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.

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 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.   With the name change, the trading symbol was changed to “CHDO.”

Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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 months.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

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: Induction Charged Power Failure Lights, Motion Sensor Lights, Portable Book and Task Lights and Desk Lamps.  The Company’s products are typically manufactured in the Peoples’ Republic of China by third-party manufacturing companies.

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 March 31, 2012, 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 $661,337 and $58,717 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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

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 2011 or the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

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 $8,727 and $13,112for the period ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

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, 2011, 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.  At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the total number of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents was155,446,577 and 151,651,877 respectively.

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

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 include the accounts of the parent entity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Capstone Lighting Technologies, L.L.C (formerly 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 cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

·  
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·  
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
·  
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.  There were no material changes in classifications made to previously issued financial statements.

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 $28,615 and $ 23,670 for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012 the company has $275,019 in capitalized advertising costs included in prepaid expenses on the balance sheet.

Shipping and Handling

The Company’s shipping and handling costs, incurred by Capstone amounted to $11,662 and $28,826 for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

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

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.  ASC 718 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 ASC 718.  The Company has applied the provision of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718.

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 day of the Company’s fiscal year.  The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and later, 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)ASC 718 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 ASC 718, 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 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 ASC 718.

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 718, 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.  ASC 718 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, 2011, 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 ASC 718, 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 1, 2008, 850,000 of the above stock options were canceled and on May 23, 2008, 74,666,667 of the above stock options were cancelled.  For year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $405,198 related to these options.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense of $156,557 related to these options.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a compensation expense of $156,558 related to these options. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized compensation expense of $52,186 related to these options. No further compensation expense will be recognized for these options.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $8,250. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $15,484

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments include (1) those that clarify the Board's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (2) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way (for example, using the word shall rather than should to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP). The amendments that clarify the Board's intent about the application of  existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements include (a) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, (b) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity, and (c) disclosures about fair value measurements that clarify that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The amendments in this Update that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements include (a) measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, (b) application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and (c) additional disclosures about fair value measurements that expand the disclosures about fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).”  Under the amendments in this Update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income.  The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures.  The Company’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).”  In order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Update 2011-05. The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05.All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

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 revenue 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 March 31, 2012, 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.

Major Customers

The Company had three customers who comprised at least ten percent (10%) of gross revenue during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The loss of these customers would adversely impact the business of the Company.  The percentage of gross revenue and the accounts receivable from each of these customers is as follows:

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2011, 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 2031. 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 carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

Increase (Decrease) in Valuation Allowance
    (84,000 )     155,000  
    $ -     $ -  

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations.  When circumstances change and cause a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income.

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, 2011 and 2010.  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 2008. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2011:

NOTE 9 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company capitalized $5,570 and $16,755 at March 31, 2012 and December   31, 2011 respectively, related to packaging artwork and design costs., The Company recognized amortization expense of $3,447   and $22,027 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively, related to these assets.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net amount of the intangible asset was $15,747 and $13,624 respectively.

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 OTCQB system of The OTC Markets, Inc. under the trading symbol “CHDO.”  Prior to February 23, 2011, the Common Stock was quoted on the Bulletin Board of the Over-the-Counter quotation system 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, 2011.

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 May 1, 2012, the Common Stock was trading above one cent on the Bid Investment in our Common Stock, which 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 risk factors in this Report and other SEC filings of the Company.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the above and all other applicable 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 provides an introduction to our company, its strategy and customers and summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our consolidated results of operations for the three months and year to date ended March 31, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 and (ii) final liquidity and capital resources.

We are a public holding Company organized under the laws of the State of Florida and are a leading designer and manufacturer of specialty power failure lighting solutions and innovator of consumer products for the North American and Latin American retail markets.  We develop, manufacture and sell a broad range of stylish, innovative and easy to use consumer products including portable booklights, specialty booklights, multi-task lights, e reader lights, power failure lights and night lights, wireless motion sensor lights and desk lamps that are designed to make today’s lifestyles simpler and safer.  Our products are sold under our wholly-owned subsidiary Capstone Industries Inc. brand name as well as being private labeled for our retailer customers.  CHDT Corporation seeks to deliver strong, consistent business results and superior shareholder returns by providing consumers on a global basis with products that make their lives simpler and safer.

