FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report on Form 10-KSB contains  statements  that  constitute   "forward-looking statements"  as defined under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act 1995,  as amended.  Those statements  appear in a number of places in this Report and include,  without limitation,  statements  regarding the intent,  belief and  current  expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with respect to the  Company's  policies  regarding  investments,  dispositions,  financings, conflicts of interest and other  matters;  and trends  affecting  the  Company's financial condition or results of operations. Any such forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future  performance and involves several risks and  uncertainties, and actual  results  may  differ  materially  from those in the  forward-looking statement as a result of various factors – some factors being beyond the Company’s control. The accompanying information contained in this Report, including the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition," identifies important factors  that  could  cause  such   differences.   With respect  to  any  such forward-looking   statement   that  includes  a  statement  of  its  underlying assumptions  or  bases,  the  Company  cautions  that,  while it  believes  such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and has formed them in good faith, assumed facts or bases  almost  always vary from  actual  results,  and the  differences between  assumed facts or bases and actual results can be significant or “material”  depending on the circumstances.  When, in any forward-looking statement, the Company, or its management,  expresses  an  expectation  or belief as to  future  results,  that expectation  or belief is  expressed  in good  faith and is  believed  to have a reasonable  basis, but there can be no assurance that the stated  expectation or belief will result or be achieved  or  accomplished.  Further,  the Company is a "penny stock" and a micro-cap  company with no primary market makers.  Such a status makes highly risky any investment in the Company securities.  The forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-KSB are made as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update,  amend or clarify them to reflect  events,  new  information  or  circumstances  occurring  after the date hereof.

PART I
 
Item 1.   The Company

Overview.   We are a public holding company organized under the laws of the State of Florida and engaged in business thorough our sole, wholly owned operating subsidiary, Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation organized in 1997 and acquired by us in a cash and stock transaction on September 13, 2006 (“Capstone”).  Our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the Symbol “CHDO.OB” (“Common Stock”).  Capstone produces: (1) STP ®-branded power tools and automotive accessories, and (2) portable booklights, specialty flashlights, multi-task lights optical magnifiers, and (3) Simply Comfort ® line of comfort body products, through Chinese contract manufacturers.  We distribute those products through national and regional retailers and distributors in the United States ( See: “Current Products” below ).

We have two wholly subsidiaries with no business operations, operating assets or staff: Souvenir Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“SDI”) and Overseas Building Supply, LC, a Florida limited liability company that is in the process to being renamed “Black Box Innovations, L.C.”  (“BBIL”).  We expect the name change of BBIL to be completed by early April 2008. We intend to completely liquidate SDI in April 2008, and we intend to develop a new consumer electronics product line to be promoted by BBI by the second or third fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Recent Developments : On December 1, 2007, Capstone and SDI entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “SDI Purchase Agreement”) with Magnet World, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MWI”).  Under the SDI Purchase Agreement, the operating assets of SDI were sold to MWI for $200,000 cash.  Capstone had been marketing and selling SDI’s line of promotional, gift and souvenir products for most of fiscal year 2007. We decided to sell SDI’s business in order to: (i) focus on our primary business line, Capstone’s consumer products; (ii)  eliminate a secondary business that was not contributing positive cash flow on a consistent basis  and, constituted a drain on resources needed,  for the  Capstone consumer product business line;  and (iii) to  obtain cash to fund Capstone’s consumer product business, especially the STP ® -branded power tool product line  introduced in October 2007.  With the sale of SDI’s assets, Capstone’s consumer product line became our sole business line in 2007.

Company History :  The Company history is set forth after “Employees” below in this Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-KSB.

Current Products .   Capstone is engaged in the business of producing the following consumer products, which are, unless indicated otherwise, manufactured for and under the trade name of “Capstone” by contract manufacturers in China, distributed by us and sold through regional and national retailers and distributors in the United States:

(1)            STP ® -Branded Power Tools and Automotive Accessories :  Under an April  2007 licensing agreement with Clorox Company, we have the right to use the trade name STP ® on a line of power tools and automotive accessories made for Capstone by Chinese manufacturers and sold by Capstone though its distribution channels in the United States. STP ® is a registered trademark of The Armor All/STP Products Company, which is owned by Clorox Company.  Our licensing rights to the STP ®   trademark require periodic licensing payments to Clorox Company and achievement of certain milestones in sales.  Clorox Company is a Delaware corporation and an SEC reporting company.

Warranties .  We provide limited home use warranties, usually two years in duration, for most of our STP ® branded power tools and one year for most of the automotive accessories.  Our product history has not been long enough to develop any opinion on the impact of warranty claims on our financial results for STP ®-branded power tool products. However a full customer service hotline and repair center has been contracted out to support these needs as required.

(3) Portable Book Lights and Specialty Lights :  We produce and sell the following LED lighting products under the Capstone name: Multi-Task LED Lights , Focus Booklights , Slimline Booklights , the Ultraslim Booklights , the Tri Lite Ultimate Booklight (s), Timely Reader Booklight (s) and Young  Reader(s)   Booklights, The Flip Neck Booklight, 3 LED Mini Clip Light These LED booklights are small, light-weight, portable, attach to reading  materials and  illuminate the area of the text and are powered by batteries or an AC adapter;  Many of the same products are offered under a private label program for several major retailers.

(4)   Optical Magnifiers : We produce and sell under the Capstone name the following pocket-sized reader magnifiers: the LED Wallet Magnifer and   Round Lens-Led with handle Magnifier which are all products that illuminate and magnify  the  area  of text  and  powered  by  batteries; These are also offered under a Private Label Program; and

(5)   Flashlights :  We produce and sell under the Capstone name the Liqui-Lights flashlights ,  which  are   flashlights   with   liquid  in  the   handle   with themes and characters (such as sports objects) floating in the liquid and are intended  for youths; and

(7)   Mp3 Accessories:   We sell Simply Comfort ® (Memory Foam) speakers for MP3 players, which speakers are in a pillow, a wrap that covers the ears and sleeper shades that block out light.

Simply Comfort : Created by NASA, Memory Foam is a visco-elastic foam that is made up of cells that open and close and adjust to body weight and temperature. No other widely produced, commercially available material has this custom shaping type of feeling that you get from Memory Foam .   Memory Foam is temperature sensitive and becomes harder (more viscous) in lower temperatures and softer and bouncier (more elastic) in higher temperatures.  We employ this material to make some of our products more comfortable to use to the touch.  Memory Foam is available to commercial concerns.

Distribution of Products :  Capstone distributes its products through existing national and regional distributors and retailers in the United States, including,   office-supply  chains,  book store chains, warehouse clubs, supermarket chains, drug chains,  department stores, catalog houses, online retailers and book clubs.   Our largest distribution channels are: Target Stores, Wal-Mart ,   Meijer ,   Staples , Office Depot , Barnes & Noble book stores, Fred Meyer/Kroger Stores, Costco , Scholastic  Books ,   Rite Aid Drug Stores .  These distribution channels may sell our products through the Internet as well as through retail storefronts and catalogs/mail order. With the launch of the power tools and automotive accessories, we will be entering additional distribution channels that include DIY and hardware stores, automotive parts chains and farm & fleet stores,  but also will be introduce the new line to the applicable departments within our existing customer base.

Marketing and Sales :  We use employee-salesmen, distributors, and a network of  manufacturer representatives to direct sell our products to the distribution channels referenced above.   We also display and market our products at industry trade shows to promote our products to retailers and distributors in North America. We rely on our distribution channels to advertise our products to the consumers.   We have redesigned and developed  new Websites for CHDT, Capstone and STP ® -branded tools. These are user friendly sites and designed to be informational purposes only. We do not plan at this point to develop consumer e-commerce capabilities on any of these sites.

We also try to promote our products through sponsorships. On January 28, 2008, we announced that we would be the primary sponsor for the #72 MacDonald Motorsports Dodge race car, driven by D.J. Kennington, at the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Camping World 300 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16,  2008 and remain a major associate sponsor for the remaining 34 races with one more full sponsorship at Talladega on April 26, 2008. The STP ® logo will be featured on the hood and back side quarter panels on car #72 and STP ® -branded Capstone tools will become the official tools of MacDonald Motorsports and will be placed on McDonald Motorsports website as well as used in its garage. The sponsorship also includes a 12-race schedule in the Canadian Tire Series this summer with D.J. Kennington, which is viewed on the Cable Speed Channel.
 
Strategy :   We intend to become a major producer of certain identified consumer product categories in the United States.    We expect to  bring new ideas and concepts to these categories through innovation and new technology, but with certain benchmarks, namely:

 
-
designed for an everyday use or task;

 
-
is affordable within the range of manufacturer’s suggested retail price for such a product (below $100 or $200 dollars, depending on product and market segment);

 
-
represent  value when compared to items produced or marketed by major consumer product companies on a national scale; and

 
-
has reasonable profit and profit margin opportunity and acceptable market penetration costs, in our opinion.

We hope to accomplish this goal by:

-             Leveraging Chinese Manufacturing Relationships :  China has become a major manufacturing source for products sold in the U.S. because many of the Chinese manufacturers can quickly produce as well as engineer quality products meeting all design and product specifications, produce such products at an extremely competitive per unit cost (because of low labor rates and relatively modern manufacturing facilities) and timely direct ship those products to any place in the world.  Often, it is more economical and efficient to manufacture products in China and have them shipped to the United States than to have such products produced in North America. While this resource is available to and used by large numbers of U.S. companies, including our competitors, we believe this Chinese manufacturing resource gives us the level of production cost and quality that allows us to be competitive with larger competitors in the United States. We also have very close business partnerships with two Hong Kong-based companies, named Asian Outsource and Design Group and Prosource Corp, who work with us to develop and prototype new product concepts and then interface with our Chinese factories to ensure products are Quality Control tested before and during production. These Companies also provide logistical support to ensure on time shipments; and

-             Experienced in Dealing with Retail and Distributor Networks :  We believe our management has extensive experience in getting consumer products into the retail and distribution channels, which is key to being competitive in our segments of the consumer product industries; and

-             Niche Markets .  We believe our management is experienced in locating and developing niche consumer product opportunities that may be overlooked or underexploited by competitors, especially larger competitors.   Typically, we seek to find consumer products where we believe that we can win a profitable niche of the market share – one where the number or extent of commitment of competitors presents a reasonable opportunity to acceptable market entry costs to obtain a profitable market niche.

-             Leveraging Licensing and Brand Name Services.   We are pursuing using recognized trademarks or logos of other companies to assist our products in gaining market recognition and acceptance without extensive marketing and advertising campaigns.  The current STP ® branded power tool product line is the first and an instance of such leveraging of existing trademarks.

-             Acquisition for Niche Consumer Products. We will also pursue acquiring promising niche consumer products by acquiring other companies with such niche consumer products or the technology to develop such niche consumer products.  We will use,  in most instances, the Common Stock to acquire such companies.  If cash is required for an acquisition, we will have to raise such cash by selling our securities to investors and/or borrowing money from our officers and directors and/or third party sources.  The selling of our securities will dilute our existing shareholders and the borrowing of money will divert any cash flow from operations.  Despite these negative consequences, we believe that we cannot be competitive or successful without innovation and expansion of consumer products, which may require acquisition by merger or other form of acquisition.

There can be no assurance that patent applications owned by us, or licensed to us, will issue as patents or that, if issued, our patents will be valid or that they will provide us with meaningful protection against competitors or with a competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that we will not need to acquire licenses under patents belonging to others for technology potentially useful or necessary to us and there can be no assurance that such licenses will be available to us, if at all, on terms acceptable to us. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patent issued to or licensed by us will not be infringed or circumvented by others. In particular, if we are unable to obtain issuance of a patent with broad claims with respect to our products or if we are unable to prevail in oppositions against our foreign patents with similar claim scope, a competitor may be able to design around our patent rights by employing technologies or innovations that are not covered by our subsisting patents.

Much of our know-how and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we require employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, our business may be adversely affected by competitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.

