Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
Reference
is made to the disclosure made under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form
8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or
Disposition of Assets.
On
November 13, 2009, Hamptons completed the acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of Cantix from China Polypeptide Group, Ltd.
(“CPG”) pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and
between Hamptons, Cantix and CPG. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
Hamptons issued to CPG 1,100,000 shares of Hamptons’ common stock, $.0001
par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
capital stock of Cantix (the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange (i)
Cantix became the wholly owned subsidiary of Hamptons, and (ii) CPG became
a stockholder of Hamptons, owning approximately 88% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
As a
result of the Exchange, our principal business became the business of Cantix,
who, through its PRC-based indirect operating subsidiaries Wuhan Anti-Aging and
Tallyho, engage in the research and development, manufacturing and marketing of
polypeptide-based nutritional supplements and health
foods. Polypeptides are small molecular structures consisting of
10-50 amino acids and have been found to have high nutritional value and support
body functions such as regulating immunological functions in
humans.
Our board
of directors (the “Board”) as well as the directors and a majority of the
stockholders of CPG, each approved the Exchange Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereunder.
Effective
November 13, 2009, John Delaney resigned as the Company’s President, Chief
Executive Officer, and as a director, and Brien Reidy resigned as Vice President
and Secretary of the Company. Concurrently therewith, Dongliang Chen,
Shengfan Yan, Lirong Hu were appointed to the Company’s board of directors
and Dongliang Chen was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board, Shengfan Yan was appointed President, Lirong Hu was appointed Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer and Jun Li was appointed Secretary.
Item
2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that if a registrant reporting a transaction under
Item 2.01 was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under the Exchange Act), prior to such transaction, the registrant
must disclose the information that would be required if it were filing a general
form for securities registration on Form 10. Please note that the
information provided below relates to the Company after the
Exchange. Since Hamptons’ operations after the Exchange will
consist solely of CPG’s operations, the following discussion of our business and
operations will refer to CPG’s business and operations.

Overview
of Our Business
Hamptons
Hamptons
is a development stage company incorporated in Delaware in March 2007 with no
material assets or operations. Hamptons was formed to engage in the
design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of surfboards and related
equipment. Since its inception, Hamptons has generated no
revenues. Hampton’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol HMEX. After the Exchange,
Hamptons became the sole owner of Cantix, and it adopted the business
of Cantix.
Cantix
Cantix,
through its PRC-based indirect operating subsidiaries, Tallyho and Wuhan
Anti-Aging is primarily engaged in the research and development,
manufacturing and marketing of polypeptide-based nutritional supplements and
health foods. Polypeptides are small molecular structures consisting
of 10-50 amino acids that have been found to have nutritional value and support
body functions such as regulating immunological functions in
humans. We focus on enzyme engineering in order to produce
macromolecular protein structures in the form of certain functional peptides for
use as nutritional additives and supplements. Our key products
include Polypeptide Protein Powder, which has been approved by the PRC State
Food and Drug Administration (the “SFDA”), and Shenguo Polypeptide Capsules,
which has been approved by the provincial Administration of Health of Hubei and
is in the process of gaining SFDA approval. We currently manufacture
and market lipid lowering soy peptide products in China, using our patented
processing methods. Our products
are sold to retail consumers directly and enterprises, through an established
global network of distributors and retailers. Most of our products
are manufactured in our owned and operated production facilities located in
China. Some of our nutritional supplements and personal care products are
manufactured for us through contractual relationships with other manufacturing
companies, in accordance with our own proprietary formulations.
Cantix’s
sales revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were
$35,590,341 and $1,970,673, respectively, and net income was $10,240,474 and
$43,162, respectively. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008,
$28,947,346.91, or 81.33%, of Cantix’s sales revenue, was generated from sales
of its Polypeptide Protein Powder.
Background
of Cantix
Cantix was
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a startup stage company on January
29, 2007. Prior to the reverse acquisition described below, Cantix
was wholly-owned by Ablepeak International Limited (“Ablepeak”), a British
Virgin Islands company that is owned and controlled by Mr. Choi Fat Siu, its
sole shareholder. On January 1, 2008, Mr. Siu granted an option to
the founders of Tallyho and Wuhan Anti-Aging to purchase all of his ownership
interest in Ablepeak for an exercise price of $20,000. The option is
exercisable on or after July 15, 2009. As of November 13, 2009, the option
has not been exercised.
Cantix’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Moneyeasy, is a Hong Kong business organization that
was incorporated as a startup stage company on August 25, 2006. On
November 5, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into an equity purchase agreement, to
acquire all the equity interest of Tallyho for RMB 40,230,000 (approximately
$5,388,788). Tallyho was organized under the laws of the PRC on
November 28, 1996 under the name of Wuhan XinRongxin Biological Product Co.,
Ltd. The name was changed to its current name on January 6,
1999. Tallyho’s scope of business includes research and development,
production and sale of biological and nutritional
supplements. Tallyho’s business license is valid through December 24,
2037.
An
Approval for Establishment of Enterprise with Investments from Taiwan, Hong
Kong, Macao and Overseas Chinese was issued by the People’s Government of Wuhan
Municipality (the “Wuhan Municipality”), on November 27, 2007, in connection
with Moneyeasy’s acquisition of Tallyho. The transaction was also
approved by the Wuhan City Bureau of Commerce (the “WCBC”), subject to the PRC
Regulations on Merger with and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign
Investors (the “Merger Regulations”), which require the equity interest transfer
price to be paid in full by a date certain (July 26, 2008), or in the absence of
such express date, within one (1) year commencing from the issuance of the new
business license. On March 25, 2008, a renewed Business License was
issued by the Wuhan Administration for Industry and Commerce (the “Wuhan AIC”),
and Tallyho was converted into a wholly foreign owned enterprise.
On
December 18, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into another equity purchase agreement to
acquire all the capital of Wuhan Anti-Aging for RMB 8,000,000
(approximately $1,095,000). Wuhan Anti-Aging was organized under the
laws of the PRC on June 27, 2007. Its primary business is research
and development of protein and polypeptide anti-aging biological products, sales
and distribution of developed products. Wuhan Anti-Aging’s business
license is valid through June 13, 2037.
3
Wuhan
Anti-Aging received the Certificate of Approval issued by the Wuhan Municipality
on December 29, 2007, and a renewed Business License from the Wuhan AIC on
January 3, 2008. The acquisition of Wuhan Anti-Aging pursuant to the
Anti-Aging Equity Purchase Agreement was closed on January 3, 2008 and Wuhan
Anti-Aging became a wholly foreign owned enterprise. The transaction
contemplated by the Wuhan Anti-Aging Equity Purchase Agreement was approved by
the WCBC, subject to the Merger Regulations. However, in this case,
the WCBC did not specify an exact date on which the full purchase price has to
be paid for the transferred equity. As such, pursuant to the Merger
Regulations, Moneyeasy was not required to pay the full purchase price under the
agreement for one (1) year, commencing from the issue of the new business
license (i.e. January 2, 2009). Effective October 30, 2009, Moneyeasy the
full purchase price has been paid.
On
November 13, 2007, Tallyho established its operating PRC subsidiary, Guangdong
Haopu Polypeptide Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (“Haopu”) and contributed
$1,347,346 to Haopu. Haopu specializes in service-based sales of
health and anti-aging products.
Prior
Reverse Acquisition
On July
28, 2008, CPG completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share
exchange with Ablepeak and Cantix, whereby CPG issued to Ablepeak 55,487,956
shares of its common stock, $.001 par value, in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of Cantix. Cantix thereby became CPG’s
wholly-owned subsidiary and its four direct and indirect subsidiaries,
Moneyeasy, Tallyho, Wuhan Anti-Aging and Haopu became CPG’s indirect
subsidiaries. On July 28, 2008, CPG changed its name from “TSI Services,
Inc.” to “China Polypeptide Group Ltd.” to more accurately reflect its new
business operations as described herein.
As a
result of the reverse acquisition, on July 28, 2008, all of the then officers
and directors of CPG resigned and Dongliang Chen was appointed Chief Executive
Officer, Shengfan Yan was appointed President, and Lirong Hu was appointed Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer of CPG. On the same day, the board of directors
appointed Dongliang Chen, Shengfan Yan, Lirong Hu, Leung Miu Ching and Xinfeng
Liang to serve as members of the board of directors of CPG, with Dongliang Chen
serving as Chairman of the board of directors.
Our
Industry and Market Trends
Our
products are targeted for use in the nutritional health supplements
industry, the anti-aging industry, the cosmetics industry and other health
care industries.
Nutritional
Health Supplements Industry
We
believe that the nutritional health supplements industry is currently made up of
many small and medium-sized companies that manufacture and distribute products
generally intended to, or marketed for the purpose of, maintaining, and
sometimes improving, the body’s health and general well being. We
believe that in 2007, sales of nutritional health supplements in China reached
$75 billion. According to the China Personal Health and
Supplemental Industry 2005 Survey (the “2005 Health
Survey”), the annual growth rate of health supplement consumption in China lies
between 15% and 30%, compared to around 13% in other developed
countries.
According
to the China Enterprises Association, there are currently over 3,000
manufacturers of health supplement products in China, with an annual production
value of over $6.25 billion. Of these manufacturers, large
enterprises with over $12.5 million in registered capital only account for
1.45%, medium-sized enterprises with registered capital of under $12.5 million,
but over $6.25 million, make up 38%, and workshop-style enterprises with below
$12,500 in registered capital make up 12.5% of the total number of
manufacturers. According to the 2005 Health Survey, sales of health supplement
products in China are expected to reach RMB70 billion (approximately $8.75
billion) in 2009, with a compounded annual growth rate of 15.24%.
In a move
to encourage the development and commercialization of polypeptide technology,
the PRC’s Science and Technology Institute has formally recognized polypeptide
product technology as proprietary intellectual property. As such, polypeptide
product technology may be protected by Chinese intellectual property law even if
such technology is not patented. As a result, polypeptide companies
such as ours have instituted strict measures to protect their product technology
from being misappropriated.
Anti-aging
Industry
According
to a report by the US Census Bureau issued in April 2005, the number of
seniors over 65 years old is increasing at an annual rate of 2.5%. Statistics
and predictions from the World Health Organization estimate that the elderly
population will reach two billion by 2050.
A report
published by Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China in October
2004, disclosed that the number of residents of China with chronic
non-communicable diseases is rising rapidly as a result of unhealthy lifestyle.
It was also reported that the prevalence of hypertension was increasing and that
out of 160 million patients in China, the rate of hypertension in residents over
eighteen years old was 18.8%. In addition, only 30.2% patients with hypertension
knew were aware of that they suffered from hypertension, and the treatment rate
and control rate were 24.7% and 6.1% respectively. The report also showed that
chronic diseases replaced infectious diseases as a major cause of death of
residence in China.
4
We
believe that due to lifestyle changes, deterioration of the environment, and
increasing life expectancy of Chinese citizens, the demand for nutritional
supplements and health foods is growing in China.
We
believe that anti-aging medicine has become one of the most important and
extensive service areas in the medical industry. The service includes general
medical care, medicines for chronic disease and anti-aging purposes. We believe
that currently, anti-aging service accounts for more than 50% of all the medical
service.
Cosmetic
Industry
We
believe that the cosmetics products and services industry has been one of
the fastest growing industries in China over past 10 years. According to an
investment analysis and forecast report on Chinese cosmetics market issued by
Chinese Investment Consultant on 2008, from 2009 to 2021, the sales of the
cosmetics market are expected to increase annually by more than 20%, with a
maximum growth rate of 41%. It is expected that the annual sale of the cosmetics
will amount to RMB 800 billion with an annual increase rate of 8.9%; the planned
sale from 2010 to 2015 will amount to RMB 1100 billion with an annual increase
rate of 6.22%.
We
believe that the global nutrition and health care products market increased from
$392 billion in 1999 to $750 billion in 2007. We also believe that the nutrition
and health care market in the USA increased from $171 billion in 2002 to $300
billion in 2007. We believe that this market is expected to reach
$400 billion in 2010 with annual increases of more than 10%. According to a
Chinese health care market investigation report, the health care industries
in China is expected to increase from $100 billion in 2007 to $150 billion in
2010, with an annual increases of more than 15%.
Our
Products
Through
our operating subsidiaries in China, we are engaged in research, development,
production and sale of polypeptide-based nutritional supplements and health
foods and we believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of these products
in China. Our key products include Polypeptide Protein Powder, which
has been approved by the PRC State Food and Drug Administration (the “SFDA”),
and Shenguo Polypeptide Capsules, which has been approved by the provincial
Administration of Health of Hubei and is in the process of gaining SFDA
approval. We currently manufacture and market lipid lowering soy
peptide products in China, using our patented processing methods. Our products are sold to
retail consumers directly and enterprises, through an established global network
of distributors and retailers. Most of our products are manufactured
in our owned and operated production facilities located in China. Some of
our nutritional supplements and personal care products are manufactured for us
through contractual relationships with other manufacturing companies, in
accordance with our own proprietary formulations.
Polypeptides
are small molecular structures consisting of 10-50 amino acids that have been
found to have nutritional value and support body functions such as regulating
immunological functions in humans. We focus on enzyme engineering in
order to produce macromolecular protein structures in the form of certain
functional peptides for use as nutritional additives and
supplements.
Research
studies conducted by scientists at Hanyang University in Korea, the University
of Milan and the University of California (Davis), found that soy protein
peptide extracted from certain soybeans could inhibit the growth of metastatic
tumor cells, that the addition of soy protein to the diet could have the effect
of lowering total cholesterol concentrations in the body, and that soybean
peptide may prevent cancer from occurring in cultured cells and
animals. Polypeptide can be extracted from the tissues and organs of
animals and plants and processed in powder, capsule/tablet or injection form for
internal use, or as creams and lotions for topical use. Our
polypeptide-based products are produced in powder and capsule/tablet form.
Different combination of polypeptides may be combined with other nutritional
factors to form different products with different benefits.
We have
built our reputation on developing formulas that blend the best of nature with
innovative techniques from nutrition science, to appeal to the growing base of
consumers desiring a healthier lifestyle and seeking differentiated nutritional
supplement and health food products. Our products are manufactured
using our proprietary processing methods.
We market
seventy-six kinds of polypeptide-based nutritional products and health
foods in three (3) categories according to their service target and functional
features: (i) Functional Peptide Material Products; (ii) Domestic Peptide
Healthy Foods and (iii) Polypeptide Series Special Nutritional
Foods.
Functional
Peptide Material Products
Functional
peptide material products are peptide materials which perform certain
physiological functions. We produce twelve different functional
peptide material products that we supply to other food, medicine and cosmetics
manufacturers. Our functional peptide material products are used in a
variety of products ranging from nutritional supplements to skin care
products.
5
Domestic
Polypeptide Health Foods
Domestic
polypeptide health foods are edible products with specific health care
functions. Included in this category is one of our key products,
Polypeptide Protein Powders. These products are verified, approved
and licensed by PRC Ministry of Health or State Food and Drug
Administration (the “SFDA”). We produce three domestic
polypeptide health foods, which are mainly sold under our own brands through
Haopu for end-market sale, or directly sale to customers.
The
following is a brief description of our domestic polypeptide health food
products:
|
·
|
Puzhongren
protein powder, which is marketed as a supplement to strengthen the immune
system.
|
|
·
|
Tallyho
Ziqing Soft Capsule, which is marketed as a supplement to aid in the
regulation of blood fat; and
|
|
·
|
Anya
Taihe Slimming Capsule, which is marketed as a weight loss
supplement.
|
Polypeptide
Series Special Nutritional Foods
Polypeptide
series special nutritional foods are edible products with what we believe to be
special nutritional features which we sell directly to consumers and to
wholesale distributors. Included in this category is one of our other
key products, Shenguo Polypeptide Capsules. We market these products
as nutritional supplements and immunity enhancers. We produce
sixty-one different polypeptide series special nutritional food products.
Certain of these products are sold under our own brands through
Haopu for end-market sale or directly sold to customers. We also sell
these products to other healthy food companies for use as raw materials in
their products. In addition, we manufacture specific products according to
formula and the standards provided to us by our customers. We also
market these products through the internet.
We are
planning on developing oral administrated skin care and anti-aging nutritional
products targeted for elderly customers based on new polypeptide materials. We
also plan to establish an oral administered beauty and cosmetics market network
“A2H” targeted for the youth and fashion markets.
Manufacturing
Most of
our products are manufactured in our own production facilities on a
16,430 square meters site located in the Hannan Economic Development Zone,
Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. We currently have
protein powder production capacity of 250 tons per annum.
Some of
our nutritional supplements and personal care products are manufactured for us
through contractual relationships with other manufacturing companies, in
accordance with our own proprietary formulations. We work closely
with such production facilities in an effort to achieve the highest quality
standards and product availability.
In order
to coordinate and manage the manufacturing of our products, we utilize a demand
planning and forecasting process that is directly tied to our production
planning and purchasing systems. Using this sophisticated planning
software and process allows us to balance our inventory levels to provide
products to distributors while minimizing working capital and inventory
obsolescence.
Raw
Materials
Raw
materials for our products come from natural animal and vegetable proteins. For
example, collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides are extracted from marine
fish such as tilapia; Soybean polypeptide products come from soybeans; Albumin
polypeptide comes from eggs; peanut peptides and corn peptides are taken
from peanuts and corn,
Raw
materials used in our products and our product packing materials are developed
in accordance with established criteria, including national standards, industry
standards, and enterprise standards. For products to be exported,
international standards must be followed.
Our
suppliers of raw materials and packing materials must provide us with the
following certificate of qualifications: production licenses, sanitary license
and other necessary certificates issued by governmental authorities, product
quality standards, product test report and certificate of conformance of
products.
Personnel
from our quality control department check all incoming raw materials against
specifications provided by the producers. Both the raw material and its
packaging are inspected, and after this inspection, raw materials are sampled
according to national standards on sampling and are sent to our center test
room. Visual inspection, physical, chemical and hygiene tests are
conducted according to relevant standards. We submit items we are unable to
test to national test institutions for testing. Raw materials that fail
testing are returned to the suppliers and if we return a supplier’s raw materials
twice, they are no longer used by us.
The cost
of raw materials included in our cost of sales for the fiscal years ended 2008
and 2007, were $1,885,587 and $1,078,363, respectively. The cost of raw
materials for the six month ended June 30, 2009 was 1,253,585. We currently
maintain a sufficient supply of raw materials for approximately seven days of
production. Prices
for some of our key input materials, such as soybean, egg, herbs and packaging
materials are increasing. However, we are confident we can offset
these increases with our cost reduction programs and by raising the prices of
our products.

