ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


General


Emerald Acquisition Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Emerald”) was organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands on March 10, 2006. Since inception, we have been engaged in organizational efforts.  We are a blank check development stage company formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination an operating business.  We have not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business.


Plan of Operation


We do not currently engage in any business activities that generate revenue and do not expect to generate revenue until such time as we have successfully completed a business combination.  Our operations will consist entirely of identifying, investigating and conducting due diligence on potential businesses for acquisition, none of which will generate revenues.  In addition to the costs that we have incurred in connection with our formation and the filing of our registration statement and periodic and current reports, including legal, accounting and auditing fees, we expect to incur costs associated with identifying acquisition targets and completing necessary due diligence.  


We believe we will be able to meet the costs of these activities through use of funds that we have raised in private sales of our ordinary shares. If we require additional funds, we will seek additional investments from our shareholders, management or other investors.


Narrative Description of Business


Although we have not identified or entered into any agreements with a potential target business to date, we intend to focus on targets located primarily in Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, as we believe that businesses with operating history and growth potential in these locations could benefit significantly from access to the United States capital markets and may offer the potential of capital appreciation stemming from economic growth in such emerging markets.


The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officer and directors who will have a large amount of flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following kinds of factors:


·

Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

·

Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

·

Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

·

Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds;

·

The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

·

The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

·

Other relevant factors.


In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.  If necessary, we will retain third party consultants to aid us in our evaluation of potential targets, provided that we have the necessary capital available.


We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky.  In addition, we believe that as a result of general economic conditions, shortages of available capital, the attractiveness



-4-



of obtaining access to United States capital markets, and the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded company, that there may be numerous firms seeking business combination partners such as ourselves, thus adding to the complexity.  


Competition


In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. There are numerous blank check companies that have gone public in the United States that have significant financial resources, that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our business plan. Furthermore, there are a number of additional blank check companies that are still in the registration process or are about to file registration statements, both under the Securities and Exchange Act and under the Securities Act.  Additionally, we may be subject to competition from other companies looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater t echnical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors.


While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with our currently available funds, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business.


Our management believes, however, that our status as a reporting entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms. We also believe that because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands we may be attractive from a tax perspective to potential targets operating outside of the United States, as the majority of non-operating companies that are seeking reverse merger candidates are incorporated in the United States, which potentially adds an additional layer of taxation.


 

Further, if we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.


Forms of Acquisition


The structure of a potential business combination, either through an acquisition or a merger, will depend upon a number of factors, including, the nature of the target entity’s ownership structure, its business structure and the relative negotiating strengths of the parties to the transaction.  It is our intention to structure a business combination so that the consideration we offer the owners of the target company consists primarily of ordinary shares.  Such a structure provides the benefit of conserving our capital, but has the potential drawback of resulting in our current shareholders no longer having control of a majority of our voting ordinary shares following such a transaction.  


If a business combination is structured as an acquisition, we may be able to structure the transaction so that the vote or approval by our shareholders is not required.  If a business combination is structured as merger, then we may be required to call a shareholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares.  The necessity to obtain such shareholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and may also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting shareholders.  Accordingly, we will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require shareholder approval.


We currently anticipate that we will be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing, and the dilution of interest for present and prospective shareholders, which is likely to occur if we



-5-



offer our ordinary shares to obtain a target business.  This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.


Employees


We presently have no employees apart from our officers. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.


ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands because our management believes that incorporation in the Cayman Islands offer a number of benefits, including, but not limited to, the following:


·

political and economic stability;

·

an effective judicial system;

·

a favorable tax system;

·

the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

·

the availability of professional and support services.


However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:


·

the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors; and

·

Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.


We have been advised that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would:


·

recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

·

entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or China against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.


We have been advised that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a sum of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation.


ITEM 1A.  

RISK FACTORS


This Annual  Report on Form 10-K  contains  "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended.  Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and results. We generally use the words "believes,"  "expects,"  "intends," "plans," "anticipates,"   "likely,"   "will"  and   similar   expressions   to  identify forward-looking  statements.  Such forward-looking statements,  including those concerning our expectations,  involve risks,  uncertainties  and other factors, some of which are  beyond  our  control,  which may  cause our  actual  results, performance or achievements,  or industry  results,  to be materially  different from any future  results,  performance or  achievements  expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause our results to differ materially from our expectations and beliefs include,  but are not limited to, those  factors set forth below:




-6-



·

changes in laws or regulations affecting our operations;


·

changes in our business tactics or strategies;


·

acquisitions of new operations;


·

changing market forces or contingencies that necessitate, in  our judgment, changes in our plans, strategy or tactics; and


·

fluctuations in the investment markets or interest rates, which might materially affect our operations or financial  condition.