Lastly, there can be no assurance that third-parties will not bring suit against us for patent infringement by a licensee or us , or to have our patents declared invalid

Competition:   Capstone competes against numerous consumer product companies.  Competitors of Capstone include:  Zelco Industries,  Inc. of  Mount Vernon,  New York,  which makes the ITTY BITTY(TM) light and Lightwedge, LLC of Nantucket,  New  Massachusetts.  With trends and  technology  continually changing,  to remain competitive in the industry, Capstone  will have to continue to develop and introduce new products and color options at competitive  pricing.  Many national retailers  such as Target,  Walmart and Barnes & Noble offer book lights as part of their product line. Where possible,  we will endeavor to introduce the latest battery technology identified in the power tool business into our other product categories

Power Tools Segment :  According to Cleveland State University: 1

 
-
the global market for power tools (home use and construction grade) in 2009 is projected to be $29.2 billion;

 
-
In 2004, 37% of that global market was controlled by Black & Decker (U.S.), Bosch (Germany), TechTronic (Hong Kong), Makita (Japan), and Hitachi (Japan);

 
-
70% of the power tool market is commercial users and 30% is home users; and

 
-
North American makes up 40% of sales in the global power tool market.

We face extensive competition from numerous competitors in the power tool and accessory product line in the United States.  Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources, far more years in selling this market segment and far greater market share than we do.  Companies like Black & Decker, Bosch, Mikita, Hitachi, TechTronic, Porter & Cable, Panasonic, Ryobi and CPO Milwaukee are significantly larger companies than we are and they have well-established and much larger market share than we do in the U.S. home use power tool industry.  Our ability to obtain any market share in the U.S. home use power tool market will depend on the quality and price competitiveness of our Chinese-made power tool line and the name recognition and consumer acceptance of our licensed STP ® -brand name for our power tool line for home use.   There are dozens of smaller companies that are competing for the U.S. home use power tool market.   We just started to market and sell our STP ® -branded power tool line in October  2007. We do have sufficient track

record to predict whether we will be able to attain any or a profitable market niche for such product line or will be able to compete in this industry segment.  Success in this market segment is important to the success of our efforts to attain sustained profitability.

Government Regulation: We are subject to regulation by federal and state securities authorities (including FINRA) as well as usual and customary state and county business and tax regulation of a for-profit business.  Capstone is subject to the usual and customary federal, state and local business and tax regulation of a consumer products company and a for-profit business.  Neither Capstone nor we is subject to any U.S. federal, state or local regulation that poses, in our opinion, any special or unusual burden or obstacle to conducting our business and financial affairs.   Our main concern in terms of government regulation is the changing regulatory environment in China and its impact on our ability to access our consumer product manufacturing sources and obtain our consumer products.  While the general trend in China has to be conducive to trade and commerce, China is a still a single-party nation-state in which the central government has the power to dramatically and immediately change its trade and commercial policies and laws.  China has benefited greatly from a more liberal  trade and commercial policies and laws in the 1990’s and this decade to date.  However, political or military conflict between the United States and China, who are rivals for power and influence in Asia and to an increasing extent all along the Pacific Rim as well as being diametrically opposed to one another over the status of Taiwan,  could provoke a change in Chinese trade or commercial law that makes it more difficult or expensive for us to obtain consumer products.  Such a development would have a serious impact on our ability to compete in the United States in the niche consumer product market

Employees:   As of December 31, 2007, we had a total of eleven  full-time employees, consisting of 4 officers employed by CHDT, and  seven persons employed by Capstone.  Capstone may add 2 to 4 additional salespersons in the first six months of 2008 to sell its consumer products and an additional logistics coordinator

Company History :  The Company was incorporated under the name “Freedom Funding, Inc." in Delaware on September 18, 1986.  On January 18, 1989, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Colorado. On November 18, 1989 the name of the Company was changed to "CBQ, Inc." On May 17, 2004, the Company changed its name from  "CBQ, Inc.” to “China Direct Trading Corporation” and also reincorporated from Colorado to Florida by a statutory merger.

From 1986 through 1997, the Company had no business operations and its sole activity was to pursue its business plan to investigate business opportunities in which to engage by merger or acquisition. The Company was a "blank check" shell company  during this initial  development stage.

From 1997 through 2002, the Company became a holding company acquiring a  series  of  small,  private  companies  and  operating subsidiaries.

These operating subsidiaries were engaged in either software systems development operations, resellers of computer hardware and software manufactured by other companies, installers and repair firms of computer networks, or providers of various information technology technical consulting services. Most of these acquisitions were accomplished by stock-for-stock exchanges. By the fourth quarter of 2002, these operating subsidiaries had ceased conducting business due to their inability to compete effectively in their respective geo-graphical markets; loss of key sales, technical, sales and management personnel; unexpected downturns in customer demand in certain industries (especially in the value-added reseller of computer hardware and software), inadequate management and planning (especially the lack of a coherent strategic business plan); failure of CHDT to eliminate duplicative overhead among its operating subsidiaries; inadequate financing of operations; use of financing for non-

revenue generating purpose; inability to obtain financing or funding on affordable or commercially reasonable terms or at all; or a combination of the foregoing factors.

By the first quarter of fiscal year 2003,   we  had no business operations  or source of revenue and its  management  was reduced to a caretaker officer and one to two directors.

From  December  1, 2003 to September 2006:  On December 1, 2003, we acquired SDI, which became the Company's sole wholly-owned operating subsidiary at that time.   SDI management also became our management as part of the stock-for-stock acquisition of SDI.

On January 27, 2006,  CHDT entered into a Purchase  Agreement  (the  “CPS Purchase  Agreement”) with  William  Dato (“Dato”) and Complete  Power  Solutions  LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (“CPS”)  pursuant  to which CHDT  acquired  from Dato 51% of the member interests of CPS for a purchase price consisting of the payment of $637,000 in cash and the delivery of 600,000 shares of CHDT's Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) having a stated value of $1,200,000 which are convertible into 50,739,958 shares of CHDT's Common Stock.

On January 26, 2007,  we entered into a Purchase and Settlement  Agreement, dated and effective as of December 31, 2007  ("CPS Settlement Agreement") with CPS, Dato and Howard  Ullman (our Chairman of the Board and  also Chief Executive Officer at the time),  whereby:  (a) CPS is repurchasing  the 51% CPS Membership  Interests owned by us in return for the transfer of 600,000 shares of our Series A Preferred  Stock"),  and which are convertible into 50,739, 958 shares of our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, beneficially owned by  Dato, to us,  and (b) the issuance of a promissory note by CPS to us in the principal  amount of $225,560,  bearing annual interest at 7% with interest-only  payments commencing on July 1st and thereafter  being paid quarterly on April 1st, July 1st, October 1st and January 1st until the  principal and all unpaid  interest  thereon shall become due and payable on the maturity date,  being January 26, 2010, (the "2007 Promissory Note") and (c) the mutual releases  contained in the Agreement.  As a result of this transaction, we have no ownership interest in CPS and  neither  CPS nor Dato will have an  ownership  interest in us (from the CPS Purchase Agreement). The 2007 Promissory Note provides that if principal and accrued interest thereon is not paid in full by the maturity date,  then 2007  Promissory  Note's maturity  date will be roll over for  successive  one year periods until paid in full.  For any roll over period,  the annual  interest will be increased to 12%. The 2007 Promissory  Note  also  provides  that  the  principal  amount  may be automatically  increased by an amount up to $7,500 if the amount  claimed as the cost of  replacement  of a  garden  by the  customer  for a power  generator  is abandoned or settled for less than $7,500.  The Agreement allows CPS to off set, if CPS so  elects,  any  payments  due under the 2007  Promissory  Note to us  by any amounts owed to CPS under the  indemnification  provisions  of the CPS Settlement Agreement.

The 2007 Promissory Note, CPS Settlement Agreement and CPS Purchase Agreement are attached as exhibits to this Report and all summaries herein of those agreement and instrument are qualified in their entirety by reference to said agreements and note as attached as exhibits hereto.

CPS is also indebted to us under a promissory note in the original principal  amount of  $250,000,  executed  by Dato on June 27, 2006 and payable to us,  bearing  interest at 7% per annum and maturing on June 30,  2007,  subject to  extension  (the "2006  Promissory  Note") and subject to offset by (i) $41,600  owed by an affiliate of  CHDT to the CPS for funds advanced by CPS for  portable  generators  which were never  delivered  and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount paid to compensate CPS for refunds required to be made to clients of CPS for  cancelled  sales made  personally  by Howard  Ullman (which amounts  have been  applied  first to accrued  and unpaid

 
13

 

interest  due September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006 and then applied to quarterly interest payable on the principal of the 2006 Note to maturity (June 30, 2007),  and then to reduce the principal  amount of the 2006  Promissory  Note to $210,900).

Further,  the CPS Settlement Agreement:  (a) cancels the Voting  Agreement,  dated January 27, 2006,  by and among Dato, CHDT and Howard  Ullman;  (b) removes us as a party to the Employment Agreement, dated January 27, 2006, with Dato and CPS and  (d) requires CPS and Dato to  cooperate  with us and the auditors   in    completing    all   audits    required   by CHDT’s Commission-reporting  obligations in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  Dato resigned from all positions at CHDT and Howard Ullman  resigned from all positions at CPS - both  effective  January 26, 2007.

The net result of the CPS Settlement Agreement is to cancel the  transactions  entered into by and among CHDT, CPS and Dato under the CPS Purchase Agreement by and among CHDT, CPS and  Dato, which transaction was reported by the Form 8-K filed by CHDT with the  Commission on January 31, 2007, and end  CHDT’s involvement in the  distribution of commercial and residential standby power generators by CPS.

CHDT and certain note holders are currently involved in a lawsuit against CPS and others over payments due under the above referenced notes.

On September 15, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone and Stewart Wallach, the sole shareholder, a director and a senior executive officer of Capstone. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Capstone Common Stock in exchange for $750,000 in cash (funded by the previously reported credit line provided by certain directors of CHDT) and $1.25 million in Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, which Series B Stock is convertible into 15.625 million “restricted” shares of our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”).  We have agreed to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act to cover the conversion of the Series B Stock issued to Mr. Wallach in the acquisition of Capstone.  We anticipate filing such registration statement in mid-2008.

As of January 1, 2007,  SDI has merged its  operations  and marketing  efforts  under the  Capstone  umbrella in order to streamline operations and consolidate sales and marketing operations under one company.

During fiscal year 2007, we ceased promoting or devoting resources to OBS’ start-up efforts to sell Chinese made roofing tiles in the United States.  The persistent downturn in the housing construction business through 2007 reduced, in our opinion, the demand for such product.  We also concluded that our Capstone consumer products business was a more promising industry segment for our limited resources.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors .

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

(A) VARYING,  UNPREDICTABLE  FINANCIAL RESULTS.  Our periodic operating results may significantly  fluctuate from time to time due to sales  cycles or  decreased  demand  from customers  or  reliance  on and a  decrease  in demand  from those limited number of customers that generate most of the sales revenues, or changes in business focus.  Investors should not rely on financial results for any fiscal period as an accurate basis for predicting or an indication of future

 
14

 

financial results. Our future revenues and results of operations may significantly fluctuate due to a combination of factors, many of which are outside of management's control.  Our operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future operating results.  Prospective investors should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results of operations as an indication of future consolidated or segment performance, especially since we have experienced changes from year to year in our business lines or business focus.  It is possible that results of operations may be below the expectations of public and investors, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.  The most important of these factors include:

*            market   rejection of Chinese-made   products;
*           drop   in   consumer   demand for our products;
*           increased  competition  from  competitors, especially from competitors  with  substantially greater resources than us;
*           political or economic or trade conflicts  between the U.S. and China;
*           ability to obtain products on favorable terms from our Chinese manufacturing sources;
*           general economic conditions;
*           impact of terrorism on the businesses of CHDT;
*           the  timing  and   effectiveness   of  marketing  and product expansion programs;
*           the timing of the introduction of new products;
*           the availability of funding or financing in a timely manner and on affordable terms;
*           timing and effectiveness of capital expenditures; and
*           Strength of foreign and domestic competition.

