007, the Company had one short-term bank
loan of $1.37 million with Bank of Communications, which matured and was paid on
January 16, 2008. The interest rate was 6.436%.
Exchange gains
(loss)
Exchange
rate gains increased by 44.49% to $232,998 in 2008, as compared to $161,260 in
2007, primarily due to the appreciation of RMB against USD for the respective
period. The average exchange rate between RMB and USD appreciated
8.55% from 7.6123 in 2007 to 6.9617 in 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
generally finance our operations through operating profit and occasionally
through short-term borrowings from banks. During the reporting periods, we
arranged one bank loan in 2007 of $1.37 million, which has since
matured, to satisfy our financing needs. As of the date of this Current
Report, we have not experienced any difficulties due to a shortage of capital
and we have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through bank loans,
and we have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our payables in
the normal course of business and repaying our bank loans when they come
due.
We
believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our
future development and accordingly, we may determine from time to time to raise
capital through private debt or equity financing to strengthen the Company’s
financial position, to expand our facilities and to provide us with additional
flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. No
assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising such additional
capital on terms acceptable to us.

Operating
Activities
During
fiscal year 2008, we generated net cash from operating activities of $938,357, a
decrease of 43.49% from $1,660,558 in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a
203.75% increase in inventory from $4,271,842 in 2007 to $12,975,877 in 2008.
The cash used by operating activities was offset in part by an increase in
accounts payable to $12,157,940 in 2008 from $4,344,733 in 2007,
representing an increase of 179.83%. This increase in payables was primarily due
to bulk procurement of raw material by Guanwei at the end of 2008.
Our
accounts payable increased to $7,405,560 for fiscal year 2008, as compared to
$1,319,360 for fiscal year 2007, representing an increase of 461.30%. The
increase is due to the increased volume of raw material purchased. For fiscal
year 2008, the total amount of raw material purchased was 50.067 tons, an
increase of 105.14% from the 24,407 tons purchased in 2007.
During
fiscal year 2008, net cash used by inventory was $8,287,451, an increase of
272.47% from $2,224,977 in fiscal year 2007. The increase is due to the
overstocking of approximately 25,000 tons of raw material by year end 2008.
Because the price of crude oil dropped from $140 per barrel in July 2008 to $40
per barrel in December 2008, the selling price of recycled LDPE decreased by
more than $250 per ton. In response to this market slowdown and sharp decrease
in selling price, Guanwei decided to slow down the manufacture of its products
until a projection of an increase in selling price.
Another
factor contributing to the decrease in net cash generated from operating
activities is the increase of prepayments of $1,227,356 in 2008 from $5,094 in
2007. The increase of prepayments was caused by increased in VAT recoverable due
to large purchases made in last quarter of 2008.
Investing
Activities
During
fiscal year 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $33,954, a sharp
decrease as compared to $1,727,052 net cash used in investing activities in
2007. This is primarily due to a one-time dividend paid in 2007 to
ex-shareholders of the Company in the amount of $788,199. Guanwei also invested
in the purchase of new machinery and equipments in 2007, which used net cash of
$938,853.
Financing
Activities
On
January 16, 2008, at the maturity of short-term bank loan, company repaid the
loan of $1,436,435, as compared to $1,186,239 of bank loan borrowed
from Bank of Communications in 2007.
During
fiscal year 2008, net cash used for financing activities was $1,436,435, as
compared to $1,186,239 provided by financing activities in 2007. The difference
is due to payments at maturity of short-term loans advanced by China
Communication Bank.
Working
Capital
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, our inventory increased to $12,975,877, as
compared to $4,271,842 at December 31, 2007. This increase was due to the sharp
decrease in the selling price of recycled LDPE, from $1,089.85 per ton in
January 2008 to $879.09 per ton in September 2008, and consequently, we decided
to slow the manufacture of our products until a projection of an
increase in selling price. Our management anticipated an increase in the
selling price of final products in 2009. In the first quarter of
2009, the average selling price of recycled LDPE increased to $949.95 per ton,
and further increased to an average of $976.66 per ton in the second quarter of
2009. Although still lower than the prices in the same periods of 2008,
management believes a further increase in the selling price of recycled
plastic will occur with the increasing oil price and virgin plastic
price.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, our accounts payable increased from
$4,344,733 as of December 31, 2007 to $12,157,940 as of December 31, 2008,
representing an increase of 179.83%. This was primarily the result of
growth in our imports of scrapped plastic.
For 2008,
working capital improved to $2,206,910, as compared to working
capital deficit of $1,326,942 in 2007. The Company aims to
continue to improve the level of its working capital through increasing
productivity levels and increased efficiency over costs while focusing on
increasing revenues.