 We cannot assure you that the expectations or beliefs reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove correct.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking   statements when evaluating the information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



We are a development stage company with no operating history and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.


Because we are a recently formed development stage company with no operations and/or functions to date, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business.  We have not conducted any negotiations regarding Acquisitions and we have no current plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective Acquisition candidates.  


We are dependent on the ability of management to locate, attract and effectuate a suitable acquisition candidate; management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company.


The nature of our operations is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of an identified business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates with established operating histories. In the event we complete a business combination with a privately held company, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.  While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting no more than a few hours per week to the Company's affairs. Our officers have not entered into written employment agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a succe ssful business combination.


There is no public market for our ordinary shares.


There is no public trading market for our ordinary shares and none is expected to develop unless and until, among other things, we complete an acquisition, file a selling shareholder registration statement under the Securities Act, and such ordinary shares are accepted for trading on a trading medium in the United States, the occurrence of any of which no assurances can be given when, if, or ever.


Because of our limited resources and intense competition for private companies suitable for an acquisition of the type contemplated by management, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition on suitable terms, if at all.


We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives similar to ours.  The highly competitive market for the small number of business opportunities could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination.  Many of the entities that we will be in competition with are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates.  A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture



-7-



capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.


We have no agreements for a business combination or other transaction.


We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.


Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.

 

While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting no more than a few hours per week to the Company's affairs in total. Our officer has not entered into a written employment agreement with us and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.


The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.


Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.


Our business will have no revenues unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.


We are a development stage company and have had no revenues from operations. We may not realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.  Further, we anticipate that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention require the expenditure of significant financial resources. If we decide not to participate in a specific business opportunity, or if we fail to consummate a business combination, the costs incurred by us related to a transaction may result in the loss of the related costs incurred.  


We may require additional funds in order to operate a business that we acquire.


Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.  If we obtain a business that requires additional capital that we cannot provide, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and could result in the loss of your entire investment.



-8-



 

We expect to issue additional ordinary shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.


Our Memorandum of Association authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 50,000,000 ordinary shares. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without shareholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our ordinary shares held by our then existing shareholders.


We have not conducted any market research or identified business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.


We have neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market research concerning prospective business opportunities. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our shareholders.


We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our ordinary shares will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange.

 

Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our ordinary shares on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our ordinary shares on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our ordinary shares would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our shareholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our ordinary shares. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our ordinary shares, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.


Our shareholders may face different considerations in protecting their interests because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

 

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, by the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of Cayman Islands. The common law in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law relating to the right of shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors may not be as established and may differ from provision under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States. As a res ult, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in actions against the management, directors or our controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.




-9-



Judgments against us may be difficult or impossible to enforce in foreign jurisdictions.

 

We are a Cayman Islands company and a substantial majority of our assets are located outside the U.S. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers reside outside the U.S. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the U.S. upon such persons, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. or foreign securities or other applicable laws. There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong or China would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or such persons based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States, or be competent to hear original actions based upon these laws. In addition, any judgments obtained in the U.S. against us, including judgments predicated on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, may be not collectible within the U.S. Moreover, China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the U.S., Japan or most western countries. Hong Kong has no arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments within the U.S. As a result, if you intend to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against our assets located outside the U.S., such judgment may be subject to re-examination of the merits of the action by a foreign court and face additional procedures and other difficulties which would not be required for enforcement of such judgment in the U.S. Enforcing such judgments may be difficult or impossible.


If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations.

 

We intend to effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States. If we do so, we could be subject to special considerations and/or risks associated with companies operating in the target business’ home jurisdiction, including any of the following:

 

 

·

rules and regulations or currency conversion or corporate withholding taxes on individuals;

 

·

tariffs and trade barriers;

 

·

regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

 

·

longer payment cycles;

 

·

tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;

 

·

currency fluctuations;

 

·

challenges in collecting accounts receivable;

 

·

cultural and language differences; and

 

·

employment regulations.

 

We cannot assure you that we would be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations, and those of the business that we acquired, could be materially adversely affected.

 


If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.

 

If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws of the country in which such company operates will govern almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Additionally, if we acquire a company located outside of the United States, it is likely that substantially all of our assets would be located outside of the United States and some of our officers and directors might reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United



-10-



States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.


Authorization of Preference Shares.


Our Memorandum of Association authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 preference shares with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors.  Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preference shares with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our ordinary shares. In the event of issuance, the preference shares could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any preference shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.


We may become a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

 

Based on the nature of our business, we do not expect to be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year. However, whether or not we are a PFIC for any taxable year will be based in part on the character of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time, which will be based in part on the trading price of our ordinary shares, once they commence trading, which may be volatile. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held an ordinary share, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. investor. See “Taxation—United States Federal Income Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

 

If we effect a business combination with a United States corporation we could face adverse tax effects under the United States tax laws.


