Risk Factors

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

Our performance depends upon public spending on marine infrastructure

Our ability to generate revenues significantly depends upon the PRC government’s public spending on port infrastructure. Our major customers include PRC government agencies at the national, provincial and local levels, and state-owned enterprises. We are therefore affected by changes in public works’ budgets. The future growth of the ports infrastructure industry in the PRC depends primarily upon the continued availability of major marine transportation infrastructure projects. The nature, extent and timing of these projects will, however, determined by the interplay of a variety of factors, including the PRC government’s spending in the marine transportation infrastructure industry in the PRC and the general conditions and prospects of the PRC economy. The PRC government’s spending in the marine transportation infrastructure industry has historically been, and will continue to be, vulnerable to the PRC’s economy and is cyclical in nature. Should there be a significant reduction in public spending on marine transportation infrastructure projects in the PRC and we fail to open up new markets in or outside the PRC, our operations and profits could be adversely affected.

 
11

 

Our profitability is subject to inherent risks because of the fixed-price nature of most of its contracts

Our revenues are derived from our role as a subcontractor for general contractors of dredging projects. Substantially all of the contracts between us and the general contractors are fixed-price contracts or fixed unit price in nature. Under a fixed-price contract, the customer agrees to pay a specified price for its performance of the entire contract. Fixed-price contracts carry inherent risks, including risks of losses from underestimating costs of materials, operational difficulties and other changes that may occur over the contract period. As a result, we will only realize profits on these contracts if we successfully estimate project costs and avoid cost overruns.

One of the most significant factors affecting the profitability of a dredging project is the weather at the project site. Inclement or hazardous weather conditions can result in substantial delays in dredging and additional contract expenses. Due to these factors, it is possible that we will not be able to perform obligations under fixed-price contracts without incurring additional expenses. Should we significantly underestimate the costs on one or more significant contracts, the resulting losses could have a material adverse effect on us.

In the past several years we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from a small group of customers and we expect this to continue to be the case. The loss of any one of these customers could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our customer base has been, and we expect it to remain, highly concentrated. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the four major customers accounted for 100% and the three major customers accounted for 93% of our total sales, respectively, and the single largest customer accounted for 40%, and 48% of total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from year-to-year, during such years that our customer base is highly concentrated, the loss of, or reduction of our sales to, any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our general contractor clients may continue to expand internal capacity and modernize their fleets which may reduce their reliance on subcontracting and limit our business growth.

Our largest general contractor clients have subcontracted a substantial amount of dredging work in the past, reflecting a large shortfall in internal capacity.  If these clients continue to invest in a modern fleet for larger capacity and better efficiency, they may be reducing reliance on subcontracting. Since our prospects for growth are primarily driven by increases in subcontracting by our major clients, a reduced subcontracting demand from those clients would adversely impact our growth prospects.

Our operations may cause substantial harm to persons, property and the environment, which could hurt our reputation and, to the extent they are not covered contractually or by insurance could cause us to incur substantial costs.

Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in providing dredging services, such as the risk of equipment failure, vessel collision, industrial accidents, fire and explosion. These hazards can cause personal injuries and losses of lives, business interruptions, property and equipment damage, pollution and environmental damage. We may be subject to claims as a result of incidents relating to these and other hazards.

We normally seek to limit our exposure to these claims and liabilities through contractual limitations of liability and insurance. These measures, however, may not always be effective because of various reasons outside of control, including, among other things:

·
In some of the jurisdictions in which we operate, environmental and workers’ compensation liabilities may be assigned to us as a matter of law and may not be limited through contracts;

 
12

 
 
·
Insurance coverage may not be sufficient because it may not be possible to obtain adequate insurance against some risks on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Insurance products, in particular, have become increasingly expensive and sometimes very difficult to obtain. In this regard, consistent with what it’s believed to be the customary practice in the PRC, we do not carry any business interruption insurance.  While we do have Ship Pollution Liability coverage for certain environmental damage and third-party losses that arise from fuel or chemical leaks from the three vessels that we own, there may be circumstances in which we would not be fully covered or compensated for losses and liabilities arising from interruptions to our operations, construction accidents, defects in our work or other risks by insurance that we have maintained. Our Ship Pollution Liability coverage is for up to RMB 5,000,000 ($ 732,000) annually for Xinggangjun #66, RMB 2,500,000 ($366,000)  annually for Xinggangjun #3 and RMB 2,110,000 ($ 309,000) annually for Xinggangjun #6.

Failure to effectively cover these risks for any of the above reasons could expose us to substantial costs and potentially lead to material losses. Additionally, the occurrence of any of these risks may harm our reputation, which may materially inhibit our ability to win more projects.

Customers pay us by way of progress payments, and delay in progress payments may affect working capital and cash flow.

Most of our contracts provide for progress payments from our general contractor customers based upon the value of work completed upon reaching certain milestones. Generally a site engineer issues a progress certificate certifying the work progress in the preceding contract stage. The customers then effect payments with reference to these certificates. As a result, we are often required to commit resources to projects prior to receiving payment from customers in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on the projects as they are incurred. We can make no assurance that the progress payments will be remitted by customers to us on a timely basis or that we will be able to efficiently manage the level of bad debt arising from such payment practice.

Delays in progress payments from customers would increase working capital needs. If a customer defaults in making its payments on a project to which we have devoted significant resources, it would also affect our liquidity and decrease the capital resources that are otherwise available for other uses. In such cases, we may file a claim for compensation of the loss of a payment default, but settlement of disputes of this nature generally takes substantial time in the PRC and financial and other resources, and the outcome is often uncertain.

We require substantial capital and any failure to obtain the capital needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may adversely affect our expansion plans and growth prospects.

The transportation infrastructure industry in which we operate is generally capital intensive. It requires significant capital to build, maintain and operate our production and operation facilities, resulting in high fixed costs. It also requires significant capital to purchase dredging equipment, develop new services and products and develop and implement new technologies. Our capital expenditures may increase as a result of the further upgrade of our dredging fleet and expansion of our scope of operations.

Under most of our contracts, we are required to finance dredging equipment, and performance of engineering, construction and other work on projects for periods averaging approximately one month before receiving progress payments from customers in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures. We may therefore have significant working capital requirements. Our working capital requirements would materially increase if our general contractor customers impose extended payment terms in line with their corporate averages, which approach three months.  To the extent that our working capital funding requirements exceed our financial resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing or to defer planned expenditures. In the past, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditures through a combination of sources, including cash flow from our operations and bank and other borrowings. If we are unable to obtain financing in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost, our expansion plans may be delayed, project progress may be constrained, and our growth, competitive position and future profitability may be adversely affected.

 
13

 

Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.

Backlog represents our estimate of the contract value of work that remains to be completed as at a certain date. The contract value of a project represents the amount that is expected to be received under the terms of the contract if the contract is performed in accordance with its terms. As of June 30, 2010, we had a backlog of approximately US$135.5 million.  There is no assurance that the revenues anticipated by the backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. Projects may remain in backlog for an extended period of time. In addition, project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur from time to time, which could reduce the dollar amount of the backlog and the revenue and profits that are ultimately earned from the contracts. As a result, investors should not unduly rely on the backlog information presented in this filing as an indicator of our future earnings.

Failure to meet schedule requirements of contracts could require us to pay liquidated damages.

Substantially all of our contracts with general contractors are subject to specific completion schedule requirements with liquidated damages charged to us if we do not achieve the schedules. Liquidated damages are typically levied at an agreed rate for each day of delay that is deemed to be our responsibility. Any failure to meet the schedule requirements of the contracts could cause us to pay significant liquidated damages, which would reduce or eliminate profit on the relevant contracts and could adversely affect liquidity and cash flows and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to extensive environmental, safety and health regulations in the PRC, the compliance with which may be difficult or expensive.

The PRC government has published extensive environmental, safety and health regulations with which we need to comply. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in penalties, fines, suspension or revocation of our licenses or permits to conduct business, and litigation. Given the magnitude and complexity of these regulations, compliance with them may be difficult or involve the expenditure of significant financial and other resources to establish effective compliance and monitoring systems. In addition, these regulations are constantly evolving. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not impose additional or stricter laws or regulations, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant costs that may not be able to be passed on to our customers. Furthermore, some of the new overseas markets that we are seeking to enter may have more onerous environmental, safety and health regulations than China, compliance with which may be very costly and could hinder its endeavors to enter these new overseas markets.

Our operations depend heavily on the timely availability of an adequate supply of supplies and component parts at acceptable prices and quality.

To operate successfully, we must obtain from our suppliers sufficient quantities of consumables, such as mud pipe and dredge pumps at acceptable prices and quality and in a timely manner. In 2008 and 2009, the cost of raw materials and consumables accounted for approximately 73.8% and 77.0% of the aggregate of total cost of sales respectively. During times of short supplies, we may have to pay significantly higher prices to obtain the consumable components required for our operations. Most of our dredging contracts specify a fixed unit price and we are responsible for procuring consumable supplies needed for the projects. As a result, when prices of such consumables increase, we are unlikely to be able to pass the price increases on to our customers. The profitable performance of our contracts also requires components and supplies of high quality. If quality components and supplies are not available, it could directly and adversely affect the quality, timeliness or efficiency of our work, undermine our reputation and increase the chances of potential disputes and liabilities; all or any of which may negatively affect future profits and projected growth.

We face significant competition in the markets in which we currently operate, which could adversely affect our financial results and business prospects.

 
14

 
 
We face significant competition in the PRC markets in which we operate. Our competition comes from various sources, including the internal operations of our general contractor customers and numerous private companies providing dredging services as general contractors or subcontractors.  Some of our competitors may have advantages over us in terms of capacity, access to capital pricing and management expertise. Our market position and growth prospects depend on our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors, including pricing strategies adopted by competitors, changes in customer preferences or work priorities, availability of capital and financing resources and the introduction of new or improved equipment, technology and services.

We can offer no assurance that our current or potential competitors will not offer services or products comparable or superior to those that we offer at the same or lower prices or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving industry trends or changing market conditions.  We may lose our customers to our competitors if, among other things, we fail to keep our prices at competitive levels or to sustain and upgrade our capacity and technology. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins and loss of market share.

Our operations require permits or licenses and the loss of these permits or licenses could significantly hinder our business and reduce our expected turnover and profits.

We require operating permits and licenses to conduct our business in PRC waters and we must comply with the restrictions and conditions imposed by various levels of government to maintain our permits and licenses. Such restrictions include limitations on foreign ownership of vessels and the licensed entity performing dredging works, maintenance of sufficient number of qualified personnel, maintenance of sufficient project track record and compliance with safety regulations and environment protection regulations. If we fail to comply with any of the regulations required for the maintenance of our licenses, our licenses could be temporarily suspended or even revoked, or the renewal of our licenses upon expiration of their original terms may be delayed, which would directly impact our ability to undertake dredging work and reduce our revenue and profit.

We may encounter unexpected difficulties in expanding into new markets.

We plan to expand the geographical coverage of overseas operations, including Vietnam, Taiwan and other Asian countries. Expansion into overseas markets carries with it many associated risks, including risks related to being relatively new in such markets. Expansion may also stretch our capital, personnel and management resources that are otherwise available for our current business. In addition, there may be many established incumbent players in these markets, who already enjoy a significant presence, and it may be difficult for us to win market share from them. Some of the overseas markets that we are considering may have high barriers of entry to foreign competitors. There can be no assurance that our expansion plans outside of the PRC will be successful.

Our continued success requires hiring and retaining qualified personnel, including a Chief Financial Officer.

Our future success is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain personnel, including executive officers and key qualified personnel, who have the necessary and required experience and expertise. Particularly, our success is largely attributable to the highly qualified and experienced personnel that we have been able to attract and retain in the past such as captains and chief engineers for dredgers or construction-related geology analysts. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and it has periodically experienced difficulties in recruiting suitable personnel. We may lose these persons to those competitors who are able to offer more competitive packages, or we may have to significantly increase its related staff costs.

We are dependent on the principal members of our management staff, including  Xinrong Zhuo, our Chief Executive Officer.   While we have entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Zhuo, there are circumstances under the agreement in which Mr. Zhuo may elect to terminate his employment pursuant to the agreement. Even if Mr. Zhuo were to terminate employment with us in breach of his agreement, we would have little or no practical recourse against Mr. Zhuo under PRC law, so there can be no assurance that Mr. Zhuo will continue to be employed by us for as long as we require his services.

 
15

 
 
In addition, we currently do not have a Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Zhuo is currently the “acting” chief financial officer, but Mr. Zhuo has no experience as a chief financial officer or the equivalent thereof.  He has no educational or other background or experience in accounting, public accounting, financial and internal controls or financial procedures. As a result the financial statements that are prepared by the company, may not be accurate or reflect proper accounting procedures.  Furthermore, the review of the financial statements by our auditors may take longer time as a consequence of the lack of an experienced Chief Financial Officer which could also negatively impact the company's ability to timely file any required reports with the SEC. We are currently engaged in a search for a new chief financial officer, but can make no assurance that we will find a suitable chief financial officer in a timely manner.

RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE PRC

The political and economic policies of the PRC government could affect our businesses and results of operations

The economy of the PRC differs from the economies of most developed countries in a number of respects, including the degree of government involvement, control of capital investment, and the overall level of development. Before its adoption of reform and open up policies in 1978, China was primarily a planned economy. In recent years the PRC government has been reforming the PRC economic system and the government structure. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. Economic reform measures, however, may be adjusted, modified or applied inconsistently from industry to industry or across different regions of the country. As a result, we may not continue to benefit from all, or any, of these measures. In addition, it cannot be predicted whether changes in the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have any adverse effect on our current or future business, financial condition and results of operations.

Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S dollar terms.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in the PRC use their local currency as their functional currencies. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on PRC government policies and the PRC’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result of this policy change, Chinese Renminbi appreciated approximately 2.5% against the U.S. dollar in 2005 and 3.3% in 2006. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.

The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge its exchange rate risks, although it may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge its exchange rate risks.

 
16

 
 
Although PRC governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain all required conversion approvals for our operations or that PRC regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC, or to repay foreign currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC legal system is evolving and has inherent uncertainties regarding interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations that could limit the legal protections available to you.

Fujian Service, our operating company, is organized under the laws of the PRC. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited weight as precedents. Since 1979, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited number and non-binding nature of published cases, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.

Substantial amendments to the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law came into effect on January 1, 2006. As a result, the State Council and the CSRC may revise the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions and adopt new rules and regulations, to implement and to take into consideration the amendments to the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law. There can be no assurance that the revision of the existing rules and regulations, and the adoption of new rules and regulations by the State Council and the CSRC will not have a material adverse impact on the rights of our shareholders.

Our operations and assets in the PRC are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.

Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under our current leadership, the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the PRC government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and our directors and officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for our investors to enforce their rights based on the United States Federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the PRC.

