Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 8-K is being filed by Perpetual Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) in connection with a reverse merger transaction which closed on February 12, 2010, through which we acquired control of Foshan, an operating company in China, and a private placement of convertible notes and warrants which  closed on February 12, 2010.
 
This report describes those transactions, the agreements through which they were executed, the nature of the business we now conduct through Foshan, our newly-acquired operating company.

Through the reverse merger, we ceased to be a shell company as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and are now engaged in the manufacture, sale, and research and development of advanced spun-bond PET (polyester) non-wovens in Guangdong Province in the PRC.
 
Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
  
Background

On February 12, 2010, we acquired control of Foshan S.L.P. Special Materials Co., Ltd., a PRC-based company located in Foshan, Guangdong Province in the PRC, in a share exchange transaction which closed on that date.

Foshan is engaged in the manufacture sale, and research and development of advanced spun-bond PET, or polyester, non-wovens.

In the share exchange or “reverse merger” we acquired control of  Hong Hui Holdings Limited (“Hong Hui”), a  British Virgin Islands company and  the owner of all of the stock of Technic International Limited (“Technic”), a Hong Kong holding company which in turn is the owner of all of the stock of Foshan, by issuing to the Hong Hui  stockholders an aggregate of 72,551,020 shares our of common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Hong Hui.  The Hong Hui stockholders with whom we completed the share exchange are as set forth below, each of whom  is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and each of whom received the number of shares set forth beside their respective names:

Bestyield Group Limited, 21,765,306;
Proudlead Limited, 21,765,306;
Newise Holdings Limited, 11,608,163;
Pilot Link International Limited, 8,343,367;
High Swift Limited, 5,441,327; and
China Investment Management Inc., 3,627,551.

Bestyield Group Limited is controlled by Jie Li, our chief executive officer and a director.  Proudlead Limited is controlled by Law Wawai, our president of sales and a director.  Newise Holdings Limited is controlled by Li Jun, a PRC resident.  Pilot Link International Limited is controlled by Li Shiyl and Yang Wei, both PRC residents.  High Swift Limited is controlled by Han Hung Yuk and China Investment Management Inc. is controlled by Song Huaying.

Immediately prior to the share exchange, 12,640,000 shares of common stock held by a number of our shareholders were surrendered for cancellation in exchange for $40,000 in cash paid by Joseph Nemelka. At that time our former directors, Seth Winterton and Joseph Nemelka resigned and appointed Jie Li and Chris Bickel as our directors.  The new board appointed Jie Li as chief executive officer, Ting (Maggie) Wang as chief financial officer, Law Wawai as president of sales and a director,  Shijun Zeng, chief technology officer and Yang Wei as secretary and approved the share exchange and private financing.

Our current structure, after the reverse merger, is set forth in the diagram below:


On February 12, 2010 we completed a financing transaction in which we raised gross proceeds of $4,140,000 through a private placement of convertible notes and warrants to certain accredited investors.  The private placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), under Section 4(2) of the Act as a result of our compliance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

The material agreements through which the reverse merger and private placement transactions were carried out, the transactions themselves, and the notes and warrants are described in detail below.

Share Exchange Agreement

On February 12, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with the owners of all of the outstanding shares of Hong Hui.   Under the terms of the share exchange agreement we issued and delivered to the Hong Hui stockholders a total of 72,551,020 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Hong Hui.  As a result of the share exchange or reverse merger, Hong Hui became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Hong Hui stockholders became holders of 72,551,020 shares of our common stock.  When we acquired direct control of Hong Hui in the reverse merger, we acquired indirect control of Foshan, as Foshan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technic International Inc., a Hong Kong company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Hui.   As a result, at the closing of the share exchange we ceased to be a shell company as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.  We describe our new operating company below in Item 2.01 of this report.

A copy of the share exchange agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Note Purchase Agreement

On February 12, 2010, immediately following the closing of a share exchange agreement we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain accredited investors  for the sale of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,140,000 and warrants.   The closing of the sale of the notes and warrants occurred on February 12, 2010.  The terms of the notes and warrants is set forth below. The note purchase agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants which are customary for transactions of this nature.

The note purchase agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.2.
 
Terms of the Notes
 
The notes have the following material terms:
 
Maturity: The notes mature after one year.  If principal is not is not paid on maturity then 150% of the principal amount shall be payable.

Interest:     10% per annum payable quarterly increasing to 15% if there is a default. $204,464 is being held in escrow out of the closing proceeds to cover the first six months interest.

Conversion:    In the event of the closing of any equity or series of related financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved in writing by the holder(s) of notes evidencing at least 50% of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding), a “qualified financing,” prior to the maturity date of the notes, the principal amount of the notes converts automatically into the securities sold in such financing at a 65% discount to the offering price of such securities.
  
The form of note is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this report.

Terms of the Warrants

Set forth below are the material terms of the warrants issued at the closing:

 
6

 

Exercisable:   The warrants are exercisable at any time during a five-year period commencing on the closing of a “financing,” which means the first sale (or series of related sales) by us of stock (or debt or equity securities convertible into stock), in a capital raising transaction, occurring after the maturity date (or the date the notes become due pursuant to a default, if earlier) with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000.   The warrants cannot be exercised if no financing is consummated within five-year period after the issue date and become void if the notes automatically convert into common stock.

Number of Shares:  The warrants represent the right to purchase 8% of the total shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately after the closing of the financing.

Exercise Price:   The warrants are exercisable at the price for which the shares of common stock (or common stock equivalent if derivative securities are sold) are sold in the financing.  If the financing includes more than one type of security, the exercise price shall equal the lowest price per share of common stock or common stock equivalent included in the financing.

The form of warrant is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this report.

Limited Recourse Guaranty and Pledge Agreement

Our obligations under the note are guaranteed by Bestyield Group Limited, a BVI company controlled by Mr. Li, our chief executive officer, and Proudlead Limited, a BVI company controlled by Mr. Law, our president of sales and a director, the “management shareholders,” under a limited recourse guaranty which is secured by a pledge by the management shareholders of the 43,530,612 shares of our common stock received by the management shareholders in the reverse merger.

The limited recourse guaranty is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.4. The pledge agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 4.4.

Registration Rights Agreement
 
Under the registration rights agreement we agreed that if we file a registration statement in connection with a “qualified financing,” we will include in that registration statement for resale the securities issuable on conversion of the notes or the warrants, as the case may be, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
 
In  event the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Rule 415, does not permit us to register all of the applicable registrable securities in the initial registration statement, we will use our  best efforts to register the registrable securities that were not registered in the initial registration statement, as soon as the Commission permits us to do so.
 
In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s)  reasonably objects to the inclusion of the registrable securities in any registration statement, then if we, after consultation with the managing underwriter, determine that the inclusion of such registrable securities would significantly harm the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and recommend inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the registrable securities, then (x) the number of registrable securities included in the registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such holders (based upon the number of registrable securities requested to be included in the registration),  or (y) none of the registrable securities shall be included in the registration statement. If securities are being offered for the account of other persons as well as us then the reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of registrable securities than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons (other than the company).

In addition, we granted the investors certain demand rights and customary piggyback rights with respect to the securities issuable on conversion of the notes and on exercise of the warrants.

If (a) we fail to file a registration statement within 30 days of a demand notice, the “demand file date” or (b) the registration statement is not effective within 180 days after filing (or, in the case of subsequent registration statements filed under Rule 415, 90 days after filing or 120 days in the event that registration statement receives a full review), we have agreed to pay the investors two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount of the notes for each month (or part thereof) that it is late (capped at 10%). No liquidated damages are payable with respect to any shares required to be omitted as a result of the operation of Rule 415.

The registration rights agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 4.3.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As a result of the reverse merger described in Item 1.01 above, which was completed on February 12, 2010 we became the parent company of Hong Hui and the indirect parent of Hong Hui’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Foshan.

Foshan, based in the PRC, is engaged in the manufacture sale, and research and development of advanced spun-bond PET (polyester) non-wovens.

As a result of the reverse merger we ceased being a shell company.

Organizational History of Perpetual Technologies.

Perpetual Technologies was organized as Molokai Enterprises, Inc., on November 27, 1996 under the laws of the State of Colorado.

Form 1996 to 2006 Molokai was dormant.

Molokai changed its domicile from Colorado to Delaware in April 2007 by merging with and into Perpetual Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized for that purpose on March 15, 2007.

Prior to the reverse merger Perpetual had no operations or substantial assets. Accordingly, Perpetual was deemed to be a "blank check" or shell company, that is, a development-stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or other acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.

On February 12, 2010, immediately prior to the share exchange, 12,640,000 shares of common stock held by a number of our shareholders were surrendered for cancellation in exchange for $40,000 in cash paid by Joseph Nemelka, at which time our two former directors, Joseph Nemelka and Seth Winterton, appointed Jie Li and Chris Bickel, as directors and immediately thereafter resigned themselves as our directors and officers. On February 12, 2010, our new directors, Jie Li and Chris Bickel appointed Jie Li as chief executive officer, Ting (Maggie) Wang as chief financial officer, Law Wawai as president of sales and a director, Shijun Zeng, chief technology officer and Wei Yang as secretary and approved the reverse merger and private financing.
 
On February 12, 2010, our new board of directors approved (i) a one-for-five reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock and (ii) the change of our name from Perpetual Technologies to Chinese Special Materials Co. Ltd. Stockholders holding shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a shareholders’ meeting consented in writing to these actions. On February 12, 2010, contemporaneously with the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we filed an information statement on Schedule 14C relating to the reverse split and our proposed name change. The reverse split will be effective on filing a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware which we plan to do 20 days after the mailing of the definitive information statement to our stockholders.

Perpetual Technologies has no operations or substantial assets other than those of Foshan, and prior to the share exchange its business plan was to seek out and obtain candidates with which it could merge or whose operations or assets could be acquired through the issuance of common stock and possibly debt.

Organizational History of Hong Hui
 
Hong Hui is a holding company which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 6, 2010.

Prior to the share exchange, the shares of Hong Hui were owned by the following BVI entities:

Bestyield Group Limited, 30%
Proudlead Limited BVI, 30%
Newise Holdings, 16%
Pilot Link International Limited, 11.5%
High Swift Limited, 7.5 %
China Investment Inc. 5%

As a result of the share exchange all of the shares of Hong Hui are held by us and Hong Hui is our wholly owned subsidiary.

Organizational History of Foshan S.L.P. Special Materials Co. Ltd.

Introduction

Foshan was established in 2000 as a joint venture under PRC law and it became a wholly-owned foreign enterprise, or “WOFE”, in 2005 with all of its equity interests now held by Technic.
 
Origins

Foshan was created as a limited liability company in Foshan, China, under the name Foshan S.L.P. Special Materials Co., Ltd., upon issuance by the Foshan Bureau of Commerce of a business license.  At that time, Foshan was licensed to engage in the manufacture sale and research and development of advanced spun bond PET polyester non-wovens.

Our Business
Overview

Foshan is a technologically advanced nonwovens company engaged in the manufacturing and sale, and research and development, of spun-bond PET (polyester) nonwoven fabrics in the PRC.

We distribute our nonwoven products principally in the PRC.   Approximately 81.67% and 77.1%, respectively, of our revenues during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 were derived from sales in the PRC.   In recent years, our products were successfully launched in Europe, North America and South East Asia.  Our products have won significant acceptance and we enjoy a substantial reputation for quality with both domestic and foreign customers.
 
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 we had total sales revenues of $11.8 and $11.6 million, respectively and net profits of $2.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the same periods.
 
We recently developed a continuous filament, spun-bond, needle-punched manufacturing production process to manufacture polyphenylene sulfide fiber or PPS, a specialized type of high temperature resistant nonwoven fabric. We believe that we are the first company in the world to develop this process and have applied for a process patent in the PRC for this process (Patent No. PRC: 201010102660.2) and we intend to apply for patent protection in North America & Europe.  In comparison to filtering materials currently available, we believe that our nonwoven fabric will be stronger, have lower production and operating costs, and will have higher filtration efficiency.   We have tested our PPS material non woven fabric and, although the material has not yet been deployed by any industrial end user we believe that our material has the potential to replace the materials and products currently available in the market and become the most popular filtration material in the high temperature environment.
 
We believe that due to our substantial research and development expertise, in the areas of technology, equipment and products, we could become one of the leading manufacturers of high-tech special environmental protection materials in the world.

Nonwovens

Nonwoven fabrics are flat, flexible porous sheets produced by interlocking or entangling fibers or filaments or by perforating films mechanically, thermally or chemically.   They are not made by weaving or knitting and do not require converting the fibers to yarn.  Nonwovens provide certain qualities similar to those found in textiles but at a significantly lower cost.  Nonwoven fabrics can be either a limited life, single-use fabric or a very durable fabric.  Nonwoven fabrics provide specific functions such as absorbency, liquid repellency, resilience, stretch, softness, strength, flame retardancy, washability, cushioning, filtering, bacterial barrier and sterility. These properties are often combined to create fabrics suited for specific jobs, while achieving a good balance between product use-life and cost. They can mimic the appearance, texture and strength of a woven fabric and can be as bulky as the thickest padding.  In combination with other materials they provide a spectrum of products with diverse properties, and are used alone or as components of apparel, home furnishings, health care, engineering, and industrial and consumer goods.

Our Existing Products

We currently manufacture:

 
·
normal polyester (PET) filament spun-bond thermal calendared nonwoven fabrics; and
 
·
polyester (PET) filament spun-bond needle-punching geo-membrane and waterproof materials.

Our existing products are sold principally to converters that manufacture a wide range of end-use products, including filter media, road construction material, home furnishings, automotive interior insulation, and industrial packaging.

Polyester (PET) filament spun-bond thermal calendared nonwoven fabric

This product is made from polyester.  Our products are 15-260g/m2 in weight filament fine 1 .0-3.0dpf, width maximum 3.3m.and performs effectively in high temperatures, is anti-corrosive, anti-aging and has a long life for usage (1-2 years for filtration; 5 years to 10 years for auto decoration; and 5 years for other applications). It also maintains its shape and penetration.  This product is used for filtration, water-drainage, packing and automobile inner decoration and insulation.
 
