Forward-Looking Statements


This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs and assumptions made by the Company’s management as well as information currently available to the management.  When used in this document, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, and “expect” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.  Certain of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in this report in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”.  The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.


PART I


Item 1.  Business.


Introduction


Dionics, Inc. (referred to herein as “Dionics”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 19, 1968, designs, manufactures and markets semiconductor electronic products.  The Company has never been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding, and we have never been involved in any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.  


Our principal offices are located at 65 Rushmore Street, Westbury, New York 11590 and our telephone number is (516) 997-7474.  Our website can be accessed at www.dionics-usa.com.  The information on our website is not incorporated into this Annual Report.


Business of the Company


The Company derives revenues from only one group of similar products – semiconductor electronic products.  The Company designs, manufactures and sells silicon semi-conductor electronic products, as individual discrete components, as multi-component integrated circuits, as multi-component hybrid circuits and as silicon light-chips.  While there are variations among the products we design and sell, our various products categories contain more similarities than differences.  All of our products are produced with the same labor and with much common equipment.  As a result, our product categories are not considered different groups of products.   


Our individual discrete components are predominantly transistors, diodes and capacitors, intended for use in miniature circuit assemblies called “hybrid micro-circuits”.  In order to facilitate their being easily assembled into the “hybrid” circuits products by its customers, these products are supplied by the Company in un-wired unencapsulated microscopic chip form.  A variety of such components is supplied by the Company, some as “standard” products which it offers to the industry at large, and other as special or custom-tailored products which it manufactures to certain specific electronic requirements of an individual customer.


Due to the rapidly changing needs of the marketplace, there are continual shifts in popularity among the various chip components offered by the Company.  Within the year, and from year to year, a largely random variation in the needs of its customers prevents any meaningful comparison among the many devices in this category.  


Our multi-component integrated circuits are encapsulated, assembled, integrated circuits for use in electronic digital display functions.  Due to unusual and proprietary technology, the Company is able to produce high-voltage integrated circuits higher than the average available in the industry.  These are designed for specific high-voltage applications involved in digital displays based on gas-discharge or vacuum fluorescence.  


For the most part, the Company’s sales in this category of product are standard circuits, designed by the Company, and offered to the industry at large.  In some instances, customer-designed circuits are produced and sold only to the sponsoring customer, with specific electrical performance needed by that customer.


Our multi-component hybrid circuits consist of a range of hybrid circuits that function as opto-isolated MOSFET drivers and custom Solid State Relays.  Both of these incorporate a light emitting diode (LED) as the input and a



3



dielectrically-isolated (DI) array of photo-voltaic diodes which, in response to the infra-red light input, generate a voltage as the output.  MOSFET drivers, or ISO-GATES, as the Company has named them, are sold as a packaged combination of the LED and photo-voltaic chips.  Custom Solid State Relays also add the MOSFET output devices in the same package along with certain other associated components.


Our “Silicon light-chips” combine certain aspects of other products, along with several unique features of their own. This product involves Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) of different colors being embedded in carefully shaped depressions in a Silicon chip. The main advantages of the combination is to enhance the light-delivery of the LEDs, as well as to keep them cool. These Silicon light-chips may be used in lighting systems that produce white light or mono-colored light.  


Raw Materials


Raw materials essential to our business are readily available from many sources within the United States.  Although we limit ourselves to a relatively small number of suppliers, we are not restricted to such suppliers, and Management believes the availability to such raw materials is widespread.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, no significant difficulties were encountered in obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials.


Patent Protection


The Company has had nine United States patents issued to date.  Each patent is for a 17-year duration.  The earliest patent was granted in 1971 and the latest in 1990.  Therefore, the expiration dates range from 1988 through 2007.  As a result, all such patents have expired.  There can be no assurance that others may not independently develop the same, similar or alternative products or otherwise obtain access to our proprietary technologies.  


Dependence on Certain Customers


For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 39.8% of total sales were to our three largest customers. Such three largest customers were as follows:


 

Approximate

 

Percentage

Name

of Business in 2009

 

 

Customer “A”

23.0%

Customer “B”

10.5%

Customer “C”

6.3%


The actual names of the customers above referred to are not set forth since the identity of such substantial customers is a trade secret of the Company and deemed confidential.  Disclosure of such names would be detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its investors and would adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.


The loss of any of the above customers may have a material adverse affect on the business of the Company.


Backlog


Almost all of the orders for the Company’s products are by their terms cancelable, or their delivery dates may be extended by a customer without penalty.  There can be no assurance that any of the orders will become consummated sales.  Accordingly, none of the orders that the Company has can be designated as backlog.  With respect to orders that are believed to be firm, but are nonetheless subject to cancellation, such backlog was at December 31, 2008 approximately $234,138 and at December 31, 2009 approximately $120,051.


Competition


The Company competes with numerous other companies which design, manufacture and sell similar products.  Some of these competitors have broader industry recognition, have financial resources substantially greater than the Company and have far more extensive facilities, larger sales forces and more established customer and supplier relationships than those which are available to the Company.  




4



Competition in the industry is principally based upon product performance and price.  The Company’s competitive position is based upon its evaluation of its products’ superior performance and its general pricing structure which Management believes is favorable in its industry although the Company may suffer from price competition from larger competitors whose facilities and volume base enable them to produce a competitive product at a lower price.


Effect on Compliance with Government Regulation


Compliance with Federal, State and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has had no material effect upon the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.


Other Information


 

We have not invested any material amount of assets in, nor have we publicly announced, any material new product.


Our business is not seasonal.


No material portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the Government.


