Overview
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah as Gold Standard, Inc., on November 28, 1972 and changed our name to Chang-On International, Inc. on April 18, 2007. We are principally engaged in the business of waste recycling and reutilization in the People’s Republic of China (“China”) through our wholly owned subsidiary, Chang-On International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong as a limited liability company on September 8, 2006 (“Chang-On HK”).

Chang-On HK is a holding company with one asset: 61% of the equity in Harbin Hongbo Environment Protection Material, Inc. (“Hongbo”), a corporation organized under the laws of China.  The remaining 39% of the registered capital of Hongbo is owned by Guomin Li (29%) and Su Yu (10%), who are members of our Board of Directors.  Hongbo was incorporated in November 2004.   Until September 2006, it was entirely engaged in developing its technology and the factory where its products will be produced.  From September to December 2006, it completed its first sales, realizing $43,023 in revenue from the sale of its products.  For the year ended December 31, 2008 we had generated net sales of $91,786.  Because Hongbo has not yet produced significant revenues, it is still a “development stage company” for financial reporting purposes.

Our principal offices are located at 514, No, 18 Building, High New Technology Development, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. Our fiscal year end is December 31. Both Hongbo and Chang-On HK are our majority-owned subsidiaries.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CAON.OB.”

Our Business

We are the majority owner of Hongbo.  Hongbo manufactures construction materials from waste products (“SF material”) and has filed eleven Chinese patents to protect their proprietary products and production techniques.  Its progress toward a significant place in the construction materials industry has been recognized by both the Chinese government, which awarded Su Yu, one our directors, the “Gold Medal for Industrial Innovation Contribution,” and by the industry itself, as demonstrated by the Gold Medal awarded to Hongbo at the Hong Kong International New Technology and Product Exposition.

Hongbo’s business is the development and production of products utilizing SF synthetic material.  SF material is a composite of waste plastic and coal ash.  We currently obtain the waste plastic from six recycling facilities in Harbin and we obtain the coal ash from the Harbin Power Station.  Hongbo removes these two burdens from the environment and transforms them into a highly variable construction material.  In the process, we produce no pollution, and incur insignificant expenses relating to compliance with environmental regulations.  Since our inception we have not had any shortage of availability of these waste products and we do not anticipate any shortages in the foreseeable future.

Products, Marketing and Competition

At present, Hongbo’s product line consists of wallboard used in building construction.  They are also equipped to manufacture well covers using SF materials. However, the limited nature of the product line is solely a function of a lack of capital resources.  Hongbo currently possesses the know-how to transform SF material into plates, tubes or section bars.  With the necessary funding, they are intending to equip their production facility to produce replacements for medium density fiberboard, steel molding board, a wide range of PVC products, and plasticized steel bars.  They can produce both acid-proof pipe and alkali-proof pipe with SF material – even corrosion resistant junction boxes.  SF products can also be substituted, in whole or in part, for bricks, sand and cement in many construction applications. Their SF products, therefore, not only transform harmful pollutants into safe and usable products, but can replace traditional products, such as PVC-based pipes, the production of which is itself a source of pollution.  Their competitive advantage comes from their proprietary, patent protected products and manufacturing process, low cost of acquisition of raw materials and the environmentally friendly nature of their construction materials.

The Hongbo factory has now been developed to the point where they are capable of producing 1,430 tons of SF materials per year.  Full production, therefore, would yield annual revenues of approximately $900,000, based on the presently quoted price of $625 per ton.  We are actively engaged in negotiations with a number of large construction companies located near our plant in Harbin, China.  Until full utilization of our manufacturing facility occurs, we will be focused on completing equipping our factory and organizing our marketing program.  When full production does commence, Hongbo anticipates that a number of factors will help them to achieve profitability:

·  
The cost of raw materials, relative to the resale price of their product, is modest.  They currently pay $50 to $62 per ton to have waste plastic separated from other trash, and obtain coal ash free-of-charge.  Hongbo pays less than $3 per ton to have the waste products transported to their plant.  This is a very cost effective structure for manufacturing of construction materials.

·  
Because of they low cost of production, Hongbo’s SF materials will be sold at prices substantially below the prices of the products they replace.  For example, the quoted price for SF material is now less than 50% of the prevailing price of PVC.  This disparity should provide Hongbo with the flexibility to increase prices without significantly hindering sales if the initial operations prove unprofitable.

·  
Hongbo’s operations are looked on with favor by the Chinese government, which has become very conscious of the need to improve the environmental condition of China.  One result of the government’s support for Hongbo has been a five year exemption from income tax.  

