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 Subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial
statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
financial statements. CHDT Corporation changed its name by amending
its Articles of Incorporation, which name change was effective July 16, 2007 in
respect of NASD Regulation, Inc. and OTC Bulletin Board approval of the name
change, the trading symbol change from “CHDT.OB” to “CHDO.OB” and change in
CUSIP Number for CHDT 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 June 30, 2008 and for the three and six
month periods ended June 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 six 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.
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. CHDT intends to offer new products through BBI in fiscal year
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.

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 low technology consumer products to
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 contract
manufacturing companies.
During
the period that the Company owned a 51% interest in CPS (January 27, 2006
through December 31, 2006), the Company, through CPS, engaged in the business of
power generators in South Florida and adjacent states.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents, to the extent the funds are not
being held for investment purposes.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
An
allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. The
allowance for bad debt is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is
based 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
June 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 $345,568 at June 30, 2008 and $292,743
as of December 31, 2007.
BBI
(previously “Overseas Building Supply, L.C.”) had inventory of $40,441 at June
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:

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 $44,315 and $13,290 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
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
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are not presented as it would be
anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the total number of
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was 197,165,627 and 85,748,980,
respectively.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 include the accounts of the parent entity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
Souvenir Direct, Inc., Black Box Innovations, L.L.C. (formerly “Overseas
Building Supply, LLC” and formerly “China Pathfinder Fund, LLC”), and Capstone
Industries, Inc.
The
results of operations attributable to Capstone are included in the consolidated
results of operating beginning on September 13, 2006, the date on which the
Company’s interest in Capstone was acquired.
The
results of operations attributable to the Company’s interest in its former
subsidiary, CPS, for the period of time in which majority interest in CPS was
held by the Company (January 27, 2006 through December 31, 2006) are included in
the loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of income
(loss). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes." SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted
tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. 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).

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 six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$262,297 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 six months ended June 30,
2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $21,910 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 six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$3,990 related to these options.

(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 six months ended June 30, 2008, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $39,400 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 included $2,500 for
consulting fees. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 included $75,000, consisting of $25,000 included in employee
compensation and $50,000 for consulting 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 June 30, 2008, the Company did not have
any cash in excess of FDIC limits.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants credit to its customers, substantially all of whom are retail
establishments located throughout the United States. The Company
typically does not require collateral from customers. Credit risk is limited due
to the financial strength of the customers comprising the Company’s customer
base and their dispersion across different geographical regions. The
Company monitors exposure of credit losses and maintains allowances for
anticipated losses considered necessary under the
circumstances.

which the Company acquired 51% of the member interests of CPS owned by Mr. Dato
for a purchase price consisting of the payment of $637,000 in cash and the
delivery of 600,000 shares of Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series A Preferred Stock") having a stated value of $1,200,000, which
Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into 50,739,958 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at the demand of Mr. Dato. The cash paid in the transaction was
obtained from capital provided to the Company for use in connection with
acquisitions by Howard Ullman, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and
certain of our directors and principal shareholders.
On
January 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and Settlement Agreement
(the "Settlement Agreement"), dated and effective as of December 31, 2006, with
William Dato and CPS whereby: (a) CPS repurchased the 51% membership interest
owned by China Direct in return for the transfer of the 600,000 shares of the
Company’s "Series A Preferred Stock”, which are convertible into 50,739,958
shares of the Company's common stock, and (b) the issuance of a promissory note
by CPS to China Direct for 225,560, bearing annual interest at 7% with
interest-only payments commencing on July 1, 2007 and thereafter being paid
quarterly on April 1st, July 1st, October 1st, and January 1st until the
principal and all unpaid interest thereon shall become due and payable on the
maturity date, being January 6, 2010 (the “2007 Promissory
Note”). The 2007 Promissory Note also provides that the principal
amount may be automatically increased by an amount of up to $7,500 if the amount
of a customer claim is settled for less than $7,500. As of the date of this
report the principal amount has not been increased by an amount up to $7,500, as
described above. The shares were valued at $1,775,864 based on the
market value of the common stock the shares are convertible into.
As of
December 31, 2006, the balance due on the $225,560 was classified on the
Company’s balance sheet as an amount due from former subsidiary. This
item was classified as long-term as of December 31, 2006, in anticipation of its
conversion to a note receivable, the maturiy of which is more than one year from
the balance sheet date. Subsequently, upon execution of the 2007
Promissory Note on January 26, 2007, the Company reclassified the balance as a
long-term note receivable from former subsidiary.
CPS is
also indebted to CHDT under a promissory note in the original principal amount
of $250,000, executed by William Dato on June 27, 2006 and payable to CHDT,
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 funds advanced by CPS for portable generators
that were never delivered and (ii) $15,000 as an agreed amount paid to
compensate CPS for certain refunds required to be made by CPS (which amounts
have been first applied 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 Promissory Note to maturity (June 30, 2007) and then to
reduce the principal amount of the 2006 Promissory Note to
$210,900.
On March
10, 2008, the Company was granted a Final Summary judgment against CPS for
$501,740 related to the two notes due from CPS to the Company as part of the
disposal agreement entered into in January 2007. As of December
31, 2007, the Company determined these two notes to be uncollectible and
wrote-off $427,710 to expense. The Company is continuing with legal
action to collect this judgment.
The
Company disposed of its interest in CPS to further its goal of focusing on its
Capstone Industries consumer product business line in an effort to achieve
sustained profitability from low-coast, low inventory consumer products that are
direct shipped from Chinese and other low cost contract manufacturing sources to
the Company’s customers.