Change in Control


On October 30, 2009 (the “CML Closing Date”), the Company completed the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “CML Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on October 8, 2009 among the Company, Central Mega Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“CML”), and Bernard Kravitz (“Kravitz”), pursuant to which, among other things, CML purchased on the CML Closing Date an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.04 per share, consisting of 11,000,000 authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $440,000 which was paid to the Company on the CML Closing Date, and 2,000,000 previously issued shares of common stock owned by Kravitz for an aggregate purchase price of $80,000 which was paid to Kravitz on the CML Closing Date (the “CML Stock Purchase”).


The CML Stock Purchase Agreement provided that on the CML Closing Date the number of authorized directors of the Company shall initially be set at three, and that two persons designated by CML prior to the CML Closing Date shall be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (with CML having the absolute right to appoint a majority of the members of the Board) which appointments shall be effective immediately following expiration of the 10 day statutory notice period required in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 14f of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), following filing/mailing to Company shareholders of an appropriately prepared information statement on Schedule 14f-1.  In accordance therewith, on the CML Closing Date, Jeff Teng and Roy Teng were appointed to the Board to be effective immediately following the conditions described above.


In addition, the CML Stock Purchase Agreement provides that at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, or at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which members of the Company’s Board of Directors are to be elected, or whenever members of the Board are to be elected by written consent, CML has agreed that for so long as Kravitz remains an employee of the Company, CML will vote in favor of the election of Kravitz as a member of the Board of Directors.  In addition, if after the Closing Date and for so long as Kravitz remains an employee of the Company, the number of authorized directors of the Company shall be other than three, then CML has agreed that it will vote in favor of the election of Kravitz and any other persons designated by Kravitz as members of the Board, provided, however, that such persons together with Kravitz cannot represent a majority of the directors.  


On the CML Closing Date, David M. Kaye, a then director of the Company, submitted his resignation as a director of the Company, to be effective immediately following the effectiveness of Jeff Teng’s and Roy Teng’s appointment to the Board of Directors.  As a result, following the effectiveness of the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall consist of Bernard Kravitz, Jeff Teng and Roy Teng.


As a result of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the CML Stock Purchase Agreement, a change in control occurred whereby (i) CML acquired 13,000,000 shares of common stock representing approximately 62.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) designees of CML shall represent a majority of the members of the Board which appointments shall be effective immediately following expiration of the 10 day statutory



5



notice period required in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 14f of the Exchange Act following filing/mailing to Company shareholders of an appropriately prepared information statement on Schedule 14f-1.  


Such appointments and resignation described herein became effective on November 16, 2009 following completion of the foregoing conditions.  


Employees


The number of persons employed by the Company at December 31, 2009 was 11.  The Company’s employees are not represented by unions and/or collective bargaining agreements.


Available Information


The Company is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith, files periodic reports, documents and other information with the SEC relating to its business, financial condition and related matters. These reports and other information may be inspected and are available for copying at the offices of the SEC, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 and are additionally available on the SEC’s internet website at www.sec.gov.


Item 1A.   Risk Factors.


In addition to other information and financial data set forth elsewhere in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company.


THE ONGOING ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT. The ongoing global economic slowdown has caused disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy, and declining consumer and business confidence.  While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. For example, the consequences of the economic crisis could result in interruptions or delays in our suppliers’ or customers’ performance of any contracts, reductions and delays in customer purchases, delays in or the inability of customers to obtain financing to purchase our products, and bankruptcy of customers.  Any of these events may materially adversely affect our business.


OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE.  Our operating results may fluctuate because of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  Some of these factors that affect our results but which are difficult to control or predict are: the reduction, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by customers whether as a result of slowing demand for our products, stockpiling of our products or otherwise; fluctuations in the timing and amount of customer requests for product shipments; fluctuations in product life cycles; changes in the mix of products that our customers buy; competitive pressures on selling prices; the ability of our customers to obtain components from their other suppliers; and general economic conditions.  


NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL RETURN TO PROFITABILITY. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had sales of $1,256,500 and $1,109,100, respectively, and achieved net income of $199,900 in 2008 and $119,500 in 2007.  However, for the year ended December 31, 2009, we had sales of only $628,000 and suffered a net loss of $243,900.  While we believe such results may be primarily due to the ongoing global economic slowdown, there can be no assurance that we will not return to an extended period of non-profitability similar to the five consecutive years prior to 2007 in which sales averaged approximately $800,000 per year and we suffered net losses in four of those five years.


LOSS OF KEY CUSTOMERS.  Our customers are concentrated, so the loss of one or more key customers could significantly reduce our revenues.  In 2009, approximately 39.8% of our revenues were from three customers.  The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.


TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES.  Rapidly changing customer requirements, evolving technologies and industry standards characterize the semiconductor industry.  To achieve our goals, we need to continually enhance our existing products and develop and market new products that keep pace with ongoing changes in industry standards, requirements and customer preferences. If we cannot keep pace with these changes, our business could suffer.


COMPETITION.  The Company competes with numerous other companies which design, manufacture and sell similar products.  Some of these competitors have broader industry recognition, have financial resources substantially greater than the Company and have far more extensive facilities, larger sales forces and more established customer and



6



supplier relationships than those which are available to the Company.  Competition in the industry is principally based upon product performance and price.  The Company’s competitive position is based upon its evaluation of its products’ superior performance and its general pricing structure which Management believes is favorable in its industry although the Company may suffer from price competition from larger competitors whose facilities and volume base enable them to produce a competitive product at a lower price.


