PROXY
STATEMENT
FOR
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To
Be Held on September 24, 2009
INFORMATION
CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
The Board
of Directors of China Sky One Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation, seeks your
proxy for use at our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or any adjournment,
postponement or rescheduling thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on
Friday, September 24, 2009, at 9:30 AM, local time. Our Annual
Meeting will be held at Harbin ShenTe Hotel, No. 58, Gan Shui Road, Nangang
District, Harbin, People’s Republic of China 150090. Unless otherwise indicated,
or the context requires otherwise, references in this Proxy Statement to “China
Sky,” “we,” “us,” and “our” or similar terms are references to China Sky One
Medical, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The approximate date on which this Proxy
Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being sent or given to
stockholders is August 28, 2009.
WHAT
AM I VOTING UPON?
At the
Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to take action:
|
(i)
|
to
elect seven (7) directors, as described in this Proxy Statement;
and
|
|
(ii)
|
to
transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual
Meeting.
|
WHO
CAN VOTE?
Only
holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on July 28, 2009,
the record date, will receive notice of, and be entitled to vote at, our Annual
Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, 16,652,016
shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, were outstanding and entitled
to vote. Our common stock is our only class of outstanding voting
securities.
Stockholder
of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If, on July 28, 2009, your shares were registered directly in
your name with our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., then you
are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person
at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we
urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is
counted. By returning a properly signed and dated proxy card, you are
authorizing the individuals listed on the proxy card to vote your shares in accordance with your
instructions.
Beneficial
Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or
Agent
If, on
July 28, 2009, the record date, your shares were held, not in your name, but
rather in an account at a bank, brokerage firm, or other agent or nominee, then
you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy
materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization
holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of
voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to
direct your bank, broker or other agent or nominee on how to vote the shares in
your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since
you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at
the meeting unless you request and obtain a power of attorney or other proxy
authority from your bank, broker or other agent or nominee, and bring it to our
Annual Meeting.
WHAT
CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?
A quorum
of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or
by proxy, of the holders of at least 33-1/3% of the outstanding shares of common
stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were
16,652,016 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, at
least 5,550,672 shares must be represented by stockholders present at the
meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.
Your
shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or
one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you
vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
towards the quorum requirement.
WHAT
ARE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK?
In
deciding all matters, a holder of common stock on the record date will be
entitled to cast one vote for each share of common stock registered in that
holder’s name, on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual
Meeting.
HOW
ARE VOTES COUNTED AND HOW ARE BROKER NON-VOTES TREATED?
Votes
will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting
who will separately count “For” votes, “Against” votes, abstentions, withheld
votes and broker non-votes. Votes withheld and abstentions are deemed as
“present” at the Annual Meeting and are counted for quorum
purposes.
A “broker
non-vote” is when a broker votes in its discretion on one or more “routine”
matters, but does not receive instructions from a beneficial owner of shares as
to how to vote those shares on “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes will be
counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. In uncontested
elections of directors, brokers generally have discretion to vote your shares if
they are not instructed otherwise. Accordingly, if you hold your shares through
a broker, bank or other nominee, and do not provide voting instructions by the
tenth day before the Annual Meeting, the broker, bank or other nominee will have
the discretion to vote your shares on the proposals for the election of
directors.
If your
shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you
will need to obtain a proxy card from the institution that holds your shares and
follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to vote your shares.
If your broker does not receive instructions as to how to vote your shares on a
proposal and does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal under
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, then your shares will be deemed present at
the meeting for quorum purposes, but will not be deemed to have voted on the
proposal; accordingly, these shares will have no effect on the outcome of any
given proposal on which they are deemed not voted.
WHAT
VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL?
Proposal
No. 1, the election of seven directors, requires a plurality of the votes cast
to elect a director. The seven nominees receiving the most “For” votes (among
votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. Only votes “For”
will affect the outcome. Withheld votes or broker non-votes, will not affect the
outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 1.
WHO CONDUCTS THE PROXY
SOLICITATION AND HOW MUCH
DOES IT COST?