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.

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.

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, 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 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
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

Introduction
The
following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting:
(i) our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to the three months ended June 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. 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.
|
28
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 booklights, 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. 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. We expect to expand this product line in
fiscal year 2008 as retail placement develops.
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. We expect this category to expand with the release of
new products in fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.
STP®-branded
Automotive Accessories were also launched in October 2007. This product line
includes 200w, 400w, 800w and 1000w inverters, rechargeable Spotlights from 1
million candle power, up to 10 million candle power, 12v air compressor, garage
clocks, weather center, creeper, mechanics chair and bar stool and the STP®-branded
Tailgate Power – portable power station. We expect this category to
expand with the release of new products.
As a
small business issuer with limited resources, we do not have the resources to
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
29
funds
for planned business development efforts. These steps have
resulted in losses on a quarter-by-quarter basis for fiscal year 2007 and the
first 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
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s revenues were derived
from 3 sources: (i) the sale of our booklight and tasklight 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.
Despite
the recent efforts to make CHDT and its operations a focused and professionally
run organization, we continue to be hampered in our efforts to achieve sustained
profitability by problems that stem from the past and our history of failed
businesses.
The
failure of CHDT to achieve sustained profitability in its operations continues
to hamper our efforts to establish and sustain a profitable, growing
business. In fiscal year 2007, we had to continue our
historical reliance on raising working capital for operations and business and
product development by selling securities to investors and/or receiving loans or
investment from members of management or their affiliates. While we
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
30
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 June 30, 2008, the Company had a net loss from continuing
operations of approximately $512,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2007
the Company had a net loss from operations of $261,000. That is a net loss
increase of $251,000 over 2007 results. The major reason for this additional
loss was the increase over 2007 in Compensation Expense of $175,000 and General
Administrative Expense of $67,000. In the second quarter of 2007 we
did not have the full cost impact of the new management team.
Total Revenues: For the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had total sales of
approximately $695,000 and $389,000 respectively, for an increase of $306,000,
which represents a 78.7% increase over 2007. All of the revenue was generated by
CHDT’s Capstone subsidiary. In 2007, the $389,000
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 June 30, 2008, approximately 72%
($500,000) of the $695,000 revenue was shipped on a Direct Import basis (EX
China) and only 28% was shipped from our U.S. warehouse. 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. The increase in the Direct Import revenue is the result of
increased sales of STP® tools products to retailers.
Cost of Sales: For the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we had cost of sales of approximately
$495,000 and $209,000, respectively. This cost represents 71.2% and
53.7% respectively of total revenue. As a percentage of Total Revenue costs have
increased from the same period last year by 17.5%. This is a direct result of
the expanded mix of products now being sold. In first quarter 2007 Revenue were
primarily comprised of higher margin booklights purchased
domestically.
Gross Profit: For the three
months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit was approximately $199,000, increased
by approximately $18,000 or 9.9% over $181,000 in 2007. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales was 28.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to 46.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This Gross Profit
decrease is a direct response of our larger customers buying on a direct import
basis. The gross margins are lower in this selling scenario as indicated 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007, operating expenses were $711,000 and
$441,000 respectively. This is an increase of approximately $270,000 from
2007. This increase can be attributed to various factors, noted
below
Employee
compensation increased by $175,000 from $175,000 in the second quarter of 2007
to $350,000 in the second quarter of 2008. This was the result of hiring
executives to build up the management structure for CHDT and the hiring of
experienced sales executives to assist in launching Capstone’s new product
lines, STP-branded
tools and Simply
Comfort. CHDT also recognized in the compensation expense
approximately $106,000 for stock options granted in 2007 and
2008.
31
Consulting
Expenses increased by $17,000 from approximately $8,000 in the second quarter of
2007 to $25,000 in the second quarter 2008.
Other
General and administrative expenses increased approximately by $67,000 from
$187,000 in the second quarter of 2007 to $254,000 in the second quarter of
2008. The main reasons for the higher expenses in the quarter were
bank loan closing fees - $23,000, new product
packaging - $11,000 , product certification and testing -
$27,000. Other large expenses in the quarter
include directors and officers insurance premiums of
approximately $15,000, STP License costs:
$25,000,marketing allowances $15,000, equipment-tooling depreciation - $21,000,
Travel: $14,000,Trade & Shows $25,000, Office Rent
Expense: $21,000, Storage and Warehousing: $9,400. . The increased
expense was related to Capstone’s support
for the STP-branded tools product
line and additional expenses related to the CHDT management
infrastructure.
Other Income (Expense):
Interest Expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2008 by
approximately $15,000 from $25,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to
$40,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increased expense is the
result of new loans being executed by the Company.
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.
dollars is the currency of 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.
32
Interest Rate Risk. We do not have significant
interest rate risk during the fiscal quarter ending June 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.
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 June 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
motion 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. While we intend to
aggressively defend against the claims of the Plaintiffs, at trial or on appeal,
and we have been successful as of the date of this Report in such defense, an
adverse judgment against us and the absence of an affordable settlement in this
case could result in our insolvency (absent an emergency infusion of investor
capital).
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 withdrawn 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.
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.
34
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 June 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 June 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
35
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.