POSSIBLE PAYMENTS DUE TO THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MAY DETRIMENTALLY IMPACT THE COMPANY.  Pursuant to an agreement entered into on May 1, 2009 between the Company and Bernard Kravitz, Kravitz agreed to sell, transfer and assign to the Company his remaining interest in the salary continuation agreement previously entered into with Kravitz which had a remaining principal balance of $301,000 owing to Kravitz and which was to have become due and payable on May 18, 2009 in exchange for which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Kravitz $75,000 in cash and issue Mr. Kravitz a convertible promissory note dated as May 1, 2009 (the “Original Note”) in the principal amount of $225,000 which shall be due and payable in three years with 5% annual interest payable quarterly.  On October 30, 2009, the Company and Kravitz entered into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”) pursuant to which the Company and Kravitz agreed that the unpaid balance shall cease to accrue interest commencing as of the Closing Date of the CML Stock Purchase Agreement.  In addition, pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Company and Kravitz agreed that the conversion price shall be $0.09 per share until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.  Thereafter, as in the Original Note, the conversion price shall be $0.14 per share if converted on or before April 30, 2011, and $0.19 per share if converted between May 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012.  As a result, and unless such conversion privileges are exercised by Kravitz, the unpaid balance of $225,000 shall be due and payable on May 1, 2012.


In addition, on October 30, 2009, Kravitz, CML and the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement (the “Put Agreement”) pursuant to which Kravitz has been granted a put option (the “Put Option”) to be exercised at the sole option of Kravitz at the end of the initial  two year term of his Employment Agreement (or an earlier termination pursuant to the certain other terms of the Employment Agreement), to sell to CML a maximum of 1,000,000 previously issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Put Shares”) at a price equal to the then current market price multiplied by .80, with a minimum purchase price per share of $0.30 and a maximum purchase price per share of $0.80, provided that in the event CML does not comply with the terms and conditions of the Put Agreement, the Company shall be required to purchase the Put Shares at the same price applicable to the Put Option.  As a result, in the event Kravitz exercises his put option and CML does not comply with its obligations thereunder, the Company will be required to purchase such shares at  a price which will be no less than $300,000 and no greater than $800,000.  


In the event the Company is required to meet either or both of the foregoing payment obligations, the Company may not have the necessary cash to make such payments, or if it does, such payments may draw significantly on the Company’s cash position.  Any of such events will likely have a materially detrimental effect on the Company.


PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY PROTECTION.  The Company has had nine (9) United States patents issued to date.  Each patent is for a 17-year duration.  The earliest patent was granted in 1971 and the latest in 1990.  Therefore, the expiration dates range from 1988 through 2007.  As a result, all such patents have expired.  There can be no assurance that others may not independently develop the same, similar or alternative products or otherwise obtain access to our proprietary technologies.  


DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL.  Our success is dependent upon the continued service of our key personnel including our current chief executive officer.   While, to our knowledge, none of such persons has any definitive plans to retire or leave our company in the near future, any of such persons could decide to leave us at any time to pursue other opportunities. The loss of services of Mr. Kravitz or any of our other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Due to the specialized nature of our business, our success depends in part upon attracting and retaining the services of qualified managerial and technical personnel.


MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING OUR FINANCIAL CONTROLS MAY STRAIN OUR RESOURCES AND DIVERT MANAGEMENT’S ATTENTION.  We are subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The requirements of these rules and regulations have increased, and we expect will continue to increase, our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to do. As a result of this and similar activities, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.




7



CURRENT LEVELS OF MARKET VOLATILITY COULD HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS.  The capital and credits markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption. If the current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience adverse effects, which may be material. These effects may include, but are not limited to, difficulties in raising additional capital or debt and a smaller pool of investors and funding sources.  There is thus no assurance the Company will have access to the equity capital markets to obtain financing when necessary or desirable.


MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK; VOLATILITY OF THE STOCK PRICE.  Our stock price experiences significant volatility.  The market price of the Common Stock, which currently is quoted on the OTCBB, has, in the past, fluctuated substantially over time and may in the future be highly volatile.  In addition, the Company believes that relatively few market makers make a market in the Company’s Common Stock.  The actions of any of these market makers could substantially impact the volatility of the Company’s Common Stock.


ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS.  We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.


POTENTIAL FUTURE SALES PURSUANT TO RULE 144.  Many of the shares of Common Stock presently held by management and others are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a certain holding period, may, under certain circumstances sell such shares or a portion of such shares.  Effective as of February 15, 2008, the holding period for the resale of restricted securities of reporting companies was shortened from one year to six months.  Additionally, the SEC substantially simplified Rule 144 compliance for non-affiliates by allowing non-affiliates of reporting companies to freely resell restricted securities after satisfying a six-month holding period (subject only to the Rule 144(c) public information requirement until the securities have been held for one year) and by allowing non-affiliates of non-reporting companies to freely resell restricted securities after satisfying a 12-month holding period.  Such holding periods have already been satisfied in many instances.  Therefore, actual sales or the prospect of sales of such shares under Rule 144 in the future may depress the prices of the Company’s securities.  


OUR COMMON STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. Our Common Stock is classified as a penny stock, which is traded on the OTCBB.  As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock.  In addition, the “penny stock” rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission subject the sale of the shares of the Common Stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker-dealers.  For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Furthermore, if the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer’s account by obtaining information concerning the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.  The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission’s rules may result in the limitation of the number of potential purchasers of the shares of the Common Stock.  In addition, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock, which could severely limit the market of our Common Stock.