 
17

 
 
All of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States. In addition, our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC and all of their assets are located outside of the United States.  The PRC does not have a treaty with United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise.

Due to various restrictions under PRC laws on the distribution of dividends by our PRC operating companies, we may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders.

The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended and The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended and the Company Law of the PRC (2006) contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises. Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, they are required to set aside a certain amount of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation and cannot be used for working capital purposes. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC.  We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from the profits of Fujian WangGang.

Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our ordinary shares.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

There is no public market for our securities and one may never develop.

There has been no public market for our ordinary shares or our Series A preferred shares. An active trading market may not develop in the future or, if developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair the value of your securities and your ability to sell your securities at the time you wish to sell them. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling securities and may impair our ability to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using our securities as consideration.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.
History and Development of the Company
 
Our Corporate Structure
 
China Dredging Group Co., Ltd. is a BVI holding company, incorporated on April 14, 2010 pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended.  China Dredging Group’s registered office is located at Kingston Chambers, PO Box 173, Road Town, Tortola, BVI.  China Dredging conducts its dredging operations through its PRC-based subsidiary Fujian Service, a company organized under the laws of the PRC on January 8, 2008 under the name Fujian Xing Gang Shipping Co., Ltd., which was officially changed in June 2009 to Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co., Ltd.  China Dredging’s principal place of business is located in the PRC at Floor 18, Tower A, Zhongshan Building, No. 154, Hudong Road, Gulou District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.  Its telephone number is +86 591 8727 1266.
 
 
18

 
 
China Dredging Group Co., Ltd. was incorporated by three corporate affiliates of the founders of Fujian Service: Venus Seed Co. Ltd. (“Venus”), whose beneficial owner is Kit Chan, one of our directors; Saturn Glory Co. Ltd. (“Saturn”), whose beneficial owner is Bin Lin, our Senior Vice President; and Mars Harvest Co. Ltd. (“Mars”) whose beneficial owner is Xinrong Zhuo, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
 
China Dredging’s wholly owned subsidiary, China Dredging HK, was organized under the laws of Hong Kong on April 26, 2010 to serve as a holding company for Fujian WangGang, a PRC company organized on June 12, 2010, and wholly-foreign-owned enterprise under PRC law.  On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang acquired a 50% direct equity interest in Fujian Service. The remaining 50% equity interest in Fujian Service is held by Wonder Dredging Construction LLC (“Wonder Dredging”), a PRC company owned by Qing Lin and Panxing Zhuo. Pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, Fujian Service’s corporate existence terminates on January 7, 2028.
 
Our current corporate structure is as follows:
 
 
October 2010 Merger
 
On October 27, 2010, we merged with Chardan Acquisition Corp. (“CAC”), a BVI company and a public reporting, non-trading shell company (the “Merger”).  The terms of the Merger are set forth in an agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), that provides that China Dredging continues as the surviving company following the Merger.  The circumstances dictate that the Merger be accounted for as a recapitalization, with the Company being treated as the accounting parent (acquirer).  Immediately prior to, and in contemplation of, the consummation of the Merger the Company effected a redesignation of its shares.  The only adjustment necessary was to retroactively adjust the Company’s legal capital for the share redesignation. All references to the number of ordinary shares issued in the accompanying financial statements and elsewhere in this Report have been restated accordingly. At the time of the Merger, all of the issued shares of CAC were exchanged for 500,000 ordinary shares of China Dredging, or 0.95% of China Dredging’s issued ordinary shares, while our shareholders immediately prior to the Merger retained 52,177,323 ordinary shares, or 99.05%.  As a result of the Merger, China Dredging became a public reporting company.  CAC, being the non-surviving company, ceased its corporate existence, and was removed from the Register of Companies in the BVI.

 
19

 
 
October 2010 Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors purchased 4,371,000 of our Series A preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share for aggregate proceeds to us of $ 21,855,000 (the “Offering”).  Each Preferred Share is convertible into one of our ordinary shares.  Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) acted as the lead placement agent in connection with the October 2010 Private Placement.  Net proceeds to the Company from the initial closing of the Offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $2.0 million, were $19.8 million. We paid Chardan a cash fee of $1,529,850 or 7% of the gross proceeds received by us, in addition to a $50,000 retainer fee.  We have until December 28, 2010 to hold additional closings for a maximum aggregate offering of up to 10 million Preferred Shares (or $50,000,000), and upon the mutual agreement by us and Chardan, we can increase the maximum aggregate offering to 15 million Preferred Shares (or $75,000,000).

The issuance of the Preferred Shares in the Offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), Regulation D and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act. We have relied on the status of the investors as (i) “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, or (ii) non-US persons under Regulation S, as the case may be, in claiming the exemption from registration of the Preferred Shares.

Securities Escrow and Make-Good Provision
 
On October 29, 2010, our controlling shareholder, a company controlled by Mr. Xinrong Zhuo, placed into escrow 15,000,000 of our ordinary shares (the “Make-Good Escrow”) pursuant to a securities escrow agreement. If we miss the earnings targets set forth below, holders of the Preferred Share will receive additional shares from the Make-Good Escrow, up to the full number of shares held in the Make-Good Escrow.  The number of additional shares that may be issued to investors in the October 2010 Offering if we fail to meet the Adjusted Net Income targets set forth below is equal to: (Original Invested Shares * (Target EPS/Actual EPS)) – Original Invested Shares.  “Actual 2010 (2011) EPS” means the Adjusted Net Income for fiscal year 2010 (2011) divided by the number of our fully diluted outstanding shares. “Target EPS” means the performance threshold for the applicable year divided by the number of our fully diluted outstanding shares. Adjusted Net Income means after-tax net income based on U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude (i) non-cash charges associated with the merger, this Offering and planned subsequent IPO or other financing, (ii) expense related to the release of the Escrow Shares, and (iii) expenses related to implementation of any of the agreements related to the Offering. Adjusted Net Income for 2010 shall be calculated by adding the Adjusted Net Income of Fujian XingGang Port Service Co. Ltd. for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the Adjusted Net Income of the Company on a consolidated basis for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The pro-rata right to receive shares issuable pursuant to this “Make-Good” provision will be based upon initial Preferred Shares issued to holders.  Shares not distributed from the share escrow will be returned to the shareholder that contributed them.
 
The Adjusted Net Income targets for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years are as follows:
 
Year
 
Adjusted Net Income target
 
2010
  $ 48,142,735  
2011
  $ 87,043,678  
 
 
20

 
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated October 29, 2010, we agreed to use our best efforts to file within 60 days of the final closing of the Offering, a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission to register for resale (i) the ordinary shares underlying the Preferred Shares issued in the Offering, (ii) the 15,000,000 shares held in the Make-Good Escrow, (iii) 37,177,323 ordinary shares held by certain of our founding shareholders which are not part of the Make-Good Escrow and (iv) the 500,000 shares issued to Chardan pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). If the registration statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC within 180 days of the initial filing date of such registration statement, subject to certain exceptions, liquidated damages of 0.3% of the purchase price per month will accrue and will be payable in cash on a monthly basis, provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of liquidated damages payable at any time to any holder of Preferred Shares exceed 10% of the amount of such holder’s initial investment in the Offering.
 
Variable Interest Entity Agreements

Under applicable PRC law, companies in certain industries are not allowed to lawfully operate if their foreign ownership exceeds a government specified level.  Wholly foreign-owned construction enterprises may only undertake certain types of construction projects, according to the PRC Regulations on Administration of Foreign-Invested Construction Enterprises, thus Fujian Service’s business operation will be adversely affected if its foreign-owned equity is increased to 75%.  Additionally, as a marine contractor working on restricted projects within the PRC, Fujian Service is required to register its vessels under the flag of the PRC, and foreign ownership of PRC-registered vessels (or their corporate parents) is limited to 50%.  Wonder Dredging qualifies as a PRC entity under PRC law and its ownership of 50% of Fujian Service allows Fujian Service to meet both the requirements for foreign ownership under its qualifications as a marine construction company and as an operator of dredging vessels within PRC waters.

On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang entered into an equity investment agreement with Fujian Service pursuant to which it committed to invest $23,602,460 in Fujian Service and for which it received a 50% equity interest in Fujian Service.  Accordingly, Wonder Dredging holds 50% of the equity interest of Fujian Service and Fujian WangGang holds the other 50%.   Fujian Service, Wonder Dredging and Fujian Wang Gang  have entered into a series of exclusive variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Fujian Service that allow Fujian Wang Gang to, , among other things,  fully control Fujian Service’s business operations, policies and management, approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, and receive 100% of the annual net income earned by Fujian Service Below is a summary of the VIE Agreements.

Exclusive Purchase Right of the Equity Interests.  Pursuant to an exclusive option agreement (the “Exclusive Option Agreement”) dated June 30, 2010 by and among Wonder Dredging, Fujian WangGang and Fujian Service, Wonder Dredging irrevocably granted to Fujian WangGang an exclusive right to purchase up to all of the equity interest in Fujian Service that is held by Wonder Dredging, to the extent allowed under the current PRC law.  Accordingly, if and when the current limitations on direct ownership of Fujian Service by Fujian WangGang are eased or cease, Fujian WangGang may exercise its option to purchase and directly own the equity interests of Fujian Service.  The purchase price for the equity interest in Fujian Service held by Wonder Dredging shall be equivalent to the net asset value reflected in Fujian Service’s then current quarterly report prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.  The term of the Exclusive Option Agreement is 20 years, which term continuously renews unless the option is exercised in full or the agreement is otherwise terminated by the parties. The agreement also provides that upon consummation of the exercise of the option, Wonder Dredging will contribute, without additional consideration, any funds actually received by it from Fujian WangGang for the transfer of its equity interest in Fujian Service to Fujian WangGang, together with its right to receive a RMB350,803,477 ($51,087,387) dividend declared by Fujian Service on May 27, 2010.

Business Overview
 
We believe that we are one of the leading privately-owned dredging companies in the PRC.  Since inception, we have functioned exclusively as a specialist subcontractor, performing dredging services for other companies licensed to function as general contractors.  Dredging involves the preservation or enhancement of navigability of waterways through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. Depending on its purposes, dredging can be largely classified into three main areas:
 
 
·
navigation,
 
·
reclamation, and
 
·
environmental protection.
 
Dredging for navigation purposes can be further classified into two areas: (i) capital dredging, i.e., the initial dredging necessary for the construction or deepening of ports and navigation channels and (ii) maintenance dredging, i.e., dredging which is later required of ports and navigation to ensure that the size of the port or channel is sufficient to allow for the passage of larger size ships.
 
Reclamation dredging involves pumping or otherwise transferring sand and gravel onto the sea shore or river bed nearby in order to raise the surface of sea shore or river bed above the high-water level and thereby increase the availability of land.
 
We engage in capital dredging, maintenance dredging and reclamation dredging projects.  Currently, we primarily source our projects by subcontracting projects from general contractors. Through our management skills, efficient operation and effective cost control, we have established a competitive edge and gained a credible reputation in our market. Moreover, by successfully executing on many projects, we have strengthened our relationship with our general contractors, an important factor in establishing a secure pipeline of future business.
 
In March 2010, we signed non-binding “Long Term Cooperation Agreements” with CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd. and CCCC Guangzhou Dredging Co., Ltd, each a subsidiary of China Communications, and in February 2010 signed a similar agreement with Changjiang Wuhan Waterway Engineering Company, a subsidiary of Changjiang Waterway. According to the agreements, the China Communications subsidiaries have indicated their intention to subcontract no less than 100 million m3 of dredging volume and no less than $146.4 million of contract value to us in 2010. In subsequent years, available contract value would  increase by 30% annually through 2014. Terms with the Changjiang Waterway subsidiary are similar, except that contract value will grow by 20% annually in the four years after 2010. Collectively, these agreements represent $3.7 billion of potential contract value in total from 2010-2014.

Operating Process

Overview
 
Our operations principally involve identifying potential projects, signing subcontracts and carrying out the contract dredging work. We have developed a comprehensive project management system spanning the project execution process, including project planning, contract management, contract performance, project control and project completion.
 
Our Role and Participation Level
 
We participate in dredging activities solely as a subcontractor to qualified large general contractors such as China Communications and Changjiang Waterway, since our dredging projects are typically one portion of a much larger-scale construction project that could cover elements such as port construction, cofferdam, and other fields of work in which we do not engage. The terms of the main contracts with the underlying customers are generally reflected in the contracts we sign with the general contractors.

These general contractors with which we generally work have strict evaluation procedures based on a number of parameters including their evaluation of subcontractor performance on previous jobs.  We have observed that our general contractor customers prefer to maintain long and close relationships with reliable subcontractors like us and to establish with them training programs and technical cooperation arrangements that bolster consistency and quality of work.  We also perceive that the subcontracting levels of the PRC’s largest general contractors have increased in the past few years as the gap continues to widen between their capacity and the national backlog of dredging projects. In some cases, we believe that subcontracting is appealing to our customers because it allows the subcontractors to improve overall efficiency and make the total project more manageable by outsourcing some fraction of the work. Accordingly, we believe, based on the non-binding cooperation agreements that we have executed with our largest general-contractor customers that those customers intend to increase the amount of work that is subcontracted to specialist subcontractors such as us.

Identifying Projects
 
We identify potential projects from a variety of sources, including advertisements by governmental agencies, through the efforts of our business development personnel and through meetings with general contractors and other industry participants. After determining which projects are available, we make a decision on which projects to pursue based on factors including project size, duration, availability of personnel, current backlog, competitive advantages and disadvantages, prior experience, geographic location and type of contract.
 
Pre-Qualification
 
We are generally required to complete a prequalification process with the applicable general contractor for the project. General contractors generally require that we meet certain qualification requirements before negotiating or accepting our application for a project. The prequalification process may require the submission of information concerning financial condition, past experience and the availability of personnel and equipment. If a general contractor determines that a prospective subcontractor does not meet its criteria it will not award the proposed project to the subcontractor.
 
 
23

 

Project Pricing and Negotiation
 
Prior to agreeing on a subcontract, we perform a study of the proposed project, including an evaluation of the technical and commercial conditions and requirements of the project followed by a site visit. The information we collect is then analyzed to arrive at the cost of items included in a detailed project budget used in the negotiation of price terms with the general contractors. Most contracts are awarded and carried out on a fixed-price basis (subject to certain adjustment factors for certain unforeseen conditions) with a predetermined timetable for project completion. These types of contracts generally commit the contractor to provide specified resources and to complete the project for a fixed sum or at fixed unit prices on a specified schedule. As is typical for dredging subcontracts, our contracts to date were the result of negotiations with the general contractor customers and are not competitively bid.
 
