This proxy statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed proxy card are first being sent or given to our stockholders on or about June 4, 2013. This proxy statement and our 2012 Annual Report are also available at www.tht.com

PURPOSES OF THE MEETING

At the Annual Meeting, we will ask you to consider and act upon the following matters:

  1.

The election of seven persons as directors of the Company, each to serve for a term of one year, or until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

     
  2.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Who May Vote

Only stockholders of record of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on May 28, 2013 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting and for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting during office hours at the executive offices of the Company at No. 5 Nanhuan Road, Tiexi District, Siping, Jilin Province 136000, People’s Republic of China, by contacting the Secretary of the Company.

A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date, or a “quorum,” must be present, either in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting in order to transact business. Should you submit a proxy or voter instructions, even if you abstain as to one or more proposals, or you are present in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares shall be counted for the purpose of determining if a quorum is present.

Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Annual Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holder, such as a brokerage firm, bank or trust company, holding shares of record for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee holder does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

As of the Record Date, we had issued and outstanding 20,453,500 shares of Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share then held on all matters to be voted at the Annual Meeting. No other class of voting securities was then outstanding.

Voting Your Proxy

You may vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that is being mailed to you. If you have received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, or if you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials mailed to you, you can also vote by mail by completing, dating, and signing the proxy or vote instruction form and mailing it in the pre-addressed envelope provided, which requires no additional postage if mailed in the United States. You may submit your vote over the Internet until 11:59am (EST) on July 21, 2013. If you vote by mail, please be aware that we can recognize your vote only if we receive it by close of business of the second business day before the Annual Meeting.

You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held through a broker, trust, bank, or other nominee, please refer to the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials mailed to you and any other information forwarded to you by such holder of record to obtain a valid proxy from it. You will need to bring this legal proxy with you to the Annual Meeting in order to vote in person.

Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on all matters. The shares represented by any proxy duly given will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If you are a registered holder and no specific instructions are given the shares will be voted FOR all of the nominees for the Board of Directors (Proposal 1), and FOR the ratification of MaloneBailey as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2). If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must give your broker, bank, trust or nominee specific instructions on how to vote your shares of Common Stock with respect to Proposal 1. If you fail to give specific instructions with respect to such proposals, your vote will not be counted for those matters. If you fail to give instructions with respect to Proposal 2, your broker, bank, trust or nominee will generally be able to vote such shares at their discretion. In addition, if other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters.

Stockholders have no cumulative voting, dissenter’s or appraisal rights relating to the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Tabulation of Votes. Han Xiao has been appointed Inspector of Elections for the Annual Meeting, and in such capacity will separately tabulate the affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes with respect to each of the proposals.

Revoking Your Proxy

Even if you submit a proxy or voter instructions, you may revoke and change your vote. You may revoke your proxy or voter instructions by submitting a new proxy or voter instructions over the Internet by using the procedure to vote your shares online described in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. You may also revoke your proxy by mail by requesting a copy be mailed to you or executing and mailing a subsequently-dated proxy. You may also revoke your proxy by your attendance and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke a proxy or voter instructions. We will vote the shares in accordance with the directions given in the last proxy or voter instructions submitted in a timely manner before the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your vote over the Internet until 11:59am (EST) on July 21, 2013. If you revoke your vote by mail, please be aware that we can recognize the revoked vote only if we receive it by close of business of the second business day before the Annual Meeting.

If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous meeting. You are strongly encouraged, regardless of the number of shares you own or your intention to attend the Annual Meeting, to vote your shares as described above.

Stockholder Communication with the Board

We believe that it is important for our stockholders to be able to communicate their concerns to our Board. Stockholders may correspond with any director, committee member, or the Board of Directors generally by writing to the following address: THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc., THT Industrial Park, No. 5 Nanhuan Road, Tiexi District, Siping City, Jilin Province, People’s Republic of China, Attention: Zhigang Xu. Please specify to whom your correspondence should be directed. All correspondence will be forwarded to the relevant director, committee member, or the full Board of Directors, as indicated in your correspondence.

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Our directors are encouraged to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.