Revenue
Our
revenues are derived from the sales of recycled LDPE. We also derive a
portion of our revenue from selling non-LDPE material. Guanwei only
manufactures LDPE, but the purchased raw material generally contains around 8%
of non-LDPE waste such as PE, PP or ABS. Guanwei sorts and classifies this
non-LDPE material and sells it to the other recycled plastic manufacturers of
that category.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net revenue was $30,447,450 and
$12,220,592, respectively, representing an increase of 149.15%. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in sales volume. The Company sold 23,471
tons of products in the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 124.78%
from 10,442 tons sold in the same period 2008. For the six months ended June 30,
2009, revenue generated from the sale of recycled LDPE was $22,649,780,
representing an increase of 93.34% from $11,715,071 generated in the same
period of 2008. Our sales of raw material to other plastic manufacturers also
increased to $7,797,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$505,521 sold in the same period of 2008, representing an increase of 1,542%.
This increase in revenue generated from the sale of raw material is due to
a direct sale of a total of 14,033 tons of raw material out of our inventory of
nearly 25,000 tons during the first quarter of 2009. Due to the low selling
price of recycled LDPE, the Company’s inventory was larger than normal at the
end of 2008. In order to increase cash flow, the Company sold 14,033 tons of raw
materials to other recycled LDPE manufacturers at average selling price of $533
per ton, which generated $7,488,370. The rest of the revenue generated from the
sale of scrapped raw material was derived from the sale of classified non-LDPE
raw material.
The
direct sale of raw material out of the Company’s inventory was one-time
occurrence in order to allow the Company to generate cash flow during the
financial crisis. The Company does not intend to make any other sales
of raw material out of inventory in the future.
For the
three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our revenue was $7,819,356 and
$6,511,973, respectively, representing an increase of 20.08%. The increase in
revenue was due to the increase in sales volume to 7,694 tons in the three
months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 5,536 tons sold in the same period of
2008, representing an increase of 38.98%. The increase in sales
volume exceeded the revenue increase because of the average selling
price per ton decreased by 12.17% to $996 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009, as compared to $1,134 for the same period of 2008.
Cost of
Revenue
Our cost
of revenue consists primarily of the price of importing of plastic waste as raw
material, over which the Company has limited control. In the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, the cost of revenue was $24,717,529 and $8,894,457,
respectively, representing 81.18% and 72.78% of the current period revenue,
respectively. The price of imported plastic waste is determined
solely by suppliers and is dependent upon market conditions. It also depends
heavily on the changes in oil prices. In six months ended June 30, 2009, cost of
revenue increased by 177.90% as compared to the same period
2008. This is primarily due to the increase in sales volume.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2009, our cost of revenue decreased by 14.61% to
$4,025,245, as compared to $4,714,035 for the same period in 2008. The volume of
raw material purchased slightly increased by 4.46% to 8,362 tons for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 8,005 tons for the same period
in 2008. The average purchase price of raw material dropped by 46.79% to $298
per ton in the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $560 per ton for
the same period in 2008.
We will
continue to work on obtaining more favorable terms and discounts by
strengthening our relationship with suppliers and placing more bulk
orders.
Gross
Profit
Our gross
profit increased 72.27% to $5,729,921 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as
compared to $3,326,135 for the same period in 2008, although our gross margin
decreased to 18.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 27.22%
for the same period in 2008 due to the lower selling price of recycled
LDPE. The financial crisis heavily impacted the sales price,
resulting in a 16.35% decrease in the average selling price of recycled
LPDE
during the
first 2 quarters of 2009. Another factor contributing to the lower gross profit
was the direct sale of 14,033 tons scrapped raw material from our inventory at a
low cost, which decreased the overall average selling price.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2009, our gross profit increased sharply by 111.03%
to $3,794,111 as compared to $1,797,938 in the same period of 2008. The increase
in the gross profit was caused by the 38.98% increase in sales volume and 14.61%
decrease in the cost of revenue.
Since the
first quarter of 2009, the sales price of recycled LDPE has been steadily
increasing. The average selling price in the first quarter was
$949.96 per ton and $995.71 in the second quarter. Although the
average selling price during the first half of 2009 is still lower than the same
period in 2008, the Company believes that high demand for recycled LDPE will
continue and our gross margin will return to previous levels.