Our
Major Customers
We earn
revenues through the sale of our products through an established sales network
throughout China. Our enterprise customers are mainly located in
mainland China. In addition, our products are also exported to foreign
places, such as Malaysia, Japan and Taiwan. However, the export amount is
comparatively small.

During
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, our five largest customers
were TianJin Tiens, NanJing PuHangTianQu Trading Co.,
Ltd., ShanDong TianDiJian Bioengineering Co.,Ltd., GuangZhou DongJian Co
Ltd., and ShenYang ZhongPu Co Ltd. In the aggregate, these customers
accounted for approximately $640,700, or less than 1% of our total sales
revenue in 2008.
We intend
to export our collagen tripeptide product to Japan. This
product has passed a qualification inspection and has been approved and
certified by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of
Japan. Mr. Kodama Nenkei, who has experience in the
cosmetic and health food market, has been appointed the general manager of
Japanese market. At the same time, we have entered into several contacts
and built relationships with a number of corporations in
Japan.
Our
Sales and Marketing Efforts
We are
committed to build sales agent, customer and brand loyalty by providing a
diverse portfolio of health-oriented and wellness products. The breadth of
our product offerings enables our sales agents to sell a comprehensive package
of nutritional supplements and health foods that provide a variety of benefits,
from anti-oxidants to weight management and nutrition. Many of our product
formulations have been in existence for years. However, we continually
review, and if necessary, improve our product formulations based upon
developments in nutritional science. We believe that the longevity and variety
in our product portfolio could significantly enhance our sale agent’s abilities
to expand our business.
We have a
diversified sales network allowing us to effectively market products and
services to our customers. Our sales and marketing department currently consists
of approximately 295 full-time employees and over 300 part-time employees.
In addition to sales efforts conducted directly by our internal sales team
and other employees, we also use sales agents. We sell products from our two
regional sales offices in Guangzhou and Wuhan, at community sales/customer
service kiosks, and at organized sales events with related products in order to
maximize cross-selling opportunities for our sales agents. These programs target
specific consumer market segments, such as women, men or children, as well as
weight-management customers and individuals seeking to enhance their overall
well-being. Our sales offices and kiosks are strategically located in
residential areas of high density, in strip malls and in other easy access
locations. Our customers place orders for our products through sales
representatives at our sales locations or at organized sales events or seminars
and we deliver their orders directly to them. Our sales network covers twenty
cities in China and includes thirty-two representative offices. We plan to
expand our sales network to cover more Chinese cities, including Ningbo,
Changsha, and Wuxi.
7
We set up
Haopu in October 2007 to provide professional services and marketing services
through branch offices. We have established 32 branches across the
country.
Traditional
Sales Methods
We market
and sell our products under our own brand names to consumers through regional
dealers and network agents. In addition, we also provide
manufacturing services where we contract manufacture products for third parties
either according to formulas and standards provided to us by such third parties
or according to our formula and standards for sale under our customers’ brand
names.
Innovative
Sales Methods
We have
developed two new marketing models: project marketing and service
marketing. Currently, about 83% of our sales are derived through our
service marketing model. We are also working to develop other sales
channels as well.
Service
marketing is a sale model through which we work to establish strong
relationships with customers by providing a series of services such as: health
consultation and education services, psychological counseling services, and
physical examination services, among other services. We believe that
providing these services will help us to establish brand image, promote our
products, stimulate demand, and increase sales of our products.
Project
marketing is a sales model used in connection with the manufacturing
services we provide to customers. In project marketing, we define each
customer’s business as one project, and provide each customer with
all-around services, including market consultation, technical demonstration,
market positioning, product development, test and evaluation, market access,
package design, market planning, marketing and after service. We work
to assist our customers in making reasonable use of polypeptide materials to
develop products and promote growth of the customer’s market. We believe
that by working to increase our contract manufacturing customer’s sales grow,
sales of our polypeptide materials will increase as well.
In
addition, we are planning to develop a new sales model integrating current sales
methods and the Internet, to attract and serve the young and the middle aged
market. In December 2009, we plan to invest RMB30,000,000 to
establish a main flagship store in Shenzhen and store chains in other parts
of China.
Our
Growth Strategy

Our
Research and Development Efforts
We
conduct our research and development efforts independently at our research and
development facilities in Wuhan, China. Our research and development
department is responsible for developing advanced technologies and new
polypeptide based products and for training. As of September 2009, we
have a total of forty-six researchers, six with doctorate degrees and eleven
with masters degrees. The rest are college graduates. Among the
researchers, twelve people possess senior professional titles, fifteen people
possess intermediate professional titles, and seven people possess primary
professional title.
Research
Centers
We have
set up three research-development centers, which are:
(1)
|
Research
Center of Peptides Materials - This research center was set up in 1998.
The primary purpose of this research center is to (i) study the
methods and conditions of extracting polypeptide from the animals and
plants, (ii) test and measure the functional polypeptide’s physiological
regulation function on human, and (iii) test the physical and chemical
indicators, which focus on basic and applied development and research. The
Center’s chief scientist is Professor Wang Ajing, the company’s technology
president, who enjoys the special allowance of the State
Council.
|
(2)
|
Anti-aging
Research & Development center (Wuhan Polypeptide Anti-aging R
& D Co., Ltd.) - This center was set up in 2007. The center engages in
the research and development of anti-aging products and pilot plant test
work. This center focuses on developing new products with anti-aging
functions (such as Shengguo polypeptide capsule, youth vigor tablet)
through screening of special antioxidants and research of combination of
special antioxidants with the polypeptide materials. The Center’s chief
scientist is Professor Sun Xiufa, a biochemistry
expert.
|
(3)
|
Application
& Research Center of Polypeptide-functional Food & Cosmetics -
This center was set up in 2008, which is primarily engaged in (i) the
study and application works of polypeptide-functional food &
cosmetics, (ii) the development of new products that are anti-aging and
capable of ameliorating fundamental nourishment supply & health
conditions, and (iii) improvement and innovation of food production &
processing methods. Professor Xia Wenshui is the center’s chief scientist.
He is an expert in Food Engineering in
China.