Code of Ethics

On September 25, 2009, our Board adopted a new Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The new Code of Ethics replaces our prior Code of Ethics that applied only to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and any person who performed similar functions. Our Code of Ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found on our website www.tht.com.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Ethics.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has oversight responsibility of the processes established by management to report and monitor systems for material risks applicable to the Company. In addition, the Board considers the risks inherent in our corporate strategy and offers insight to management relating to risk. At Board meetings, the Board considers strategic risks and opportunities as well as risks to the Company’s reputation and reviews risks related to the sustainability of its operations together with management’s input. Each committee of the Board monitors the risks associated with their areas of responsibility and consults with the rest of the Board regarding any risks relevant to their area of responsibility. It is management’s responsibility, however, to manage day-to-day risk and bring to the Board of Directors’ attention the most material risks to the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Zhao is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board has chosen Mr. Zhao to serve as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer because the Board believes that he will best serve the Company and our stockholders in that dual role. During Board meetings when Mr. Zhao is present, he leads the Board.

The lead independent director position is determined by the issues to be discussed by the independent members of the Board and is lead by the Chairman of the relevant committee. Independent members of the Board met in executive session four times during 2012. Mr. Chen, as Chairman of the Audit Committee, was the lead director during the executive sessions.

Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings

Our directors are expected to attend Board meetings as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and to spend the time needed to prepare for each such meeting. The Board held four meetings during 2012.

11


Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

  • been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

We did not have any promoters at any time during the past five fiscal years.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each member of all our Committees are independent as director independence is specifically defined with respect to such members under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations. A copy of the charters for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is available both at the “Investors” section of the Company’s website located at www.tht.com and in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which consists of Messrs. Chen (chairman), Tao, Lian and Tsang, is primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls. Mr. Chen serves as our audit committee financial expert as that term is defined by the applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2012.

12


Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which consists of Messrs. Tao (chairman), Chen, Lian, and Tsang, oversees all aspects regarding the nominating of directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is also responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held two meetings during 2012.

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee endeavors to identify individuals to serve on the Board who have expertise that is useful to us and complementary to the background, skills, and experience of other Board members. The Nominating/Governance Committee’s consideration of candidates for membership on the Board may include such factors as (a) the skills of each member of the Board, including each director’s business and management experience, accounting experience, and understanding of corporate governance regulations and public policy matters; (b) the characteristics of each member of the Board, which may include leadership abilities, sound business judgment, and independence; and (c) the general composition of the Board, which may include public company experience of the directors. The principal qualification for a director is the ability to act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Each of the candidates for director named in this proxy statement have been recommended by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and approved by the Board of Directors for inclusion on the attached proxy card.

Board Diversity. The Company does not have a specific policy on diversity relating to the selection of nominees for the Board, but the Board believes that while diversity and a variety of experiences and viewpoints represented on the Board should always be considered, a director nominee should not be chosen nor excluded solely or largely because of race, color, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, or identity. In selecting a director nominee, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee focuses on diversity in the broadest sense, considering, among other things, skills, expertise, or background that would complement our existing Board taking into account the Company’s business and industry.

Stockholder Nominees. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers director nominees recommended by stockholders. See the section of this proxy statement titled, “Deadline for Stockholder Proposals,” for a description of how stockholders desiring to make nominations for directors and/or to bring a proper subject before a meeting should do so. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates director candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as it evaluates director candidates recommended by our directors, management, or employees.

Compensation Committee

General. The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Tsang (chairman), Tao, Chen and Lian. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during 2012. The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our compensation and benefit policies, including compensation of executive officers. When determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee typically reviews the following materials, among others:

  • Financial reports on year-to-date performance versus budget and compared to prior year performance.
  • Calculations and reports on levels of achievement of individual and corporate performance objectives.
  • Reports on the Company’s strategic objectives and budget for future periods.
  • Information on the executive officers’ stock ownership and option holdings.
  • Peer companies’ information regarding compensation programs and compensation levels.

These materials may also be reviewed during regular Board of Directors meetings.

Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for (i) overseeing the determination, implementation, and administration of the remuneration (including compensation, benefits, bonuses, and perquisites) of all directors and executive officers of the Company, (ii) reviewing and approving all equity compensation to be paid to other Company employees, and (iii) administering the Company’s equity-based compensation plans, although the Company does not currently have any such plans. Our compensation program and policies are designed to help us attract, motivate, and retain executives of outstanding ability and align the interests of key leadership with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders in order to maximize the return to stockholders.

13


Management’s Role in the Compensation-Setting Process. Management plays a role in the compensation-setting process. The most significant aspects of management’s role are:

  • evaluating employee performance;
  • establishing business performance targets and objectives; and
  • recommending salary levels and any equity awards.

The Chief Executive Officer works with the Compensation Committee to provide:

  • background information regarding the Company’s strategic objectives;
  • his evaluation of the performance of the senior executive officers; and
  • compensation recommendations as to senior executive officers (other than himself).

Although our Chief Executive Officer may recommend to the Compensation Committee the compensation package and awards to our executive officers, the Compensation Committee approves the compensation packages and also grants all awards to executive officers. The Company does not currently have a stock option or other equity incentive plan.

Role of Compensation Consultants. The Compensation Committee may retain a compensation consultant from time to time to assist the Compensation Committee in researching and evaluating executive officer and director compensation and compensation programs. The Compensation Committee did not engage any independent compensation consultants in 2012.

Delegation of Authority. The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Compensation Committee in order to determine or administer the compensation to the Company’s executive officers and/or directors.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation philosophy is to align the interests of executive management with stockholder interests and with our business strategy and success through an integrated executive compensation program that considers short-term performance, the achievement of long-term strategic goals and growth in total stockholder value.

14


The key elements of our executive compensation philosophy are competitive base salary, annual incentive opportunities and equity participation. Our aggregate compensation package is designed to attract and retain individuals critical to the long-term success of the Company, to motivate these persons to perform at their highest levels, and to reward exceptional performance.

The compensation of our executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, except that the entire Board makes the final determination as to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews and revises compensation proposals prepared by Human Resources and presents his recommendations to the Compensation Committee for the Committee’s ultimate review and approval. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in Compensation Committee meetings and is not involved in decisions relating to his own compensation.

Elements of Compensation

We pay each of our named executive officers a base annual salary. Bonuses and equity incentives may also be provided to supplement base salary. The criteria for determining each of these components of compensation is described below. We do not provide retirement benefits and only minimal perquisites except as described below.

Base Salary. Base salary levels for executive officers are set forth in their individual employment agreements, and are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below under the heading “Executive Compensation”. However, the Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group compensation analysis or target any particular compensation level in establishing the base salaries for named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee believes that any increases in base salary should be based upon a favorable evaluation of individual performance relative to individual goals, the functioning of the executive’s team within the corporate structure, success in furthering corporate strategy and goals, individual management skills and responsibilities, demonstrated loyalty, and the Company’s commitment to attract and retain executives. We expect that our Compensation Committee will reward superior individual and company performance with commensurate cash and other compensation. Salary will next be reviewed when the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, but the Compensation Committee will not review salary more frequently than on an annual basis.

Bonuses. Executives are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements. However, in fiscal 2012 we did not set any performance targets and no discretionary bonuses were paid. If our Compensation Committee determines to do so in the future, bonuses may be paid on an ad hoc basis to recognize superior performance. If the Compensation Committee determines to provide bonus compensation as a regular part of our executive compensation package, it will establish performance goals for each of the executive officers and maximum bonuses that may be earned upon attainment of such performance goals. Some of the components of our key performance appraisal index that we may use to consider in establishing these performance goals include the following: internal control improvement, cash flow (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable), sales (revenue, accounts receivables collection, gross profit, customer credit management and goods delivery management), costs and expenses (financial costs, manufacturing costs, general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, research and development costs), and capital expenditures.

Equity Incentives. Named executive officers are eligible for equity awards in the form of restricted stock. Equity awards are granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The size of an award to any individual, including named executive officers, depends in part on individual performance, including the components of our key performance appraisal index described above and any other indicators of the impact that such employee’s productivity may have on stockholder value over time. Other factors include salary level and competitive data. In addition, in determining the number of stock options or shares of restricted stock granted to each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the future benefits potentially available to the named executive officers from existing awards. The number of options or restricted shares granted depend in part on the total number of unvested options and restricted shares deemed necessary to provide an incentive to that individual to remain with the Company for the long-term.