We are soliciting the proxies and will
bear the entire costs of this solicitation, including the preparation, assembly,
printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and any additional materials
furnished to our stockholders. Copies of solicitation material
will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses and other agents holding shares in
their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this
solicitation material to these beneficial owners. In addition, if asked, we will reimburse these
persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding the solicitation material to
the beneficial owners. We have requested banks, brokerage houses and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of
the shares they hold of record. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may
be supplemented by telephone, fax, Internet and personal solicitation by our
directors, officers or other employees. Directors, officers and employees will not be paid any
additional compensation for soliciting proxies.
HOW
DO I VOTE IF I ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?
If you
are a stockholder of record, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in
person the shares you hold directly in your name on any matters properly brought
before the Annual Meeting. If you choose to do that, please bring the enclosed
proxy card or proof of identification. If you want to vote in person at our
Annual Meeting and you hold our common stock through a bank, broker or other
agent or nominee (that is, in “street name”), you must obtain a power of
attorney or other proxy authority from that organization and bring it to our
Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other agent or
nominee included with these proxy materials, or contact your bank, broker or
other agent or nominee to request a power of attorney or other proxy authority.
If you vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will revoke any prior proxy you
may have submitted.
HOW DO I VOTE IF I DO
NOT ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?
Stockholders of record who do not attend
the Annual Meeting may vote by mail. To vote, please sign, date and
return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid return
envelope.
By casting your vote by proxy, you are authorizing
the individuals listed on the proxy card to vote your shares in accordance with
your instructions. While we are not presently aware of any
matters (other than procedural matters), which will be brought before the Annual
Meeting and which are not reflected in the attached notice of the Annual
Meeting, if any other matter is
properly presented at the meeting, the individuals named on your proxy card will
vote your shares using their discretion.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name
of your bank, broker or other agent or nominee, you should have received a proxy
card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization
rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the Proxy Card to ensure that your vote is
counted. If you did not receive a proxy card, please follow the instructions
from your bank, broker or other agent or nominee included with these proxy
materials, or contact your bank, broker or other agent or nominee to
request a Proxy
Card.
WHAT IF I DO NOT
SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED ON THE PROXY
CARD?
If you return a signed and dated proxy
card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted
FOR
the election of the seven
(7) nominees for election
as directors proposed by the Board of Directors.
While we are not presently aware of any
additional matters, other than procedural matters, which will be brought before
the Annual Meeting and which are not reflected in the attached notice of the
Annual Meeting, if any other
matter is properly presented at the meeting, the individuals named on your proxy
card will vote your shares using their discretion.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF
I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?
If you receive more than one
proxy card from us or your
bank, this usually means that your shares are registered in more than one name
or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each
proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are
voted.
HAS THE BOARD
OF
DIRECTORS MADE A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE
ANNUAL MEETING?
Yes. Our
Board of Directors recommends that you cast your vote FOR the election of the seven
(7) nominees for election as directors proposed by the Board of
Directors.
Yes. You may revoke your proxy by doing
any of the following:
(1) You may send a written notice
that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at the address
indicated below prior to the Annual Meeting.
(2) You may submit another properly
completed proxy card with a later date, so long as it is received by our
Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting.
(3) You may attend the Annual
Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your
proxy.
Any written notice of revocation, or
later dated proxy, should be delivered to:
China Sky One Medical,
Inc.
Room 1706, Di Wang Building, No. 30 Gan
Shui Road
Nangang District, Harbin,
People’s Republic of China 150001
Attention: Corporate
Secretary
If your shares are held by your broker
or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by
your broker or bank.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT
THE RESULTS OF THE VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
Preliminary voting results will be
announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in our quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for our third quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30,
2009.
PROPOSAL
1
ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
General
Our
Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of
not less than three and not more than nine directors as determined by the Board
of Directors. The size of our Board of Directors is currently set at
seven (7) directors and there are seven (7) nominees for election as directors
at our Annual Meeting. Each nominee will be elected for a term of one
year and until his successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s
earlier resignation or removal. Our Board’s nominees are Liu Yan-qing, Han
Xiao-yan, Hao Yu-bo, Song Chun-fang, Qian Xu-feng, Zhao Jie and William Wei Lee,
all of whom are currently serving as directors. Our Nominating and Governance
Committee considered the qualifications of each of the nominees for election at
the Annual Meeting and unanimously recommended that each nominee be submitted
for re-election to the Board.