During
the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2008 and 2007, we incurred $391,306
and $165,441, in research and development expenses, respectively, with respect
to our polypeptide-based products.
Our
Competition
We
believe that the health supplementary business, both within PRC and globally, is
highly fragmented and intensely competitive. In our industry, we
compete based upon product quality, product cost, ability to produce a diverse
range of products and logistical capabilities. Many of our
competitors, both domestic and international, have greater research and
development capabilities and financial, scientific, manufacturing, marketing and
sales resources than we do. Although our marketing and sales efforts
of polypeptide-based products are limited as compared to our competition, we
believe that we have a competitive advantage due to the price and quality of our
products and our ability to produce a diverse range of products and customer
services.
Internationally,
there are companies that apply polypeptide technology in developing new drugs,
but we believe there are few companies that apply polypeptide technology to the
nutritional supplement field. We believe that in China, we are one of
the largest companies focusing on developing, producing and marketing functional
peptide nutritional products with over 70% market share. We believe
the rest of the companies that sell polypeptide products are either small size
companies or large nutritional products companies with only small percentage of
revenue deriving from polypeptide products, such as American Oriental
Bioengineering, or AOB and Tiens Biotech Group, Inc., or Tiens. (Both of which
are Chinese companies listed at U.S.)
9
AOB
offers pharmaceutical products, soybean based peptide protein powder products
and nutritional beverage products in the Chinese market. Tiens provides
nutritional supplements and dietary products in powder, tea and
capsule/tablet/granule form, and Tiens’ reported 2007 annual revenue was $54.9
million.
Competitive
Advantage
We
believe that our competitive strengths include the following:
(i)
Advanced polypeptide technology.
We have
been researching and developing polypeptides for many years and we believe we
are one of the leading companies developing polypeptide technology. For
example:
|
-
|
Our
company was appointed by relevant department in China and became the first
of standard-setting body of national criterion of “soybean polypeptide”.
(GB/T22492-2008)
|
|
-
|
The
collagen tripeptide project studied by our company gained the second prize
of governmental progress prize in science and
technology.
|
|
-
|
The
polypeptide beauty-slimming capsule project developed by our company
gained the progress prize of China health
products.
|
Our
polypeptide research centre, anti-aging research institution and food and
cosmetic research centre have excellent researchers who have received two
patents of invention and applied for an additional nine patents with State
Intellectual Property Office of The PRC, seven of which have passed preliminary
approval. In addition, our researches have developed seventy-six production
processes.
(ii)
Experience in the production of functional peptides.
Unlike
our competitors which offer soy and animal based peptide products, we
provide a wide range of functional peptide products that are extracted from many
different natural protein ingredients. Functional polypeptides create functional
proteins which shape themselves in stable, distinctive and discrete fashions in
order to perform specific functions in the body. We believe our
technology and know how in the production of functional peptides allows us to
produce products that provide more body regulating and enhancement functions for
consumers of varying age groups and different health needs.
We have
developed over 70 kinds of functional polypeptide products, which provide a
variety of benefits such as basic nutrition, health-care and anti-aging
benefits.
(iii)
Well known brand names.
We
believe that two of our trademarks, “Tallyho” and “PuZhongren” have
achieved strong name recognition in local markets. The provinces of
Hubei and Guangdong issued us certificates recognizing these two brands as
“famous brands.” We believe that recognition of "Tallyho" and
"PuZhongRen" brand names helps to drive the sales of our products and
facilitates acceptance and market penetration of our new products. In order to
protect and enhance our "Tallyho" and "PuZhongRen" brand names, we rely on
stringent quality control and our ongoing marketing, advertising and public
relations efforts continue to stress the quality, safety and innovativeness of
our products. We believe that brand awareness in our target markets and
dedicated distribution channels, will enable us to leverage goodwill from our
brands into future growth.
(iv)
Proven Management Team and integrated sales channel.
Our
management team has a proven track record of successful management and has a
great deal of experience in the nutritional supplement and anti-aging industry
and business development. Our management team is led by Dongliang Chen who
became the Chairman of Tallyho in October, 2007 after spending eleven
(11) years with Wuhan Tallyho Co., where he most recently served as Chairman.
Mr. Chen is the inventor of two key patents, and the author of a number of
science and biology educational books. Since joining our Company, Mr. Chen has
assembled a team of experienced executives, including: Mr. Shengfan Yan, the
President of the Company, who has worked in the nutritional supplements industry
for eight years and has vast experience in product production; Mr. Lirong Hu who
is the Chief Financial Officer and brings more than 25 years of accounting and
financial management experience to the Company; and Xinfeng Liang, the Senior
Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, who brings nearly ten years of sales and
marketing experience with him.
10
We have a
diversified sales network which allows us to effectively market our products and
services to our customers. Our sales and marketing department currently consists
of approximately 295 full-time employees and over 300 part-time employees. In
addition to sales efforts conducted directly by our internal sales team and
other employees, we also use sales agents. We sell products from our two
regional sales offices in Guangzhou and Wuhan, at community sales/customer
service kiosks, and at organized sales events with related products designed to
simplify weight management and nutrition and maximize cross-selling
opportunities for our sales agents. These programs target specific consumer
market segments, such as women, men or children, as well as weight-management
customers and individuals seeking to enhance their overall well-being. Our sales
offices and kiosks are strategically located in high density residential areas,
in strip malls and in other easy access locations. Our customers place orders
for our products through sales representatives at our sales locations or at
organized sales events or seminars and we deliver their orders directly to them.
Our sales network covers 20 cities in China and includes 32 representative
offices. We plan to expand our sales network to cover more Chinese cities,
including Ningbo, Changsha, and Wuxi.
(v)
Productive technology equipment and the advantage of processing
technique.
Our
products are produced in our own production facilities using modern production
lines, techniques and equipment. The company has passed the certification of
ISO-9001, HACCP and GMP for workshops. We believe that our production facilities
are satisfactory for our current production needs but we are preparing to
increase capacity in the future.
Regulation
China
Polypeptide
based products are classified under PRC law into three categories, based on
potential use, and each category is subject to separate PRC laws and
regulations. All our polypeptide products must obtain approval from
our provincial Ministry of Health (the “MOH”), prior to distribution to end
users. Additionally, for health functional foods, we are required to
obtain approval from the SFDA before we can make specific claims regarding the
health benefits of the product. Currently, all of our products have
received MOH approval and may be distributed to consumers.
If our
polypeptide products are sold for food, they are considered to be food additives
under PRC law, and the Company is required to obtain two licenses prior to the
distribution of such products to consumers: the Food Hygiene License issued by
the provincial MOH and the Food Production License issued by the provincial
branch of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and
Quarantine (the “Quality Administration”). We have already obtained
both the Food Hygiene License issued by the Hubei MOH and the Food Production
License issued by the provincial Quality Administration.
PRC law
requires sellers of polypeptide products that are sold as raw materials for
drugs to first obtain a Pharmaceutical Producer License from the provincial MOH,
as well as approval from the provincial FDA, prior to distribution of such
products to consumers. Since we also plan to produce and sell
polypeptide skin care products, we plan to apply for the Pharmaceutical Producer
License from the provincial MOH and the approval from the provincial SFDA in the
future.

We are
also subject to PRC’s foreign currency regulations. The PRC
government has control over RMB reserves through, among other things, direct
regulation of the conversion of RMB into other foreign
currencies. Although foreign currencies which are required for
“current account” transactions can be bought freely at authorized PRC banks, the
proper procedural requirements prescribed by PRC law must be met. At
the same time, PRC companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange
earnings to authorized PRC banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for
capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the PRC
government.
Malaysia
Our
products are also available for purchase through distributors in
Malaysia. As a result, our products are required to obtain a license
from governmental health and safety agencies in Malaysia, including the Ministry
of Health Malaysia.
We are
also subject to product licensing and certification requirements of Malaysia’s
Ministry of Health and its Drug Control Authority (“DCA”). All
registered pharmaceutical and health products sold for use in Malaysia must
undergo DCA evaluation and testing for quality, safety and
efficacy. A product that successfully passes this examination is
issued a license, or MAL number, which must be displayed on the
product. Furthermore, routine sampling of registered products is
carried out to ensure compliance with standards.
12
In
addition, registered pharmaceutical and health products, including traditional
medicine and health supplements, must now display a separate “Meditag”
high-security hologram label to specify that they have been approved for
sale. The secure hologram technology featured in the design and
production of Meditag is similar to the ones used in currency protection and
high-level government documents. In order to obtain Meditag certification,
manufacturers and importers need to register with Malaysia’s Ministry of
Health.
Our
Intellectual Property
The
continued success of our business is dependent on our intellectual property
portfolio consisting of registered trademarks, design patents and utility
patents related to our products. We currently have two patents
which have been granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the
PRC and nine patent applications which have been processed by State
Intellectual Property Office of The PRC.
We have
four registered trademarks for our fifteen products which we intend to sell
under the name PuZhongRen brand.

