NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of accounting policies for CHDT Corporation, a Florida corporation (formerly, “China Direct Trading Corporation”) (“Company” or “CHDT”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.  CHDT changed its name to “CHDT Corporation” by amending its Articles of Incorporation, which name change was effective July 16, 2007 in respect of NASD Regulation, Inc. and OTC Bulletin Board approval of the name change, the trading symbol change from “CHDT.OB” to “CHDO.OB” and change in CUSIP Number for CHDT Common Stock and effective May 7, 2007 in terms of approval by the State of Florida of the charter amendment.

The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.
 
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
CHDT was initially incorporated September 18, 1986 under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name "Yorkshire Leveraged Group, Incorporated", and then changed its domicile situs to Colorado in 1989 by merging into a Colorado corporation, named "Freedom Funding, Inc." Freedom Funding, Inc. then changed its name to "CBQ, Inc." by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation on November 25, 1998. In May 2004, the Company changed its name from “CBQ, Inc.” to “China Direct Trading Corporation” as part of a reincorporation from the State of Colorado to the State of Florida.  Effective May 7, 2007, the Company amended its charter to change its name from “China Direct Trading Corporation” to “CHDT Corporation.”  This name change was effective as of July 16, 2007 for purposes of the change of its name on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
Souvenir Direct, Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 2002 under the laws of the State of Florida.  Souvenir Direct, Inc. operations were transferred to Capstone Industries, Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and Souvenir Direct, Inc.’s operating assets were sold on December 1, 2007 to an unaffiliated buyer.
 
On December 1, 2003, CHDT issued 97 million shares common stock to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Souvenir Direct, Inc. in a reverse acquisition. At this time, a new reporting entity was created. Souvenir Direct, Inc. is considered the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes. Also on December 1, 2003, an additional 414,628,300 shares of common stock were issued to the previous owners of the Company.
 
In February 2004, the Company established a new subsidiary, initially named “China Pathfinder Fund, L.L.C.”, a Florida limited liability company. During 2005, the name was changed to “Overseas Building Supply, LLC” to reflect its shift in business lines from business development consulting services in China for North American companies to trading Chinese-made building supplies in South Florida.  This business line was ended in fiscal year 2007 and OBS’ name was changed to “Black Box Innovations, L.L.C.” (“BBI”) on March 20, 2008.
 
On January 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Complete Power Solutions ("CPS") to acquire 51% of the member interests of CPS. CPS was organized by William Dato on September 20, 2004, as a Florida limited liability company to distribute power generators in Florida and adjacent states.  The Company subsequently sold its 51% membership interest in CPS, pursuant to a Purchase and Settlement Agreement dated and effective as of December 31, 2006.

CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
On September 13, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (Capstone). Capstone was incorporated in Florida on May 15, 1996 and is engaged primarily in the business of wholesaling consumer products to distributors and retailers in the United States.
 
Nature of Business
 
From the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company has been primarily engaged in the business of marketing and selling consumer products through national and regional retailers and distributors, in North America.  Capstone currently operates in four primary business segments: Lighting Products, Comfort Products, Power Tools and Automotive Accessories. The Company’s products are typically manufactured in the Peoples’ Republic of China by third-party  manufacturing companies.
 
During the period that the Company owned a 51% interest in CPS (January 27, 2006 through December 31, 2006), the Company, through CPS, engaged in the business of selling and installing standby commercial and residential power generators in South Florida and, to a lesser extent, in adjacent states.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings.  The allowance for bad debt is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the receivables.  This evaluation in inherently subjective and requires estimated that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
 
As of September 30, 2008, management has determined that the accounts receivable are fully collectible.  As such, management has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Inventory
 
The Company's inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, consists of finished goods for resale by Capstone, totaling $655,402 at September 30, 2008 and $292,743 as of December 31, 2007.
 
BBI (previously “Overseas Building Supply, L.C.”) had inventory of $40,441 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight- line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

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

CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
The Company follows FASB Statement No. 144 (SFAS 144), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  No impairments were recognized by the Company during 2007 or the second quarter of 2008.
 
Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss.
 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives.
 
Depreciation expense was  $76,004 and $21,323 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired either individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) shall be initially recognized and measured based on its fair value.  Goodwill acquired in business combinations is initially computed as the amount paid by the acquiring company in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired.
 
