CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Description of
Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All statements other than
statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K,
including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance,

“continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,”
“potential,” “predicts,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or
other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward-looking statements
unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee
their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined
under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which may
cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or

activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is
not
possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact

all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination
of
factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained

assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this
Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results could differ
materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the

SHARE
EXCHANGE
The
Share Exchange
On
August
29, 2007, China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation
(the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Exchange Agreement”) with Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific
Capital Group”) a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of
Vanuatu, and the shareholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Shareholders”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to
transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific
Capital Group to the Registrant in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate
of
22,645,348 shares of the Registrant’s common stock to the Shareholders, thereby
causing Pacific Capital Group to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant (the “Share Exchange”).
Upon
closing of the Share Exchange on November 8, 2007, the Shareholders of Pacific
Capital Group delivered all of their equity capital in Pacific Capital Group
to
the Registrant in exchange for 22,645,348 shares of common stock of the
Registrant. The Share Exchange resulted in Pacific Capital Group, and Pacific
Capital Group’s operating subsidiary, TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd., a
Chinese limited liability company (“TaiAn”) becoming wholly and majority owned
subsidiaries, respectively, of the Registrant.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, at closing, the Shareholders received
226,453 shares of the Registrant’s common stock for each issued and outstanding
share of common stock of Pacific Capital Group. As a result, at closing
the Registrant issued a total of 22,645,348 shares of its common stock to the
former shareholders of Pacific Capital Group. Neither the Registrant nor Pacific
Capital Group had any options or warrants to purchase shares of capital stock
outstanding immediately prior to or following the Share Exchange.
The
shares of the Registrant’s common stock issued in connection with the Share
Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act.
These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
Certificates representing these shares contain a legend stating the same.
Prior
to
the announcement by the Company relating to the entry into the Share Exchange,
there were no material relationships between the Company or Pacific Capital
Group, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any
associates of their respective officers or directors.
Changes
Resulting from the Share Exchange
At
this
time, the Company intends to carry on the business of Pacific Capital Group’s
subsidiary, TaiAn as its sole line of business. The Company has relocated its
executive offices to Wenyang County, Feicheng City, Shandong Province, China
271603 and changed its telephone number to 86
538
3850 703.
Changes
to the Board of Directors
Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, upon closing of the Share Exchange
Anna
Herbst, Cosmo Palimieri and Frank Pioppi resigned as directors and officers
of
the Registrant and Dian Min Ma was appointed as the Registrant’s Chairman of the
Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Secretary, Xing Fu Lu
was appointed as the Registrant’s President, Jin
Tian
was appointed as a director, and Gang Ma was appointed as the
Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer. All directors hold office for one-year
terms until the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are
elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board
of
directors.
Accounting
Treatment; Change of Control
The
Share
Exchange is being accounted for as a “reverse merger,” since the stockholders of
Pacific Capital Group own a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Registrant’s common stock immediately following the Share Exchange. Pacific
Capital Group is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently,
the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected
in the financial statements for periods prior to the Share Exchange will be
those of Pacific Capital Group and its subsidiary and will be recorded at the
historical cost basis of Pacific Capital Group. After completion of the Share
Exchange, the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements will include the
assets and liabilities of both the Registrant and Pacific Capital Group, the
historical operations of Pacific Capital Group and the operations of the
Registrant and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Share Exchange.
Except as described in the previous paragraphs, no arrangements or
understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with
respect to the election of members of the Company’s board of directors and, to
our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of
control of the Company. Further, as a result of the issuance of the shares
of
the Registrant’s common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange, a change in
control of the Company occurred on the date of consummation of the Share
Exchange.
DESCRIPTION
OF THE COMPANY
As
used
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references hereinafter to the “Company,”
“we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange
refer to the Registrant, and for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share
Exchange refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
Overview
The
Registrant was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November
15,
1955, under the name "Inland Mineral Resources Corp." We were formed for the
purpose of engaging in all lawful businesses. Subsequent to our inception,
we
engaged in various real estate development projects. We entered into several
business acquisitions with subsidiaries and held various limited partnership
interests related to real property development. These operations were not
successful, and we discontinued the majority of our operations by 1981. We
were
dormant as the result of the revocation of our corporate charter by the State
of
Delaware due to our failure to pay the required franchise taxes from 1984 until
1997. In 1997, our corporate charter was reinstated. On March 12, 2007 pursuant
to a vote by the Company’s shareholders, we changed our name to China RuiTai
International Holdings Co., Ltd. Prior to the completion of the Share Exchange,
the Registrant was a shell company having no operations, employees, or assets.