We have also had a history of operating subsidiaries or business lines failing and several resulting changes in management and business focus.  While we are optimistic about the abilities and business plan of current management, we have not yet achieved any record of sustained profitability and growth from quarter-to-quarter.  We believe that only such a record of performance will allow any sustained increase in the market price of our Common Stock, which during the past five years has been fewer than ten cents per share.

(B) RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  We rely on Stewart Wallach,  Gerry  McClinton, Laurie Holtz  and  Howard  Ullman for  executive  management, financial management  and  strategic planning for the Company.  The loss of the services of any one those executives would adversely impact our business and financial prospects.  Neither CHDT nor Capstone has a key-man insurance  policy or  similar  policy to fund the cost of  replacing  any of the aforesaid key personnel.  We lack internal cash resources to fund such replacement.

We may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel,  which could impact the quality of our content and services and the effectiveness  and efficiency of our management,  resulting in increased costs and losses in revenue.  Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified  sales and  marketing,  customer  support,  financial  and accounting,  legal and other managerial personnel. The competition for personnel in the  industries  in which we operate is intense.  Our personnel may terminate their employment at any time for any reason.  Loss of personnel may also result in increased costs for replacement  hiring and training.  If we fail to attract new personnel or retain and motivate our current  personnel,  we may not be able to operate  our  businesses  effectively  or  efficiently,  serve our  customers properly or maintain the quality of our content and services


 
15

 

(C) MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS.  We may seek from time to time to consummate mergers and  acquisitions of companies in complementary industries to our industries as part of a strategy to grow or acquire new products, which mergers and acquisitions could have an adverse impact on our financial and business condition and prospects as a result of inability to manage growth or integrate or manage acquired operations.  We have historically tried to expand or  grow our business  through  mergers and  acquisitions  with  small,  private companies  with existing  operations.  Except  for Capstone,  those prior efforts have failed to establish a business or businesses with steady or growing revenues, or grow the  overall  revenues  or  business  of the  Company  for any extensive period.  Most of our acquired businesses failed and we closed or sold off.

Any such mergers and acquisitions may not, due to the low market  price  of  our common  stock,  and  our lack of  extensive  cash reserves,  be consummated on terms that are favorable to us or without certain  conditions,  such as a provision allowing the acquired or merged entity to spin out of or split  off from us in the  future  or if  certain milestones are not met.

We have  throughout its history  acquired new  businesses,  as we expect to continue  to make  acquisitions  in the  future.  With respect  to  recent  and any  future  acquisitions, we may  fail to successfully  integrate  our  financial  and  management  controls,  technology, reporting  systems and procedures,  or adequately  expand,  train and manage our work force. The process of integration  could take a significant  period of time and will require the  dedication of management  and other  resources,  which may distract management's attention from our other operations. If we make acquisitions   outside  of  our  core  businesses,   assimilating  the  acquired technology,  services or products  into our  operations  could be difficult  and  costly.  Our inability to successfully integrate any acquired company, or the failure to achieve any expected  synergies,  could  result in  increased expenses and a reduction in expected revenues or revenue growth, and as a result our stock price could fluctuate or decline.

Such risks include

 
*
the  risk  that  our  industry  may  develop  in  a  different direction  than  anticipated  and  that  the  technologies  we acquire do not prove to be those we need to be  successful  in the industry;
 
*
the risk that future  valuations  of acquired  businesses  may decrease from the market price we paid for these acquisitions;
 
*
the generation of insufficient revenues by acquired businesses to offset acquisition costs and increased  operating expenses  associated with these acquisitions;
 
*
the potential  difficulties in completing  in-process research and development  projects and delivering high quality products to our customers;
 
*
the  potential   difficulties  in  integrating  new  products, businesses  and  operations  in  an  efficient  and  effective manner;
 
*
the risk  that our  customers  or  customers  of the  acquired businesses may defer  purchase  decisions as they evaluate the impact of the acquisitions on our future product strategy;
*           the   potential   loss  of  key   employees  of  the  acquired businesses;
 
*
the risk that acquired businesses will divert the attention of our senior  management from the operation of our core Capstone business; and
 
*
the risks of  entering  new  markets in which we have  limited experience and where  competitors  may have a stronger  market presence.


 
16

 

Our inability  to  successfully   operate  and  integrate newly-acquired  businesses  appropriately,  effectively  and in a timely  manner  could have a material adverse effect on our ability to take advantage of further  growth in demand for products in our  marketplace,  as well as on our  revenues, gross margins and expenses.

(D)  WE HAVE A SMALL  MANAGEMENT  AND STAFF AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY  HANDLE ANY GROWTH IN OUR BUSINESS AND TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN INTERNAL  FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING  CONTROLS AND SYSTEMS.

If  we cannot  effectively  manage growth, if any,  and whether from mergers and acquisitions or internal growth, our  business may suffer or fail.  We have previously expanded our operations through acquisitions in  order  to  pursue  perceived  existing  and  potential  market opportunities and in most instances we have failed to do so. If we fail to manage our growth properly, it may incur  unnecessary expenses and the efficiency of our operations may decline. To manage  any growth effectively, we must, among other things:

 
*
successfully  attract,  train,  motivate  and  manage a larger number of employees for  production  and testing,  engineering and administration activities;

*           control higher inventory and working capital requirements; and

 
*
improve the efficiencies within our operating, administrative, financial  and  accounting  systems,  and our  procedures  and controls.

(E) A FEW OFFICERS,  DIRECTORS AND PRINCIPAL  SHAREHOLDERS HAVE VOTING CONTROL OVER CHDT.  A few members of management  beneficially own approximately 60% of our outstanding  Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Howard Ullman,  the Chairman of the Board, beneficially  owns  approximately  46% of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock (excluding conversion of any preferred stock of CHDT or the exercise of options). These members of  management control the  management and affairs and have voting power sufficient to determine any matters requiring shareholder approval, including:

*           election of our board of directors;

*           removal of any of our directors;

*           amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

*           adoption of  measures  that could delay or prevent a change in control  or  impede  a  merger,  takeover  or  other  business combination involving us; and

*           Significant    corporate    transactions,  like    mergers, acquisitions, dissolution,  recapitalization, stock splits and bankruptcy.

This voting control by insiders over CHDT may hinder the interests of public shareholders from being fully considered in corporate decision making or actions and may result in corporate actions that are not always in furtherance of our public shareholder interests.   Further, the voting control of a few members of management may shield management from pressure from public shareholders for changes or revisions in failing or underachieving business strategies.


 
17

 

(F)  INADEQUATE OR EXPENSIVE  FUNDING OR FINANCING.   We rely on funding from insiders and investors from time to time and we may be unable to raise  adequate  funding or  financing to survive  unexpected  revenue shortfalls,  or to reduce  operating  expenses quickly enough to offset any such unexpected revenue shortfall.

If  we have a  shortfall  in revenues without a corresponding reduction to its expenses, operating results may suffer.  If we do not have sufficient bank financing, we will be forced to  seek expensive  financing or funding,  or forms of financing that require issuance of our securities  (such  as  equity  credit  lines or PIPE  financing).  Such financing  would dilute the position of existing  shareholders  and put negative pressure  on the market  price of the  our  Common  Stock  while  possibly failing to provide  adequate and ongoing working capital for the Company and its operations.  While members of our management have provided personal loans to us to fund overhead and  acquisitions  in fiscal year 2007,  we cannot be sure that such financing will be available in the future or in amounts that are adequate to meet our  working capital needs.  Capstone  is seeking traditional bank financing for its operations, but such bank financing is not in place as of the date of this Report of Form 10-KSB.  The reliance on private placement of CHDT securities and insider loans or investments may depress or limit the market price for our Common Stock.

(G)  COMPLIANCE  WITH CHANGING  REGULATION OF CORPORATE  GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

Changing  laws,   regulations  and  standards   relating  to  corporate governance and public  disclosure,  including the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or "SOX" .and new SEC  regulations  are creating  uncertainty for companies such as ours.  These new or changed  laws,  regulations  and  standards  are  subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result,  their  application  in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory  and governing  bodies,  which could result in continuing uncertainty  regarding  compliance  matters  and higher  costs  necessitated  by ongoing  revisions to disclosure and governance  practices.  We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws,  regulations  and  standards,  and this investment  may result in increased  general and  administrative  expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance  activities.  If our efforts  to comply  with new or  changed  laws, regulations and standards  differ from the activities  intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities  related to practice,  our reputation and attraction as an investment may be substantially harmed.

(II)  RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

(A) RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES.  OUR COMMON STOCK IS A "PENNY STOCK" UNDER SEC RULES AND,  AS SUCH,  THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON  STOCK IS LIMITED BY CERTAIN SEC RULES  APPLICABLE TO PENNY  STOCKS.  Our Common Stock is subject to certain  "penny stock" rules  promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements  on brokers who sell "penny stock" ( that is, stock with a market price below $5 per share and more commonly  below $1 per share) to persons other than  established  customers and accredited  investors  (generally institutions  with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals  with net worth in excess of $1,000,000).  Brokers must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.  Furthermore,  the penny stock rules generally require, among other things,  that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written  disclosure  documents,  monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks,  disclosure of the bid and asked prices and disclosure of the  compensation  to the  brokerage  firm and  disclosure  of the sales  person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely affect the ability  of brokers to sell our

 
18

 

common  shares and limit the  liquidity  of our securities.  Our lack of any sustained history of sustained profitability from operations also depresses our the market value of our Common Stock.

(B) NO DIVIDENDS.   We have not paid and we do  not intend to pay dividends  on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to finance our current and proposed business activities and do not  anticipate  paying any cash  dividends  on our  Common  Stock in the foreseeable  future.  We may also  incur  indebtedness  in the  future  that may prohibit or  effectively  restrict  the payment of cash  dividends on our Common
Stock.

(C)   OUR COMMON STOCK’S  MARKET PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE AND COULD  FLUCTUATE WIDELY IN PRICE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS.       The market  price of our Common  Stock is likely to be highly  volatile and could  fluctuate  widely in price in  response to various  factors,  many of which are beyond our control, including:

*           our lack of primary market makers for our Common Stock – we have market makers but none are primary market makers who maintain an inventory of our Common Stock and actively support the Common Stock;
*           the   establishment  of  partnerships  with  other  technology companies;
*           the lack of research  analysts  or news media  coverage of CHDT or our Common Stock;
*           additions or departures of key personnel;
*           sales of our common stock;
*           our status as a “Penny Stock” Company;
*           our ability to execute our business plan;
*           operating results below expectations;
*           loss of any strategic relationships;
*           industry developments;
*           economic and other external factors; and
*           period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

(D) SALE OF A  SUBSTANTIAL  NUMBER OF SHARES  OF OUR  COMMON  STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE. The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of  substantial  amounts  of our  Common  Stock  in the  public  market,  or the perception that these sales could occur.  These factors could make it more difficult  for us to raise funds  through  future  offerings  of Common Stock.  We continue to date to rely on private placement of our securities and insider-management loans to fund operations or business development efforts.

(E)  THE LACK OF PRIMARY MARKET MAKERS AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR SUPPORT LIMITS THE ABILITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO MAINTAIN ANY INCREASES IN VALUE.  We lack primary market makers and extensive institutional support for our Common Stock traded in the public markets. As result, whenever the market price for our Common Stock experiences any significant increase in market price, it is difficult for our Common Stock to maintain such an increased market price due to  the pressure of shareholders selling shares of Common Stock to reap any profits from such increase in market price and the lack of primary market makers and institutional investors to stabilize and support any such increase in market price of our Common Stock (by not selling their positions of such stock in response to market price increases and entering the market to purchase more shares of our Common Stock).