Costs of internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets (including goodwill) that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.
 
An intangible asset (excluding goodwill) with a definite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to determine whether events and circumstance continue to support an indefinite useful life. If and when an intangible asset is determined to no longer have an indefinite useful life, the asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangibles that are subject to amortization.
 
An intangible asset (including goodwill) that is not subject to amortization shall be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized.
 
It is the Company's policy to test for impairment no less than annually, or when conditions occur that may indicate an impairment. The Company's intangible assets, which consist of goodwill of $1,936,020 recorded in connection with the Capstone acquisition, were tested for impairment and determined that no adjustment for impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2007, whereas the fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.  At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the total number of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was 197,165,627 and 85,748,980, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries intend to file consolidated income tax returns

Stock-Based Compensation

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

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

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

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

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

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

On April 23, 2007, the Company granted 130,500,000 stock options to two officers of the Company.  The options vest at twenty percent per year beginning April 23, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $503,075 related to these options. On May 23, 2008, 74,666,667 of the above stock options were cancelled.  For nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $335,941 related to these options.

On May 1, 2007, the Company granted 4,000,000 stock options to five employees of the Company.   The options vest over two years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $29,214 related to these options.   For nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $32,868 related to these options.

On October 22, 2007, the Company granted 700,000 stock options to a business associate of the Company.  The options vest over two years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,330 related to these options.  For nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $5,985 related to these options.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted 4,150,000 stock options to employees and directors of the Company.  The options vest over one and two years.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $59,097 related to these options.

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

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

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


Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $2,500 for consulting fees.  Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $101,100, consisting of $25,000 included in employee compensation, $72,500 for consulting fees and $3,600 for legal fees.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160").  SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is not

permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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

In March 2008, the FASB issued No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  (“SFAS 161").  SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material.
 
NOTE 2 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
 
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company at times has cash and cash equivalents with its financial institution in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits.  The Company places in cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institution which minimize these risks.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $140,000.  As of September 30, 2008, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $84,000.

Interest shall be payable, at the option of the note holder, in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock.  The number of common shares to be issued as payment of accrued and unpaid interest shall be determined by dividing the total amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be converted in common stock by the “Conversion Price” (as defined below). The Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the note holder, into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest as of the conversion date by the Conversion Price.
 
The Conversion Price shall mean a price no lower than $ .03 and higher than $ .04 which will be the average of the closing bid price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of asses, issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuance of common stock equivalents) for ten days trading preceding the conversion date.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,218,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

CHDT is uncertain when or how the Second Circuit will rule on the plaintiffs’ appeal.  CHDT has moved that the Second Circuit to make a ruling on the briefs without oral arguments, but CHDT believes that the plaintiffs have requested oral arguments.  There has been no ruling to date on the overall appeal or CHDT’s motion for a ruling based solely on the written appeal briefs submitted to date.   CHDT intends to appeal any adverse ruling in this case by the Second Circuit.  This action was initially brought by certain debenture holders of Socrates Technologies Corporation (“STC”), a defunct Delaware corporation, against us for allegedly purchasing certain operating assets of STC’s subsidiaries in March 2001, which assets were allegedly pledged as collateral for the STC debentures and which acquisition allegedly violated the STC debentures’ terms. Plaintiffs are seeking the value of the transferred assets.

In the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, we engaged the Dorsey & Whitney in New York City to handle this case for us and to replace the law firm of Kalbian Hagerty LLP of Washington, D.C., which filed to withdraw from the case.  Bart Fisher, a former officer and director of CHDT and a principal beneficial owner of our Common Stock is a party to the engagement agreement with Dorsey & Whitney.  Mr. Fisher has paid previous legal costs on behalf of CHDT in this case and has agreed to do so without indemnification or reimbursement from CHDT.