We seek to further align management and stockholder interests by giving to executives an equity interest in our company, the value of which depends upon stock performance. The Committee believes that using restricted stock as part of the overall equity awards program better aligns the interest of management and stockholders as restricted stock closely replicates the economic characteristics of capital stock. No grants of restricted stock were made to any of our named executive officers during fiscal year 2012.

15


Retirement Benefits. Currently, we do not provide any company-sponsored retirement benefits or deferred compensation programs to any employee, including the named executive officers (other than a mandatory state pension scheme in which all of our employees in China participate) because it is not customary to provide such benefits and programs in China.

Perquisites. Historically, we have provided our named executive officers with minimal perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable, such as company car-related benefits. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of compensation, but do believe they can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining the executive talent for which we compete.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following report has been submitted by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors:

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed our Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for our 2012 annual meeting, which is incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, each as filed with the Commission.

We entered into separate independent director contracts and indemnification agreements with each of Messrs. Wenquan Tao and To Tsang. Under the terms of the independent director’s contracts, we agreed to pay each of Mr. Tao and Mr. Tsang an annual fee of $24,000, as compensation for the services to be provided by them as independent directors. Under the terms of the indemnification agreements, we agreed to indemnify the independent director against expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the independent director in connection with any proceeding if the independent director acted in good faith and in our best interests. We agreed to pay Mr. Lian and Mr. Chen an annual fee of $12,000 and $36,000, respectively, as compensation for the services to be provided by them as independent directors. We have not entered into independent director agreements or indemnification agreements with Mr. Poppel, Mr. Lian and Mr. Chen.

Mr. Guohong Zhao and Mr. Fucai Zhan are paid in their capacity as executive officers of the Company and they do not receive any additional compensation for their service as directors.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our present and prior directors and officers or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation in which we own shares of capital stock or of which we are a creditor against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any actions, suits or proceedings in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of us or of such other corporation, in the absence of negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.

17


Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is composed of Messrs. Chen (Chairman), Tao, Lian and Tsang. The Board has determined that (i) each member of our Audit Committee is “independent” as defined under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations (ii) each member of our Audit Committee meets the audit committee composition requirements in the NASDAQ listing standards and (iii) Mr. Chen qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and regulations.

In accordance with a written charter adopted by the Board, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for overseeing the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial reporting processes, including the system of internal controls, for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the charter on a regular basis, and at least annually. The Audit Committee Charter is available through the Company’s website located at www.tht.cn and in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the financial reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and issuing a report on those consolidated financial statements and issuing a report on internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. In fulfilling its responsibilities set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, the Committee has accomplished, among other things, the following:

  • it has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for 2012 with management
  • it has discussed with its independent registered public accounting firm, MaloneBailey, the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees (SAS 61), as amended and adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T
  • it has received from MaloneBailey, written disclosures and the letter required by applicable PCAOB rules regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence
  • it has discussed with MaloneBailey its independence from us

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for filing with the SEC.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

(PROPOSAL 2)

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm For 2013

The Audit Committee has selected the firm of MaloneBailey as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2013. Stockholder ratification of the selection of MaloneBailey as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of MaloneBailey to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain MaloneBailey. In such event, the Audit Committee may retain MaloneBailey, notwithstanding the fact that the stockholders did not ratify the selection, or select another nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm without re-submitting the matter to the stockholders. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee reserves the right in its discretion to select a different nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Representatives of MaloneBailey are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Fees. The Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm, PKF Hong Kong, Certified Public Accountants (“PKF”) was paid aggregate fees of approximately $129,000 and $94,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements.

Board of Directors Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Board of Directors has adopted the policy to pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors. The Audit Committee monitors audit services engagements; reviews such engagements; and approves any changes in the terms, conditions, fees, or scope of such engagements. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain services, including the following:

  • services associated with periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC; and
  • tax services.

The following services require specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee: annual audit services engagement, terms and fees, including required quarterly reviews, and report on internal controls over financial reporting.