As
a
result of the Share Exchange described in this Item 2.01, Pacific Capital Group
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Pacific Capital Group was
incorporated on November 26, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu
as a
holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or
acquisition with a business entity. On April 26, 2007, following the approval
by
the relevant governmental authorities in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”),
Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn RuiTai
Cellulose Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company (“TaiAn”), incorporated
in the PRC on November 10, 1999. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn became
a
majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group. Pacific Capital, through
TaiAn, engages in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of cellulose
ether. Through the closing of the Share Exchange, the Registrant succeeded
to
the business of TaiAn as its sole line of business. TaiAn is based in Feicheng
City, Shandong Province, PRC.
The
Chart
below depicts the corporate structure of China RuiTai International Holdings
Co., Ltd. as of the date of this 8-K. As
depicted below, the Registrant owns 100% of the capital stock of Pacific Capital
Group and has no other subsidiaries. Pacific Capital Group owns 99% of the
capital stock of TaiAn and has no other subsidiaries. TaiAn has no subsidiaries.
DESCRIPTION
OF OUR BUSINESS
As
used
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references hereinafter to the “Company,”
“we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange
refer to the Registrant, and for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share
Exchange refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
Company
Overview
The
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Capital Group and its
majority-owned subsidiary, TaiAn, is engaged in the production, sales, and
exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic
cellulose ether products. Cellulose ether is an organic chemical that dissolves
in water and other organic solvents. Due to the surface-active properties of
cellulose ether, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in aqueous solutions,
making it a beneficial additive in a wide variety of commercial industries
and
products, including, but not limited to the pharmaceutical industry, the
construction industry, PVC products, food and beverage products, petroleum,
and
cosmetics. Specific examples of applications in which cellulose ether products
are used include: as a stabilizer and thickener in latex paint; in mortar dry
mix for building materials; to improve the performance of resin in PVC
production; as a membrane reagent, stabilizer, and thickener in pharmaceuticals;
and to improve jam, ice cream, toothpaste and lipsticks in the food and cosmetic
industries. TaiAn is one of the largest non-ionic cellulose ether producers
in
China.
Products
TaiAn
has
twelve major product lines which are marketed under its brand name “RuiTai.”
TaiAn’s product lines, which are all focused around and related to cellulose
ether, include: 1) Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC); 2) Methyl Cellulose
(MC); 3) Ethyl Cellulose Aqueous Dispersion (EAD); 4) Ethyl Cellulose (EC);
5)
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC); 6) CMC; 7) Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC);
8)
HEMC; 9) Hypromellose Phthalate (HPMCP); 10) Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC);
and
11) Film Coating Pre-Mixed Reagent. Cellulose ether is an organic chemical
that
dissolves in water and other organic solvents. Due to the surface-active
properties of cellulose ether, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in aqueous
solutions, making it a beneficial additive in a wide variety of commercial
industries and products, including, but not limited to the pharmaceutical
industry, the construction industry, PVC products, food and beverage products,
petroleum, and cosmetics. Specific examples of applications in which TaiAn’s
products are used include: as a stabilizer and thickener in latex paint; in
mortar dry mix for building materials; to improve the performance of resin
in
PVC production; as a membrane reagent, stabilizer, and thickener in
pharmaceuticals; and to improve jam, ice cream, toothpaste and lipsticks in
the
food and cosmetic industries.
Research
and Development and New Products
Research
and development of new products and innovation has been emphasized throughout
TaiAn’s corporate existence. TaiAn has a scientific research center equipped
with sophisticated experimental facilities and testing instruments for
conducting preliminary and pilot processes for the development of new products.
New
products that the Company has introduced over the last few years as a result
of
its research and development include HPMC, MC, HPC, and EAD.
Distribution
Methods
TaiAn
distributes its products through two primary methods of distribution: 1)
directly to end-users who have ordered the product directly from the Company;
and 2) through sales agents working at sales offices throughout the PRC. The
end-user method of sales and distribution, accounts for 95% of TaiAn’s total
sales volume. Additionally, TaiAn operates thirty sales offices throughout
China. TaiAn currently operates four offices in both Beijing and Shanghai,
and
operates a single office in each of the following cities: Guangzhou, Qingdao,
Nanjing, QiongXing, ChengDu, Shenyang, and Urumqi.
Customers
and Marketing
Customers
TaiAn’s
customers include the following companies, Sinopenc Qilu Petrochemical, Shanghai
Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd., Beijing Huaer Co., Ltd., and Guangzhou
Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. TaiAn is also a designated oil field
material supplier for Xinjiang Kelamayi Oil Field. TaiAn also exports
approximately 1,700 tons of ether products, to foreign markets in the United
States, Europe, India, the Middle East, and South East Asia.