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES (continued)

This case concerns a lawsuit that was filed against the Company by three Plaintiffs on or about December 4, 2003, but which the Company did not receive notice of until the week of February 18, 2004 or thereabouts. The Plaintiffs purchased debentures issued by Socrates Technologies Corporation (STC), a public Delaware corporation in 2000. When the Company purchased the assets of two STC subsidiaries in March 2001, the Plaintiffs allege that the Company promised to issue to the Plaintiffs and others the consideration that was to be paid to STC for the acquired assets and to so do in order to compensate the plaintiffs for their investment in the STC debentures, which were apparently in default at that time. The total consideration paid for the STC subsidiaries' assets were 7.65 million shares of company Common Stock and a Promissory Note made by the Company for $700,000 principal amount. The Company has defended against the Plaintiffs' claims to date. If the Plaintiffs win a judgment on their claims, the judgment, if collected, would prove potentially ruinous the Company, unless a settlement involving no cash was arranged between the parties to the lawsuit. The Plaintiff's claims include a claim for receipt of the money due under the Promissory Note with a principal amount of $700,000. The Company lacks the cash flow or cash reserves or funding resources to pay such a claim, either in a lump sum or over time. If the Plaintiffs are awarded the claimed damages against the Company in this lawsuit and the Company did not or could not appeal such an award, then under such circumstances the Company would be unable to pay such damages, either in a lump sum or under any short-term schedule, and would be insolvent without an emergency infusion of capital from investors.

Sun Trust Bank Dispute. Sun Trust Bank line of credit and term note
 
Prior to being acquired by CHDT, Quantum Technology Group had a $4 million line of credit with Crestar Bank, which was subsequently acquired by Sun Trust. This line of credit was guaranteed by Quantum and five individual guarantors, including Ray Kostkowski, Anne Sigman, Skip Lewis, and Anthony Saunders. This line of credit was opened during April, 2000. On August 8, 2000, the Company acquired all of the shares of Quantum. Sun Trust asserted that $1.3 million of the line of credit had been used, and was owing to Sun Trust, as well as line of credit, a $200,000 term loan from Sun Trust to Quantum, approximately $200,000 in accrued interest and $100,000 in attorney fees -- all of which SunTrust had sought to collect from the individual guarantors. Sun Trust had not sued the Company and has not raised its prior threat to sue since 2005.
 
RAS Investment, Inc., a company affiliated with Anne Sigman, a former employee of the Company, has advised the Company that RAS has acquired the Sun Trust note and has demanded payment in cash or stock. As of the date of this Report, the Company's position remains as before, that is, that the Company is not obligated to pay the Sun Trust debts and any claims made to collect that debt could be defeated by several potential defenses and counterclaims.  CHDT has not received any communication in this matter from RAS Investment, Inc. since 2006.  The Company will aggressively defend against any effort to assert any claim against CHDT based on the above credit line.
 
Potential Litigation
 
Cyberquest, Inc.
 
As reported previously, the Company has received two claims from certain former shareholders of Cyberquest, Inc. that they hold or own approximately 70,000 shares of a class of the Company's redeemable preferred stock that was issued in the Company's 1998 acquisition of Cyberquest. Cyberquest ceased operations in 2000-2001 period. The Company has investigated these claims and has not been able to date to fully substantiate any of the claims to date and the claimants have not pursued their claims beyond an initial communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock.  The Company has not received any further claims or communications since mid-2006.

NOTE 13 - SALE OF ASSETS

The assets and liabilities of Souvenir Direct were transferred into Capstone January 1, 2007.  The assets consisted of cash of $13,816, accounts receivable of $20,967, deposits of $1,775, net fixed assets of $3,329, and intercompany receivables of $160,263. The liabilities consisted of accrued expenses of $38,387 and loans payable of $10,000.

On December 1, 2007, the Company sold the remaining assets of Souvenir Direct for $206,284.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, a gain on disposal of assets of $206,284 was recognized in the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 14 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company capitalized $73,012 of product development costs related to the production of the Company’s AASTP products.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company capitalized $88,504 of product development costs related to the production of the Company’s AASTP products.  These costs will be amortized over their useful life, which the Company has determined to be two years.   At September 30, 2008, amortization expense of $43,163 has been recorded.

NOTE 15 – UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest.

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In many cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2007:

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable and achievable at the time made, these statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.  Actual results may differ significantly from anticipated business and financial results.

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

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007; and (ii) financial liquidity and capital resources. 

We are a developer and manufacturer of niche consumer products selling to distributors and retailers in the United States. We conduct our business through wholly owned operating subsidiaries.  Our current, sole wholly-owned operating subsidiary is Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Capstone”) and Capstone currently operates in four primary consumer product business segments: Automotive Accessories, Comfort Products, Lighting and Power Tools and Consumer Electronics will be added to our product listing in 2009. We acquired Capstone in a cash and stock transaction on September 13, 2006.