We oversee the manufacturing of our products, which are all made in China by contract manufacturers, through our two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries; (a) Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation organized in 1997 and acquired on September 13, 2006 (“Capstone”) and (b) Capstone Lighting Technologies, a Florida limited liability Company (“CLTL”) formerly known as Black Box Innovations, L.L.C., a Florida limited liability Company (“BBIL”) formerly known as “Overseas Building Supply, L.C.” and formed on February 20, 2004.  CLTL has no significant business operations at this time.

Strategy

Our growth strategy is to develop and maintain positions of innovative and technical leadership by continually introducing new ideas and concepts to our consumer product categories while maintaining low competitive prices.  We plan to leverage our product successes and continually expanding channels as our brands continue to gain traction at retail levels by merchandisers, buyers and consumers.  This brand recognition and expanded product placement is expected to continue to increase annual sales growth.  We also plan to selectively acquire business with similar technical capabilities that could benefit from our leadership position and strategic direction.

 
21

 

We have extensive experience with introducing new products into retail market channels and believe that provides us a competitive edge.  Typically, we seek to find niche product opportunities that may be overlooked or underexploited by competitors, and believe that we can win a profitable niche of the market share.  We believe these opportunities exist with innovative, aesthetically-pleasing products that include the following characteristics:

·  
Designed for an everyday use or task;
·  
Affordable, that is we can produce with a reasonable profit within the range of manufacturer’s suggested retail price for such a product
·  
Represent value when compared with items produced or marketed by major consumer product companies on a national scale; and
·  
Generates reasonable profit and profit margin opportunity with acceptable market penetration costs.

We believe that it can be more economical and efficient to develop and manufacture certain products in China and have them shipped to the United States rather than to have such products produced in North America.  While this resource is available to and used by large numbers of U.S. companies, including our competitors, we believe this Chinese manufacturing resource gives us the level of production cost and quality that allows us to be competitive with larger competitors in the United States.  In Hong Kong, we also have personnel experienced in Engineering and Design, Product Development, International Logistics and Quality Control, who work   with our OEM Chinese factories to develop and prototype new product concepts and to ensure products meet Consumer Product Regulations and rigorous Quality Control standards.  All products are tested by certified testing laboratories, before and during production by company personnel and certified testing laboratories.  This team also provides extensive, product development, quality control and logistics support to our factory partners to ensure on time shipments.  The Company plans to expand its staff in Hong Kong and the Company’s relative presence in 2012 as product line extensions and increased number of factories utilized become factors.

Products and Customers

We are an innovative company in the design and development of a variety of lighting and other products that consumers would typically buy for functional purposes that we design for expanded use as well as improved aesthetics.  Our current largest selling product group is the Eco-i-Lite power failure light and nightlight program, which accounted for 57.7%, of our revenue in 2011, 63.8%, of our revenue in 2010, and 61.05% and, of our revenue in 2009.  Our other products include Light Ringers® Lamps, Pathway Lights® book and multi-task lights, Battery Powered Wireless Motion Sensor Lights and eBook-Lite, e reader lights.  We also plan to expand our product line into other growing lighting and security segments specific to different region and market demands.

Since inception, we have focused on establishing and growing relationships with numerous leading international, national and regional retailers including but not limited to: Target, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Costco, BJ’s Warehouse, Barnes & Noble, Brookstone, Meijer Stores, Office Depot, Fred Meyer-Kroger Stores, The Container Store, True Value, and Home Depot.  These distribution channels may sell our products through the internet as well as through retail storefronts and catalogs/mail order.