Marketing
TaiAn
employs a sales manager who is in charge of organizing and overseeing the
Company’s marketing and advertising program which is designed to promote the
RuiTai brand through commercial advertisements, sales record tracking, customer
consultations, service quality improvements, pricing scheme decisions, and
participation at industry conferences, all of which are designed to enhance
the
Company’s brand name recognition and popularity. In
addition to the operation of its marketing department, TaiAn also focuses on
customer service and has established internal controls and procedures as well
as
employee training focused on meeting its customers’ needs. In an effort to
maximize its customer satisfaction, TaiAn maintains user profiles of its
customers and compiles and responds to customer requests, suggestions, and
complaints. Post-sales support is provided to TaiAn’s customers, and if
necessary sales representatives will visit customers’ businesses to respond to
and address any issues relating to the quality of TaiAn’s products.
Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials
The
two
major raw materials required for the production of cellulose ether products
are:
1) purified cotton; and 2) etherifying epoxy propane. China is a predominantly
agricultural country that produces significant amounts of purified cotton.
TaiAn
is located in Feicheng City in the Shandong Province, a region known for its
cotton production. As a result of its location, it is convenient for TaiAn
to
obtain adequate supplies of high-quality cotton at competitive prices to
facilitate the production of its products. In addition to our need for cotton,
we also utilize large amounts of etherifying epoxy propane in the production
of
our products. Within the Shandong Province, Qilu Petrochemical Company, Shandong
Insecticide Factory, and Shandong Dongda Company all produce large quantities
of
etherifying epoxy propane each year. Thus, the assurance of an adequate supply
of this raw material is also expected for the near future.
Intellectual
Property
The
Company has registered the trademark “RuiTai” with the Trademark Bureau, State
Administration for Industry and Commerce, People’s Republic of China. The
Company does not own any other trademarks or patents.
Other
parties are actively developing cellulose ether products. We expect these
parties to continue to take steps to protect these technologies, including
seeking patent protection. There may be patents issued or pending that are
held
by others and cover significant parts of our technology, business methods or
services. We cannot be certain that our products do not or will not infringe
on
any valid patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by
third parties. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims, from time
to
time, relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course
of
our business.
In
addition, we may license technology from third parties. The market is evolving
and we may need to license additional technologies to remain competitive. We
may
not be able to license these technologies on commercially reasonable terms
or at
all. In addition, we may fail to successfully integrate any licensed technology
into our services. Our inability to obtain any of these licenses could delay
product and service development until alternative technologies can be
identified, licensed and integrated.
Government
Regulation
The
Company is subject to regulation by both the PRC central government and local
governmental agencies located in Feicheng City. In
the
ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to numerous
environmental laws and regulations covering compliance matters or imposing
liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites,
past
spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. Changes in
environmental laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s financial position and results of operations. Any failure by the
Company to adequately comply with such laws and regulations could subject the
Company to significant future liabilities.
Employees
TaiAn
currently employs 626 full time employees.
Reports
to Security Holders
We
are
required to file reports with the SEC under section 13(a) of the Securities
Act.
The
reports will be filed electronically. You may read copies of any materials
we
file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Room
1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation
of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC
also maintains an Internet site that will contain copies of the reports we
file
electronically. The address for the SEC Internet site is http://www.sec.gov.
Risk
Factors
AN
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IN EVALUATING
OUR
BUSINESS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. NO PURCHASE OF
OUR
COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE MADE BY ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT IN A POSITION TO LOSE
THE
ENTIRE AMOUNT OF HIS INVESTMENT. THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY
ONES
THAT WE FACE. OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED AS A RESULT
OF THESE RISKS.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
Changes
in expected demand for cellulose ether products may adversely affect the
Company’s ability to market its products.
Unexpected
changes to the global economy or the introduction of a new or different product
that is found to be superior in quality or more environmentally friendly than
the Company’s current products would adversely affect the Company’s revenues and
results of operations.
The
Company’s ability to operate at a profit is partially dependent on market prices
for petroleum, purified cotton and etherifying epoxy propane. If the prices
of
these products rise too much, the Company’s profits are likely to
decline.
The
Company’s manufacturing process relies in part on petroleum, purified cotton and
etherifying epoxy propane. Future price fluctuations in these products may
adversely affect the Company’s gross profit margin, which could ultimately
impact the Company’s net profit.
The
Company’s reliance upon third party suppliers of raw materials may hinder its
ability to be profitable.
In
addition to being dependent upon the availability and price of raw materials
including purified cotton and etherifying epoxy propane, the Company will be
dependent on relationships with the third party suppliers of these raw
materials. Although, the Company currently has been able to satisfy its supply
requirements through local Chinese companies, there is no guarantee that these
favorable conditions will remain intact. The Company’s suppliers may not be able
to continue to meet the Company’s needs. Competition for purified cotton and
etherifying epoxy propane may result in higher prices and lower profit margins
from the sale of the Company’s products. Also, if the Company is unable to
obtain adequate quantities of raw materials at economically viable prices,
the
Company could lose its current competitive pricing in the industry. This could
result in lost sales to competitors. The Company’s business could become
unprofitable and investors may lose their entire investment in the Company.