LIMITATIONS OF THE OTCBB CAN HINDER COMPLETION OF TRADES.  Trades and quotations on the OTCBB involve a manual process that may delay order processing. Price fluctuations during a delay can result in the failure of a limit order to execute or cause execution of a market order at a price significantly different from the price prevailing when an order was entered.  Consequently, one may be unable to trade in our Common Stock at optimum prices.


THE OTCBB IS VULNERABLE TO MARKET FRAUD.   OTCBB securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTCBB reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.


INCREASED DEALER COMPENSATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STOCK PRICE.  OTCBB dealers’ spreads (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large, causing higher purchase prices and less sale proceeds for investors.

Except as required by the Federal Securities Law, we do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-KSB or for any other reason.


Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


Item 2.   Properties.


The Company’s executive offices are located at 65 Rushmore Street, Westbury, New York, which until July 2005 was owned by the Company.  Contemporaneously with the sale of the property on July 27, 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with the purchaser pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease the property for the term of seven years at a base monthly rental of $6,940.50.  Commencing August 1, 2009, the base rent shall be increased annually in accordance with the changes in the Consumer Price Index.  The Company shall also pay all costs, fees, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature (including real estate taxes) relating to the property during the term of the Lease.  The Company has the right to terminate the Lease prior to the expiration date upon 120 days notice to the landlord.


The Company fully utilizes the property which presently houses all of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, as well as all of its research, sales and management activities.  


The Company believes that its present facilities are adequate for current operations.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.


Item 4.  Reserved.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, we issued or sold the following equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”):


On May 16, 2008, we granted 472,500 shares of common stock to 10 employees and 100,000 shares of common stock to David M. Kaye, a then director of the Company, for services rendered to the Company.  In addition, on October 2, 2008, we granted 100,000 shares of common stock to one employee for services rendered to the Company.  All of the foregoing shares of common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, for “transactions by the issuer not involving any public offering”.


As described in Part I, Item 1, “Change in Control”, on October 30, 2009, the Company completed the transactions contemplated in the CML Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, CML purchased on October 30, 2009 an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.04 per share, consisting of 11,000,000 authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $440,000 which was paid to the Company on such date, and 2,000,000 previously issued shares of common stock owned by Bernard Kravitz for an aggregate purchase price of $80,000 which was paid to Bernard Kravitz on such date.  All such shares of common stock sold by the Company were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.



Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Early in the year of 2009, the Company began to anticipate the May 18th end to a five-year deferral of payment against a $301,000 debt owed to its CEO. The Deferred Compensation Agreement that encompassed the debt had been amended and delayed numerous times, and in 2004 was again deferred as part of an independent investment negotiation with an outside investor, also requiring the CEO to forgive an additional $200,000. However, as the May 18, 2009 date came closer, with corporate financial performance suffering badly in the wake of a national recession, an examination of the Company’s rapidly dwindling cash reserves made it clear that the Company could not possibly meet its May 18th debt-payment obligation. Rather than permit the Company to go into default, with the many unpleasant financial and legal consequences that might follow, it was determined by the Board of Directors that the mutually best solution would be for the Company to purchase from the CEO all remaining interests, rights and entitlements he had under the Agreement, and to render it null and void. This was done on May 1st, prior to the due date for payment of the debt, and was executed in exchange for a two-part payment of $75,000 in cash, plus issuance of a $225,000 Convertible Note, yielding 5% interest payable quarterly. Conversion privileges extended over three-years at different conversion prices, ranging from $.09 to $.19 per common share. See Note 6 - “Contingencies and Commitments” to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, for information on the subsequent amendment to the Convertible Note.


During the Fourth Quarter of 2009, a British Virgin Islands company, Central Mega Limited (CML) acquired 11-million shares of Dionics, Inc. common stock from the Company, in exchange for $440,000 and further, in a private transaction, acquired an additional 2-million shares from the Company’s President, Bernard Kravitz, in exchange for $80,000. The combined 13-million shares gave CML a 62% ownership position, as well as two seats on the new 3-person Board of Directors. The injection of $440,000 of new Working Capital shored up the Company’s badly weakened financial condition which had resulted from the ongoing severe economic downturn. For further information, see Note 6 - “Commitments and Contingencies” to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.


With the exception of the above CML investment, the Company’s primary source of funds is cash flow from operations in the normal course of business.  On December 31, 2009 the Company had Working Capital of $576,100, a debt-to-equity ratio of .67 to 1 and Stockholders’ Equity of $372,200. This compares to Working Capital of $179,600, a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.86 to 1 and Stockholders’ Equity of $201,100 on December 31, 2008.  Total Assets were $622,700 and Total Liabilities were $250,500 at December 31, 2009 as compared to Total Assets of $575,500 and Total Liabilities of $373,400 at December 31, 2008.


Net Cash used in operating activities for the 12-months ended December 31, 2009 was $323,500 which was primarily a result of a Net Loss of $268,900 plus increases in prepaid expenses of $10,500 and a decrease in Inventory of $15,800, as well as a decrease in accounts payable of $22,400, accrued expenses of $25,500 and deferred compensation of $75,000 (resulting from the Agreement entered into on May 1, 2009 with the Company’s CEO in which he consented to sell back to the Company his interest in the earlier deferred compensation agreement) , offset by a decrease of accounts receivable of $63,300. This compares to Net Cash provided by operating activities for the 12-months ended December 31, 2009 of $177,500 which was mainly the result of Net Income of $199,900 plus an increase in accrued expenses of $13,100 and non-cash stock-based compensation of $16,400, offset by an increase in inventory of $35,200, as well as a decrease in accounts payable of $18,100. For the 12-months ended December 31, 2009 there was net cash provided by financing activities of $440,000 due to the CML investment compared to net cash used in financing activities of $29,000 for from the 12-months ended December 31, 2008 due to the repayment of emergency loans previously made by the CEO to the Company . For the 12-months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 there were no cash flows provided by (used for) investing activities.

