PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT

 

Man Sang Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), previously filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-122984) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 25, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering (i) 700,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to outstanding options under the Man Sang Holdings, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and (ii) 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, reserved but not subject to outstanding options, under the Plan. As a result of a five-for-four stock split on August 5, 2005, the shares of our common stock originally registered under the Registration Statement have been adjusted to 875,000 and 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. In addition, the 875,000 shares of our common stock subject to outstanding options under the Plan originally registered under the Registration Statement have been issued pursuant to the subsequent exercise of those options under the Plan. Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Common Stock”.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement includes a resale prospectus prepared pursuant to Instruction C of the General Instructions to Form S-8 and in accordance with the requirements of Part I of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Resale Prospectus”). This Resale Prospectus may be used for reoffers or resales made on a delayed or continuous basis in the future, as provided by Rule 415, of shares of common stock of the Company acquired by the selling stockholders named in the Resale Prospectus, as participants in the Plan, prior to or after the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is not otherwise amended or superseded by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Resale Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which Sections were adopted as part of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). While management has based any forward-looking statements contained herein on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. Such risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors.” In addition, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may arise. Accordingly, investors should not place any reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statement.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about risks, together with other information contained in this Resale Prospectus, before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we now believe to be immaterial could also impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected. Accordingly, the following risks, among others risks detailed below, could materially affect the likelihood that the Company will achieve its objectives and expectations: (i) the Company may not continue to obtain a stable supply of pearls in the quantities, of the quality and on terms required by the Company; (ii) there may be a substantial change in climate and environmental conditions at the source regions of pearls that could have material effect on the supply and pricing of pearls; (iii) customer’s choice of pearls vis-à-vis other precious stones and metals may change adversely; (iv) low or negative growth in the economies or the financial markets of our customers, particularly in the Hong Kong, United States and Europe, may occur to reduce discretionary spending on goods that might be perceived as “luxuries” (v) there may be a substantial adverse change in the foreign exchange relationship between U.S. dollar, the Hong Kong, Japanese Yen, and the Renminbi; (vi) there may be increase in tax burden of subsidiaries of the Company operating in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”); and (vii) there may be

 

 

5



substantial adverse change in the real estate market conditions in the PRC and in Hong Kong. As a result of these risks, the market price of the Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of your investment in the Common Stock.

 

Sources of Pearl Supply

 

The principal raw materials used by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries (the “Group”) are pearls. As pearl is a commodity and its value is subject to prevailing market conditions, it is a customary practice in the pearl market that buyers and sellers of pearls do not normally enter into any long term contracts. The Group currently does not have any fixed term purchase contracts with any pearl farmers and suppliers. The Group purchases different types of pearls from different sources around the world. With its long established history in the pearl industry, the Group has established a good relationship with pearl farmers and suppliers. The Group negotiates the purchase of pearls on an as needed basis at prevailing market prices. However, there can be no assurance that pearls will be available from its suppliers in the quantities, of the quality and on the terms required by the Group.

 

Climate and Environmental Conditions; Pearl Price Fluctuation

 

Changes in supply of pearls may have a material effect on the business of the Group. Any adverse change in climate and environmental conditions at the source regions of pearls may have an adverse effect on pearl harvesting and hence the supply of pearls.

 

Over the years, the Group has developed relationships with a network of suppliers to ensure a continuous supply of different types of pearls. The Group has adopted a policy of diversification of sources under which pearls are purchased from different suppliers in different countries or regions so that the Group is less susceptible to changes in raw material supply due to the changes in climate and environmental conditions at any particular source region.

 

The prices of pearls fluctuate according to demand and supply conditions in the market. Any significant increase in the prices of pearls may affect the profitability of the Group. Hence, the Group continues to expand its product range in order to reduce any impact of price fluctuations of any type of pearls.

 

Change in Consumer Preference

 

A change in consumer preferences from pearls to other precious stones and metals may soften demand for some of the Group’s products and may result in decreased revenues and growth. While the Group attempts to offer a diverse product range to minimize the effects of a negative change in consumer preferences, there can be no assurance that the Group’s financial performance will not be adversely affected by such a change in consumer preferences.

 

General State of Economy

 

As pearls are mainly used in jewelry which may be deemed as fashionable consumer products or perceived as “luxuries”, the demand for pearls and pearl jewelry are subject to the general state of economy of the major markets for such products, including Hong Kong, the

 

 

6



U.S. and Europe. There can be no assurance that the financial performance of the Group will not be adversely affected by any change in the general state of economy in the major markets that causes a decrease in discretionary spending for fashionable consumer products or “luxuries” such as pearls and pearl jewelry.

 

Foreign Currency Exposure

 

The Group makes a majority of its purchases in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese Yen and Renminbi (the “RMB”), and denominates its sales in either U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars. Accordingly, changes in currency exchange rates (including revaluation of the RMB) and costs of conversion between U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars and such other currencies may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could result in increased costs or reduced revenue that could impact the Group’s cash flow and operating results. Currency devaluations and unfavorable changes in international monetary and tax policies could also have a material adverse effect on the Group’s profitability.