Our growth strategy has four main strategies:

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

Capstone Lighting products consists of innovative portable lighting products that we believe can win a profitable niche in market share without high market penetration costs (especially marketing and advertising costs).  Capstone sells book lights, task lights, flashlights and lighted magnifiers and also offers “Private Label” programs to major retailers.  “Private Label” is the manufacture of products by a company whereby those products are sold under the name or trade name of the manufacturer’s retailers, distributors or bulk buyers.  In addition to its new consumer electronics products marketed under tâke Capstone will be introducing several new book lights and eco-friendly lights in fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, that have been developed in association with the engineers from the STP® tools business unit.

Simply Comfort products are a collection of uniquely designed MP3 speaker comfort products made with various foams including memory foam.

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

STP®-branded Automotive Accessories were also launched in October 2007. The current product line includes 200w, 400w, 800w and 1000w inverters, rechargeable Spotlights from 1 million candle power, up to 10 million candle power, 12v air compressor, garage clocks and weather center.

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

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

Starting in 2007, we have sought to avoid the problems of the past by recruiting an experienced management and sales team for the stated purpose to develop and expand a consumer products business and we have endeavored to raise funds for planned business development efforts.  These steps have resulted in losses on a quarter-by-quarter basis for fiscal year 2007 and the second quarter of 2008, but we believe that this investment in corporate infrastructure is necessary to lay the foundation for future success and business and product development.  While we are not certain that our current strategy and business line will produce sustained future profitability or any growth, we believe that the current strategy and business line is the best approach for our current management team and available resources and, in our opinion, the most likely path to any hope of sustained future profitability.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s revenues were derived from 3 sources: (i) the sale of our booklight, tasklight, STP tools and Eco-i-Lite products (Capstone and its booklight/tasklight product line was acquired by CHDT in September 2006); (ii) sale of promotional, gift and souvenir items by our recently sold SDI subsidiary under a December 1, 2007 purchase agreement; and (iii) revenues, if any,  from our 51% membership interest in CPS, which interest we divested as of December 31, 2006.

The failure of CHDT to achieve sustained profitability in its operations continues to hamper our efforts to establish and sustain a profitable, growing business.  In fiscal year 2007, we had to continue our historical reliance on raising working capital for operations and business and product development by selling securities to investors and/or receiving loans or investment from members of management or their affiliates.  While we have secured bank financing for operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 for Capstone operations, we may have to continue to raise working capital for business and product development (as well as mergers and acquisitions of other companies or their products) by selling our securities in private placements to investors and/or loans or investments by our management and their affiliates. This reliance on private placements of securities and insider loans or investments adds to the already huge number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock, dilutes our shareholders and further weakens our ability to attract primary market makers and  institutional investor support for our Common Stock as a publicly traded security and also adversely impacts on our ability to do mergers and acquisitions, attract traditional bank funding or raise working capital by public offerings of our securities.

On May 1, 2008, Capstone Industries secured a conventional $2,000,000 asset based line of credit from Sterling National Bank, located in New York City. This credit line provides funding for an amount up to 85% of eligible Capstone U.S. accounts receivable and 50% of eligible Capstone inventory. The interest rate of the Loan shall be the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum (adjusted automatically with changes in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate).  Capstone management believes that this credit line and available cash flow will be adequate to fund most of Capstone’s ongoing working capital needs in fiscal year 2008.

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

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

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

Results of Operations: For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had net income from continuing operations of approximately $64,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had a net loss from operations of approximately $268,000. That is a net income increase of $332,000 over 2007 results. The third quarter 2008 net income increased approximately $616,000 over the second quarter 2008 net income results. The major reason for this higher net income was increased revenues in the quarter.