Our
ability to achieve our operational and financial objectives depends in part upon
our ability to retain key technical, marketing and operations personnel, and to
attract new employees as required to support growth. Working capital
constraints may impair our ability to retain and attract the staff needed to
maintain current operations and meet the needs of anticipated
growth.
In
addition, we rely on consultants to a significant extent to supplement our
regular employee staff in certain key functional areas and to support management
in the execution of our business strategy. These consultants are
independent contractors. There can be no assurance that, if one or
more of the consultants were to terminate their services, we would be able to
identify suitable replacements. Failure to do so could materially and
adversely affect our operating and financial results.
As
required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts
with all of our officers, managers and employees. The remuneration
payable to employees includes basic salaries and allowances. In addition, our
employees in China participate in a state pension scheme organized by Chinese
municipal and provincial governments. We are required to contribute
to the scheme at a rate of 28% of the average monthly salary. In
addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with
various types of social insurance. We have purchased social insurance
for all of our employees.
We
believe that our relationship with our employees is good. We have not
experienced any significant problems or disruption to our operations due to
labor disputes, nor have we experienced any difficulties in recruitment and
retention of experienced staff.
Legal
Proceedings
From time
to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we
consider to be a part of the ordinary course of business. We are not
currently involved in legal proceedings that we believe could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition or results of operations.
15
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective
investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and
all other information contained or referred to in this Current Report on Form
8-K before investing in our Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and
uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also
may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following
risks occur, our business, financial condition and/or results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading
price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all of your
investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Our
operations, sales, profit and cash flow will be adversely affected if our
polypeptide products fail inspection or are delayed by regulators.
We are
responsible for product testing in our own facility for polypeptide products
sold in China and each batch of our products requires inspection by our Quality
Control center prior to shipment to our customers. The results of
product testing is recorded and approved by the local Quality and Technical
Supervision Department, and such testing must be in accordance with the national
quality standards issued by the Standardization Administration of China, which
requires testing of such factors including, but not limited to, appearance,
packing capacity, thermal stability, pH value, protein content and
percentage of purity of the product. Government regulators routinely
inspect samples from each batch of our polypeptide products and for export
products, a sample of each shipment is tested by the China Entry/Exit Inspection
and Quality department (the “CIQ”). In the event that the
regulators delay the approval of our products, change the requirements in such a
way that we are unable to comply with those requirements, or require our other
products to be inspected by regulators before we can ship them to our customers,
our operations, sales, profit and cash flow will be adversely
affected.
We
engage in international sales, which expose us to trade restrictions that could
harm our business and competitive position.
As a
result of our product sales in various geographic regions, we may be subject to
the risks associated with customs duties, export quotas and other trade
restrictions that could have a significant impact on our revenue and
profitability. While we have not encountered significant difficulties
in connection with the sales of our products in international markets, the
future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of custom duties,
export quotas or other trade restrictions could have an adverse effect on
us. Further, we cannot assure you that the laws of foreign
jurisdictions where we sell and seek to sell our products afford similar or any
protection of our intellectual property rights as may be available under U.S.
law. We are directly impacted by the political, economic, military
and other conditions in the countries where we sell or seek to sell our
products.
Expansion
of our business may put added pressure on our management, financial resources
and operational infrastructure, thus impeding our ability to meet any increased
demand for our products and hurting our operating results.
Our
business plan is intended to significantly grow our operations to meet
anticipated growth in demand for existing products, and to introduce new product
offerings. Our planned growth includes the construction of several
new production lines to be put into operation over the next five
years. Growth in our business may place a significant strain on our
personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. We
may be unable to successfully and rapidly expand sales to potential
customers in response to potentially increasing demand or control costs
associated with our growth.
To
accommodate any such growth and compete effectively, we may need to obtain
additional funding to improve information systems, procedures and controls and
expand, train, motivate and manage our employees, and such funding may not be
available in sufficient quantities, if at all. If we are not able to
manage these activities and implement these strategies successfully to expand to
meet any increased demand, our operating results would suffer.
We
depend on key personnel, and turnover of key employees and senior management
could harm our business.
Our
future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the
continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel,
including specifically, Dongliang Chen, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Shengfan Yan, our President, Lirong Hu, our Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer. They also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and
retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and
support personnel for our operations. If we lose a key employee or if
a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, or if we are
unable to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could
suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could
significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior
management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key
employees, as well as the intellectual property owned by Chen, in managing the
development, manufacturing, technical, marketing and sales aspects of our
business, any part of which could be harmed by further turnover. In addition, we
rely on consultants to a significant extent to supplement our regular employee
staff in certain key functional areas and to support management in the execution
of our business strategy. These consultants are independent
contractors. There can be no assurance that, if one or more of the
consultants were to terminate their services, we would be able to identify
suitable replacements. Failure to do so could materially and
adversely affect our operating and financial results.
16
We
may not be able to adequately finance the significant costs associated with the
development of new polypeptide-based nutritional supplement
products.
The
products in the nutritional supplement market can change dramatically with new
technological advancements. We are currently conducting research and
development on new products, which requires a substantial outlay of capital. To
remain competitive, we must continue to incur significant costs in product
development, equipment, facilities and invest in research and development of new
products. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs
and operating expenses.
In
addition to research and development costs, we could be required to expend
substantial funds for and commit significant resources to the
following:
|
·
|
additional
engineering and other technical
personnel;
|
|
·
|
advanced
design, production and test
equipment;
|
|
·
|
manufacturing
services that meet changing customer
needs;
|
|
·
|
technological
changes in manufacturing processes;
and
|
|
·
|
manufacturing
capacity.
|
Our
future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to
continue to provide new and competitive products that compare favorably on the
basis of cost and performance with the design and manufacturing capabilities of
competitive third-party technologies. We will need to sufficiently
increase our net sales to offset these increased costs, the failure of which
would negatively affect our operating results.
Our inability to
successfully research and
develop new polypeptide based
products could have an adverse effect on our future growth.
We
believe that the successful development of nutritional supplements and health
food products can be affected by many factors. Products that appear to be
promising in the early phases of research and development may fail to be
commercialized for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the failure
to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. There is no
assurance that our future research and development projects will be successful
or that they will be completed within the anticipated time frame or
budget. Also, there is no guarantee that we will receive the
necessary approvals from relevant authorities for the production of our newly
developed products. Even if such products could be successfully
commercialized, there is no assurance that they will be accepted by the market
as anticipated.
If
we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and operating results
could be harmed.
We have
experienced, and continue to experience, growth in our operations which has
placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management,
operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively
manage our growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which
could negatively affect our operating results. To effectively manage
this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial, and
management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These
systems enhancements and improvements may require significant capital
expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these
improvements could hurt our ability to manage our growth and our financial
position.
Future
acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our
business.
Selective
acquisitions form part of our strategy to further expand our
business. If we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may
acquire additional companies, products or technologies. Future acquisitions and
the subsequent integration of new companies into ours would require significant
attention from our management. Our company has little experience with
integrating newly acquired businesses. Potential problems encountered
by each organization during mergers and acquisitions would be unique, posing
additional risks to the company. The diversion of our management’s
attention and any difficulties encountered in any integration process could have
an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business. Future
acquisitions would expose us to potential risks, including risks associated with
the assimilation of new operations, technologies and personnel, unforeseen or
hidden liabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses and
technologies, the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs
and expenses of acquisitions, and potential loss of, or harm to, relationships
with employees, customers and suppliers as a result of integration of new
businesses.
17
Our
intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them
could reduce the value of our products, services, and brand.
Our
patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property
rights are important assets for us. Various events outside of our
control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our
products and services. For example, effective intellectual property
protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our
products are sold. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our
proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any
significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our
business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual
property rights is costly and time consuming. Any increase in the
unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do
business and harm our operating results.
We
rely on patent and trade secret laws that are complex and difficult to enforce
and we may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our
intellectual property. If we are not able to adequately secure and
protect, or if we fail to prevent the loss or misappropriation of, or disputes
over, our patent, trademark and other proprietary rights, we will lose our
competitive advantage and our business will be materially affected.
The
continued success of our business is dependent on our intellectual property
portfolio, which consists of globally registered trademarks, design patents and
utility patents related to polypeptide-based products. We currently
have two patents, Soy Polypeptide Powder with lipid lowering function and
Soybean Polypeptide Powder without bitterness. We have applied for
three additional patents covering a preparation method of
rapeseed peptide from defatted rapeseed by direct enzymatic hydrolysis,
Processing method of Spirulina Polypeptide and a preparation method
of corn peptide from zein. The patent applications are subject
to approval from the relevant PRC authorities. We may not be able to
successfully obtain the approval of the PRC authorities for our patent
applications. Furthermore, third parties may assert claims to our
proprietary procedures, technologies and systems. These proprietary procedures,
technologies and systems are important to our business as they allow us to
maintain our competitive edge over our competitors.
While we
are not aware of any infringement on our intellectual property and we have not
been notified by any third party that we are infringing on their intellectual
property, our ability to compete successfully and to achieve future revenue
growth will depend, in significant part, on our ability to protect our
proprietary technology and operate without infringing upon the intellectual
property rights of others. The legal regime in China for the
protection of intellectual property rights is still at its early stage of
development. Intellectual property protection became a national effort in China
in 1979 when China adopted its first statute on the protection of
trademarks. Since then, China has adopted its Patent Law, Trademark
Law and Copyright Law and promulgated related regulations such as the Regulation
on Computer Software Protection, Regulation on the Protection of Layout Designs
of Integrated Circuits and Regulation on Internet Domain Names. China
has also acceded to various international treaties and conventions in this area,
such as the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, Patent
Cooperation Treaty, Madrid Agreement and its Protocol Concerning the
International Registration of Marks. In addition, when China became a
party to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China amended many of its laws
and regulations to comply with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights. Despite many laws and regulations
promulgated and other efforts made by China over the years with a view to
tightening up its regulation and protection of intellectual property rights,
private parties may not enjoy intellectual property rights in China to the same
extent as they would in many Western countries, including the United States, and
enforcement of such laws and regulations in China have not achieved the levels
reached in those countries. Both the administrative agencies and the
court system in China are not well-equipped to deal with violations or handle
the nuances and complexities between compliant technological innovation and
non-compliant infringement.
We rely
on confidentiality agreements with our management and employees to protect our
confidential proprietary information. However, the protection of our
intellectual properties may be compromised as a result of:
|
·
|
departure
of any of our management members or employees in possession of our
confidential proprietary
information;
|
|
·
|
breach
by such departing management member or employee of his or her
confidentiality and non-disclosure undertaking to
us;
|
|
·
|
infringement
by others of our proprietary information and intellectual property rights;
or
|
|
·
|
refusal
by relevant regulatory authorities to approve our patent or trademark
applications.
|
Any of
these events or occurrences will have a material adverse effect on our
operations and the measures that we have put into place to protect our
intellectual property rights may not be sufficient. Litigation to
enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs to us
and may not be successful. If we are not able to successfully defend
our intellectual property rights, we might lose rights to technology that we
need to conduct and develop our business. This would seriously harm
our business, operating results and financial condition, and enable our
competitors to use our intellectual property to compete against us.
Furthermore,
if third parties claim that our products infringe their patents or other
intellectual property rights, we may be required to devote substantial resources
to defend against such claims. If we are unsuccessful in defending
against such infringement claims, we may be required to pay damages, modify our
products or suspend the production and sale of such products. We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to modify our products on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all.
18
A
disruption in the supply of utilities, fire or other calamity at our
manufacturing plant would disrupt production of our products and adversely
affect our sales.
Our
products are manufactured at our production facility located in Hubei Province
in the PRC. While we have not in the past experienced any calamities
which disrupted production, any disruption in the supply of utilities,
particularly electricity or power supply, or any outbreak of fire, flood or
other calamity or natural disaster resulting in significant damage at our
facilities would severely affect our production and have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We
maintain insurance policies covering losses with respect to damages to our
properties and products. We do not have insurance coverage for machinery and
inventories of raw materials. There is no assurance that our insurance would be
sufficient to cover all of our potential losses.
The nutritional supplement industry in the PRC is
strictly regulated and changes in such regulations may have an adverse effect on
our business.
The
nutritional supplement industry in the PRC is strictly regulated by the
state. The regulatory regime requires administrative approval of
supplements, food additives and production, and comprises a series of
regulations and administrative rules. From time to time, the PRC regulatory
authorities may amend such regulations and administrative rules or promulgate
new ones. Our inability to comply with any such changes in
regulations and administrative rules would have an adverse impact on our
business.
We
may not be able to carry on our business if we lose any of the permits and
licenses required by the PRC Government in order to carry on our
business.
All
nutritional supplement manufacturing and distribution enterprises in the PRC are
required to obtain from various PRC governmental authorities certain permits and
licenses, including, in the case of manufacturing enterprises and distribution
enterprises such as ours, a Food Manufacturing Permit, a Food Product
Distribution Permit, and a Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”)
certificate.
We have
obtained permits and licenses and the GMP certificates, required for the
manufacture of our nutritional supplement products. However, the
permits and licenses held by us are subject to periodic renewal and/or
reassessment by the relevant PRC governmental authorities and the standards of
compliance required in relation thereto may from time to time be subject to
change. We intend to apply for the renewal of such permits and
licenses when required by applicable laws and regulations. Any
changes in compliance standards, or any new laws or regulations that may
prohibit or render it more restrictive for us to conduct our business or
increase our compliance costs may adversely affect our operations or
profitability. Any failure by us to obtain such renewals may
have a material adverse effect on the operation of our business. In
addition, we may not be able to carry on business without such permits and
business licenses being renewed.
We
may encounter increased competition from both local and overseas enterprises as
a result of a relaxation of the PRC regulatory approval process for
polypeptide-based biopharmaceutical products or due to an ease in international
trade restrictions. A change in our competitive environment could
adversely affect our profitability and prospects.
Our
continued ability to compete depends on the development of the polypeptide-based
nutritional supplement manufacturing industry in China. The polypeptide-based
nutritional supplement manufacturing industry in China is highly regulated by
both provincial and central governments. Prior to engaging in the
production and distribution of polypeptide-based nutritional supplement
products, companies such as ours are required to obtain production permits and
certificates for each new product formulation from the various provincial food
and drug authorities. We have the advantage of having been approved
by the state to produce and distribute polypeptide-based nutritional supplement
products in Wuhan Province, and our research and development department has
become familiar with the provincial product approval
process. However, while we believe that the regulatory requirements
pose a competitive barrier to entry into the nutritional supplement industry,
there may be new entrants over time. If the government relaxes these
restrictions and allow more competitors to enter into the market, these
competitors may have more capital, better research and development resources,
manufacturing and marketing capability and experience than us. Our
profitability may be adversely affected if (i) competition intensifies; (ii)
competitors drastically reduce prices; or (iii) competitors develop new products
having comparable applications or therapeutic effects which are more effective
and/or less costly than those produced by us.
In
addition we expect that competition from imported products will increase as a
result of a trend towards lower import tariffs and China’s admission as a member
of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) in December 2001. We believe
that lower import tariffs will result in more affordable pricing for imported
polypeptide-based nutritional supplement products manufactured overseas as
compared to domestically manufactured products such as ours. In
addition, China’s membership in the WTO makes it more accessible to foreign
biopharmaceutical manufacturers who may wish to set up production facilities in
the PRC and compete directly with domestic manufacturers. The expected increased
supply of both domestic and foreign competitively priced biopharmaceutical
products in the PRC will result in increased competition. There is no
assurance that our strategies to remain competitive can be implemented
successfully as scheduled, if at all. Our inability to remain
competitive may have an adverse effect on our profitability and
prospects.
19
We
may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and
harm our financial condition and operating results.
Our
products consist of herbs, vitamins and minerals and other ingredients that are
classified as foods or dietary supplements and are not subject to pre-market
regulatory approval in the United States. Our products could contain
contaminated substances, and some of our products contain innovative ingredients
that do not have long histories of human consumption. We generally do not
conduct or sponsor clinical studies for our products and previously unknown
adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could
occur. As a marketer of dietary and nutritional supplements and other products
that are ingested by consumers or applied to their bodies, we have been, and may
again be, subjected to various product liability claims, including that the
products contain contaminants, the products include inadequate instructions as
to their uses, or the products include inadequate warnings concerning side
effects and interactions with other substances. It is possible that widespread
product liability claims could increase our costs, and adversely affect our
revenues and operating income. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious
adverse event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and
deductibles, and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance
coverage in the future. In addition, our product liability insurance may fail to
cover future product liability claims, thereby requiring us to pay substantial
monetary damages and adversely affecting our business. Finally, given the higher
level of self-insured retentions that we have accepted under our current product
liability insurance policies, which are as high as approximately
$10 million, in certain cases we may be subject to the full amount of
liability associated with any injuries, which could be substantial.
An
increase in the cost of raw materials will affect sales and
revenues.
Raw
materials required for polypeptide production include soybeans, collagen
extract, eggs, herbs, fish and packaging materials. Any increase in
the prices of these raw materials will affect the price at which we can sell our
products. If we are not able to raise our prices to pass on increased
costs, we would be unable to maintain our margins.
We
may require additional financing to expand and/or fund our operations; our
failure to obtain necessary financing may impair our operations.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had working capital of approximately
$6,561,393. Our capital requirements in connection with the
development of our business are significant. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2009, we spent approximately $1,925,676 for the purchase of raw
materials and equipment, and paid our key personnel $85,000 for their services
and consulting. We may require additional financing to fund and
expand our operations. If we seek to obtain additional financing
through sales of our securities, it may be necessary for us to sell our
securities at a price which is at a significant discount from the market price
and on other terms which may be disadvantageous to us. In connection
with any such financing, we may be required to provide registration rights to
the investors and pay damages to the investor in the event that the registration
statement is not filed or declared effective by specified dates. The
price and terms of any financing which would be available to us could result in
both the issuance of a significant number of shares and significant downward
pressure on our stock prices. The inability to obtain additional
financing on favorable terms, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on
our business.
We
may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing which may result in
dilution to our shareholders and have a material adverse economic effect on our
business.
We may