Item 1B:   Unresolved SEC Staff Letters.   None.   As previously reported in our SEC filings, we received comments and inquiries from the Division of Corporation Finance (“DFC”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 7, 2007, which communication concerned our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The comments and inquiries were part of the DFC’s periodic review of SEC-reporting company Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 periodic filings. As part of the Company’s response to the SEC, the Company filed a Form 8-K, dated and filed with the Commission on October 12, 2007, to report the corrections to the financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 that were previously filed as Note 14 to  the financial statements of the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 14 states in its entirety: “We have  restated  our balance  sheet at December 31, 2005,  and  statements  of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The  restatement  impacts the year ended  December 31,  2005,  but has no effect on the financial statements issued in prior fiscal years. The restatement is the result of a correction of an error.  In 2005,  the Company did not accrue $175,000 of directors' fees that had been  authorized,  but not paid at December 31, 2005. The $175,000 was paid in 2006 with the issuance of common stock. Also, the Company had accrued  $30,600 in payroll tax expense on accrued  compensation of  $200,000  that  had  been  paid in  stock at  December  31,  2005,  that was subsequently treated as contract services and not employee services.  The impact of the restatement on the balance sheet was to increase current liabilities from $573,351 to $717,751.  The impact of the restatement on net loss is an increase of $144,400,  from  $589,171 to $733,571 net of tax for the year ended  December 31, 2005. There was no change in the loss per share.”

Date of Conclusion regarding Corrections to Annual Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2005 .  The errors in accounting treatment of the two compensation issues referenced above came to light on March 1, 2007 as a result of the audit work for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Audit Committee Response : Independent director and audit committee member Jeffrey Guzy has discussed the aforementioned corrections with Robison Hill & Co., the Company’s public auditors.  The conclusion of those discussions was that the errors were the result of Company management misunderstanding inquiries from the public auditors and that misunderstanding resulted in a response to the auditors that produced the two errors in the fiscal year 2005 audit. Mr. Guzy and the public auditors also concluded that the Company’s addition of a chief operating officer with financial and accounting experience in early 2007 and the addition of an in-house bookkeeper assisted by a local accountant in early 2007 should help prevent any repeat of the miscommunication between management and the public auditors about such compensation matters and their accounting treatment.

Item 2.  Properties.

Neither the  Company  nor its  operating  subsidiaries  owns  any real properties or facilities.  CHDT and Capstone's shares principal executive offices and operating  facilities at 350 Jim Moran Blvd., Suite 120, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442. Rent expense, included in general and administrative expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $36,503 and $30,000, respectively.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings .

Other than as set forth below,  we are not a party  to any  material  pending  legal  proceedings  and,  to the  best  our  knowledge,  no such action by or against us has been  threatened.  From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings  and claims that arise in the  ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur in such routine lawsuits,  we believe that the final  disposition of such routine lawsuits will not have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or status as a going concern.

CELESTE TRUST REG., ESQUIRE TRADE, ET AL. V. CBQ, INC . (Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court, SDNY, 12/4/2003):   This action was brought by certain debenture holders of Socrates Technologies Corporation (“STC”), a defunct Delaware corporation, against us for allegedly purchasing certain operating assets of STC’s subsidiaries in March 2001, which assets were allegedly pledged as collateral for the STC debentures and which acquisition allegedly violated the STC debentures terms. Plaintiffs are seeking the value of the transferred assets.

There have been no new developments or activity in this lawsuit in fiscal year 2007. As of date of this Report, we are not aware of any action by the plaintiffs  to date to  resolve the pending motion for default  judgment  against the other defendants in order to clear  the way for an appeal of the  judgment  entered  in our favor by the trial court, which dismissed the plaintiffs’ initial complaint and then amended complaint in 2006.  While we are confident of prevailing in this matter with respect to claims against it, we are uncertain at this time of the final outcome  motion for default against the other defendants or whether the plaintiffs  intend to pursue this litigation any further.  An adverse judgment in this lawsuit against us, if not overturn on appeal or settled on favorable terms, would have potentially ruinous impact on our ability to effectively pursue our business plan and to achieve our business goals.  We, however, intend to vigorously litigate in this matter if the plaintiffs seek to appeal their case or obtain a default judgment against the other defendants.

CYBERQUEST,  INC .:   There have been no new developments in  this matter in fiscal year 2007.  We received two claims from certain former shareholders  of Cyberquest, Inc.  in  the summer of 2006.  They claimed  to  hold  or  own approximately  70,000  shares of our Series A redeemable  preferred stock issued in our 1998 acquisition of Cyberquest.  Cyberquest ceased operations in 2000-2001 period.  We have investigated  these claims and has not been  able to date to  substantiate  any of the  claims  to date and the claimants  have  not  pursued  their  claims  beyond  an  initial  communication asserting  ownership of these shares of serial  preferred stock.  We have not received any further claims or communications since the late summer of 2006. We are uncertain at this point if the claimants will pursue or press the aforementioned claim of preferred stock ownership.

CPS (Complete Power Solutions, LLC): As part of the January 26 , 2007 Purchase and Settlement Agreement between CPS, CHDT and other parties, CPS issued of a promissory note  to us in the principal  amount of $225,560,  bearing annual interest at 7% with interest-only  payments commencing on July 1,  2007 and thereafter  being paid quarterly on  October 1 st , January 1 st , April 1 st and July1 st until the  principal and all unpaid  interest  thereon shall become due and payable on the maturity date,  being January 26, 2010, (the "2007 Promissory Note").  The 2007 Promissory Note provides that if principal and accrued interest thereon is not paid in full by the maturity date,  then 2007  Promissory  Note's maturity  date will be roll over for  successive  one year periods until paid in full.  For any roll over period, the annual  interest will be increased to 12%.


 
21

 

CPS is also indebted to us under a second promissory note in the original principal  amount of  $250,000,  executed  by Dato on June 27, 2006 and payable to us,  bearing  interest at 7% per annum and maturing on June 30,  2007,  subject to  extension  (the "2006  Promissory  Note") and subject to offset by (i) $41,600  owed by an affiliate of  CHDT to the CPS for funds advanced by CPS for  portable  generators  which were never  delivered  and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount paid to compensate CPS for refunds required to be made to clients of CPS for cancelled  sales made  personally  by Howard  Ullman (which amounts  have been  applied  first to accrued  and unpaid  interest  due September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006 and then applied to quarterly interest payable on the principal of the 2006 Note to maturity (June 30, 2007),  and then to reduce the principal  amount of the 2006  Promissory  Note to $210,900).  CPS have failed in their responsibility to pay interest and principal payments and laid out in both notes and agreement. As a result we have been forced to take legal action to collect all outstanding amounts including full payment of principals.

On March 10 th , 2008 we were granted a Final Summary judgment against CPS (Case # CACE07-19082(25) 17 th Judicial Court, Broward County, Florida) for the following amounts June note $238,748.90 and January note $262,990.88 for a total of $501,739.78. We are now continuing with a legal action to collect this judgment.

Other Legal Matters . To  the best of our knowledge, none of our  directors, officers or owner of record of  more than five percent (5%) of the  securities of the Company,  or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in reference to pending litigation.

We are not  currently  a party to any other legal  proceedings  that we believe  will have a  material  adverse  effect on our  financial  condition  or results of operations.

Item 5.  Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

As of March 27, 2008, there were approximately 303 holders of record (excluding OBO/Street Name accounts) of our Common Stock and 561,941,645 shares outstanding shares of the Common Stock. We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The following table shows the high and low bid prices of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, by quarter, during each of our last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These quotes reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. The information below was obtained from information provided from the OTC Bulletin Board, for the respective periods.

The high and low bid prices for shares of our Common Stock on March 27, 2008, were $0.020 and $0.018, respectively, based upon bids that represent prices quoted by broker-dealers on the OTC Bulletin Board. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. For information concerning principal shareholders, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

We changed our name and trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board in second fiscal quarter of 2007 from “China Direct Trading Corporation” and CHDT.OB” to “CHDT Corporation” and “CHDO.OB.” We changed our name because we believed that the old name did not accurately reflect the current business and strategy of CHDT.  As an OTC Bulletin Board quoted company, we do not control our trading symbol, which was assigned by NASDAQ when we changed the company name.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid any cash or other dividends on shares of our Common Stock in the last five years, and we presently have no intention of paying any cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock or preferred stock in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, to finance the expansion and development of our business. The future payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, but we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future due to our need to fund business and product development.

Item 6.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operation

Management's discussion and analysis provides supplemental information, which sets forth the major factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Management's discussion and analysis is divided into subsections entitled “Forward Looking Statements,” “Introduction,” “Results of Operations,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Critical Accounting Policies,” and “Risk Factors.” Information therein should facilitate a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how our performance during 2007   compares with prior years.

Forward Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as historical information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors – many of those factors being beyond our control or ability to predict. Forward-looking statements include those that use forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.  Actual results may differ significantly from anticipated business and financial results.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these and other factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date initially filed or published, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our consolidated results of operations for 2007 compared to  2006; and (ii) financial liquidity and capital resources.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Form 10-KSB. 

We are a developer and manufacturer of niche consumer products selling to distributors and retailers in the United States. Our Capstone subsidiary currently operates in four primary business segments:  Lighting, Comfort Products, Power Tools and Automotive Accessories.

 
24

 

Our growth strategy has four main elements:

 
1.
Introduce our new product lines to more departments at existing retail distribution channels; and
 
2.
Continue to  expand retail distribution and move into new distribution  channels; and
 
3.
Release new innovative products in order to expand existing categories; and
 
4.
Possibly supplement such efforts through acquiring businesses that have innovative products that would compliment our existing marketing strategies.

Capstone  Lighting products  specialize in low cost, innovative portable lighting products that we believe can win a profitable niche in market share without high market penetration costs (especially marketing and advertising costs).  Capstone sells booklights, multi-task lights, flashlights and lighted magnifiers and also offers “ Private Label” programs to major retailers.   “Private Label” is the manufacture of products by a company and those products  are sold under the name or trade name of the manufacturer’s retailers, distributors or bulk buyers.  Capstone will be introducing several new book lights and eco-friendly lights this year, that have been developed in association with the engineers from the STP ® tools business unit.

Simply Comfort products are a collection of uniquely designed pillows, cushions, massage cushions and MP3 accessories made from various foams including memory foam.   We intend to expand this product line in 2008 as retail placement develops.

STP ® -branded tools were launched in October 2007. This product line includes the new technology lithium batteries for the 3.6v, 4.0v , 8.0v screwdrivers and 12v and 20v drill driver lines. The 20v system incorporates the Capstone designed Power Axis Universal Battery System which allows the same battery to be interchangeable with other 20v STP ® -branded power tools such as reciprocating saw, jig saw, circular saw, impact wrench, work light, detail sander and other products. The line also includes the 19.2v Ni-cad drill driver system, which system also uses a Universal Battery System.   We expect this category will expand with the release of new products.

STP ® -branded Automotive Accessories were also launched in October 2007. This product line includes 200w, 400w, 800w and 1000w inverters, rechargeable Spotlights from 1 million candle power up to 10 million candle power, 12v air compressor, garage clocks, weather center, creeper, mechanics chair and bar stool and the STP ® -branded Tailgate Power – portable power station.   We expect this category to expand with the release of new products.

As a small business issuer with limited resources, we do not have the resources to compete head-to-head with larger, more established competitors for any of the products.  While we face fewer competitors in our booklight and specialty light product line, we face many national or regional brand-named competitors in the power tool product line. In general, we attempt to compete by leveraging the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of our Chinese contract manufacturers in order to provide quality  products with more functions at what we deem to be a value price and supported by responsive customer service  We also seek to license established trade names to assist in competing with larger competitors.   STP ® is the first instance of trying this strategy. We believe that the use of a trade name like STP ® combined with the competitive (in terms of functions, quality and features) products offered will reduce the cost of market penetration, which is essential  because we do not have the money or funding to compete head-to-head, market-to-market with large competitors like Black & Decker, Mikita, Bosch or Ryobi.  We believe that licensing an established trade name like STP® was important to compete in the home use power tool market because that industry has many very large competitors with

 
25

 

established market shares and years of consumer loyalty to their product lines. Black & Decker is one example of a large, established competitor in the North American home use power tool market.

