ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Business Overview
Opportunities in China
Opportunities for market expansion have emerged for businesses with operations in China due to certain changes in the PRC's political, economic and social policies as well as certain fundamental changes affecting the PRC and its neighboring countries. We believe that China represents both a favorable environment for making acquisitions and an attractive operating environment for a target business for several reasons, including, among other things, attractive valuations for target businesses and increased government focus within China on privatizing assets, improving foreign trade and encouraging business and economic activity.
Notwithstanding these facts, there are various risks of business acquisitions in China including, among others, the risk that we may be unable to enforce our rights in China, that China may revert back to former policies regarding privatization of business and that relations between China and other countries, including the United States, may deteriorate leading to reduced trade.
Development Plan
Based on our proposed business activities, we are a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines “blank check” companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, we also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.
We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the advantages of being a publicly held corporation. In order for a company to be listed on a U.S. stock exchange or a quotation system, such company must be 1934 Exchange Act fully reporting company. 60 days after the initial filing of this registration statement, this registration statement on Form 10 will become effective by operation of law on October 26, 2009, and as a result we will become a registered and fully reporting company with the SEC. After the consummation of a business combination with an operating company located in PRC, the surviving company arising from the transaction between us and a private operating company will become a reporting company. Although an operating company may choose to effect a business combination with a company that is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board in order to become public, purchasing an OTC Bulletin Board trading company is substantially more expensive than purchasing a Form 10 “blank check’ company and such trading companies also may have liabilities or shareholder issues. Within three (3) days after the consummation of the business combination transaction between a target operating company and us, the surviving company will need to file an extensive Form 8-K in connection with the transaction including Form 10 information of the private operating company. However, the aggregate expenses of purchasing a Form 10 blank check company and filing the Form 8-K will still be substantially lower than purchasing an OTC Bulletin Board company and have less risk to the shareholders of such company. Therefore, we believe that we would be attractive to a private operating company seeking to become public.
To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities. We have no capital and will depend on Mr. Chen to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger. We will limit our search for a potential target among China-based pharmaceutical companies.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Mr. Chen, our sole officer and director. No discussions regarding the possibility of a business combination will occur until after the effective date of this registration statement. Mr. Chen will devote approximately twenty (20) hours per week to searching for a target company until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. However, we believe that business opportunities may also come to our attention from various sources, including Mr. Chen, professional advisors such as attorneys, and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited funds that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any acquisition, if it occurs, will be on terms that are favorable to us or our current stockholders
As of this date we have not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for us. We have flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Registrant will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a) | Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products; |
(b) | Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; |
(c) | Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment; |
(d) | Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by us or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources; |
(e) | The cost of participation by us as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials; |
(f) | The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced; |
(g) | The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and |
(h) | Other relevant factors. In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired. |
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of us and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of us and such promoters.
It is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of our common stock or other securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Registrant prior to such reorganization.
Our present stockholder will likely not have control of our majority voting securities following a reorganization transaction. However, our present stockholder will benefit from such a reorganization transaction by retaining an equity interest in the surviving company, a cash payment in exchange for outstanding shares, or a combination of both cash and equity. As part of such a transaction, our present director may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed in connection with the transaction.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving us, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to us of the related costs incurred.
Reports to stockholders
(1) | We are not required to deliver an annual report to stockholders and at this time do not anticipate the distribution of such a report. |
(2) | We will file reports with the SEC. We will be a reporting company and will comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act. |
(3)
| The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC in the SEC's Public Reference Section, Room 1580,100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov. |
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Please note that throughout this prospectus, the words “we”, “our” or “us” refer to the Company.
We are a development stage company with no operations history and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.
We are a recently incorporated development stage company with no operating results to date. Since we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business that has its primary operating facilities located in the PRC. We have not conducted any discussions and we have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective acquisition candidates. We have no present revenues and will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.
We have no cash and no operations and may not have access to sufficient capital to consummate a business combination.
Currently we have no cash and operations, and completely depend on Mr. Chen to provide us with the necessary funds to pay for our operating expenses and expenses of implementing our business plan. We may not be able to take advantage of any available business opportunities because of the limited and uncertain availability of capital. There is no assurance that Mr. Chen will have sufficient capital to provide us with the necessary funds to successfully implement our plan of operation. To date, we have not entered into any agreements with Mr. Chen regarding the provision of the funds. Therefore, there is no guarantee that he will continue to provide us with funds when we need additional capital.
Our auditor has raised doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are a “blank check” company with no cash and operations, and have accumulated deficit in the amount of $1,749 for the period from April 17, 2009 (inception) to June 30, 2009. Our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We rely upon Mr. Chen, our sole officer and director, to provide us with necessary funds to pay for our operating expenses. If Mr. Chen does not have sufficient capital or will not continue to provide us with capital before our business combination with a target company, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management.
We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
Since we have not yet selected any target business with which to complete a business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits and risks of the business operations.