The
Company faces significant business competition.
The
market for cellulose ether products remains competitive. Management believes
its
ability to compete depends on many factors including the following:
|
• |
The
Company’s ability to market its existing products and develop new products
based on changing technology;
|
|
• |
The
performance, functionality, price and reliability of its
products;
|
|
• |
The
Company’s global sales and marketing
efforts;
|
|
• |
The
Company’s customer service and support efforts;
and
|
|
•
|
The
relative impact of general economic and industry conditions on either
the
Company or its competitors.
|
Other
competitive factors include the Company’s competitors’ reputation, financial
resources, knowledge of the advertising market, corporate governance and
financial controls, geographical coverage, customer relationships, technological
capability and quality and breadth of products.
The
primary method of distribution that the Company utilizes for the delivery of
its
products to its customers is by shipping the products that the Customers have
ordered directly to the Customers.
The
primary method of distribution that the Company utilizes for the delivery of
its
products to its customers is by shipping the products that the Customers have
ordered directly to the Customers. Any increase in the cost of shipping is
likely to affect the Company’s competitive position and net profit.
The
Company’s future success will depend on the its ability to effectively promote
and market its products.
The
Company’s future success will depend in large part on its ability to market and
promote its products to new customers. The Company’s inability to effectively
market and promote both its current products, and new products, will limit
the
Company’s ability to grow and develop and will subsequently adversely impact the
its revenues and results of operations.
Future
regulations could be enacted that either directly restrict or indirectly impact
the Company’s products and services.
The
Company is subject to direct regulation by the PRC government, including
regulations applicable to businesses generally, as well as regulations directly
applicable to the Company’s industry. The Company is also subject to regulations
in foreign countries in which it exports its products. The PRC government and/or
foreign governments could adopt regulations covering issues such as
environmental, health, safety, and/or quality standards as well as changes
in
taxation of the Company’s products and services. If enacted, government
regulations could limit the market for the Company’s products and services.
Future
success will depend on the Company’s ability to enhance its existing products
and services and to develop and introduce new products and
services.
The
Company’s future success will depend in large part on its ability to enhance and
broaden its products to meet the increasing changes and advances in technology
related to the cellulose ether production industry. The Company’s markets are
characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service
introductions, and evolving industry standards. To achieve the Company’s goals,
it will need to respond effectively to technological changes and new industry
standards and developments. In addition, the Company’s product enhancements must
meet the requirements of current and prospective customers and must achieve
significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs
if
it needs to modify its products, services or information technology
infrastructure to adapt to these changes, standards and
developments.
As
the Company expands its international operations, it will be exposed to
additional new business risks.
The
Company intends to develop its international operations. This expansion will
require additional resources and management attention and will subject the
Company to new regulatory, economic and political risks. Given the Company’s
limited experience in international markets, it cannot be sure that its
international expansion will be successful. In addition, the Company will face
new risks in doing business internationally. These risks could reduce demand
for
its products and services, lower the prices at which it can sell its products
and services, or otherwise have an adverse effect on its operating results.
Among the risks the Company believes most likely to affect it are:
|
• |
Longer
payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts
receivable;
|
|
• |
Adverse
changes in trade and tax
regulations;
|
|
• |
The
absence or significant lack of legal protection for intellectual
property
rights;
|
|
• |
Political
and economic instability; and
|
The
Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and
regulations.
In
the
ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to numerous
environmental laws and regulations covering compliance matters or imposing
liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites,
past
spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. Changes in these
laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position and results of operations. Any failure by the Company to
adequately comply with such laws and regulations could subject the Company
to
significant future liabilities.
Our
success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary
rights.
Success
depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of the Company’s product
design and other proprietary technology. The unauthorized reproduction or other
misappropriation of the Company’s products could enable third parties to benefit
from the Company’s technology without paying us for it. This could have a
material adverse effect on business, operating results and financial condition.
Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited
protection. Moreover, the laws of other countries in which the Company intends
to market its products may afford little or no effective protection of its
intellectual property. If the Company resorts to legal proceedings to enforce
its intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and
expensive, even if the Company were to prevail.
Claims
by other companies that the Company’s technology infringes on their proprietary
technology could force the Company to redesign its products or otherwise hurt
its financial condition.
If
the
Company were to discover that any of its products violated third-party
proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able
to
reengineer the product or to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms,
if at all, to continue offering the product without substantial reengineering.
However, the Company does not and has not conducted comprehensive patent
searches on all technology components to determine whether the technologies
used
in its products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product
development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly developing technology
environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many
of
which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies. Any
claim of infringement could cause the Company to incur substantial costs
defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract
management from its business. Furthermore, a party making such a claim could
secure a judgment that requires the Company to pay substantial damages. A
judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could
prevent the Company from selling its products or cause its customers to stop
using the Company’s products.