Since the start of the 1990’s, the history of  CHDT has been a series of failed operating subsidiaries engaged in various business lines.  With each failed business, we usually experienced a change in management and business focus.  We believe that these past failures were due to a combination of one or more of the following: (1) inadequate financing of operations; (2) absence of a readily available sources of affordable funding for operations and product and business exception; (3) absence of any or enough experienced managers or executives; (4) lack of adequate strategic and financial planning and accurate budgeting projections; (5) general economic conditions and downturns in industries that undermined many small businesses, especially in the value-added reseller of computer hardware and software developer and systems developer industries; (6) inability to raise money in the public markets due to poor financial track record of CHDT, resulting low stock market price  and lack of sufficient institutional investor and market maker support for CHDT Common Stock; (7) selection of business lines that CHDT was ill suited to compete in or acquire; (8) operating losses severely limiting the business  and financial options and resources of CHDT;  (9) frequent changes in management and business lines; (10) concurrently operating incompatible business lines that were ill-suited for a small business issuer; and (11) acquisitions that diverted resources from existing operations and ultimately failed and, as such, hindered CHDT’s efforts to attain profitability on a sustained basis.

Starting in 2007, we have sought to avoid the problems of the past by recruiting  an experienced management  and sales team for the stated  purpose to develop and expand a consumer products business and we have endeavored to raise funds for  planned business development efforts.  These steps have resulted in losses on a quarter-by-quarter basis for fiscal year 2007, but we believe that this investment in corporate infrastructure is necessary to lay the foundation for future success and business and product development.  While we are not certain that our current strategy and business line will produce sustained future profitability or any growth, we believe that the current strategy and business line is the best approach for our current management team and available resources and, in our opinion,  the most likely path to any hope of sustained future profitability.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s revenues were derived from 3 sources: (i) the sale of our booklight products (Capstone and its booklight product line was acquired by CHDT in September 2006); (ii) sale of promotional, gift and souvenir items by our recently sold SDI subsidiary; and (iii) revenues, if any,  from our 51% membership interest in CPS, which interest we divested in 2007.

Despite the recent efforts to make CHDT and its operations a focused and professionally run organization, we continue to be hampered in our efforts to achieve sustained profitability by problems that stem from the past and our history of failed businesses.

The failure of CHDT to achieve sustained profitability in its operations continues to hamper our efforts to establish and sustain a profitable, growing business.  In fiscal year 2007, we had to continue  our historical reliance on raising working capital for operations and business and product development by selling securities to investors and/or receiving loans or investment from members of management or their affiliates.  While we are in the process of obtaining bank financing for operations in the second  quarter of fiscal year 2008 to  Capstone  operations, we may have to continue to raise working capital for business and product development (as well as mergers and acquisitions of other companies or their products) by selling our securities in private

 
26

 

placements to investors and/or loans or investments by our management and their affiliates. This reliance on private placements of securities and insider loans or investments adds to the already huge number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, dilutes our shareholders and further weakens our ability to attract primary market makers and  institutional investor support for our Common Stock as a publicly traded security and also adversely impacts on our ability to do mergers and acquisitions, attract traditional bank funding or raise working capital by public offerings of our securities.

Our lack of primary market makers and institutional investor support of our Common Stock also contributes to our burden in achieving sustained, profitable business lines.   These problems stem from the manner in which CHDT was taken public in the late 1980’s and developed a public market for the Common Stock in 1998.  CHDT did not, and perhaps could not under then current circumstances, do an underwritten initial public offering and produce a national network of broker-dealers and institutional investors interested in long-term investment in CHDT and stability in the market price for the Common Stock. As a result, we have had difficulty in sustaining any increases in the market price of the Common Stock.  When the market price of the Common Stock enjoys any significant percentage increase, shareholders tend to sell the Common Stock to reap any gains (no matter how small)  from the market price increase and the selling causes the market price of the Common Stock to fall back to prior levels.  Since there are no primary market makers or institutional investors supporting the Common Stock, there are no investors effectively countering the impact of the selling pressure on the market price for the Common Stock. The low market price and lack of support for our Common Stock means that we are hampered in our ability to resort to the public markets to raise working capital because of the low stock market price. As such, we do not readily enjoy one of the principal benefits of being a public company: ready access to the public securities markets for working capital.

We intend to address the above problems in public and market maker support for our Common Stock by: (1) establishing profitability in consecutive fiscal quarters in our current consumer product business line in order to demonstrate that current management has a sound business line and business strategy; (2) upon establishing a record of profitability, members of management and agents will solicit support from institutional investors, asset managers, market makers and others to provide long-term investors in the Common Stock and stability in the public market for the Common Stock; (3) seek investment banker assistance in developing a strategic plan, including an acquisition plan, to dramatically grow CHDT in our core business line, the consumer product line.  We can make no assurances that we shall succeed in this effort.

We intend to remain focused on  niche consumer products that we believe can attain a profitable market niche with minimal market penetration costs and is attractive to our existing distribution channel of regional and national retailers and distributors. We intend to develop new products by internal efforts as well as acquire new products by mergers and acquisitions.

Results of Operations: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,213,658. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company had a net loss from operations of $228,545 and income from discontinued operations of $149,424. That is a net loss increase of $1,134,537 over 2006 results.

Total Revenues : For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had total sales of approximately $2,826,000 and $1,500,000 respectively, for an increase of $1,326,000, which represents an 88% increase over 2006. All of the revenue was generated by CHDT’s Capstone subsidiary, which through new product releases expanded its book light programs with several major national retailers. The 2007 revenues did not include any revenues from the new STP -branded tools or Simply Comfort product lines.

Cost of Sales: For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had cost of sales of approximately $1,624,000 and $884,000, respectively. The $740,000 increase represents an 83% increase over 2006 and is a direct result of the increase in product sales volume in 2007.

Gross Profit : For  2007, gross profit was $1,203,000, increased by approximately $540,000 or 82% over $663,000 in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of sales remained steady at 42.6% in 2007 as compared to 42.8% in 2006. This increase is attributed directly to the increase in product sales volume.

Operating expenses increased approximately by $1,605,000 from $849,000 in 2006 to $2,454,000 in 2007. This  increase can be attributed to various factors.

 Employee compensation increased by $1,182,000 from $238,000 in 2006 to   $1,420,000 in 2007. This was the result of hiring executives to build up the  management structure for CHDT and the hiring of experienced sales executives to assist in launching Capstone’s new product lines, STP -branded tools and Simply Comfort .  CHDT also recognized in the compensation expense approximately $533,000 for stock options granted in 2007.

Other General and administrative expenses increased approximately by $362,000 from $209,000 in 2006 to $571,000 in 2007.  The main reasons for these expenses were directors and officers insurance premiums of approximately $60,000, STP License costs: $71,000, increased Travel: $63,000, Office Relocation and Rent Expense:  $51,000, Storage and Warehousing: $48,000. This increased expense was due mainly to the development of the CHDT and Capstone infrastructure to support the STP -branded tools product line.

Other Income (Expense): Interest Expense increased for the year by approximately $72,800 from $52,400 in 2006 to $125,200 in 2007. This increased expense is the result of additional loans required to support the working capital needs of the Capstone product line expansion into STP -branded tools and the additional funding needed to build the CHDT management infrastructure.

Debt Forgiveness. In 2007,  we had total  debt forgiveness of $379,000 as compared to $0 in 2006.  A debt of $300,000 had been previously due to a former officer of the company. During the year this debt was forgiven pursuant to a release and settlement agreement.

Write-Off Notes Receivable . In December 2007,  we determined that two notes, totaling $427,710 held by CPS were uncollectible. The first note executed by CPS /William Dato on June 27, 2006 was part of the Purchase and Settlement Agreement, dated December 31, 2007, ( See Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 10-KSB ) and was valued at $202,150 when written off.


 
28

 

The second note executed on January 26, 2007 was part of the Purchase and Settlement Agreement, dated December 31, 2007,  ( See Exhibit 2.1.1 to this Form 10-KSB ) entered into with CPS to allow for the repurchases by CPS of the 51% membership interest owned by CHDT. This note was valued at $225,560 when written off.   CHDT is pursuing all legal remedies to collect these notes.

Gain on Disposal of Assets . In 2007,  we had a total gain of approximately $206,200 as compared to $0 in 2006. This gain was the result of the sale of SDI operating assets to Magnet World.

Total Other Income (Expense): The net result of these transactions was income in 2007 of approximately $37,800 as compared to an expense of approximately $42,900 in 2006.

Directors & Officers Insurance : We currently operate with directors’ and officers’ insurance and we believe our coverage is adequate to cover likely liabilities under such a policy.

Impact of Inflation: To date, we have not experienced any significant effect from inflation.  Our major expenses have been the cost of selling and marketing product lines to customers in North America.  That effort involves mostly sales staff traveling to make direct marketing and sales pitches to customers and potential customers trade shows around North America and visiting  China to maintain and seek to expand   distribution  and  manufacturing relationships and channels.  We generally have been able to reduce cost increases by strong negotiating or re-engineering products.

Country Risks .  Almost all of our contract manufacturing operations and sources of products are located in China.  We are dependent on China for almost all of the design and production of our consumer products.  As such, we are subject to significant risks not typically faced by companies operating in or obtaining  products from North America and Western Europe manufacturing sources.  Political,  economic and trade  conflicts  between the United  States and China,  including  possible conflict over North  Korea's  nuclear  weapons  program or the  independence  of Taiwan,  could severely hinder the ability of  CHDT to obtain products and fill customer orders from our current Chinese  manufacturing  sources. Further,  Chinese  commercial law is still  evolving to  accommodate  increasing capitalism in Chinese society,  especially in terms of commercial  relationships and dealings with foreign companies,  and can be unpredictable in application or principal.  The same unpredictability exists with respect to the central Chinese government,  which can  unilaterally and without prior warning impose new legal, economic  and  commercial  laws,  policies  and  procedures.   This element  of unpredictability heightens the risk of doing business in China.  While  dramatic anti-trade shit in Chinese policy or laws would seem to be clearly against the best interests of China and its current economic trends, China has a central government with the authority to make such changes.

China has been under international pressure to value its currency in a manner that would increase the value of Chinese currency in respect of other world currencies and thereby increase the cost of Chinese goods in the world market.  Such a revaluation of Chinese currency could adversely impact business by increasing costs to consumers, but this cost impact would also affect our competitors with products produced in China.  China adopted a 2% revaluation of its currency in 2005 and the U.S. Dollar declined slightly in response to this revaluation.  While under international pressure to value the Chinese currency in a manner that more realistically reflects the strength and value of the Chinese currency, China may continue to keep Chinese currency at a level that some regard as below its perceived, true value.

The U.S. dollars is the currency of used in all of our commercial transactions.

Item 7:  Financial Statements

The  financial  statements  and financial statement schedules of CHDT as well as supplementary data are listed in Item 13 below and included after the signature page to this report of Form 10-KSB.

Item 8.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

There are not and have not been any disagreements  between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices, financial statements disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

Item 8A(T).  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
  Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures .  Since December 2007, our Chief Financial Officer, assisted by our Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal disclosure control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the company.   Prior to December 2007, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer were responsible for maintaining adequate internal disclosure control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As of the date of this Report on Form 10-KSB, Stewart Wallach is our Chief Executive Officer, James Gerald (“Gerry’) McClinton is our Chief Operating Officer and Laurie Holtz is our Chief Financial Officer.  Laurie Holtz was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer in December 2007.  Mr. McClinton handle the chief financial duties prior to Mr. Holtz’s appointment.

  Our Chief Financial Officer, assisted by the Chief Operating Officer, has  reviewed  the  effectiveness  of  its disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and internal control over financial  reporting (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f))  as of the fiscal  year end of this Form 10-KSB.

            Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.   No matter how well conceived and operated, an internal  control system can provide only a certain  level of  confidence  in the ability of the internal controls  to  identify  errors.  In light  of the  inherent  limitations  in all internal  control systems and  procedures,  and the limitations of the Company's resources,  no evaluation of internal  controls can provide  absolute  assurance that all defects or errors in the  operation of  our internal  control systems are  immediately  identified.  These  inherent  limitations  include the realities  that  subjective  judgments  in  decision-making  in this area can be faulty and that a breakdown in internal  processes  can occur because of simple, good  faith  error  or  mistake.  No  design  can in all  instances  immediately accommodate  changes in regulatory  requirements  or changes in the business and financial  environment  of a company.  Such  inherent  limitations  in a control system means that inadvertent  misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be  immediately  or in a timely manner  detected.  Nonetheless, we recognize our ongoing  obligation  to use our best efforts to design and apply internal   controls  and  procedures  that  are  as  effective  as  possible  in identifying errors or breakdowns in the internal controls system and procedures.
 
