CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.
Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and for the Nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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. 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 that time, a new reporting entity was created. Souvenir Direct, Inc. was 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. 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.
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.
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 distributors and retailers in the United States.
Nature of Business
Since the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company has been primarily engaged in the business of developing, marketing and selling consumer products through national and regional retailers and distributors, in North America. Capstone currently operates in four primary business segments: Task Lights, Power Failure Lights and Computer peripherals. The Company’s products are typically manufactured in the Peoples’ Republic of China by third-party manufacturing companies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
As of September 30th, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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 lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, consists of finished goods for resale by Capstone, totaling $757,128 and $397,908 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
BBI (previously “Overseas Building Supply, L.C.”) had inventory of $40,441 at December 31, 2007. During 2008, a director and shareholder of the Company took the remaining inventory of BBI and agreed to pay the Company for the cost of the inventory, which was $40,441. As a result, the inventory was removed from the balance sheet as an asset, and a shareholder receivable was recorded and disclosed in the equity section of the balance sheet.
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
|
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 2009 and the Third quarter of 2010.
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 $101,384 and $102,088 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired, either individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination), are initially recognized and measured based on 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.
The cost 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 circumstances 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. 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 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, 2009, whereas the fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount.
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, 2010 and 2009 are not presented as it would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the total number of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was 145,729,910 and 246,562,717, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts of the parent entity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Black Box Innovations, L.L.C., and Capstone Industries, Inc.
The results of operations attributable to subsidiaries are included in the consolidated results of operations beginning on the date on which the Company’s interest in a subsidiary was acquired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2010 and 2009 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2010 presentation. There were no material changes in classifications made to previously issued financial statements.
CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Product sales are recognized when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred, pricing is final or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a component of net sales in the period the allowances are recognized. In addition, accrued liabilities contained in the accompanying balance sheet include accruals for estimated amounts of credits to be issued in future years based on potentially defective product, other product returns and various allowances. These estimates could change significantly in the near term.
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion costs, including advertising, public relations, and trade show expenses, are expensed as incurred and included in Sales and Marketing expenses. Advertising and promotion expense was $106,423 and $113,284 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
The Company’s shipping and handling costs, incurred by Capstone amounted to $59,266 and $48,884 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities contained in the accompanying balance sheet include accruals for estimated amounts of credits to be issued in future years based on potentially defective products, other product returns and various allowances. These estimates could change significantly in the near term.
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 (now ASC 740) 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), (now ASC 718) 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).
CHDT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2008, 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.

.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 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2010 included $6,525 for consulting fees. Stock-based compensation expense for the Nine months ended September 30, 2009 included $21,000 for consulting fees.
Recent Accounting Standards
In April 2009, the FASB updated ASC 820 to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly. ASC 820 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The implementation of ASC 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB updated ASC 825 regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. ASC 825 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements. The implementation of ASC 825 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB updated ASC 320 for proper recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. ASC 320 provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. The implementation of ASC 320 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB created the Accounting Standards Codification, which is codified as ASC 105. ASC 105 establishes the codification as the single official non-governmental source of authoritative accounting principles (other than guidance issued by the SEC) and supersedes and effectively replaces previously issued GAAP hierarchy framework. All other literature that is not part of the codification will be considered non-authoritative. The codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The Company has applied the codification, as required, beginning with the 2009 Form 10-K. The adoption of the codification did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In June 2009, the FASB updated ASC 855, which established principles and requirements for subsequent events. This guidance details the period after the balance sheet date which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), which provided an update to ASC 605. ASU 2009-13 addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its Financial Statements.
Pervasiveness of EstimatesThe 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 its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions which minimize these risks. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had no 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.

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 maturity 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 has pursued legal action to collect this judgment, but it is now considered uncollectible.
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.
Capstone Industries
On September 13, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (Capstone), engaged in the business of producing and selling portable book lights and related consumer goods, and Stewart Wallach, the sole shareholder of Capstone. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Capstone Common Stock in exchange for $750,000 in cash (funded by a note payable to the Company’s CEO and $1.25 million of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, which Series “B” stock is convertible into 15.625 million “restricted” shares of CHDT Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (common stock). CHDT has agreed to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to cover conversion of the Series “B” Stock issued to Mr. Wallach in the acquisition of Capstone. Such registration has not been filed as of the date of this Report. CHDT will operate Capstone as a wholly-owned subsidiary. As of the date of this report these share have not been registered.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $3,900,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2029. 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.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES (continued)
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, 2008, 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, 2009 and 2008. 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 2006. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2009:

ESQUIRE TRADE & FINANCE INC. & INVESTOR, LLC v. (Case Number 03 CIV. 9650 (SC), decided November 5, 2009) (formerly styled “CELESTE TRUST REG., ESQUIRE TRADE, ET AL. V. CBQ, INC., Case Number 03 CIV. 9650 RMB) (“Celeste case”). The parties settled this case on February 18, 2010. A summary of the settlement is below. A stipulation withdrawing the plaintiff's appeal in the Celeste case was filed with and accepted by the court on February 8, 2010, which filing effectively ended the litigation in the Celeste case.