Risks
Relating to Share Exchange
Following
the Share Exchange, the Company’s directors and executive officers beneficially
own a substantial percentage of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which
gives them control over certain major decisions on which the Company’s
stockholders may vote, which may discourage an acquisition of the
Company.
The
Company’s directors and executive officers collectively as a group beneficially
own, in the aggregate, approximately 88.6% of the Company’s outstanding common
stock. The interests of the Company’s management may differ from the interests
of other stockholders. As a result, the Company’s executive management will have
the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring
stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders may
vote, including the following actions:
· |
Electing
or defeating the election of
directors;
|
· |
Amending
or preventing amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
By-laws;
|
· |
Effecting
or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction;
and
|
· |
Controlling
the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for
vote.
|
The
Company’s management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from
seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock
price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the
Company’s stock price.
Because
TaiAn became public by means of a share exchange, the Company may not be able
to
attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
There
may
be risks associated with TaiAn’s becoming public through a share exchange.
Specifically, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide
coverage of the Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to
recommend the purchase of the Company’s common stock. No assurance can be given
that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary
offerings on behalf of the Company.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
Resale
of our Shares may be difficult because there is not an active trading market
for
our Shares, and it is possible that no market will develop. This may reduce
or
limit the potential value of our shares.
Our
common stock is approved for trading on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "CRUI." However, limited
trading activity has occurred during the past two years and there is no current
trading market. As a result, no historical price information is available.
We
cannot guarantee that a trading market for our common stock will develop, or
if
developed, will be maintained. Efforts by current shareholders to complete
re-sales of "restricted securities" pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities
and
Exchange Commission may make it difficult for a trading market to develop,
or if
a trading market does develop, may substantially reduce the market price of
our
common stock.
Risks
Relating to Doing Business in the PRC
The
PRC’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental
policies, could affect the financial markets in the PRC, our liquidity and
access to capital, and our ability to operate our business.
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. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most
developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government
involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange
and
allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant
growth, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors
of
the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage
economic growth and to guide the allocation of resources. The PRC economy has
been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy.
Although the PRC government has implemented measures since the late 1970s
emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction
of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved
corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of
productive assets in the PRC are still owned by the PRC government. In addition,
the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry
development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises
significant control over its economic growth through the allocation of
resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations,
setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular
industries or companies. Since late 2003, the PRC government has implemented
a
number of measures, such as raising bank reserves against deposit rates to
place
additional limitations on the ability of commercial banks to make loans and
raise interest rates, in order to slow down specific segments of the PRC’s
economy. These actions, as well as future actions and policies of the PRC
government, could materially affect our liquidity and access to capital and
our
ability to operate our business.
The
PRC legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections
available to us.
The
PRC
legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common
law
systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential
value. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system
of
laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect
of legislation has been significantly enhanced protections afforded to various
forms of foreign investment in the PRC. However, these laws, regulations and
legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement
involve uncertainties. For example, we may have to resort to administrative
and
court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law
or
contract. However, because PRC administrative and court authorities have
significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and
contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of
administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy
than in more developed legal systems. In addition, such uncertainties, including
the inability to enforce our contracts, could materially and adversely affect
our business and operation. Also, intellectual property rights and
confidentiality protections in the PRC may not be as effective as in the United
States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future
developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the medical
industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws
or
the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local
regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal
protections available to us.
U.S.
investors may experience difficulties in attempting to enforce judgments based
upon U.S. federal securities laws against us and our non-U.S. resident
director.
All
of
our operations and our assets are located outside the United States. In
addition, all of our officers and directors are foreign citizens. As a result,
it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to enforce judgments of
U.S. courts for civil liabilities against any of our individual directors or
officers.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
As
used
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references hereinafter to the “Company,”
“we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange
refer to the Registrant, and for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share
Exchange refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
The
following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our
financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and
capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning
forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the
uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking
statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not
significantly affected by inflation.
Company
Overview
The
Registrant was originally incorporated in Delaware on November 15, 1955, under
the name "Inland Mineral Resources Corp." and was formed for the purpose of
engaging in all lawful businesses. On March 12, 2007, the Registrant changed
its
name to China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd. On November 8, 2007,
the
Registrant acquired Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., and its majority-owned
subsidiary, TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd., pursuant to the terms of the
Exchange Agreement discussed in item 2.01 above. This transaction was accounted
for as a “reverse merger” with Pacific Capital Group deemed to be the accounting
acquirer and the Registrant as the legal acquirer. Consequently, the assets
and
liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the
financial statements for periods prior to the Share Exchange will be those
of
Pacific Capital Group and its subsidiary and will be recorded at the historical
cost basis of Pacific Capital Group. After completion of the Share Exchange,
the
Registrant’s consolidated financial statements will include the assets and
liabilities of both the Registrant and Pacific Capital Group, the historical
operations of Pacific Capital Group and the operations of the Registrant and
its
subsidiaries from the closing date of the Share Exchange.