Although we currently intend to focus on Asia, South America and Eastern Europe for potential business combination targets, if we were to effect a business combination with a U.S. corporation, such a combination could subject us to potentially adverse tax effects as a result of changes made to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 relating to the treatment of domestic business entities which expatriate from the United States to a foreign jurisdiction. These new provisions generally apply to the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties of a domestic enterprise by a foreign corporation if there is at least 60% or 80% of continuing share ownership in the successor foreign entity by the former stockholders of the U.S. corporation and substantial business activities are not conducted in the jurisdiction in which such successor is created or organized. &n bsp;In the event we effected a business combination with a U.S. corporation, and were subsequently subject to these new rules, it could cause us to lose certain tax benefits, which could make the transaction more expensive to us, which could have an adverse effect on our operations.  See “Taxation – Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Tax Effects if We Acquire a U.S. Corporation”


If we are deemed to be a controlled foreign corporation, or CFC, we may be subject to certain U.S. income tax risks associated with the CFC rules under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


We will be considered a CFC for any year in which our United States shareholders that each own (directly, indirectly or by attribution) at least 10% of our voting shares (each a “10% U.S. Holder”) together own more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting shares or more than 50% of the total value of our shares.  If we were classified as a CFC, such classification would have many complex results, one of which is that if you are a 10% U.S. Holder on the last day of our taxable year, you will be required to recognize as ordinary income your pro rata share of certain of our income (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains) for the taxable year, whether or not you receive any distributions on your ordinary shares during that taxable year.


If we are deemed to be a CFC in the future, these rules would then apply to holders of our ordinary shares. Accordingly, U.S. persons should consider the possible application of the CFC rules before making an investment in

our ordinary shares. See “Certain Tax Considerations—Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations-Controlled Foreign Corporation Status and Related Consequences.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements


Statements, other than historical facts, contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements of potential acquisitions and our strategies, plans and objectives, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  Although we believe that our forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we caution that such statements are subject to a wide range of risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Among those risks, trends and uncertainties are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to; the effect of existing and future laws, governmental regulations and the p olitical and economic climate of the United States; the effect of derivative activities; and conditions in the capital markets.  We undertake no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements.


When used in this Form 10-K, the words, "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons.


General


We are a development stage company formed solely for the purpose of identifying and entering into a business combination with a privately held business or company, domiciled and operating in an emerging market,  that is seeking the advantages of being a publicly held corporation whose stock is eventually traded on a major United States stock exchange.  We intend to focus on targets located primarily in Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, as we believe that businesses with operating history and growth potential in these locations would benefit significantly from access to the United States capital markets and may offer the potential of capital appreciation stemming from the economic growth in such emerging markets.


Plan of Operation


As of December 31, 2008 and as of the date of this report, we had not engaged in any business activities that generate revenue.  Our activities to date have been primarily focused upon our formation and raising capital.  We have conducted private offerings of our ordinary shares, the proceeds of which we intend to use for payment of costs associated with formation, accounting and auditing fees, legal fees, and costs associated with identifying



-13-



acquisition targets and completing necessary due diligence.  In addition, we expect to incur costs related to filing periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


We believe we will be able to meet these costs for at least the next 12 months using the funds that we have raised through our private offerings.  If necessary, we believe that we will be able to raise additional funds through additional private sales of ordinary shares, or by obtaining loans from our shareholders, management or other investors.


We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.


Results of Operations


Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007


Operating Expenses


Because we currently do not have any business operations, we have not had any revenues since inception. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 declined slightly to $8,787 from $9,105 from December 31, 2007.  This decrease is primarily related to decreased corporate services expenses in 2008.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2008, we had $22,421 in cash available and had current liabilities of $17,410 to a related party and $1,285 to unrelated parties.  The Company is actively pursuing merger opportunities as described in the “General” Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and believes that its current available cash will be sufficient for its operations until a merger candidate is selected, but may seek additional financing in connection with a potential business combination or if it otherwise requires additional funds.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As of December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and


 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


As of December 31, 2008, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Controls.

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.


Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are currently compliant.


Code of Ethics


We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

We have not adopted retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs for the benefit of our employees.


There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.


Since we do not currently have an operating business, our officers do not receive any compensation for their service to us; and, since we have no other employees, we do not have any compensation policies, procedures, objectives or programs in place. We will adopt appropriate compensation policies, procedures, objectives or programs as necessary after an acquisition is consummated. However, it is anticipated that, after the consummation of an acquisition, the compensation for our senior executives will be comprised of four elements: a base salary, an annual performance bonus, equity and benefits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

  

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Emerald Acquisition Corporation (the Company) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative period from inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estima tes made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emerald Acquisition Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative period from inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

  

The accumulated deficit during the development stage for the period from date of inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2008 is $43,624.