The settlement and release provides a mutual, general release of all claims that plaintiffs and Company may have against each other as the date of the release, including any causes of action or claims under the Celeste case and any related proceedings. The settlement provides, in part, that: (1) the parties will seek a court order dismissing the Celeste case; (2) the parties will release each other from any and all claims and causes of action in or related to the Celeste case or the pending appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court for the Second Circuit; (3) the plaintiffs will pay $100,000 towards the Company’s legal fees incurred in the Celeste case; (4) the Company will support the release of shares of Company Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) owned of record by Networkland, Inc., a Virginia corporation, (“NET”) and Technet Computer Services, Inc., a Virginia corporation, (“TECH”) to the plaintiffs or their designees (each such block of Common Stock was sought by the plaintiffs in the Celeste case as part of their claims against the Company (collectively, said shares of Common Stock held of record by NET and TECH being referred to as the “N&T Shares”)); (5) the issuance of 350,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Howard Ullman, a director of the Company, to the plaintiffs or their designees; and (6) the granting by Mr. Ullman of a five year option to purchase 20 million shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Ullman to the plaintiffs or their designees, which option has an exercise price of $0.029 per share. Under the proposed settlement agreement and release, the Company will grant piggy-back registration rights to the option and underlying shares of Common Stock referenced in (6) above, which rights will be effective after June 1, 2010. The Company will pay all registration fees and legal costs associated with any such registration, which are currently estimated to be approximately $3,000 to $5,000.
The settlement and release, which consists of a settlement agreement and release and option agreement by Mr. Ullman, was negotiated by Mr. Ullman on behalf of the Company with the plaintiffs. Mr. Ullman has provided case administration of the Celeste case for the Company.
The Company believes that the settlement and release is in the best interests of the Company and its public shareholders because (1) it will, when effective, eliminate the possibility of an adverse ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on the plaintiffs’ appeal, which adverse ruling could potentially impose a significant liability on the Company; and (2) the continuation of the Celeste case may discourage potential investors and funding sources from assisting the Company in financing operations and business development as well as make it more difficult to pursue any possible future merger and acquisition transactions.

NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCIES (continued)
The Company’s board of directors approved the general terms of the settlement and release on February 1, 2010, but approval and execution of all documents necessary to reaching a settlement and release was not achieved until the February 18, 2010 signing of the option granted by Mr. Ullman. A copy of the settlement agreement and release and the option granted by Mr. Ullman are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to the Form 8-K, dated February 19, 2010 and filed by the Company with the Commission on February 22, 2010).

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 ownership claims to date to the preferred stock in question and the claimants have not pursued their claims beyond an initial communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock. The Company did not maintain preferred stock ownership records with a stock transfer agent at the time in question and has to rely on available internal records in this matter. The Company has not received any further claims or communications since mid-2006. Since the Company has no record of the claimants as preferred stock shareholders, the Company is taking the position that they are no shareholders of record and the alleged redeemable preferred stock is not issued and outstanding.
NOTE 12 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During 2008, the Company had capitalized $168,900 related to packaging artwork and design costs related to the Company’s AASTP products and Lighting products as intangible assets. These costs are being amortized over their useful life, which the Company has determined to be two years. During 2008, the Company recorded $65,200 of amortization expense related to these assets. During 2009, the Company capitalized an additional $37,142 related to packaging artwork and design costs and recognized amortization expense of $96,086 during the year. During 2010, the Company capitalized an additional $18,675 and recorded $33,554 of amortization expense related to these assets. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net amount of the intangible asset was $29,877 and $44,756, respectively.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company adopted ASC 855, and has evaluated all events occurring after September 30, 2010, the date of the most recent balance sheet, for possible adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures. The Company has concluded that there are no significant or material transactions to be reported for the period from October 1, 2010 to the date of filing.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General – CHDT Corporation, a Florida corporation, (“CHDT,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a public holding company with its Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “CHDO.OB.” This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Forward Looking Statements
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, as well as historical information. The expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect or could change with changing circumstances. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors – many of those factors being beyond our control or ability to predict. Forward-looking statements include those that use forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. 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. The Company is a “penny stock” under Commission rules and the public stock market price for its Common Stock has been depressed for several consecutive fiscal quarters. The Company’s Common Stock lacks sufficient or active market maker and institutional investor support in the public market and this lack of support, coupled with successive fiscal quarters of financial losses, means that any increase in the per share price of our Common Stock in the public market is usually eliminated by selling pressure from profit taking by investors. As of November 11th, 2010, the Common Stock was trading at below one cent and consistently traded below one cent for most of fiscal year 2010. Investment in our Common Stock is highly risky and should only be considered by investors who can afford to lose their investment and do not require liquidity. Investors should consider other risk factors in this Report and other SEC filings of the Company, including the Form 10-K Report for December 31, 2009.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the above and all other applicable risk and other factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law, 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, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009; and (ii) financial liquidity and capital resources.