Pacific
Capital Group was incorporated on November 26, 2006 under the laws of the
Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and
consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity. On April 26, 2007,
following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the Peoples
Republic of China (“PRC”), Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership
interest in TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability
company, incorporated in the PRC on November 10, 1999. Subsequent to the
transaction, TaiAn became a majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group.
Pacific Capital, through TaiAn, engages in the development, manufacturing,
and
distribution of cellulose ether. As such, Pacific Capital Group does not conduct
any substantive operations of its own, but rather conducts its primary business
operations through TaiAn, a Chinese company that established in November 1999
and
specializes in chemical manufacturing. As a result of the Share Exchange,
the
Registrant intends to carry on the business of Pacific Capital Group’s
subsidiary, TaiAn as its sole line of business.
Results
of Operations
Our
financial statements are stated in US Dollars and are prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principals of the United States
(“GAAP”).
Consolidated
Results of Operation for Pacific Capital Group and TaiAn for the Six-Months
Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to the Six-Months Ended June 30,
2006.
Revenues.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, Pacific Capital Group had revenues of
$16,588,463 as compared to revenues of $12,502,780 during the six months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of approximately 32.7%. This increase is attributable
to an increase in sales due to greater demand for cellulose ether products,
higher production capabilities of the Company, and the introduction of new
products by the Company.
Gross
Profit.
Cost of
goods sold, which consists of direct labor, overhead and product costs, were
$10,553,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $7,861,413
for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit was $6,035,315 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $4,641,367 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, representing gross margins of approximately 36.4% and 37.1%
respectively. The decrease in gross profit margins is attributable to an
insufficient amount of increase in sales relative to an increased amount of
cost
of goods sold during the six months ending June 30, 2007.
Selling
Expenses.
Selling
expenses which consist of advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges,
exporting expenses, and sales commissions totaled $997,371 for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $851,251 for the six months ended June 30,
2006, an increase of approximately 17.2%. This increase is primarily
attributable to expanding sales team and activities, which are in turn reflected
in increased sales.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
General
and administrative expenses totaled $577,909 for the six months ended June
30,
2007, as compared to $801,843 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease
of approximately 27.9%. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease
in
repair and maintenance expenses and a decrease in bad debt expenses for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007.
Net
Income.
The
Company had a net income of $2,748,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
as
compared to $1,670,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Comprehensive
income, taking into account foreign currency conversion was $2,886,270 and
$1,689,989 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006
respectively. The increase in net income is attributable to an increase in sales
and a decrease in general and administrative expenses. TaiAn’s management
believes that net income will continue to increase as TaiAn introduces new
products, increases sales, and expands production capacity.
Net
Cash From Operations.
Net
cash derived
from
operating activities totaled $1,163,592 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
as compared to net cash used
by
operating activities of $777,779 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in net cash derived was primarily due to an increase in net income
as
well as a decrease in inventory and an increase in accounts and taxes
payable.
Net
Cash Used For Investing.
Net
cash used
in
investing activities was $4,578,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and
net cash provided
by
investing activities was $1,081,383 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The
increase in net cash used was primarily the result of the purchase of fixed
assets and an increase in the amount of short term loans to a shareholder.
Net
Cash Provided By Financing Activities.
Net
cash used by financing activities totaled $779,193 for the six months ended
June
30, 2007 as compared to net cash used by financing activities of $1,111,427
for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. The reason for this decrease in the amount
of net cash used was because of a decrease in restricted cash to secure bank
checks.
Inventories.
Inventories at June 30, 2007 were $4,949,837.
Results
of Operations of TaiAn for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the
Year
Ended December 31, 2005.
Revenues.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, TaiAn had revenues of $28,090,238 as compared
to revenues of $23,644,780 during the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase
of approximately 18.8%. This increase is attributable to an increase in sales
due to greater demand for cellulose ether products, higher production
capabilities of the Company, and the introduction of new products by the
Company. Management believes that its sales will continue to grow because of
the
increasing global demand for cellulose ether products as well as the increased
production capabilities of the Company resulting in the potential for increased
sales.
Gross
Profit.
Cost of
goods sold, which consists of direct labor, overhead and product costs, were
$19,153,553 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $16,498,898
for
the year ended December 31, 2005. Gross profit was $8,963,685 for the year
ended
December 31, 2006 as compared to $7,145,882 for the year ended December 31,
2005, representing gross margins of approximately 31.8% and 30.2%, respectively.