General
and administration expenses mainly include management remuneration, depreciation
and amortization, and employee welfare costs. Our general and administrative
expenses increased slightly, by 10.87% to $384,352 in the six months ended June
30, 2009, as compared to $346,682 for the same period in 2008. In the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the Company recruited four new members of the management
team to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our accounting team, so
employee welfare and management remuneration costs increased
accordingly.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009,
total depreciation charges were recorded at $196,746, and total amortization
charges were $7,108. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total depreciation
charges were $192,145, and total amortization charges were $6,913. We
utilize the straight line depreciation method, under which the average life for
general office equipment and motor vehicles is 5 years, 5 to 10 years for plants
and machinery, and 20 years for buildings. We also utilize the
straight line amortization method for land use rights, which are amortized over
50 years.
Sales and
marketing expenses include transportation, courier, advertising and sales costs.
The increase
in
sales and marketing expenses is primarily due to the increase of transportation
cost. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales volume increased 124.77% as
compared to the same period 2008. Consquently, transportation costs for the
delivery of finished products increased from $37,925 in the six
months ended June 30, 2008 to $245,954 for the same period in 2009,
representing an increase of 5.49 times. Guanwei provides two delivery options:
(i) customers can use their own vehicle for the pick up and the transportation
cost will be deducted from the selling price, or, (ii) if the customers require
Guanwei to take care of the delivery, the transportation cost will be recorded
in the sales & marketing expenses. Guanwei does not charge extra for the
delivery.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses increased 82.22% to
$490,014 in 2009, as compared to $268,916 in the same period 2008. The increase
was primarily due to the 370.51% increase in sales and marketing expenses. In
the three months ended June 30, 2009, total sales volume increased 38.98% to
7,694 tons, and most of the customers opted for Guanwei to deliver their
purchased products, which increased the transportation cost to $245,954 during
the second quarter of 2009, as compared to $29,506 for the same period in 2007,
representing an increase of 7.34 times. Guanwei does not have the control over
transportation cost as the customer has the choice of electing self-delivery
with the associated transportation cost deduction from the purchase price
or electing for Guanwei to be responsible for the transportation. Guanwei
does not charge extra on the transportation.