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 sales of this product accounted for $9,007,185 and $11,612,000, or 76% and 100%, respectively, of our total sales for such periods.
 
Our main customers for this product 2009 were manufacturers of filters and home furnishings

Polyester (PET) filament spun-bond needle-punched geo-membrane and waterproof materials.

This product is made from polyester and is one of the most important new construction materials being used in the PRC – the traditional construction materials have been brick, wood, steel and cement.
 
In February 2009 we installed a production line with annual capacity of 4,000 tons for the production of polyester (PET) filament, needle punched, geo-membrane and water-proof materials.  Sales of these products were $2,842,101 in fiscal 2009 representing 24.5 % or our total revenue for 2009.
 
Geo-membranes are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, and/or drain. Geo-membranes can be used in an innovative way to improve soil strength instead of the conventional manner of soil nailing.  The cost to improve soil strength in this way is much less expensive than soil nailing. In addition, with the use of geo-membrane, steep slopes can be planted with vegetation to enhance the aesthetic value. Geo-membranes are the largest group of geo synthetics in terms of volume and are used in geo- technical engineering, heavy construction, building and pavement construction, hydrogeology, and environment engineering.  Overall, these materials can yield certain benefits in geotechnical and environmental engineering designs. These products have a wide range of applications and are currently used with significant advantages in many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, soil bank protection and coastal engineering.
 
This product is also an important construction material based on its excellent waterproofing capabilities and performance.  It is mainly used for roofing waterproofing.  PET waterproofing materials were popularized in Europe at the end of 1980 and account for over 40% of the market of waterproof materials.  In China, as of 2000, less than 20 million square meters of this kind of material were used, however, the volume has been increasing rapidly year over year. The market volume of PET waterproofing materials increased to 70 million square meters in 2002. It is estimated that the market will continue to increase rapidly in the coming years and will reach over 200 million square meters in 2010.  At present, geo-membranes consume 20% of the total market of waterproofing materials in China. Foshan expects to increase their market share of geo-membrane and waterproofing materials as the popularity for the use of waterproofing increases in China.

New Product Development

New Proprietary Production Process for Extremely High Temperature resistant polyphenylene-sulfide fiber, or PPS.
 
We recently developed a continuous filament, spun-bond, needle-punched manufacturing production process for the manufacture of polyphenylene-sulfide fiber, or PPS fiber.  This material is suitable for high temperature applications in smoke stacks and other waste emissions filtering.
 
We plan to install three production (3) lines to begin commercialization of this process in July 2010.  These three production  lines will have an annual output capacity of 3,600 tons of PPS fiber.

Polyphenylene-sulfide fiber, known as PPS fiber, features one new type of high-tech fiber material with a multitude of advantages — excellent heat resistance, corrosion-proof, and flame retardant. This product can be applied widely, reaching many sectors, specifically, environmental protection, chemical industry filtration, and the military. PPS’ specific uses include high temperature bag filters for coal-fired power plant dust-removal, garbage incinerators, bag filters for cement factories, various protective cloths, heat-resistant fabric, insulating material, electrolysis membranes, friction pieces for brakes, filtering material for hot corrosive reagents as well as special paper for the electronic industry.

PPS needle-punching filtration materials have been utilized in the bag filters of coal burning boilers in Europe and the US since 1979. Currently, bag dust cleaning equipment is used in approximately 80% of coal power and coal burning boiler dust clean equipment processes. The filtration bags all use PPS fabrics. During the past decade, the annual growth rate for PPS fabric demand in coal power generation and coal burning boiler industries in Europe, the US, and Japan has been 25%. With the increasing importance of global environmental protection in developing countries such as India and Brazil, the use of the dust cleaning bag technique has increased and thereby the demand for PPS fabrics has increased worldwide.

Our PPS high temperature resistance filter bag material is produced by the filament spun-bond needle-punching method. This technology is exclusive worldwide. This product can bear consecutive 190 0C high temperatures with advantages of anti-acid, anti-alkali, anti-oxidizer and stability. By comparison to the current PPS filter materials, our product is of longer life (3 years at 190-230 0C), stronger strength (because of filament), and lower operation and production costs. This product promises to be the best filter bag material for high temperature, humid and chemical environments in the world.
 
Application of the PPS fiber in environmental protection, chemical filtration and flame retardant fabric is difficult to replace by the use of any other kind of fabric. China is currently in the midst of industrialization with an enormous economic volume. China’s output of iron and steel, cement, coal, fertilizer and power generation all rank as first or second in the world. China’s consumption also ranks in the top two (2) in the world. Due to outdated technology and equipment in China’s chemical industries, raw materials industries, and energy industries - - China encounters problems of severe consumption of energy and resources, as well as heavy pollution due to accelerated urbanization. Bag filters are the solution to pollutants of smoke dust and powder dust because they feature high efficiency in air pollution reduction. Adopting PPS fiber as a filtration material, in combination with other treatment technology, pollutants of powder dust, smoke dust, sulfur dioxide and dioxin can be controlled and contained. With increasing demand for environmental protection, high temperature resistant, acid and alkali proof needle- punched felt becomes more necessary and in demand. This is especially true in Japan where government regulation has shut down dioxin emissions from incinerators and the government has demanded dust collection at low temperature for incinerators.
 
As China’s government imposes stricter policies upon environmental protection, industrial gaseous dust emission limits have become stricter. These emissions are targeted to be less than 50mg/m3 by the end of 2010. Already, some of the larger, more developed cities have independently improved their own standard to 20-30mg/m3. As a comparison, the standard in North America and Europe is normally 10-20mg/m3, and 1-5mg/m3 for waste incinerators. Reducing emission pollution has been a focus for the Chinese Central Government for several years and is expected to keep that focus moving forward. In accordance with such governmental regulations, existing water foam and static dust removal technology is not capable of meeting the demands of the government regulations. This, in turn, increases the demand for filter bag type dust removal techniques. As PPS felt is most applicable to exhaust dust removal of coal-fired power plants, the metallurgical industry, and garbage incinerators, the demand for fiber grade PPS products will increase substantially.
 
Thermal power plants (mostly coal fired) are our target customers – those without automatic scrubbing systems installed – that utilize filter bags for carbon emissions control.

Additionally, we will pursue the Steel industry as high temperature emissions are a major source of pollution. Their demand for bag filters is large. Steel output in China has exceeded 300 million tons. At Baosteel (the largest Steel manufacturer in China) the total demand for filtration materials is 21 million m2, most of which are chemical fiber filtration materials. Assuming 3.5 year average life of the filters, the annual demand for changing filtration material is about 7 million m2.
 
In recent years in cement industry with the use of new dry method cement production lines has become a targeted industry for high temperature emissions control and consequently, the demand for bag filters is increasing. The newly built cement ovens with production output of 3,000t/d, 5,000t/d, 10,000t/d have large demand for bag filters and demand for PPS filtration materials.
 
Aside from the environment protection sector, PPS fibers can also be used in chemical filtration which requires strong performance in anti-corrosion and high heat resistance such as organic acid and nonorganic acid, phenol and strong solvents.
 
Our customers for the PPS product are filter bag manufacturers and engineering companies.
Currently, the materials used for high temperature emissions are: PTFE, fibre glass, P84, PBI, PMIA, PSA, PPS, etc. The end use products are PPC needle punched felt, Metamax needle punched felt, P84 needle punched felt, PTE needle punched felt, etc.

Growth Strategy
 
Our growth strategy in the near term is to:
 
 
·
Expand our export markets for our existing products. We have significant advantages over our international competitors in that we produce all of our products in the PRC where we enjoy lower production costs than our competitors which will enable us to compete effectively in the export market; and
 
 
·
Create additional applications for our existing products, both domestically and internationally;
 
Our growth strategy in the medium and long term is to:
 
 
·
Increase production and sale of our existing products by adding additional lines of production.   We are currently operating in a market where we cannot meet the demand for our existing products and output can be increased by the addition of  lines of production which we plan to do by raising additional capital;
 
 
·
Commence production of  a special type of spun-bond, needle punched PPS fiber suitable for use in high temperature applications using our proprietary process. (Process Patent Application file No. in PRC: 201010102660.2).
 
Our growth is restricted by our lack of production capacity.  In order to increase our production capacity we will need to raise additional capital.
 
In February 2009 we completed the installation of an additional spun-bond, needle-punched production line with annual capacity of 4,000 tons of polyester (PET) filament, needle punched, geo-membrane and water-proof material.   The addition of this production line contributed $2,842,101, or 24.5%, or our total revenue of $11,611,719 for all of 2009.

The customers for this product will mainly be the bag filters manufacturers for coal-fired boilers, especially coal-fired power plants. We will focus on the application in the coal-fired power plants initially as this is currently the most suitable and largest market for PPS filtration materials. China has the largest coal-fired power plant industry in the world. Presently, China has 620 million KW of installed capacity – according to 2009 data. Given 50% (it is 80% in US and Europe) of the facilities utilize bag filters, the consumption of filtration materials is 0.25sqm/kw (500g/m2). The demand of filtration materials for 620 million KW of installed capacity in 2009 was 40,750 tons. Given the life of the PPS material - three (3) years - there is ongoing demand of 13,600 tons for replacement annually. It is estimated that the installed capacity of coal-fired power plants will be 859 million KW by the end of 2010. This will create an additional 15,000 tons of PPS demand for new installations and an additional 15,000 tons for replacement annually.  (Source: China Power)
 
Raw Materials

The primary raw material used in the manufacture of most of our products is polyester resin    The price of this is a function of, among other things, capacity, demand and the price of crude oil.

Our major suppliers or raw materials are Foshan Chemical Fibers Co., Ltd.,  Kaiping Chunhui Co., Ltd., and Zhuhai Yuhua Polyester Co., Ltd.  We believe that the loss of any one or more of its suppliers would not have a long-term material adverse effect on our business because other manufacturers with whom we conduct business would be able to fulfill our requirements.
 
During fiscal 2007, 2008 and 2009 we paid approximately $4.2 million, $5.2 million and $5.6 million for the purchase of raw materials.

Manufacturing Facility  

Our manufacturing facility is located in Foshan City in Guangdong Province in the PRC and has over 10,000 square meters of operating space and sits on 40,000 square meters of land.   We use state of the art manufacturing equipment imported from Germany.

 
15

 

We believe that the quality of our manufacturing operations and the breadth of our nonwovens process technologies gives us a competitive advantage in meeting the current and future needs of our customers and in leading the development of an expanded range of applications for nonwovens.
 
Existing Lines of Production
 
We currently operate three spun-bond production lines.  Two of these production lines are thermal calendared lines with annual capacity of 4,000 tons of polyester filament, thermal calendared, nonwoven fabric.  The third spun bond line is a needle-punching production line which commenced operation in February 2009.   This production line has an annual capacity of 4,000 tons of polyester filament, needle punched, geo-membrane and water-proofing material.
 
New Lines of Production
 
We plan to begin production of the first filament, spun-bond, needle-punching production lines in the world in July 2010 with the addition of three high tech production lines.  These three (3) lines will have an annual output capacity of 3,600 tons of PPS high temperature resistant filtration material.
 
Manufacturing Processes

Our competitive strengths include low-cost, high-quality manufacturing processes and a broad range of process technologies, which allow us to offer our customers the best-suited product for each respective application.  Additionally, we have made significant capital investments in modern technology and have developed proprietary processes. We believe that we exceed industry standards in productivity, reduction of variability and delivery lead time.
 
Spun-bond
 
Polymer pellets are introduced into an extruder which produces continuous filaments that are cooled and stretched to give them strength. The filaments are then laid on a moving belt to form a web that is then thermally bonded between two temperature controlled steel rolls. Some bonding rolls have a pattern that is embossed into the web. Spun-bonds are typically made from homopolymers such as polypropylene, polyester, or nylon. Some spun-bond materials are made from two polymer families creating a bicomponent fabric

Spun-laced Nonwovens
 
Baled staple fiber is introduced to a carding machine to create a batt. The batt of unbonded fibers is then transferred via a mesh conveyor or perforated cylinders where it is processed through a high pressure water system that entangles the fibers to create the finished product. Fiber blends and finishes can vary depending on desired properties.
 
Needle-punch Nonwovens
 
Baled staple fibers are introduced to a carding machine that distributes the fibers based on the desired basis weight. The batt of fiber is then needled by an oscillating needle board. The fibers are mechanically bonded by barbed needles entangling the fibers. The density of the fabric is controlled by the number of needle boards used.
 
Sales and Marketing

Our non woven products are distributed throughout the PRC in all 20 provinces.  In 2003, our products were successfully launched in Europe, North America and South East Asia. In fiscal 2009, 81% and 18.8% of our sales revenues were generated from sales made in the PRC and internationally, respectively, compared 77.1% and 22.9%, in 2008.

 
16

 

As of January 2010, we employed ten direct sales representatives, 8 of whom are engineers who have advanced technical knowledge of our products and the applications for which they are used.   Six of these sales representatives are responsible for national sales and four are responsible for international sales.  Representatives receive a salary plus commission for the revenues they generate.
 
The sales process consists of identifying potential customers through cold calls, responses to marketing efforts, and customer references.  Once a potential customer is identified, our sales people aid in identifying the prospect’s technical requirements and help the customer’s engineers to produce drawings of the finished products desired. Armed with this technical information, our sales personnel then quote pricing, production quantities, and lead times. Most of our customers are repeat customers and the sales force is also responsible for after-sale support, including quality assurances, dispute resolution, and relationship-building.
 
We promote our products primarily through exhibitions, internet advertising and marketing, and referrals from existing customers as well as suppliers.
 
Markets for our Existing Products
 
Because we are strategically located in a market where supply is not sufficient to meet demand, the output and sale of our core products will be increased merely by adding production capacity. We expect to further penetrate the market immediately and increase the sale and use of our products into 2010 and beyond
 
Research and Development
 
We believe, that due to our substantial research and development expertise,  we could become one of the leading manufacturers of high-tech special environmental protection materials in the world.
 
Our research & development department has what we believe to be the strongest research and development capabilities in the development of products, processes and equipment in the nonwovens industry in China.
 