The increase in gross profits is attributable to increased sales. Management
believes that this trend will continue as sales are expected to increase while
gross margin will remain relatively stable at the current level.
Selling
Expenses.
Selling
expenses which consist of advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges,
exporting expenses, and sales commissions totaled $2,128,099 for the year ended
December 31, 2006 as compared to $1,719,372 for the year ended December 31,
2005, an increase of approximately 23.8%. This increase is primarily
attributable to expanding sales team and activities, which are in turn reflected
in increased sales. TaiAn management believes that its selling expenses will
continue to increase as sales continue to grow.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
General
and administrative expenses totaled $1,491,118 for the year ended December
31,
2006, as compared to $1,170,581 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an
increase of approximately 27.4%. This increase is primarily attributable to
the
expansion of TaiAn’s sales and operations.
Net
Income.
The
Company had a net income of $3,036,362 for the year ended December 31, 2006
as
compared to $2,851,086 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Comprehensive
income, taking into account foreign currency conversion was $3,142,032 and
$2,826,611 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. The increase in net income is attributable to an increase in
sales. TaiAn’s management believes that net income will continue to increase as
TaiAn introduces new products, increases sales, and expands production capacity.
Net
Cash From Operations.
TaiAn
generated positive cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31,
2006 and negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31,
2005. Specifically, net cash derived from operating activities totaled
$2,416,715 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to a negative
$563,889 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due
to
an increase in net income and a smaller decrease in accounts payable, which
was
partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid
expenses.
Net
Cash Used For Investing.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $8,869,934 for the year ended December
31,
2006 and net cash used in investing activities was $1,666,013 for the year
ended
December 31, 2005. The cash was used for the purchase of land use rights and
fixed assets and short-term loans to a shareholder and to unaffiliated
suppliers.
Net
Cash Provided By Financing Activities.
Net
cash provided by financing activities totaled $8,580,881 for the year ended
December 31, 2006 as compared to $5,455,773 for the year ended December 31,
2005. The reason for this increase was due to an increase in bank loans and
proceeds from bank checks and commercial paper.
Changes
in Inventories.
Inventories at December 31, 2006 were $5,209,747, compared to $5,188,407 at
December 31, 2005. The increased amount of inventories was mainly due to
increased production activities associated to increased sales.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2007 Pacific Capital Group had cash and cash equivalents of
$2,204,550.
Advance
to Employees.
TaiAn
has a process of making advances to employees. “Advances to Employees” are
advances to employees who are working on projects on behalf of TaiAn. After
the
work is finished, they will submit expense reports with supporting documents
to
the accounting department. Then, the expenses are debited into the relevant
accounts and the advances are credited out. Cash flows from these activities
are
classified into operating activities. The total advance to employees was
$1,629,857, $1,694,438, and $1,769,585 for the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005, and 2004, respectively.
Due
From A Shareholder. “Due
from
a shareholder" represents temporary short-term loans made by TaiAn to its then
a
majority shareholder, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Ruitai").
Shandong Ruitai had owned a 75% equity ownership interest in TaiAn from January
2000 through February 2007. On March 20, 2007, Shandong Ruitai sold a 74% equity
ownership interest in TaiAn to Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. These loans
are
unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore,
deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from a shareholder are classified
as cash flows from investing activities. The total loans to the shareholder
was
$82,904,688, $69,709,583, and $40,949,756 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
The Company is collecting these loans from Shandong Ruitai. The Management
believes that it will be able to collect all these loans back by September
2008.
Bank
Loan.
TaiAn
has entered into various loan agreements to borrow a total of $15,861,401 from
Feicheng Branch of Bank of China, Taian Branch of Transportation Bank, Wenyang
Branch of Feicheng Credit Bank, and Wenyang Branch of Agriculture Bank. The

Equity
Compensation Plan Information
The
Company currently does not have any equity compensation plans.
Directors’
and Officers’ Liability Insurance
The
Company currently does not have insurance insuring directors and officers
against liability. However,
the
Company is in the process of acquiring such insurance.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
The
related party transaction status and balances as of December 31, 2005, December
31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 are summarized below:
Advance
to Employees.
TaiAn
has a process of making advances to employees. “Advances to Employees” are
advances to employees who are working on projects on behalf of TaiAn. After
the
work is finished, they will submit expense reports with supporting documents
to
the accounting department. Then, the expenses are debited into the relevant
accounts and the advances are credited out. Cash flows from these activities
are
classified into operating activities. The total advance to employees was
$1,629,857, $1,694,438, and $1,769,585 for the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005, and 2004, respectively.
Due
From A Shareholder. “Due
from
a shareholder" represents temporary short-term loans made by TaiAn to its then
majority shareholder, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Ruitai").