Our
operating income significantly increased from $2,879,391 in six months ended
June 30, 2008 to $5,009,864 in six months ended June 30, 2009, representing an
increase of 73.99%. This is primarily due to the substantial increase
in sales volume, leading to increased net revenue. Beginning in 2009,
particularly in the second quarter, net revenue began increasing because the
market price of recycled LDPE steadily increased. The average selling
price in the second quarter was $994.66, which is approximately 5% higher than
the average selling price in the first quarter. Although sales prices are still
approximately 10% lower than the average selling price from the second quarter
of 2008, management of the Company believes the upward trend is encouraging and
will continue.
In order
to maintain healthy cash flow, Guanwei sold a portion of its inventory to other
recycled LDPE manufacturers. In the six months ended June 30, 2009,
the Company sold a total of 14,033 tons of direct raw material and generated
$7,488,370 in revenue from the sale. This sale of inventory was a
one-time transaction taken to strengthen company’s cash position during the
financial crisis. Guanwei does not intend to increase the direct
sales of raw material in the future.
In order
to achieve a higher gross profit margin, the Company intends to enhance its
manufacturing techniques and labor efficiencies, while continuing to strengthen
our relationships with our major suppliers to obtain more favorable
terms.
Interest Income and
Expense
The
Company’s interest income is generated from interest earned on bank
deposits. Its interest expenses are amounts paid in interest with
respect to its borrowings. Net interest expenses (interest expenses
offset by interest income) were recorded at $34,074 in the six months ended June
30, 2009, representing a decrease of 21.77% from $43,558 in the same period of
2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid $20,827
interest expenses, as compared to $24,087 in interest expenses incurred for the
same period of 2008, representing a decrease of 13.53%. The decrease for
both the six and three month periods is primarily due to the decrease in primary
interest rates, which fell from 7.64% in June 2008 to 5.94% in June
2009.
Exchange Gain
(Loss)
In the
six months ended June 30, 2009, Guanwei did not incur any exchange gain or loss.
For six months ended June 30, 2008, company recorded an exchange gain of
$273,428.
In the
three months ended June 30, 2009, Guanwei did not incur any exchange gain or
loss. For three months ended June 30, 2008, company recorded an exchange gain of
$98,098.
The RMB
to US dollar exchange rate is currently around 6.84. In the six
months ended June 30, 2008, RMB appreciated 4.82% from 7.26 to 6.91. From April
to June 2008, RMB appreciated 1.43% from 7.01 to 6.91. The appreciation of RMB
induced the exchange gain in 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
believe our financial resources are a significant factor in the success of our
future development and accordingly, we may decide from time to time to raise
capital through private debt or equity financing in order to strengthen the
Company’s financial position, to expand our facilities and to provide us with
additional flexibility to take advantage of business
opportunities. No assurances can be given that we will be successful
in raising such additional capital on terms acceptable to us.