Total Revenues: For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had total sales of approximately $3,022,000 and $815,000 respectively, for an increase of $2,207,000, which represents a 270.8% increase over 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30th and 2007, the Company had total sales of approximately $4,290,000 and $1,415,000 respectively, for an increase of $2,875,000, which represents a 203.2% increase over 2007. The third quarter 2008 revenue of approximately $3,022,000 increased $2,327,000 or 334.8% over the second quarter 2008 revenue of $695,000.  All the revenue was generated by CHDT’s Capstone subsidiary. In 2007, the $815,000 revenue was comprised primarily of domestic book light shipments meaning shipments to retailers made from our warehouse located in the U.S. In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, approximately 77% ($2,315,000) of the $3,022,000 revenue was shipped on a Direct Import basis (EX China) and only 23% was shipped from our U.S. warehouse. This higher percentage of Direct Import Sales reflects the change of product mix sold, as Capstone’s other product categories namely STP® branded tools and accessories and Eco-i-Lite started to ship to retailers. In general, depending on the product category, U.S. national retailers are moving more towards Direct Import programs. This allows retailers to have control over the cargo/containers, provides better inventory utilization and reduces their overall costs.

Cost of Sales: For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Cost of Sales was approximately $2,069,000 and $457,000, respectively.  This cost represents 68.5% and 56.1% respectively of total revenue. As a percentage of total revenue costs have increased from the same period last year by 12.4%. This higher percent of sales is a direct result of the expanded mix of products now being sold and impact of the new Direct Import program. In third quarter 2007 Cost of Sales were approximately $457,000 (56.1% of revenue) and were primarily related to higher margin book lights shipped out of our U.S. warehouse (domestic). In the third quarter 2008, Cost of Sales (68.4% of revenue) is a blend of Direct Import Sales of power tools, automotive accessories and Eco-i-Lites and book lights sales from our U.S. warehouse. In a direct import program as the title of the merchandise is transferred overseas then the wholesale price charged to the retailer is lower, as the retailer is responsible for ocean freight, US customs duties, warehousing and financial costs. In the third quarter approximately 77% of revenue was on a Direct Import basis, resulting in a higher blended cost of 68.4% of revenue.

Gross Profit: For the three months ended September 30, 2008, gross profit was approximately $953,000, an increase of approximately $595,000 or 166.2% over $358,000 in 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, gross profit was approximately $1,406,000, an increase of approximately $795,000 over $611,000 in 2007. In the third quarter 2008, gross profit increased by approximately $754,000 or 378.8% over the second quarter 2008 results of approximately $199,000.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, gross profit as a percent of sales was 31.5% as compared to 43.9% in 2007. This Gross Profit decrease is a direct impact of our larger customers buying on a direct import basis. The gross margins are lower in this selling scenario as indicated previously but the company’s expenses are also reduced as the customer is responsible for related expenses. (Freight, duties and handling costs).

Operating Expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, operating expenses were $806,000 and $674,000 respectively.  This is an increase of approximately $132,000 from 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, operating expenses were approximately $2,335,000 and $1,416,000. This is an increase of $919,000 from 2007. Explanations for the major expense increases and reductions for the year are noted below.
For the nine months ended September 2008 and 2007, employee compensation was approximately $1,200,000 and $680,000 respectively, an increase of approximately $520,000. Beginning in mid-2007 CHDT started to build up its management structure and hired experienced marketing and sales executives to manage the growth of Capstone’s new product lines.  CHDT also recognized in the compensation expenses for 9 months ending 2008 approximately $434,000 for stock options to its executives.
Professional Fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $117,000 and $162,000 respectively, a reduction of $45,000. This expense reduction is the result of hiring qualified in house accounting personnel and reducing the need for outside accounting services.

 
31

 

Depreciation Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $76,000 and $21,000 respectively, an increase of $55,000. This is the result of the depreciation of moulds and equipment required to develop the STP® product line.
Quality Control Fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $131,000 and $0 respectively. This expense relates to the quality control and product testing services that we engage to ensure the products we offer are of the highest quality.
Packaging Cost Design for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $48,000 and $11,000 respectively. The $37,000 increase is the result of new package design and artwork for the new product lines.
Marketing Allowances for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $118,000 and $28,000 respectively. The $90,000 increase relates to promotional and marketing allowances provided to retailers in order to support our sales programs.

Other Income (Expense): Interest Expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2008 by approximately $43,000 from $41,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $84,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 interest expense were approximately $149,000 and $94,000 respectively, an increase of $55,000. This increased expense is the result of new loans being executed by the Company.