Statistics available for the year 2000 indicate that 20 millions tons of waste plastics and 200 million tons of coal ash were deposited in China in that year.  The rapid expansion of the Chinese economy since 2000 has only increased this problem.  The government of China, like governments worldwide, has focused their attention and resources on developing solutions to environmental problems.  Hongbo’s SF technology can make a significant contribution to the process of cleaning up our landfills and environment.

Hongbo intends to market their products on the basis of their environmental benefits as well as price.  Because the raw materials they use are waste products, they expect to be able to price their products at levels significantly below those of standard construction products.  In addition, they intend to develop a reputation for quality through the implementation of strict quality controls to allow the business to attain profitability when direct competition in environmentally-beneficial products emerges.  In order to increase the marketability of their products Hongbo has filed their application for ISO 9001 compliance certification.

Intellectual Property

The accumulation of patents by Hongbo should also provide a significant competitive advantage in the future.  Currently they hold twelve patents separate Chinese patents for proprietary products and manufacturing processes, including patents for:

·   
solidified SF board;
 
 ·   
temperature controlling board;
 
·   
SF material well cover and base;
 
·   
pressing and injection method for the manufacture of SF material; and
 
·   
method of calculation while manufacturing combined materials.

To drive our technological advantage, we have implemented a program of providing advanced education for our employees, to enable them to maintain the technological lead we have developed in this field.  To date, we have financed advanced technological education for several of our employees in Chinese universities.  Our plan is that, when we have sufficient working capital, we will send employees abroad to obtain usable knowledge from the worldwide community.

Research and Development
 
We have not had any expenses associated with research and development for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  We have spent $22,578 on research and development from November 26, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008.
 
Employees
 
We currently have 48 employees. All of our employees are employed on a full time basis.
 
Subsidiaries
 
We have one wholly owned subsidiary and one majority owned subsidiary.  Our wholly owned subsidiary is Chang-On International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong as a limited liability company on September 8, 2006 (“Chang-On HK”).  Chang-On HK, in turns, owns 61% of the share capital of Harbin Hongbo Environment Protection Material, Inc. (“Hongbo”), a corporation organized under the laws of China and our majority owned subsidiary.  The remaining 39% of the registered capital of Hongbo is owned by Guomin Li (29%) and Su Yu (10%), who are members of our Board of Directors.  Hongbo was incorporated in November 2004.

Legislation and Government Regulation

The national, provincial and local governments in the People’s Republic of China are highly bureaucratized.  The day-to-day operations of our business require frequent interaction with representatives of the Chinese government institutions.  The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be daunting.  Significant delays can result from the need to obtain governmental approval of our activities.  These delays can have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations.  In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to organic farming and production may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect our profitability.  So far, the government has been very supportive of our technology and has provided us with a $100,000 grant as well as a five year exemption from income tax.

Environment

We are subject to China’s national Environmental Protection Law, which was enacted on December 26, 1989, as well as a number of other national and local laws and regulations regulating air, water, and noise pollution and setting pollutant discharge standards. Violation of such laws and regulations could result in warnings, fines, orders to cease operations, and even criminal penalties, depending on the circumstances of such violation. We believe that all manufacturing operations comply with applicable environmental laws, including those laws relating to air, water, and noise pollution.

Patent Protection in China

China’s intellectual property protection regime is consistent with those of other modern industrialized countries. China has domestic laws for the protection of rights in copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. China is also a signatory to most of the world’s major intellectual property conventions, including:

 
Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Convention) (June 4, 1980);
     
 
Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (March 19, 1985);
     
 
Patent Cooperation Treaty (January 1, 1994); and
     
 
The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) (November 11, 2001).

Patents in China are governed by the China Patent Law and its Implementing Regulations, each of which went into effect in 1985. Amended versions of the China Patent Law and its Implementing Regulations came into effect in 2001 and 2003, respectively.

China is signatory to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, in accordance with which any person who has duly filed an application for a patent in one signatory country shall enjoy, for the purposes of filing in the other countries, a right of priority during the period fixed in the convention (12 months for inventions and utility models, and 6 months for industrial designs).

The Patent Law covers three kinds of patents: patents for inventions, utility models and designs respectively. The Chinese patent system adopts the principle of first to file. This means that, where more than one person files a patent application for the same invention, a patent can only be granted to the people who first filed the application. Consistent with international practice, China only allows the patenting of inventions or utility models that possess the characteristics of novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. For a design to be patentable, it should not be identical with or similar to any design which, before the date of filing, has been publicly disclosed in publications in the country or abroad or has been publicly used in the country, and should not be in conflict with any prior right of another.