Operating
activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, we generated net cash from operating
activities of $7,993,015, a tremendous increase of 275.89% from $2,126,407 from
the same period in 2008. This substantial increase is due primarily to
prepayment and inventories.
In the
beginning of 2009, the market began to recover from the financial crisis and the
selling price of recycled LDPE started to increase. Our sales in volume
increased, and prepayment for our products increased accordingly. In the six
months ended June 30, 2009, the total net cash provided by prepayment received
from customers was $1,153,148, which is approximately 14.93 times higher than
the $72,373 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the decreased in VAT
recoverable for the increase in sales.
Net cash
provided by inventory was $9,833,881 in six months ended June 30, 2009, as
compared to net cash used of $58,490 as June 30, 2008. The
substantial increase was due to the 124.78% sales volume increase and to the
direct sale of 14,033 tons of scrapped raw material out of inventory during the
six months ended June 30, 2009.
Net cash
used for accounts payable increased to $7,933,428 in the six months ended June
30, 2009, as compared to $628,838 used in the six months ended June 30, 2008,
representing an increase of 1,161%. This was primarily due to the Company’s
significant purchases of raw materials in late 2008. Taking advantage of the low
raw materials prices in 2008, the Company had accumulated more than 25,000 tons
of scrapped raw material by year end, resulting in historically high levels of
accounts payable. During the first two quarters of 2009, the Company had been
paying down this accounts payable balance, leading to the sharp increase in net
cash used for accounts payable. By June 30, 2009, the Company’s raw material
purchases and recycled LDPE sales returned to normal levels.
Inv
esting
Activities
At our
annual shareholders meeting and board of directors meeting on March 11, 2009, a
dividend payment that was announced in 2008 to the former shareholders of
Guanwei was ratified. Chenxin approved the dividends payment on the
same day. A total of $4,409,934 had been paid in dividends to these
shareholders. As result, net cash used in investing activities increased to
$4,434,066 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net cash of
$39,573 used for the purchase of equipment in the six months ended June 30,
2008.
Financing
Activities
The
Company renewed a bank loan in the amount of $1,417,615 with the interest rate
of 5.94%, which resulted in the net cash flow generated by financing activities
increasing to $1,417,615 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$42,641 net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30,
2008.
Working
Capital
During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, our inventory decreased to $3,163,149, as
compared to $12,975,877 as of December 31, 2008. This sharp decrease of 75.62%
was due to the increase in sales price of recycled LDPE products because of the
market recovery.
Our
accounts payable decreased from $12,157,940 as of December 31, 2008 to
$4,243,898 as of June 30, 2009, representing a decrease of 2.86 times. This
large decrease in accounts payable was due to the fact that as of year end 2008,
the Company had accumulated more than 25,000 tons of scrapped raw material,
resulting in historically high levels of accounts payable. By June 30, 2009, the
raw material purchases and recycled LDPE sales recovered to normal levels, which
caused the decrease of accounts payable.
For the
six months ended June 30 2009, working capital was $471,044 as
compared to $2,206,910 as for December 31, 2008. The Company aims to
improve its level of working capital by enhancing productivity, increasing
revenue and by efficiently controlling costs.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We do not
have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet
guarantees, interest rate swap transactions of foreign currency forward
contracts. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and
development services with us.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest
Rates Risk
Our
exposure to interest rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to the interest-bearing bank loans and interest income generated by the bank
deposits. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our
investment portfolio or for cash management purposes. Interest-earning
instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed nor
do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest
rates. However, our future interest expense or interest income may expect to be
increased due to changes in interest rates in the PRC.
Foreign
Exchange Rates Risk
We do not
hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Because most of our purchases and sales are made in RMB, any exchange rate
change affecting the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar could have an
effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the RMB were to
depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be
correspondingly reduced. If the RMB were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar,
amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly
increased.
DESCRIPTION
OF PROPERTIES
All land
in China is owned by the State. Individuals and companies are permitted to
acquire rights to use land or land use rights for specific purposes at no cost.
In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are
granted for a period of fifty (50) years. This period may be renewed at the
expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Granted land use rights are
transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other
obligations.
The
Company has land use rights to approximately 42,500 square meters of land
located at Taicheng Farm in Fuqing City. This land use right expires
July 26, 2056. Guanwei houses a large, 60,000 square meter warehouse
and manufacturing facility, in which it conducts all its manufacturing
processes, on this land. The facility has a sewage treatment facility
that is able to filter and process the waste products resulting from the
manufacturing. The current production capacity of the manufacturing facilities
is 50,000 tons per year. With additional machinery, the production
capacity could be increased to 65,000 tons annually without the need for
expanding the production facility areas. Currently, the company
produces over 30,600 tons of end product annually.

Also
in November 2008, Chen Min entered into a trust agreement with Banks

Limited in trust for Chen Min. Chen Min retains investment and voting
control over such shares, and accordingly he is the indirect beneficial
owner of the shares of our Common Stock held by Fresh Generation Overseas