Net Income: For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Net Income was approximately $64,000
and $(268,000) loss respectively.  This quarter showed an improvement of net income by $332,000 as compared to the same quarter last year.  As compared against the second quarter ended 06-30-08 which incurred a net loss of approximately $ (552,000), the third quarter net income improved by $616,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 Net Loss was approximately $(1,076,000) and $(791,726) respectively.

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

Impact of Inflation:   Our major expenses have been the cost of selling and marketing product lines to customers in North America.  That effort involves mostly sales staff traveling to make direct marketing and sales pitches to customers and potential customers trade shows around North America and visiting China to maintain and seek to expand   distribution and manufacturing relationships and channels.  As a result of world economic conditions and the current price of world oil and resulting increased material costs, there are now pressures from Chinese Manufacturers to gradually increase costs. We generally have been able to reduce cost increases by strong negotiating or re-engineering products, but we may have to increase the price of our products in fiscal year 2008 in response to such inflationary pressures.  Since we operate in industries where the consumers tend to be price sensitive, any such increase in the prices of our products may adversely impact our sales and financial results in fiscal year 2008.

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

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

Currency.  The U.S. dollar is the currency used in all of our commercial transactions and our property and business is conducted in North America. As a result, the effect of the fluctuations of exchange rates is considered minimal to our business operations.

Interest Rate Risk. We do not have significant interest rate risk during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008.

Credit Risk. We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records. Our managers monitor our receivables regularly and our Direct Import Programs are typically supported by a customers Letter of Credit which is a guaranteed form of payment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008 and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures.

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The certifications of our chief executive officer and chief financial officers attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 31.3 to this Report include information concerning our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 4, including the information incorporated by reference to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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

CELESTE TRUST REG., ESQUIRE TRADE, ET AL. V. CBQ, INC. (Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Case #07-1701-CV, April 2007; Lower Court Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court, SDNY, 12/4/2003):   Both the initial and amended complaint of the plaintiffs in this case against us were dismissed by the trial court upon our motions to dismiss.  The plaintiffs perfected their appeal of the dismissal of the amended complaint and the appeal was briefed in November 2007.  The appeal is currently pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. CHDT is uncertain when or how the Second Circuit will rule on the plaintiffs’ appeal.  CHDT has moved that the Second Circuit to make a ruling on the briefs without oral arguments, but CHDT believes that the plaintiffs have requested oral arguments.  There has been no ruling to date on the overall appeal or CHDT’s motion for a ruling based solely on the written appeal briefs submitted to date.   CHDT intends to appeal any adverse ruling in this case by the Second Circuit.  This action was initially brought by certain debenture holders of Socrates Technologies Corporation (“STC”), a defunct Delaware corporation, against us for allegedly purchasing certain operating assets of STC’s subsidiaries in March 2001, which assets were allegedly pledged as collateral for the STC debentures and which acquisition allegedly violated the STC debentures’ terms. Plaintiffs are seeking the value of the transferred assets.

In the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, we engaged the Dorsey & Whitney in New York City to handle this case for us and to replace the law firm of Kalbian Hagerty LLP of Washington, D.C., which filed to withdraw from the case.  Bart Fisher, a former officer and director of CHDT and a principal beneficial owner of our Common Stock is a party to the engagement agreement with Dorsey & Whitney.  Mr. Fisher has paid previous legal costs on behalf of CHDT in this case and has agreed to do so without indemnification or reimbursement from CHDT.

CPS (Complete Power Solutions, LLC) Litigation (Case # CACE07-19082(25) 17th Judicial Court, Broward County, Florida): As part of the January 26, 2007 Purchase and Settlement Agreement between CPS, CHDT and other parties, CPS issued of a promissory note  to us in the principal  amount of $225,560,  bearing annual interest at 7% with interest-only  payments commencing on July 1,  2007 and thereafter  being paid quarterly on  October 1st, January 1st , April 1st and July1st until the  principal and all unpaid  interest  thereon shall become due and payable on the maturity date,  being January 26, 2010, (the "2007 Promissory Note").  The 2007 Promissory Note provides that if principal and accrued interest thereon is not paid in full by the maturity date,  then 2007  Promissory  Note's maturity  date will be roll over for  successive one-year periods until paid in full.  For any roll over period, the annual  interest will be increased to 12%.

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

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

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

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

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.


Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders

None.