need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund our capital
expenditures. Additional equity financing may result in dilution to
our shareholders. Additional debt financing may be required, which,
if obtained, may:
|
·
|
limit
our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consents for the
payment of dividends;
|
|
·
|
increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
|
|
·
|
limit
our ability to pursue our growth
plan;
|
|
·
|
require
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations as
payment for our debt, thereby reducing availability of our cash flow to
fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate
purposes; and/or
|
|
·
|
limit
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business
and our industry.
|
We cannot
assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional financing on terms that
are acceptable to us, if at all.
20
Our
cash flow could be negatively affected as a result of our extension of
relatively long payment terms to customers that we believe are credit
worthy.
As is
customary in our industry, we extend relatively long payment terms (up to six
months) to customers that we believe are credit worthy. The dollar
amount of our accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of
June 30, 2009 was $5,219,570. Although we attempt to establish appropriate
reserves for our receivables, those reserves may not prove to be adequate in
view of actual levels of bad debts. The failure of our customers to pay us
timely would negatively affect our working capital, which could in turn
adversely affect our cash flow.
We
face risks associated with debt financing (including exposure to variation in
interest rates).
Our total
liabilities as of June 30, 2009 were $ 14,915,936, of which
$574,280 consisted of short term loans. Our obligations under our existing
loans have been mainly met through the cash flow from our operations and our
financing activities. We are subject to risks normally associated
with debt financing, including the risk of significant increase in interest
rates and the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required
payment of principal and interest. In the past, cash flow from
operations had been sufficient to meet payment obligations and/or we have been
able to roll over our borrowings. There is however no assurance that
we will be able to do so in the future. We may also underestimate our capital
requirements and other expenditures or overestimate our future cash
flows. In such event, additional capital, debt or other forms of
financing may be required for our working capital. If any of the
aforesaid events occur and we are unable for any reason to raise additional
capital, debt or other financing to meet our working capital requirements, our
business, operating results, liquidity and financial position will be adversely
affected.
RISKS
RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA
Substantially
all of our assets are located in, and substantially all of our revenue is
sourced from, the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial
position and prospects are subject to a significant degree to the economic,
political and legal developments of the PRC.
Changes
in China's political or economic situation could harm us and our operating
results.
Economic
reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the
economic development of the country, but the government could change these
economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could
either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Some of
the things that could have this effect are:
|
·
|
Level
of government involvement in the
economy;
|
|
·
|
Control
of foreign exchange;
|
|
·
|
Methods
of allocating resources;
|
|
·
|
Balance
of payments position;
|
|
·
|
International
trade restrictions; and
|
|
·
|
International
conflict.
|
The
Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”), in many
ways. For example, state-owned enterprises still constitute a large
portion of the Chinese economy and weak corporate governance and a lack of
flexible currency exchange policy still prevail in China. As a result
of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as
might be expected if the Chinese economy was similar to those of other OECD
member countries.
Our
business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and your
legal protection could be limited.
The
Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written
statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which
precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used. The
overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance
the legal protections afforded to foreign invested enterprises in
China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are
relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and
enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit
the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of
foreign invested enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as requisite
business licenses.
21
Substantially
all of our executive officers reside in the PRC, and substantially all of our
assets are located within the PRC. It may not be possible for investors to
effect service of process upon those persons in the PRC or to enforce any
judgment obtained from non-PRC courts against them in the PRC or against our
assets in the PRC.
In China,
if a foreign party wants to petition to recognize and enforce a foreign
judgment, it has to petition to a PRC intermediate court for such recognition
and enforcement. After receiving such a petition, a Chinese
court has broad discretion in evaluating whether to enforce foreign judgments
according to international treaties into which China has entered, or by the
principle of reciprocity. If the PRC and the foreign country have not
entered into or acceded into any international treaties and both countries do
not have established reciprocity relationships, the judgment made by the court
of the foreign country will not be recognized and enforced in
China. In such case the foreign party would have to institute a
lawsuit with the PRC court having jurisdiction over the action if it wishes to
enforce the judgment.
In 1987,
China acceded to the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York
Convention”). Under the New York Convention, arbitral awards rendered
in other signatory countries are recognized and enforceable in
China. However, thus far, China has not yet acceded to the Hague
Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and
Commercial Matters, or the Hague Convention, nor does it have treaties providing
for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts in the
United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or many other
countries. Therefore recognition and enforcement in China of
judgments of a court in any of these jurisdictions in respect of any matter not
subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or
impossible.
The
Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must
conduct our business activities.
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 the jurisdictions in which we operate 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 Chinese properties or joint ventures.
Future
inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in
China.
In recent
years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly
fluctuating rates of inflation. These factors have led to the
adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective
measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and
contain inflation. 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 the market for
our products and our company.
Restrictions
on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues
effectively.
The
majority of our revenues will be settled in Renminbi and U.S. dollars, and any
future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue
generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to
make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese
government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the
Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still
remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises
may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial
documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange
business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items,
including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in
China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange
accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese
regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the
convertibility of the Renminbi.
22
Our
primary source of funds for dividends and other distributions from our operating
subsidiaries in China are subject to various legal and contractual restrictions
and uncertainties, and our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions
to our shareholders are negatively affected by those restrictions and
uncertainties.
We are a
company established in Delaware and conduct our core business operations through
Cantix’s principal operating subsidiaries, Tallyho and Wuhan Anti-Aging, in
China. As a result, our profits available for distribution to our
shareholders are dependent on the profits available for distribution from
Tallyho and Wuhan Anti-Aging. If either subsidiary incurs debt on its
own behalf, the debt instruments may restrict its ability to pay dividends or
make other distributions, which in turn would limit our ability to pay dividends
on our shares. Under the current PRC laws, because we are
incorporated in the Delaware, Cantix’s PRC subsidiaries are regarded as a
sino-foreign joint venture enterprise in China. Although dividends
paid by foreign invested enterprises, such as wholly foreign-owned enterprises
and sino-foreign joint ventures, are not subject to any PRC corporate
withholding tax, the PRC laws permit payment of dividends only out of net income
as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and
regulations. Determination of net income under PRC accounting
standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. GAAP in
significant aspects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of
revenues and expenses. In addition, if we make additional capital
contributions to Cantix’s PRC subsidiaries (which may occur through the
capitalization of undistributed profits), then additional approval of the PRC
government would be required due to an increase in our registered capital and
total investment in Tallyho and Wuhan Anti-Aging. Under the PRC laws,
Tallyho and Wuhan Anti-Aging are required to set aside a portion of its net
income each year to fund designated statutory reserve funds. These
reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result, our
primary internal source of funds of dividend payments from our subsidiaries are
subject to these and other legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties,
which in turn may limit or impair our ability to pay dividends to our
shareholders. Moreover, any transfer of funds from us to our
subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered
capital, is subject to registration with or approval by PRC governmental
authorities. These limitations on the flow of funds between us and
our subsidiaries could restrict our ability to act in response to changing
market conditions. We currently do not intend on paying any dividends in the
future and expect to retain all available funds to support our operations and to
finance growth and development of our business. We have never declared dividends
or paid cash dividends. Our board of directors will make any future
decisions regarding dividends. We currently intend to retain and use
any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Therefore,
any gains on an investment in our Common Stock will likely occur through an
increase in our stock price, which may or may not occur.
Failure
to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special
purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to
personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject
capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to
distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect
us.
In
October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), issued
the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and
Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China,
generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register
with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control
over an offshore special purpose company (“SPV”), for the purpose of engaging in
an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets
originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by
SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach
of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of
control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire “control”
over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2)
adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to
establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing
offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in
which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an
unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic
affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which
must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business
plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments
to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any
increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions,
equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in
China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV
jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was
established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the
implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required
to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently
extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant
establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its
affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to
comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance
with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for
evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also
result in the SPV’s affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing
their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or
liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into
or out of China.
We
believe our stockholders who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75 have
registered with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in
connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity
interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any
assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they
have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with,
all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular
75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be
interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we
cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future
strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC
subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the
remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be
subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial
holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to
complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular
75. We also have little control over either our present or
prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration
procedures.
23
The
value of our securities will be affected by the currency exchange rate between
U.S. dollars and RMB.
The value
of our Common Stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S.
dollars and RMB, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our
sales may be denominated. For example, if we need to convert U.S.
dollars into RMB for our operational needs and the RMB appreciates against the
U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, our business, and the
price of our Common Stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to
convert our RMB 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 RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our
subsidiaries in China would be reduced.
Our
procurement strategy is to diversify our suppliers both in the PRC and
overseas. Additionally, some of our raw materials and major
equipments are currently imported. These transactions are often
settled in U.S. dollars or other foreign currency. In the event that
the U.S. Dollar or other foreign currency appreciate against the RMB, our costs
will increase. If we cannot pass the resulting cost increase to our
customers, our profitability and operating results will suffer. In
addition, because our sales to international customers are growing, we are
subject to the risk of foreign currency depreciation.
A
downturn in the economy of China may slow our growth and
profitability.
The
growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and
economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy
will be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our
business.
Because
our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any
bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in
business.
Banks and
other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held
on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access
to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank
that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our
operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers,
employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in
business.
Failure
to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us
to penalties and other adverse consequences.
We are
subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally
prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited
payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining
business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not
subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft
and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make
no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in
such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other
agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe
penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There
is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our Common Stock and
we cannot assure you that the Common Stock will become liquid or that it will be
listed on a securities exchange.
There
currently is a limited market for our Common Stock. We plan to file an
application to list our Common Stock on a national exchange as soon as
practicable, however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be
able to maintain any such listing. Our Common Stock is currently
quoted in the OTCBB and, as such investors may find it difficult to obtain
accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock and trading
of our Common Stock may continue to be extremely sporadic and a more active
market for our Common Stock may never develop. In addition, we
believe that our Common Stock is considered to be a “penny stock” under criteria
set forth in SEC regulations. As a result, various requirements are
on broker-dealers who sell our Common Stock to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors. Consequently, as long as our
Common Stock is a “penny stock”, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from
recommending or selling our Common Stock, which may further affect its
liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise
additional capital.
24
Our
holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.
We have
no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our
subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends,
should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to
pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends
or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and
investments. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to
time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to
us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements,
restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard
currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below. We
currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and,
therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable
future. If we determine that we will pay dividends to the holders of
our Common Stock, we cannot assure that such dividends will be paid on a timely
basis. As a result, you will not receive any return on your
investment prior to selling your shares in our company and, for the other
reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return
on your investment even when you sell your shares in our company and your shares
may become worthless. If future dividends are paid in RMB,
fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars
may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the
dividend payment into U.S. dollars.
Investor
confidence and market price of our shares may be adversely impacted if we or our
independent registered public accountants are unable to attest to the adequacy
of the internal controls over our financial reporting as of September 30, 2010,
as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
We are
subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of
the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring public companies to
include a report of management of their internal control structure and
procedures for financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K that
contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of their internal
controls over financial reporting. In addition, independent
registered public accountants of these public companies must attest to and
report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of their internal
controls over financial reporting. These requirements will first
apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on September
30, 2010, and the auditor attestation will be required in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2010.
The
rights of the holders of Common Stock may be impaired by the potential issuance
of preferred stock.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended authorizes the Company to issue
preferred stock and gives our board of directors the right to issue shares of
preferred stock and to designate the rights, privileges and preferences of such
class of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors
may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend,
conversion, liquidation or other rights that could adversely affect the voting
power and equity interest of the holders of Common Stock. Preferred stock, which
could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be
utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of
control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the
price of our Common Stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any
additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred
stock and the certificate of designation relating to the Preferred Shares
restricts our ability to issue additional series of preferred stock, we may
issue such shares in the future.
The
issuance of shares through our stock compensation plans may dilute the value of
existing stockholders and may affect the market price of our stock.
Although
we do not have an option or other equity-based incentive plan at present, in the
future we may use stock options, stock grants and other equity-based incentives,
to provide motivation and compensation to our officers, employees and key
independent consultants. The award of any such incentives will result in an
immediate and potentially substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and
could result in a decline in the value of our stock price. The exercise of these
options and the sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock and the sale of
stock issued pursuant to stock grants may have an adverse effect upon the price
of our stock.
25
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Overview
of Our Business
Through
Cantix’s PRC operating subsidiaries, Tallyho, Haopu, and Wuhan Anti-Aging, we
are primarily engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of
polypeptide-based nutritional supplements and health foods. Our
products are sold to customers primarily in China, through an established
network of sales agents. In 2005, we began selling our nutritional
supplement products in Taiwan and Malaysia through local
distributors.
Our
products are primarily manufactured in our production
facilities located on 8,529 square meters of land in the Hannan Economic
Development Zone in Wuhan, China. Our products have been tested and
approved by domestic and Malaysian governmental safety agencies such as the Ministry of Health
Malaysia, and the SFDA and MOH in China. Our research and development
efforts are conducted at Tallyho’s facilities in Wuhan, China.
Our sales
revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $35,590,341
and $1,970,673, respectively, and our net income for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $10,240,474 and $43,162,
respectively. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008,
$28,947,347, or 81.33% of our sales revenue, was generated from sales of our
Protein Powder. We expect our revenues to continue to grow in future
periods as a result of our plans to extend our distribution network and expand
our manufacturing capacity.
Principal
Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
Production
Capacity
Our sales
volume is limited by our annual production capacity. As we grow our
business in the future, our ability to fulfill additional and larger orders will
be dependent on our ability to increase our production capacity. Our
plan to expand our production capacity will depend on, inter alia, the
availability of capital to meet our needs of expansion or upgrading of
production lines, and the availability of a steady supply of raw
materials.
Currently,
our production capacity is 250 tons per annum. We estimate that the
production capacity of our major competitors ranges from 250 tons to 1000
tons per annum.
Competition
We are
subject to intense competition from other producers of polypeptide products,
both foreign and domestic. These competitors may have more capital,
better research and development resources, manufacturing and marketing
capability and experience than us. In our industry, we compete based
upon product quality, product cost, ability to produce a diverse range of
products and logistical capabilities. Our profitability may be
adversely affected if (i) competition intensifies; (ii) competitors drastically
reduce prices; or (iii) competitors develop new products or product substitutes
having comparable medicinal applications or therapeutic effects which are more
effective and /or less costly than those produced by us.
Market
and Macro-Economic Trends
While the
Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has
been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the
economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to
encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some
of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a
negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and
results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over
capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to
us.
Further,
we are reliant on additional financing to support our intended growth and
business plan. There can be no assurance that the recent downturn in
the global economy will reverse and will not have a negative effect on our
business.
Results
of Operations
As a
result of the Exchange, Cantix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hamptons and
its four direct and indirect subsidiaries, Moneyeasy, Tallyho, Wuhan Anti-Aging,
and Haopu, became Hamptons’ indirect subsidiaries. Our primary
business is now the research and development, manufacturing and marketing of
polypeptide-based nutritional supplements and health foods.
The
financial information discussed below represents the financial information of
Cantix and its subsidiaries prior to the Exchange.