Each of
the executive officers of the Company has entered into standard employment
contracts with Guanwei, a form of which is attached as an exhibit to this
Current Report as Exhibit 10.5. The contracts have 3-year terms and are
otherwise consistent with the standard form prescribed by the Fujian Labor and
Social Security Administration. The amounts listed in the table above were paid
by Guanwei. We have no stock option, retirement, pension or profit-sharing
programs for the benefit of directors, officers or other employees, but our
Board of Directors may recommend adoption of one or more such programs in the
future.
None of
the directors or officers have any stock options.
Executive
Compensation
Guanwei’s
compensation
program is designed to provide its executive officers with competitive
remuneration and to reward their efforts and contributions to the Company.
Elements of compensation for our executive officers include base salary and cash
bonuses.
The level
of compensation is determined based upon the business experience of our
directors and management and anecdotal information obtained by them regarding
compensation paid to similarly situated employees within the region. At this
time, Guanwei has not yet established formal compensation metrics based upon
performance of the executive or the company, nor has Guanwei engaged in a
benchmarking process to determine compensation levels.
Cash
bonuses may also be awarded to our executives on a discretionary basis at any
time.
Director
Compensation
Guanwei
did not provide any compensation to its directors in the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008. The Company may establish certain compensation plans
(e.g. options, cash for attending meetings, etc.) with respect to directors in
the future.
Prior to
the Share Exchange Marshall Davis, the sole director and officer of MDHO was not
receiving compensation for his services.
Employment
Agreements
Guanwei
has a labor contract with each employee as required by law in the PRC. The labor
contract mainly includes working content, contract period, working time, payment
and other terms.
Benefit
Plans
MDHO has
no stock option, retirement, pension or profit-sharing programs for the benefit
of its directors, officers or other employees; however our Board may recommend
the adoption of one or more such programs in the future.
In accordance with Chinese law, Guanwei
offers a welfare program pursuant to which it pays pension, accident, medical,
birth, job and house allowance payments for all contract employees of
Guanwei.
CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Audit,
Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Compensation Committees
Currently, MDHO does not have
separately-designated standing audit, corporate governance and nominating, or
compensation committees. Functions customarily performed by such committees are
performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. Our company is not
required to maintain such committees under the rules applicable to companies
listed on the OTCBB. We intend to create board committees, including
an independent audit committee, in the near future. If we are
successful in listing our common stock on NASDAQ, we would be required to have
such committees under the NASDAQ rules.
Code
of Ethics
MDHO does
not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to its executive officers,
however the Board of Directors plans to adopt a Code of Ethics in the near
future.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On the

Exchange, the Stockholder beneficially owns sixty percent (60%)
of the voting capital
stock of MDHO. All the shares of the Stockholder are held in trust for Chen Min,
the President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Guanwei. Upon the

resigned from each of
his officer positions with the MDHO and Chen Min was appointed to serve as
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of MDHO. Additionally, Yang
Feng
was appointed

connection with the change of control of the Registrant that is described in
this Current Report. Upon the execution of the Exchange Agreement, Chen Min
was appointed to the
Board of Directors of MDHO and not earlier than ten (10) days following the
mailing of such Information Statement to the stockholders of MDHO, Mr. Davis’s
resignation as a director will become effective and the remaining seven
directors shall be appointed to the Board (as detailed in Item 5.02 herein
below).
Purchase
Agreement
Simultaneously with the consummation of
the Share Exchange, Marshall Davis entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“

however, reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and these
statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, MDHO’s Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to MDHO’s SEC
filings. There are no provisions in MDHO’s Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our
control.
Common
Stock
Except as
otherwise required by applicable law and subject to the preferential rights of
the any outstanding preferred stock, all voting rights are vested in and
exercised by the holders of Common Stock with each share of Common Stock being
entitled to one (1) vote. In the event of liquidation, holders of Common Stock
are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after
payment of liabilities, if any. Holders of Common Stock have no cumulative
voting rights. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other rights to
subscribe for shares. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as
may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available
therefor.
Preferred