As of September 30, 2009, our research and development staff consisted of 20 scientists, professional, engineering and technical personnel.  Our research and development team is lead by Mr. Yao Mu,, a senior engineer in the industry and former president of Northwestern Polytechnical University.  Additionally, Mr. Zeng Shijun, is employed by our R&D department and is qualified as a senior engineer in the industry and holds 5 patents.  These 5 patents are currently being transferred to the Company. In addition, our senior managers possess comprehensive  technical backgrounds.   Mr. Li Jie, our chief executive officer and a senior engineer is a certified chemical engineer.   Mr. Li is the Associate President of the China Industrial Textile Association and an expert in his field.  His independent research is funded by the Department of State.   Mr. Ye Xi-Ping, Vice President of Production, is a senior engineer and certified automation engineer.

THE NONWOVEN INDUSTRY – GLOBAL OVERVIEW
 
Technical textiles are one of the two fastest growing sectors of the textile industry worldwide. Since 1985, the global market size of this particular sector has, on an average, grown by 3.8% per year.  In 2004 global nonwoven capacity was 4.5 million tons with a value of US$16 billion and is expected to grow at a annual rate of  6% growth until 2010.  (Source: Nonwoven Industry Magazine  - “Development & Expectation of Nonwoven Industry of China & Overseas.”

In 2006, China’s technical textiles capacity reached 4.537 million tons, 24% higher than 2005.   Total consumption of technical textiles in 2008 reached 19.60 million tons, is expected  to reach 33.8 million tons in 2010. (Source: Textile Lead.)
 
THE NON-WOVEN INDUSTRY IN THE PRC
 
History
 
In 1965 China entered the industrialized production of nonwovens.
 
In 1980 the total output of nonwovens in China was less than 10,000 tons.
 
Since 1980 China’s nonwovens industry has enjoyed continuous and rapid growth.  The average annual growth rate reached 19.6% in the 1980’s, 18.8% in the 1990s and 19.7% since 2000.
 
In 2002 China’s output of nonwovens exceeded 600,000 tons  an increase of 50% compared with 2001, and ranked No. 2 in the world next to the U.S.

As China deepened its understanding of the utility of nonwovens, its applications grew rapidly. The current demand in both domestic and overseas markets is increasing rapidly, specifically in the overseas markets for medical, cosmetic and disposable goods.

As of  September 2009, China’s total output was 926,918 tons, a year over year increase of 25.15%.  Due to the financial crisis during the first half of 2009 the exports of nonwovens decreased by 4% and by midyear this decline was slowing and the industry appeared to improving.  Nonwovens enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta and Zhujiang River Delta are improving and, the quality of products is improving, therefore companies are building their own brand names while consumption is increasing.

In 2008, China’s nonwovens production capacity was 2 million tons, ranking it at No. 1 in the world and was expected to increase to   2.4 million tons in 2009 (with 1 million tons of these being  spunbonded nonwovens.)

In 2009 the demand for auto nonwovens exceeded 58,000 tons of product,  112,000 tons for home textile product, 20,000 tons for vertical drain material for construction engineering, 118,000 tons for waterproof  material,  56,500 tons for various filtration materials and 76,000tons for geo-textile. (Source: China Industrial Textile Association)

In the foregoing products, the export demand for waterproof material of 130g-160 g/m² and various filtration materials of  160-260g/m² will exceed 30,000 tons and 50,000 tons, respectively. (Source: National Nonwovens Tech-info Centre)

China’s Consumption of Nonwovens is Growing

China’s consumption of technical nonwovens is growing, with an annual average growth of 11% since 1998.  The demand for nonwovens comes from several sectors including the construction, clothing and automobiles industries.  This increasing demand cannot be covered by existing domestic production alone.
 
Production of nonwovens in the PRC for the nine month period ending September 2009  reached 926,918 tons, representing an 25.2% increase over the corresponding period in the prior year.  (Source: Chinese Technical Textiles and Nonwovens Industry, 2009).
 
Rapid Growth in China’s Nonwovens Industry
 
According to the China Nonwovens & Industrial Textiles Association, or CNITA, the nonwoven industry of China continued to grow during 2009.  The aggregate production of all kinds of nonwovens was projected in excess of 1.6 million tons. The fastest growing fields were spun-bond and needle-punch nonwovens.
 
From January to August of 2009, China exported $486.4 million of nonwovens, a decrease of 4.27% year on year.  The domestic market continues to grow as well with several major nonwovens producers based in China. While these producers tend to largely sell products to local converters, their output continues to become more sophisticated as does the export rate.
 
Currently in the PRC, there are an estimated 500-600 nonwovens manufacturers' producing nonwovens on an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 lines. (Source: Chinese Technical Textiles and Nonwovens Industry, 2009
 
In 2008 there were 23 manufacturers of PET nonwovens in the PRC, 27 production lines with a total capacity of  66,500 tons (Source: Guangdong Nonwoven Association).
 
Most of the nonwovens industry is centered in the eastern industrialized areas of the country. For example, the province of Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong, is one of the principal nonwovens production areas within China and accounts for one-third of the country’s total nonwovens production.
 
Opportunity to Increase Exports
 
As the utility and popularity of nonwovens increases, so does the opportunity to expand exports. Exports of nonwovens steadily increased from 2000-2007.
 
Continued Rapid Growth of Nonwovens in China
 
The market for nonwovens in China continues to grow due to both foreign investment and domestic initiatives.  In 2008, industry estimates put the size of the Chinese nonwovens market at over 2 million tons. This remarkable growth has increased China’s share in the global nonwovens market. The country now makes about 20% of the world’s nonwovens compared to just 3.7% in 1989, according to statistics recently released by INDA (Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry) in North America and EDANA (European Disposables and Nonwovens Association) in Europe. We expect this share to rise to 25% by 2015.
 
In 2008, spunbonded meltblown material capacity was 678,000 tons, with percentage of 50.33%,  needlepunched material 325,000 tons, chemical bonded material 89,000 tons, thermal bonded material 89,000 tons, spunlace material 112,000 tons, stitch bond material 13,000 tons ( data source: Asian Nonwoven Industry’s statistics report of China’s nonwovens capacity in 2008) , currently in China, near half of nonwovens are thermal bonded and meltblown process, other main technic includes needlepunched 290,000 tons, chemical bonded 84,000 tons, spunlace 92,000 tons.  (Source: “Chinese Market Creates New Opportunities For Global Nonwovens Industry October 2009, Karen McIntyre)

Explosive Growth in 2008
 
According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, from January to September 2009, China’s nonwovens production rose 25.2% from a year earlier to 926,918 tons. (Source: “Chinese Market Creates New Opportunities For Global Nonwovens Industry October 2009, Karen McIntyre)
 
China’s Nonwovens Industry Will Continue to Grow
 
Nonwovens activity has been heating up in China as the industry looks to cash in on the tremendous growth opportunity this huge country presents. With a population of nearly 1.4 billion, this massive consumer audience could be just the spot major converters of nonwoven materials, such as diaper producers, are looking for to grow their businesses in the 21st century. In 2004, China accounted for nearly half of the nonwovens output in the Asia-Pacific region, according to statistics furnished by INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, and it is estimated that the nonwovens industry in China will grow 12% per year during the next several years. In the past 10 years, output there has increased more than five-fold, from 115,000 to 650,000 tons.

In recent years, the nonwovens segment has witnessed dynamic growth in both quality and quantity. The global output of nonwovens was about 6.1 million tons in  2008, of which,  32.8%came from China, representing  2 million tons. (Source: Textile & Nonwoven Industry Global Market Research )
 
Technical nonwovens accounted for 15.42% of the total output of textile and fiber production in China in 2007, up 12.97% from the previous year, according to industry estimates. The actual output of nonwovens production was 1.72 million tons in 2007, up 23.27% from the previous year.  (Source: China – Nonwovens May See Bright Future In Dark Time November 25, 2008)

Factors Driving Expansion of Nonwovens in China

There is a significant gap between the nonwovens industry in China and the nonwovens industry in Europe and the US in terms of technical level, quality level, and competitiveness. China’s nonwovens market is still emerging and, therefore, the timing is optimum for Foshan to capitalize on those aspects of the nonwovens industry that have made it difficult for Chinese nonwoven companies to emerge historically.

Some of the reasons the Chinese nonwovens market is ripe for expansion are as follows:
 
 
·
Lack of market segments:   Nonwoven products are applied to various fields such as industry, garment and interior decor. The existing market is expanding and new markets are emerging.  China’s nonwoven industry production capacities are still concentrated on normal traditional products, such as polyester wadding, interlining, geo-textile, hygiene, packaging materials and normal filtration materials. Companies do not possess clear market focus and are competing in the same market segments which has caused capacity concentration and fierce competition.
 
 
·
Strength for market and product development is not substantial:  In China, the demand for the higher technology based PET spin-bonded products is currently over 40 million m2. These products are currently all imported, mainly from Freudenberg (Taiwan). The price for these products is over USD $5,000/ton. Some of the domestic Chinese companies have been trying to develop these products but, to date; no such products have been launched. If such products are developed at a lower cost in the domestic market, then the Chinese domestic market for highly technical nonwovens will be expanded.
 
 
·
The size of private companies is small and those companies, therefore, lack  international competitiveness:  In 2008, average production capacity of spunbonded companies are 4000 tons, exact production capacity is 2700 tons, production lines total 307.

 
23

 
 
 
·
The products are low-end:  Currently, it is not possible to provide several products that are necessary to special applications within the domestic and international markets.
 
China’s nonwovens industry has a large capacity to develop and expand. The nonwoven output will increase substantially when the nonwoven industry expands and meets the technical demands of the international market.  Although Foshan is significant in terms of capacity and output is integral that we increase and expand our technical capabilities, output capacity, research and development abilities and innovative capabilities. With an increase in the size of Foshan, there will be a greater degree of participation and competitiveness within both the international and domestic markets.

RISK FACTORS
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
We need to increase output capacity in order to grow; to increase our output we need to raise capital to buy additional production equipment; we also need to raise capital to fully commercialize our products in development; if we are unable to  raise capital we will be unable to expand.
 
Our growth strategy requires us to raise output capacity and commercialize our products in development.  This will requires us to purchase additional equipment for which we will need to raise additional capital.   We plan to raise additional financing through public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings.  We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution and the price of our common stock could be materially negatively affected. Any debt financing, if available, would result in us incurring costs relating to interest payments and we may be required to pledge assets as security for the debt and may be constrained by restrictive financial and/or operational covenants.  If we are unable to raise additional capital, when required, or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and /or the commercialization of one or more of our products. Accordingly, any failure to raise adequate capital in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth prospects.
 
Our success will depend in part on the market acceptance of our PPS nonwoven fabric, for use in air bag filters for control of pollutant emissions, by thermal power plants, steel manufacturers, operators of garbage incinerators and other potential users.

We recently developed a continuous filament, spun-bond, needle-punched manufacturing production process for the manufacture of polyphenylene-sulfide fiber, or PPS nonwoven fabric, which is a specialized type of high temperature resistant nonwoven fabric.   PPS nonwoven fabric has many applications including filtration of pollutant emissions and chemical industry filtration.  We believe PPS nonwoven fabric can be used as the material to manufacture high temperature bag filters for coal-fired power plant dust-removal, garbage incinerators and cement factories.  PPS can also be used as heat-resistant fabric, insulating material, electrolysis membranes, friction pieces for brakes, filtering material for hot corrosive reagents as well as special paper for the electronic industry.
 
Although our PPS nonwoven fabric has been tested in laboratories a prototype has not been tested on site by any thermal power plant or other potential end user.   Our new PPS nonwoven fabric may never achieve broad market acceptance, due to any number of factors, including:
 
 
the product may prove to be ineffective on site; and
 
 
competitive material may be introduced which renders our products and technologies too expensive or obsolete;

Market acceptance will also depend on our ability to demonstrate that our products and technologies are an attractive alternative to existing emission control options.  Our ability to do so will depend on the users’ evaluations of the safety, efficacy, ease of use, reliability and cost-effectiveness of these products and technologies.
 
If our products and technologies are not broadly accepted in the marketplace, we may not achieve a competitive position in the market and we will not achieve anticipated profits and our business will suffer.

 
25

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.

We commenced production of spun-bond thermal calendaring nonwovens in 2000 and so we have a limited operating history.  Prior to February 2009 we had two production lines of spun-bond thermal calendaring nonwovens.  In February 2009 we added a third production line for spun-bond needle-punching or spun bound polyester filament needle- punched nonwovens.   Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early-stage companies in evolving markets such as that of nonwovens manufacturers in the PRC such as our ability to:

 
·
develop and successfully commercialize new products;

 
·
attract new customers and retain existing customers;

 
·
increase awareness of our products and continue to develop customer loyalty;

 
·
respond to competitive market conditions;

 
·
respond to changes in our regulatory environment;

 
·
manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;

 
·
maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;

 
·
raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business; and

 
·
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
 
Because we are a relatively new company, we may not be experienced enough to address all the risks in our business or in our planned expansion, in a short period of time. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
 
If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, we could lose a significant competitive advantage.
 
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our unique processes against competitive pressure and to defend our intellectual property rights.  If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may use our processes, and manufacture and market similar products using similar processes, which could harm our market share and results of operations.  We consider our process patents to be important to our business and seek to protect our proprietary know-how in part through process patent registrations in the PRC.  We  have applied for a number of process patents in the PRC and maintain certain trade secrets for which, in order to maintain the confidentiality of such trade secrets, we have not sought patent protection. Existing or future patents or licenses may not provide competitive advantages for our products. Our competitors may challenge, invalidate or avoid the application of any existing or future patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights that we receive or license.  In addition, patent rights may not prevent our competitors from developing their own processes that produce products that are similar or functionally equivalent to our products.  The loss of protection for our intellectual property could reduce the market value of our products, reduce product sales, lower our profits, and impair our financial condition.

 
26

 
 
Rapid technological changes could render one of more of our technologies or products obsolete resulting in reduced demand for our products.
 
Technologies change rapidly in our industry.  If one of our competitors successfully introduces a technology or product which is superior to our technology or products one or more or our products could become obsolete and the demand for our products will be harmed.
 