Our contracts to date have not contained escalation clauses since they are of short duration and raw materials with volatile prices, such as fuel, are typically supplied by the prime contractor for use on the job at no cost to us. Correctly estimating the costs involved in a fixed-price contract is crucial to achieving profitability. We carefully estimate the costs of each project prior to signing a subcontract. Our estimates are based upon both the general contractors’ estimates of material quantities to be dredged and our own experience in estimating project costs. There are a number of factors that can influence the final project costs as compared to the original contract price. The most important factors include site and environmental conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid, the geographic location of the project, the availability and pricing of raw materials, and inclement weather conditions.
 
Payment Terms
 
The specific payment terms on our subcontracts vary from project to project, however, they have generally provided for us to receive payments following completion of each stage of completed work.  This is customary in the industry.  Our typical short-duration subcontract provides for payment to us of 20% to 30% at the end of the second month of work, 20-30% at the end of the third month of work and the balance within ten days after completion.  Prior to payment, each stage of the project is certified as completed by a site engineer and accepted by the general contractor. All of our projects completed to date have been performed within the range of two to nine months. We carefully monitor our costs throughout the life of a project to protect us against or to minimize significant cost overruns.
 
Project Implementation
 
We appoint a project manager to be responsible for all project activities. The project manager divides work on a project into distinct components and assigns each component to a responsible crew based upon the nature of such work and the crew’s qualifications and experience.  Project managers typically prepare a detailed plan for the project that includes the following elements:
 
 
·
project schedule (consistent with the project conditions and payment schedule);
 
·
labor deployment (consistent with the skill level and the estimated number of workers for each type of work);
 
·
provision of temporary office and public utilities, for example, water, electricity and telephone; and
 
·
work plans/instructions detailed for each phase of the project.

The implementation process includes devising detailed dredging plans, procuring materials, assigning work to captains, coordinating with general contractors or their consultants, coordinating with suppliers, and taking charge in the overall management of the project.

In May 2009 we entered into a purchase agreement with Yiyang Zhonghai Vellel LLC for a new Non-Self Propelled Cutter Suction dredger with a capacity of 3,800 m3/h, at a purchase price of RMB200 million ($29.28 million), on which we made a down payment of RMB 15 million ($2.2 million).  The contract stipulates that payments toward the purchase price of the new dredger, after giving effect to the down payment, shall be made according to the following schedule: 30% within three months of delivery, 25% within 6 months of delivery, 25% within 9 months of delivery and 20% within 12 months of delivery.  Delivery of the vessel is expected in May 2012.

Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger
 
Trailer Suction Hopper Dredgers are typically self-propelled and have the general appearance of an ocean-going vessel. The dredger has hollow hulls, or ‘‘hoppers’’, into which material is suctioned hydraulically and deposited. Once the hoppers are filled, the dredger sails to the designated disposal site and either bottom-dumps the material or pumps the material from the hoppers through a pipeline to a designated location. Hopper dredgers can operate in rough waters, and are less likely to interfere with ship traffic than other types of dredgers. They can also move quickly from one project to another.
 
Cutter Suction Dredger
 
Cutter Suction Dredgers remove material using a revolving cutter head which cuts and churns the sediment on the ocean floor and hydraulically pumps the material by pipe to the disposal location. These dredgers are very powerful and can dredge some types of rock. Certain materials can be directly pumped as far as seven miles with the aid of booster pumps. Cutter suction dredgers work with an assortment of support equipment that assists with the positioning and movement of the dredger, handling of the pipelines, and the placement of the dredged material.

Quality, Safety and Environmental Protection Control

We have established and implemented a unified quality, safety and environmental protection control and management system that govern all projects. The management system specifies the standards to be met in terms of quality, safety and environmental protection control, clarifies the responsibility of various departments and personnel, identifies procedures, materials and other factors that are subject to the control of management, and provides for measures to be undertaken to ensure that various standards are met. We are committed to achieving a high standard of quality in the management and performance of our contract work. We believe we have established a favorable reputation for quality and technical ability.

We have a Safety and Dispatching Department which is responsible for regulating labor, hygiene and safety conditions, and monitoring compliance with statutory environmental regulations relating to air, water, noise and solid waste pollution. Department managers focus on applying safety and anti-pollution measures, as well as regular internal safety and environmental inspections, at all stages of the operational process to minimize the possibility of work-related accidents and injuries, occupational illness and environmental contamination. Our general contractor customers also monitor the safety of workers and environmental impact of our work.  It is our policy and practice to provide safety education to employees and safety standards have been established in connection with matters such as purchasing, installing and operating new equipment, constructing new facilities and improving existing facilities.

We continuously seek to develop new technology and operational know-how to improve safety conditions and to protect the environment. Management believes that our safety control systems, environmental protection systems and facilities are adequate to comply with applicable PRC national and local regulations.

Intellectual Property

We have no intellectual property.

Administration of Qualifications
 
Responsible Regulatory Authorities
 
Under the provisions of the Port Law of the PRC (the ‘‘Port Law’’), which took effect on January 1, 2004, and Construction Law of the PRC (the ‘‘Construction Law’’), which took effect on March 1, 1998, and other relevant laws and regulations, an enterprise engaged in construction, reconnaissance, design and supervision activities for water transport and other construction engineering works may only enter into those contracts for which it is qualified. The Ministry of Construction and the provincial level administrative authorities responsible for construction works oversee issues relating to the issuance and application of contractor qualifications. The MOTRAN and the provincial-level administrative authorities are responsible for communications to coordinate with the Ministry of Construction and provincial-level administrative authorities are responsible for administration and enforcement of qualification requirements for construction performed in their respective jurisdictions.
 
Qualification Categories for Construction Enterprises
 
Qualification of construction enterprises can be divided into three categories: main contractors, professional services contractors and labor services sub-contractors.  We currently function as a qualified professional service contractor.
 
 
·
A main contractor is permitted to contract for the overall work entailed in a project. A main contractor can perform all works that are contracted for itself, or subcontract non-core construction works or labor services to qualified professional services contractors or qualified labor services sub-contractors.
 
 
30

 
 
 
·
A qualified professional service contractor may enter into a contract to provide professional services subcontracted out by a main contractor, or by the Ministry of Construction under relevant provisions. Under such contracts, a professional services contractor may undertake all of the contracted work by itself, or subcontract out the labor services to qualified labor services sub-contractors.
 
 
·
A qualified labor services sub-contractor may enter into a contract to provide labor services contracted out by a main contractor or a professional services contractor.
 
Supervision of Quality
 
Under the Regulations on the Quality Management of Construction Projects issued by the State Council which took effect on January 30, 2000, sponsoring enterprises, reconnaissance firms, design firms, construction enterprises and project supervisory enterprises will all be responsible for the quality of construction projects. For complex construction projects that are governed by a main contract, the general contractor is responsible for the quality of the whole construction project and, where it subcontracts part of the project work, the subcontractors will be jointly and severally responsible for the quality of the construction work. Contracting parties should present quality guarantees and maintenance certificates to the sponsoring enterprises when tendering the project completion report to the sponsoring enterprises.
 
Administration of Acceptance and Inspection for Completion
 
Pursuant to the Measures for Acceptance and Inspection for the Completion of Port Projects which took effect on June 1, 2005, and the Measures for Acceptance and Inspection for the Completion (Delivery) of Highway Projects which took effect on October 1, 2004, upon completion of a port or highway project, the project will be put into operation only after acceptance and inspection by the relevant communications authorities.
 
In accordance with the Provisional Measures for Administration of Acceptance, Inspection and Filing of Completion of Building Construction Projects and Municipal Infrastructure Projects promulgated by the Ministry of Construction on April 7, 2000, the records of inspection and acceptance for building construction projects and municipal infrastructure projects at completion must be filed with the administrative construction authorities by the sponsoring enterprises.
 
Environment protection rules and regulations
 
The Environmental Protection Law of the PRC (the ‘‘Environmental Protection Law’’), which took effect on December 26, 1989, and the Marine Environmental Protection Law (the ‘‘Marine Environmental Protection Law’’) of the PRC, which took effect on April 1, 2000, provide that the State Environmental Protection Administration and the State Oceanic Administration oversee land and ocean environmental protection.
 
Pursuant to the Environmental Protection Law, the State Environmental Protection Administration sets the national discharge standards for pollutants. The government of provinces, autonomous regions and directly administered municipalities may issue local standards that are stricter than the national standards on the pollutants which are covered by the State standards. As to the pollutants which are not covered by the State standards, the government of provinces, autonomous regions and directly administered municipalities may issue local standards.  An entity discharging pollutants in a region that has local standards must comply with the local standard for the discharge of pollutants. Entities discharging pollutants must report and register with the environmental protection authorities. Entities discharging pollutants in excess of the standards must pay a charge for the excessive discharge and assume responsibility for the remediation of the pollution.
 
 
31

 
 
The Marine Environmental Protection Law prohibits the discharge of certain pollutants into the sea under the jurisdiction of the PRC. All entities and individuals practicing direct discharge of pollutants into the sea shall, in accordance with the State regulations, pay pollutant discharging fees. Those who dump waste shall, in accordance with the State regulations, pay dumping fees.
 
Work safety rules and regulations
 
According to the Work Safety Law of the PRC that took effect on November 1, 2002 (the ‘‘Work Safety Law’’), the State Administration of Work Safety of the PRC is in charge of the overall administration of work safety nationwide. The Ministry of Construction and the MOTRAN are also responsible for the administration of work safety of the relevant industries.
 
The Work Safety Law provides that a production entity must meet the state’s legal standard or industrial standard on work safety and provide work conditions set out in relevant laws, administrative rules and State or industry standards. An entity that cannot provide required work conditions may not engage in production activities. The designers and the design firms for the safety facilities of a construction project are liable for their designs. A production entity must install prominent warning signs at relevant dangerous operation sites, facilities and equipment.
 
According to the Regulations on Licenses for Work Safety promulgated by the State Council that took effect on January 13, 2004, a construction entity with no License for Work Safety should not engage in construction activities.
 
According to the Regulations on Administration of Work Safety of Construction Projects promulgated by the State Council that took effect on February 1, 2004, an entity responsible for the work safety of a construction project will assume the liabilities of the work safety of the construction project. In the case of a project covered by a main contract, the main contractor will be liable for the general work safety of the construction site, and assume joint and several obligations for the sub-contracted portions of the project together with the sub-contractors. An entity in the construction industry must purchase accidental injury insurance for the workers engaged in dangerous works on the construction site for injuries suffered in work-related accidents, and the insurance premium will be paid by such entity. In the case of a construction work covered by a general contract, the insurance premium will be paid by the general contractor. The period covered by the insurance policies should commence on the starting date of the construction project and terminate on the date of the acceptance and inspection upon the completion of the project.
 
According to the Safety Administration Regulation on Above-water and Under-water Construction Works and Navigation promulgated by the MOTRAN that took effect on January 1, 2000, an entity engaged in above-water or under-water construction work must apply to the local maritime affairs authorities for inspection of safe navigation and construction, and may not commence any construction works until it has obtained the permit for above-water or under-water construction work upon inspection.
 
Our operations are subject to numerous laws, regulations, rules and specifications of the PRC relating to various aspects of the specialized work we perform.  According to the requirements of applicable PRC laws and regulations, companies engaged in navigation construction projects must meet certain criteria to obtain designated levels of professional qualification. Fujian Service obtained the Level-III qualification for navigation projects professional contractor (the “Level-III Qualification”) on August 23, 2010..This allows us to apply for a construction work safety certificate and we intend to do so as soon as practicable.

Fujian Wanggang was established on June 12, 2010 as a registered wholly foreign-owned enterprise.  Fujian WangGang’s business license was issued on June 12, 2010 by the Fujian Province Industry and Commerce Administration, and it expires on June 6, 2060. The scope of Fujian WangGang’s business license includes port dredging and navigation channel dredging and permits it to own up to a 50% interest in Fujian Service without restricting the current scope of activities of Fujian Service.
 
Annual Inspection
 
In accordance with relevant PRC laws, all types of enterprises incorporated under the PRC laws are required to conduct annual inspections with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of PRC or its local branches. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises are also subject to annual inspections conducted by PRC government authorities. In order to reduce enterprises’ burden of submitting inspection documentation to different government authorities, the Measures on Implementing Joint Annual Inspection issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce together with other six ministries in 1998 stipulated that foreign-invested enterprises shall participate in a joint annual inspection jointly conducted by all relevant PRC government authorities. Fujian Service, as a foreign-invested enterprise, has participated and passed all such annual inspections since its establishment in January 2008.
 
Employment laws
 
We are subject to laws and regulations governing our relationship with our employees, including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, work permits and travel restrictions.  These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance. Fujian Service has been issued, and Fujian Wanggang is currently in the process of application for, the statistic registration certificate and social insurance registration certificate.
 
China’s National Labor Law, which became effective on January 1, 1995, and China’s National Labor Contract Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, permit workers in both state and private enterprises in the PRC to bargain collectively. The National Labor Law and the National Labor Contract Law provide for collective contracts to be developed through collaboration between the labor union (or worker representatives in the absence of a union) and management that specify such matters as working conditions, wage scales, and hours of work. The laws also permit workers and employers in all types of enterprises to sign individual contracts, which are to be drawn up in accordance with the collective contract.
 
Foreign Investment in PRC Operating Companies
 
The Foreign Investment Industrial Catalogue jointly issued by the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, and the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, in 2007 classified various industries/businesses into three different categories: (i) encouraged for foreign investment; (ii) restricted to foreign investment; and (iii) prohibited from foreign investment. According to The Guiding the Direction of Foreign Investment Provisions, issued by the State Council, for any industry/business not covered by any of these three categories, they will be deemed industries/businesses permitted to have foreign investment. Except for those expressly provided restrictions, encouraged and permitted industries/businesses are usually 100% open to foreign investment and ownership While foreign ownership of Fujian Service’s business is permitted without limitation, having greater than 50% foreign ownership would prevent Fujian Service’s vessels from being registered as PRC vessels, as described further immediately below.   

 
33

 
 
Regulations Related to the Ship Nationality Registration.
 
The PRC Ship Registration Regulation, effective as of January 1, 1995, provides that ships owned by enterprises with legal person status established under the PRC laws and whose principal places of business are located within the territory thereof shall not be registered as being of Chinese nationality if the proportion of registered capital contributed into such enterprise by Chinese investors is less than 50%. According to the requirements of the Rules of PRC Governing Vessels of Foreign Nationality, effective as of September 18, 1979 and other applicable rules and regulations, foreign vessels should obtain applicable permission by PRC administrative authorities for port entry, navigation and exit in PRC inland waterways and territorial seas.  Consequently, in the event that foreign investment in Fujian Service increased to more than 50%, the ships owned by Fujian Service could not be registered as Chinese vessels, which would make it more difficult for the vessels to navigate PRC ports and inland waterways, which would adversely affect the business of Fujian Service.
 
Regulations Related to Foreign–Invested Construction Enterprises

The PRC Regulations on Administration of Foreign–Invested Construction Enterprises (the “RAFCE”) provides that wholly foreign-owned construction enterprises may only undertake certain types of construction projects prescribed by the RAFCE within the scope of their qualifications. According to such stipulations Fujian Service’s business operation will be adversely affected if its foreign-owned equity is increased to seventy-five percent (75%), although Fujian Service is not adversely affected by these regulations based on its current ownership structure.