The Board
of Directors is empowered, without further action by stockholders, to issue from
time to time one or more series of preferred stock, with such designations,
rights, preferences and limitations as the Board may determine by resolution.
The rights, preferences and limitations of separate series of preferred stock
may differ with respect to such matters among such series as may be determined
by the Board, including, without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and
nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on
liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any) and
voting rights. Certain issuances of preferred stock may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that some stockholders
may believe is not in their interest.
Penny
Stock Rules
Our
Common Stock is subject to the penny stock rules which impose significant
restrictions on the Broker-Dealers and may affect the resale of our stock. A
penny stock is generally a stock that:
|
¨
|
is
not listed on a national securities exchange or
NASDAQ,
|
|
¨
|
is
listed in “pink sheets” or on the
OTC,
|
|
¨
|
has
a price per share of less than $5.00,
and
|
|
¨
|
is
issued by a company with net tangible assets less than
$5,000,000.
|
The penny
stock trading rules impose additional duties and responsibilities upon
broker-dealers and salespersons effecting purchase and sale transactions in
common stock and other equity securities, including:
|
¨
|
determination
of the purchaser's investment
suitability,
|
|
¨
|
delivery
of certain information and disclosures to the purchaser
and
|
|
¨
|
receipt
of a specific purchase agreement from the purchaser prior to effecting the
purchase transaction.
|
Many
broker-dealers will not effect transactions in penny stocks, except on an
unsolicited basis, in order to avoid compliance with the penny stock trading
rules. In the event our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock trading
rules, such rules may materially limit or restrict the ability to resell our
common stock and the liquidity typically associated with other publicly traded
equity securities may not exist.

Warrants

Options
There are
no options to purchase our securities outstanding. We may in the future
establish an incentive stock option plan for our directors, employees and
consultants.

MARKET
PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S
COMMON
EQUITY AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our
Common Stock has been listed on the OTCBB under the symbol “MDHO”
since August 14, 2008. There has been an extremely limited public market for our
Common Stock. As of the date of this Current Report, and following the
consummation
of the Share Exchange, 20,000,001
shares of our Common Stock were issued
and outstanding.
When the
trading price of our Common Stock is below US$5.00 per share, the Common Stock
is considered to be a “penny stock” that is subject to rules promulgated by the
SEC (Rule 15-1 through 15g-9) under the Exchange Act. These rules impose
significant requirements on brokers under these circumstances, including:
(a) delivering to customers the SEC’s standardized risk disclosure
document; (b) providing customers with current bid and ask prices;
(c) disclosing to customers the brokers-dealer’s and sales representatives
compensation; and (d) providing to customers monthly account
statements.
The
following table sets forth on a per share basis for the periods shown, the high
and low closing bid prices of our Common Stock. The quotations reflect
inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not
represent actual transactions.

The high
and low bid quotations for the Common Stock as of November 5, 2009
were $0.02857 and $
0.02857
, respectively. The