Directors
are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast in person or by proxy. If
a quorum is present and voting, the seven (7) nominees receiving the highest
number of affirmative votes will be elected. Our Articles of Incorporation do
not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.
Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is
not withheld, for the election of the seven (7) nominees named below.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the
election of directors.
If any
nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected
occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee
determined by our Board. Each of the nominees has consented to being
named in this proxy statement and has agreed to serve if elected. We have no
reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.
The
following table sets forth the name and age of each our nominees, the nominee’s
position with us and the year in which the nominee was first elected to the
Board:

is composed of seven (7) directors. As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market,
or Nasdaq listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s
board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the listed
company. Our Board consults with our counsel with respect to the
Board’s applications of relevant securities
and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent
listing standards of the Nasdaq, as in effect from time to
time.
Under
applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent
director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a
relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has
determined that none of Song Chun-fang, William Wei Lee, Zhao Jie and Qian
Xu-feng has a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and
that each of these directors is an “independent director,” as defined under Rule
5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules.
Board
and Committee Meetings and Attendance
The Board
of Directors has five standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation
Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Executive Committee and Finance
Committee. Each of these committees, other than the Executive
Committee, operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Copies of
these charters are available at the Company’s website at
www.cski.com.cn. Copies of these charters are also available in print
to stockholders upon request, addressed to our Corporate Secretary, at Room
1706, Di Wang Building, No. 30 Gan Shui Road, Nangang District, Harbin, People’s
Republic of China 150001.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, our Board of Directors, Audit
Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee,
Executive Committee and Finance Committee did not hold any
meetings. However, all actions of the Board of Directors and its
committees were authorized by written consent pursuant to Nevada
law. The Board of Directors and its committees intend to hold
meetings in the future.
Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for the annual
engagement of a firm of independent accountants and reviews with the independent
accountants the scope and results of audits, our internal accounting controls
and audit practices and professional services rendered to us by our independent
accountants. The Audit Committee also reviews and discusses with management and
the board of directors, such matters as accounting policies, internal accounting
controls and procedures for preparation of financial statements. The Audit
Committee is required at all times to be composed exclusively of directors who,
in the opinion of our board of directors, are free from any relationship that
would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member
and who posses an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted
accounting principles. The Audit Committee is comprised of solely independent
directors, Messrs. William Wei Lee and Zhao Jie and Ms. Qian Xu-feng. Management
believes, in good faith, that each of these members are considered “independent”
under applicable Nasdaq rules, and that William Wei Lee qualifies as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation
S-K.
Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for (a)
reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors on matters relating to
employee compensation and benefit plans, and (b) determining the compensation of
the Chief Executive Officer and making recommendations to the Board with respect
to the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, other than the
Chief Executive Officer, and independent directors. In making a determination,
the Compensation Committee and the Board give material consideration to China
Sky’s results of operations, financial condition and competitive
factors. The compensation may include grants of options under our
stock option plan to the named executive officers. Executive officers may
recommend the amount or form of compensation for consideration by the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may delegate authority to one
or more subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members. The
Compensation Committee may also retain consultants to assist in the evaluation
of directors’, the Chief Executive Officer’s or the executive officers’
compensation, however the Compensation Committee has not hired such
consultants. The Compensation Committee is comprised
of independent directors, Messrs. William Wei Lee and Song Chun-fang
and Ms. Qian Xu-feng.
Nominating and
Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee
assists the Board of Directors in identifying qualified individuals to become
board members, in determining the composition of the Board of Directors and in
monitoring the process to assess Board effectiveness. The Nominating
and Governance Committee also selects director nominees for election at each
annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Governance
Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors Zhao Jie,
Qian Xu-feng and Song Chun-fang.
Executive
Committee. The Executive Committee may exercise all the powers
and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the
Company, including, without limitation, the power to authorize or take actions
relating to the issuance of securities of the Company, with certain
exceptions. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is
comprised solely of independent directors. Song Chun-fang, Zhao Jie and William
Wei Lee serve as members of the Executive Committee.
Finance
Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the financial
planning process, the financial structure and the investment outlook of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Qian Xu-feng, William Wei Lee and Song Chun-fang,
independent directors, serve as members of the Finance Committee.