We face intense competition, which could result in reduced acceptance and demand for our products and technologies.
 
We compete with a number of companies in the PRC and internationally that engage in the manufacture and development of nonwovens that have similar applications as our products.   Many of our competitors have much greater financial, technical, research, marketing, distribution, service and other resources than we have.  Moreover, our competitors may offer a broader array of products and technologies or may have greater name recognition than we do in the marketplace.  Our competitors, including several development stage companies, may develop or market technologies that are more effective or commercially attractive than ours, or that may render our technologies obsolete.
 
The loss of a few of our large volume customers could significantly reduce our revenues and profits.
 
A significant amount of our products are sold to a relatively small number of customers.  For example, sales to Chengdu Sanya represented approximately 9% of our net sales in fiscal 2009.  Sales to our top 20 customers represented approximately 58.2% of our net sales in fiscal 2009.  As a result, a decrease in business from, or the loss of, any large volume customer such as Chengdu Sanya could significantly reduce our product sales and lower our profits.
 
Increases in prices for raw materials or the unavailability of raw materials could reduce our profit margins.
 
The primary raw material used to manufacture most of our products is polyester.   In 2009, polyester products accounted for approximately 71% of our cost of sales.  The price of polyester is a function of, among other things, manufacturing capacity, demand and the price of crude oil.  To the extent that we are able to pass along at least a portion of raw material price increases to some of our customers, there is often a delay between the time we are required to pay the increased raw material price and the time we are able to pass the increase on to our customers. To the extent we are not able to pass along all or a portion of such increased prices of raw materials, our cost of goods sold would increase and our operating income would correspondingly decrease.  There can be no assurance that the price of polyester will not increase in the future or that we will be able to pass on any increases to our customers.  Material increases in raw material prices that cannot be passed on to customers could harm on our profit margins, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We have limited capacity in our manufacturing facilities; a material interruption or breakdown in our machinery could prevent or limit our ability to manufacture our products and we may lose revenue.
 
We manufacture all of our products in our existing facility.  We currently have three lines of production in operation. Any disruption of machinery would result in us being incapable of manufacturing products to meet our production requirements.  This may cause us to lose revenue and impair our relationships with our customers.   Without our existing production facilities, we would have no other means of manufacturing products until we were able to restore the manufacturing capability at the facility.  We do not carry business interruption insurance to cover lost revenue and profits.

 
27

 
 
We could incur substantial costs to comply with environmental laws, and violations of such laws may increase costs or require us to change certain business practices.
 
We use a variety of chemicals in our manufacturing operations.  As a result, we are subject to a broad range of environmental laws and regulations. These environmental laws govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the handling, storage and release of wastes and hazardous substances.  We regularly incur costs to comply with environmental requirements, and those costs could increase significantly with changes in legal requirements or their interpretation or enforcement.  We could incur substantial costs as a result of violations of environmental laws.  Failure to comply with environmental requirements could also result in enforcement actions that materially limit or otherwise affect our operations at our manufacturing facilities involved.
 
Our business may be adversely affected by economic downturns
 
 In 2008 and 2009, general worldwide economic conditions and economic condition in the PRC have experienced a downturn due to the sequential effects of the subprime lending crisis in the United States, the credit market and banking crisis, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, increased energy costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns.  These conditions made it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and they could cause businesses to slow spending on our products.  Although we believe that economic conditions have begun to improve we cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the specific end markets we serve.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

The PRC historically has not adopted a western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.
 
We rely on Mr. Jie Li, our chief executive officer, for the management of our business, and the loss of his services could significantly harm our business and prospects.

We depend, to a large extent, on the abilities and participation of our current management team, but have a particular reliance upon Mr. Jie Li, our chief executive officer, for the direction of our business. The loss of the services of Mr. Li for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We cannot assure you that the services of Mr. Li will continue to be available to us, or that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for Mr. Li.  We have entered into an employment contract with Mr. Li, but that agreement does not guarantee Mr. Li’s continuing to manage the company.  We do not have key man insurance on Mr. Li, and if he were to die and we were unable to replace him for a prolonged period of time, we could be unable to carry out our long-term business plan, and our future prospects for growth, and our business, could be harmed.

We may not have adequate internal accounting controls.  While we have certain internal procedures in our budgeting, forecasting, and management and allocation of funds, our internal controls may not be adequate.

We are constantly striving to improve our internal accounting controls. We hope to develop an adequate internal accounting control to budget, forecast, manage and allocate our funds and account for them. There is no guarantee that these improvements will be adequate or successful or that such improvements will be carried out on a timely basis. If we do not have adequate internal accounting controls, we may not be able to appropriately budget, forecast and manage our funds, we may also be unable to prepare accurate accounts on a timely basis to meet our continuing financial reporting obligations and we may not be able to satisfy our obligations under U.S. securities laws.

 
28

 

Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require us to provide an annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and beginning with the fiscal year ended 2010 will require us to provide an attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountants.  The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence may be negatively impacted.
 
We have inadequate insurance coverage.
 
We do not presently maintain product liability insurance, and our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.

Risks related to doing business in the People’s Republic of China

Our business operations are conducted entirely in the PRC. Because China’s economy and its laws, regulations and policies are different from those typically found in the west and are continually changing, we will face risks including those summarized below.

The PRC is a developing nation governed by a one-party government and may be more susceptible to political, economic, and social upheaval than other nations; any such upheaval could cause us to temporarily or permanently cease operations.

China is a developing country governed by a one-party government that imposes restrictions on individual liberties that are significantly stricter than those typically found in western nations. China has an extremely large population, significant levels of poverty, widening income gaps between rich and poor and between urban and rural residents, large minority ethnic and religious populations, and growing access to information about the different social, economic, and political systems to be found in other countries. China has also experienced rapid economic growth over the last decade, and its legal and regulatory systems have changed rapidly to accommodate this growth. These conditions make China unique and may make it susceptible to major structural changes. Such changes could include a reversal of China’s movement to encourage private economic activity, labor disruptions or other organized protests, nationalization of private businesses, internal conflicts between the police or military and the citizenry, and international political or military conflict. If any of these events were to occur, it could damage China’s economy and impair our business.

We are subject to comprehensive regulation by the PRC legal system, which is uncertain. As a result, it may limit the legal protections available to you and us and we may not now be, or remain in the future, in compliance with PRC laws and regulations.

 
29

 

Foshan, our operating company, is incorporated under and is governed by the laws of the PRC; all of our operations are conducted in the PRC.  The PRC government exercises substantial control over virtually every sector of the PRC economy, including the production, distribution and sale of nonwovens.  In particular, we are subject to regulation by local and national branches of the Ministries of Environment Commerce and Health, as well as the General Administration of Quality Supervision, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and other regulatory bodies.  In order to operate under PRC law, we require valid licenses, certificates and permits, which must be renewed from time to time. If we were to fail to obtain the necessary renewals for any reason, including sudden or unexplained changes in local regulatory practice, we could be required to shut down all or part of our operations temporarily or permanently.

Foshan is subject to PRC accounting laws, which require that an annual audit be performed in accordance with PRC accounting standards. The PRC foreign-invested enterprise laws require that our subsidiary, Foshan SLP Special Materials Co., Ltd. submit periodic fiscal reports and statements to financial and tax authorities and maintain its books of account in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. If PRC authorities were to determine that we were in violation of these requirements, we could lose our business license and be unable to continue operations temporarily or permanently.

The legal and judicial systems in the PRC are still rudimentary. The laws governing our business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. Thus, we can offer no assurance that we are, or will remain, in compliance with PRC laws and regulations.

Anti-inflation measures could harm the economy generally and could harm our business.
 
The PRC government exercises significant control over the PRC economy.  In recent years, the PRC government has instituted anti-inflationary measures to curb the risk of inflation. These measures have included devaluations of the RMB, restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, and limited re-centralization of the approval process for some international transactions. These austerity measures may not succeed in controlling inflation, or they may slow the economy below a healthy growth rate and lead to economic stagnation or recession; in the worst-case scenario, the measures could slow the economy without curbing inflation, causing “stagflation.”  The PRC government could adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of price freezes or moratoriums on certain projects or transactions. These measures could harm the economy generally and hurt our business by limiting the income of our customers available to purchase our merchandise, by forcing us to lower our profit margins, and by limiting our ability to obtain credit or other financing to pursue our expansion plans or maintain our business.

Governmental control of currency conversions may affect the value of our stock.

All of our revenue is earned in RMB, and current and future restrictions on currency conversions may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.  Although the PRC government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB  for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises like us may buy, sell or remit foreign currencies only after providing valid commercial documents at PRC banks specifically authorized to conduct foreign-exchange business.

In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in the PRC, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign-exchange accounts for capital account items. There is no guarantee that PRC regulatory authorities will not impose additional restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.  These restrictions could prevent us from distributing dividends and thereby reduce the value of our stock.

 
30

 

Fluctuation of the exchange rate of the RMB against the US dollar could result in foreign currency losses.

In 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the United States dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an appreciation of the RMB against the United States dollar of approximately 17.5% from July 1, 2005 through September 1, 2009.   There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the United States dollar.

The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.  For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into RMB, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the value in RMB of the proceeds of the financing.  Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes, and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our business and dividends would be reduced.  In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar-denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.
 
The RMB is not a freely convertible currency, which could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to support our business operations in the future.

We receive all of our revenues in RMB.  The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB are to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

The PRC government could also restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.  If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain expenses as they come due.
 
Our PRC stockholders are required to register with SAFE; their failure to do so could cause us to lose our ability to remit profits out of the PRC as dividends.

SAFE has promulgated several regulations, including Circular No. 75 (“Circular 75”), which became effective in November 2005, requiring PRC residents, including both PRC legal person residents and PRC natural person residents, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of the PRC for the purpose of equity financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in the Circular 75 as an “offshore special purpose company.” PRC residents that have established or controlled an offshore special purpose company, which has finished a round-trip investment before the implementation of Circular 75, are required to register their ownership interests or control in such “special purpose vehicles” with the local offices of SAFE. Under Circular 75, the term “PRC legal person residents” as used in Circular 75 refers to those entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person residents” as used in Circular 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. The term “special purpose vehicle” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents or PRC entities for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such PRC residents or PRC entities in onshore companies, and the term “round-trip investment” refers to the direct investment in PRC by PRC residents through “special purpose vehicles,” including without limitation, establishing foreign invested enterprises and using such foreign invested enterprises to purchase or control (by way of contractual arrangements) onshore assets.

 
31

 

In addition, any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend his/her/its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch upon (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity not involving a round-trip investment, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments or, already organized or gained control of offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before Circular 75 was promulgated must register with their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.

Under Circular 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under the Circular 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.

To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, SAFE issued Circular No. 106 (“Circular 106”) on May 9, 2007, which is a guidance that SAFE issued to its local branches with respect to the operational process for SAFE registration that standardizing mores specific and stringent supervision on the registration relating to the Circular 75. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents in a timely manner. If these shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report such failure to the local SAFE authorities and, if the PRC subsidiaries do report the failure, the PRC subsidiaries may be exempted from any potential liability to them related to the stockholders’ failure to comply. The failure of these shareholders and/or beneficial owners to timely amend their SAFE registrations pursuant to the Circular 75 and Circular 106 or the failure of future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the Circular 75 and Circular 106 may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries ability to distribute dividends to our company or otherwise adversely affect our business.

These regulations apply to our stockholders who are PRC residents. In the event that our PRC-resident stockholders do not follow the procedures required by SAFE, we could (i) be exposed to fines and legal sanctions, (ii) lose the ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries or distribute dividends to our company, (iii) face liability for evasion of foreign-exchange regulations, and/or (iv) lose the ability to consolidate the financial statements of our PRC subsidiaries under applicable accounting principals.

Enforcement against us or our directors and officers may be difficult and you could be unable to collect amounts due to you in the event that we or any officer or director violates applicable law.

Our operating company, Foshan, is located in the PRC and substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC.  Most of our current officers and directors are residents of the PRC, and most of their assets are located in the PRC.  As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process on us or those persons in the United States, or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of these persons.

Risks related to an investment in our common stock

Our chief executive officer beneficially owns a significant portion of our common stock and will be able to exert significant influence through his position and stock ownership and his interests may differ from yours, and he could cause us to take actions that are contrary to your interests and that could reduce the value of your stock.
 
Our chief executive officer, Mr. Li, beneficially owns 28% of our common stock.    Even assuming conversion of all of the outstanding notes and the exercise of all our warrants, Mr. Li will own a significant portion of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Li will be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions such as business combinations. In any such stockholder vote, Mr. Li’s interests may differ from that of other stockholders and he could cause us to take actions that are contrary to your interests and that could reduce the value of your stock..

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future; this may affect the price of our stock.

We currently intend to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.  Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating affiliate based in the PRC, which, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions. See “Risks related to doing business in the People’s Republic of China” above.

There is currently no trading market for our common stock; you may not be able to sell your shares.

You may not be able to sell your shares due to the absence of an established trading market.

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

INTRODUCTION

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding the financial statements of Technic, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes as of September 30, 2009, and for the years then ended.
 
Foshan, our PRC based [illegible] company, is a technologically advanced nonwovens company engaged in the manufacturing, sales and research and development of spun-bond PET (polyester) nonwovens in the PRC.

Nonwoven fabrics are broadly defined as sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments (and by perforating films) mechanically, thermally or chemically. They are flat, porous sheets that are made directly from separate fibers or from molten plastic or plastic film. They are not made by weaving or knitting and do not require converting the fibers to yarn.

Our major market is the Chinese market. In recent years, our products have been successfully launched in the European, North American and South East Asian markets. These products have won significant acceptance and we enjoy a substantial reputation for quality with both domestic and foreign customers.

Currently, our major products are spun-bond, thermal calendaring and needle-punched industrial non-woven PET (polyester) and PP (polypropylene) fabrics, and their derivative products. These products are used as filtration media and infrastructure engineering material, among other uses.