 

Foreign Tax Liability

 

The Company’s subsidiaries operate in foreign jurisdictions, including the PRC and are subject to taxation in those jurisdictions. Any increase in foreign tax liability may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s profitability.

 

General Real Estate Investment Risks

 

The Group owns certain real estate investments. Real estate investments, like many other types of long-term investments, have historically experienced significant fluctuations in value, and specific market conditions and cycles may result in occasional or permanent reductions in the value of the Group’s investments. Property cash flows and the marketability and value of real property will depend on many factors beyond the control of the Group, including, without limitation:

 

Adverse changes in international, national, regional and local economic and market conditions;

 

Changes in interest rates or financial markets;

 

Fluctuating local real estate conditions and changes in local laws and regulations;

 

Changes or promulgation and enforcement of governmental regulations relating to land use and
zoning, environmental, occupational and safety matters;

 

Changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses;

 

Existence of uninsured or uninsurable risks; and

 

Natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism.

 

Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky and Mr. Cheng Tai Po have Substantial Control over our Company and can Affect Decisions Made by our Stockholders

Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky and Mr. Cheng Tai Po beneficially own 3,750,001 and 3,687,501 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as of February 24, 2006. They control a majority of our total voting power (based on total of 6,382,582 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 24, 2006). In addition, they beneficially own 100,000 Series A Preferred Stock of the Company which entitles them to a fixed number of votes of 3,191,225

 

 

7



shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like upon occurrence of such event, if any). As a result, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky and Mr. Cheng Tai Po have the requisite voting power to significantly affect certain decisions of the Company, including the power to block corporate actions such as an amendment provisions of our constitutional documents.

 

The Price of our Common Stock may Fluctuate Significantly, which may Result in Losses for Investors

 

The market price for the Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile. For example, during the 6-month period ended February 15, 2006, the closing prices of the Common Stock as reported on AMEX ranged from a high of $7.40 per share to a low of $4.70 per share. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include and are not necessarily limited to:

 

 

actual or anticipated variations in operating results from guidance provided by us;

 

announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions;

 

changes in financial estimates or other statements by securities analysts or research firms;

 

changes in general economic conditions; and

 

changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other competitors.

 

Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock price could decline as a result.

 

SARS, Avian Flu and other diseases

 

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in the Asia Pacific region in 2003 had a negative effect in the economies of that region. A similar epidemic or outbreak of SARS or other highly contagious disease in the Asia Pacific region, such as the recent outbreak of avian flu in parts of Asia, could adversely affect economic activities, performance and operations of the Group.

 

Other Risks

 

We have attempted to identify material risk factors currently affecting our business and company. However, additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may occur or become material. These risks could impair our business operations or adversely affect revenues, cash flow or profitability.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Common Stock by the selling stockholders pursuant to this Resale Prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the Resale Common Stock by the selling stockholders will be for the account of such selling stockholder. We have, however, received the exercise price of options at the time of their exercise. Such proceeds were contributed to working capital and were used for general corporate purposes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares of Resale Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholder, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The shares of Resale Common Stock may be sold by one or more of the following, without limitation:

 

(a)           a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

9



 

(b)          purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer or for its account pursuant to the Resale Prospectus, as supplemented;

 

(c)         an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and

 

(d)          ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.

 

The selling stockholder and sales to and through other broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholder in the sale of the shares of Resale Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of Resale Common Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In addition, any securities covered by this Resale Prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Resale Prospectus, as supplemented. From time to time, the selling stockholder may engage in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith. Sales may also take place from time to time through brokers pursuant to pre-arranged sales plans intended to qualify under Commission Rule 10b5-1.

 

There is no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares of the Resale Common Stock covered by this Resale Prospectus.

 

All expenses of registration of the Resale Common Stock, other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents, shall be borne by us. As and when we are required to update this Resale Prospectus, we may incur additional expenses.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify its current and former officers, directors, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and that were incurred in connection with actions, suits, or proceedings, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, in which such persons are parties by reason of the fact that they are or were an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, if such person (i) has not been adjudged to be liable to the corporation; (ii) acted in good faith; (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful and (iv) reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation.

 

Further, Section 78.752 of the Nevada General Corporation Law permits a

 

 

11



corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers, directors, employees and agents against any liability that may be asserted against or incurred by, such persons in their capacities as officers, directors, employees and agents of the corporation, whether or not the corporation would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company is required to indemnify, to the fullest extent provided by Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, any current or former director or officer who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person serves or served as a director or officer of the Company.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation include a provision that limits personal liability for a breach of fiduciary duty by any of our directors or officers. Such provision eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for damages occasioned by a breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability based on intentional misconduct, fraud, a knowing violation of law or the payment of an unlawful dividend in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

The Company has directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that insures the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries against certain liabilities.

ITEM 9.

UNDERTAKINGS

 

A.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

B.          The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

14



 

C.          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