Company Overview

China Dredging is a BVI holding company that conducts all of its operations through its PRC-based indirect subsidiary Fujian Service, a privately-owned dredging company that engages in capital dredging, maintenance dredging and reclamation dredging businesses in the PRC.  Fujian Service participates in dredging activities as a subcontractor to large general contractors, since dredging projects are typically presented as large scale combined projects that cover port construction, cofferdam, and other fields of work in which the Company does not engage. These general contractors have very strict evaluation procedures based on a number of parameters including the general contractors’ evaluation of its previous experience with that subcontractor, as well as the general contractors’ preference to maintain long and close relationships with reliable subcontractors. General contractors may prefer to subcontract aspects of dredging projects that require highly specialized knowledge and equipment, and therefore are not typically cost-effective for the general contractor to consolidate into its primary services. Accordingly, in light of increased demand for dredging services related to reclamation, maintenance and environmental protection, the Company believes that all of its general contractors intend to increase the amount of related subcontracted work.

Fujian Service was formed on January 8, 2008 as Fujian Xing Gang Shipping Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Shipping”). In June 2009Fujian Shipping was renamed Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Service”). On May 20, 2010 Fujian Service was acquired by Wonder Dredging Engineering Limited Liability Company (“Wonder Dredging”). On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang Dredging Construction Co., Ltd. (“Fujian WangGang”) entered into an equity investment agreement with Fujian Service pursuant to which it invested $23,602,460 in Fujian Service and for which it received a 50% equity interest in Fujian Service.   And on June 30, 2010, Fujian WangGang entered into a series of variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Fujian Service, Wonder Dredging and the shareholders of Wonder Dredging to ensure Fujian WangGang’s voting and operational control over Fujian Service and accrual of 100% economic benefit of Fujian Service in Fujian WangGang.  Fujian Service is considered a predecessor company.

In 2008, the Company’s first year of operations, the Company was mainly engaged in capital and maintenance dredging. In 2009, it expanded the scope of its dredging projects to reclamation dredging, and also expanded its activities beyond Guangdong Province to other coastal areas of China. The Company has developed a close cooperative relationship with China Communications and Changjiang Waterway, as well as other state-owned dredging companies. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had successfully completed 27 projects, including harbor dredging and reclamation of Tangshan Caofeidian Port and the public shoreline of Dalian Changxing Island Coastal Industrial Zone, reclamation and bank protection of the Fangchenggang Steel Terminal, capital dredging of Zhanjiang Baoman Container Port I, maintenance dredging of Guohua Taidian Coal Port and the Shenzhen Dachan Port and other projects.

Factors and Trends Affecting our Results of Operations

Two primary factors affect the level of our revenue:  availability of sub-contract opportunities and capacity of our dredging fleet to undertake contracts.  Since inception, we have had more dredging work contracted than we could immediately perform.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company operated a modern fleet comprised of nine dredgers.   From early 2008 through May 2010, the Company operated five dredgers, including one 3,500 m³/h trailing suction hopper dredger, four cutter suction dredgers with one of 3,500 m³/h, two of 2,500 m³/h and one of 2,000 m³/h.  In June 2010, the Company leased four more dredgers, including one 7,000 m³/h, one 6,500 m³/h trailing suction hopper dredger, one 2,500 m³/h cutter suction dredger and one 3,800 m³/h cutter suction dredger, expanding its fleet to nine dredgers, which management believes will strengthen the Company’s position as the leading privately-owned dredging subcontractor in the P.R.C. The Company completed 39.77 and 51.97 million m3 dredging volume, respectively, in 2008 and 2009, a 30.7% growth rate.

Other factors that affect our operating results are the consistency and efficiency with which we operate our dredging vessels (including the effect of downtime for maintenance or repositioning dredgers to perform contracted work), the cost of consumable and maintenance parts and components and the cost of dredging vessels and related equipment.  We strive to keep our vessels in operation 7-days per week, 24 hours per day (the theoretical maximum) but cannot attain that level because of maintenance requirements and other constraints.  We estimate that our utilization of dredging vessels approaches 70% of the theoretical maximum, and we believe that this represents full utilization of our fleet.   Based on this assessment, our dredging fleet has been fully utilized since the inception of Fujian Service and remains at full utilization.  Therefore, the addition of new vessels to the fleet will be required to grow our revenue and profitability, notwithstanding the contract backlog we have.

The procurement of dredging vessels requires considerable capital or the availability of vessels for lease.   We added four leased dredgers in June 2010 and are seeking additional vessels for lease but have not entered into any contracts for future leases as of the date hereof.  The availability of additional vessels for lease is limited and there is considerable lead time associated purchasing a dredging vessel, so the pace of our growth cannot be predicted with certainty.  If we lease vessels instead of purchasing them, the lease cost reflected in our operating income is typically higher than the cost of depreciation on purchased vessels and so the method we use to procure vessels can have a material affect on our operating results and profitability.

Because contracts begun in one fiscal year or reporting period, are typically completed in a subsequent reporting period or fiscal year, the revenue recognized in a particular year or period is not, by itself, the best indicator that the Group’s business is expanding. Normally the size of project backlog should also be considered. As historically reported by the Group, Project backlog represents the amount of unrealized revenue to be earned from the dredging sub-contracts that have been awarded. By considering the revenue realized during a fiscal year (or other reporting period) and the project backlog in existence as of the end of that period, the potential rate of growth in the Group’s business can be better understood, since backlog represents contractual amounts that are expected to be converted to realized revenue once committed  contracts are fully performed.  We only recently began to track this important metric and to formalize our contractual relationships in a manner that would permit backlog tracking, so the availability of trend information is limited.  Nevertheless, as shown in the table below, the backlog has been growing steadily since reporting became possible:

Segment Information/Business Cycle
Since the inception of Fujian Service, the Group has operated in only one line of business (sub-contract dredging) and has operated in only one jurisdiction (the P.R.C.). Accordingly no geographic or segment information is presented.

Based on the contracts performed over its history and in the backlog, the Group believes that its operations and business cycle are not seasonal or subject to major fluctuations over time.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 for the Group

During the first six months of 2009 the Group operated 5 dredgers on a fully utilized basis.  The following table presents the Group’s operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of the Company compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 for Fujian Service

While the company’s business prospects are solid and growing, the 17-fold growth in backlog during the six months from December 31, 2010 through June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to the formalization of contracts that permit reporting of firm backlog statistics.  To a lesser degree it reflects the Company’s efforts to increase the level of forward contract commitments in anticipation of adding to four vessels to its dredging fleet in the second half of 2010.

Revenue

Contract revenue increased by $5,156,180, or 12.63%, to $45,981,433 for the six months ended on June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. The primary reason for this increase was the full utilization of five dredgers during the entire period and the continuation into 2010 of four projects unfinished at the end of 2009.  The carryover of projects permitted the Group to operate with less downtime than it experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Total construction volume increased by 3,676,878 cubic meters, from 25,395,885 cubic meters for the first six months of 2009 to 29,072,763 cubic meters in the same period of 2010.

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the Group was $25,591,987 for the six months ended on June 30, 2010, a $3,596,749 increase compared to the same period of 2009 as a result of increased revenue.  The increased construction unit price increased the gross profit margin from 53.88% for six months ended on June 30 of 2009 to 55.66% for the same period of 2010.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expense includes business and other revenue-linked tax expense.  For the categories of service the Group provides, the business tax can range up to approximately 3%, depending on local project concessions.  The increase in general administrative expense of $1,143,197 from $1,224,771 for the six months ended on June 30, 2009 to $2,367,968 for the same period of 2010 reflected an increase in revenue-linked tax of $783,786 from $1,023,964 to $1,807,750 for the first six months of 2009 and 2010 respectively.  $318,584 of the remaining increase in general and administrative expense of $359,411 was attributable to one-time formation and restructuring costs of the Group during the first six months of 2010.  The balance, $40,827, reflected increased costs of Fujian Service associated with its growth and development.

Operating Income

The $2,453,552, or 11.81% increase in operating income to $23,224,019 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $20,770,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to a rise in total revenue and gross profit. The increase in operating income was partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses.

Other Income

Interest income increased $32,089 from $12,638 for the six months ended on June 30, 2009 to $44,727 for the same period of 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher average cash balance in 2010, which resulted in higher interest income from demand deposit.

 
38

 

Interest expense increased to $442,827 for the six months ended on June 30, 2010 compared to $395,337 for the same period ended on June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the higher average bank loan balances used to finance equipment purchases.

Income Tax
 
Income tax expense increased by $684,108, or 13.41%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to the increase in taxable income. The applicable income tax rate was 25%, which was effective on January 1, 2008 in the PRC.

Net Income

Due primarily to the increase in contract revenue and the stable operating income margin as a whole, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $1,754,131, or 11.47%, to $17,041,666, compared to $15,287,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Revenue

Fujian Service’s contract revenue increased 47.46% to $80,333,891 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the period from January 8, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008. This was due primarily to an increase in average fleet size in 2009 as compared with 2008.  Fujian Service started 2008 operations with one dredger and did not add its 5th dredger until June 2008.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit increased from $29,056,044 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $41,618,401 for the same period of 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in total revenue. However, gross profit margin declined from 53.33% in 2008 to 51.81% in 2009 due to increase of variable cost. In particular, the costs of consumable and maintenance components increased more sharply than other costs, as shown below:

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expense is comprised of operating taxes and fees, salaries and benefits, business insurance and other daily expenses. Revenue-linked taxes and fees include primarily business tax, city maintenance and educational fees. Salaries and benefits include salaries and allowances, staff welfare for education, staff social welfare insurance and health insurance. Daily operation expenses include depreciation of office equipment, rent, travel and others. About 85% of general and administrative expense came from operating tax expenses.

General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased from 3.95% in 2008 to 3.15% in 2009. Approximately 74% of the $378,557 year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses was related to increases in revenue-linked taxes and 22% was related to increased insurance costs associated with the larger average fleet size for the 2009 as compared with 2008.

Operating Income

Operating income increased from $26,903,469 in 2008 to $39,087,269, representing 45.29% year-on-year growth, which was due primarily to an increase in total revenue and gross profit associated with operating a larger average fleet during 2009  The increase in operating income was partially offset by the slight increase in the cost of revenue.

Other Income

For the year ended December 31, 2009, interest income was $29,833, a decrease of $13,339, compared to $43,172 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was due to the lower average cash balance in the 2009 period, which in turn resulted in lower interest income.

Interest expense increased from $179,504 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $755,853 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a loan of approximately $8.79 million that was funded in October 2008 and a second loan of approximately $3.37 million that was funded in February 2009 and that together were outstanding for much of 2009.

Income Tax

Income tax expense increased $2,899,906, or 43.30% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to the increase of taxable income. The Company’s provision for income tax with respect to PRC operations is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the estimated assessable profits for the year based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. The standard applicable tax rate is 25% which was effective on January 1, 2008.

Net income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $28,764,598, an increase of $8,694,206, or 43.32%, compared to $20,070,392 for the same period in 2008. This increase was attributable to the significant growth in total revenue and operating income.

The $15,052,990 of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended on June 30, 2010 consisted primarily of net income of $17,041,666 plus depreciation of $2,497,401, together with increases of income tax payable of $1,355,304 and accrued liabilities of $714,313. This favorable cash flow was more than offset by  the use of cash to fund reductions inaccounts payable $784,746, an increase in inventories of $756,912, and most, significantly, an increase in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings of $6,582,645 for projects in progress.The Company had accumulated unbilled costs and estimated earnings from eight uncompleted projects as of June 30, 2010, compared to only two such projects as of June 30, 2009, which resulted in the significant increase of cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings in excess of billings for the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period of 2010.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Restricted cash represents amounts on deposit with the owners of dredgers leased by the Company. Such amounts will be returned to the Company when the corresponding leases end.  Investing activities outflow was $17,716,478 in the six months ended June 30, 2010,  consisted primarily of an increase of $17,392,834 in restricted cash, deposited as a rental guarantee for four newly rented dredgers intended to be put into service in the second quarter of 2010.

On May 20, 2009, the Company signed a contract to buy a dredger valued at $29.4 million and paid $2,211,932 on June 2, 2009 as a deposit.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $4,184,152 for the first six months ended June 30, 2010, from secured bank loans.   This compares with a $3,368,976 from loans with banks in February 2009.

The $30,952,939 of cash provided by operating activities for the year ended 2009 consisted primarily of net income of $28,764,598 plus depreciation of $4,952,236, plus increases in accrued liabilities of $55,179, These contributions to cash flow were partially offset by the increases in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings of $2,210,343, inventories of $429,018 and income tax payable of $179,402.

The $26,096,112 of cash provided by operating activities for the year ended 2008 consisted primarily of net income of $20,070,392 plus depreciation of $3,686,744, increases in accrued liabilities of $152,067 and income tax payable of $2,186,909.

The primary drivers of the operating cash flows in the year ended 2009 compared to the year ended 2008 were the increase in net income, depreciation and cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the balance of cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts was $2,211,411 and zero respectively. As all the contracts of 2008 have been completed and all the money has been received at the end of the year, there were no receivables in 2008.

The increase in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings was principally due to the increased number of contracts in progress, improved collection procedures, the nature and type of projects and the general market environment. As those customers are China state-owned companies and there are no credit terms, no provision or allowance for doubtful accounts was provided as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

There was a $429,018 increase of the ending balance of inventory in 2009 compared to 2008. Inventories consist of consumable parts which are used for dredging projects. As the company was newly established in 2008 and all the projects had been completed in 2008, no inventory was retained at year-end 2008.

There was a $311 increase in other receivables which mainly represents social insurance prepaid for employees by the Fujian Service.  Such prepayments are recovered by direct deduction from salaries and wages and are provided free of interest. As the employee welfare program was only established in 2009, there were no such receivables in 2008.

On May 20, 2009, Fujian Service signed a contract to buy a dredger valued at $29.4 million. $2,197,096 was paid on June 2, 2009 as a deposit. The balance of the payment on the dredger, amounting to $27,098,286, is due in the twelve months following delivery of the dredger, which is expected before May 31, 2012.

Restricted cash represents amounts on deposit with the owners of dredgers leased by the Company. Such amounts will be returned to the Fujian Service when the corresponding leases end.  In 2008, the Fujian Service entered into an office rental agreement from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009 and a dredger hiring agreement from June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2011, the restricted cash increased by $8,291,156, which represents an investing cash outflow. As there was no additional rental agreement signed in 2009, there is no change to this account.