Emerald Acquisition Corporation

(A Development Stage Company)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008



NOTE 1 - Organization, Business and Operations


On March 10, 2006, Emerald Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") was formed in the Cayman Islands with the objective to acquire, or merge with, a foreign operating business.


At December 31, 2008, the Company had not yet commenced operations. Expenses incurred from inception through December 31, 2008 relates to the Company’s formation and general and administrative activities to prepare for a potential acquisition. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.


The Company, based on its proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines such a company as “a development stage company” as it either has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and has issued ‘penny stock,’ as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in its securities, either debt or equity, until the Company concludes a business combination with an operating entity.


The Company was organized to acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly-held company and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ the Company’s funds in its business. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a business combination rather than short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and directors of the Company.



NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


These financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred. The Company also follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises” in preparing its financial statements.


Statement of Cash Flows

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.






F-7




NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Loss Per Ordinary Share


Basic loss per ordinary share is based on the weighted effect of ordinary shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number of ordinary shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.  The Company does not present diluted earnings per share for years in which it incurred net losses as the effect is antidilutive.

 

At December 31, 2008, there were no potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.


Income Taxes

 

Emerald Acquisition Corporation was registered as an Exempted Company in the Cayman Islands, and therefore, is not subject to Cayman Island income taxes for 20 years from the Date of Inception.  While the Company has no intention of conducting any business activities in the United States, the Company would be subject to United States income taxes based on such activities that would occur in the United States.  


The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is likely that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist of accounts payable and payables to an affiliate. We believe the fair value of our payable reflects its carrying amount.


The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) effective January 1, 2008.  SFAS 157 established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. SFAS 157 does not require assets and liabilities that were previously recorded at cost to be recorded at fair value or for assets and liabilities that are already required to be disclosed at fair value, SFAS 157 introduced, or reiterated, a number of key concepts which form the foundation of the fair value measurement approach to be used for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS 157 also established a fair value hierarchy that pri oritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:


Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.





F-8




Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


Level 3—unobservable inputs.


The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but SFAS 157 introduced new disclosures about how we value certain assets and liabilities. Much of the disclosure is focused on the inputs used to measure fair value, particularly in instances where the measurement uses significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have financial assets or liabilities that would require measurement on a recurring basis based on the guidance in SFAS 157. At December 31, 2008 all financial assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations - Revised 2007” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) provides guidance on improving the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141(R) applies to business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and reporting standards to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information in consolidated financial statements that include an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159).  SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election.  Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in the results of operations.  SFAS 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements.  The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS 159 for any of its financial assets or liabilities upon adoption.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.



NOTE 3 - Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no revenues for the period from inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2008, and does not intend to realize revenues until the consummation of a merger with an operating entity.  The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a business combination rather than short-term earnings.  There can be no assurance that the Company will ever consummate the business combination; achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from its operations, reduce expenses or sell ordinary shares.  To date, the Company has funded its formation activities primarily through issuances of its ordinary shares and a payable to affiliate.



NOTE 4 - Payable to Affiliate and Accounts Payable


The Company has a payable to affiliate of $17,410 and $6,497 to a Founder of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The payable is non-interest bearing and payable on demand.  The Company also has accounts payable related to and general and administrative expenses for $1,285 and $4,447 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.





F-9




NOTE 5 - Ordinary Shares


On April 10, 2006, the Company was capitalized with 1,050,000 shares of its restricted ordinary shares issued at par value of $0.001 per share, for consideration of $1,050 to its founding shareholders.  These shares, along with a payable issued to the founder of $5,548, were the basis of the funding of the Company’s $6,598 in formation costs.  On May 31, 2006, the Company sold 177,500 shares of its restricted ordinary shares for $35,500. The restricted ordinary shares were sold to 355 offshore private investors pursuant to a Private Placement Offering in lots of 500 shares each at $0.20 per share.  On July 18, 2006, the Company sold an additional 54,000 shares of its restricted ordinary shares for $10,800. The restricted ordinary shares were sold to 108 offshore private investors pursuant to a Private Placement Offering in lots of 500 shares each at $0.20 per share.  No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. &nb sp;

 


NOTE 6 - Preference Shares


The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  At December 31, 2008, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.



NOTE 7 - Commitments and Contingencies


The Company may become subject to various claims and litigation.  The Company vigorously defends its legal position when these matters arise.  The Company is not a party to, nor the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding nor to the knowledge of the Company, are any such legal proceedings threatened against the Company.