Code
of Ethics
We have
adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal chief executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller,
or persons performing similar functions, as well as other employees (the “Code
of Ethics”). A copy of the Code of Ethics is appended as an exhibit to our
Amended Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006. The Code of Ethics was designed with the intent to deter
wrongdoing, and to promote the following:

Stockholder
Communications with Directors
As the Board has not yet formally determined the most
effective way for its international stockholder base to communicate with the
Board, the Board has not yet established a process to receive
communications from stockholders. It is
anticipated that the Board will
implement a process in the near future and that
the process will provide that stockholders will be able to communicate
with the Board of Directors or individual members of the Board, including the
respective Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and
Nominating and Governance Committee, by sending correspondence addressed to the
Board or any such individual director or group or committee of directors by
either name or title to the following address:
Corporate
Secretary
China Sky
One Medical, Inc.
Room
1706, Di Wang Building, No. 30 Gan Shui Road,
Nangang
District, Harbin, People’s Republic of China 150001
It is further anticipated that the process will provide
that all communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph
will be opened by the office of our Corporate Secretary for the sole purpose of
determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any
contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or
service, or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the
addressee. In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee
of directors, the Corporate Secretary’s office will make sufficient copies of
the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee
to which the envelope is addressed. While the Company currently anticipates that
the process to be adopted will be as described above, the process ultimately
adopted may not be as outlined
above.

be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in any year must be
received by the Corporate Secretary not less than
120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the date on which our Proxy
Statement was released to our stockholders in connection with our most recent

statement and the form of proxy relating to the annual meeting of
stockholders. The deadline for submitting to the Nominating and
Governance Committee recommendations of potential director nominees for the 2010
Meeting is April 30, 2010.
The
Nominating and Governance Committee will review and evaluate the qualifications
of any director candidates who have been recommended by our stockholders in
compliance with the procedures established by the Nominating and Governance
Committee and conduct inquiries the Committee deems appropriate. The
procedures are summarized above and described in greater detail in the
Nominating and Governance Committee Charter. The Committee will
consider for nomination any nominee proposed in accordance with the established
procedures if the nominee is deemed qualified by the Committee in light of the
minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board membership approved by the
Board from time to time.
Qualifications
for Potential Director Nominees
At a
minimum, before nominating a proposed candidate for election as a director, the
Committee must be satisfied that each Committee-recommended nominee has the
highest personal and professional integrity, demonstrated exceptional ability
and judgment, and is most effective, in conjunction with other nominees to the
Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of our
stockholders. In addition to the minimum qualifications, the
Committee will select for nomination persons that help ensure that:
|
·
|
A
majority of our Board is
independent.
|
|
·
|
Our
Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees are comprised
entirely of independent directors.
|
|
·
|
At
least one member of our Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined by relevant
rules.
|
In
addition, the Committee may consider other factors, such as whether the proposed
nominee has any direct experience in the specific markets in which we operate
and whether, if elected, the proposed nominee would assist us in achieving a mix
of Board members that represents a diversity of background and experience,
together with such other standards the Committee may deem appropriate from time
to time and all other facts and circumstances the Committee deems appropriate or
advisable.
Identifying
and Evaluating Potential Director Nominees
Presently, the process for identifying
potential nominees for election to the Board is as follows:
|
·
|
The
Committee may solicit recommendations from an or all of the following
sources: non-management directors, the Chief Executive Officer,
other executive officers, third-party search firms, or any other source
the Committee deems appropriate.
|
|
·
|
The
Committee will review and evaluate the qualifications of a proposed
director candidate and conduct inquiries it deems
appropriate.
|
|
·
|
The
Committee will evaluate proposed director candidates in the same manner,
with no regard to the source of the initiation
recommendation.

OUR INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of our Board has
selected MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and Advisors LLP (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public
accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Murrell, Hall, McIntosh
& Co., PLLP served as the principal accountant to audit our financial
statements through December 18, 2007, when they were replaced by the firm of
Sherb & Co.,
LLP. Effective as of May 21, 2008, we dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged the firm of
MSPC. MSPC has audited our
consolidated financial statements since the fiscal period ended December
31, 2008. The Audit
Committee approved the decision to change accountants and the
accountants’ report on financial statements did not
contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion and was not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty audit scope, or accounting principles. A
representative of MSPC is expected to be available at the Annual Meeting and
will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our
stockholders. The representative will have the opportunity to make a
statement if he or she so desires to do so.