Our experience in management, operations, and the export business has enabled us to develop the scale, manufacturing efficiencies and design expertise that serves as the foundation for us to aggressively pursue niche product opportunities in the largest consumer markets and growing international market opportunities.  While we have traditionally generated the majority of our sales in the domestic market, urbanization, rising family incomes and increased living standards have spurred demand for small consumer appliances internationally.  In order to capture this market opportunity, we introduced the Capstone Industries brand of power failure lights to Central and South American markets through our master distributor Avtek.  Due to the rate of natural and man-made occurrences resulting in loss of electricity worldwide, we are optimistic about the potential growth rate in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 for our power failure lighting (assuming sufficient marketing support and subject to the response of competitors and key markets).

We believe CHDT is positioned to become a leading manufacturer in the rapidly growing home emergency lighting and security lighting sector and will continue to be a potential leader of power-failure lighting solutions for consumers in our industry segment.  Despite the global recession in 2008, 2009 and 2010, we believe that we were able to maintain our revenue growth because of our ability to deliver products on time, the quality reputation of our products, our business relationships with our retailers and our aggressive expansion in the North American and Latin American markets.

Sales and Marketing

CHDT’s products are marketed primarily through a direct independent sales force, distributors and wholesalers.  The sales force markets our products through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, department stores and hardware centers.  We actively promote our products to retailers and distributors at North American trade shows, but rely on the retail sales channels to advertise our products directly to the end consumer.  Domestically and internationally, the sales teams market our full portfolio of product offerings.  All sales activities at major account levels involve direct company executive staff participation.

During the quarter, we expanded our approach on how we deliver product to our customers by implementing a domestic distribution program which includes warehousing inventory for expected customer requirements that we can deliver on demand for shelf stocking in their stores.  The change was made to expand distribution to such noted retailers as Home Depot, Target, Walmart, and Office Depot for non promotional periods, enabling retailers to stock our products daily and replenish based on the rate of sales.  The first retailers to endorse this formal domestic program add an estimated 4,800 increase in stores across the country that will have our products available for their retail customers.  The revenue of these increased outlets will be recognized over the course of 2012 with launch dates starting as early as April 2012. Historically, we only sold large, bulk shipment promotional program lots that were shipped directly from our operations in China.  This approach was not conducive to our customers’ regular shelf stocking to meet pull-through retail customer demand, but suited well for event driven promotional programs.  Having developed a strong response from the retail customer through these promotional campaigns, our customers wanted to have a regular on demand supply of product for regular shelf stocking.  The Company anticipates this domestic program to be incremental to its existing direct import programs and moreover it has opened the doors to retailers including Home Depot and Walmart.  This will require greater working capital requirements which will be available from existing sources

As a result of the change in our model to address regular stocking, we expect our revenue stream will become steadier throughout the quarter and less lumpy than it has been historically.  Therefore, during 2012 there will be periods when the comparatives will be unusual during the transition and as we build scale, but will help to normalize the business by minimizing the spikes in activity associated with the majority of the Company's historic business being promotional or seasonal.  The large backlog that is traditionally evident in the Company for its direct import orders we expect to be reduced as the business for the domestic distribution program is more evenly spread over the course of the year and orders are generated based on point of sale activity, not in anticipation of promotions.

Working Capital Requirements

As noted above, during the quarter the Company transitioned from a primarily direct import business model to a domestic distribution program.  The Company's previous business model (primarily direct import) was intended to serve very large promotional programs as retailers elected to have them.  Because parts and components for our products can be quickly developed by our contract manufacturers, we could supply very large shipments for the advance orders for the promotional programs which eliminated the need to carry large amounts of inventory.  Our direct import program business model, resulted in large infrequent orders, and the Company could have at any point in time within a reporting period a large amount of work in process inventory or finished goods on hand as we completed the order for shipment.  Under the domestic distribution model, we expect smaller, frequent orders as we meet shelving demand of our customers based on the rate of sales requiring higher levels of inventory to meet the expected increase in regular demand.

Competitive Conditions

The consumer products and small electronics businesses are highly competitive, both in the United States and on a global basis, as large manufacturers with global operations compete for consumer acceptance and, increasingly, limited retail shelf space.  Competition is based upon brand perceptions, product performance, customer service and price.  Social media has a growing impact on consumer response to products and brands.