$25,758,585 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $485,614, or
approximately 1.89%. The total revenue for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 is as much as the same period in 2008.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $1,597,977, or

June 30, 2009, from $24,420,708 for the same period in 2008. However,
as a percentage of sales revenue, our cost of revenues increased by 1.13% from
5.19% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, to 6.32% for the same period in
2009. The increase in our cost as a percentage of revenues is due
primarily to increased cost of material and cost of products.
Selling

$15,022,666 or approximately 59% of net sales, compared to $14,741,486 or
approximately57% of net sales, for the same period in 2008. This increase was
primarily due to the fact that Haopu spent more money on promotion
activities.
Income
(Loss) from Operations
Income
from operations in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $8,652,328 as

Haopu.
Selling and
Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for 2008 totaled $20,048,948, or approximately 56%
of net sales, compared to $607,854, or approximately 31% of net sales, for 2007.
This increase in general administrative expense was mainly due to the fact that
Haopu spent much
money on promotion activities.
Income
(Loss) From Operations
Income
from operations in 2008 was $13,041,990 as compared to income from operations of
$199,204 for 2007, an increase of 12,842,786 , or approximately
6447%. This increase was due to the high gross margin rate
of Haopu.
Interest
Expense.
Interest
expense for 2008 totaled $48,140 compared to $61,771 for 2007, a decrease of
13,631.
Net Income
(Loss)
Net
income was $10,240,474 for 2008, compared to net income of $43,162 for 2007, an
increase of $ 10,197,312. This increase was due to the high gross margin
rate of Haopu.

2007. We believe that the company will have sufficient funds to meet
all the obligations that are due in the next year.
Operating
Activities
For the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, net cash used by operating
activities totaled $8,351,932 and $668,444, respectively. This
change relates directly to the increase in sales.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used for investing activities in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and
2007 was $3,613,175 and $491,795, respectively. The increase of net
cash used for investing activities was mainly attributable to the increase in
purchasing of property, plant and equipment. In 2008 and 2007,
$3,647,241 and $254,508 were spent on purchase of property, plant and
equipment.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
used in financing activities in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 totaled
$947,036 as compared to $1,143,546 provided by financing activities in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The decrease of the cash
provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the large increase
in repayment to the related parties.
As of
September 30, 2008, our debt-to-equity ratio was 7.87%.

Interest
expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled

We

adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the
next twelve months.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Principles
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”),
include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the
Company and all its subsidiaries. This basis of accounting differs in certain
material respects from that used for the preparation of the books and records of
the Company's principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the
accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to
enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC (the “PRC GAMY”),
the accounting standards used in the place of their domicile. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in
the books and records of the Company's subsidiaries to present them in
conformity with US GAAP. All significant inter-company accounts, transactions
and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation. Investment in affiliates in
which the Company exercises significant influence but do not control and are not
the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The financial statements include some amounts that are
based on management’s best estimates and judgments. These accounts and estimates
include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, other
receivables, inventories, taxes payable, and the estimation on useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These estimates may be
adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could
be significant.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the
products are delivered to and accepted by its customers, the price is fixed or
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Customers do
not have a general right of return on products shipped. The number of products
returned to the Company was insignificant during past years. There
are no post-shipment obligations, price protection and bill and hold
arrangements.
Currency
Risk and Foreign Currency Translation
Most of
the transactions of the Company were settled in RMB and/or U.S.
dollars. In the opinion of management, the Company does not have
significant foreign currency risk exposure.
Transaction
gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than
the functional currency of the entity involved are included in other income
(expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign currency
translation. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company are presented in United States dollars (“US$”). Transactions
in foreign currencies during the year are translated into US$ at the exchange
rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are
translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing at that
date. All transaction differences are recorded in the income
statement.
The Company uses its local currency,
Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency. On consolidation, the
financial statements of the Company are translated from RMB into US$ in
accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency
Translation.” Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated
at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates and all income and
expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the
period.
30
RMB is
not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions
involving RMB must take place either through the People’s Bank of China (the
“PBOC”), or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign
currencies. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange
transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined
largely by supply and demand. Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has
been made at the following exchange rates for the respective
periods:

Commencing
on July 21, 2005, China has adopted a managed floating exchange rate regime
based on market demand and supply with reference to a basket of
currencies. The exchange rate of the US$ against the RMB was adjusted
from approximately RMB 8.28 per US$1 to approximately RMB 8.11 per US$1 on July
21, 2005. Since then, the PBOC administers and regulates the exchange
rate of US$ against RMB taking into account supply and demand of RMB, as well as
domestic and foreign economic and financial conditions.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In
March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133,
which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the
derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting
for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations,
and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related
hedged items on the company's financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. SFAS No.161 is not currently applicable to the Company
since the Company does not have derivative instruments or hedging
activity.
|

·
|
In
June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for
the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of
uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise's financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at
the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in
subsequent periods. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. In January 2008, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position
(“FSP”) No. FIN 48-6 - “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for
Nonpublic Enterprise,” permitting nonpublic enterprises to defer
implementation of FIN 48 until the period beginning after December 15,
2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of FIN
48 on its financial statements and footnotes
disclosures.

·

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value
Measurement. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 shall be effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the
reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal
year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that
fiscal year. The provisions of this statement should be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS No. 157
is initially applied, except in some circumstances where the statement
shall be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating
the effect, if any, of SFAS No. 157 on our financial
statements.
|
|
·
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,
an amendment of FASB Statements 87, 88, 106 and
132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize
the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement
plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its
statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
income. SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan
assets and obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end
statement of financial position (with limited exceptions). Management does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”),
“Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements.” This bulletin provides guidance on the consideration
of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year
misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108
establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial
statement errors based on the effects of each of the company's financial
statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB 108
permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of
initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November
15, 2006, by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year
with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained
earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method
requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each
individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how
and when it arose. We do not anticipate that SAB 108 will have
a material impact on our financial
statements.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option
will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No.
159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to
facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements
of SFAS No. 159 are effective for the 2008 fiscal year. We are
in the process of evaluating this guidance and therefore have not yet
determined the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial
statements upon adoption.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No.
141, “Business Combinations,” although it retains the fundamental
requirement stated in SFAS No.141 that the acquisition method of
accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No.141R establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination
(a) recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures
the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain
purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose regarding the
business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning
of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS No.
141R on its financial statements.

·

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No.160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary, commonly referred to as minority
interest. Among other matters, SFAS No.160 requires: (a) the
non-controlling interest be reported within equity in the balance sheet;
and (b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent
and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly presented in the
statement of income. SFAS No.160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
SFASNo.160 is to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect
of SFAS No.160 on its financial
statements.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to our stockholders.
Seasonality
Historically,
the Company’s sales revenue for the first and forth quarters in each fiscal year
have been better than sales revenue for the second and third fiscal
quarters. We believe that this is partially due to the number of
festivals and holiday celebrations that occur in China during our fourth and
first fiscal quarters.
PROPERTIES
All land
in China is owned by the State or collectives. Individuals and
companies are permitted to acquire rights to use land or land use rights for
specific purposes. In the case of land used for industrial purposes,
the land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years. This period
may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms
according to the relevant Chinese laws. Granted land use rights are
transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other
obligations.
Our
executive offices are located at No. 11 Jiangda Road, Jianghan Economic
Development Zone, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Our executive
offices consist of approximately 2,780 square meters consisting entirely of
administrative office space. The administrative office is owned by
the Company and therefore we do not pay rent for the use of the office
space. The sale offices and service kiosks are leased from
individual owners on a month-to-month basis, at an aggregate monthly cost
of $11,331.
32
Our main
production facilities are located in the Hannan Economic Development Zone, in
Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The total site area is
approximately 16,430 square meters. Tallyho purchased the right to use
the land and built the production facilities in 1996.
We
believe that all our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally
in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business. We
do not have property insurance on any of our properties.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The
Company was incorporated on March 19, 2007 at which time 985,000 shares of
common stock were issued to John Delaney, the Company’s founder, and 15,000
shares of common stock were issued to the Company’s legal counsel for cash at
the par value of $0.0001 or a total $100.
Mr. Chen,

