Date and Description of the Transactions Which Resulted in the Change in Control
|
Change in Voting Control
On September 7, 2011, Great On Technologies Holdings LTD purchased 21,447,700 (90.05%) of the common stock of Quadra Projects Inc.
(“QPRJ”). Great On Technologies Limited additionally purchased 750,000 shares (100%) of the Series A Preferred Stock on September 7, 2011, from Quadra Projects, Inc.
The 21,447,700 shares of Common Stock now owned by Great On Technologies Holdings LTD (“Great On”) represents 90.05% of the 23,818,046 common shares issued and outstanding. Currently there are 100,000,000 common shares authorized.
The 750,000 Series “A” Preferred Stock now owned by Great On represents 100% of the 750,000 Series “A” Preferred shares issued and outstanding. Currently there are 100,000,000 Series “A” Preferred shares authorized.
4
There are no super-majority voting rights attached to the Common Stock (to elect directors or effect any other corporate transactions), so this 90.05% represents a change in voting control of QPRJ.

The Company does not anticipate that Mr. Tesheb Casimir will be compensated for service as a named executive officer or as a director.
Item 5.01(a)(a)(8) Shell Company Information
See the following Global Disclosure. Item captions correlate to those of Form 10.
Item 1 - Description of Business
The Company became a “shell company” as defined in the SEC’s Rule 12b-2, as of March 31, 2011. Following the change in control disclosed above, the Company still is a shell company, meaning it has minimal assets, and minimal if any business operations.
8
The Company’s principal business now is to locate private operating companies that may wish to merge with the Company in a reverse merger transaction. Meanwhile, the Company will be relying on continued cash advances from Mr. Tesheb Casimir to pay general and administrative costs and the substantial fees and expenses of QPRJ being a public company. These advances will be booked as debt owed to Mr. Tesheb Casimir, however, the Company may issue stock in payment of the advances.
The criteria for suitable companies are not limited to any kind of business, results of operations to date, or prospective operations. While we expect most candidates to be based in either Hong Kong or the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”), we are not limited to those areas.
We anticipate engaging third party consultants to assist in the location of possible merger candidates. These consultants will not be affiliated or associated with any QPRJ stockholder, officer, or director, or any affiliate of associate of any such stockholder, officer, or director. No consultant will be paid “transaction-based compensation” for their services – meaning that we will not pay any compensation at closing based on the size of the acquisition or the success of the merged company as measured by stock market price or financial performance after the acquisition. Our consultants will not be involved in the negotiation of terms for a merger or the preparation of merger documents, will not recommend a merger to a merger candidate, or be involved in the collection, transmittal, or other handling of stock or cash in connection with the merger.
We expect that the terms of a merger will depend on negotiations with the merger candidate, which in turn will be a function of the candidate’s past, current and prospective business operations, financial metrics (net assets, revenues, operating and other costs, and other factors). In general, the stronger the candidate’s business and financial metrics, the greater the percentage of the merged company which the merged company’s stockholders will own. The range of QPRJ’s retained equity in the merged company is expected to be from 1% to 30%.
In the normative case, the merger would be structured as an all stock-for-stock exchange, of new Rule 144 restricted stock (most likely common stock only), to minimize if not avoid completely U.S. and foreign income taxation of the transaction. However, it is possible that some cash could be paid to QPRJ’s stockholders in connection with a mostly stock-for-stock transaction.
QPRJ has only one director, Mr. Tesheb Casimir. Mr. Casimir has extensive business experience covering many years, but he has no experience in the “shell company merger and acquisition” sector. Although he will take into consideration all the advice provided by third-party consultants, he will make the ultimate decision as to proceed with merging QPRJ with an operating company.
Under Nevada law and the Company’s articles of incorporation, a reverse merger with an operating company will require the approval of the holders of a majority of QPRJ’s outstanding common stock, and by the holders of any other class of stock (for example, preferred stock), that may be adversely impacted by a reverse merger). Great On presently owns a majority of the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, any reverse merger will require only its approval. Although all other shareholders will be entitled to notice of the decision to approve the merger (which the Company would give by distribution of an Information Statement), they will not be entitled to vote for or against the merger. However, the other such stockholders will be entitled to payment of the fair value of their stock immediately preceding the merger, often referred to as “Dissenters’ Rights,” provided each dissenter follows the procedures to perfect his or her right to payment, as mandated by Nevada law. Appropriate instructions for these procedures will be provided to all stockholders of QPRJ, in sufficient time for them to qualify for payment of fair value.