We currently operate three spun-bond production lines. Two lines are spun-bond, thermal calendaring production lines with a total annual capacity of 4,000 tons of spun-bond polyester filament thermal calendaring nonwoven.  In February 2009, we added the third line, spun-bond needle-punching production line with an annual capacity of 4,000 tons of spun-bond polyester filament, needle-punched nonwoven fabric.

We had revenues of $11.8 million and $11.6 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, with $2.4 million and $2.7 million in net income for the same periods.

Our fiscal year ends on September 30.  Throughout this section we refer to the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, and 2008 as “2009,” and “2008” respectively.

2009 COMPARED TO 2008

Sales

Net sales increased $237,993, or 2%, to $11,849,712 from $11,611,719 in 2009 compared to 2008. In February 2009, we installed a new production line, spun-bond needle punching production line. The sales of new needle-punching products in 2009 were $2,842,101. The sales of products from the thermal calendaring production line in 2009 were $9,007,161, a decrease of $2,604,108 compared to $11,611,719 in 2008 due to the slowdown of the world economy.  The increase of new product sales offset by the decrease of existing products resulted in a net increase of $237,993 in total sales in 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased  $217,190 or 3% from $8,123,804 in 2008 to $7,906,614 in  2009.   Cost of goods sold principally consists of the cost of raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead expenses.

Raw material expenses decreased from 49% of sales in 2008 to 47% of sales in 2009, reflecting a mix of less expensive raw materials associated with 2009 sales. Labor expenses were 3% of sales in 2009 and were at about the same rate in 2008. Overhead expenses decreased from 16% of net sales in 2009 compared to 18% of net sales in 2008 due to the lower electricity expenses and repair and maintenance expenses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $455,123 or 13%, to $3,943,098 in 2009 compared to 3,487,915 in 2008.   As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 33% in 2009 as compared to 30% in 2008.  This was primarily due to a slight increase of sales and a decrease in the cost of goods sold in 2009.

Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $426,778 from $792,366 in 2008 to $1,219,114 in 2009 primarily due to  increases of (i) $76,980 in legal and accounting fees and $175,036 in expenses incurred in our efforts to raise external financing in the United States, and (ii) $120,795 in employee salaries and benefits, and (iii) $57,882 in transportation expenses due to the change of transportation company in order to better satisfy customers’ requirements.  Additionally, we have increased our sales and marketing capacity to support the development of our new products and expansion into new geographic markets.   As a result, selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 6.8% in 2008 to 10.2% in 2009.

 
35

 

Other Expenses

Interest expense increased $119,279 from $150,570 in 2008 to $269,849 in 2009.  Interest expense as a percentage of sales increased to 2.3% in 2009 from 1.3% in 2008.  The increase in interest expense was principally due to a higher average amount of indebtedness outstanding in 2009.

Net Income

Net income decreased by $253,523, from net income of $2,699,175 in 2008 to $2,445,652 in 2009, as a result of (i) increase in general administrative expenses due to the increased costs incurred to seek external financing, (ii) increase in interest expense due to a higher average amount of indebtedness outstanding in  2009.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments 
 
Throughout 2009, the RMB rose steadily against the US dollar. As a result of the appreciation of the RMB, we recognized a foreign currency translation loss of $57,078. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations or financial condition, but the fluctuation of the renminbi may materially and adversely affect your investment if the current trend of appreciation of RMB s reversed.
  
All of our revenue and expenses in 2009 were denominated in renminbi. Our income statement accounts were translated at the yearly average exchange rate of $1 to 6.83RMB and the balance sheet items, except the equity accounts, were translated at the year-end rate of $1 to 6.83RMB. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate when the corresponding transactions occurred.

Net foreign currency translation losses were $57,078, or 0.05% of sales, in 2009 as compared with the previous year's net foreign currency translation gain of $1,020,734, or 8.8% of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generally finance our business with cash flows from operations and short-term bank loans and we use shareholders’ equity investment and retained earnings to fund capital expenditures.

Working capital consists mainly of cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and inventory. Cash, inventory and accounts receivable account for the majority of our working capital.

Our working capital requirements may be influenced by many factors, including cash flow, competition, relationships with suppliers, and the availability of credit facilities and financing alternatives, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

At September 30, 2009, we had several bank loans for the total amount of RMB31 million with Agriculture Bank of China, Foshan Branch and these loans are repayable in September 2010.   We have the highest credit rating for that bank.

Cash from Operating Activities

2009 compared with 2008

Net cash generated from operating activities for 2009 was approximately $2.7 million, representing a decrease of $0.7 million, or 21%, from approximately $3.4 million for 2008.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net income, increase in receivables, advances to suppliers and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash in Investing Activities

2009 compared with 2008

Net cash used in investing activities for 2009 was approximately $1.2 million, a decrease of $3.2 million from approximately $4.4 million for 2008. The greater investment costs of 2008 were due to our purchases of equipment and expenses relating to outfitting our facilities.

We satisfied this cash expenditure with cash reserves and cash generated from 2009 operations.

Cash in Financing Activities

Recent Events

On February 12, 2010, we completed a private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $4,140,000 secured convertible notes.  We received net proceeds of $3,205,349 million from that financing.  For a description of that financing, please refer to Item 1.01 of this report, “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.”

2009 compared with 2008

Net cash used in financing activities for 2009 was approximately $0.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million compared with net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for 2008.  The change was caused by our bank loan of approximately $0.6 million.

Loans

The balance of our outstanding short-term bank loans at the end of 2009 was approximately $4.6 million, compared with $5.2 million at the end of 2008.  We  repaid our loan of $0.6 million in 2009.

Other than disclosed in the financial statements, we have has no long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases or any other long term obligations at the end of 2009.

Future Cash Commitments

We have ambitious capital investment plans for our PPS projects in 2010 which will require significant investment capital.  This demand for investment capital will be met by the proceeds from the February private placement, and by additional outside financing that we intend to raise as needed to continue our expansion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Method of Accounting

We maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. Accounting policies adopted by us conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

 
37

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Economic and political risks

Our operations are conducted in the PRC.  Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
Our operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Revenue recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable

Land use rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the respective useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 20 to 50 years.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of plant and equipment are as follows:
  
Buildings
 
15-35 years
 
Machinery and equipment
 
10 years
 
Office equipment
 
6-10 years
 
Motor vehicles
 
6-8 years
 
Other assets
 
6-10 years
 
    
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 
38

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
 
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

PROPERTIES

All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or entity. Instead, the government grants or allocates landholders a “land use right,” which we sometimes refer to informally as land ownership. There are four methods to acquire land use rights in the PRC:

 
·
grant of the right to use land;

 
·
assignment of the right to use land;

 
·
lease of the right to use land; and

 
·
allocated land use rights
 
Granted land use rights are provided by the government in exchange for a grant fee, and carry the rights to pledge, mortgage, lease, and transfer within the term of the grant. Land is granted for a fixed term, generally 70 years for residential use, 50 years for industrial use, and 40 years for commercial and other use. The term is renewable in theory. Unlike the typical case in Western nations, granted land must be used for the specific purpose for which it was granted.
 
Allocated land use rights are generally provided by the government for an indefinite period (usually to state-owned entities) and cannot be pledged, mortgaged, leased, or transferred by the user. Allocated land can be reclaimed by the government at any time. Allocated land use rights may be converted into granted land use rights upon the payment of a grant fee to the government.

From 1980 through 1987 Mr. Li Jun studied at Shanghai Jiaotong University where he received his Bachelor’s and his Master’s degree of Science.
  
All of our directors hold their positions on the board until our next annual meeting of the stockholders, and until their successors have been qualified after being elected or appointed.  Officers serve at the discretion of the board of directors.

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current board of directors.

Our directors and executive officers have not, during the past five years:

 
43

 

 
·
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time,

 
·
been convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding,

 
·
been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities; or
 
 
·
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacate  

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors currently acts as our audit committee.  Because we only recently completed the share exchange, our Board of Directors is still in the process of finding an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-K and directors that are “independent” as that term is used in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act.

Audit Committee

We have not yet appointed an audit committee.  At the present time, we believe that the members of Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  We do, however, recognize the importance of good corporate governance and intend to appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert, in the near future.
 
Compensation Committee

We do not presently have a compensation committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

We do not presently have a nominating committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our nominating committee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We strive to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.

It is not uncommon for PRC private companies to have base salaries as the sole form of compensation. The base salary level is established and reviewed based on the level of responsibilities, the experience and tenure of the individual and the current and potential contributions of the individual. The base salary is compared to the list of similar positions within comparable peer companies and consideration is given to the executive’s relative experience in his or her position.  Base salaries are reviewed periodically and at the time of promotion or other changes in responsibilities.

We plan to implement a more comprehensive compensation program, which takes into account other elements of compensation, including, without limitation, short and long term compensation, cash and non-cash, and other equity-based compensation such as stock options. We expect that this compensation program will be comparable to the programs of our peer companies and aimed to retain and attract talented individuals.

We will also consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of our named executive officers.  The majority of the members of the compensation committee would be independent directors.

Joseph Nemelka and Seth Winterton resigned as directors effective February 12, 2010. 
 
As of the date of this report, we have no formal or informal arrangements or agreements to compensate our directors for services they provide as directors. We plan to implement a compensation program for our independent directors, as and when they are appointed, which we anticipate will include such elements as an annual retainer, meeting attendance fees and stock options. The details of that compensation program will be negotiated with each independent director.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except as set forth below, since October 1, 2007, the Company  was not  a party to any transaction (where the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our assets for the last two fiscal years) in which an director, executive officer, holder of more than five percent of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any such person have or will have a direct or indirect material interest and no such transactions are currently proposed.

Chris Bickel is a director of the company.  He is also President of Primary.  Under the terms of the placement agency agreement dated November 17, 2009 between Primary and our company, Primary was paid a fee of $202,000 at the closing of the private financing.  In addition, on automatic conversion of the notes, Primary shall receive a five-year warrant to purchase that number of securities equal to 5% of the number of securities issued on such conversion, exercisable at the price at which the notes converted.   If no such conversion occurs, Primary shall receive a five-year warrant to purchase that number of shares of common stock, if any, equal to 5% of the common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors in the private financing, exercisable at the same price at which those investor warrants are exercisable.  At the closing of the share exchange, Primary also received 1,813,776 shares of our common stock with certain anti-dilution protections.  In particular, if prior to February 12, 2011 we issue any shares of our common stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, other than certain securities issued to employees, directors and the like), then Primary will be issued such number of additional shares of our common stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) which, when added to the 1,813,776 shares (plus any previously issued Adjustment Shares), will total 2.5% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding, determined on a fully-diluted basis.

Li Jun is a director and is a holder of more than 5% of our common stock. Under the terms of an agreement between United Best and the company, United Best was paid a fee of $202,000 at the closing of the private financing. In addition, on automatic conversion of the notes, United Best shall receive a five-year warrant to purchase that number of common  stock equal to 5% of the number of securities issued on such conversion, exercisable at the price at which the notes converted.   If no such conversion occurs, United Best shall receive a five-year warrant to purchase that number of shares of common stock, if any, equal to 5% of the common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors in the private financing, exercisable at the same price at which those investor warrants are exercisable. At the closing of the share exchange agreement, united also received 1,813,776 shares of our common stock with certain and dilution protection. In particular, if prior to February 12, 2011, we issue any shares of our common stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock ), (other than certain securities issued to employees directors and the like) then United Best will be issued  such number of shares of our common stock which, when added to the 1,813,776, will total 2.5% of the our shares then  outstanding, determined on a fully-diluted basis.

In each of June 2007 and in February 2008 and May 2008, Joseph Nemelka, our former President, advanced funds to the Company in the total aggregate amount of $15,000.  The advances were due on demand and bears interest at 8% per annum.  This indebtedness was forgiven in February 2010 prior to the reverse merger.

Our board of directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions.  All such related party transactions must then be reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for review, or standards for approval, of such transactions, but instead review them on a case-by-case basis.

Except for the foregoing, no executive officer or director any member of these individuals’ immediate families, any corporation or organization with whom any of these individuals is an affiliate or any trust or estate in which any of these individuals serve as a trustee or in a similar capacity or has a substantial beneficial interest in is or has been indebted to the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries, nor are we, or any subsidiary, involved as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

For descriptions of our recent sales of unregistered securities, please refer to Item 1.01, “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,” and Item 3.02, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities”
 
The issuance of common stock under the share exchange agreement and the issuance of  our notes and warrants under the note purchase agreement was exempt from registration,  in the case of the common stock issued under the share exchange agreement, under Regulation S and,  in the case  of the notes and warrants issued under the note purchase agreement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D.   Each of the recipients of the notes and warrants has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such recipient is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in our securities under Rule 506 of Regulation D.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following is a summary description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this report. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

General

We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.

On February 12, 2010, immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange agreement, shareholders holding 12,640,000 of the 13,000,000 shares of our then outstanding common stock agreed to surrender  their shares for cancellation in payment by Joe Nemelka of an aggregate amount of  $40,000, pursuant to  stock purchase agreements entered into between Joe Nemelka and each such holder.  Under the share exchange agreement we issued an aggregate of 72,551,020 shares of common stock to the stockholders of Hong Hui.   In addition, immediately following the closing of the share exchange agreement we issued 1,813,776 and 1,453,776 shares of our common stock to United Best and Primary Capital as a transaction fee in connection with the closing of the reverse merger and private financing.    In addition there are 360,000 shares held by round lot shareholders.  Accordingly, as of February 12, 2010 following the closing of all of these transactions there were 75,818,571 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

As more fully described in an Information Statement on Schedule 14C being filed  with the Commission contemporaneously with this report, on February 12, 2010 the board of directors and the holders of majority of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon approved the following corporate actions:


 to change the name of the Company to Chinese Special Materials  Co., Ltd; and


 a one for five (1:5) reverse stock split of our shares of common stock.

These corporate actions will become effective on the filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware of a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation which will be filed at least 20 days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the shareholders.

The following is a summary of the material terms of our capital stock.
 
Each share of our common stock has one vote on all matters including election of directors, without provision for cumulative voting. The common stock is not redeemable and has no conversion or preemptive rights.  In the event we are liquidated, the holders of common stock will share equally in any balance of our assets available for distribution to them after satisfaction of creditors and preferred shareholders. The holders of our common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as, and if declared by the board of directors from funds legally available.