Our principal lighting competitors in the U.S. are General Electric (Jasco), Energizer, Sylvania, Zelco and Lightwedge, LLC.  We believe private-label sales by large retailers has some impact on the market in some parts of the world as many national retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Costco offer lighting as part of their  private branded product lines.

With trends and technology continually changing, CHDT will continue to develop and introduce new products and color options at competitive pricing.  Success in the markets we serve depends upon product innovation, pricing, retailer support, responsiveness and cost management.  We continue to invest in developing the technologies and design critical to competing in our markets.

Raw Materials

The principal raw materials used by us are sourced in China, as we manufacture our products exclusively through contract manufacturers in the region.  Although prices of materials have fluctuated over time, CHDT believes that adequate supplies of raw materials required for its operations are available at the present time.  CHDT, of course, cannot predict the future availability or prices of such materials.  These raw materials are generally available from a number of different sources, and the prices of those raw materials are susceptible to currency fluctuations and price fluctuations due to transportation, government regulations, price controls, economic climate, or other unforeseen circumstances.  In the past, CHDT has not experienced any significant interruption in availability of raw materials.  We believe we have extensive experience in manufacturing and have taken positions to assure supply and to protect margins on anticipated sales volume.

Prior History:

Prior to the acquisition of Capstone Industries, we experienced a high turnover in management and business lines.  We have sought to avoid the problems of the past and recruited an experienced management and sales team for the stated purpose to develop and expand our consumer products business.  We believe that this investment in corporate infrastructure was necessary to lay the foundation for any hope of future success and effective business and product development.  While we are not certain 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 or any growth.  2011 has proven to be our best performing year since 2007 and is our first profitable year.  Our board of directors continues to review alternate business strategies, which may include sale of an existing business line, acquisition of new product lines, and merger and/or acquisition transaction with other companies.  While no board decision has been made on any of these corporate transactions or actions, our board continues to periodically evaluate and consider such options.

Acquisition of Capstone:  on September 15, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone and Stewart Wallach, the sole shareholder, a director and a senior executive officer of Capstone.  Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Capstone Common Stock in exchange for $750,000 in cash (funded by a credit line provided by certain directors of CHDT) and $1.25 million in Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, which Series B Stock is convertible into 15.625 million “restricted” shares of our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”).  On July 9, 2009, the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares were converted to Series B-1 Preferred Shares.  The series B-1 shares were convertible into common stock; at a rate of 66.66 of common shares for each share of series “B-1” On December 17, 2009.

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS

For the 3 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had total net sales of approximately $338,700 and $2,417,500 respectively.  The $2,078,800, or 86%, decline reflects the variability of timing of orders and shipments associated with our Direct Import business model, as revenue fluctuates from quarter to quarter, depending on when a retailer plans to promote the product.  In the first quarter March 31, 2012, we did not ship any promotional programs.  These programs are planned for later in the year.

For the 3 months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit was approximately $107,800 a reduction of approximately $483,300 or 81.7% from the first quarter 2011 gross profit of $591,300.  The gross profit reduction compared with the same period last year was a direct result of reduced shipments in the quarter.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.8% for the quarter compared with 24.5% for the same period 2011.  The increased gross profit percentage of sales of 7.3% in the quarter as compared with the same period 2011 was the result of the sale of higher margin products in the quarter.

For the 3 months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $348,200 as compared with a net profit in the same period last year of $107,100.  That is a net income reduction of $455,300 compared with the first quarter 2011 results.

For the 3 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, costs of sales were approximately $230,800 and $1,826,200 respectively.  This represents 68.1% and 75.5% respectively of total Net Revenue, which represents a decrease of 7.4% over the same quarter last year.  The lower cost of sales as a percent to sales has improved as we have sold new products with a higher blended margin.

Operating expenses for the first quarter 2012 were approximately $424,100 as compared with $408,400 in 2011, a net increase of $15,700 or 3.8%.

For the 3 month ending March 31, 2012, interest expenses were approximately $31,900 a reduction of $43,800 or 57.9% as compared with $75,700 expensed in the same quarter 2011.  The reduction in interest expense as compared with 2011 was the result of a lower volume of loans required to fund the purchase of product overseas during the quarter.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK

Operating profit, as presented below, is sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses excluding interest expense, and other non-operating revenue and expenses.  Cost of sales and operating expenses are directly attributable to the respective segment.