Through our operating subsidiaries, we are a developer and manufacturer of niche consumer products selling to primarily distributors and retailers in the United States. Our Capstone Industries, Inc. (“Capstone”) subsidiary currently operates in five primary business segments: Reading Lights, Task Lights, Power Failure Lighting, Wireless Motion Sensor Lights, and Computer Peripherals.
Our growth strategy has four main elements:
|
1.
|
Introduce our new product lines to more departments 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 categories; and
|
|
4.
|
Through acquiring businesses that have innovative products that would complement our existing marketing strategies or allow the company to diversify into other markets (although the depressed level of our Common Stock has made any acquisitions impractical) .
|
Capstone Lighting products specialize in value priced, 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, multi-task lights, Eco power failure lights, Wireless Motion Censor Lights and also offers “Private Label” programs marketed to major retailers. “Private Label” is the manufacture of products by a company and those products are sold under the name or trade name of the manufacturer or manufacturer’s retailers, distributors or bulk buyers. In March 2009 at the International Hardware Show, Capstone launched a new and expanded line of booklights and multi-tasklights under the name PathwayLights™. In March 2010 at the International Housewares show the PathwayLights™ continued to expand the line with the ebooklite specifically designed to provide lighting for the eReader ebook products and the Retro Taskbright series, which is a collection of trendy colored tasklights in a Retro look design.
In 2008 Capstone also launched the Eco-i-Lite Power Failure Lights. In March 2009, Capstone launched additional Eco-i –Lite products in new trendy colors. In 2010 also at the International Housewares Show the Midi sized Eco-i-Lite was launched as well as new motif designs such as the PAWPRINT designed as a Dog Walking Light. In March 2010 at the International Housewares Show, Capstone also launched the C-LITE™, a new line of “Wireless Motion Sensor Lights” These products were specifically designed to provide portable lighting in areas that may need lighting for enhanced security such as lighting a foyer or in areas that would not have available normal electrical service such as in an attic. The products have intended to have unique feature sets that adapt to various uses.
In March 2010, also at the International Housewares Show, Capstone launched the Light Ringers™ Lamps. This program offers 12 and 20 LED Lamps in trendy colors powered by AA batteries, Rechargeable batteries, and Direct Current.
STP®-branded tools were launched in October 2007. This product line included the new technology lithium batteries for the 3.6v, 4.0v, 8.0v screwdrivers and 12v and 20v drill driver lines.
STP®-branded Automotive Accessories were also launched in October 2007. This product line included 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 centers.
However, after initial successes in this business category, the STP®-branded line has been impacted by the continued severe economic downturn in the retail market especially in the Hardware and Automotive segments as well as usual and customary impact of competitive products. After exhausting our efforts in this market, it is evident that this category will remain severely depressed and slow to recover as a result of the recession and we do not plan to continue marketing this line beyond 2010. We have reduced our marketing and sales effort for STP®-branded line to focus on more successful product lines.
As a small reporting company with limited resources, we do not have the resources to compete head-to-head with larger, more established competitors for any of the products. We face many national or regional brand-named competitors in all of our product lines. However we attempt to compete by leveraging the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of our Chinese contract manufacturers in order to provide quality products with more functions at what we deem to be a value price and supported. We believe that we can compete in most of our product lines, subject to targeted marketing or competitive tactics by larger and/or more established competitors. We have had to rely on loans from members of management from time to time to finance product purchases for orders and working capital.. Such funding may or may not be available in the future.