Officer and a director of CPG. CPG is the holder of 88% of our
outstanding Common Stock.
Pursuant
to a Patent License Agreement, between Mr. Chen and Wuhan Tallyho
Biological Product Lts., our subsidiary, Mr. Chen has licensed to Tallyho the
rights to use certain processes and technologies for which Mr. Chen has filed
patent applications.
Director
Independence
Our board
of directors has not yet appointed an independent director that possesses the
accounting or related financial management experience that qualifies as
financially sophisticated within the meaning of Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules, or that would qualifies as an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of our business. We are currently not aware of any
legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in our judgment based on
information currently available, would have a material adverse affect on our
business, financial condition or operating results.
MARKET
PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON EQUITY
AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market
Information
Our
Common Stock is traded over-the-counter on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
designation HMEX and there is no established public trading market for our
Common Stock.
Holders
As of
September 30, 2009, there were approximately 50 stockholders of record of our
Common Stock. The number of record holders does not include persons
who held our Common Stock in nominee or “street name” accounts through
brokers.
Dividend
Policy
We have
not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and there are no plans for
paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to
retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business
plan. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable
future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock
will receive any additional cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of
our common stock until we have funds which the Board of Directors determines can
be allocated to dividends.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
The
Company does not have any stock option plan or other equity compensation
plans.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
On
November 5, 2009 we filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of
incorporation which increased our authorized capital stock to 120,000,000 shares
of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
37
Preferred
Stock
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time
to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock have
been designated, issued or are outstanding. Accordingly, our board of
directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights
that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common
stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of
preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the
future.
Among
other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or
action by our stockholders:
•
|
the number of shares and the
designation of the series;
|
•
|
whether to pay dividends on the
series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative
and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority
of payment of dividends on shares of the
series;
|
•
|
whether the series will have
voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so,
the terms of the voting
rights;
|
•
|
whether the series will be
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series
of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or
exchange;
|
•
|
whether or not the shares of the
series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of
redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of
that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund;
and
|
•
|
the rights of the shares of the
series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of
payment of shares of the
series.
|
We
presently do not have plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock. However, preferred stock could be used to dilute a potential
hostile acquirer. Accordingly, any future issuance of preferred stock
or any rights to purchase preferred shares may have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This may delay,
defer or prevent a change of control in our company or an unsolicited
acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could
decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for
distribution to, the holders of our common stock and could adversely affect the
rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common
stock.
Common
Stock
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 120,000,000 shares of
common stock. As of November 13, 2009, there were 1,250,000 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of our common
stock:
|
·
|
have equal ratable rights to
dividends from funds legally available for payment of dividends when, as
and if declared by the board of
directors;
|
|
·
|
are entitled to
share ratably in all of the assets available for distribution to holders
of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of our
affairs;
|
|
·
|
do not have preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or access to any sinking
fund; and
|
|
·
|
are entitled to one
non-cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for
a vote at any meeting of
stockholders.
|
Authorized
but Un-issued Capital Stock
Delaware
law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized
shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of
corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional
capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of
the effects of the existence of un-issued and unreserved common stock may be to
enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt
to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest
or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly
deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common
stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
38
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Law
We are
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
regulating corporate takeovers. This section prohibits, subject to
exceptions, publicly-traded Delaware corporations from engaging in a business
combination, which includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the
corporation's assets, with any interested stockholder. An interested
stockholder is generally defined as a person who, with its affiliates and
associates, owns or, within three years before the time of determination of
interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding
voting securities. This prohibition does not apply if: the
transaction is approved by the board of directors before the time the interested
stockholder attained that status; upon the closing of the transaction that
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested
stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the start of the transaction; or at or after the time the
stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is
approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not
owned by the interested stockholder.
A
Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision with an express provision in
its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its
certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from an amendment approved by
at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. However, we
have not opted out of this provision. This provision of the Delaware
General Corporation Law could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or
change-in-control attempts and may discourage attempts to acquire
us.
Shareholder
Matters
Certain
provisions of Delaware law create rights that might be deemed material to our
shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult
acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the
effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult
to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in
their best interests.
Dissenters'
Rights
Among the
rights granted under Delaware law which might be considered as material is the
right for shareholders to dissent from certain corporate actions and obtain
payment for their shares (see Delaware Revised Statutes ("DRS")
92A.380-390). This right is subject to exceptions, summarized below,
and arises in the event of mergers or plans of exchange. This right
normally applies if shareholder approval of the corporate action is required
either by Delaware law or by the terms of the articles of
incorporation.
A
shareholder does not have the right to dissent with respect to any plan of
merger or exchange, if the shares held by the shareholder are part of a class of
shares which are:
listed on a national securities
exchange,
included in the national market system
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, or
held of record by not less than 2,000
holders.
This
exception notwithstanding, a shareholder will still have a right of dissent if
it is provided for in the articles of incorporation (our certificate of
incorporation does not so provide) or if the shareholders are required under the
plan of merger or exchange to accept anything but cash or owner's interests, or
a combination of the two, in the surviving or acquiring entity, or in any other
entity falling in any of the three categories described above in this
paragraph.
Inspection
Rights
Delaware
law also specifies that shareholders are to have the right to inspect company
records. This right extends to any person who has been a shareholder
of record for at least six months immediately preceding his
demand. It also extends to any person holding, or authorized in
writing by the holders of, at least 5% of our outstanding
shares. Shareholders having this right are to be granted inspection
rights upon five days' written notice. The records covered by this
right include official copies of: the articles of incorporation, and all
amendments thereto, bylaws and all amendments thereto; and a stock ledger or a
duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically
arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their
places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them,
respectively.
In lieu
of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, Delaware law provides that the
corporation may keep a statement setting out the name of the custodian of the
stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, and the present and complete post office
address, including street and number, if any, where the stock ledger or
duplicate stock ledger specified in this section is kept.

RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On March
19, 2007 we issued 985,000 shares of our common stock to John Delaney, our
former president for $98.50. On March 19, 2007 we also issued 15,000
shares of our common stock to Frank J. Hariton, Esq for $1.50. All of
such transactions with the Company’s founders were exempt from registration by
reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). All of the shares issued in such transactions bear
an appropriate restrictive legend.
An
additional 37,000 shares were issued to 35 shareholders for $37,000 paid in cash
($1.00 per share) during the period from June 2007 to May 2008. These shares
were issued in a private offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and each of the investors therein
represented in writing that such investor was an accredited investor as that
term is defined in Regulation D and that he was acquiring the shares for his own
account and for investment.
No
underwriter participated in the foregoing transactions, and no underwriting
discounts or commissions were paid, nor was any general solicitation or general
advertising conducted. The securities bear a restrictive legend and stop
transfer instructions are noted on our stock transfer records.
Exchange
Agreement
Pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement, we issued 1,100,000 shares of our Common Stock to
China Polypeptide Group in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of
Cantix. The shares of Common Stock issued to China Polypeptide Group
were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Act.
INDEMNIFICATION
OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and
officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification, including
reimbursement of expenses incurred, under certain circumstances for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws eliminate the liability of the directors of the
registrant for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware
law. In addition, the registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the registrant has the authority to
indemnify the registrant’s directors and officers and may indemnify the
registrant’s employees and agents (other than officers and directors) against
liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The registrant is
also empowered under the registrant’s Bylaws to purchase insurance on behalf of
any person whom the registrant is required or permitted to
indemnify.

Principal
Activities and Organization
The
accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
following
Cantix
International Limited (“Cantix”) was incorporated in the Bristish Virgin Islands
(the “BVI”) on January 29, 2007. Cantix has a wholly owned subsidiary, Moneyeasy
Industries Limited (“Moneyeasy”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on August
25, 2006. These companies are holding companies with minimum
activities.
Wuhan
Tallyho Biological Product Co., Limited (“Wuhan Tallyho”) was founded on
December 2, 1996 in the People Republic of China (the “PRC”) and has been
engaged in the research, production and sales of polypeptide-based health
products and anti-aging food. Wuhan Tallyho has developed over 70
products.
Guangdong
Hopsun Polypeptide Biological Technology Co., Limited (“Guangdong Hopsun”) was
founded on November 13, 2007 in the PRC. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Wuhan Tallyho with $1,424,055 (RMB10,000,000) paid-in capital and specializes in
service-based sales of health and anti-aging products.
Wuhan
Anti-aging Research & Development Co., Limited (“Anti-aging”) was founded on
June 13, 2007 in the PRC, with $1,045,246 (RMB 8,000,000) paid-in capital
and specialized in research, development and sales of polypeptide-based health
products and anti-aging foods. Prior to Moneyeasy’s acquisition of Anti-aging on
December 18, 2007, Wuhan Tallyho had a 30% ownership interest in
Anti-aging.
On
November 5, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into an agreement to acquire all the capital
of Wuhan Tallyho. Since Cantix, Moneyeasy and Wuhan Tallyho are controlled by
the same ultimate individual, these companies are deemed to be under common
control and the assets and liabilities will be transferred at their carrying
amounts for business acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition
agreement, all the original shareholders of Wuhan Tallyho will receive a
cash consideration from Moneyeasy in the amount of $5,854,361 (RMB40,230,000)
for all payment of the capital of Wuhan Tallyho. This transaction was completed
on December 26, 2007.
On
December 18, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into another agreement to acquire all the
capital of Anti-aging for $1,164,178 (RMB8,000,000). The transaction was
completed on January 3, 2008. The Company recorded a purchase price of
$814,925(RMB5,600,000) in other payable on the balance sheet as of September 30,
2008, which is payable to the former owners of Anti-aging that had 70% ownership
interest in Anti-aging. The remaining purchase price of $349,253 (RMB2,400,000)
due to Wuhan Tallyho for its 30% ownership interest in Anti-aging was eliminated
upon consolidation. Upon completion of the acquisition, Moneyeasy controls two
wholly owned subsidiaries, Wuhan Tallyho and Anti-aging.
Cantix
International Limited and subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
“Company”.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a)
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 include the financial statements of Cantix, Moneyeasy and its subsidiaries,
Wuhan Tallyho, Anti-aging and Guangdong Hopsun, the subsidiary of Wuhan Tallyho.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
combination or consolidation.
(b)
Use of estimation
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

(c)
Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents represent cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
(d)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying
amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The
Company determines the allowance based on aging data, historical collection
experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Account balances
are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The
Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its
customers. As of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 $113,275 and
$117,365 allowance for doubtful accounts was provided
respectively.
(e)
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the
weighted average cost method. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material,
direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on
normal operating capacity. The Company evaluates the need for reserves
associated with obsolete, slow-moving and non-salable inventory by reviewing the
net realizable value on a periodic basis. If inventory is written
down to net realizable value, the write-down is charged to expense.
(f)
Other receivables
As needed
for normal business purposes, the Company advances predetermined amounts based
upon internal policy to certain employees and unrelated parties to ensure
certain transactions to be performed in a timely manner. The Company has full
oversight and control over the advanced accounts. As of June 30, 2009 and
September 30, 2008, $117,098 and $73,583allowance for doubtful accounts was
provided respectively.
(g)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment.
Depreciation
on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method after
taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Useful lives
|
||
Buildings
|
20~40

|
|
Machinery

years
|
|
Furniture

|
|
Motor
vehicles
|
5

|
Maintenance
and repair costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
(h) Land
Use Rights
Land use
rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over
the period the rights are granted, 50 years.

(i)
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not
be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become
impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of
recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by comparing the
carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by
the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported
at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
There
were no impairments of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2009 and
September 30, 2008.
(j)
Long term Investments
(i) Investment
in associates
Investment
in associates consists of ownership in associated companies, which the Company
exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee’s accounts are
not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of
Income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee
are reflected in the caption “Investment gain (loss)” in the consolidated
statements of income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee
is reflected in the caption “Long term Investment” in the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets.
When the
Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee is reduced to zero, no
further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements
unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee or has committed
additional funding. When the investee subsequently reports income, the Company
will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share
of losses not previously recognized.
(ii) Investment
in private financial institution
Investment
in private financial institution consists of ownership in the private financial
institution, which the Company does not exercise significant influence, are
accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under cost method, the
Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee are not reflected in
investment gain (loss) in the consolidated statement of income, unless the
investees announce dividend distribution.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net
assets and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and
certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not
amortized. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized
over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are
subject to impairment testing annually as of the fiscal year-end or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
fully recoverable, using the guidance and criteria described in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.
This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the
carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value.
(l) Statutory
surplus reserve
In
accordance with the Company Law of the PRC, Wuhan Tallyho, Guangdong Hopsun and
Anti-aging are required to set aside 10% of its income after income taxes
prepared in accordance with the PRC accounting regulations to the statutory
surplus reserve until the balance reaches 50% of its registered capital, whether
further appropriation, if any, will be at the directors’ recommendation. As of
June 30, 2009, $1,144,448 was provided for statutory surplus
reserve.

(m)
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
No. 104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Company to
recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4)
collectability is reasonably assured.
Sales are
recognized when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and
assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or
determinable.
In the
PRC, value added tax (the “VAT”) of 17% on invoice amount is collected in
respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is
not recorded as revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a
liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the
authorities.
(n)
Research and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses
consists the costs of the Company’s internal research and development activities
and the costs of developing new products and enhancing existing products.
Research and development costs amounted to $85,578 and $123,121 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were recorded in administrative expenses
respectively.
(o) Foreign
Currency Translation
The
functional currency of the Company is RMB and RMB is not freely convertible into
foreign currencies. The Company maintains its financial statements in the
functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency
at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency
transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective
periods.
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, which are
prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance
sheet date, revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange
rates for the period, and Shareholders’ equity is translated at historical
exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated
other comprehensive income, a component of Shareholders’
equity.
The
exchange rates applied are as follows:

(p)
Income Taxes
(i) Income
tax
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting
for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) that requires recognition of deferred income tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and
liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes.
The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items,
which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilized.
Deferred
tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or
credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or
charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in
equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to
settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a
benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be
sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the
“more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no
affect on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Value
added tax
Wuhan
Tallyho and Anti-aging and Guangdong Hopsun are qualified as an ordinary
value-added taxpayer and the applicable tax rate for domestic sales is
17%. Input VAT on purchases of raw materials, fuel, utilities and
other production materials (merchandise, transportation costs) can be deducted
from output VAT. VAT payable is the net difference between output and deductible
input VAT.
(q)
Commitments and contingencies
In the
normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as
legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide
range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, product
and environmental liability, and tax matters. In accordance with SFAS
No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not experienced any
material service liability claims.
(r) Fair value of
financial instruments
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables,
prepayment and other receivable from third and related parties, amounts due from
and due to related parties, accounts payable, other payables and short-term
borrowings approximate their fair values due to their short term
nature.
The fair
value is estimated by discounting the future cash flow using an interest
rate which approximated the rate for which the financial institution would
charge borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining
maturities.