It is our intention to continue investing in capabilities and technologies as needed that allows us to execute our strategy to increase sales and production volume in all markets that we serve.  The rate of spending on these activities, however, will continue to be driven by market opportunities.

With the current retail interest in our product offerings, expansion of distribution channels through the domestic purchase program and the launch of exciting new products this year, the Company expects its sales volumes to continue to grow and produce revenue in the range of $15 million to $20 million within the next one to two fiscal years, subject to economic conditions not deteriorating.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our limited borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations and reinvest in our business.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first quarter was approximately $455 thousand in 2012 compared with approximately $(462) thousand in the prior year period.  The increase of $917 thousand as compared with the first quarter 2011 was a result of collections of outstanding Accounts Receivable.  This helped to more than offset the $603 thousand invested in the quarter to increase domestic inventory in order to launch the Company’s new domestic Sales business model.

Our cash flow from operations is primarily dependent on our net income adjusted for non-cash expenses and the timing of collections of receivables, level of inventory and payments to suppliers.  Sales are influenced significantly by the build rates of products, which are subject to general economic conditions.  Our sales are also impacted by our ability to obtain new orders.  Over time, sales will also be impacted by our success in executing our strategy to increase productivity volume.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities in the first quarter of 2012 was approximately $2 thousand.  Cash used for investing activities in 2011 and 2010 were $2 thousand and $ 6 thousand respectively.  Cash flows used in investing activities for all three years were due primarily to capital expenditures to expand design and production capacity.  Our expectation for 2012 is that we will invest between $250 thousand and $500 thousand.  Future capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including expansion of existing product lines and introduction of new products.  Management believes that our cash flow from operations and current borrowing sources will provide for these necessary capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is highly dependent upon achieving expected operating results.  Failure to achieve expected operating results could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, our ability to obtain financing and our operations in the future.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants pursuant to existing credit facilities.  The Company’s cash needs for working capital, debt service and capital equipment during 2012 are expected to be met by cash flows from operations and cash balances, the existing bank loan facility and if necessary additional notes payable funding from established sources.

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, volume purchases or re-engineering products, but may have to increase the price of our products in fiscal year 2012 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 2012.

Country Risks- Changes in foreign, cultural, political and financial market conditions could impair CHDT’s international manufacturing operations and financial performance.
 
CHDT’s manufacturing is currently conducted in China.  Consequently, CHDT is subject to a number of significant risks associated with manufacturing business in China, including:
 

 
26

 

·  
the possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation or price controls;
 
·  
adverse changes in local investment or exchange control regulations;
 
·  
political or economic instability, government nationalization of business or industries, government corruption, and civil unrest;
 
·  
legal and regulatory constraints;
 
·  
tariffs and other trade barriers; and
 
·  
difficulty in enforcing contractual and intellectual property rights.
 
Currency- Currency fluctuations may significantly increase CHDT’s expenses and affect the results of operations, especially where the currency is subject to intense political and other outside pressure.
 
All of CHDT’s sales in the first quarter ending March 31, 2012 and in fiscal 2011 were transacted in U.S. dollars, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies can negatively impact our operating profits, through higher unit costs.  However, as the company volumes continue to increase the leveraged buying power has enabled the Company to minimize the impact on costs.  The recent economic crises revealed that exchange rates can be highly volatile.  Changes in currency exchange rates may also affect the relative prices at which CHDT and our competitors sell products in the same market.  There can be no assurance that the U.S. dollar foreign exchange rates will be stable in the future or that fluctuations in such rates will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
 
Interest Rate Risk- We do not have significant interest rate risk during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012.

Credit Risk- We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records.  Our managers monitor our receivables regularly and our Direct Import Programs are shipped to only the most financially stable customers or advance payments before shipment are required for those accounts less financially secured.

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 March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012, 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 controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The certifications of our chief executive officer and chief financial officers attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 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 Item 4, including the information incorporated by reference to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.