Dividends
Dividends, if any, will be contingent
upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial
conditions. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of
the Board. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our
business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any
cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We have not paid any cash dividends
on our Common Stock.
Holders
of Common Equity
As of the date of this Current Report
and following the
consummation
of the Share Exchange, MDHO has
issued 20,000,001 shares of our
Common Stock to 19
holders.
The Company believes that it has more
stockholders since many of its shares are held in “street” name. See also the
“Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above for a
table setting forth (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of
five percent (5%) or more of our Common Stock and (b) all directors and officers
individually and all directors and officers as a group as of the date of this
Report, after giving effect to the Exchange.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
As of the
date of this Current Report, we have no compensation plans (including
individual compensation arrangements) under which MDHO’s equity securities are
authorized for issuance.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
As of the
date hereof, there is no pending or outstanding material litigation with respect
to the Company.
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Nevada law authorizes, and our Bylaws
provide for, indemnification of our directors and officers against claims,
liabilities, amounts paid in settlement and expenses in a variety of
circumstances. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have 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.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
We are
obligated to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The public
may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public
Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 on official
business days during the hours of 10am and 3pm. The public may obtain
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy
and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is
http://www.sec.gov
.
We also
maintain a website at
http://www.guanweirecycling.com
. We plan to make available in the near future on our website our Annual Reports
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K,
and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after we
electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. Until the
posting of such reports on our website, we will voluntarily provide electronic
or paper copies of our filings free of charge upon written request to the
Company at our principal executive offices.
Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.
On November 5, 2009, pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, MDHO transferred to Marshall Davis all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of MD Mortgage Corporation, the wholly-owned
subsidiary of MDHO. The consideration for such transfer was the delivery for
cancellation of 64,510,540 shares of our Common Stock held by Mr. Davis. The
issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
On
November 5, 2009, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, MDHO issued 12
million shares of our Common Stock to Fresh Generation Overseas Limited, a
British Virgin Islands company (the “Stockholder”). The consideration for such
issuance was the transfer by the Stockholder of all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Hongkong Chenxin International Development Limited,
a Hong Kong corporation. The issuance was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, as a transaction by an issuer
not involving a public offering.
Item 5.01
Change in Control of
Registrant
On the
Closing Date of the Exchange Agreement, MDHO acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Chenxin from the Stockholder in exchange for the
issuance by the Company to the Stockholder of an aggregate of 12 million
newly-issued shares of
Common Stock. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Stockholder
beneficially owns an aggregate of sixty percent (60%) of the voting capital
stock of MDHO. Upon the execution of the Exchange Agreement, Marshall Davis
resigned from each of
his officer positions with the Registrant and Chen Min was appointed to serve as
Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant. Marshall Davis’ resignation as a
director of the Registrant, and the appointment of Howard Barth, Wang Rui, Wang
Changzhu, Qin Jingshou, Chen Qijie, You Jianli, and Gao Juguang to serve as
Board members of the Registrant, shall become effective on the 10
th

following the Information Filing Date (as detailed in Item 5.02 herein
below).
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Principal
Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal
Officers
On the
Closing Date, Marshall Davis resigned from each of his officer positions with
the Registrant, and Chen Min was appointed as a director and Chief Executive

Act, Mr. Davis’ resignation as a director shall become effective and Howard
Barth, Wang Rui, Wang Changzhu, Qin Jingshou, Chen Qijie, You Jianli, and Gao
Juguang shall serve as directors of the Registrant, with Chen Min serving
as Chairman of the Board. For further information on these individuals, please
see the Section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons” herein above.
Item 5.06
Change in Shell Company’s
Status
Prior to
the Closing Date, MDHO was a shell company, other than a business combination
related shell company, as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange
Act.
Upon
completion of the Exchange, MDHO ceased being a shell company. From and after
the Closing Date, the operations of Chenxin and Guanwei are the only operations
of MDHO.
Item
8.01 Other Events
On
November 5, 2009, prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange discussed
elsewhere in this Current Report, the Registrant effected a 3.5 for 1 forward
split (the “
Forward
Split
”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“
Common Stock
”). The
number of shares of authorized Common Stock and the par value did not
change as a result of the Forward Split.
The
record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the Forward
Split shares was November 2, 2009. As a result of the Forward Split, all
shareholders of record on November 2, 2009 received three and one half (3½)
shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Common Stock they held on that
date. On November 5, 2009, the Registrant’s transfer agent will cause to be
issued and mailed to the eligible shareholders of record, two and one half
(2½) additional shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held by
such shareholders, thereby effectuating the Forward Split on a 3.5:1
basis.
Consummation
of the Forward Split did not result in a change in the relative equity
position or voting power of the shareholders of the Registrant.
Additionally, there was no change in the Registrant’s CUSIP number for
the Common Stock or the Registrant’s trading symbol on the OTCBB as a result of
the Forward Split. The Forward Split resulted in the increase the number of
shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock issued and outstanding to
72,510,141.
Immediately
following the consummation of the Forward Split, 64,510,140 shares of Common
Stock held by Marshall Davis, the Registrant’s principal stockholder, were
cancelled pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement discussed in Item 2.01 above.
Following the consummation of the Share Exchange and as of the date of this
Current Report, 20,000,001 shares of our Common Stock are issued and
outstanding.