Item 5.  Other Information

Related Party Transactions. On June 2, 2008, Stewart Wallach, CHDT Chief Executive Officer and President, and Howard Ullman, CHDT Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into and consummated a written agreement (“Agreement”) whereby: (a) Mr. Wallach formally executed his May 23, 2008 commitment to the CHDT Board of Directors to voluntarily cancel his non-qualified stock option for 74,666,667 million shares of CHDT Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Common Stock”), leaving 27,733,333 million shares available under that option for purchase by Mr. Wallach at $0.029 per share, and (b) Mr. Wallach purchased 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock and approximately 939,000 shares of CHDT Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.10 par value, (“Series B Stock”) from Mr. Ullman.  The per share purchase price for the shares was $0.0025 for the Common Stock and $0.165 for the Series B Stock, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $242,435  (“Aggregate Purchase Price”).  The Aggregate Purchase Price was paid by a five-year promissory note issued by Mr. Wallach to Mr. Ullman.  The Note bears interest at five percent per annum and provides for payment of principal and interest in five equal annual installments, each payable on the first annual anniversary of the date of the Note with the first installment due June 2, 2009.  Mr. Wallach may pay such sums with shares of CHDT capital stock that he beneficially own.  The transaction is intended to reflect Mr. Wallach’s increasing importance to the executive management and strategic planning of CHDT.

Mr. Wallach consented to the termination of the 74,666,667 common stock option shares on May 23, 2008, subject to the conditions of the Agreement (including signing and closing of the Agreement on June 2, 2008).  That consent is memorialized in the Agreement and subject to the signing and closing of the Agreement on June 2, 2008.  As a result of the termination of the 74,666,667 stock option shares, the Company is eliminating the incentive compensation expense for all terminated option shares from May 24, 2008, which have not be expensed in CHDT’s historical financial statements as filed with the SEC.  The incentive compensation expense eliminated by the termination of the 74,666,667 stock option shares by Mr. Wallach is estimated to be as follows: (a) $345,028 in incentive compensation expenses in fiscal year  2008 and (b) an aggregate total of $1,725,137 in incentive compensation expenses for fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 20011 (the expense elimination for fiscal year 2008 is included in the amount of the total expense elimination for fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 20011).

The sale of Series B Stock leaves Mr. Ullman with total ownership of 917,813 shares of Series B Stock (43% of the outstanding shares) and total ownership of 195,769,536 shares of Common Stock (35% of the outstanding shares) and provides Mr. Wallach with total ownership of  65,157,295 shares of Common Stock (12% of the outstanding shares) and 939,000 shares of Series B Stock (44% of the outstanding shares).  The Series B Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at 66 2/3 to 1 ratio. Mr. Wallach continues to have a non-qualified stock option for 29.013 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.029 per share. Outstanding shares of the Series B Stock is 2,111,813 and outstanding shares of the Common Stock is 561,941,645 – both totals as of May 30, 2008.

On July 11, 2008, we received a loan commitment from Jeffrey Postal, a director of CHDT, for a maximum of $250,000 principal amount.  The principal accrues interest at 8% simple interest per annum and has a six (6) month term.  Principal and all accrued interest on the principal are due in a lump-sum payment on the maturity date of January 11, 2009, which can be extended for an additional six (6) consecutive month period with the mutual agreement of both parties.  As an equity kicker, CHDT also issued a warrant to Mr. Postal to purchase 4 million shares of “restricted” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concurrently with the loan commitment.  The exercise price under the warrant is $0.025 per share and the warrant has a term of five years.  The debt obligation is evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated July 11, 2008. Attached to the Promissory Note is the form of the warrant.  The proceeds from the loan will be used solely for funding of the production of products sold by Capstone.   CHDT elected to pursue the loan from Mr. Postal because the funding was immediately available from Mr. Postal without the customary delay of and the numerous restrictive covenants of traditional bank financing, the funding was needed this fiscal quarter to fund the production of products and there was no assurance or certainty that the funding could be obtained from other funding sources in a timely manner or at all. This transaction and the underlying documentation were approved by disinterested directors of CHDT as being fair to CHDT and its public shareholders. The issuance of the warrant is made in reliance on a Section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The above description of the Promissory Note and warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual documents, which are attached to this Form 8-K Report, filed with the Commission on July 17, 2008, as Exhibit 10.1.
