THE COMPANY
 
We are a niche precision steel processing company principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of high precision cold-rolled steel products and in the provision of heat treatment and cutting of medium and high carbon hot-rolled steel strips and chrome series stainless steel. We conduct our operations principally in China through our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Shanghai Chengtong Precision Strip Co., Limited, or Chengtong. We intend to expand overseas into Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, the European Union and the United States in the future.
 
We currently produce extremely thin cold-rolled precision steel strips ranging from 3.0 mm to 0.03 mm. We also provide heat treatment and cutting of medium and high carbon hot-rolled steel strips and chrome stainless steel series not exceeding 3.0 millimeters fineness. Currently, our specialty precision products are mainly used in the manufacture of automobile parts and components, food packaging materials, saw blades, textile needles, microelectronics, packing and containers.
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had an annual production capacity of approximately 250,000 tons. Two new Phase 2 production facilities, which added approximately 10,000 square meters of production area, and an office building were completed in August 2006 and product trial runs commenced in September 2006. Actual production commenced in October 2006. In addition, with the completion of the new production facilities, Chengtong installed one 1,400mm width cold mill, adding an additional 150,000 tons to our annual production capacity. The installation of a 1,700mm cold roll mill, with an additional 150,000 tons of capacity, is expected to be completed and actual production is expected to commence prior to the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

Our Directors believe that the increased annual production capacity of approximately 400,000 tons will be fully utilized within two years after commencement of operation. The new production facilities will focus on the production of high carbon, high strength cold-rolled steel products and the production of more complex precision steel products that can not be manufactured in our current rolling mill. Our existing facilities will primarily manufacture low carbon cold-rolled steel products.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we earned net income of $7,514,101, $6,366,441 and $198,776, respectively. During the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we earned net income of $2,888,444 and $2,687,628, respectively. At December 31, 2006, we had total assets of $64,738,973. Chengtong currently has approximately 280 employees, including 24 senior management and technical staff members and leases 20,000 square meters of production facilities (including 10,000 square meters of new Phase 2 production facilities) in Jiading District, Shanghai, on four acres of property.   
 
We are a Colorado company and became a public company in May 1997 through a reverse merger with SSI Capital Corporation. At that time, we changed our name to OraLabs Holding Corp. In December 2006, we merged with Partner Success Holdings Limited, or PSHL, a British Virgin Islands business company, which owns Chengtong. In connection with that transaction, we subsequently redeemed all of the shares of our outstanding common stock owned by our former President, Gary Schlatter, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of OraLabs, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. Thereafter, we renamed ourself China Precision Steel, Inc. to reflect our continuing operations.
 
Our corporate headquarters are located 8th Floor, Teda Building, 87 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, and our telephone number is (011) 86-21-5994-8500. Our agent for service of process in the United States is The Corporation Company, 1675 Broadway, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80202. Although we maintain a website at www.shctps.com, we do not intend that information available on our website be incorporated into this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

The realization of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and future prospects.
 
Risks Relating to the Company’s Business
 
Steel consumption is cyclical and worldwide overcapacity in the steel industry and the availability of alternative products has resulted in intense competition, which may have an adverse effect on profitability and cash flow.
 
Steel consumption is highly cyclical and generally follows general economic and industrial conditions both worldwide and in various smaller geographic areas. The steel industry has historically been characterized by excess world supply. This has led to substantial price decreases during periods of economic weakness, which have not been offset by commensurate price increases during periods of economic strength. Substitute materials are increasingly available for many steel products, which may further reduce demand for steel. Additional overcapacity or the use of alternative products could have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its results of operations.
 
Rapidly growing demand and supply in China and other developing economies may result in additional excess worldwide capacity and falling steel prices.
 
Over the last several years steel consumption in China and other developing economies such as India has increased at a rapid pace. Steel companies have responded by developing plans to rapidly increase steel production capability in these countries and entered into long-term contracts with iron ore suppliers in Australia and Brazil. Steel production, especially in China, has been expanding rapidly and could be in excess of Chinese demand depending on continuing demand growth rates. Because China is now the largest worldwide steel producer, any significant Chinese capacity excess could have a major impact on world steel trade and prices if excess production is exported to other markets.
 
Increases in prices and limited availability of raw materials and energy may constrain operating levels and reduce profit margins.
 