 
30

 
 
The framework for our evaluation of the adequacy of our internal disclosure controls and procedures comes from our use of CCH, Inc.’s 2007 SOX for Small, Publicly Held Companies and applicable accounting standards and guidelines as supplemented by guidance from outside legal and accountant advice.

One possible weakness in our internal disclosure controls and procedures has been that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has typically only met once or twice a year.  The Audit Committee is now required to meet quarterly to review audit and, with the Chief Financial Officer, the internal disclosure controls and procedures.  We do not believe that this possible weakness constitutes a material weakness in our internal disclosure controls and procedures.

We believe our internal disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the filing of this Report on Form 10-KSB in providing reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of CHDT’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by CHDT’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Commission that permit CHDT to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-KSB.

 (b) Changes in Internal Controls

         Based on a recent review by our Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that additional resources need to be assigned to internal controls and procedures.
Such additional investment will be to pay for more frequent meeting and more oversight work by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

As stated above, the appointment of Laurie Holtz as Chief Financial Officer was, in our opinion, a major enhancement in CHDT internal controls and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
CHDT Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHDT Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 did audit the financial statements of Capstone Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, as of December 31, 2007.  However, we did not audit the financials statements of Capstone Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $812,910 as of December 31, 2006 and total revenues of $847,743 for the period from September 13, 2006 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2006.  Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Capstone Industries, Inc., as of December 31, 2006, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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 included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


 
F - 1

 


In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CHDT Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of accounting policies for CHDT Corporation (formerly, China Direct Trading Corporation”)  and Subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.  CHDT Corporation changed its name by amending its Articles of Incorporation, which name change was effective July 16, 2007 in respect of NASD Regulation, Inc. and OTC Bulletin Board approval of the name change, the trading symbol change from “CHDT.OB” to “CHDO.OB” and change in CUSIP Number for CHDT Corporation’s Common Stock and effective May 7, 2007 in terms of approval by the State of Florida of the charter amendment.
 
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
CHDT Corporation (formerly, “China Direct Trading Corporation”), a Florida corporation, was initially incorporated September 18, 1986 under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name "Yorkshire Leveraged Group, Incorporated", and then changed its situs to Colorado in 1989 by merging into a Colorado corporation, named "Freedom Funding, Inc." Freedom Funding, Inc. then changed its name to "CBQ, Inc." by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation on November 25, 1998. In May 2004, the Company changed its name from “CBQ, Inc.” to China Direct Trading Corporation as part of a reincorporation from the State of Colorado to the State of Florida.  Effective May 7, 2007, the Company amended its charter to change its name from “China Direct Trading Corporation” to “CHDT Corporation.”  This name change was effective as of July 16, 2007 for purposes of the change of its name on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
Souvenir Direct, Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 2002 under the laws of the State of Florida.  Souvenir Direct, Inc. operations were transferred to Capstone Industries, Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and Souvenir Direct, Inc. was completely dissolved on December 1, 2007.
 
On December 1, 2003, China Direct Trading Corporation issued 97 million shares common stock to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Souvenir Direct, Inc. in a reverse acquisition. At this time, a new reporting entity was created. Souvenir Direct, Inc. is considered the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes. Also on December 1, 2003, an additional 414,628,300 shares of common stock were issued to the previous owners of the Company.
 
In February 2004, the Company established a new subsidiary, China Pathfinder Fund, L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company. During 2005, the name was changed to Overseas Building Supply, LLC to reflect its shift in business lines from business development to trading Chinese- made building supplies.
 
On January 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Complete Power Solutions ("CPS") to acquire 51% of the member interests of CPS. CPS was organized by William Dato on September 20, 2004, as a Florida limited liability company to distribute power generators in Florida and adjacent states.  The Company subsequently sold its 51% membership interest in CPS, pursuant to a Purchase and Settlement Agreement dated and effective as of December 31, 2006.
 
On September 13, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (Capstone). Capstone was incorporated in Florida on May 15, 1996 and is engaged primarily in the business of wholesaling low technology consumer products to retailers in the United States.

CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Nature of Business
 
From the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company has been primarily engaged in the business of marketing and selling consumer products through national and regional retailers and distributors, primarily portable booklights, in North America.  While Capstone continues to sell the promotional, gift and novelty items previously sold by Souvenir Direct, inc., that business is secondary to the sale of consumer products to national retailers and distributors. The Company’s products are typically manufactured in the Peoples’ Republic of China by third-party contract manufacturing companies.
 
During the period that the Company owned a 51% interest in CPS (January 27, 2006 through December 31, 2006), the Company, through CPS, engaged in the business of power generators in South Florida and adjacent states.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings.  The allowance for bad debt is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based on upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the receivables.  This evaluation in inherently subjective and requires estimated that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
 
As of December 31, 2007, management has determined that the accounts receivable are fully collectible.  As such, management has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Inventory
 
The Company's inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, consists of finished goods for resale by Capstone, totaling $292,743 at December 31, 2007 and $69,895 as of December 31, 2006.
 
In addition, Overseas Building Supply had inventory of $40,441 at December 31, 2007, and deposits on inventory of $19,569, representing payments made for inventory not received by the Company as of December 31, 2006.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight- line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Computer equipment                                 3 - 7 years
Computer software                                    3 - 7 years
Machinery and equipment                       3 - 7 years
Furniture and fixtures                               3 - 7 years

CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
The Company follows FASB Statement No. 144 (SFAS 144), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  No impairments were recognized by the Company during 2007.
 
Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss.
 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives.
 
Depreciation expense was $38,583 and $7,302 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired either individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) shall be initially recognized and measured based on its fair value.  Goodwill acquired in business combinations is initially computed as the amount paid by the acquiring company in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired.
 
Costs of internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets (including goodwill) that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.
 
An intangible asset (excluding goodwill) with a definite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to determine whether events and circumstance continue to support an indefinite useful life. If and when an intangible asset is determined to no longer have an indefinite useful life, the asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangibles that are subject to amortization.
 
An intangible asset (including goodwill) that is not subject to amortization shall be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized.
 
It is the Company's policy to test for impairment no less than annually, or when conditions occur that may indicate an impairment. The Company's intangible assets, which consist of goodwill of $1,936,020 recorded in connection with the Capstone acquisition, were tested for impairment and determined that no adjustment for impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2007, whereas the fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount,

CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
The Company initially recorded goodwill of $1,567,214 in connection with the CPS acquisition.  Effective December 31, 2006, the Company disposed of its interest in CPS and, accordingly, wrote off this amount, which is included in the loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of income (loss).
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total number of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was 138,416,294 and 85,748,980, respectively.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 include the accounts of the parent entity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Souvenir Direct, Inc., Overseas Building Supply, LLC (formerly “China Pathfinder Fund, LLC”), and Capstone Industries, Inc.
 
The results of operations attributable to Capstone are included in the consolidated results of operating beginning on September 13, 2006, the date on which the Company’s interest in Capstone was acquired.
 
The results of operations attributable to the Company’s interest in its former subsidiary, CPS, for the period of time in which majority interest in CPS was held by the Company (January 27, 2006 through December 31, 2006) are included in the loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of income (loss).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2007 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2006 financial statements to conform with the 2007 presentation. There were no material changes in classifications made to previously issued financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Product Sales are recognized when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred, pricing is final or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
 
Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a component of net sales in the period the allowances are recognized.  In addition, accrued liabilities contained in the accompanying balance sheet include accruals for estimated amounts of credits to be issued in future years based on potentially defective product, other product returns and various allowances.  These estimates could change significantly in the near term.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations, applied for periods through December 31, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provision of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first date of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expenses over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25, as allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123). Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense under fixed term option plans was recorded at the date of grant only to the extent that the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant exceeded the exercise price. Accordingly, for those stock options granted for which the exercise price equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, no expense was recorded.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  There was no stock-based compensation expense attributable to options for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not vested as of December 31, 2005.  Such stock-based compensation is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123.  Compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 are based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).

In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company adopted the straight-line single option method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized during the period is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is subject to reduction for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no material amounts subject to forfeiture. The Company has not accelerated vesting terms of its out-of-the-money stock options, or made any other significant changes, prior to adopting FASB 123(R), Share-Based Payments.

On April 23, 2007, the Company granted 130,500,000 stock options to two officers of the Company.  The options vest at twenty percent per year beginning April 23, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $503,075 related to these options.

On May 1, 2007, the Company granted 4,000,000 stock options to five employees of the Company.   The options vest over two years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $29,214 related to these options.

On October 22, 2007, the Company granted 700,000 stock options to a business associate of the Company.  The options vest over two years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,330 related to these options.

The Company recognizes compensation expense paid with common stock and other equity instruments issued for assets and services received based upon the fair value of the assets/services or the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determined.

As of the date of this report the Company has not adopted a method to account for the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations. However, whereas the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset future taxable income and its current deferred tax asset is completely reduced by the valuation allowance, no material tax effects are anticipated.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company valued stock options using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25.  Since the exercise price of stock options previously issued was greater than or equal to the market price on grant date, no compensation expense was recognized.


Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 included $112,000, consisting of $25,000 included in employee compensation, $81,600 for consulting fees and $5,400 for legal fees.  Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 included $108,361, consisting of $37,500 included in employee compensation, $44,500 for consulting fees, and $26,361 for professional fees.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB has indicated it believes that SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS 159 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160").  SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”.  SFAS 141(R) provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In March 2008, the FASB issued No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  (“SFAS 161").  SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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, and the differences could be material.
 
NOTE 2 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
 
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company at times has cash and cash equivalents with its financial institution in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits.  The Company places in cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institution which minimize these risks.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $140,000.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company grants credit to its customers, substantially all of whom are retail establishments located throughout the United States.  The Company typically does not require collateral from customers. Credit risk is limited due to the financial strength of the customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across difference geographical regions.  The Company monitors exposure of credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,218,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

Celeste Trust Reg., Esquire Trade, et al. v. CBQ, Inc and Deposit on Acquisition of Treasury Stock
 
Celeste Trust Reg., Esquire Trade, et al. v. CBQ, Inc. (Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court, SDNY, 12/4/2003). As of the date of this Report, the plaintiffs in  this action have not taken any known actions to perfect an appeal the dismissal of their amended complaint ( see below ). As such, there have been no new developments in this case since the refusal of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2006 to accept an appeal of the dismissal of plaintiffs’ amended complaint.

This case concerns a lawsuit that was filed against the Company by three plaintiffs on or about December 4, 2003, but which the Company did not receive notice of until the week of February 18, 2004 or thereabouts. The Plaintiffs purchased debentures issued by Socrates Technologies Corporation (STC), a public Delaware corporation in 2000. When the Company purchased the assets of two STC subsidiaries in March 2001, the plaintiffs allege that the Company promised to issue to the Plaintiffs and others the consideration that was to be paid to STC for the acquired assets and to so do in order to compensate the plaintiffs for their investment in the STC debentures, which were apparently in default at that time. The total consideration paid for the STC subsidiaries' assets were 7.65 million shares of company Common Stock and a Promissory Note made by the Company for $700,000 principal amount. The Company has defended against the Plaintiffs' claims to date. If the Plaintiffs win a judgment on their claims, the judgment, if collected, would prove potentially ruinous the Company, unless a settlement involving no cash was arranged between the parties to the lawsuit. The Plaintiff's claims include a claim for receipt of the money due under the Promissory Note with a principal amount of $700,000. The Company lacks the cash flow or cash reserves or funding resources to pay such a claim, either in a lump sum or over time. If the

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Plaintiffs are awarded the claimed damages against the Company in this lawsuit, the Company would be unable to pay such damages, either in a lump-sum or under a schedule, and would be insolvent.
 