The
former accountants’ reports on financial statements neither contained an adverse
statement, nor were they qualified. There were no disagreements with
the former accountants during the past 2 years which were not resolved to the
accountants’ satisfaction.

AUDIT
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of three independent directors,
in accordance with the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market
and the applicable standards of the SEC, and operates under a written charter
adopted by the Board of Directors. The charter is available on the
Company’s website at www.cski.com.cn. Copies of the charter can be
obtained free of charge by contacting us at the address appearing on the first
page of this proxy statement to the attention of our Secretary.
All of
the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements. In addition, Mr. William Wei Lee has past employment
experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in
accounting, or other comparable experience or background which results in his
financial sophistication, and is an “audit committee financial expert” within
the meaning of applicable SEC rules.
The Audit
Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity
of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, and (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our
independent auditors. The Audit Committee also prepares this report
as required by the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee members are
not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended
to duplicate or to certify the activities of management or the independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee provides advice, counsel
and direction to management and the independent registered public accounting
firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management
and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the experience of the
Audit Committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters. The
Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information
provided by the Company and on the representations made by management that the
financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity, on the
representations of management, and the opinion of the independent registered
public accounting firm that such financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
or GAAP.
The Audit
Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with our
management. The Audit Committee also discussed with MSPC, Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors LLP, our independent auditors, the matters required to
be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communication with Audit
Committees,” as may be modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee has
received the written disclosures and the letter from MSPC, Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors LLP required by the applicable requirements of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s
communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has
discussed with MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and Advisors LLP its
independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of
certain permitted non-audit services by MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and
Advisors LLP is compatible with their independence.
Based
upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee
recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008 for filing with the SEC.
The information contained in this Audit
Committee report shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such
information be incorporated by reference into any document previously or
subsequently filed with the SEC that incorporates by reference all or any
portion of this proxy statement,
except to the extent that we specifically incorporates it by reference into such
filing.

Equity
Compensation Plan Information
Our Board
of Directors adopted a 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to be effective
on July 31, 2006. The Plan was approved by our stockholders on July
31, 2006. The Plan authorizes the granting of incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights
(“SARs”), restricted stock, performance stock and bonus stock, to key executives
and other key employees and consultants of ours, including officers of our
subsidiaries. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain key
employees, to motivate key employees to achieve long-range goals and to further
identify the interests of key employees with those of the other shareholders of
ours. The Plan authorizes the award of 1,500,000 shares of common stock to
be used for stock, SARs, restricted stock and performance and bonus stock.
If an award made under the Plan expires, terminates or is forfeited,
canceled or settled in cash, without issuance of shares covered by the award,
those shares will be available for future awards under the Plan. The Plan
will terminate on July 31, 2017. The Plan is intended to qualify for
favorable treatment under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as amended, pursuant
to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder (“Rule 16b-3”). The Plan provides for
the grant of “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and nonqualified stock options.
The Plan
designates a Stock Option Committee appointed by the Board of Directors (which
may be the Compensation Committee) and authorizes the Stock Option committee to
grant or award to eligible participants stock options, SARs, restricted stock
performance stock awards and bonus stock awards for up to 1,500,000 shares of
our common stock. The initial members of the Stock Option Committee are the
Board of Directors.
On
October 26, 2006, we granted a total of 113,500 non-qualified options under the
Plan (the “Options”) to key employees, including certain of our officers.
The Options were exercisable at a price of $3.65 per share, or 85% of the
fair market value of the shares covered by the Options as of the date of grant.
The Options begin to vest in June 2007, and typically vested in increments
over either a two-year or three year period, and will expire in October, 2011,
unless earlier exercised or terminated by their terms. The Options
included a total of 29,000 options held by current officers and
directors.
The
following table provides certain information with respect to our equity
compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2008.