Results of Operations


As the year 2009 opened, it was evident that the country, the world and, of course, Dionics, Inc. were all caught in a serious economic downturn. New order bookings simply were not showing up and, as the backlog drained down, new shipping became more and more difficult. Reviews of the business outlook with prior customers found the almost unanimous reaction that they were also waiting for orders from their own customers before placing any with us. The entire business cycle seemed frozen at the top. By the Third Quarter, traditionally the slowest in our industry, shipments were so low that the Company had a negative gross profit margin. Fortunately, the Fourth Quarter saw a modest turnaround, but the year ended with a dismal year-over-year comparison of all business metrics.


Sales volume in 2009 fell almost exactly 50% from 2008, showing $628,000 in 2009 versus $1,256,500 in 2008. The drop, very simply, was the result of lower incoming orders, described above.


Cost of Sales was $550,300 in 2009, or 87.6% of sales volume versus $717,000 in 2008, or 57% of sales volume. Clearly, the lower sales volume in 2009 produced a less efficient use of manufacturing resources, including largely fixed costs in equipment, overhead and underutilized personnel capacity.


The Gross Profit in 2009 fell to $77,700, 12.4% of sales volume, versus a Gross Profit of $539,500 or 42.9% of sales in 2008.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses remained almost unchanged during the two-year period, reflecting the essentially fixed nature of this category.  S,G&A for 2009 was $339,700, as compared to $343,100 in 2008.


Net Income (Loss) comparisons show a Loss of $268,900 in 2009 versus a Gain of $199,900 in 2008. The primary causes for the dramatically unfavorable comparison are the major reduction in shipping levels plus the lower manufacturing efficiency stemming from largely fixed costs.


At the time of this writing, late in March of 2010, there is solid evidence of renewed new order bookings, a moderate projected improvement for the First Quarter of 2010 and, if the favorable trends continue, a welcome bounce-back for the entire year of 2010.  Our primary technology thrust remains focused on the large market potential for our optically-isolated, photovoltaic (PV) MOSFET-Drivers.  As our new investor, CML, continues to become familiar with that market and our technology, they are beginning to ramp up their efforts to assist our sales programs in Asia, largely in China and Japan. We have also been using this still relatively slow period to further enhance product performance as well as also explore a variety of other growth opportunities. As the assistance from CML begins to materialize, management at Dionics will be alerted for signs of “rabbit-ears poking out of the proverbial hat.” We will be more than pleased to share the news.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.


Significant Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements included elsewhere herein.  The application of our critical accounting policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations.  These critical accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.


Accounts Receivable - Accounts for which no payments have been received for three consecutive months are considered delinquent and a reserve is setup for them.  Customary collection efforts are initiated and an allowance for uncollectible accounts is set up and the related expense is charged to operations.


Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which represents cost of materials and manufacturing costs on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.  Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor, and overhead costs.  Factory overhead costs are allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon cost of materials.  



12




Notes Payable - The Company accounts for all note liabilities that are due and payable in one year as short-term notes.


Long-Lived Assets- Property, Plant and Equipment - These assets are recorded at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are accounted for on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives.  The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and large renewals, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized whereas maintenance, repairs and small renewals are expenses, as incurred.  The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 7-15 years; buildings, 30 years; and leasehold improvements, 10-20 years.


Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT


 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dionics, Inc.:


 

I have audited the balance sheet of Dionics, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related income statements, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.


I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dionics, Inc., as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, I express no such opinion.

DIONICS, INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


BUSINESS


Dionics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of  Delaware on December 19, 1968.  The Company, which is based in Westbury, New York, designs, manufactures and markets semiconductor electronic products, as individual discrete components, as multi-component integrated circuits, as multi-component hybrid circuits and as silicon light-chips.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principals 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and cash equivalents


Holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair values.  The amount of federally insured cash deposits was $283,900 as of December 31, 2009.


Concentration of Risk


The Company maintains cash deposits in a bank with offices located in New York, that at times, exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company performs periodic reviews of the relative credit rating of its bank to lower its risk.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts for which no payments have been received for three consecutive months are considered delinquent and a reserve is setup for them.  Customary collection efforts are initiated and an allowance for uncollectible amounts is set up and the related expense is charged to operations.


Merchandise Inventory


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which represents cost of materials and manufacturing costs on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor, and overhead costs.  Factory overhead costs are allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon cost of materials.  The Company monitors usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted down due to lack of demand for the item.  The Company adjusts down the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between  the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-down may be required.   


Inventories are comprised of the following:

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)


Long-Lived Assets – Property, Plant and Equipment


These assets are recorded at cost less depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and Amortization are accounted for on the straight-line methods based on estimated useful lives.  The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.  Betterments and large renewals, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expensed, as incurred.  The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 7-15 years; buildings, 30 years; and leasehold improvements, 10-20 years.  

  

Revenue


The Company recognizes revenue upon completion and shipment of goods because its billing terms include the provision that the goods are shipped FOB point of shipment which is standard practice in the Company’s industry.


Bad Debt


The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,300 at December 31, 2009 and $5,300 at December 31, 2008.


Stockholders’ Equity


On May 16, 2008, the Company granted an aggregate of 472,500 shares of common stock to certain employees, 100,000 shares of common stock to a director of the Company for services rendered to the Company. On October 2, 2008, the Company granted 100,000 shares of common stock to an employee for services rendered. The fair value of stock issued to employees and directors  is determined  by the  market price on the date of grant.