We have not yet identified a prospective target business. To the extent we complete a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. If we complete a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be adversely affected by the currently unascertained risks of that industry. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors.
We are a development stage company, and our future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.
We were incorporated on April 17, 2009 and are considered to be in the development stage. The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
Our Management has no prior experience in the pharmaceutical industry or in business combination activities.
Since Mr. Chen, our sole officer and director, has no prior business experience in the pharmaceutical industry or in business combination activities, there is no assurance that he will successfully compete with a large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, that are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Our management’s lack of experience in business combination transactions may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
We have no existing agreement for a business combination or other transaction.
Although management has intentions in searching for a business combination with a China-based pharmaceutical company, we have not identified a potential target company for evaluation. We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.
Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
We may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.
Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
Our sole officer and director will allocate his time to other business, thereby causing conflicts of interests in his determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.
Our sole officer and director, Mr. Chen is not required to commit his full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating her time between our operations and other businesses. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. If Mr. Chen’s other business affairs require him to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit his ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination. We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
There is currently no trading market for our common stock, and liquidity of shares of our common stock is limited.
Our shares of common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our common stock. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until we complete a business combination with an operating business and we thereafter file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Therefore, outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
In addition, after we complete a business combination with an operating business, if for any reason our common stock is not eligible for initial or continued trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or a senior stock exchange, there will be no public market for our common stock, and purchasers of our common stock may have difficulty selling their common stock should they desire to do so.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into us to further our business strategy.
We may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business.
We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions.
We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
Our business will have no revenue unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.
We are a development stage company and have had no revenue from operations. We may not realize any revenue unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
We intend to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 110,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. The total number of preferred stock authorized that may be issued by the Corporation is Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock with a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001), undesignated as to class, powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions or relative rights. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders.
Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.
We have conducted no market research or identification of business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.
We have not conducted market research concerning prospective business opportunities, nor have others made the results of such market research available to us. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.
Because we may seek to complete a business combination through a “reverse merger,” following such a transaction we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist if we choose to conduct a business combination through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future.
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange, or any U.S. quotation system.
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange (n/k/a NYSE Alternext). However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange.
After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, an over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule 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 following a business combination.
Authorization of preferred stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001) with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Control by management.
Management currently controls and votes 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Consequently, management has the ability to influence control of our operations and, acting together, will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including:
| · | Election of the Board of Directors; |
| · | Amendment to the our Articles of incorporation or bylaws; and |
| · | Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination. |
These stockholders will thus have substantial influence over our management and affairs and other stockholders possess no practical ability to remove management or effect the operations of our business. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for the common stock.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
This registration statement contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us, our industry and to other businesses. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. When used in this registration statement, the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this registration statement. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this registration statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the advantages of being a publicly held corporation. In order for a company to be listed on a U.S. stock exchange or a quotation system, such company must be 1934 Exchange Act fully reporting company. 60 days after the initial filing of this registration statement, we will become a registered and fully reporting company with the SEC. After the consummation of a business combination with an operating company located in PRC, the surviving company arising from the transaction between us and a private operating company will become a reporting company.
Although an operating company may choose to effect a business combination with a company that is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board in order to become public, purchasing an OTC Bulletin Board trading company is substantially more expensive than purchasing a Form 10 “blank check’ company and such trading companies also may have liabilities or shareholder issues. Within three (3) days after the consummation of the business combination transaction between a target operating company and us, the surviving company will need to file an extensive Form 8-K in connection with the transaction including Form 10 information of the private operating company. However, the aggregate expenses of purchasing a Form 10 blank check company and filing the Form 8-K will still be substantially lower than purchasing an OTC Bulletin Board company and have less risk to the shareholders of such company. Therefore, we believe that we would be attractive to a private operating company seeking to become public.
We focus on our efforts to identify a prospective target business in the pharmaceutical industry in China. Opportunities for market expansion have emerged for businesses with operations in China due to certain changes in the PRC's political, economic and social policies as well as certain fundamental changes affecting the PRC and its neighboring countries. We believe that China represents both a favorable environment for making acquisitions and an attractive operating environment for a target business for several reasons, including, among other things, attractive valuations for target businesses and increased government focus within China on privatizing assets, improving foreign trade and encouraging business and economic activity. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the leading industries in China, covering the manufacture of synthetic chemical and drugs, prepared Chinese medicines, medical devices, apparatus and instruments, hygiene materials, packing materials and pharmaceutical machinery.
Notwithstanding the abovementioned opportunities, there are various risks of business acquisitions in China including, among others, the risk that we may be unable to enforce our rights in China, that China may revert back to former policies regarding privatization of business and that relations between China and other countries, including the United States, may deteriorate leading to reduced trade.
