1. DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
General
(a)
Business Development
Chardan
Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”,
“our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2008.
Effective May 25, 2010, the Company redomesticated from the State
of Nevada to the Territory of the British Virgin Islands. Effective
the same date, the Company's authorized capital was changed from
100,000,000 of common shares $0.0001 par value to 50,000 common
shares without a par value and from 10,000,000 of preferred shares
$0.0001 par value to no preferred shares
authorized. Common Stock is the only authorized capital
of the Company. Since inception, which was September 26, 2008, the
Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining
initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a
business combination and has been seeking to identify a a suitable
counterparty for such a transaction and to determine, through
discussions with potential counterparties, the pertinent terms
thereof. While discussions with various potential
counterparties are continuing, the Company has not entered into a
letter of intent concerning any target business. The business
purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger
with, an existing company. On July 28, 2010, the Company’s
Board of Directors authorized a change in the Company’s
fiscal year end to January 31 from September 30.
(b) Business of Issuer
The
Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check"
company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) defines those companies as "any development
stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of
Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific
business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan
is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC
Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a
“shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets
(other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have
enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of
securities of "blank check" companies in their respective
jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts
to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or
equity, until we have successfully concluded a business
combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is
subject to those requirements.
The
Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business
seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held
corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for
the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve
long-term growth potential through a combination with a business
rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not
restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific
business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire
any type of business.
The
analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or
under the supervision of the officers and director of the
Registrant. As of this date the Company has not entered into any
definitive agreement with any party, although we have
been and continue to be engaged in discussions with multiple
business combination candidates. None of those
discussions has reached the point that we can determine a
transaction is likely. The Registrant has unrestricted
flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential
business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential
acquisition targets, the Registrant will consider the following
kinds of factors:
(a)
Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated
market expansion or new products;
(b)
Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and
experience within the industry segment as well as within the
industry as a whole;
1
(c)
Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled
for recruitment;
(d)
Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required
funds, to be provided by the Registrant or from operations, through
the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or
similar arrangements or from other sources;
(e)
The cost of participation by the Registrant as compared to
the perceived tangible and intangible values and
potentials;
(f)
The extent to which the business opportunity can be
advanced;
(g)
The accessibility of required management expertise,
personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and
other required items; and
(h)
Other relevant factors.
In
applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be
controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and
circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable
investigative measures and available data. Potentially available
business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and
at various stages of development, all of which will make the task
of comparative investigation and analysis of such business
opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the
Registrant's limited capital available for investigation, the
Registrant may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts
about the opportunity to be acquired.
FORM OF
ACQUISITION
The manner
in which the Registrant participates in an opportunity will depend
upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and
desires of the Registrant and the promoters of the opportunity, and
the relative negotiating strength of the Registrant and such
promoters.
It is
likely that the Registrant will acquire its participation in a
business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other
securities of the Registrant. Although the terms of any such
transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain
circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an
acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section
368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business
own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a
transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions
rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code,
all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or
less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving
entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative
negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain
substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial
additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of
the Registrant prior to such reorganization.
The
present stockholders of the Registrant will likely not have control
of a majority of the voting securities of the Registrant following
a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or
a majority of the Registrant's directors may resign and one or more
new directors may be appointed without any vote by
stockholders.
In the
case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon
the sole determination of management without any vote or approval
by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation
directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call
a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain
such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional
expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will
also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting
stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any
such transaction so as not to require stockholder
approval.
2
It is
anticipated that the investigation of specific business
opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of
relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments
will require substantial management time and attention and
substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a
decision is made not to participate in a specific business
opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related
investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an
agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business
opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result
in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs
incurred.
We
presently have no employees apart from our management. Our officers
and directors are engaged in outside business activities and
anticipate that they will devote to our business very limited time
until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been
identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our
employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business
combination.
(c)
Reports to security holders.
(1) The
Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security
holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of
such a report.
(2) The
Company will file reports with the SEC. The Company will be a
reporting company and will comply with the requirements of the
Exchange Act.
(3) The
public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the
SEC in the SEC's Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on
the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site
that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other
information regarding issuers that file electronically with the
SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
Employees
We have no
full time employees. Our president has agreed to allocate a portion
of his time to the activities of the Company, without compensation.
The president anticipates that our business plan can be implemented
by his devoting no more than 10 hours per month to the business
affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may
arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such
officer.
ITEM
2. DESCRIPTION OF
PROPERTY
We have no
properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire any
properties. We currently use the offices of management at no cost
to us. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until we
complete an acquisition or merger.

5. MARKET FOR COMMON
EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No Public
Market for Common Stock
There is
no trading market for our Common Stock at present and there has
been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that a
trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop,
that it will continue.
3
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for
purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of
less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any
transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s
account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or
dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account
for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i)
obtain financial information and investment
experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a
reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must
also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the
penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the
basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed,
written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in
penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and
about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, current quotations for the securities
and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements
have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in
penny stocks.
Holders
As of the
date hereof, there are 50,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. There are two holders of our Common Stock. The
issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock were issued in
accordance with the exemptions from registration afforded by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Dividends
Since
inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We
currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future on our common stock, when issued pursuant to
this offering. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any,
to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of
Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in
the future.
Payment of
dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital
requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may
deem relevant.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information
We
presently do not have any equity based or other long-term incentive
programs. In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity-based
or other long-term incentive plan if it is in the best interest of
the Company and our stockholders to do so.
ITEM

DATA

7. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We were
organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation
warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the
perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our
principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such
time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a
combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term
earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate
target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical
location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
We do not
currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow.
The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for
the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with funds to
be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or
other investors.
4
During the
next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
|
|
(i)
|
filing of
Exchange Act reports, and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
consummating
an acquisition.
|
We believe
we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds to be
loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders, management or
other investors.
We are in
the development stage and has negative working capital, negative
stockholders’ equity and has not earne