(3) Significant
risks
(a) Foreign
currency risk
As Wuhan
Tallyho, Anti-aging and Guangdong Hopsun are operating in the PRC, a majority of
sales and expenses transactions and a significant portion of its assets and
liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign
currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by
law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates
set by the the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other
than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other
China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting
documentation in order to affect the remittance.
(b) Risk
of doing business in China
The
Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to
specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be
adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Taxes payable (continued)
In June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements
in accordance with SFAS 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
interpretation also provides guidance for de-recognition of tax positions,
financial statement classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation was effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did
not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
The
Company and its subsidiary files tax returns with the relevant government
authorities in the PRC. The Company does not believe there will be any material
changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date
of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or
penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor were any interest
expense recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and
the year ended September 30, 2008.
Deferred
tax relates to depreciation difference of fixed assets and provision of
assets.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cantix
International Limited
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cantix International
Limited and Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and
the related statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholder's equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company's management is responsible
for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30,
2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

Principal
Activities and Organization
The
accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
following
Cantix
International Limited (“Cantix”) was incorporated in the Bristish Virgin Islands
(the “BVI”) on January 29, 2007. Cantix has a wholly owned subsidiary, Moneyeasy
Industries Limited (“Moneyeasy”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on August
25, 2006. These companies are holding companies with minimum
activities.
Wuhan
Tallyho Biological Product Co., Limited (“Wuhan Tallyho”) was founded on
December 2, 1996 in the People Republic of China (the “PRC”) and has been
engaged in the research, production and sales of polypeptide-based health
products and anti-aging food. Wuhan Tallyho has developed over 70
products.
Guangdong
Hopsun Polypeptide Biological Technology Co., Limited (“Guangdong Hopsun”) was
founded on November 13, 2007 in the PRC. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Wuhan Tallyho with $1,424,055 (RMB10,000,000) paid-in capital and specializes in
service-based sales of health and anti-aging products.
Wuhan
Anti-aging Research & Development Co., Limited (“Anti-aging”) was founded on
June 13, 2007 in the PRC, with $1,045,246 (RMB 8,000,000) paid-in capital
and specialized in research, development and sales of polypeptide-based health
products and anti-aging foods. Prior to Moneyeasy’s acquisition of Anti-aging on
December 18, 2007, Wuhan Tallyho had a 30% ownership interest in
Anti-aging.
On
November 5, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into an agreement to acquire all the capital
of Wuhan Tallyho. Since Cantix, Moneyeasy and Wuhan Tallyho are controlled by
the same ultimate individual, these companies are deemed to be under common
control and the assets and liabilities will be transferred at their carrying
amounts for business acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition
agreement, all the original shareholders of Wuhan Tallyho will receive a
cash consideration from Moneyeasy in the amount of $5,854,361 (RMB40,230,000)
for all payment of the capital of Wuhan Tallyho. This transaction was completed
on December 26, 2007. The cash consideration has not yet been paid up to March
10, 2009.
On
December 18, 2007, Moneyeasy entered into another agreement to acquire all the
capital of Anti-aging for $1,164,178 (RMB8,000,000). The transaction was
completed on January 3, 2008. The Company recorded a purchase price of
$814,925(RMB5,600,000) in other payable on the balance sheet as of September 30,
2008, which is payable to the former owners of Anti-aging that had 70% ownership
interest in Anti-aging. The remaining purchase price of $349,253 (RMB2,400,000)
due to Wuhan Tallyho for its 30% ownership interest in Anti-aging was eliminated
upon consolidation. Upon completion of the acquisition, Moneyeasy controls two
wholly owned subsidiaries, Wuhan Tallyho and Anti-aging.
Cantix
International Limited and subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
“Company”.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a)
Basis
of Presentation
The
combined financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007 include the
financial statements of Cantix, Moneyeasy and Wuhan Tallyho and the consolidated
financial statements for the year end September 30, 2008 include the financial
statements of Cantix, Moneyeasy and its subsidiaries, Wuhan Tallyho, Anti-aging
and Guangdong Hopsun, the subsidiary of Wuhan Tallyho. The combined or
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
combination or consolidation.
(b)
Business
combinations under common control
Business
combinations under common control are accounted for in accordance with the
accounting principles applicable to business combinations. In applying these
principles, the financial information incorporate the financial statement items
of the combining entities or business in which the common control combination
occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or
business first came under the control of the controlling party.
F-23
Cantix
International Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
According
to ARB No. 51, the year 2007 financial statements of Cantix, Moneyeasy and Wuhan
Tallyho are combined because of common management for the year ended September
30, 2007.
The net
assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing
carrying values prior to the common control combination from the controlling
parties’ perspective. No amount is recognized in respect of goodwill or excess
of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common
control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling
parties’ interest.
The
combined income statements include the results of each of the combining entities
since January 5, 2006 when the entities were first operated under common
management.
The
comparative figures in the combined financial statements are presented as if the
entities had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first
came under common control, whichever is the shorter.
(c)
Use of estimation
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates
(d)
Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents represent cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
(e)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying
amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The
Company determines the allowance based on aging data, historical collection
experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Account balances
are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The
Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its
customers. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, $117,365 and $46,176 allowance for
doubtful accounts was provided respectively.
(f)
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the
weighted average cost method. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material,
direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on
normal operating capacity. The Company evaluates the need for reserves
associated with obsolete, slow-moving and non-salable inventory by reviewing the
net realizable value on a periodic basis. If inventory is written
down to net realizable value, the write-down is charged to expense.
(g)
Other receivables
As needed
for normal business purposes, the Company advances predetermined amounts based
upon internal policy to certain employees and unrelated parties to ensure
certain transactions to be performed in a timely manner. The Company has full
oversight and control over the advanced accounts. As of September 30, 2008 and
2007, $43,321 and $30,262 allowance for doubtful accounts was provided
respectively.

Cantix
International Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(h)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment.
Depreciation
on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method after
taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Useful lives
|
|||
Buildings
|
20~40 years
|
||
Machinery
and equipment
|
5~10 years
|
||
Furniture
and office equipment
|
2~5 years
|
||
Motor
vehicles
|
5
years
|
Maintenance
and repair costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
(i) Land
Use Rights
Intangible
assets include land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost
and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period the rights are
granted, 50 years.
(j)
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not
be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become
impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of
recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by comparing the
carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by
the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
There
were no impairments of long-lived assets as of September 30, 2008 and
2007.
(k)
Long term Investment
(i) Investment
in associates
Investment
in associates consists of ownership in associated companies, which the Company
exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee’s accounts are
not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of
Income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee
are reflected in the caption “Investment Income (Loss)” in the consolidated
statements of income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee
is reflected in the caption “Long term Investment” in the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets.
When the
Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee is reduced to zero, no
further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements
unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee or has committed
additional funding. When the investee subsequently reports income, the Company
will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share
of losses not previously recognized.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii)
Investment
in private financial institution
Investment
in private financial institution consists of ownership in the private financial
institution, which the Company does not exercise significant influence, are
accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under cost method, the
Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee are not reflected in
investment income (loss) in the consolidated statement of income, unless the
investees announce dividend distribution.
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net
assets and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and
certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not
amortized. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized
over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are
subject to impairment testing annually as of the fiscal year-end or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
fully recoverable, using the guidance and criteria described in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.
This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the
carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value.
(m) Statutory
surplus reserve
In
accordance with the Company Law of the PRC, Wuhan Tallyho, Guangdong Hopsun and
Anti-aging are required to set aside 10% of its income after income taxes
prepared in accordance with the PRC accounting regulations to the statutory
surplus reserve until the balance reaches 50% of its registered capital, whether
further appropriation will be at the directors’ recommendation. As of September
30, 2008, $1,015,400 was provided for statutory surplus reserve.
(n)
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
No. 104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Company to
recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4)
collectability is reasonably assured.
Sales are
recognized when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and
assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or
determinable.
In the
PRC, value added tax (the “VAT”) of 17% on invoice amount is collected in
respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is
not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on
the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.
(o)
Research and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses
consists the costs of the Company’s internal research and development activities
and the costs of developing new products and enhancing existing products.
Research and development costs amounted to $391,306 and $165,441 for the year
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively were recorded in administrative
expenses.
(p) Foreign
Currency Translation
The
functional currency of the Company is RMB and RMB is not freely convertible into
foreign currencies. The Company maintains its financial statements in the
functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency
at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency
transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective
periods.
F-26
Cantix
International Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, which are
prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance
sheet date, revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates
for the period, and Shareholders’ equity is translated at historical
exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated
other comprehensive income, a component of Shareholders’
equity.
The
exchange rates applied are as follows:
September
30,
|
||||||||
2008
|
2007
|
|||||||
Year
end RMB exchange rate
|
6.8551 | 7.5176 | ||||||
Average
RMB exchange rate - year ended
|
7.1106 | 7.7257 |
No
representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be,
converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.
(q)
Income Taxes
(i) Income
tax
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting
for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) that requires recognition of deferred income tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and
liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes.
The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items,
which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle,
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences,
and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilized.
Deferred
tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or
credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or
charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in
equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to
settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a
benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be
sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the
“more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no
affect on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Value
added tax
Wuhan
Tallyho and Anti-aging and Guangdong Hopsun are qualified as an ordinary
value-added taxpayer and the applicable tax rate for domestic sales is
17%. Input VAT on purchases of raw materials, fuel, utilities and
other production materials (merchandise, transportation costs) can be deducted
from output VAT. VAT payable is the net difference between output and deductible
input VAT.

(r)
Commitments and contingencies
In the
normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as
legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide
range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, product
and environmental liability, and tax matters. In accordance with SFAS
No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not experienced any
material service liability claims.
(s) Fair value of
financial instruments
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables from third
and related parties, amounts due from and due to related parties, accounts
payable, other payables and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values
due to their short term nature.
The fair
value is estimated by discounting the future cash flow using an interest
rate which approximated the rate for which the financial institution would
charge borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining
maturities.
(t)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB
Statement No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”)
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which defines fair value, provides a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning November 15,
2007. Although management will continue to evaluate the application
of SFAS No. 157, management does not currently believe the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or
financial position.
FASB
statement No. 159 (“SFAS No. 159”)
In
February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to
specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year
companies may be able to adopt SFAS 159 for their 2008 financial
statements.
The new
Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise
required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option
for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting
periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between
entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and
liabilities. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the SFAS No.
159 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial
position.
FASB
Statement No. 160 (“SFAS No. 160”)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Combined Financial Statements”. This
Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation
of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is
an ownership interest in the combined entity that should be reported as equity
in the combined financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the
Company’s fiscal year beginning December 15, 2008. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
F-28
Cantix
International Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
FASB
Statement No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141”)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains
the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how
the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.
141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning December 15,
2008. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS No.
141(R). It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
FASB
Statement No. 161 (“SFAS No. 161”)
On March
19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities
by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB
Statement No. 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB
Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by
requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial
statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.
Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
FASB
statement No. 162 (“SFAS No. 162”)
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have any
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
FASB
Statement No. 163 (“SFAS No. 163”)
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of
this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within
the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to
financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of
Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial
guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage
guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement
also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are
derivative instruments included within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement will not have any
impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(3) Significant
risks
(a)
Foreign currency risk
As Wuhan
Tallyho, Anti-aging and Guangdong Hopsun are operating in the PRC, a majority of
sales and expenses transactions and a significant portion of its assets and
liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign
currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by
law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates
set by the the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other
than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other
China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting
documentation in order to affect the remittance.
(b) Risk
of doing business in China
The
Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to
specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be
adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

In June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements
in accordance with SFAS 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
interpretation also provides guidance for de-recognition of tax positions,
financial statement classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation was effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did
not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
The
Company and its subsidiary files tax returns with the relevant government
authorities in the PRC. The Company does not believe there will be any material
changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date
of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or
penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor were any interest
expense recognized for the years ended September 30, 2008 and
2007.
Deferred
tax relates to depreciation difference of fixed assets and provision of
assets.