In 2008, Fujian Service bought three dredgers and some other office equipment, such as computers and printers. The total value of the investments was $51,627,296, $17,859,098 of which remained unpaid on December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2010 we had cash of $25,388,638, an increase of approximately $2,045,169 from December 31, 2009.  Our current assets totaled $61,396,466 as of June 30, 2010 while our current liabilities totaled $11,251,233.  As of June 30, 2010, our short-term loan balance was $4,423,865.

On October 29, 2010 we completed the Offering and received net proceeds of 19,821,075, substantially enhancing our cash balance and liquidity position.  Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement for the Offering we have the latitude to accept up to $53.1 million of additional funding on the same terms prior to December 28, 2010 if there is interest from investors in participating.  There is no assurance that any such additional funding under the Offering will be received by the Company.  Nevertheless, we believe that our currently available working capital will be sufficient to maintain our operations at the current level and for at least the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”).

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes contract revenues under the percentage-of-completion method to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of contracts, the stage of completion is measured by reference to (a) the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs; (b) the amount of work certified by site engineer; or (c) completion of physical proportion of the contract work. The difference between amounts billed and recognized as revenue is reflected in the balance sheet as either contract revenues in excess of billings or billings in excess of contract revenues. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which they are identified. In the event that contract revenue cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

Other comprehensive income

The Company adopts ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

As of June 30, 2010, we had pledged one of our dredgers, Xinggangjun #6, to secure a $7.9 million credit facility granted to a related party, Fujian Province Pingtan County Ocean Fishery Holdings Limited. Principal and interest on the loan is due in full by September 1, 2010. The related company is indirectly under control of Fuzhou Honglong Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd., which is controlled by Ping Lin, the daughter-in-law of Panxing Zhuo and sister of Qin Lin, the collective owners of Wonder Dredging Engineering LLC, a PRC company that holds a 50% interest in Fujian Service. The loan underlying the pledge was repaid in full on August 24, 2010 and the pledge was terminated on August 30, 2010.

The three dredgers owned by the Group were pledged as collateral its bank loans.

D.
Employees

As of June 30, 2010, the Company utilized 296 people in its day-to-day operations, of which 78 persons are directly employed by the Company, 175 persons are hired by owners of the six leased vessels and 43 persons were supplied by a labor service company.

Approximately 28 crew members are staffed on each dredger, with one captain, three vice captains, four engineers, nine machinists, ten sailors and one cook. The Company’s policy is to appoint employees (as opposed to outsourced staff) to important positions in its three Company-owned dredgers, such as captain and chief engineer. The Company believes that this enables it to build an effective personnel training system and establish a professional team.

We generally sign engagement contracts of five years with our employees working on our vessels.  These agreements are at competitive salaries and generally provide for social and medical insurance.  We believe that the use of long-term employment contracts helps to maintain a stable work force. In accordance with applicable regulations, the insurance encompasses pension contributions and medical, unemployment, maternity and personal injury insurance. The amount of contributions is based on the specified percentages of a particular employee’s aggregate salary as provided for by relevant PRC law.

The crew for our six leased dredgers are hired by the dredger owners and the labor costs are included in the vessel lease contracts. As of June 30, 2010, a total of 175 crew members worked on the leased dredgers.  Welfare and benefit payments for the staff are paid by the lessors. The labor supply contracts for the leased dredgers coincide with the termination of the respective boat leases. We pay a fixed quarterly payment to each  lessor, as shown in the table below.

We also outsource labor from one labor supply company to meet our changing requirements for personnel. As of June 30, 2010, 43 crew members were outsourced under three agreements (one for each of dredgers #66, #3 and #6), for which the total monthly payments were approximately US$34,000 per month during 2010. Welfare and benefit payments for such personnel are covered by the company supplying the laborers.

We have not experienced any significant labor disputes and we maintain satisfactory relationships with our employees. We invest in continuing education and training programs for staff with a view to constantly upgrading their skills and knowledge. Individual employment contracts with employees to cover matters such as wages, employee benefits, training programs, safety and sanitary conditions in the workplace, confidentiality of Company information and grounds for termination.

Related Party Transactions

On January 1, 2008, we entered into an office lease with Ping Lin, a relative of one of the owners, Qing Lin, which expired December 31, 2009. This agreement was renewed and extended from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015. Annual lease payments to Ping Lin were $8,872 in 2009 and $8,738 in 2008.

In May 2008 we entered into two three-year agreements with Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., a related party, to lease a dredger and crew. In April 2010 the dredger leasing agreement was extended through May 31, 2016. In May 2010 the crew leasing agreement was extended to May 31, 2016. Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., which owned 70% of Fujian Service from September 2009 to March 2010, is owned by Fangjie Gu, our Chief Operating Officer and Xiuzhen Lin, the wife of Qing Lin. Lease payments on the dredger for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,024,845 and $588,792, respectively. Payments for the crew were for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 $527,063 and $302,807, respectively.

In September 2008 and February 2010 we entered into loan agreements which aggregate approximately $6 million.  These loans are secured by one of the our dredgers, Xinggangjun 66.  One of these loans is guaranteed by Xinrong Zhuo, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the son of Zhuo Panxing (an owner of Wonder Dredging). The other loan is guaranteed by Xinrong Zhuo and Qing Lin (the other owner of Wonder Dredging). There are no restrictive financial covenants associated with the long-term loans.  The loans are all non-recourse to us.
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had pledged one of our dredgers, Xinggangjun #6, to secure a RMB 54 million (approximately $7.9 million) credit facility granted to a related party, Fujian Province Pingtan County Ocean Fishery Holdings Limited. Principal and interest on the loan is due in full by September 1, 2010. The related company is indirectly under control of Fuzhou Honglong Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd., which is controlled by Ping Lin, the daughter-in-law of Panxing Zhuo and sister of Qing Lin, the collective owners of Wonder Dredging Engineering LLC, a PRC company that holds a 50% interest in Fujian Service. The loan underlying the pledge was repaid in full on August 24, 2010 and the pledge was terminated on August 30, 2010.

A.
Share Capital

Status of Outstanding Ordinary Shares.  As of October 29, 2010, we had a total of 225,000,000 ordinary shares authorized, no par value per share, of which 52,677,323 ordinary shares were issued, fully paid and outstanding.

Following our formation April 14, 2010 (inception) we issued 100 ordinary shares to three shareholders.  On May 26, 2010 we issued an additional 49,900 ordinary shares to the three founding shareholders and four new shareholders.  On October 25, 2010 we effected a share redesignation pursuant to which our then-outstanding ordinary shares were changed from $1.00 par value to no par value and increased to 52,177,323 shares which were allocated ratably among the then-existing shareholders, except to the extent that such shareholders would have been entitled to receive fractional shares.  No fractional shares were issued.  On October 29 we issued 500,000 ordinary shares to Chardan Acquisition Corp. pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
Description of Preferred Shares
 
We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares, no par value per share (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares have no right to vote on any Resolution of Members.  As of October 29, 2010 there were 4,371,000 Preferred Shares issued, fully paid, and outstanding. No Preferred Shares were issued or outstanding prior to the October 2010 Private Placement.

Upon (i) registration of the ordinary shares underlying the Preferred Shares for resale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) being declared effective by the SEC (“Registration”) or such ordinary shares being freely tradable in the US pursuant to any available exemption, and (ii) listing of the ordinary shares underlying the Preferred Shares on a U.S. national securities exchange (or on any other recognized international exchange approved by a majority of the holders of the Preferred Shares, the Preferred Shares shall automatically covert to ordinary shares (the “Automatic Conversion”) at a ratio of one to one. Each Preferred Share is convertible by the holder into one ordinary share, subject to proportional adjustment for share splits, divisions, share dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions, at any time prior to an Automatic Conversion.

 
52

 

Each Preferred Share has the right to a preference over the holders of ordinary shares in the distribution of any surplus of our assets in the event of any winding up, merger, acquisition or sale of substantially all of our assets in which our shareholders do not own a majority of the issued shares of the surviving entity.
 
If an Automatic Conversion does not occur by the second anniversary of the closing of the October 2010 Private Placement, holders of the Preferred Shares shall have the right to receive a payment equal to 20% of $5.00 per Preferred Share. If such payment is due and remains unpaid at the time of an Automatic Conversion, the holders may choose to receive this payment in ordinary shares, in lieu of cash, at a purchase price of $5.00 per share.
 
As long as more than 2,500,000 Preferred Shares remain issued and outstanding, holders of the Preferred Shares shall have the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis based upon their original respective subscription amounts, in any equity financing of the Company (a) ordinary shares or (b) equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into ordinary shares; except that this right shall not apply to any underwritten public offering of the Company.  Any such purchase by the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be on the same terms and conditions and at the same price such securities are offered to a third party in the financing.
 
In the event of a change in control of the Company, or if we file for bankruptcy, or are judged insolvent, initiate liquidation proceedings or other analogous proceedings (a “Fundamental Change”), holders of the Preferred Shares may elect, at their sole option, to request the redemption of some or all of their Preferred Shares at any time prior to Automatic Conversion.  Subject to applicable law, the holders of the Preferred Shares may request the redemption of some or all of their Preferred Shares at any time after the second and prior to the third anniversary of the initial issuance of Preferred Shares if Automatic Conversion has not occurred.  The Preferred Shares may be redeemed in whole or in part by the Company at its sole option in the event that the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change, provided that the holders of the Preferred Shares are first notified of the Fundamental Change and have not less than seven days to convert their Preferred Shares to ordinary shares.

B.
Memorandum and Articles of Association
 
We are a BVI company and we are governed by the laws of the BVI and by our Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.  The objects for which the Company is established are unrestricted and it has full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended, or any other law of the BVI.  The table below describes selected corporate actions governed by BVI law that are also subject to specific provisions of our Memorandum & Articles of Association and compares how such actions are affected by our Memorandum & Articles of Association.
 
Action
 
BVI Law
 
Our Memorandum & 
Articles of Association
         
Amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association
 
Under BVI law, the board of directors is permitted to have broad authority to amend the memorandum of association, however, the directors shall not have the power to amend the memorandum and articles of association (i) to restrict the rights or powers of the members to amend the memorandum and articles of association, (ii) to change the percentage of members required to pass a resolution to amend the memorandum and articles of association or (c) in circumstances where the memorandum or articles cannot be amended by the shareholders.
 
Our Memorandum of Association follows the BVI law.
 
 
53

 

Notice of the Annual Meeting
 
BVI law provides that subject to the requirement in the memorandum and articles of association to give longer notice, not less than seven days notice of a meeting should be given.
 
Our Articles of Association require notice not less than 10 days prior to a meeting of shareholders.
         
Alternate Directors
 
BVI law allows a director to appoint an alternate who has the authority to vote in place of the appointed director at a meeting of directors.
 
Our Memorandum and Articles are silent on this point. Consequently, the BVI law position applies.
   
 
   
Written Consent of Directors
 
In the BVI, directors’ consents need only a majority of directors signing to take effect, removing the need for a formal meeting.
 
Our Articles of Association provides  for written consents of directors by a simple majority.
         
Sale of Assets
 
In the BVI, shareholder approval is required when more than 50% (by value) of a company’s assets are being sold outside of the company’s usual course of business.
 
Our Memorandum and Articles are silent on this point. Consequently, the BVI law position applies.
         
Removal of Directors
  
Under BVI law, a director may, subject to the memorandum and articles of association of a company, be removed by a resolution of shareholders. Where permitted by the memorandum and articles of association of the company, a director may be removed by a resolution of directors.
  
Our Memorandum and Articles do not permit shareholders to remove a sitting director upon a written resolution of a majority of the members, whereas our Memorandum and Articles do permit the removal of a sitting director by a resolution of directors.
 
 
54

 
 
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 
The laws of the BVI do not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, provided such person acted honestly and in good faith and except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles do not relieve directors, officers or agents from personal liability arising from the management of the business of the company.  We may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who (i) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company, or (ii) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, provided, however, that such indemnification applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. We are permitted to and intend to obtain director and officer insurance.
 
Defenses Against Hostile Takeovers

The law of the BVI does not prevent companies from adopting a wide range of corporate measures designed to defend a company against hostile takeovers.  While the following discussion summarizes the reasons for, and the operation and effects of, the principal provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association that management has identified as potentially having an anti-takeover effect, it is not intended to be a complete description of all potential anti-takeover effects, and it is qualified by reference to the full texts of our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

In general, our Memorandum and Articles of Association minimize our susceptibility to sudden acquisitions of control that have not been negotiated with and approved by our board of directors. As a result, it may be difficult to remove the incumbent members of the board of directors.  While our Memorandum and Articles of Association would not prohibit an acquisition of control of us or a tender offer for all of our shares they might discourage any tender offer or other attempt to gain control of us in a transaction that is not approved by the board of directors, by making it more difficult for a person or group to obtain control of us in a short time and then impose its will on the remaining shareholders. However, to the extent our Memorandum and Articles of Association successfully discourage the acquisition of control of us or tender offers for all or part of our shares without approval of the board of directors, they may have the effect of preventing an acquisition or tender offer which might be viewed by shareholders to be in their best interests.

Tender offers or other non-open market acquisitions of shares will generally be made at prices above the prevailing market price, if any, of our shares. In addition, acquisitions of shares by persons attempting to acquire control through market purchases may cause the market price of the shares to reach levels that are higher than would otherwise be the case. Anti-takeover provisions may discourage such purchases, particularly those of less than all of our shares, and may thereby deprive shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a temporarily higher price. These provisions may therefore decrease the likelihood that a tender offer will be made, and, if made, will be successful. As a result, the provisions may adversely affect those shareholders who would desire to participate in a tender offer. These provisions may also serve to insulate incumbent management from change and to discourage not only sudden or hostile takeover attempts, but also any attempts to acquire control that are not approved by the board of directors, whether or not shareholders deem such transactions to be in their best interest.

 
55

 

Number of Directors and Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors.  British Virgin Islands law requires that the board of directors of a company consist of one or more directors and that the number of directors shall be set by the company’s Articles of Association, with a minimum of one director. Our Articles of Association provide that the number of directors shall be not less than one and not more than seven, subject to any subsequent amendment to change the number of directors. The power to determine the number of directors is vested in the board of directors. The power to fill vacancies, whether occurring by reason of an increase in the number of directors or by resignation, is vested primarily in the shareholders. Directors may be removed by the shareholders only for cause or without cause on a vote of the members representing a majority of the shares entitled to vote.

Election of Directors.  Under British Virgin Islands law, there is no cumulative voting by shareholders for the election of the directors. The absence of cumulative voting rights effectively means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted at a shareholders meeting may, if they so choose, elect all directors of the Company who are up for election, thus precluding a small group of shareholders from controlling the election of one or more representatives to the board of directors.
 
Advance Notice Requirements for Nomination of Directors and Presentation of New Business at Meetings of Shareholders; Action by Written Consent.  Our Articles of Association provide for advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations for director. Generally, to be timely, notice must be given to the shareholders not less than 10 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Special meetings may be called by our directors as the directors consider necessary or desirable or shall be convened upon the written request of the shareholders entitled to exercise at least 30 percent of the voting rights in respect of the matter of which the meeting is requested.
 