In addition to the 200,000,000 shares of common stock, we are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Shares of our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, each of which class or series shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be fixed by the board of directors prior to the issuance any shares thereof.

The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the board of directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, the board of directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The board of directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such persons promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which it may be unable to recoup.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 


Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of PERPETUALTECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Shell”) in the opinion of management include all material adjustments directly attributable to the reverse merger transactions, which include a share exchange transaction and a note purchase agreement.  The Share Exchange Agreement, dated February 11, 2010, are among Hong Hui Holdings Limited (the”Hong Hui”), the Shell and all of the shareholders of the Hong Hui. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Shell issues to the shareholders of the Hong Hui 72,551,020 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Hong Hui. In addition, 4,640,000 shares are issued to placement agents as part of the reverse merger transaction and 12,640,000 shares of Shell are cancelled.  As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement or reverse merge, Hong Hui’s becomes a wholly-foreign owned subsidiary.  The transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible should be recorded. The recapitalization is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.

Hong Hui was formed in January, 2010 in the territory of the British Virgin Islands by the shareholders of Technic International Inc. (the “Technic”). Upon the formation, each shareholders transfered their ownership of Technic to Hong Hui. As a result of this transaction, Technic becaome a wholly-foreign owned enterprise under PRC law. This acquisition was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control.

Simultaneously, on February 11, 2010, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the sale of convertible notes and warratns in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, net proceeds for $3,800,000 after finance cost.  The notes require quarterly interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum. The warrants becomed void if notes automatically converted and it is not excercisable if no financing is consummated within 5 years.  The management believe the warrants value to be insiginificant. The note is convertible to common stock at a 65% discount upon a future qualified financing event. According to the Standards for contingent convertible debt, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is calculated for $2,470,000 at the commitment date. However, the amount would only be recorded at the date a qualified financing event is completed.

The pro forma consolidated statement of operations includes the accounts of the Shell, Hong Hui and Technic.

The statements of operations were prepared as if the above mentioned acquisition of the Hong Hui by the Shell were consummated on October 1, 2008, respectively, and the balance sheet was prepared as if they were consummated on September 30, 2009. The historical information of Shell is based on the Company’s financial statements in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the nine months ended September 30, 2009; the historical information of Technic was derived from the books and the records of Hong Hui for the year  ended September 30, 2009.

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 
Technic International Ltd.
No. 5 Junye S. Rd., Area C. Shishan Science & Technology Industrial Park, Nanhai District
Foshan City, Guandong, China
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Technic International Ltd. (the Company) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Technic International Ltd. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2.
Summary of significant accounting policies:
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of our subsidiary in China, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in China.  All necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
(a)
Principles of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
(b)
Use of estimates:
 
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include estimates of valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, and useful life of property and equipment, etc. Actual results and outcomes may differ from those estimates.
 
(c)
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. As of September 30, 2009, 99% of the cash and cash equivalents were placed with banks in China. The remittance of these funds out of China is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the Chinese government.

Significant accounting policies (continued):
 
(d)
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.
 
(e)
Inventory:
 
Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with our suppliers, and the estimated utility of our inventory. If our review indicates any obsolete or idle inventory or a reduction in utility below carrying value, we reduce our inventory to a new cost basis.
 
 
(f)
Property and equipment:
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from 5 to 20 years. The annual depreciation rates are as follows:

Asset
 
Useful lives
     
Building and plant
 
20 years
Machinery
 
10 years
Office equipment and computers
 
5 years
Vehicles
 
10 years
 
(g)
Land use rights:
 
According to the laws of China, the government owns all of the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. Accordingly, the Company paid in advance for land use rights. Prepaid land use rights are being amortized and recorded as amortization expenses using the straight-line method over the use terms of the lease, which is 50 years.
 
(h)
Construction in progress:
 
Construction in progress represents the cost of constructing buildings and the new needle punch production line. The major cost includes materials, labor and overhead.

Significant accounting policies (continued):
 
 
(i)
Intangible assets:
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Assets.

(j)
Impairment of long-lived assets:
 
Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting periods, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.
 
(k)
Revenue recognition:
 
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by its customers, the price is fixed or determinable as stated on the sales contract, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Customers do not have a general right of return or warranty on products shipped.  There are no post-shipment obligations, price protection, or bill and hold arrangements.

Significant accounting policies (continued):
 
(o)
Accumulated other comprehensive income:
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
(p)
Segment Reporting
 
ASC Topic 280, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Accordingly, the Company has reviewed its business activities and determined that multiple segments do not exist to be reported.
 
(q)
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s receivables, short-term loans, payables and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value as of the balance sheet dates due to their short maturities and the interest rates currently available.
 
(r)
Reclassification:
 
Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 financial statement presentation.  Such reclassification had no effect on net income.
 
(s)
Taxes:
 
Income taxes expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.
 
The Company has implemented FASB ASC 740, which provides for a liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result from the effect of transactions that are recognized in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of FASB ASC 740.

Recent pronouncements (continued):
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-1, “Topic 105 — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” which amended ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” to establish the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All previous references to the superseded standards in our consolidated financial statements have been replaced by references to the applicable sections of the Codification. The adoption of these sections did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 167, “Amending FASB interpretation No. 46(R)”, which was included in ASC Topic 810-10-05 “Variable Interest Entities”. The provisions of ASC Topic 810-10-05 amend the definition of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and will require the Company to make an assessment each reporting period of its variable interests. The provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the statement on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” which amends ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements.” ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how to allocate consideration to each unit of accounting in the arrangement. This ASU replaces all references to fair value as the measurement criteria with the term selling price and establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU No. 2009-13 also eliminates the use of the residual value method for determining the allocation of arrangement consideration. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 requires expanded disclosures. This ASU will become effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the application date and the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Condensed Financial Statements - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 audited financial statements as part of the Company’s 2008 annual report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - - In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), "Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2009-15 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a working capital deficit of $19,412 as of September 30, 2009, has incurred net losses of $18,520 and $12,227 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, has negative cash flows from operating activities, and has minimal revenue-generating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans, advances, or through additional sales of common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advances from a Stockholder In September 2007, February and May 2008, and in September 2009 officers or stockholders of the Company advanced a total of $20,000 to the Company. The advances are due on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum. At September 30, 2009 the accrued interest on the advances totaled $2,138.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In February 2007, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes for $2,500 each. In August 2007, the Company issued an additional two convertible promissory notes for $2,500 each. In December 2008, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock on conversion of the four convertible promissory notes of $10,000 along with accrued interest of $1,290.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has available at September 30, 2009, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $55,043 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in 2029 and 2028. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $8,256 and $5,478 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 is approximately $2,778. The Company used the incremental federal income tax rate of 15% in computing its deferred tax assets.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through November 3, 2009 and determined there were no events to disclose.

THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH TRANSACTION UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.
 
PERPETUAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
 
No. __________
February 12, 2010 (the “Issuance Date”)
 
PERPETUAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that __________________ (the “Investor”) and its transferees, designees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company that number of fully-paid, non-assessable shares (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per Share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) as set forth below.  This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time during the five-year period commencing on the closing of a Financing (as defined below) (the “Effective Date”); provided, however, this Warrant shall be null, void, and unexercisable if: (i) no Financing is consummated during the five-year period commencing on the Issuance Date or (ii) if the Notes automatically convert as provided in Section 6 of the Notes.  As used herein, “Financing” means the first sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of its capital stock, or debt or equity securities convertible into or exercisable for its capital stock, in a capital raising transaction occurring after the earlier of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) and the date the Note becomes due pursuant to a Default (as defined in the Note) as provided in Section 8 of the Note , for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2,000,000.  The Exercise Price equals the price per share of the Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalent if derivative securities are sold) issued by the Company in a Financing, provided that if the Financing includes more than one type of security, the Exercise Price shall be lowest price per share of the Common Stock or Common Stock equivalent included in the Financing.  The number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall equal eight percent (8%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the closing of the Financing, determined on a fully-diluted basis (for purposes of clarity, after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of all outstanding derivative securities), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of the Note purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by the initial Investor who received this Warranton the Issuance Date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The number of Shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.  Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, the Company shall inform the Holder in writing as to the number of Shares then purchasable hereunder and the then Exercise Price, which writing shall be accompanied by a detailed calculation showing how the foregoing were determined.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein will have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2010, among the Company, the Investor, and certain other investors (the “Other Investors”) (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
1.           Method of Exercise; Payment.
 
(a)           Cash Exercise.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form (the "Notice of Cash Exercise") attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the sole election of the Holder, by (i) wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company to the Holder, (iii) any other lawful consideration as the Company shall determine, or (iii) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii).

(b)           Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section l(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment of any additional consideration, a number of Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the Notice of Cashless Exercise annexed hereto as Exhibit C duly executed (the “Notice of Cashless Exercise,” together with the Notice of Cash Exercise, the “Exercise Notice”).  In such event, the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of fully paid, non-assessable Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)
             A

 
Where X
=
the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
       
 
Y
=
the number of Shares subject to this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made (i.e., the right to exercise is being surrendered) pursuant to this Section 1(b).

 
-2-

 

 
A
=
the Current Market Value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of the net issue election is made).
       
 
B
=
the Exercise Price in effect at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1(b).

(c)           Current Market Value.  Current Market Value is defined below.  The Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the Current Market Value.

(d)           Stock Certificates.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, as promptly as practicable on or after the date of exercise and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter (the “Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise.  In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

(e)           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof

 
-3-

 

(f)           Taxes.  The issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall be made without charge by the Company to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance.

2.           Warrant.
 
(a)          Exchange, Transfer and Replacement.  At any time prior to the exercise hereof, this Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the Company, alone or with other warrants of like tenor of different denominations registered in the name of the same Holder, for another warrant or warrants of like tenor in the name of the Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the warrant or warrants surrendered.
 
(b)          Replacement of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
(c)          Cancellation; Payment of Expenses.  Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 2, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company.
 
(d)          Warrant Register.  The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), a register for this Warrant (the “Warrant Register”) in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.
 
3.           Rights and Obligations of Holders of this Warrant.  The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the event any certificate representing Shares or other securities is issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the recipient of such certificate shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such securities (and such securities will be deemed to have been issued) on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Election to Purchase or Notice of Cashless Exercise, as applicable, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, if applicable, was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate.

4.           Adjustments.
 
(a)           Stock Dividends, Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc.  In the event that, on or after the Effective Date, the Company:  (i) pays a dividend in Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock (including a recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then (1) the Exercise Price on the record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after such event, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after such event.
 
(b)           Cash Dividends and Other Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time on or after the Effective Date, distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving entity and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of the Company or another issuer, securities of the Company or another issuer, or other assets (excluding dividends or other distributions of Common Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 4(a)), or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those in respect of which adjustments in the Exercise Price is made pursuant to Section 4(d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding on the business day immediately prior to the date of such distribution multiplied by the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on such business day, less (y) the Fair Market Value on such business day of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding on such business day multiplied by such Current Market Value on such business day.  Such adjustment shall be made and shall be effective whenever any such distribution is made.

(E)           shares of Common Stock issued or issuable (I) in a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (II) upon exercise of warrants or rights granted to underwriters in connection with such a public offering.

(e)           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the Holder in accordance with Section 9 a certificate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which (i) the Board of Directors determined the Fair Market Value of any evidences of indebtedness, other securities or property or warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights and (ii) the Current Market Value of the Common Stock was determined, if either of such determinations were required), and specifying the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.
 
 (f)           Current Market Value.  “Current Market Value” per share of Common Stock or any other security at any date means (i) if the security is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or traded on a national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (A) the value of the security, determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a board resolution, based on the most recently completed arm’s-length transaction between the Company and a Person that is not an affiliate of the Company, or between any two such Persons, and the closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the six-month period preceding such date, or (B) if no such transaction shall have occurred within the six-month period, the value of the security as determined by an Independent Financial Expert or an agreed upon financial valuation model, or (ii) if the security is registered under the Exchange Act and/or traded on a national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board, the average of the daily closing bid prices (or the equivalent in an over-the-counter market) for each day on which the Common Stock or other security is traded for any period on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock or other security is being traded during the period commencing thirty (30) days before such date and ending on the date one day prior to such date.  “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity.

(g)           “Fair Market Value” means the amount, reasonably determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, which a willing buyer, under no compulsion to buy, would pay a willing seller, under no compulsion to sell, in an arm’s-length transaction, with no consideration given for accounting treatment, minority investment discounts, or discounts related to illiquidity or restrictions on transferability; provided, however, if requested by the Holder, the Company (at its sole expense) shall retain an Independent Financial Expert (chosen by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder) to render an opinion as to Fair Market Value, in which case the determination of such Independent Financial Expert shall govern.  As used herein, “Independent Financial Expert” shall mean a nationally recognized investment banking firm which does not (and whose directors, officers, employees and affiliates do not) have a direct or indirect financial interest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and which has not been, and, at the time it is called upon to give independent financial advice, does not provide any advice or opinions to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as an Independent Financial Expert.
 
(h)           Computations.  For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Sections 4(c) and (d) above, the following shall apply:
 
(i)           in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
 
(ii)          in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value thereof; and
 
(iii)         in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in Sections 4(h)(i) and (ii) above.
 
(i)           All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a Share, as the case may be.

(j)           In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 4(a), the Holder thereafter shall become entitled to receive any securities of the Company, other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in Sections 4(a) to (i), inclusive.

 
-8-

 

(k)           Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant may continue to express the same price and number and kind of securities as were stated prior to such adjustment.

(l)           Upon the termination, cancellation, or expiration of all of the securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock referenced in Section 4(d), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination, cancellation, or expiration had such rights, warrants, or securities never been issued.

(m)         If an adjustment has been made under Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, then the subsequent issuance of Common Stock upon the actual exercise of such securities shall be excluded from the adjustment provisions hereof.

(n)          For so long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, the Company shall not issue any Additional Stock for no consideration.

5.           Fractional Shares.  In lieu of issuance of a fractional Share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole Share in lieu of that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Exercise Price.
 