On October 30, 2009 (the “CML Closing Date”), the Company completed the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “CML Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on October 8, 2009 among the Company, Central Mega Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“CML”), and the Company’s chief executive officer, pursuant to which, among other things, CML purchased on the Closing Date an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.04 per share, consisting of 11,000,000 authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $440,000 which was paid to the Company on the Closing Date, and 2,000,000 previously issued shares of common stock owned by the chief executive officer for an aggregate purchase price of $80,000 which was paid to the executive officer on the Closing Date (the “CML Stock Purchase”).


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments when available.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.


Major Customers


For the 12 months ended December 31, 2009, approximately 40% of total sales were to their 3 largest customers.


Basic Earnings per Common share


Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding (i.e. options and warrants) during the period.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)


Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  There were no deferred taxes for the period ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. See NOTE 5.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06) (codified within ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). ASU 2010-06 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 157. ASU 2010-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those years. The Company will comply with the additional disclosures

required by this guidance upon its adoption in January 2010.


In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, - Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. ASU 2009-16 amends the accounting for transfers of financials assets and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, with early adoption not permitted. The Company will comply with the additional disclosures required by this guidance upon its adoption in January 2010.


In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, - Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. ASU 2009-15 amends the accounting and reporting guidance for debt (and certain preferred stock) with specific conversion features or other options. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2009-13 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, - Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13) (codified within ASC Topic 605). ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2009-13 on its consolidated financial position, results of  operations and cash flows.


In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-05, - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-05) (codified within ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168) (codified within ASC 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). SFAS 168 stipulates that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. In conjunction with the issuance of SFAS 168, the SEC issued interpretive guidance Final Rule 80 (FR-80) regarding FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. Under FR-80, the SEC clarified that the ASC is not the authoritative source for SEC guidance and that the ASC does not supersede any SEC rules or regulations. Further, any references within the SEC rules and staff guidance to specific standards under U.S. GAAP should be understood to mean the corresponding reference in the ASC. FR-80 is also effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.


In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (SFAS 166) (codified within ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing). SFAS 166 amends the derecognition guidance in SFAS No. 140, - Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 140). SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will comply with the additional disclosures required by this guidance upon its adoption in January 2010.


In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, - Subsequent Events (SFAS 165) (codified within ASC 855 - Subsequent Events). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance on June 30, 2009.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, - Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1) (codified within ASC 825 - Financial Instruments). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance on June 30, 2009.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4 - Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly (codified within ASC 820). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 becomes effective for interim and annual reporting periods after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, - Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2) (codified within ASC 320 . Investments – Debt and Equity Securities). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 change the method for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists for debt securities and the amount of the impairment to be recorded in earnings. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-05 Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to a Company's Own Stock, (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity), the FASB ratified the consensus reached on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock. This consensus clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under the standard accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This consensus is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years  beginning after December 15, 2008. It was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this consensus did not have a significant effect on the company's consolidated financial statements.


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, - Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161) (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity‘s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. The Company currently does not have any derivative financial instruments subject to accounting or disclosure under this standard; therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, for both issued and revised financial statements. This amendment alleviates potential conflicts between the FASB’s guidance and the reporting rules of the SEC. Our adoption of this amended guidance, which was effective upon issuance, had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  There were no subsequent events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 4 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION:


In 1987, the Company entered into a salary continuation agreement, amended in 1997 and 1998, with its chief executive officer (the “deferred compensation agreement”) which provides for payments to be paid to the executive officer.  In May 2004, and as required under an investment made by a third party, the executive officer agreed to forgive $200,000 of amounts due to him under the deferred compensation agreement and postpone any and all remaining payments due him under the deferred compensation agreement for a period of five years starting May 18, 2004.  As of May 1, 2009, there was a remaining balance of $301,000 owing to the executive officer which was scheduled to become due and payable as of May 18, 2009 following the expiration of the five year postponement described above.    


Pursuant to an agreement entered into on May 1, 2009 between the Company and the chief executive officer, the executive officer  agreed to sell, transfer and assign to the Company his remaining interest in the deferred compensation agreement in exchange for which the Company agreed to pay the executive $75,000 in cash and issue the executive officer a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $225,000 which shall be due and payable in three years with 5% annual interest payable quarterly.  The principal shall at the option of the executive officer be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.09 per share if converted during the first year, $0.14 per share if converted during the second year, and $0.19 per share if converted during the third year.


The purchase price for the deferred compensation agreement was $1,000 less than the deferred compensation previously due. This $1,000 difference is considered forgiveness of debt and is included in the Other Income section on the Income Statement.


See NOTE 6 for information on the amendment to the promissory note entered into on October 30, 2009.

NOTE 5 – TAXES AND NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS: (continued)


Under current accounting guidelines, NOLs represent temporary differences that enter into the calculation of deferred tax assets.  Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the NOL is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.


Management believes that there is a risk that certain of these NOLs may expire unused and, accordingly, has established a valuation allowance against them.  Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, based on the historical trend in Company sales and profitability, sales backlog, and budgeted sales management believes it is likely that they may not be totally realized through future taxable earnings.  In addition, the net deferred tax assets could  be reduced in the near term if management’s estimates of taxable income during the carry forward period are significantly reduced.


The Company believes it is possible that the benefit of these additional assets may not be realized in the future.


NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


On July 27, 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement with 65 Rushmore Realty, LLC. The lease agreement is a triple net lease and is for a period of seven years with a base annual rent of $83,300 to be paid in monthly installments of $6,900.  This annual rent is subject to annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers of the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics in effect for New York and Northern New Jersey starting August 1, 2009.  The Company has the right to terminate the lease prior to the expiration upon 120 days notice to the landlord.


In connection with the CML Stock Purchase, on October 30, 2009 (see Note 1-Stockholders’ Equity), the chief executive officer, CML and the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement (the “Put Agreement”) pursuant to which the chief executive officer has been granted a put option (the “Put Option”) to be exercised at the sole option of the chief executive officer at the end of the initial  two year term of the Employment Agreement described below (or an earlier termination pursuant to the certain other terms of the Employment Agreement), to sell to CML a maximum of 1,000,000 previously issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Put Shares”) at a price equal to the then current market price multiplied by .80, with a minimum purchase price per share of $0.30 and a maximum purchase price per share of $0.80, provided that in the event CML does not comply with the terms and conditions of the Put Agreement, the Company shall be required to purchase the Put Shares at the same price applicable to the Put Option.


October 30, 2009, the Company and the chief executive officer entered into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”) which amended a certain convertible promissory note (the “Original Note”) payable to the chief executive officer dated as of May 1, 2009 in the principal amount of $225,000 which is due and payable in three years with 5% annual interest payable quarterly.  (See Note 4).  Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Company and the chief executive officer agreed that the unpaid balance shall cease to accrue interest commencing as of the Closing Date of the CML Stock Purchase Agreement.  In addition, the Company and the chief executive officer agreed that the conversion price in which the principal amount may be converted into shares of common stock shall be $0.09 per share until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.  Thereafter, as in the Original Note, the conversion price shall be $0.14 per share if converted on or before April 30, 2011, and $0.19 per share if converted between May 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012.


On October 30, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the chief executive officer pursuant to which the chief executive officer will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.  The term of the Employment Agreement shall be two years from the Closing Date, provided that the term may be extended upon the written agreement of the chief executive officer and the Company.  The chief executive officer will receive an annual base salary of $93,600 subject to annual review for possible increase, and will receive other benefits.

NOTE  7 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY


Accounting Standards Codification


 In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which replaced the previous hierarchy of U.S. GAAP and establishes the FASB Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  SEC rules and interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. This guidance modifies the U.S. GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of U.S. GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative.  This guidance was effective for the Company as of December 31, 2009.  The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial positions since the FASB Codification is not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP.


Subsequent Events


In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, for both issued and revised financial statements. This amendment alleviates potential conflicts between the FASB’s guidance and the reporting rules of the SEC. Our adoption of this amended guidance, which was effective upon issuance, had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  There were no subsequent events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.  


None.   



Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that all information required to  be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   


There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.


Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.


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

There are no family relationships of any kind among our directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors except that Roy Teng is the son of Jeff Teng.


To the knowledge of the Company, none of the directors or executive officers has been personally involved in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the directors or executive officers have been convicted in any criminal proceedings (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or are the subject of a criminal proceeding which is presently pending, nor have such persons been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining them from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or insurance company, or from engaging in or continuing in any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any security, nor were any of such persons the subject of a federal or state authority barring or suspending, for more than 60 days, the right of such person to be engaged in any such activity, which order has not been reversed or suspended.


Audit Committee Financial Expert


We do not have an audit committee financial expert, as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, serving on our audit committee because we are not a listed security and, therefore, we have no audit committee and are not required to have an audit committee.

Includes matching contributions paid by the Company for Mr. Kravitz during 2008 and 2009 of $3,527 and $3,707, respectively, pursuant to the Company’s Savings and Investment Plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.   Also, includes health insurance premiums of $9,354 and $9,690 paid by the Company in 2008 and 2009, and insurance premiums of $9,975 paid by the Company in each of 2008 and 2009 for a long term care insurance policy for Mr. Kravitz obtained in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Does not include any other deferred compensation arrangements entered into with Mr. Kravitz as described below under “Deferred Compensation and Other Arrangements”.


Deferred Compensation and Other Arrangements


The Company had an agreement (the “deferred compensation agreement”) with Bernard Kravitz to pay to his widow or estate for a period of five (5) years following his death an amount per year equal to the annual salary being earned by Mr. Kravitz at the time of his death, provided that he was an employee of the Company at the time of his death.   See, however, Part III, Item 13 for information on the termination of the foregoing arrangements as of October 30, 2009.

 

In 1987, the Company entered into a salary continuation agreement, amended in 1997 and 1998, with Bernard Kravitz which provided for payments to be made to Mr. Kravitz (the “salary continuation agreement”).  In May 2004, and as required under the investment made by Alan Gelband, Mr. Kravitz agreed to forgive $200,000 of amounts due to him under the salary continuation agreement and postpone any and all remaining payments due him under the salary continuation agreement for a period of five years starting May 18, 2004.  As of December 31, 2008, there is a remaining balance of $301,000 owing to Mr. Kravitz pursuant to the salary continuation agreement which was to become due and payable as of May 18, 2009 following the expiration of the five year postponement described above.   