Steel producers require large amounts of raw materials - iron ore or other iron containing material, steel scrap, coke and coal as well as large amounts of energy. Over the last several years, prices for raw materials and energy, in particular natural gas and oil, have increased significantly. In many cases these price increases have been at a greater percentage than price increases for the sale of steel products. Steel producers have periodically been faced with problems in receiving sufficient raw materials and energy in a timely manner, resulting in production curtailments. These production curtailments and escalated costs have reduced profit margins and may continue to do so in the future, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its results of operations.
 
Environmental compliance and remediation could result in substantially increased capital requirements and operating costs.
 
The Company’s operating subsidiary, Shanghai Chengtong Precision Strip Co., Ltd., which we sometimes refer to as Chengtong, is currently subject to numerous Chinese provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These laws continue to evolve and are becoming increasingly stringent. The ultimate impact of complying with such laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable because regulations under some of these laws have not yet been promulgated or are undergoing revision. The Company’s consolidated business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected if the Company were to increase expenditures to comply with any new environmental regulations affecting its operations.
 
The Company may require additional capital in the future and we cannot assure that capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, or on terms that would not cause substantial dilution to stockholdings.
 
The development of high quality specialty precision steel requires substantial funds. Sourcing external capital funds for product development and requisite capital expenditures are key factors that have and may in the future constrain the Company’s growth, production capability and profitability. For the Company to achieve the next phase of its corporate growth, increased production capacity, successful product development and additional external capital will be necessary. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Any sale of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock will cause dilution to the holders of the Company’s common stock and could also cause the market price of its common stock to decline.

The Company faces significant competition from competitors who have greater resources than the Company, and the Company may not have the resources necessary to successfully compete with them.
 
The Company is one of a few manufacturers of specialty precision steel products in China. Differences in the type and nature of the specialty precision steel products in China’s steel industry are relatively small, and, coupled with intense competition from international and local suppliers, to a limited extent, consumers’ demand is rather price sensitive. Competitors may increase their market share through pricing strategies. The Company’s business is in an industry that is becoming increasingly competitive and capital intensive, and competition comes from manufacturers located in China as well as from international competition. The Company’s competitors may have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than the Company’s and the Company may be at a competitive disadvantage compared with larger companies.
 
The Company produces a limited number of products.
 
Cold-rolled specialty precision steel is a relatively new industry in China; manufacturers previously relied on imports from Japan, Korea, the European Union and the United States. Accordingly, the average quality and standards of China’s high precision steel industry lags behind the international norm. During the last three years, the Company believes that it has developed a nationally recognizable brand, however, it has not yet established an internationally recognizable brand for its specialty steel products. As of March 15, 2007, the Company offered more than 40 high precision steel products of over 100 specifications. Currently the Company produces five major categories and over ten types of high precision steel products. However, there are many other specialty precision steel products of similar nature in the market and the narrow band of the Company’s precision steel products may negatively impact the Company’s financial performance should there be drastic changes in market demands and/or competition.
 
Increased imports of steel products into China could negatively affect domestic steel prices and demand levels and reduce profitability of domestic producers.
 
In 2004, China’s total production of cold-rolled steel sheets was approximately 10.55 million tons, and imports accounted for approximately 6.91 million tons. Foreign competitors may have lower labor costs, and are often owned, controlled or subsidized by their governments, which allows their production and pricing decisions to be influenced by political and economic policy considerations as well as prevailing market conditions. Import levels may also be impacted by decisions of government agencies, under trade laws. Increases in future levels of imported steel could negatively impact future market prices and demand levels for steel produced by the Company.
 
The Company has substantial indebtedness with floating interest rates.
 
At December 31, 2006, total outstanding indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, was $30,102,117 in bank debt (all of which was interest-bearing) and $2,240,599 due to directors. Approximately 80% of the bank debt was floating-rate debt with interest rates which vary with changes in the standard rate set by the People’s Bank of China. To the extent interest rates increase, the Company will be liable for higher interest payments to its lenders. For the current financial year, annual interest on loans is anticipated to be approximately $1.8 million. The impact of a 1% increase in interest rates will increase interest expense by approximately $240,000. As the Company’s short-term borrowings mature, it will be required to either repay or refinance these borrowings. An increase in short-term interest rates at the time that the Company seeks to refinance short-term borrowings may increase the cost of borrowings, which may adversely affect the Company’s earnings and cash available for distribution to its shareholders.
 