The Plaintiff's complaint in Celeste was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in early 2005 for failure to have all essential parties to the dispute as parties to the lawsuit. The Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint prior to the March 1, 2005 deadline for doing so. The Company defended against the Plaintiff's amended complaint, which added two former, now defunct, subsidiaries involved in the STC transaction as defendants. The assets of Networkland, Inc. and Technet Computer Services Corporation were acquired by the Company on March 15, 2001 and that transaction is at the heart of the dispute in the Celeste case .   The Court also dismissed the Plaintiff’s amended complaint on July 20,  2006. The Plaintiffs filed an appeal in September 2006 to the adverse order issued by the Court dismissing the amended complaint.  The appeal, however, was not accepted by the Court in October 2006 because there is a pending, unresolved motion for default judgment against the other defendants, Networkland, Inc. and Technet Computer Services Corporation, who are two former subsidiaries of Socrates Technologies Corporation, a defunct Delaware corporation, and not owned by or affiliated with China Direct. The staff attorney for the 2 nd Circuit stated that said motion must be resolved before the Court will entertain any appeal.  The Company is not a party to the pending motion for default judgment before the trial court; however,  the Company filed an opposition to the motion for default judgment. As of date of this Report, the Company is not aware of any action by the plaintiffs to date to resolve or remove the pending motion for default judgment against the other defendants in order to clear the way for an appeal of the judgment entered in favor of for  Company by the Court.   While the Company is confident of prevailing in  this matter, the Company is uncertain at this time of the final outcome motion for default against the other defendants or whether the plaintiffs intend to pursue this litigation further.
 
Sun Trust Bank Dispute. Sun Trust Bank line of credit and term note
 
Prior to being acquired by the company, Quantum Technology Group had a $4 million line of credit with Crestar Bank, which was subsequently acquired by Sun Trust. This line of credit was guaranteed by Quantum and five individual guarantors, including Ray Kostkowski, Anne Sigman, Skip Lewis, and Anthony Saunders. This line of credit was opened during April, 2000. On August 8, 2000, the Company acquired all of the shares of Quantum. Sun Trust asserted that $1.3 million of the line of credit had been used, and was owing to Sun Trust, as well as line of credit, a $200,000 term loan from Sun Trust to Quantum, approximately $200,000 in accrued interest and $100,000 in attorney fees -- all of which SunTrust had sought to collect from the individual guarantors. Sun Trust had not sued the Company and has not raised its prior threat to sue in 2005.
 
RAS Investment, Inc., a company affiliated with Anne Sigman, a former employee of the Company, has advised the Company that RAS has acquired the Sun Trust note and has demanded payment in cash or stock. As of the date of this Report, the Company's position remains as before, that is, that the Company is not obligated to pay the Sun Trust debts and any claims made to collect that debt could be defeated by several potential defenses and counterclaims.
 
Cyberquest, Inc.
 
As reported previously, the Company has received two claims from certain former shareholders of Cyberquest, Inc. that they hold or own approximately 70,000 shares of a class of the Company's redeemable preferred stock that was issued in the Company's 1998 acquisition of Cyberquest. Cyberquest ceased operations in 2000-2001 period. The Company has investigated these claims and has not been able to date to substantiate any of the claims to date and the claimants have not pursued their claims beyond an initial communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock.   The Company has not received any further claims or communications since mid-2006.

For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest.

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  In many cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of January 1, 2007:

United States (a)
 
2004 – Present
     
(a) Includes federal as well as state or similar local jurisdictions, as applicable.

EXHIBIT  10.6   2005 Equity Plan


CHINA DIRECT TRADING CORPORATION
(Hereinafter referred to as the “Company”)
2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
1.   PURPOSE . The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Bonuses, Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) and Restricted Stock Units. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 26.
 
2.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
 
2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 21, twenty million (20,000,000) Shares are available for grant and issuance under the Plan. Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon exercise of an Option or SAR granted under this Plan but cease to be subject to the Option or SAR for any reason other than exercise of the Option; (b) an Award granted under this Plan but are forfeited or are repurchased by the Company at the original issue price; or (c) an Award granted under this Plan that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued, will return to the pool of Shares available for grant and issuance under this Plan. No more than 6,000,000 Shares may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In order that ISOs may be granted under this Plan, no more than 3,000,000 shares shall be issued as ISOs. The Company may issue Shares, which are authorized but unissued, or treasury shares pursuant to the Awards granted under this Plan. At all times the Company will reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Options and SARs granted under the Plan and all other outstanding but unvested Awards granted under the Plan.
 
2.2 Adjustment of Shares. If the number of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, without consideration, then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan set forth in Section 2.1, (b) the Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options and SARs, (c) the number of Shares subject to other outstanding Awards, (d) the 6,000,000 maximum number of shares that may be issued as ISOs set forth in Section 2.1; (e) the 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 maximum number of shares that may be issued to an individual in any one calendar year set forth in Section 3; (f) the 2,000,000 Share limit on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant; and (g) the number of Shares that are granted as Options to Non-Employee Directors as set forth in Section 10, will be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided that fractions of a Share will not be issued

 
1

 

but will either be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fraction of a Share or will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, as determined by the Committee; and provided further that the Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the Shares.
 
3.   ELIGIBILITY . ISOs may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or of a Subsidiary. All other Awards may be granted to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees), directors and professional advisors, consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that such consultants, contractors and advisors render bona fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. The Committee (or its designee under 4.1(c)) will from time to time determine and designate among the eligible persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan. A person may be granted more than one Award under the Plan. However, no person will be eligible to receive more than 2,000,000 Shares issuable under Awards granted in any calendar year, other than new employees of the Company or of a Subsidiary (including new employees who are also officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary), who are eligible to receive up to a maximum of 3,000,000 Shares issuable under Awards granted in the calendar year in which they commence their employment.
 
4.   ADMINISTRATION.
 
4.1 Committee Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or by the Board acting as the Committee. Except for automatic grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out the Plan. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee will have the authority to:
 
(a)         construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement and any other agreement or document executed pursuant to the Plan;
 
(b)         prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award, including determining the forms and agreements used in connection with the Plan; provided that the Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer or President or the officer in charge of Human Resources, in consultation with the General Counsel, the authority to approve revisions to the forms and agreements used in connection with the Plan that are designed to facilitate Plan administration, and that are not inconsistent with the Plan or with any resolutions of the Committee relating to the Plan;
 
(c)         select persons to receive Awards; provided that the Committee may delegate to one or more Executive Officers (who would also be considered “officers” under Florida law) the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders;
 
(d)         determine the terms of Awards;
 
(e)         determine the number of Shares or other

 
2

 

consideration subject to Awards;
 
(f)         determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards under the Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or any Subsidiary;
 
(g)         grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;
 
(h)         determine the vesting, exercisability, transferability, and payment of Awards;
 
(i)         correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;
 
(j)         determine whether an Award has been earned;
 
(k)         amend the Plan; or
 
(l)         make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
 
4.2 Committee Interpretation and Discretion. Except for automatic grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 10 hereof, any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the Plan. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant. The Committee may delegate to one or more Executive Officers, the authority to review and resolve disputes with respect to Awards held by Participants who are not Insiders, and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.
 
5.   OPTIONS . The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine (a) whether the Options will be ISOs or NQSOs; (b) the number of Shares subject to the Option, (c) the Exercise Price of the Option, (d) the period during which the Option may be exercised, and (e) all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and the Plan. Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 10 hereof shall be governed by that Section.
 
5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement that will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NQSO. Except as otherwise required by the terms of Options to Non-Employee Directors as provided in the terms of Section 10 hereof, the Stock Option Agreement will be substantially in a form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 
3

 

 
5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant the Option, unless a later date is otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement, and a copy of the Plan and the current Prospectus for the Plan (plus any additional documents required to be delivered under applicable laws), will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the Option is granted. The Stock Option Agreement, Plan, the Prospectus and other documents may be delivered in any manner (including electronic distribution or posting) that meets applicable legal requirements.
 
5.3 Exercise Period and Expiration Date. An Option will be exercisable within the times or upon the occurrence of events determined by the Committee and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing such Option, subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, and subject to Company policies established by the Committee (or by individuals to whom the Committee has delegated responsibility) from time to time with respect to vesting during leaves of absences. The Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the last date that the Option may be exercised (the “Expiration Date”); provided that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of seven years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a Ten Percent (10%) Stockholder will be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise (including, without limitation, upon the attainment during a Performance Period of performance goals based on Performance Factors), in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares subject to the Option as the Committee determines.
 
5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted and, subject to the 2,000,000 Share limit of Section 2.1 hereof on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market value on the date of grant, may be less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares); provided that (i) the Exercise Price of an ISO will not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent (10%) Stockholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased must be made in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement.
 
5.5 Procedures for Exercise. A Participant or Authorized Transferee may exercise Options by following the procedures established by the Company’s Stock Administration Department, as communicated and made available to Participants by the Company.
 
5.6 Termination.
 
(a) Vesting. Any Option granted to a Participant will cease to vest on the Participant’s Termination Date, if the Participant is Terminated for any reason other than “total disability” (as defined in this Section 5.6(a)) or death. Any Option granted to a Participant who is an employee who has been actively employed by the Company or any

 
4

 

Subsidiary for one year or more or who is a director, will vest as to 100% of the Shares subject to such Option, if the Participant is Terminated due to “total disability” or death. For purposes of this Section 5.6(a), “total disability” shall mean: (i) (A) for so long as such definition is used for purposes of the Company’s group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plan or group long term disability plan, that the Participant is unable to perform each of the material duties of any gainful occupation for which the Participant is or becomes reasonably fitted by training, education or experience and which total disability is in fact preventing the Participant from engaging in any employment or occupation for wage or profit; or, (B) if such definition has changed, such other definition of “total disability” as determined under the Company’s group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plan or group long term disability plan; and (ii) the Company shall have received from the Participant’s primary physician a certification that the Participant’s total disability is likely to be permanent. Any Option held by an employee who is Terminated by the Company, or any Subsidiary within one year following the date of a Corporate Transaction, will immediately vest as to such number of Shares as the Participant would have been vested in twelve (12) months after the date of Termination had the Participant remained employed for that twelve month period.
 
(b) Post-Termination Exercise Period. Following a Participant’s Termination, the Participant’s Option may be exercised to the extent vested as set forth in Section 5.6(a):
 
(i) no later than 90 days after the Termination Date if a Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, unless a longer time period, not exceeding five years, is specifically set forth in the Participant’s Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option may be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option; or
 
(ii) no later than (A) twelve months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due to Disability or (B) eighteen months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due to death or if a Participant dies within three months of the Termination Date, unless a longer time period, not exceeding five years, is specifically set forth in the Participant’s Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option may be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
 
5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option; provided that the minimum number will not prevent a Participant from exercising an Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.
 
5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in that calendar year will be

 
5

 

ISOs, and the Options for the Shares with a Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. If the Code is amended to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different limit shall be automatically incorporated into the Plan and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of the Code’s amendment.
 
5.9 Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions of Shares Acquired on Exercise of an ISO. If a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO on or before the later of (a) the date two years after the Date of Grant, and (b) the date one year after the exercise of the ISO (in either case, a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the Company may require the Participant to immediately notify the Company in writing of such Disqualifying Disposition.
 
5.10 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted; and provided, further that without stockholder approval, the modified, extended, renewed or new Option may not have a lower Exercise Price than the outstanding Option. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants affected, by a written notice to them; provided, however, that unless prior stockholder approval is secured, the Exercise Price may not be reduced below that of the outstanding Option.
 
5.11 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered, and no discretion or authority granted under the Plan will be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.
 
6.   RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.
 
6.1 Awards of Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Committee will determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the Purchase Price, the restrictions under which the Shares will be subject and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:
 
6.2 Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award will be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, which will be in substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. A Participant accepts a Restricted Stock Award by signing and delivering to the Company a Restricted Stock Purchase

 
6

 

Agreement with full payment of the Purchase Price, within thirty days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement was delivered to the Participant. If the Participant does not accept the Restricted Stock Award within thirty days, then the offer of the Restricted Stock Award will terminate, unless the Committee determines otherwise.
 
6.3 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for a Restricted Stock Award will be determined by the Committee and, subject to the 2,000,000 Share limit of Section 2.1 hereof on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant, may be less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares) on the date the Restricted Stock Award is granted. Payment of the Purchase Price must be made in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with any procedures established by the Company’s Stock Administration Department, as communicated and made available to Participants by the Company.
 