9
Stock market reception to a reverse merger, particularly for small companies like QPRJ, always is uncertain. There is no assurance that a merger of QPRJ with even a quite large operating and successful business, will result in stock price appreciation.
Item 1(a) - Risk Factors
The Company likely will require continuing financial support from its principal stockholder to sustain operations, but such support is not assured
The Company’s principal business now is to locate private operating companies that may wish to merge with the Company in a reverse merger transaction. Meanwhile the Company will be relying on continued cash advances from Mr. Tesheb Casimir to pay general and administrative costs and the substantial fees and expenses of QPRJ being a public company. These advances will not be booked as debt owed to Mr. Tesheb Casimir, nor will the Company issue stock in payment of the advances.
Although making such advances would be in Mr. Tesheb Casimir’s interest as the principal stockholder of QPRJ, he is not required to do so and has not funded a credit line or other facility to ensure QPRJ’s access to capital as needed.
The Company will rely on its one director to manage the Company, and His Decisions May Present Potential Conflicts of Interest.
Mr. Casimir is the only officer and director of QPRJ. All stockholders will have to rely solely on his judgment as to how best manage the Company and decide which merger candidates should be considered and, if appropriate, merge into QPRJ.
Our Common Stock represents an illiquid investment, and there are risks associated with investing in companies trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board.
Although the Company is approved for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, for over 12 months trading has been sporadic and low volume. We cannot be certain that a sufficiently active market will develop to allow you to sell your shares. Accordingly, a purchase of the shares must be considered a long term investment and only for investors who can tolerate the loss of their entire investment. In addition to the risks of investing in our stock, there are separate risks associated with investing in and trading the stock of companies listed on the OTC BB, including:
10
|
·
|
Absence of listing standards. Companies listed on NASDAQ or national stock exchanges have to maintain strict standards of corporate governance (a majority of independent directors, and audit, compensation, and nominating committees comprised of independent directors), a minimum stock price, and various matters which have to be approved by shareholders. OTC BB traded companies are not subject to such standards.
|
|
·
|
Inefficient trading and lower liquidity. Stockholders of OTC BB companies frequently have difficulty in getting buy/sell orders filled promptly, and/or at expected prices.
|
|
·
|
Lower trading volume. Though some OTC BB companies experience occasional periods of heavy trading, many OTC BB companies have lower trading volume, which contributes to the illiquidity of investing in such companies.
|
The OTC Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTC Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company. The only requirement for inclusion in the OTC Bulletin Board is that the issuer be current in its SEC reporting requirements, and that the issuer obligate itself to file periodic reports and otherwise comply with those provisions of the 1934 Act applicable to it. Investors may have greater difficulty in getting orders filled because our stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on NASDAQ. Investors’ orders may be filled at a price much different than expected when an order is placed. Trading activity in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with NASDAQ-listed securities. Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTC Bulletin Board securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.
OTC Bulletin Board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the Bulletin Board, they are conducted by telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders for an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price, the price of a stock may go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
Because OTC Bulletin Board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities. See also “Risk Factors Associated with Investing in Reverse Merger Companies.”
11
Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock
It is extremely unlikely that QPRJ will have positive earnings in the future. And it is unlikely that a reverse merger with an operating company will result in earnings sufficient to pay dividends. It is much more likely that such future earnings would be retained to finance the business. In any event, payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of the future Board of Directors (following a reverse merger), taking into account the merged companies’ revenues, financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and other factors. Accordingly, investors that are seeking cash dividends should not purchase our Common Stock.
Because we will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules once our shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
Some of the Risks Associated with Investing in Reverse Merger Companies
As with any investment, investors should proceed with caution when considering whether to invest in reverse merger companies. Many companies either fail or struggle to remain viable following a reverse merger. Also, as with other kinds of investments, there have been instances of fraud and other abuses involving reverse merger companies. In light of these considerations, individual investors should take into account their own financial situation, consult their financial adviser, and perform thorough research concerning these types of companies.