6.           Compliance with Securities Laws.

(a)           The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws
 
(b)           Legends.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement, all such certificates representing the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of Page 1 of this Warrant.

 
-9-

 

(c)           The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer.  Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the Shares have been or will be sold, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto.  The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days.  In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 6(c), the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company.  The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 6(c) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.
 
(d)           Accredited Investor Status.  In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
 
7.           Disposition of Warrant or Shares.  The Holder agrees that no public distribution of this Warrant or the Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act.  Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.

8.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification or other change of outstanding Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving Person and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, cancellation or change of outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), the Company, or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder, at least five Business Days prior to effecting any Transaction, a certificate that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of units or other securities (of the Company or another issuer, as the case may be) or property or cash receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of Shares into which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such Transaction, provided that the Company shall structure such Transaction so that the Holder shall be entitled to sell this Warrant in the Transaction.  Such certificate shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4 hereof and shall contain other terms identical to the terms hereof.  If, in the case of any such Transaction, the stock, other securities, cash or property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes stock or other securities of a Person (other than the successor or purchasing Persons and other than the Company) which controls or is controlled by the successor or purchasing Person or which, in connection with such Transaction, issues stock, securities, other property or cash to holders of Common Units, then such certificate also shall be executed by such Person, and such Person shall, in such certificate, specifically assume the obligations of such successor or purchasing Person and acknowledge its obligations to issue such stock, securities, other property or cash to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant as provided above. The provisions of this Section 8 similarly shall apply to successive Transactions.
 
9.           Notice of Certain Transactions.  In the event that the Company shall propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in securities of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other non-cash dividend or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (b) to offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (c) to effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger affecting the class of Common Stock, as a whole, (d) to effect the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or (e) a Financing, the Company shall, within the time limits specified below, send to the Holder a notice of such proposed action or offer.  Such notice shall be mailed to the Holder at its address as it appears in the Warrant Register (as defined in Section 2(d)), which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 4 which will be required as a result of such action.  Such notice shall be given as promptly as possible and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

-12-

 

11.           Successors and Assigns.  This Warrant shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and the Company and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
 
12.           Headings.  The headings of various sections of this Warrant have been inserted for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
 
13.           Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant, and the balance hereof shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded.
 
14.           Modification and Waiver.  This Warrant and any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
 
15.           Specific Enforcement.  The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the Holder and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Warrant and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which either of them may be entitled by law or equity.
 
16.           Assignment.  This Warrant may be transferred or assigned only in whole, if prior to the Effective Date, or in whole or in part, if on or after the Effective Date, at any time and from time to time by the then Holder by submitting this Warrant to the Company together with a duly executed Assignment in substantially the form and substance of the Form of Assignment which accompanies this Warrant, as Exhibit B hereto, and, upon the Company’s receipt hereof, and in any event, within five (5) business days thereafter, the Company shall issue in the name or names specified by the Holder and, in the event of a partial transfer, in the name of the Holder, a new Warrant or Warrants evidencing the right to purchase such number of Shares as shall be equal to the number of Shares then purchasable hereunder.

 
-13-

 

17.           Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise); provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 9 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section 17 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 17 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant. For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Shares requested in such Exercise Notice is permitted under this paragraph. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that the Holder may receive in the event of a merger or other business combination or reclassification involving the Company.

18.           Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) will be commenced in the New York Courts.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

 
-14-

 

19.           Stock Fully Paid. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full.
 
20. Reservation.   If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified.  If the Company shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed.  The Company will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Company.

(c)           Covenants.  The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Ceritifcate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Company, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Exhibit 4.4
 
STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
 
THIS STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of the 12th day of February, 2010, by and among the stockholders of Perpetual Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (each, a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”), the investors to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2010, (the “Purchase Agreement”) listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto (collectively, the “Secured Parties”), and The Law Offices of Louis E. Taubman, PC, a member of Leser, Hunter, Taubman & Taubman as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (“Collateral Agent”).

BACKGROUND
 
A.           Pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2010, among the Company and the Secured Parties (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company is selling, and the Secured Parties are purchasing, Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company (the “Notes”) and five year warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”).

B.           Each Pledgor owns the number of shares of Common Stock forth opposite the name of such Pledgor on Schedule 2 (collectively, the “Shares”), and will derive direct and indirect economic benefits from the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement.

C.           In order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Purchase Agreement and purchase the Notes from the Company, and as a condition thereto and in consideration of the benefits which will accrue to the Pledgors as a result thereof, each Pledgor has guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Non-Recourse Guaranty, dated the date hereof, in favor of the Secured Parties (the “Guaranty”).

D.           In order to secure the timely payment and performance of all of the Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty, including without limitation all fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any collection actions related thereto (collectively, the “Obligations”), each of the Pledgors desires to grant the Secured Parties a perfected and continuing security interest in such Pledgor’s Shares.

E.           The continuing Security Interest, as hereinafter defined, in the Shares shall be evidenced by this Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
F.           The Secured Parties have appointed the Collateral Agent as representative of and agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of possession of the Shares pledged hereunder.
 
 
 

 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT

1.           Recitals.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the aforementioned recitals are true and correct and agree that such recitals, together with the definitions set forth therein and in the preamble to this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
 
2.           Additional Shares.  All references to the Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, distribution, recapitalization or other similar arrangement affecting the Shares after the date of this Agreement.  In the event that a Pledgor receives, or becomes entitled to, any property (whether real or personal, tangible or intangible) in connection with, related to, or in exchange for his Shares in any way, then any such property shall be considered Shares under this Agreement.

4.            Perfection of Security Interest.  The Security Interest in the Shares shall be perfected by the Secured Parties, or the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, taking possession of the certificates representing the Shares (the “Certificates”).  Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each Pledgor is delivering to the Collateral Agent the Certificates evidencing his Shares, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Parties.
 
5.           Proxy.  Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, whether or not the Shares have been transferred into the name of the Secured Parties, as such Pledgor's proxy and attorney-in-fact with respect to his Shares, with full power to (a) attend meetings of the holders of the Common Stock held after the date of this Agreement, and to vote the Shares at those meetings in such manner as such attorney-in-fact shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem appropriate, (b) consent or withhold consent, in the sole and absolute discretion of such attorney-in-fact, to any action for which consent of the shareholders of the Company is or may be necessary or appropriate, and (c) do all things and exercise all rights, powers, privileges  and remedies to which an owner of the Shares would be entitled, giving and granting unto such attorney-in-fact full power of substitution and revocation.  Notwithstanding the provisions contained in the preceding sentence (hereinafter referred to as the "Proxy Rights"), neither the Collateral Agent, nor the Secured Parties, nor any of them, shall have the right to perform, exercise, take or assert any of the Proxy Rights unless and until there shall have occurred an Event of Default (as that term is defined below).  Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Shares or any part thereof for any purpose.  Each Pledgor hereby revokes all proxies heretofore given and agrees not to grant any proxy to any person or persons with respect to his Shares other than as granted herein for so long as this Agreement is in force.  The appointment of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent as proxy and attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been satisfied.  The Proxy Rights shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Shares on the record books of the Company) by any person (including the Company or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to exercise any Proxy Right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.

2.1          Investment Purpose.  Purchaser is purchasing its Note for Purchaser's own account for investment only and not with a view toward or in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof.  Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its Securities or any interest therein, except pursuant to transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or are registered under the Securities Act.  Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities indefinitely, unless the sale of its Securities is registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering any such transaction.

LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES
 
5.1          Removal of Legend.  The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a Security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if such sale takes place within twelve months after the date of the Closing and neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.  Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, in compliance with registration requirements of the Securities Act (including Regulation S) or an exemption therefrom, and understands and acknowledges that the Company shall refuse to register the transfer of the Securities in the absence of such compliance.  In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend, and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act.  Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) above.

 
20

 

5.2          Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company agrees that at such time as the Legend is no longer required under  Section 5.1, it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Securities.  The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities in compliance with applicable securities laws.  If, in connection with the transfer of Securities, (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, within six months after the date of the Closing, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such transfer), to the effect that the Securities to be transferred may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by the Purchasers hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss or special damages and without any bond or other security being required.

- 3 - -

 
4.2           The  Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the  Company, any Investor or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons.  The  Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

NON-RECOURSE GUARANTY

This NON-RECOURSE GUARANTY is made as of the 12th day of February, 2010, by each of the persons set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (each a “Guarantor”) for the benefit of the purchasers set forth on Schedule B attached hereto (the “Purchasers”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, on February 12, 2010, each of the Purchasers entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Perpetual Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Purchasers are purchasing from the Company certain convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and certain warrants (“Warrants”);

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a reverse merger agreement (the “Reverse Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired control of a British Virgin Islands company (the “BVI Company”), the owner of all of the outstanding  capital stock of  Technic International, Inc., a Hong Kong company (“Technic”), and the owner of all of the outstanding equity interests of Foshan SLP Special Materials Company (“Foshan”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (the “Reverse Merger Transaction”) and therefore Technic and Foshan became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a stockholder of the Company, and will derive direct and indirect economic benefits from the transactions contemplated under the Note Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and purchase the Notes from the Company, and as a condition thereto and in consideration of the benefits which will accrue to the Guarantors as a result thereof, each Guarantor desires to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes;

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Guarantors are entering into a stock pledge agreement pursuant to which the Guarantors are pledging their shares of Company capital stock (“Guarantor Shares”) as security for their obligations hereunder (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantors, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:
 

 
1.   Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Purchasers pari passu the due and punctual payment and performance in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Company to each Purchaser under the Notes (collectively, the “Obligations”).

2.   This Guaranty is irrevocable, continuing, indivisible and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of, and shall not discharged, terminated, impaired, affected or modified in any manner by reason of (a) any subordination, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, assignment or transfer of the Notes or any other Transaction Document; (b) the assertion or exercise by any Purchaser, or the failure of any Purchaser to assert or exercise, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes, any other Transaction Document, or the Obligations, or any waiver of any such right, remedy, power or privilege; (c) the existence or continuance, or discontinuance, of the Company as a legal entity; (d) the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like, of a Guarantor, a Purchaser, or the Company, or the making by the Company, a Purchaser or a Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) the acceptance, alteration, release or substitution by Purchaser of any security for the Obligations, whether provided by the Company, Guarantor or any other person, (f) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect of this Guaranty, any other Transaction Document, or the Obligations; (g) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Notes or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Obligations; (h) the death or incompetency of a Guarantor, or the termination or modification of a Guarantor’s relationship with the Company; or (i) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety, accommodation co-obligor, or guarantor, whether or not such Guarantor shall have notice or knowledge of each or any of the foregoing.  This Guaranty is and shall be a direct and primary obligation of each Guarantor, and may be enforced by any Purchaser without prior resort to the Company or the exhaustion of any rights or remedies that any Purchaser may have against the Company.

3.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are non-recourse to each Guarantor and are limited only to the collateral pledged by such Guarantor under the Stock Pledge Agreement and any payments or amounts realized, recovered or otherwise received by in respect of the recovery of or realization on any such collateral.
 
4.   Guarantor hereby expressly waives the following: (a) acceptance and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by any Purchaser; (b) notice of extension of time of the payment, performance and compliance with, or the renewal or alteration of the terms and conditions of, any Obligations; (c) notice of any demand for payment, notice of default or nonpayment as to any Obligations; (d) all other notices to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled in connection with this Guaranty or the Obligations; (e) trial by jury and the right thereto in any action or proceeding of any kind or nature, arising on, under or by reason of, or relating in any way to, this Guaranty or the Obligations; and (f) any and all defenses, claims, setoffs and discharges of the Company, or any other obligor, pertaining to the Obligations, except the defense of discharge by payment in full.
 

 
5.   Guarantor has not and will not set up or claim any counterclaim, set-off or other objection of any kind to any suit, action or proceeding at law, in equity, or otherwise, that may be instituted or made under and by virtue of this Guaranty.  All remedies of the Purchasers by reason of or under this Guaranty are separate and cumulative remedies, and it is agreed that no one of such remedies shall be deemed in exclusion of any other remedies available to the Purchasers.

6.   Guarantor represents and warrants that the Guarantor has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and that neither the execution, delivery nor performance of this Guaranty will violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority, or will conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound, or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance upon any property of Guarantor.

7.   This Guaranty may not be changed or terminated orally.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless such modification or waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Purchasers, and the same shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instances and purposes specified in such writing.  No course of dealing between Guarantor and any Purchaser in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder.

8.   This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to such jurisdiction’s principles of conflict of laws, except to the extent that the validity or the perfection of the security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

9.   This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantors and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall insure to the benefit of the Purchasers and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

10.   Each Guarantor hereby waives all rights that such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire, whether by subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, recourse, exoneration, contract or otherwise, to recover from the Company or from any property of the Company any sums paid under this Guaranty or the Stock Pledge Agreement.

11.   Each Guarantor will pay or reimburse the Purchasers for all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred by the Purchasers in endeavoring to collect and enforce the Obligations and in enforcing this Guaranty.
 

 
12.   If any payment applied by the Purchasers to the Obligations is thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any other obligor), the Obligations to which such payment was applied shall for the purpose of this Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such Obligations as fully as if such application had never been made.

13.   This Guaranty shall be effective upon delivery to the Purchasers, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Purchasers.  Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or application of this Guaranty shall not affect other lawful provisions and application thereof, and to this end the provisions of this Guaranty are declared to be severable.  This Guaranty may not be waived, modified, amended, terminated, released or otherwise changed except by a writing signed by the Guarantors and the Purchasers.  This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of New York.  Each Guarantor hereby (i) consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any controversy related to this Guaranty; (ii) waives any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient, (iii) agrees that any litigation in connection with this Guaranty may be venued in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York; and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

14.   This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.  This Guaranty may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies showing the signatures of the Guarantors, and those signatures need not be affixed to the same copy.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(b)              In the event that the Company is unable to register for resale under Rule 415 all of the applicable Registrable Securities, depending upon the timing as contemplated above in Section 2(a), due to limits imposed by the Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415 (a “Rule 415 Cutback”), then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the applicable Registrable Securities as the Commission shall permit.  Any exclusion of applicable Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders in proportion to the number of applicable Registrable Securities held by such persons; provided, however, that the Shell Shares shall be omitted from such Registration Statement or any subsequent registration statement prior to the omission of any Registrable Securities.  In the event the Commission does not permit the Company to register all of the applicable Registrable Securities in the First Registration Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to register the applicable Registrable Securities, subject to the terms of this Section 2(b), that were not registered in the First Registration Statement, as promptly as possible and in a manner permitted by the Commission, whether by filing a subsequent registration statement as soon as the Commission permits the Company to do so, providing demand registration rights, or otherwise (the “415 Subsequent Registration Statements,” together with the 415 Cutback, the “415 Registration Procedure”).
 