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 exception; (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 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 business issuer; 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 continued losses in 2009. but we believe that this investment in corporate infrastructure is necessary to lay the foundation for any hope of future success and effective business and product development. While we are not certain that our current strategy and business lines 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. In light of continuing losses, our board of directors is reviewing alternative business strategies, which include sale of an existing business line, acquisition of new product lines, merger or acquisition transactions with other companies and discontinuing one or more business lines. While no board decision has been made on any of these possible corporate transactions or actions, our board continues to periodically evaluate and consider such options.
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s revenues were derived from 4 sources: (i) the sale of our booklight products (Capstone and its booklight product line was acquired by CHDT in September 2006); (ii) sale of Eco-i-Lite Power Failure Lights, (iii) sale of our Black Box Innovations USB computer peripherals and (iv) STP® tools power drills and automotive accessories;
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 in part from the past and our history of failed businesses and in part from current recession, in which our kind of consumer goods are not an essential purchase. 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 2009 and through 2010 to date, we had to continue our historical reliance on raising working capital for operations and product development by selling securities to investors and/or receiving loans or investment from members of management or their affiliates. We were able to obtain a factoring financial agreement to help support Capstone operations and working capital needs, however we may have to continue to raise working capital for CHDT and working capital for Capstone business and product development (as well as any possible 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 significant number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, significantly 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. The market price for our Common Stock has consistently trended downward in the during fiscal year 2010 and this trend only increases our difficulty in pursuing our business plan or any alternatives thereto as well as hampers our efforts to fund such operations or plans.
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 1989. CHDT did not, and perhaps could not under then current circumstances, do an underwritten initial public offering and produce 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 or maintaining stability in the market for our 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 have attempted to address and intend to continue to address the above problems in public and market maker support for our Common Stock by: (1) seeking to establish revenue growth 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, if ever, 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) from time to time and when deemed practical by our management, seek investment banker assistance in developing a strategic plan, including an acquisition plan, to dramatically grow CHDT, in our core business line or in other market opportunities. We can make no assurances that we shall succeed in this effort and our efforts to date have not resulted in profitability or substantial improvement in the market for our Common Stock.
We intend to remain focused on niche 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. Subject to adequate funding, we intend to develop new products by internal efforts as well as acquire new products by mergers and acquisitions. We may pursue new product lines and/or end or sell existing business lines. We may consider a change in our product or business lines in order to pursue potentially more profitable product lines or business lines.

This also represents a $698,215 or 368% increase from the $189,377 gross profit in the second quarter ending 06-30-10. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, gross profit was approximately $1,191,748 and 1,490,132 respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 29.4 % and 30.0% respectively and for the 9 months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 30% and 30% respectively. The gross profit percentage during 2010 has remained steady as compared to 2009 despite competitive pressures to provide additional marketing incentives.
Total Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $655,692 and $658.931 respectively. This was a slight decrease of approximately $3,239 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $192,393 and $36,556 respectively. This large expense increase from 2009 is mainly attributed to Royalty payments of $67,500 to STP and $ 87,030 spent on advertising, promotion and marketing allowances during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, sales and marketing expenses were $379,110 and $113,284 an increase of $265,826. This includes $192,500 of STP License fees which will end in the third quarter 2010.
Compensation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $247,629 and $292,232 respectively. This is a reduction of $44,603 or 15.2% due to salary reductions by Executive Management in the quarter. Compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30. 2010 and 2009 were $755,039 and $874,114 respectively. This is a reduction of $119,075 or 13.6% for the nine months as compared the same period in 2009.
Professional Fees for the three months ended September 30th, 2010 and 2009 were $43,502 and $83,667 respectively. A reduction of $40,165 or 48%. For the nine months ended September 30th 2010 and 2009 expenses were $109,541 and $201,973 respectively a decrease of $92,432 or 45.7%

General Administration for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $127,581 and $190,741 respectively. This was a reduction of $63,160 or 33.1% in the quarter as compared to 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $344,889 and $624,677 respectively. This was a reduction of $279,688 or 44.8%% for the nine months as compared to the same period 2009.
Net Operating Income (Loss) for the three months ended September 30th, 2010 and 2009 was $231,900 and $68,683 respectively. This is an increase of $163,217 or 237.6% higher than same period last year and $501,952 higher than the net income (loss) for the 2nd quarter ending June 30th, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30th, 2010 and 2009 were $(512,097) and $(475,819) respectively.
Other Income (Expense): Interest Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $101,724 and $67,548 respectively, an increase of $34,176 or 50.5%. This expense increase is the result of additional loans required to fund working capital and customer orders. For the nine months ended September30, 2010 and 2009 expenses were $183,765 and $198,179 a reduction of $14,414 or 7.3%
Net Income (Loss): The Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $130,176 and $1,135 respectively. Net Income increased $129,041 over the same quarter last year. The Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $695,862 and $673,941 respectively. The improved net income performance in the third quarter 2010 has allowed us to reduce the net loss as of June 30th, 2010 from $(826,040) down to $(695,862).