Some, but not all, of the considerations to be made are
|
·
|
Reverse merger companies often are not able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms. Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of a reverse merger company, since there is little incentive to the firms to recommend the purchase of the Common Stock. And, there is no assurance that such brokerage firms would want to conduct any securities offerings on behalf of the company in the future to raise needed capital.
|
12
|
·
|
A reverse merger often involves the merger of a foreign company into a domestic shell company (like QPRJ, a Nevada corporation), where new management has no experience in managing and operating a public company. Any failure to comply or adequately comply with US Federal securities laws, rules or regulations could subject the merged company to fines or regulatory actions, which could materially adversely affect the business, results of operations, and financial condition.
|
|
·
|
The merged company will incur significant ongoing costs to ensure compliance with US corporate governance and financial accounting requirements, and internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to meet the filing and internal control reporting retirements imposed by the SEC may result in a drop in investor confidence, and thus result in a decline in the price of the stock and an inability to obtain future financing on favorable terms.
|
Competition in the Reverse Merger Sector
There are numerous shell companies seeking good reverse merger operating company candidates, including “special purpose acquisition companies” (often referred to as “SPACs”). The resulting competition limits the number of viable opportunities for shell companies, like QPRJ, that have little if any cash to contribute immediately to the merged company after the transaction is completed. SPACs, on the other hand, may have from several million to many millions of dollars on hand to devote to the merged enterprise, which is a strong competitive advantage in shopping for merger candidates.
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
Certain important certificates, permits, and licenses are subject to PRC governmental control and renewal, and the failure to obtain renewal would adversely impact our business.
It is likely that we will be looking for reverse merger candidate companies in the PRC. However, doing business in the PRC is subject to compliance with numerous permits and licenses. Licenses and permits must be complied with and renewed periodically. During the application or renewal process, businesses will be evaluated and re-evaluated by the appropriate governmental authorities and must comply with the prevailing standards and regulations, which may change from time to time. In the event that the company with which were merger is not able to obtain or renew the certificates, permits and licenses, all or part of the combined companies’ PRC operations may be suspended by the government, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, if escalating compliance costs associated with governmental standards and regulations restrict or prohibit any part of the operations, it may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The combined companies’ operations generally will be subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign invested enterprises in China. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to intellectual property rights and various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
13
If we merge with a PRC company, all of our assets will be located outside the United States, and it will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against the Company and our officers, directors and assets based in China.
Although QPRJ is a Nevada corporation, our sole officer and director resides outside of the United States and all our assets are located outside the United States. It is likely that this will not change if we merge with a PRC operating company. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to effect service of process within the United States upon the directors or officers, or enforce against any of them court judgments obtained in United States’ courts, including judgments relating to United States federal securities laws. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC or Hong Kong would recognize or enforce judgments of United States’ courts obtained against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States, or have jurisdiction to hear original actions brought in the United States predicated upon the securities laws of the United States. Furthermore, it would be extremely difficult to access those assets to satisfy an award entered against us in United States courts.

Item 6 - Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Background and Compensation Philosophy
Our board of directors consists of one person, Mr. Tesheb Casimir. When QPRJ was a fully operating company, the board of directors historically determined the compensation to be paid to executive officers based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, the level of compensation paid to similarly situated executives in comparably sized companies, and contributions made by the officers’ to our success. Each of the named officers was measured by a series of performance criteria by the board of directors, on a yearly basis. Such criteria were set forth based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.
The board of directors (now, Mr. Tesheb Casimir) has not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to him. He presently is not compensated for services.
Elements of Compensation
The Company has not paid compensation to its officers since 2008, and does not expect to begin paying compensation until such time as operations warrant.
Base Salary
Mr. Claude Diedrick served as president since September 2008, and was not been paid any compensation for service.
Discretionary Bonus
We have not provided our executive officers with any discretionary bonuses but our board of directors may consider the necessity of such scheme in the future based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, the level of compensation paid to similarly situated executives in comparably sized companies and contributions made by the officers’ to our success.
Equity Incentives
We have not established equity based incentive program and have not granted stock based awards as a component of compensation. In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted if our board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to do so.
Retirement Benefits
Our executive officers are not presently entitled to company-sponsored retirement benefits.
Perquisites
We have not provided our executive officers with any material perquisites and other personal benefits and, therefore, we do not view perquisites as a significant or necessary element of our executive’s compensation.
16
Deferred Compensation
We do not provide our executives the opportunity to defer receipt of annual compensation.
The following table sets forth information for the period indicated with respect to the persons who served as our CEO, CFO and other most highly compensated executive officers who served on our board of directors in the fiscal years stated.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our present and prior directors and officers or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation in which we own shares of capital stock or of which we are a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any actions, suits or proceedings in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of us or of such other corporation, in the absence of negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.
17
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us is in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.
Compensation of Directors
Members of our Board of Directors receive no compensation for service.