6.4 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards will be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose. These restrictions may be based on completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. Prior to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Award; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the payment for Shares to be purchased under any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such Restricted Stock Award has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and a Participant may participate simultaneously with respect to Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and having different performance goals and other criteria. 
 
6.5 Termination During Performance Period. If a Participant is Terminated during a Performance Period or vesting period, for any reason, then such Participant will be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Restricted Stock Award only to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, unless the Committee will determine otherwise.
 
7.   STOCK BONUS AWARDS.
 
7.1 Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus Award is an award to an eligible person of Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units) for services to be rendered or for past services already rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary. All Stock Bonus Awards shall be made pursuant to a Stock Bonus Agreement, which shall be in substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will

 
7

 

comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. No payment will be required for Shares awarded pursuant to a Stock Bonus Award. Stock Bonus Awards shall be subject to the 2,000,000 share limit of Section 2.1 hereof on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
 
7.2 Terms of Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee will determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant under a Stock Bonus Award and any restrictions thereon. These restrictions may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or upon satisfaction of performance goals based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Stock Bonus Agreement. If the Stock Bonus Award is to be earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Stock Bonus Award; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the issuance of any Shares or other payment to a Participant pursuant to a Stock Bonus Award, the Committee will determine the extent to which the Stock Bonus Award has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and a Participant may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonus Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to a Stock Bonus Award to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.
 
7.3 Form of Payment to Participant. The Committee will determine whether the earned portion of a Stock Bonus Award will be paid to the Participant currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee may determine. To the extent permissible under law, the Committee may also permit a Participant to defer payment under a Stock Bonus Award to a date or dates after the Stock Bonus Award is earned. Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares earned under a Stock Bonus Award on the date of payment, and in either a lump sum payment or in installments.
 
7.4 Termination of Participant . In the event of a Participant’s Termination during a Performance Period or vesting period, for any reason, then such Participant will be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Stock Bonus Award only to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Committee determines otherwise.
 
8.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
 
8.1 Awards of SARs. A Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) is

 
8

 

an award to an eligible person that may be settled in cash, or Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock), having a value equal to the value determined by multiplying the difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price and the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being settled. The SAR may be granted for services to be rendered or for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Subsidiary. All SARs shall be made pursuant to a SAR Agreement, which shall be in substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.
 
8.2 Terms of SARs. The Committee will determine the terms of a SAR including, without limitation: (a) the number of Shares deemed subject to the SAR; (b) the Exercise Price and the time or times during which the SAR may be settled; (c) the consideration to be distributed on settlement of the SAR; and (d) the effect on each SAR of the Participant’s Termination. The Exercise Price of the SAR will be determined by the Committee when the SAR is granted and, subject to the 2,000,000 Share limit of Section 2.1 hereof on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than Fair Market value on the date of grant, may be less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares. A SAR may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as are set out in advance in the Participant’s individual SAR Agreement. If the SAR is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals, then the Committee will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for each SAR; and (y) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure the performance, if any. Prior to settlement of any SAR earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a SAR Agreement, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such SAR has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to SARs that are subject to different performance goals and other criteria. The Exercise Price of an outstanding SAR may not be reduced without stockholder approval.
 
8.3 Exercise Period and Expiration Date. A SAR will be exercisable within the times or upon the occurrence of events determined by the Committee and set forth in the SAR Agreement governing such SAR. The SAR Agreement shall set forth the last date that the SAR may be exercised (the “Expiration Date”); provided that no SAR will be exercisable after the expiration of seven years from the date the SAR is granted. The Committee may also provide for SARs to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise (including, without limitation, upon the attainment during a Performance Period of performance goals based on Performance Factors), in such number of Shares or percentage of the Shares subject to the SAR as the Committee determines. 8.4 Form and Timing of Settlement. The portion of a SAR being settled may be paid currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee determines. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, either in a lump sum payment or in installments, as the Committee determines.
 
9.   RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
 
9.1 Awards of Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) is an award to an eligible person covering a number of Shares that may be settled in cash, or by issuance of those Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services to be rendered or for past services already rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary. The Committee may authorize the issuance of RSUs to certain eligible persons who elect to defer cash compensation. All RSUs shall be made pursuant to a RSU Agreement, which shall be in substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. RSUs are subject to the 2,000,000 share limit of Section 2.1 hereof on the aggregate number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards having an Exercise Price or Purchase Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
 
9.2 Terms of RSUs. The Committee will determine the terms of a RSU including, without limitation: (a) the number of Shares deemed subject to the RSU; (b) the time or times during which the RSU may be exercised; (c) the consideration to be distributed on settlement, and the effect on each RSU of the Participant’s Termination. A RSU may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals based on Performance Factors during any Performance Period as are set out in advance in the Participant’s individual RSU Agreement. If the RSU is being earned upon satisfaction of performance goals, then the Committee will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the RSU; (y) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure the performance, if any; and (z) determine the number of Shares deemed subject to the RSU. Prior to settlement of any RSU earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a RSU Agreement, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such SAR has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and participants may participate simultaneously with respect to RSUs that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to the RSUs to take into account changes in law and accounting and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.
 
9.3 Form and Timing of Settlement. The portion of a RSU being settled may be paid currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee determines. To the extent permissible under law, the Committee may also permit a Participant to defer payment under a RSU to a date or dates after the RSU is earned. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, either in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee determines.

The Shares may be subject to legends or other restrictions as described in Section 15 of the Plan.
 
12.   WITHHOLDING TAXES.
 
12.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate(s) for the Shares. If a payment in satisfaction of an Award is to be made in cash, the payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.
 
12.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.
 
13.   PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP . No Participant or Authorized Transferee will have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant or

 
12

 

Authorized Transferee. After Shares are issued to the Participant or Authorized Transferee, the Participant or Authorized Transferee will be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if the Shares are Restricted Stock, any new, additional or different securities the Participant or Authorized Transferee may become entitled to receive with respect to the Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock; provided further, that the Participant or Authorized Transferee will have no right to retain such dividends or distributions with respect to Shares that are repurchased at the Participant’s original Exercise Price or Purchase Price pursuant to Section 15.
 
14.   TRANSFERABILITY . No Award and no interest therein, shall be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no Award may be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process; provided, however that with the consent of the Committee a Participant may transfer a NQSO to an Authorized Transferee. Transfers by the Participant for consideration are prohibited. Without such permission by the Committee, a NQSO shall like all other Awards under the Plan be exercisable (a) during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative; and (b) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s heirs or legatees.
 
15.   RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to repurchase all or a portion of a Participant’s Shares that are not “Vested” (as defined in the Award Agreement), following the Participant’s Termination, at any time within ninety days after the later of (a) the Participant’s Termination Date or (b) the date the Participant purchases Shares under the Plan, for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness with respect to Shares, at the Participant’s original Exercise Price or Purchase Price; provided that upon assignment of the right to repurchase, the assignee must pay the Company, upon assignment of the right to repurchase, cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares over the original Purchase Price.
 
16.   CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan (whether in physical or electronic form, as appropriate) will be subject to stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions that the Committee deems necessary or advisable, including without limitation restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may be listed.
 
17.   ESCROW. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant’s Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other transfer instruments approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company, to

 
13

 

hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates.
 
18.   SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE . An Award shall not be effective unless the Award is in compliance with all applicable state, federal and foreign securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state, federal or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state, federal or foreign securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.
 
19.   NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY . Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or Subsidiary or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.
 
20.   REPRICING PROHIBITED; EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS . The repricing of Options or SARs is prohibited without prior stockholder approval. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with prior stockholder approval, in the case of an Option or SAR exchange, and the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy from a Participant an Option previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant shall agree.
 
21.   CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
 
21.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. In the event of a Corporate Transaction any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption or replacement shall be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant. In the event such successor corporation, if any, refuses to assume or replace the Awards, as provided above, pursuant to

 
14

 

a Corporate Transaction or if there is no successor corporation due to a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, such Awards shall immediately vest as to 100% of the Shares subject thereto at such time and on such conditions as the Board shall determine and the Awards shall expire at the closing of the transaction or at the time of dissolution or liquidation.
 
21.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under Section 21.1, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, any outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or sale of assets.
 
21.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in substitution of such other company’s award, or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under the Plan. Such substitution or assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if the other company had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.
 
22.   ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on January 20, 2005. The Plan shall become effective upon approval by stockholders of the Company, consistent with applicable laws.
 
23.   TERM OF PLAN. The Plan will terminate two years following the date it became effective upon approval by stockholders of the Company.
 
24.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Board nor the Committee shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans, or pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rule promulgated thereunder. In addition, no amendment that is detrimental to a Participant may be made to any outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant.
 
25.   NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN; UNFUNDED PLAN. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem

 
15

 

desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company nor the Board shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards made pursuant to the Plan. Neither the Company, the Committee, nor the Board shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan.

9.5
Independent Covenants .
 
The Restrictive Covenants set forth herein are each to be construed as a separate agreement, independent of any other provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action that Executive may have against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any provision of this Section 9 against the Executive.
 
 
 
34.
Enforcement .
 
Equitable Relief Authorized .  Executive acknowledges that in the event of a violation of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, Company’s business interests will be irreparably injured, the full extent of Company’s damages will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for Company, and Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement to prevent a breach or threatened breach of the Agreement by temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage and without the necessity of posting bond or security, which Executive expressly waives. Executive also agrees that Company may, in addition to injunctive relief, seek monetary damages for any breach of the provisions contained in this Agreement in addition to equitable relief and that the granting of equitable relief shall not preclude Company from recovering monetary damages.
 
Modification .  Company and Executive represent that in entering into this Agreement it is their intent to enter into an agreement that contains reasonable employment and post-employment restrictions and that such restrictions be enforceable under law. In

Severability .  If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
Notification of New Employer .  In the event that Executive leaves the employ of the Company for any reason, Executive agrees to inform any subsequent employer of his rights and obligations under this Agreement. Executive further hereby authorizes the Company to notify his new employer about Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including by delivering a copy of this Agreement, and any written modifications thereto, to any subsequent employer.
 
 
 
35.
General Terms .
 
No Prior Agreements .  Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by Executive and his/her employment by the Company and the performance of his/her duties hereunder will not violate or be a breach of any agreement with or obligation to a former employer, client or any other person or entity, and Executive agrees to indemnify the Company for any costs and expenses arising out of a claim by any such third party has against the Company based upon or arising out of any non-competition agreement or other restrictive covenant, invention or confidentiality agreement between Executive and such third party which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement and which Executive is alleged to be in violation of.

Executive waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim, or counterclaim brought by any party in connection with any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, the relationship of Executive to the Company and /or any claim of injury or damage arising in any way between and among the Company and Executive. Provided, however, that Executive agrees that nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Company from initiating legal action in any court which has personal and subject matter jurisdiction over me in the event that it is necessary for the Company to pursue equitable relief against me for a breach of this Agreement.
 
Assignment .  This Agreement is personal to Executive and he may not assign it without prior written consent of the Company. The Company may, without Executive’s consent, assign the Agreement to any successor entity, including the Restrictive Covenants of Section 9.

36.             Resolution of Disputes .
 
Except as provided, herein, and in the event of any claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement or otherwise related to the parties’ employment relationship, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for the purpose of resolving such dispute. In the event that the parties cannot resolve the claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy informally within fifteen (15) days, then such claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by a mandatory arbitration in Miami, Florida before one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration and shall share equally the costs of the arbitration itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without undermining the agreement to arbitrate on any other claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy, the Company shall at all times have and retain the exclusive and unilateral right to seek immediate temporary and preliminary injunctive relief in a court of law in the event of a violation or alleged violation by the Executive of Sections 7, 8, or 9 of this Agreement. In the event such judicial relief is granted, such relief shall remain binding on the parties pending the outcome of arbitration. THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL AND FINANCIAL COUNSEL CONCERNING THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THAT EACH HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH ENTERS INTO IT WILLINGLY.