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 increase costs. We generally have been able to reduce cost increases by strong negotiating or re-engineering products, but we will have to increase the price of our products in fiscal year 2010 in response to such inflationary pressures. Since we operate in industries where the consumer tends to be price sensitive, any such increase in the prices of our products may adversely impact our sales and financial results in fiscal year 2010.
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 otherworld 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. The currency issue may produce a conflict between the U.S. and China that affects trade or commerce between those nations and may affect us as well.
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 , 2010.
Credit Risk. We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term National customers with superior payment records. Our managers monitor our receivables closely.
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, 2010 and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act and as of November 10, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Commission regulations and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
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-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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.
ESQUIRE TRADE & FINANCE INC. & INVESTOR, LLC v. CBQ, Inc. (former name of our company)(Case Number 03 CIV. 9650 (SC), decided November 5, 2009) (formerly styled “CELESTE TRUST REG., ESQUIRE TRADE, ET AL. V. CBQ, INC., Case Number 03 CIV. 9650 RMB) (“Celeste case”). The parties settled this case by mutual agreement on February 18, 2010. A summary of the settlement is below. A stipulation withdrawing the plaintiffs’ appeal in the Celeste case was filed with and accepted by the court on March 8, 2010, which filing effectively ended the litigation in the Celeste case between the parties. With the entry of the stipulation, there is no pending litigation in this matter.
The settlement and release provides a mutual, general release of all claims that plaintiffs and the Company may have against each other as the date of the release, including any causes of action or claims under the Celeste case and any related proceedings. The settlement provides, in part, that: (1) the parties will seek a court order dismissing the Celeste case (which is the above referenced stipulation); (2) the parties will release each other from any and all claims and causes of action in or related to the Celeste case or the pending appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court for the Second Circuit; (3) the plaintiffs will pay $100,000 towards the Company’s legal fees incurred in the Celeste case, which will go to legal counsel for the Company; (4) the Company will support the release of shares of Company Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) owned of record by Networkland, Inc., a Virginia corporation, (“NET”) and Technet Computer Services, Inc., a Virginia corporation, (“TECH”) to the plaintiffs or their designees (each such block of Common Stock was sought by the plaintiffs in the Celeste case as part of their claims against the Company) (collectively, said shares of Common Stock held of record by NET and TECH being referred to as the “N&T Shares”)); (5) the issuance of 350,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Howard Ullman, a director of the Company, to the plaintiffs or their designees; and (6) the granting by Mr. Ullman of a five year option to purchase 20 million shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Ullman to the plaintiffs or their designees, which option has an exercise price of $0.029 per share. Under the settlement agreement and release, the Company will grant piggy-back registration rights to the option and underlying shares of Common Stock referenced in (6) above, which rights will be effective after June 1, 2010. The Company will pay all registration fees and legal costs associated with any such registration, which are currently estimated to be approximately $5,000.
The settlement and release, which consists of a settlement agreement and release and option agreement by Mr. Ullman, was negotiated by Mr. Ullman on behalf of the Company with the plaintiffs. Mr. Ullman has provided case administration of the Celeste case for the Company in his capacity as a Company director (with assistance from a former company officer and director).
The Company believes that the settlement and release is in the best interests of the Company and its public shareholders because (1) it will eliminate the possibility of an adverse ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on the plaintiffs’ appeal, which adverse ruling could potentially impose a significant liability on the Company; and (2) the continuation of the Celeste case may discourage potential investors and funding sources from assisting the Company in financing operations and business development as well as make it more difficult to pursue any possible future merger and acquisition transactions, and (3) it may have suppressed the market price of the Company Common Stock due to the potentially significant liability presented by the case to the Company.
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 ownership claims to date to the preferred stock in question and the claimants have not pursued their claims beyond an initial communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock. The Company did not maintain preferred stock ownership records with a stock transfer agent at the time in question and has to rely on available internal records in this matter. The Company has not received any further claims or communications since mid-2006. Since the Company has no record of the claimants as preferred stock shareholders, the Company is taking the position that they are no shareholders of record and the alleged redeemable preferred stock is not issued and outstanding.
Other Legal Matters. To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors, officers or owners 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There were no unregistered issuances of Company securities in the quarter ending September 30, 2010.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
No matters were voted on or presented for shareholder approval in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010.

None.