As of
June 30, 2009, 101,000 of the Options were exercised on a cashless basis by 36
optionees. In connection with the cashless exercises, the optionees were deemed
to have paid an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price ($3.65
per share) and the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date
of exercise ($14.68 per share). As a result of such cashless exercises, we
issued an aggregate of 75,888 shares of our common stock to the
optionees. Following these exercises, 12,500 Options remained
outstanding.
COMPENSATION
OF DIRECTORS
We do not
currently pay any cash fees to our directors.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since the
beginning of our last fiscal year, there have been no transactions between
members of management, five percent stockholders, “affiliates,” promoters and
finders, except as set forth below. Each of the transactions listed below was
negotiated on an “arm’s length” basis.
Transactions
with Management and Others
Effective
May 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of American California Pharmaceutical Group, Inc.
(“ACPG”), in a stock-for-stock exchange. The transaction was treated as a
reverse merger and a recapitalization of ACPG for financial reporting purposes.
As part of the exchange, Liu Yan-qing and Han Xiao-yan, officers and directors
of ACPG and TDR, received 4,660,595 and 1,402,907 shares, respectively, of our
common stock in exchange for their ownership interest in ACPG. The other
shareholders of ACPG received a total of 4,129,875 shares of our common stock
for their ownership interest in ACPG, including American Eastern Group, Inc.
(“AEG”), American Eastern Securities, Inc. “AES”), and its principal, Trang
Chong (Charles) Hung, who received 87,685 shares, 54,803 shares, and 87,685
shares of our common stock, respectively, in connection with the
transaction.
In
connection with the closing of the stock exchange described above, we entered
into a consulting agreement, as of May 11, 2006, with Jack M. Gertino and
Richard B. Stuart, officers and directors who resigned at closing, providing for
their services as consultants. For such services, we agreed to compensate
Messrs. Gertino and Stuart as follows: (a) the sum of $3,000 per month for a
period of two years; (b) the issuance of a total of 219,212 shares of our
restricted common stock (or 109,606 shares each). In addition, under this
arrangement, we granted to Mr. Gertino an option to purchase a total of 50,000
shares at a price of $3.00 per share at any time before December 20,
2008.
We
incurred fees to AEG, and Shenzhen DRB Investment Consultant Limited (“DRB”), in
the amount of $200,000 in cash for services rendered in connection with the
Exchange Agreement. In addition, in October, 2006, we granted to AES and DRB
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock (500,000
warrants each) exercisable at any time before July 31, 2009, at a price of $2.00
per share. One-half of such warrants were deemed to be earned as of the
completion of the Exchange Agreement, and the other one-half was deemed earned
after completion of our private offering in October, 2006. The fair value of the
above warrants was calculated as $1,469,190 as of December 31, 2006, based on
the Black-Scholes model of accounting, and the total value of compensation to
AES and DRB has been determined to be $2,317,128.
AES acted
as placement agent for us in connection with our private offering completed in
October, 2006. We sold a total of 200 units in the private offering, at a price
of $15,000 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $3,000,000 and net cash
proceeds of approximately $2,745,000. Each unit in the private offering
consisted of a total of 5,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase
an additional 2,500 shares of common stock at any time prior to October 10,
2008, at a price of $3.50 per share. As a result, we sold a total of 1,000,000
shares of common stock, and issued warrants to purchase an additional 500,000
shares of common stock. As placement agent, American Eastern Securities earned a
placement fee of $270,000 or 9% of the total proceeds from the private offering,
and was granted a warrant to purchase units equivalent to 10% of the units sold
in the offering in October 2006, or a total of 100,000 shares at a price of
$3.00 per share, and, subject to exercising the foregoing $3.00 Warrants in
full, a warrant for an additional 50,000 shares exercisable at $3.50 per share.
The $3.00 warrants were exercised in full. All of the warrants described above
have an expiration date of October 10, 2008.
Policy
for Evaluating Related-Party Transactions
Our Audit Committee Charter provides that all
related-party transactions involving the Company’s directors and offices and
their immediate family members are to be reviewed by the Audit
Committee. In addition, our Code of Ethics provides that certain
transactions that may present a conflict of interest may not be entered into by
any employee, officer or director unless approved by the Board. The
Code of Ethics also contains other provisions relating to conflicts of
interests.