To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities. We have no capital and will depend on Mr. Chen to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger. We will limit our search for a potential target among China-based pharmaceutical companies.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Mr. Chen, our sole officer and director. No discussions regarding the possibility of a business combination will occur until after the effective date of this registration statement. Mr. Chen will devote approximately twenty (20) hours per week to searching for a target company until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. However, we believe that business opportunities may also come to our attention from various sources, including Mr. Chen, professional advisors such as attorneys, and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited funds that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any acquisition, if it occurs, will be on terms that are favorable to us or our current stockholders
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
| (i) | filing of Exchange Act reports, and |
| (ii) | consummating an acquisition. |
We will rely upon Mr. Chen, our sole officer and director, to provide necessary funds to meet these costs.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
We lease approximately 1,500 square feet of office space located at Room 1303, No. 25-1303 Dong Jin City Suite, East Dongshan Road, Huainan City for our principal executive office. This lease has a one-year term until July 1, 2010 and is currently at $300.00 per month. The lease agreement between Mr. Zhu Mingzi and us dated July 2, 2009, and is included as Exhibits 10.1 to this registration statement.
ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.
The following table sets forth, as of September 24 , 2009, the number of shares of common stock owned of record and beneficially by executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
Name and Address | | Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership | | Percentage of Class | |
| | | | | |
Zengxing Chen | | | 1,000,000 | | | 100 | % |
| | | | | | | |
| (1) | Mr. Zengxing Chen serves as President and Director of the Company. |
ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.
A. Identification of Directors and Executive Officers.
Our sole officer and director, and additional information concerning him are as follows:
Name | | Age | | Position |
| | | | |
Zengxing Chen | | 59 | | President and Director |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Zengxing Chen, 59, President and Director
B. Employee Agreements
We have no employment agreement without our officer and director.
C. Family Relationships.
None.
D. Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings.
There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of Registrant during the past five years.
E. Audit Committee
The Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee, and the Board has no separate committees. We have no qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, we believe that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. We intend to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.
Prior Blank Check Company Experience
No member of our management also serves as an officer or director of any other blank check companies.
ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Our officer and director have not received any cash remuneration since inception. They will not receive any remuneration until the consummation of an acquisition. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity. Our officer and director intend to devote very limited time to our affairs.
It is possible that, after we successfully consummate a business combination with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. However, we have adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration in our decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by us for the benefit of its employees.
There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
On August 25 , 2009, we issued a total of One Million (1,000,000) shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as the founder shares to Mr. Zengxing Chen, our president and director, as consideration for his services rendered as our incorporator valued at $0.001 in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. Neither us nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
The issuance of the 1,000,000 shares as the founder shares was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the shareholder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since she agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction .
ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Presently, there are not any materials pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or as to which any of our property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Registrant to be threatened or contemplated against it.
ITEM 9. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(a) Market Information.
Our common stock is not trading on any stock exchange. We are not aware of any market activity in our common stock since its inception through the date of this filing.
(b) Holders.
As of September 24 , 2009, there was one (1) record holder of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding.
(c) Dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of our business.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On August 25, 2009, we issued a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as the founder shares to Mr. Zengxing Chen as consideration for his services provided as our incorporator and president, valued at $1000 in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. Neither us nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The issuance of the 110,000,000 shares as the founder shares was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the shareholder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since she agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction .
ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
(a) Common and Preferred Stock.
We are authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 110,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and 10,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of September 24 , 2009, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and zero shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of us. All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The stockholders do not have cumulative or preemptive rights.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
The description of certain matters relating to the securities of us is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this Form 10.
(b) Debt Securities.
None.
(c) Other Securities to Be Registered.
None.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
Our Articles of Incorporation provides that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants us the power to indemnify.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NewEra Technology Development Co., Ltd.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of NewEra Technology Development Co., Ltd. (a Nevada corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009, and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from April 17, 2009 (Date of inception) to June 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes 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 NewEra Technology Development Co., Ltd. as of June 30, 2009, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the period from April 17, 2009 (Date of inception) to June 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues with which to support its cost of operations, and there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to secure financing until a source of revenue can be established. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
Note 1 - Organization and nature of Business
NewEra Technology Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 17, 2009, with an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 preferred stock, par value of $0.001, for the purpose of seeking investment opportunities in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC”). The Company has selected June 30 as its fiscal year end.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
| Development Stage Company |
The Company is currently a development stage enterprise reporting under the provisions of Statements on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. Those standards require the Company to disclose its activities since the date of inception.
| Cash And Cash Equivalents |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basis weighted average number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company has not issued any stocks, options, warrants or similar securities since inception.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In Addition, SFAS 109 requires recognition of future tax benefits, such as carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
| Fair Value Of Financial Instruments |
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these items.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and applies to any business combinations which occur after December 31, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R), effective January 1, 2009, may have an impact on the Company’s accounting for future business combinations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 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 Company does not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) |
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact on its financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. Warrants that a company issues that contain a strike price adjustment feature, upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, are no longer being considered indexed to the company’s own stock. Accordingly, adoption of EITF 07-5 will change the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for such warrants outstanding at that date. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 amends FAS 140 and FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets and interest in variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 may have an impact on the Company’s future financial position and results of operations.
Note 3 – Going Concern