Rights of Minority Shareholders

Under the law of the BVI, the principal protection of minority shareholders is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents of the company, the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of a company conducted in accordance with the general law and the Memorandum and Articles. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, we are obliged to hold an annual general meeting and provide for the election of directors. In addition, the BVI Business Companies Act provides that a shareholder may bring an action against us if he considers that our affairs are being, have been or are likely to be conducted in a manner which is unfairly prejudicial to him.

There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked that are largely dependent on English company law, since the common law of the BVI for BVI companies is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairs by the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and the constituent documents of the company. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions of the company’s memorandum or articles of association, then the courts may grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following: (i) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority, (ii) acts that constitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company, (iii) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote, and (iv) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a special or extraordinary majority of shareholders.

 
56

 

Transfer of Our Securities Upon Death of Holder

Because we are a BVI company, the transfer of the shares of a deceased shareholder will be subject to the relevant provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, which require the executor or administrator of a deceased shareholder to produce, among other things, any documentation which is reasonable evidence of the applicant being entitled to a grant of probate of the deceased's will or grant of letters of administration of the deceased's estate. 

Director Conflicts of Interests

Any of our directors entering into a related party transaction with us must disclose such interest to the board of directors.  However, a director of the Company is not required to make such a disclosure if: (i) the transaction or proposed transaction is between the director and the Company; and (ii) the transaction or proposed transaction is or is to be entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's business and on usual terms and conditions;

A director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may vote on a matter relating to the transaction, attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum and sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction.

C.
Material Contracts

All material contracts entered into other than during the ordinary course of our business and for the two years preceding the date hereof are described elsewhere in this Shell Company Report on Form 20-F or in the information incorporated by reference herein.

D.
Exchange Controls

Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange

Under BVI law, there is no exchange control legislation and accordingly there are no exchange control regulations imposed under BVI law, including foreign exchange controls or restrictions, that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to BVI nonresident holders of our shares.
 
Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is governed by a series of regulations, including the Foreign Currency Administrative Rules (1996), as amended, and the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), as amended. Under these regulations, the Renminbi is freely convertible for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for direct investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC without the prior registration with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) and prior approval by other relevant Chinese government authorities required by the applicable laws and regulations. Pursuant to the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”) may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of the SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. FIEs may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. In addition, foreign exchange transactions for direct investment, loans and investment in securities outside the PRC are still subject to limitations and required approvals from the SAFE.
 
Regulation of FIEs’ Dividend Distributions
 
The principal laws and regulations in the PRC governing distribution of dividends by foreign invested enterprises (“FIEs”) include:

 
57

 
 
(i)
The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1979), as amended, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1983), as amended;

(ii)
The Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1988), as amended, and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1995), as amended;

(iii)
The Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Regulations of Implementation of the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.

Under these regulations, FIEs in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits e(determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations) each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
 
Regulation of a Foreign Currency’s Conversion into RMB and Investment by FIEs
 
On August 29, 2008, the State Administration on Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) issued a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to the Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. The Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance.
 
Fujian WangGang has obtained a foreign exchange registration certificate.

E.
Taxation

Under BVI law as currently in effect, a holder of ordinary shares who is not a resident of the BVI is exempt from BVI income tax on dividends paid with respect to the ordinary shares and all holders of ordinary shares are not liable to the BVI for income tax on gains realized during that year on sale or disposal of such shares.  The BVI does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by a company incorporated in the BVI.
 
There is no tax treaty currently in effect between the US and the BVI or between the PRC and the BVI.  However, the BVI has entered into tax information exchange treaties with the PRC and the US, respectively.

Government Regulations Relating to Taxation
 
On March 16, 2007, the National Peoples’ Congress (the “NPC”), approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “New EIT Law”). The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.

 
58

 

On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law , the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.
 
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises”. Non-resident enterprises refer to enterprises whose controlling departments are not in the PRC but have an institution or place of business in the PRC, or which have no institution or place of business in the PRC but have the gain derived from the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payor acting as the obligatory tax withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. After the proposed share exchange transaction, we will be a BVI holding company and substantially all of our income is derived from dividends we receive from our subsidiaries located in the PRC. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.
 
Such income tax may be exempted or reduced by the State Council of the PRC or pursuant to a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC shareholders reside. For example, the 10% withholding tax is reduced to 5% pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement Between Hong Kong and Mainland China if the beneficial owner in Hong Kong owns more than 25% of the registered capital in a company in the PRC.
 
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in the combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and results of operations.
 
Taxation registration certificates have been issued to both Fujian Service and Fujian WangGang.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
   
Foreign Exchange Risk

Our reporting currency is the Renminbi. Transactions in other currencies are recorded in Renminbi at the rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occur. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are remeasured into Renminbi at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in our statements of operations as a component of current period earnings.

The State Administration on Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, of the PRC, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in China is the Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended, or the “Rules”. Under the Rules, once various procedural requirements are met, Renminbi is convertible for current account transactions, including trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions and dividend payments, but not for capital account transactions, including direct investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC, without prior approval of the SAFE of the PRC, or its local counterparts.

Since July 2005, the Renminbi is no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although currently the Renminbi exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar is restricted to a rise or fall of no more than 0.3% per day and the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, the PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.  As of June 30, 2010, the exchange rate of RMB to $1 was RMB6.7815. On June 19, 2010, the People’s Bank of China announced the removal of the de facto peg. Following this announcement, the Renminbi appreciated from 6.7968 Renminbi per U.S. dollar on June 21, 2010 to 6.7709 Renminbi per U.S. dollar on July 2, 2010.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our PRC operating companies, and their financial performance and position are measured in terms of Renminbi. Our solutions are primarily procured, sold and delivered in the PRC for Renminbi. The majority of our net revenue is denominated in Renminbi. Any devaluation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would consequently have an adverse effect on our financial performance and asset values when measured in terms of U.S. dollars. On the other hand, the appreciation of the Renminbi could make our customers’ products more expensive to purchase because many of our customers are involved in the export of goods, which may have an adverse impact on their sales. A decrease in sales by our customers could have an adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have cash denominated in U.S. dollars amounting to RMB155,257,203 ($22,894,565) and RMB159,365,864 ($23,343,469). Also, from time to time we may have U.S. dollar denominated borrowings. Accordingly, a decoupling of the Renminbi many affect our financial performance in the future.

 
60

 
 
We recognized a foreign currency translation adjustment of approximately RMB8,845,286 ($1,297,172) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 approximately RMB 4,661,309 ($682,256) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We do not currently engage in hedging activities and as such, we may in the future experience economic loss as a result of any foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from variable rate borrowings under the terms of which our future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in our borrowing rates. We do not have any derivative financial instruments and believe our exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risks is not material. Our bank borrowings amounted to approximately $12.4 million as of June 30, 2010. Based on the variable nature of the underlying interest rate, the bank borrowings approximated fair value at that date. Interest-bearing instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Our future interest income may also be lower than expected and is subject to variability due to changes in market interest rates.
 
If there was a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates, the net impact to earnings and cash flows would be approximately $ 123,987 over a one year period. The potential change in cash flows and earning is calculated based on the change in the net interest expense over a one year period due to an immediate 1% change in price. 
 
Inflation

Inflation in the PRC has not materially impacted our results of operations since inception, although an unanticipated increase in inflation could adversely affect our costs and margins

the unaudited consolidated historical financial statements and related notes of the Company at June 30, 2010 and for the period from April 14, 2010 (inception) through June 30, 2010
 
 
-
the audited financial statements of CAC at and for the year ended September 30, 2009, and at September 30, 2008 and for the period from September 26, 2008 (inception), together with the  unaudited financial statements of CAC at and for the nine months ended June 30, 2010;
 
 
-
the audited financial statements of Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co. Ltd. (“Fujian Service”) at and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and at December 31, 2008 and for the period from January 8, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008 and the unaudited audited financial statements of Fujian Service at June 30, 2010 and for the six months then ended.

 
All of the above financial statements are included in this filing on form 20-F on pages F-10 through F-37 (for the Company), F-38 through F-83 for Fujian Service and F-84 through F-102 for CAC.  
 
The Company acquired a 50% interest in Fujian Service on June 29, 2010 and acquired control of and consolidates Fujian Service as of June 30, 2010 in accordance with ASC 810.  The pro forma statements of operations set forth below for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for year-ended December 31, 2009 incorporate information from the unaudited financial statements of Fujian Service for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and from its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as from the unaudited financial statements of the Company.  When we include financial statement results of Fujian Service in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements below we refer to the “Group”.

The Company has adopted ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, and under ASC 805, a company consummating a merger needs to consider a number of factors to determine the acquirer for accounting purposes including which company’s stockholders retain the majority voting interest in a consolidated business, control the Board of Directors of consolidated business and whose senior management dominates the management of the consolidated business.   The Merger resulted in our shareholders of the retaining a majority voting interest in the consolidated business and Company management and its board of directors continuing in the same roles in the consolidated company.  Therefore, we have determined that the Company is the accounting acquirer.  Because CAC did not have any assets with operating substance, the Merger has been accounted for as a reorganization and recapitalization (reverse merger), rather than as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting.

In conjunction with the Merger, the Company conducted the Offering of Convertible Preferred Shares with an initial subscription amount of $21,855,000 million and a maximum subscription amount of $75.0 million.  The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared using two different levels for Offering proceeds received:

 Maximum Offering Assumption:

This presentation assumes that the maximum of $75 million of gross proceeds are received in the Offering; and

 
F-1

 

Initial Offering Assumption:

This presentation assumes that the gross proceeds actually received in the initial closing, amounting to $21,855,000 million, represents the total gross proceeds received in the Offering and that no further closings will occur.

The pro forma balance sheet assumes the Merger and Offering (together the “Transactions”) took place on June 30, 2010.  The pro forma statements of operations assume the Transactions took place on the first day of each of the periods presented.

We are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the Transactions taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the operation results that would have actually been achieved if the Transactions had been consummated as of the beginning of the period indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating results of the combined business.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments are used to derive the pro forma weighted average number of shares and pro forma financial statements presented below:
 
(a)
to contribute shareholders loans and advances into equity in connection with reverse merger.
 
(b)
to record the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company common stock (no par value) to CAC shareholders upon consummation of the Merger, and to eliminate CAC’s equity in connection with the reverse merger;
 
(c)
to record the issuance of 15,000,000 (maximum offering) Class A Preferred shares and the receipt of gross proceeds and to record payment of contingent fees to the placement agent equal to 7% of the Offering amount;
 
(d)
to record the issuance of 4,371,000 (minimum offering) Class A Preferred shares and the receipt of gross proceeds and to record payment of contingent fees to the placement agent equal to 7% of the Offering amount;
 
(e)
to reclassify the retained earnings of CAC in connection with reverse acquisition as the Company will be the continuing entity for accounting purposes;
 
(f)
to record estimated expenses related in connection with transactions;
 
(g)
the pro forma consolidated net income per share was calculated by dividing pro forma combined net income by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding as follows:

The pro forma financial statements should be read giving consideration to the following facts and assumptions:

 
·
The pro forma statements of income from operations for the six months ending June 30, 2010 and for the year ending December 31, 2009 is for the Group (as defined above in the introduction to this section under the heading “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements”)), and thus they include the results of the statements of operations of Fujian Service for the six months ending June 30, 2010 and for the year ending December 31, 2009, respectively.  Refer to the unaudited financial statements of Fujian Service as of and for the six months ending June 30, 2010 and to the audited financial statements of Fujian Service for the year ending December 31, 2009 as well as to Note 2 of the unaudited financial statements of the Company for the source of the figures contained in the pro forma statements of income from operations for the Company.

 
·
The “income per share amounts – basic” in the pro forma statements of income from operations for the year ending December 31, 2009 and for the six months ending June30, 2010 assume that none of the Class A Preferred shares issued or issuable by the Company in the Offering are converted to ordinary shares.

 
·
The “income per share amounts – diluted” in the pro forma statements of income from operations for the year ending December 31, 2009 and for the six months ending June30, 2010 assume that all of the Class A Preferred shares issued or issuable by the Company in the Offering are converted to ordinary shares.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

On April 14, 2010, China Dredging Group Co., Ltd ("the Company") was incorporated  in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") as a limited liability company by the three shareholders, Mars Harvest Co., Ltd. ("Mars"), Venus Seed Co., Ltd. ("Venus") and Saturn Glory Co., Ltd. ("Saturn")(the "Shareholders"), by subscribing to 104,355 ordinary shares. The proportionate ownership percentage of the Company was 90%, 5% and 5% held by Mars, Venus and Saturn, respectively. The principal activity of the Company is to hold its interests in its subsidiaries. The Company, together with its wholly subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs"), of which one of the Company's subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary, (collectively referred as the "Group") is engaged in performing dredging services, specifically capital dredging, maintenance dredging and reclamation dredging throughout mainland China. The Group provides its services directly to its customers in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

On May 26, 2010, the Company was recapitalized by increasing its number of authorized shares, changing its par value and by issuing 52,072,968 shares of common stock to the three founding shareholders, Mars, Venus and Saturn, and four new shareholders (collectively “New Shareholders”), Regent Fill Investment Group Limited ("Regent Fill"), Poying Holdings Limited ("Poying"), Jianliang Yu and Nan Ding. At the time of the recapitalization, the Company had not commenced operations and had no assets.  
 
Pursuant to a unanimous resolution of the Company’s board of directors, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (“M&A”) was amended as of October 25, 2010 to increase the maximum number of authorized shares from 50,000 ordinary shares of one class with a par value of $1.00 each to a maximum 250,000,000 shares of no par value divided into two classes of shares: (i) 225,000,000 ordinary shares and 25,000,000 class A preferred shares. The Company's recapitalization was consummated on October 25, 2010, however, retroactively applied to reflect the recapitalized shares.  Following the recapitalization, the number and percentage of issued shares was distributed among shareholders as follows:

Name
 
No. of ordinary shares
   
%
 
             
Venus Seed Co., Ltd.
    2,608,866       5.00 %
Mars Harvest Co., Ltd.
    46,055,880       88.27 %
Saturn Glory Co., Ltd.
    2,608,866       5.00 %
Regent Fill Investment Group Limited
    271,322       0.52 %

Nan Ding
    225,406       0.43 %
      52,177,323                     100 %

All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of ordinary shares issued and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

The Company's holdings are comprised of China Dredging (HK) Co., Ltd ("China Dredging HK"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (formed on April 26, 2010), Fujian WangGang Dredging Construction Co., Ltd ("Fujian WangGang ") (formed on June 12, 2010), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise of China Dredging HK, and  a 50% controlling interest on Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co., Ltd ("Fujian Service"), an operating company incorporated and operating in PRC. Fujian WangGang acquired a 50% direct ownership interest in Fujian Service on June 29, 2010 whereas the remaining 50% interest in Fujian Service is owned by Wonder Dredging Engineering Limited Liability Company ("Wonder Dredging"). Wonder Dredging was formed on May 10, 2010 by the same shareholders of Fujian Service. Through various agreements (collectively the “VIE Agreements”), Fujian WangGang has obtained irrevocable management control over both Wonder Dredging and Fujian Service. Through these agreements Fujian WangGang 1) receives substantially all of the economic benefits of Fujian Service's ongoing operations through management fees, 2) has the right to purchase the other 50% interest in Fujian Service from Wonder Dredging for no additional consideration and 3) has the right to receive all other assets of Wonder Dredging for no additional consideration.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(IN US DOLLARS)

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (…/Cont’d)

Below is the organization chart in existence as of June 30, 2010:


Both Wonder Dredging and Fujian Service, based on the structure discussed above, are considered to be "variable interest entities" for purposes of consolidating under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, Fujian WangGang has the option to acquire, for no additional consideration, the remaining 50% of the equity of Fujian Service and 100% of the assets of Wonder Dredging. Accordingly, Fujian WangGang is considered to be the primary beneficiary of both.  The balance sheet of Wonder Dredging and Fujian Service are included in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, (the date on which the agreements were effective under which Fujian WangGang acquired management control of the entities and the right to acquire Fujian Service and the assets of Wonder Dredging for no additional consideration.)