Chinese law provides that anyone wishing to exploit the patent of another must conclude a written licensing contract with the patent holder and pay the patent holder a fee. One rather broad exception to this, however, is that, where a party possesses the means to exploit a patent but cannot obtain a license from the patent holder on reasonable terms and in a reasonable period of time, China State Intellectual Property Office, or SIPO, is authorized to grant a compulsory license. A compulsory license also can be granted where a national emergency or any extraordinary state of affairs occurs or where the public interest so requires. The patent holder may appeal such decision within three months from receiving notification by filing a suit in a people’s court. SIPO, however, has not granted any compulsory license up to now.

Chinese law defines patent infringement as the exploitation of a patent without the authorization of the patent holder. A patent holder who believes his patent is being infringed may file a civil suit or file a complaint with a Chinese local Intellectual Property Administrative Authority, which may order the infringer to stop the infringing acts. A preliminary injunction may be issued by the People’s Court upon the patentee’s or the interested parties’ request before instituting any legal proceedings or during the proceedings. Evidence preservation and property preservation measures also are available both before and during the litigation. Damages in the case of patent infringement is calculated as either the loss suffered by the patent holder arising from the infringement or the benefit gained by the infringer from the infringement. If it is difficult to ascertain damages in this manner, damages may be reasonably determined in an amount ranging from one to more times of the license fee under a contractual license. The infringing party may also be fined by the Administration of Patent Management in an amount of up to three times the unlawful income earned by such infringing party. If there is no unlawful income so earned, the infringing party may be fined in an amount of up to RMB 500,000 or approximately $73,000.

Market Information
 
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the trading symbol “CAON.OB”.  The market for our stock is highly volatile. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock. The OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had cash of $3,798 and a working capital deficit of $185,421. Our accumulated deficit was $2,689,591 at December 31, 2008. Our net loss of $2,795,957 since November 26, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008 was mostly funded by our equity financing and shareholder loans. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we did not raise any funds from equity financing. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 our cash position decreased by $3,582.
 
We used net cash of $103,823 in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash of $217,544 in operating activities for the same period in 2007.  This decrease in cash used was mostly due to a decrease in salaries and utilities.  We used net cash of $1,852 in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash of $105,403 for the same period in 2007.  This substantial decrease was due to a smaller amount of equipment purchases for our factory.
 
We received net cash of $98,067 from financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 entirely in the form of shareholder loans.  Comparatively we received $246,433 for the same period in 2007, due to proceeds from shareholder loans.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 our monthly cash requirement was approximately $8,652, compared to approximately $18,129 for the same period in 2007.
 
The effect of exchange rates on cash was an increase in cash of $4,026 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The effect of exchange rates on cash was an increase in cash of $19,825 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
 
We expect to require a total of approximately $930,000 set out as follows to fully carry out our business plan over the next twelve months beginning April 2009.  Our expenditures for the next twelve months include:
 
Description
Estimated Expenses ($)
Research and development costs for further products and manufacturing processes
250,000
Consulting fees (including legal and auditing fees)
100,000
Rent expenses
20,000
Marketing expenses
400,000
Investor relations costs
80,000
Other administrative expenses
80,000
Total
930,000

 
We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow until we can generate substantial revenues, which may take the next few years to fully realize. There is no assurance we will achieve profitable operations. We have historically financed our operations primarily by cash flows generated from the sale of our equity securities and through cash infusions from officers and affiliates in exchange for debt and/or common stock. No officer or affiliate has made any commitment or is obligated to continue to provide cash through loans or purchases of equity.
 
We estimate that we require an additional financing of approximately $930,000 to carry out our planned business operations and expansion over the next 12 months.
 
We intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through external sources: a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in North America and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements. However, we currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through future capital raising efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money, we may not fully carry out our business plan.

Results of Operations
 
Revenues
 
Our total revenues increased $19,841 from $14,461 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 to $34,302 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 entirely from sales of our SF construction materials.  The increase in total revenues was due to our increased product sales.  As we are a development stage company, our revenue streams are not established and thus our product sales are unstable. Since November 26, 2004 to December 31, 2008 we generated total revenues of $91,786.
 
Net Loss
 
We incurred net loss of $978,188 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net loss of $1,598,147 for the same period in 2007. The decrease of $619,959 in net loss was largely the result of decreased stock-based compensation and fixed asset impairment during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  Since November 26, 2004 to December 31, 2008, we incurred net loss of $2,795,957.  $2,082,500 of our net loss from November 26, 2004 to December 31, 2008 has been the non-cash issuance of stock based compensation to various consultants.
 
Our net loss per share was $0.02 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the same for the same period in 2007.
 