Shandong Ruitai had owned 75% equity ownership interest of the Company from
January 2000 through February 2007. On March 20, 2007, Shandong Ruitai sold
a
74% equity ownership interest in TaiAn to Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. These
loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment,
therefore they are deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from a
shareholder are classified as cash flows from investing activities. The total
loans to the shareholder was $82,904,688, $69,709,583, and $40,949,756 in 2006,
2005, and 2004, respectively. The Company is collecting these loans from
Shandong Ruitai as the Company is in the process to become a public company.
The
Management believes that it will be able to collect all these loans back by
September 2008.
Due
to Employees. Due
to
Employees represents temporary short-term loans from employees to finance
TaiAn’s operations due to a lack of cash resources. These loans are unsecured,
non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, they
are
deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from these activities are classified as
cash flows from financing activities. The total borrowing from employees was
$9,007 and $131,358 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Land
Use Right Transaction. On
October 25, 2006, the Company purchased the use right of a piece of land,
approximately 36 acre, located
in Wenyang County, Shandong Province, from its majority shareholder, Shandong
Ruitai, for $3,352,840,
a copy of the Land Transfer Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6, and
is
hereby incorporated by reference. The local government approved the transaction
and certified that the purchase price is at the
fair
market value. The consideration has been paid to the seller, and the title
transferal is under going.
The Management believes the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the
Company than those
reasonably obtainable from third parties.
Director
Independence
The
NASDAQ Stock Market has instituted director independence guidelines that have
been adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission. These guidelines
provide that a director is deemed “independent” only if the board of directors
affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship with the company
which, in the board’s opinion, would interfere with the director’s exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Significant
stock ownership will not, by itself, preclude a board finding of
independence.
For
NASDAQ Stock Market listed companies, the director independence rules list
six
types of disqualifying relationships that preclude an independence filing.
The
Company’s board of directors may not find independent a director
who:
1. |
is
an employee of the company or any parent or subsidiary of the
company;
|
2.
|
accepts,
or who has a family member who accepts, more than $60,000 per year
in
payments from the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company
other
than (a) payments from board or committee services; (b) payments
arising
solely from investments in the company’s securities; (c) compensation paid
to a family member who is a non-executive employee of the company’ (d)
benefits under a tax qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary
compensation; or (e) loans to directors and executive officers permitted
under Section 13(k) of the Exchange
Act;
|
3.
|
is
a family member of an individual who is employed as an executive
officer
by the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;
|
4.
|
is,
or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder
or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company
made, or
from which the company received, payments for property or services
that
exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or
$200,000, whichever is more, other than (a) payments arising solely
from
investments in the company’s securities or (b) payments under
non-discretionary charitable contribution matching
programs;
|
5.
|
is
employed, or who has a family member who is employed, as an executive
officer of another company whose compensation committee includes
any
executive officer of the listed company;
or
|
6.
|
is,
or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside
auditor, or was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor who
worked on the company’s audit.
|
Based
upon the foregoing criteria, our Board of Directors has determined that Dian
Min
Ma, Xing Fu Lu, and Jin Tian are not independent directors under these
rules as they are also employed by the Company as its CEO, President, and
as an
accountant for a subsidiary, respectively.

INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The
Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall have the power to indemnify any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company,
or
who is or has served at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or
other enterprise, in accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the
Delaware GCL as in effect at the time of adoption of this bylaw or as amended
from time to time.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, such as the
Company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
a
director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a
derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that
no
indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
or
any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
ITEM
5.01 - CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on
Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM
5.02 - DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, in conjunction with the closing of
the
Share Exchange on November 8, 2007, Anna Herbst, Frank Pioppi and Cosmo
Palmieri, resigned from their respective positions as directors and officers
of
the Company. Prior to their resignation, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, Dian Min Ma was appointed as the Company’s Chairman of its Board of
Directors, the CEO, and the Secretary, Xing Fu Lu was appointed as the Company’s
President, Jin Tian was appointed as a director, and Gang Ma was appointed
as the Company’s CFO. Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item
2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein
by reference.
ITEM
5.03 - AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS
On
November 8, 2007, through a unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting, pursuant
to
the authority granted to the Company’s Directors in the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation, the Directors adopted new Bylaws for the Company, a copy of
which
is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
ITEM
5.06 - CHANGE IN SHELL COMPANY STATUS
See
Item 2.01 above relating to the share exchange with Pacific Capital Group.
As a result of the share exchange, the Registrant ceased to be a shell
company.
The
Registrant was a shell company (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately before the reverse
merger with Pacific Capital Group as described in Item 2.01. As a result of
the
merger, the Registrant has acquired a subsidiary that possesses an operating
business. Consequently, the Registrant believes that the reverse merger has
caused it to cease to be a shell company. For information about the merger
transactions, please see the information set forth above under Item 2.01 of
this Current Report on Form 8-K, which information is incorporated
hereunder by this reference.
ITEM
9.01 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