17





Pursuant to an agreement entered into on May 1, 2009 between the Company and Kravitz, Kravitz agreed to sell, transfer and assign to the Company his remaining interest in the salary continuation agreement previously entered into with Kravitz which had a remaining principal balance of $301,000 owing to Kravitz and which was to have become due and payable on May 18, 2009 in exchange for which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Kravitz $75,000 in cash and issue Mr. Kravitz a convertible promissory note dated as May 1, 2009 (the “Original Note”) in the principal amount of $225,000 which shall be due and payable in three years with 5% annual interest payable quarterly.  See, however, Part III, Item 13   for information on an amendment to the Original Note entered into October 30, 2009  


Compensation Pursuant to Other Plans          


On July 1, 1985, the Company adopted a Savings and Investment Plan intended to qualify as a defined contribution plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Internal Revenue approval was granted in 1986.  The plan, as amended, provides that a member  (an eligible employee of the Company) may elect to save no less than 1% and no more than 15% of that portion of his compensation attributable to each pay period (subject to certain limitations).  The Company shall contribute (matching contributions) 100% of the first 3% of the member’s contribution and 50% of the next 2% of the member’s contribution.  In addition, the Company shall contribute such amount as it may determine for each plan year (regular contributions) pro rata allocated to each member subject to certain limitations.  Any employee with one year of service may become a member of the plan. Upon eligibility for retirement, disability (as defined in the plan), or death, a member is 100% vested in his account.  Upon termination of employment for any other reason, a member is 100% vested in that portion of his account which he contributed and vested in the balance of his account dependent upon years of service as follows:

See subsection “Summary Compensation Table” elsewhere herein for information on matching contributions paid by the Company for Mr. Kravitz during 2008 and 2009.


Employment Contracts


In connection with the CML Stock Purchase, on October 30, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Bernard Kravitz pursuant to which Kravitz will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.  The term of the Employment Agreement shall be two years from October 30, 2009, provided that the term may be extended upon the written agreement of Kravitz and the Company.  Mr. Kravitz will receive an annual base salary of $93,600 subject to annual review for possible increase.  During the employment term, Kravitz shall be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan and program that the Company maintains for its senior executives and he shall receive other benefits including health insurance, vacation, reimbursement of certain expenses, and provision for life insurance and continuation of long term care insurance.  The agreement also contains customary provisions for confidentiality, non-competition and indemnification. If the employment agreement is terminated due to death or disability, Kravitz or his estate will be paid his base salary and receive certain other benefits for eight weeks after death or disability.  If Kravitz’s employment is terminated for cause, salary shall cease at the date of termination.  If Kravitz terminates the agreement for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), the Company shall pay or provide to Kravitz his base salary and certain other benefits through the remainder of the employment term as if his employment had continued through the entire employment term.


We do not have any termination or change in control arrangements with any of our named executive officer.  See, however, Part III. Item 13 for information on the Put Option Agreement entered into by Kravitz, CML and the Company on October 30, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, no cash compensation was paid to the Company’s non-employee directors for their services as such.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.


See Part III, Item 11, “Deferred Compensation and Other Arrangements” for information on a salary continuation agreement previously entered into with Bernard Kravitz and an agreement entered into on May 1, 2009 between the Company and Kravitz pursuant to which Kravitz agreed to sell, transfer and assign to the Company his remaining interest in the salary continuation agreement in exchange for which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Kravitz $75,000 in cash and issue Mr. Kravitz a convertible promissory note dated as May 1, 2009 (the “Original Note”) in the principal amount of $225,000 which shall be due and payable in three years with 5% annual interest payable quarterly.  


On October 30, 2009, the Company and Kravitz entered into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”) which amended the Original Note.  Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Company and Kravitz agreed that the unpaid balance shall cease to accrue interest commencing as of the Closing Date of the CML Stock Purchase Agreement.  In addition, the Original Note provided that the principal shall at the option of Kravitz be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.09 per share if converted on or before April 30, 2010, $0.14 per share if converted between May 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, and $0.19 per share if converted between May 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012.  Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Company and Kravitz agreed that the conversion price shall be $0.09 per share until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.  Thereafter, as in the Original Note, the conversion price shall be $0.14 per share if converted on or before April 30, 2011, and $0.19 per share if converted between May 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012.


In connection with the CML Stock Purchase, on October 30, 2009, Kravitz, CML and the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement (the “Put Agreement”) pursuant to which Kravitz has been granted a put option (the “Put Option”) to be exercised at the sole option of Kravitz at the end of the initial  two year term of the Employment Agreement described below (or an earlier termination pursuant to the certain other terms of the Employment Agreement), to sell to CML a maximum of 1,000,000 previously issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Put Shares”) at a price equal to the then current market price multiplied by .80, with a minimum purchase price per share of $0.30 and a maximum purchase price per share of $0.80, provided that in the event CML does not comply with the terms and conditions of the Put Agreement, the Company shall be required to purchase the Put Shares at the same price applicable to the Put Option.


On October 30, 2009, the Company and Kravitz also executed a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) which terminated a certain deferred compensation agreement between the Company and Kravitz (see Part III, Item 11, “Deferred Compensation and Other Arrangements”).  As a result of the Termination Agreement, the underlying deferred compensation agreement is deemed void and of no further effect.  


See Part III, Item 11, “Employment Contracts” for information on an employment agreement entered into as of October 30, 2009 with Mr. Kravitz pursuant to which Kravitz will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.  


During 2009, the Company paid $73,259 for legal services rendered and disbursements to the law firm of which David M. Kaye is a partner.   Mr. Kaye was a director of the Company from December 2000 to November 2009.  


Other than the foregoing, since January 1, 2009, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party: (i) in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and (ii) in which any director, executive officer, person nominated or chosen to become a director, shareholder who beneficially owns 5% or more of our common stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Kravitz, Jeff Teng and Roy Teng.  Mr. Kravitz is the Company’s President, Secretary and Treasurer.  We have determined that each of Jeff Teng and Roy Teng is an independent director.  We have determined their independence using the general independence criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