Expenses
 
Our total operating expenses decreased $673,289 to $1,027,856 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 from $1,701,145 for the same period in 2007. The significant decrease in total operating expenses was mainly due to decreased stock based compensation, fixed assets impairment and lower salary and utilities costs.
 
From November 26, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008 our total operating expenses were $3,101,645, including $2,082,500 in stock-based compensation, $108,286 in salaries, $91,634 in utilities, 131,332 in depreciation and $22,578 in research and development.
 
Our salary payments decreased $29,696 to $23,224 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 from $52,920 for the same period in 2007.  Our utilities expenses decreased $35,887 to $23,100 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 from $58,987 for the same period in 2007. The increase in utilities was due to more extensive operations.  Our depreciation expenses decreased $34,622 to $28,322 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 from $62,944 for the same period in 2007.
 
Additionally, we incurred expenses of $345, 962 for fixed asset impairment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, but did not have any such expenses during the same period in 2008.

Going Concern
 
Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products on a timely and cost-effective basis, respond to competitive developments and emerging industry standards, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to market our building materials and fully carry out our business plan. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is our ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. Obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors including market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. If we are unable to raise additional financing, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel planned activities or substantially change our current corporate structure. In such an event, we intend to implement expense reduction plans in a timely manner. However, these actions would have material adverse effects on our business, revenues, operating results, and prospects, resulting in a possible failure of our business. If we raise funds through equity or convertible securities, our existing stockholders may experience dilution and our stock price may decline.
 
We have generated limited revenues and incurred significant operating losses from operations. Since we anticipate we will expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through equity securities’ offerings and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from stockholders or other outside sources to sustain operations and meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. We have limited capital with which to pursue our business plan. There can be no assurance that our future operations will be significant and profitable, or that we will have sufficient resources to meet our objectives.
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. If we are unable to obtain additional financing from outside sources and eventually produce enough revenues, we may be forced to sell our assets, curtail or cease our operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all our majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation.  Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of our operations is Reminbi (“RMB”)

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when finished products are shipped to unaffiliated customers, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and accepted, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
12


 
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Additions and improvement that substantially extend the useful life of the properties, plan and equipment are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

Foreign currencies translation

Our functional currency is the RMB. The accompanying financial statements have been expressed in United States dollars, our reporting currency.  The balance sheet is translated into United States dollars based on the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  The statement of operations is translated using a weighted average rate for the period.  Translation adjustments are reflected as accumulated comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
 
Inflation
 
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Stockholders of
Chang-On International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage company)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chang-On International, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period November 26, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chang-On International, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period November 26, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has generated limited revenue and has incurred accumulated losses of $2,689,591 from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On December 29, 2006, under the terms of the Agreement for the Share Exchange, the Company agreed to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of Chang-On in return for the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of common stock.

Chang-On is a holding company that owns 61% of the registered capital of Hongbo on November 26, 2004. Hongbo is engaged in the business of manufacturing construction materials from waste products. All of Hongbo’s business is currently in the PRC.

The Company is considered to be a development stage company, as it has not generated substantial revenues from operations.

Note 2- GOING CONCERN

The Company had incurred accumulated losses of $2,689,591 from operations since inception and has limited operations. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and strategic partners, which would enhance owners’ investment.

F-7

 
·  
Use of estimates
 
In preparing these financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
·  
Revenue recognition
 
Revenues are recognized when finished products are shipped to unaffiliated customers, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and accepted, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
·  
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing overhead.
 
·  
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Additions and improvement that substantially extend the useful life of the properties, plan and equipment are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
 
·  
Intangible Assets
 
The Company periodically analyzes its intangible assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with US GAAP.

Related Parties
 
The caption "Due from shareholders" represents loans receivable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore are not considered current assets.
 
The caption "Due to shareholders" represents loans payable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Refer to Note 8.

·  
Income Tax

Income tax 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.

The Company did not provide any current or deferred income tax provision or benefit for any period presented to date because there is no income from operations, with only minor timing differences with regard to the depreciation of fixed assets. Management has determined that any deferred tax asset or liability is inconsequential, and not material to the financial statements.
·  
Foreign currencies translation
 
The functional currency of the Company is the Reminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying financial statements have been expressed in United States dollars, the reporting currency of the Company.  The balance sheet is translated into United States dollars based on the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  The statement of operations is translated using a weighted average rate for the period.  Translation adjustments are reflected as accumulated comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

·  
Net loss per share
 
Net loss per share is computed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period.  There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008 or 2007. 
 