(c)           If at any time after the Company proposes to file the First Registration Statement and prior to the effective date of such First Registration Statement, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay such registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 6 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 2(c) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

(d)           In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such Registration Statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such Registration Statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

 
4

 
 
(e) In the event that the applicable Registrable Securities are not registered as a result of Section 2(c) or 2(d) above, or if the Company files a Registration Statement including the Registrable Securities that is later withdrawn, the Company agrees to register such applicable Registrable Securities as soon as possible thereafter in a manner permitted by the Commission and the managing underwriter if any.      

3.           Demand Registration Rights

(a)              Demand Registration. In the event that:

(x)  the Registrable Securities shall have been included in a Registration Statement under Section 2 and such Registration Statement is not declared effective within 6 months of the date of filing or is withdrawn prior thereto; or

(y)  the Company shall have filed a Registration Statement within 6 months of the date of this Agreement, but such registration statement did not include the Registrable Securities (for reasons other than as a result of Rule 415); or

(z)   the Company has not filed a Registration Statement within 6 months of the date of this Agreement

then, the Initiating Holders may (A) in the case of (x) or (z) above, at any time after the earlier of the end of the six month period or withdrawal or (B) in the case of (y) above, at any time after the earlier of the time such Registration Statement is declared effective or is withdrawn,   request (“Demand Notice”) that the Company effect any registration, qualification or compliance with respect to (x) Warrant Shares (in the event that a Qualified Financing shall not have occurred prior to the maturity date of the Notes) or (y) Note Shares (in the event that a Qualified Financing shall have occurred prior to the maturity date of the Notes)  with an anticipated aggregate offering price, before deduction of standard underwriting discounts and commissions, in excess of $1,000,000 in the following manner:

 
5

 
 
(i)  promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after receipt of a Demand Notice (the “Additional Holder Notice”); and

(ii) within 30 calendar days of the Demand Notice (the “Demand File Date” and such 30 day time period being referred to as the “Demand Period”) effect all such registrations, qualifications and compliances (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with exemptive regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as requested in the Demand Notice and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Initiating Holder's or Initiating Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in the Demand Notice, together with  all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request from such Holder(s) given to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after such Holder’s receipt of the Additional Holder Notice(the Joining Holder Notice); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3(a):

(A)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as required by the Securities Act; or

(B)  after the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 3(a) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective, and all such shares offered pursuant to each such registration  shall have been sold pursuant thereto.

Nowthwithstanding the foregoing, if  the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of  Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be filed during the Demand Period because such action (x) would materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company, (y) would require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (z) would render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement, then the Company shall have an additional period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the Demand Period within which to file such Registration Statement; and provided, further, the Company may not utilize this deferral right more than twice under this Agreement and such deferrals may not be used consecutively without the prior written consent of the Initiating Holder, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 
6

 
 
(b)              Underwriting.  If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable  Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request made pursuant to this Section 3 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 3 (a).   In such event, the underwriter shall be selected by the Majority in Interest, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Majority in Interest and such Holder) to the extent provided herein.  The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting (which shall be determined in good faith by the managing underwriter) shall be allocated among all Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders and requested to be included by them.  No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holders.  Any Registrable Securities which are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(c)                 Company Inclusion.  The Company shall be entitled to include in any Registration Statement referred to in this Section 3, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the Initiating Holders, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable Securities to be sold.  To the extent that the managing underwriter in any such underwritten public offering requires the exclusion of any securities from such offering, securities sought to be sold by the Company shall be so excluded prior to excluding any Registrable Securities.

(d)                 In the event that the Company receives a Rule 415 comment from the Commission regarding a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall follow the  415 Registration Procedure set forth in Section 2(b) above.

4.    Company Registration.

(a)  Registration.   If at any time or from time to time, the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, for its own account or the account of any of its shareholders (other than (i)  a registration in connection with an Initial Public Offering (ii) a registration on Form S-8 (or any successor form) relating solely to employee stock option or purchase plans, or (iii) a registration on Form S-4 (or any successor form) relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, the Company will:

 
7

 
 
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (“Registration Notice); and

(ii) include in such registration (and compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request(s), made within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Holders’ receipt of the Registration Notice, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in subsection 4(b) below.

(b)  Underwriting.  If the subject registration for the Registration Notice is a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders in the Registration Notice.  In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting.  The number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration shall be allocated as follows: first, for the account of the Company, all shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Company, and second, for the account of any Holders or other stockholders of the Company participating in such registration, the number of shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration by such Holders and other stockholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities that are requested to be included in such registration by such Holders and other stockholders.  The Company shall so advise all Holders and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting of any such limitation, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by Holders that may be included in the registration.  If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter.  Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.   The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 4 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not a Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration, without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of the Registrable Securities; provided however, that the Company notifies all Holders who requested inclusion of his/her Registrable Securities of such termination or withdrawal.

5.           Registration Procedures.
 
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
 
(a)           (i)  Prepare and file with the Commission such  Registration Statements in order to register for sale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statements to become effective, and, as expeditiously as possible, to prepare and file such amendments, including post-effective amendments as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statements continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statement(s) and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement;

(c)           Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment;
 
(d)           Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may request, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement(s);
 
(e)           Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement(s), which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement or applicable law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request;
 
 
9

 
 
(f)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
 
(g)           As expeditiously as possible, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities such reasonable numbers of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, Prospectus, and such other documents as the selling Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities;
 
(h)           Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange, if applicable, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(j)           In the event of any underwritten public offering, if requested by the underwriter, obtain a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters, addressed to the selling Holders of Registrable Securities;
 
(k)           enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably, request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares); and,
 
(l)           take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by any Holder consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
 
6.           Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incidental to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.  The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing Prospectuses), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

7.
Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, and any underwriter of each seller of Registrable Securities, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and investigation and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any violations by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with the performance of its obligations to register securities under this Agreement or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, provided however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability  arise out of or based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by a Holder or underwriter specifically for use therein.
 
(b)           Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's failure to deliver the Prospectus provided to it by the Company in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions is made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a  Holder specifically for use therein.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 
 
11

 
 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
 
(d)           Contribution.
 
(i)           If a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.
 
 
12

 
 
(ii)           The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (B) the Company shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds; provided, however, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom such contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom such contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 7, except to the extent the party against whom contribution may be sought is prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.  No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
(e)           Indemnification with Respect to Underwritten Offering.  In the event that Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2, the Company agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and warranties with respect to the business and operations of an issuer of the securities being registered and customary covenants and agreements to be performed by such issuer, including without limitation customary provisions with respect to indemnification by the Company of the underwriters of such offering.  To the extent that the provisions on indemnification contained in the underwriting agreements entered into among the selling Holders, the Company and the underwriters in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall be controlling as to the Registrable Securities included in the public offering.
 
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
 
 
13

 
 
8.
Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Remedies.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach by: (1) the Company including but not limited to if the Company shall (i) fail to register Registrable Securities after it shall have been requested to do so by a Holder or otherwise required to do so in accordance with Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement, (ii) fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder and as a result of such failure Holders have not been able to sell their Registrable Securities, or (iii) act or fail to act in any manner such that one or more Holders have been delayed in the sale of their Registrable Securities, which delay is not expressly permitted by this Agreement; or (2) by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement without the need to post any bond or other security or to prove special damages.  The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or threatened breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b)           Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events.  The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed in accordance with the terms hereof and is not maintained in effect during the Effectiveness Period.   If a Registration Statement is not filed on the Demand File Date (unless due to and in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof) or does not remain effective during the Effectiveness Period, then the Company shall pay to the Investors a cash amount that shall be equal to two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Note for each month (or part thereof) following the Demand File Date that the Registration Statement shall not have been duly filed with the SEC, and/or for each month (or part thereof) following the Effective Date that the Registration Statement shall not continue to be effective (the “Late Registration Payment”).  Such Late Registration Payment shall be paid to the Investors within 30 days after the end of each month in which such Late Registration Payment shall be payable, and until the Company shall have complied with the filing and effective provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of the Late Registration Payment shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.  Without limiting any of the other rights of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the failure by the Company to timely make any or all of such Late Registration Payments shall constitute an Event of Default under the Notes.  No liquidated damages under this Section 8(c) shall payable with respect to any shares required to be omitted as a result of the operation of Rule 415.
 
(c)           Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
(d)           Discontinued Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii)-(v), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

VOTING AGREEMENT
 
VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 12, 2010 (this "Agreement"), by and among Perpetual Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the stockholders listed on the signature pages hereto under the heading "Stockholders" (each a "Stockholder" and collectively, the "Stockholders"), and the Investors (as defined below).
 
 
 
WHEREAS, the Stockholders own and have the power and authority to vote an aggregate of [_________] shares of Common Stock, which represent in the aggregate a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote; and
 
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Investors to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and as a condition thereto, each Stockholder desires to enter into this Agreement with respect to all the shares of Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock of the Company which carry voting rights, now owned and which may hereafter be acquired by the Stockholder (including without limitation, via stock splits, stock dividends), and any other securities of the Company which such Stockholder is currently entitled to vote, or after the date hereof, becomes entitled to vote, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (collectively, the "Shares").
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows (unless otherwise defined herein capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement):
 
ARTICLE I
 
VOTING AGREEMENT OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
 
SECTION 1.01.   Voting Agreement.  Each Stockholder hereby agrees to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to elect one representative to the Board of Directors of each of the Company, BVI Company, Technic and Foshan as shall be designated by the Majority in Interest (as defined below) (the “Noteholder Designee”), and to maintain such Noteholder Designee as a director of each such company until time as the Notes are no longer outstanding.   Without limiting the foregoing, each Stockholder agrees that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company for the election of directors, however called, and in any action by written consent of the Company's stockholders, such Stockholder shall vote his Shares:  (a) to elect the Noteholder Designee as a director of the Company, and (b) against any proposal or any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or, except as provided in Section 1.02 hereof, which could result in the removal of the Noteholder Designee prior to the time the Notes are no longer outstanding.  Each Stockholder acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  The Majority in Interest designates Chris Bickel as the initial Noteholder Designee.
 
 
 

 
 
SECTION 1.02.   The Noteholder Designee shall be elected at any annual or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders) and shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.  The Stockholders shall vote all of their Shares to cause the Noteholder Designee to be removed from his or her position as a director during his or her term of office, when, and only when, such removal is requested by Note holders holding Notes evidencing at least 51% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Majority in Interest”).  In the event of any vacancy in the board seat to be filled by the Noteholder Designee, the Company agrees to promptly nominate, and the Stockholders agree to promptly vote their Shares, to elect such person as has been designated to fill such position in the manner set forth in this Article 1.
 
ARTICLE II
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
 
Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, severally but not jointly, to each of the Investors as follows:
 
SECTION 2.01.   Authority Relative to This Agreement.  Each Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his or its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Stockholder has taken whatever steps necessary, including without limitation, moving the Shares from a margin account to a cash account and/or delivering any voting instructions or legal proxy to any necessary broker or agent, to ensure that such Stockholder has the necessary power and authority to vote all of his Shares or has properly empowered such broker or agent to vote in accordance herewith.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms.
 
SECTION 2.02.   No Conflict.  i)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder shall not, (i) conflict with or violate any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to any Stockholder or by which such Stockholder’s Shares are bound or affected or (ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien or encumbrance on any of such Stockholder’s Shares pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or his Shares are bound.
 
(b)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder shall not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any governmental entity by such Stockholder.
 
 
2

 
 
SECTION 2.03.   Title to the Stock.  As of the date hereof, such Stockholder is the owner of the number and kind of shares of Shares set forth opposite its name on Appendix A attached hereto, and is entitled to vote such Shares, without restriction, on all matters brought before holders of capital stock of the Company.  Such Shares are all the securities of the Company owned, either of record or beneficially, by such Stockholder, and are owned by such Stockholder free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, agreements, limitations on such Stockholder's voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.  Such Stockholder has not appointed or granted any proxy, which appointment or grant is still effective, with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares.
 
ARTICLE III
 
COVENANTS
 
SECTION 3.01.   No Disposition or Encumbrance of Stock.  Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, such Stockholder shall not offer or sell, transfer, tender, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to, or create or permit to exist any security interest, lien, claim, pledge, option, right of first refusal, agreement, limitation on such Stockholder's voting rights, charge or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever ("Encumbrance") with respect to his Shares, or directly or indirectly initiate, solicit or encourage any person to take actions which could reasonably be expected to lead to the occurrence of any of the foregoing.
 
SECTION 3.02.   Company Cooperation.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, and each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not (and waives any rights against the Company in relation thereto), recognize any Encumbrance or agreement on any of the Shares.  The Company shall take no actions to contravene the purpose of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03.   Notices.  The Company shall provide the Investors and the Stockholders with reasonable prior written notice, such that the Noteholder Designee can be included in the intended mailing, of any intended mailing of notice to stockholders for a meeting at which directors are to be elected, and the Majority in Interest shall notify the Company in writing, prior to such mailing, of the person designated by them as the Noteholder Designee.  If the Majority in Interest fails to provide notice to the Company as provided above, the existing member of the Board serving as the Noteholder Designee shall be deemed to be the Noteholder Designee for reelection to the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.03.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Company and the Stockholders (other than the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Company and the Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
SECTION 4.04.  Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto.
 
SECTION 4.05.  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
SECTION 4.06.  Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, employees or agents) will be commenced in the New York Courts.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court, or that such proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If either party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.