Fujian Service, which is the operating entity, was incorporated on January 8, 2008 with Renminbi 200,000,000 ($29,002,371 at June 30, 2010). Fujian Service was originally owned by two individuals, Qing Lin and Panxing Zhuo , each with holding of 91% and 9% of the total ownership, respectively. Qing Lin and Panxing Zhuo are brother in-law and father of the shareholder of Mars.

On May 20, 2010, Qing Lin and Panxing Zhuo sold all of their ownership interests in Fujian Service to Wonder Dredging, which they also owned fully and in the same percentages as their ownership interests in Fujian Service..  Subsequent to this transaction Wonder Dredging owned 100% of Fujian Service and owed a total of $18,019,636 to Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhuo.  These former shareholders of Fujian Service agreed to contribute the full purchase amount receivable to the capital of Wonder Dredging.
 
On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang acquired a 50% ownership interest in Fujian Service from Wonder Dredging by committing to invest, as a capital contribution, $23,602,460 into Fujian Service (Renminbi 158,597,183). This reduced Wonder Dredging's ownership interest in Fujian Service to 50%.

In conjunction with the effectiveness of the VIE Agreements, Wonder Dredging and its shareholders became obligated to contribute to the capital of Fujian WangGang a dividend receivable from Fujian Service together with all retained earnings of Fujian Service of which Wonder Dredging is the beneficiary under the purchase agreement with Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhuo.  Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, an additional amount of $61,307,080, comprising the purchase price for the remaining economic interest in Fujian Service in excess of Fujian WangGang’s capital commitment (after giving effect to exchange rate changes) has been recorded as contributed capital of the Group.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (…/Cont’d)

At the close of business on June 30, 2010, various agreements became effective under which Fujian WangGang irrevocably obtained; 1) management control over all of the business and activities of Fujian Service and Wonder Dredging, 2) a direct right to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Fujian Service through management fees, and 3) the right to acquire 100% of the assets of Wonder Dredging.

The acquisition of Fujian Service on June 29, 2010, has been accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic ("ASC") 805 since Fujian Service, although it can be deemed as a related party, was not under common control. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Fujian Service have been recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, June 29, 2010.  The Company has not recorded any income or expenses from June 29 to June 30, 2010 since it has been determined to be immaterial. Wonder Dredging’s balance sheet has been consolidated since it is deemed to be a VIE under the current standard and pursuant to the agreements which became effective on June 30, 2010.

The above structure is necessary in order to comply with the PRC law and regulations.  According to the "Ordinance of Ship Registration of People's Republic of China" and other relevant regulations, the maximum shareholding by foreign capital in an entity operating in the PRC cannot exceed 50%. Also the operating entity's vessels are not entitled to be registered as Chinese ships if foreign-owners hold more that 50% of the equity interest in the operating entity.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the accounts of the Company, its wholly subsidiaries and the two VIEs; namely Fujian Service and Wonder Dredging.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  (See note 2 below.)

ACQUISITION OF FUJIAN SERVICE

As described in Note 1, the Company acquired a 50% interest in Fujian Service through Fujian WangGang on June 29, 2010 by committing to a capital contribution to Fujian Service in the amount of $23,602,460 (Renminbi 158,597,183).  Additionally, as of June 30, 2010, by virtue of the effectiveness of the structure and VIE Agreementsdescribed in note 1, the Company consolidates 100% of Fujian Service in accordance with ASC 810.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the shareholders of Wonder Dredging agreed to contribute their economic interests in Wonder Dredging as part of the transaction with Fujian WangGang. Accordingly, as of June 29, 2010, the amount of the purchase price in excess of the capital contribution commitment, amounting to $61,307,080 after giving effect to exchange rate changes, has been recorded as contributed capital.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)
Basis of presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results of the operating entity, Fujian Service have not been included in the Group’s financial statements effective from June 29, 2010 since it is deemed immaterial.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  All existing accounting standards are superseded.  All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative.  The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.  Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The adoption of ASC 105 does not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

 
(b)
Use of estimates

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) which requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c)
Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. The period-end rate for June 30, 2010 of Renminbi to one US dollar was 6.7814; average rate for the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010 was 6.8115. The related translation adjustments are reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the stockholder's equity section of the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2010, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $1,308,983. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

The period-end rate for June 30, 2010 of Hong Kong dollar to one US dollar was 7.7866; average rate for the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010 was 7.7808.

 
(d)
Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. Substantially all of the Group's cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality. The Group maintains some of its bank accounts in the PRC.

 
(e)
Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts

Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts due or billable under the terms of contracts with customers. There is no amount related to retainage. The Group anticipates collection of all the outstanding balances within 10 days after completion reports of the contracts are issued. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group's existing receivable. The Group provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables when events or conditions indicate that amounts outstanding are not recoverable.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Based on the Group’s assessment of collectability, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recognized for any of the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010.

 
(f)
Inventories

Inventories mainly consist of consumable parts including pipe, spare parts, and supplies used in the Group's dredging operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted average cost method.

(g)
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Building improvements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

Upon sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
 
Estimated lives
Dredgers
10
Machinery
5
Office equipment
5

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.

 
(h)
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are comprised of property, plant and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, “Property, plant and equipment”, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.

If long-lived assets are to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Based on the Group’s assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2010.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (…/Cont’d)

 
(i)
Fair value measurements

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4 (formerly FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”). This standard emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. This standard provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-5 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”. This ASU provides amendments to ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to address concerns regarding the determination of the fair value of liabilities. Because liabilities are often not “traded”, due to restrictions placed on their transferability, there is typically a very limited amount of trades (if any) from which to draw market participant data. As such, many entities have had to determine the fair value of a liability through the use of a hypothetical transaction. This ASU clarifies the valuation techniques that must be used when the liability subject to the fair value determination is not traded as an asset in an active market. The management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 
(j)
Revenue recognition

The Group generates revenue primarily from dredging services .

The Group recognizes contract revenues under the percentage-of-completion method to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of each contract, the stage of completion is measured by reference to (a) the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs; (b) the amount of work certified by site engineer; or (c) completion of physical proportion of the contract work. The difference between amounts billed and recognized as revenue is reflected in the balance sheet as either contract revenues in excess of billings or billings in excess of contract revenues. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in-progress will be made in the period in which they are identified.  In the event that contract revenue cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. The cost of contract revenue includes consumable stores, dredgers' hire charges, salaries and wages and depreciation of dredgers.

(k)
Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Group adopted ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

 
(l)
Other comprehensive income

The Group has adopted ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”.  This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Other comprehensive income consists of the following for the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010:
 
Net loss
  $ (318,442 )
Other comprehensive income
       
- Foreign currency translation adjustments
    1,308,983  
Total comprehensive income
  $ 990,541  

 
(m)
Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Group records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.

As of June 30, 2010, the Group's management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

(n)
Economic and political risks

The Group's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Group's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Group's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances aboard, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 
(o)
Pension and employee benefits

Full time employees of the Group participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. PRC labor regulations require the Group to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees' salaries. Cost for pension and employee benefits of the Group for the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010 was none.

 
(p)
Segment information

ASC 280 “Segment reporting” establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Group has only one segment, all of the Group's operations and customers are in the PRC and all incomes are derived from the services of dredging. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.

 
(q)
Recently issued accounting standards

We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance within Topic 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”) relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events.  This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in a company’s financial statements. Public entities are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that financial statements are issued. This guidance also provides guidelines in evaluating whether or not events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date should be recognized in the financial statements. This guidance requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Group has adopted this standard as of June 30, 2010. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards (…/Cont’d)

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 (“FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70”), (formerly FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162). FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The ASC does not change GAAP, instead it takes individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into Topics. Contents in each Topic are further organized by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC.” FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and does not have an impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810.10, guidance to change financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This pronouncement clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The guidance requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about a company's involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Group does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. ASU 2009-05 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  Specifically, ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820 (e.g. an income approach or market approach). ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The Group does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement.

Recently issued accounting standards (…/Cont’d)

In December 2009, the FASB issued Consolidations - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with VIEs. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users of financial statements. The Group does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, the laws of which do not require the Company to pay any income taxes or other taxes based on revenue, business activity or assets.  The Company has subsidiaries domiciled and operating in other countries and those entities file separate tax returns in the respective jurisdictions in which they are domiciled or operate.

The Company’s consolidated subsidiary China Dredging (HK) Company Limited is domiciled in Hong Kong and would be subject to statutory profit tax in that jurisdiction of 16.5% if it incurred revenue and profits there.  Two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Fujian Wang Gang and Fujian Service operate in the PRC, where they are subject to a 25% statutory profit tax.  Only Fujian Service had profit during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and its tax expense, calculated at the statutory rate, is provided below, together with a reconciliation of actual tax expense recognized by Fujian Service.  No income tax has been included in the Group's Statement of Income for the period from April 14, 2010 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010 as the amount was deemed immaterial.

A reconciliation of the expected Fujian Service's income tax expense to the actual income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was as follows:

Fujian Service's Income before tax
  $ 23,144,449  
         
Expected PRC income tax expense at statutory tax rate of 25%
  $ 5,786,112  
Effect on exchange rate
    (1,771 )
Actual income tax expense
  $    5,784,341  

The PRC tax system is subject to substantial uncertainties and has been subject to recently enacted changes, the interpretation and enforcement of which are also uncertain. There can be no assurance that changes in PRC tax laws or their interpretation or their application will not subject the Group to substantial PRC taxes in future.

No deferred tax liability has been provided as the amount involved is immaterial. Fujian Service has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax filings and has concluded it has no material liability related to uncertain tax positions.

For the period ended June 30, 2010, there is no unrecognized tax benefit. Management does not anticipate any potential future adjustments in the next twelve months which would result in a material change to its financial tax position. As of June 30, 2010, the Group did not accrue any interest and penalties.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co., Ltd. (the “Company”or “Xing Gang”) formerly known as Fujian Xing Gang Shipping Co., Ltd., is a China-based company that performs dredging services specifically, capital dredging, maintenance dredging and reclamation dredging throughout mainland China.  The Company provides its services directly to its customers in the People's Republic of China (PRC).

The Company was incorporated on January 8, 2008 with total registered capital $8,501,266 (Renminbi 60,000,000). The Company was owned by two individuals, Lin Qing and Lin Ping. Lin Qing contributed cash of $5,950,886 (Renminbi 42,000,000) holding 70% of the total ownership, while Lin Ping contributed cash of $2,550,380 (Renminbi 18,000,000) holding 30% of the total ownership.

On April 14, 2008, Lin Ping sold all of her ownership to her father-in-law, Zhuo Panxing.

On September 21, 2009, the Company's registered capital was increased to $29,002,371 (Renminbi 200,000,000). $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) was contributed by Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co. Ltd (“Lutong Highway”). As a result, Lin Qing’s ownership was reduced to 21%, and Zhuo Panxing’s ownership was reduced to 9% and Lutong Highway held the remaining 70% as of December 31, 2009. Lutong Highway has only funded $9,518,370 (Renminbi 65,000,000) of the $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) commitment thereby creating a subscription receivable which is classified as a reduction of equity. The subscription receivable of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was originally payable by Lutong Highway, however, on March 3, 2010, Lutong Highway sold all its ownership to Lin Qing, who assumed the obligation to fulfill the unfunded subscription amount. Following the transfer of ownership interests to Lin Qing, his ownership percentage increased to 91% and Zhuo Panxing continued to hold 9% of the ownership.

On May 20, 2010, Lin Qing and Zhuo Panxing sold all of their ownerships interest in the Company to Wonder Dredging Engineering Limited Liability Company (“Wonder Dredging”) and Wonder Dredging assumed the unfunded subscription obligation of Lin Qing. Accordingly, as of May 20, 2010, Wonder Dredging held 100% of the ownership of the Company. The total registered capital contributed or committed remained unchanged at $29,002,371(Renminbi 200,000,000), of which $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was unfunded.

On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang Dredging Construction Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Dredging”) obtained 50% ownership of the Company from Wonder Dredging by virtue of a capital contribution of $23,602,460 (Renminbi 158,597,183) into the Company, which amount, includes the unfunded subscription amount of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000). Fujian Dredging is obligated to fund the total capital commitment on or before September 21, 2011 and $12,619,725 (Renminbi 83,597,183 ) was funded as of June 30, 2010. As of June 29, 2010, Wonder Dredging held 50% of the ownership of the Company and Fujian Dredging held the remaining 50%.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)
Basis of presentation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”).

(b)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c)
Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. The period-end rates for June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of Renminbi to one US dollar were 6.7814 and 6.8270 respectively; average rates for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 6.8189 and 6.8322 respectively. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the owners' equity section of the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $1,297,172 and $682,256 respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

(d)
Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. Substantially all of the Company's cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.  The Company maintains bank accounts in the PRC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (…/Cont'd)

(e)
Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts

Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts due or billable under the terms of contracts with customers. There is no amount related to retainage. The Company anticipates collection of all the outstanding balances within 10 days after completion reports of the contracts are issued. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing receivable. The Company provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables when events or conditions indicate that amounts outstanding are not recoverable.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Based on the Company’s assessment of collectibility, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recognized for any of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009.

(f)
Inventories

Inventories mainly consist of consumable parts including pipe, spare parts, and supplies used in the Company's dredging operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted average cost method.

(g)
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifty years. Building improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

Upon sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
   
Estimated lives
 
Dredgers
 
10
 
Machinery
 
5
 
Office equipment
 
5
 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.

(h)
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are comprised of property, plant and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, “Property, plant and equipment”, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.