·  
Newly adopted Accounting Principles
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13" ("FSP 157-1") and FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2"). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 was not material to the Company's financial statements or results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 159 is an elective standard which permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any assets or liabilities under SFAS No. 159.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS No. 160).  SFAS No. 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  The statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation and expands disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS No. 160 was not material to the Company's financial statements or results of operations.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R).  SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to expand disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the business combination.  SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141R was not material to the Company's financial statements or results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard 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. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”) which amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS No. 142”). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of assets and intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. It removes a provision under FAS No. 142, requiring an entity to consider whether a contractual renewal or extension clause can be accomplished without substantial cost or material modifications of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. Instead, FSP FAS 142-3 requires that an entity consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. An entity would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal if no such relevant experience exists. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
 
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application of EITF 03-6-1 is prohibited. It also requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11- INCOME TAXES

Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company was governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws (the previous income tax laws and rules). Pursuant to the previous income tax laws and rules, wholly-owned foreign enterprises were subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax). Due to the Company’s net loss, there was no provision for income taxes.

In March 2007, the Chinese government enacted the Corporate Income Tax Law, and promulgated related regulations, which were effective January 1, 2008. The Corporate Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises. The previous income tax laws and rules, which stipulated income tax rates for domestic and foreign invested enterprises at different rates, expired upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Income Tax Law.

The components of the Company’s Tax provision were as follows:

   
For the Year Ended December 31, 2008
   
For the Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
Current income tax expense (benefit)
           
    PRC Enterprise Income Tax

    United States Federal Income Tax
    -       -  
      -       -  
                 
Total provision for income taxes
  $ -     $ -  


A reconciliation between the income tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate and the Company’s provision for income tax is as follows:

   
December 31, 2008
   
December 31, 2007
 
U.S. statutory rate
    34 %     34 %
Foreign income not recognized in the U.S.
    -34 %     -34 %
PRC enterprise income tax rate
    25 %     33 %
Provision for income tax
    25 %     33 %

Deferred income taxes reflect the net income tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income taxes.  No material deferred tax liabilities or assets existed as of July 31, 2008 and 2007.

The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized.

It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.

The Company has no United States corporate income tax liability as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
F-14


 
Note 12- GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

All of the Company's sales and all of the Company's long-lived assets are located in PRC.
 
Note 13- OPERATING RISK

Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality institutions to mitigate the fact there is no deposit insurance.

Country risk
The Company has significant investments in the PRC. The operating results of the Company may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in Chinese government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. There can be no assurance; however, those changes in political and other conditions will not result in any adverse impact.
 
Note 14- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

Full time employees of the Company participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees' salaries. The total provisions for such employee benefits were $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. 

Note 15- RESTRICTED RETAINED EARNINGS
 
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC ("PRC GAAP") at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). The Company did not make any appropriations to the reserve funds mentioned above due to lack of profit after tax since commencement of operations.
 
Note 16- CONDENSED PARENTS COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X as the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of Chang-On International, Inc. exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of Chang-On International, Inc. The ability of our Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balances of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. Because substantially all of our operations are conducted in China and a substantial majority of our revenues are generated in China, a majority of our revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, we may be unable to distribute any dividends outsides of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.

The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles and policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with the only exception being that the parent company accounts for its subsidiaries using the equity method. Refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes presented above for additional information and disclosures with respect to these financial statements.

The accounting firm of Kempisty & Co, Certified Public Accountants, audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008.  There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accounting firm on accounting and financial disclosure.
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.  Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
 
1. We have no formal audit committee.
 
2. There is a risk of management override given that our senior officers have a high degree of involvement in our day to day operations.
 
3. There is no formal policy on fraud at this time.
 
Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.

In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, the Company concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal control.

As a result, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all necessary Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were filed.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because we have not yet finalized the content of such a code. Companies whose equity securities are listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board are not currently required to implement a code of ethics.
 
Director Nominees
 
We do not have a nominating committee. The Board of Directors, sitting as a Board, selects individuals to stand for election as members of the Board. Since the Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decision of the Board as to director nominees is made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board of Directors' meeting at which the slate of Board nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions of proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the shareholder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of shareholders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the shareholder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board of Directors, as well as a list of references.
 
16

 
The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management's slate of director nominees submitted to shareholders for election to the Board.
 
Among the factors that the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees are their knowledge of, and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from the candidate prior to reaching a determination. The Board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.
 
Audit Committee
 
The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not presently need an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee.  Our Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.
 
 
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2008, compensation awarded to our Principal Executive Officer (PEO), and to other persons serving as executive officers whose salary and bonus for such year exceeded $100,000 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) for the last two completed fiscal years.