If long-lived assets are to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Based on the Company’s assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

 
(i)
Fair value measurements

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4 (formerly FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”). This standard emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. This standard provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-5 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”. This ASU provides amendments to ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to address concerns regarding the determination of the fair value of liabilities. Because liabilities are often not “traded”, due to restrictions placed on their transferability, there is typically a very limited amount of trades (if any) from which to draw market participant data. As such, many entities have had to determine the fair value of a liability through the use of a hypothetical transaction. This ASU clarifies the valuation techniques that must be used when the liability subject to the fair value determination is not traded as an asset in an active market. The management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on the financial statements.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (.../Cont'd)

(j)
Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes contract revenues under the percentage-of-completion method to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of contracts, the stage of completion is measured by reference to (a) the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs; (b) the amount of work certified by site engineer; or (c) completion of physical proportion of the contract work. The difference between amounts billed and recognized as revenue is reflected in the balance sheet as either contract revenues in excess of billings or billings in excess of contract revenues. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress will be made in the period in which they are identified.  In the event that contract revenue cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. The cost of contract revenue includes consumable stores, dredgers' hire charges, salaries and wages and depreciation of dredgers.

(k)
Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

(m)
Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company's management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

(n)
Economic and political risks

The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC.  Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances aboard, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Pension and employee benefits

Full time employees of the Company participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. PRC labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees' salaries. Costs for pension and employee benefits for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $19,494 and $17,212, respectively.

(p)
Segment information

ASC 280 “Segment reporting” establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Company has only one segment, all of the Company's operations and customers are in the PRC and all incomes are derived from the services of dredging. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.

(q)
Recently issued accounting standards

We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance within Topic 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”) relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events.  This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in a company’s financial statements. Public entities are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that financial statements are issued. This guidance also provides guidelines in evaluating whether or not events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date should be recognized in the financial statements. This guidance requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard as of December 31, 2009. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards (…/Cont'd)

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 (“FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70”), (formerly FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162). FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The ASC does not change GAAP, instead it takes individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into Topics. Contents in each Topic are further organized by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC.” FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and does not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810.10, guidance to change financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This pronouncement clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The guidance requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about a company's involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial statement.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. ASU 2009-05 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  Specifically, ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not avaliable, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820 (e.g. an income approach or market approach). ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial statement.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

OWNERS' EQUITY AND RETAINED EARNINGS

 
(a)
Registered capital

The Company was incorporated on January 8, 2008 in the PRC. On September 21, 2009, the Company's registered capital was increased to $29,002,371 (Renminbi 200,000,000). $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) was contributed by Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co. Ltd (“Lutong Highway”). As a result, Lin Qing’s ownership was reduced to 21%, and Zhuo Panxing’s ownership was reduced to 9% and Lutong Highway held the remaining 70% as of December 31, 2009. Lutong Highway has only funded $9,518,370 (Renminbi 65,000,000) of the $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) commitment thereby creating a subscription receivable which is classified as a reduction of equity. The subscription receivable of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was originally payable by Lutong Highway, however, on March 3, 2010, Lutong Highway sold all its ownership to Lin Qing, who assumed the obligation to fulfill the unfunded subscription amount. Following the transfer of ownership interests to Lin Qing, his ownership percentage increased to 91% and Zhuo Panxing continued to hold 9% of the ownership.

On May 20, 2010, Lin Qing and Zhuo Panxing sold all of their ownerships to Wonder Dredging whereby Wonder Dredging assumed the unfunded subscription obligation of Lin Qing. Accordingly, as of May 20, 2010, Wonder Dredging held 100% of the ownership of the Company. The total registered capital contributed or committed remained unchanged at $29,002,371(Renminbi 200,000,000), of which $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was unfunded.

On June 29, 2010, Fujian WangGang Dredging Construction Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Dredging”) obtained 50% ownership of Xing Gang from Wonder Dredging by virtue of a capital contribution of $23,602,460 (Renminbi 158,597,183) into Xing Gang, the amount includes the unfunded subscription amount of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000). Fujian Dredging is obligated to fund the total capital commitment on or before September 21, 2011 and $12,619,725 (Renminbi 83,597,183 ) was funded as of June 30, 2010. As of June 29, 2010, Wonder Dredging held 50% of the ownership of the Company and Fujian Dredging held 50% of the ownership.

INCOME TAXES (…/Cont’d)

The PRC tax system is subject to substantial uncertainties and has been subject to recently enacted changes, the interpretation and enforcement of which are also uncertain. There can be no assurance that changes in PRC tax laws or their interpretation or their application will not subject the Company to substantial PRC taxes in future.

No deferred tax liability has been provided as the amount involved is immaterial. The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax filings and has concluded it has no material liability related to uncertain tax positions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there is no unrecognized tax benefit. Management does not anticipate any potential future adjustments in the next twelve months which would result in a material change to its financial tax position. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not accrue any interest and penalties.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Fujian Xing Gang Port Service Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) formerly known as Fujian Xing Gang Shipping Co., Ltd., is a China-based company that provides subcontracting dredging services to government owned dredging general contractors throughout the People’s Republic of China (“(PRC”). The Company has focused its services on reclamation and maintenance dredging projects.

The Company was incorporated on January 8, 2008 with total registered capital $8,501,266 (Renminbi 60,000,000). The Company was owned by two individuals, Lin Qing and Lin Ping. Lin Qing contributed cash of $5,950,886 (Renminbi 42,000,000) holding 70% of the total ownership, while Lin Ping contributed cash of $2,550,380 (Renminbi 18,000,000) holding 30% of the total ownership.

On April 14, 2008, Lin Ping sold all of her ownership to her father-in-law, Zhuo Panxing.

On September 21, 2009, the Company’s registered capital was increased to $29,002,371 (Renminbi 200,000,000). $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) was contributed by Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co. Ltd (“Lutong Highway”). As a result, Lin Qing’s ownership was reduced to 21%, and Zhuo Panxing’s ownership was reduced to 9% and Lutong Highway held the remaining 70% as of December 31, 2009. Lutong Highway has only funded $9,518,370 (Renminbi 65,000,000) of the $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) commitment thereby creating a subscription receivable of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) which is classified as a reduction of equity. The subscription receivable of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was originally payable by Lutong Highway, however, on March 3, 2010, Lutong Highway sold all its ownership to Lin Qing, who assumed the obligation to fulfill the unfunded subscription amount. Following the transfer of ownership interests to Lin Qing, his ownership percentage increased to 91% and Zhuo Panxing continued to hold 9% of the ownership.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)
Basis of presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”).

 
(b)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The year-end rates for December 31, 2009 and 2008 of Renminbi to one US dollar were 6.8270 and 6.8225 respectively; average rates for the year-end December 31, 2009 and 2008 were 6.8303 and 6.9351, respectively. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the owners’ equity section of the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $682,256 and $685,244 respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

 
(d)
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and at banks. Substantially all of the Company’s cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.

 
(e)
Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts due or billable under the terms of contracts with customers. The timing of when we bill our customers is generally based on advance billing terms or contingent upon completion of certain phases of the work, as stipulated in the contract. There is no amount related to retainage. The Company anticipates collection of all the outstanding balances within 10 days after completion reports of the contracts are issued. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing receivable. The Company provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables when events or conditions indicate that amounts outstanding are not recoverable.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Based on the Company’s assessment of collectibility, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recognized for any of the two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 
(f)
Inventories
Inventories mainly consist of consumable parts including pipe, spare parts, and supplies used in the Company’s dredging operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted average cost method.

 
(g)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifty years. Building improvements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

Upon sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

(h)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are comprised of property, plant and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, “Property, plant and equipment’’, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.

If long-lived assets are to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Based on the Company’s assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 
(i)
Fair value measurements
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4 (formerly FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”). This standard emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. This standard provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-5 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” This ASU provides amendments to ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to address concerns regarding the determination of the fair value of liabilities. Because liabilities are often not “traded”, due to restrictions placed on their transferability, there is typically a very limited amount of trades (if any) from which to draw market participant data. As such, many entities have had to determine the fair value of a liability through the use of a hypothetical transaction. This ASU clarifies the valuation techniques that must be used when the liability subject to the fair value determination is not traded as an asset in an active market. The management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
(j)
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes contract revenues under the percentage-of-completion method to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period. Depending on the nature of contracts, the stage of completion is measured by reference to (a) the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to estimated total contract costs; (b) the amount of work certified by site engineer; or (c) completion of physical proportion of the contract work. The difference between amounts billed and recognized as revenue is reflected in the balance sheet as either contract revenues in excess of billings or billings in excess of contract revenues. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress will be made in the period in which they are identified. In the event that contract revenue cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. The cost of contract revenue includes consumable stores, dredgers' hire charges, salaries and wages and depreciation of dredgers.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

 
(l)
Other comprehensive income

The Company has adopted ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components.  Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Other comprehensive income consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Total comprehensive income
  $ 28,761,610     $ 20,755,636  

 
(m)
Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.
 
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Economic and political risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange.  The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances aboard, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(o)
Pension and employee benefits

Full time employees of the Company participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. PRC labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. Costs for pension and employee benefits for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $34,618 and $19,856, respectively.

(p)
Segment information

ASC 280 “Segment reporting” establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Company has only one segment, all of the Company’s operations and customers are in the PRC and all income are derived from the services of dredging. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.

(q)
Recently issued accounting standards

We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance within Topic 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”) relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events.  This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in a company’s financial statements. Public entities are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that financial statements are issued. This guidance also provides guidelines in evaluating whether or not events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date should be recognized in the financial statements.  This guidance requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard as of December 31, 2009. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 (“FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70”), (formerly FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162). FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The ASC does not change GAAP, instead it takes individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into Topics. Contents in each Topic are further organized by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC.” FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards (…/Cont’d)

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810.10, guidance to change financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This pronouncement clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The guidance requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial statement.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. ASU 2009-05 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Specifically, ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820 (e.g., an income approach or market approach). ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial statement.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

On September 21, 2009, the Company’s registered capital was increased to $29,002,371 (Renminbi 200,000,000). $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) through an additional capital contribution by Fujian Lutong Highway Engineering Construction Co. Ltd (“Lutong Highway”). As a result, Lin Qing’s ownership was reduced to 21%, and Zhuo Panxing’s ownership was reduced to 9% and Lutong Highway held the remaining 70% as of December 31, 2009. Lutong Highway has only funded $9,518,370 (Renminbi 65,000,000) of the $20,501,105 (Renminbi 140,000,000) commitment thereby creating a subscription receivable which is classified as a reduction of equity. The subscription receivable of $10,982,735 (Renminbi 75,000,000) was originally payable by Lutong Highway, however, on March 3, 2010, Lutong Highway sold all its ownership to Lin Qing, who assumed the obligation to fulfill the unfunded subscription amount. Following the transfer of ownership interests to Lin Qing, his ownership percentage increased to 91% and Zhuo Panxing continued to hold 9% of the ownership.
 
(b)
Retained earnings and statutory reserves

Retained earnings and statutory reserves as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 consist of the following:

   
2009
   
2008
 
             
Retained earnings
  $ 43,946,972     $ 18,061,369  
                 
Statutory reserves
  $ 4,888,018     $ 2,009,023  

The Company is required to make appropriations of retained earnings set at certain percentages of after-tax profits determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations (“PRC GAAP”). The general reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end and after setting off against any accumulated losses from prior years until such fund has reached 50% of the registered capital.

Appropriation to the statutory reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to owners. This statutory reserve is not distributable in the form of cash dividends.

INCOME TAXES

All of the Company’s income is generated in the PRC.

   
2009
   
2008
 
             
Current income tax expense
  $ 9,596,651     $ 6,696,745  

The Company’s income tax provision in respect of operations in PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the estimated assessable profits for the year based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. The standard tax rate applicable to the Company was 25% which was effective on January 1, 2008.

A reconciliation of the expected income tax expense to the actual income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

   
2009
   
2008
 
             
Income before tax
  $ 38,361,249     $ 26,767,137  
                 
Expected PRC income tax expense at statutory tax rate of 25%
  $ 9,590,312     $ 6,691,784  
Effect on exchange rate
    6,339       4,961  
Actual income tax expense
  $  9,596,651     $ 6,696,745  

The PRC tax system is subject to substantial uncertainties and has been subject to recently enacted changes, the interpretation and enforcement of which are also uncertain. There can be no assurance that changes in PRC tax laws or their interpretation or their application will not subject the Company to substantial PRC taxes in future.

No deferred tax liability has been provided as the amount involved is immaterial. The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax filings and has concluded it has no material liability related to uncertain tax positions.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no unrecognized tax benefit. Management does not anticipate any potential future adjustments in the next twelve months which would result in a material change to its financial tax position. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not accrue any interest and penalties.

CHARDAN ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

It is management's opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.

Effective May 25, 2010, the Company’s domicile was changed from the State of Nevada to the Territory of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) through a re-registration and continuation process (the “Redomestication”).

(B) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(D) Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

(E) Income Taxes

In the BVI, there are no income or other business taxes applicable to the Company.  However, the facts and circumstances of the Redomestication are such that Company management believes the Company remains subject to the continuing tax jurisdiction of the United States and accruals of tax reflect that assumption. The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”).  Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
(F) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

(G) Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

(H) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.
 
(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts on the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for this instrument.

NOTE 5     GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss of $64,422 for the period from September 26, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2010; and a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $32,923 at June 30, 2010.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 6     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 28, 2010, the Company’s sole Director authorized a change in the Company’s fiscal year end to January 31 from September 30.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors of:
Chardan Acquisition Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Chardan Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) as of  September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2009 and the period September 26, 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2008 and the period September 26, 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform  the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Chardan Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2009 and the period September 26, 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2008 and the period September 26. 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has no operations and has a net loss of $35,486 from Inception, a working capital and stockholders' deficiency of $12,476 at September 30, 2009 and used cash in operations from $16,665 from Inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CHARDAN ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization

Chardan Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 26, 2008.

The Company was formed to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. It has been in the developmental stage since inception and have no operations to date other than issuing shares to our original shareholder. It will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with us. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock- for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances, the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that it will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.

Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.

(B) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(D) Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

CHARDAN ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
 
(E) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”).  Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $25,076 available to offset future taxable income through 2029 which results in a deferred tax asset of $8,526.  The valuation allowance at September 30, 2009 was $8,526.  The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended September 30, 2009 was an increase of $8,016.

(F) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

(G) Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

(H) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws, however, will continue to be the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements will include references to the new Codification. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

CHARDAN ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE). FASB ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. FASB ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. Topic 810 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 - Transfers and Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
 
(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts payable and loan payable – related party approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
 
NOTE 5      GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss of $35,486 for the period from September 26, 2008 (inception) to September 30, 2009; and a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $12,476 at September 30, 2009 and used cash in operations of $16,665 from inception.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