The Company depends upon its key personnel. The loss of any key personnel or its failure to attract and retain key personnel could adversely affect its future performance, strategic plans and other objectives.
 
The loss or failure to attract and retain key personnel could significantly impede the Company’s future performance, including product development, strategic plans, marketing and other objectives. The Company’s success depends to a substantial extent not only on the ability and experience of its senior management, but particularly upon the Company’s Chairman, Wo Hing Li; the General Manager of Chengtong, Hai Sheng Chen; and Chief Financial Officer, Leada Tak Tai Li. The Company does not currently have in place key man life insurance on Wo Hing Li, Hai Sheng Chen or Leada Tak Tai Li. To the extent that the services of these officers and directors would be unavailable to the Company, the Company would be required to recruit other persons to perform the duties performed by Wo Hing Li, Hai Sheng Chen and Leada Tak Tai Li. We may be unable to employ other qualified persons with the appropriate background and expertise to replace these officers and directors on terms suitable to us.

Termination of preferential taxation policy may negatively impact our profitability.
 
As a wholly foreign owned enterprise, Chengtong is entitled to preferential tax advantages, including full tax exemption on the enterprise income tax that was generated in the first two years, after the recoveries of previous losses, and a one-half reduction in the enterprise income tax, to a rate of 13.5%, for the next 3 years. The full tax exemption for the enterprise income tax expired on December 31, 2005 and the one-half reduction on the enterprise profit tax will expire on December 31, 2008. After such tax holidays, profits generated by the Company shall be subject to the full tax rate of 27%. In the event that the Company no longer receives preferential tax treatment, such a condition would have a material adverse effect on the results of its operations.
 
Protection and infringement of intellectual property.
 
Except for a patent on the Environment-Conscious Mill Bearing with Inner Circular Lubrication, the Company has no patents or licenses that protect its intellectual property. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of the Company’s products or to obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of the Company’s products is difficult. The Company’s experienced key engineers and management staff are extensively involved in all facets of research, design, craftwork, styling and development of the specialty precision products. Potential risks on the divulgence of skills and the development of new products increase should these employees resign, as the Company relies heavily on them. Chengtong has also elected to protect internally developed know-how and production processes (such as system pressure, cleanliness of the lubrication, temperature control, appropriate allocation of oil supply and retrieving, which are vital in providing a radical solution to the difficulties associated with lubricating rolling mills’ backing bearing) by requiring all key personnel (production engineers and management staff) to sign non-disclosure and confidentiality contracts. However, the Company’s means of protecting its proprietary rights may not be adequate. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company’s proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. The Company’s failure to adequately protect its proprietary rights may allow third parties to duplicate its products, production processes or develop functionally equivalent or superior technology. In addition, the Company’s competitors may independently develop similar technologies or design around the Company’s proprietary intellectual property.
 
The Company depends upon its largest customers for a significant portion of its sales revenue, and the Company cannot be certain that sales to these customers will continue. If sales to these customers do not continue, then the Company’s sales may decline and our business may be negatively impacted.
 
The Company currently supplies its high precision steel products to 12 major customers in the Chinese domestic market. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, sales revenues generated from the top five major customers amounted to 50% and 88% of total sales revenues, respectively; sales to the largest single customer for the same periods amounted to 15% and 28% of total sales revenues, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, sales to Chengtong’s largest customer in each such period amounted to 36% and 29%, respectively. The Company does not enter into long-term contracts with its customers, and therefore cannot be certain that sales to these customers will continue. The loss of any of our largest customers would likely have a material negative impact on the Company’s sales revenues and business.
 
Defects in the Company’s products could impair the Company’s ability to sell its products or could result in litigation and other significant costs.
 
Detection of any significant defects in the Company’s precision steel products may result in, among other things, delay in time-to-market, loss of market acceptance and sales of its products, diversion of development resources, injury to the Company’s reputation or increased costs to correct such defects. Defects could harm the Company’s reputation, which could result in significant costs to the Company and could impair its ability to sell its products. The costs it may incur in correcting any product defects may be substantial and could decrease its profit margins.

If the Company’s production facilities were destroyed or significantly damaged as a result of fire or some other natural disaster, the Company would be adversely affected.
 
All of the Company’s products are currently manufactured at its existing facilities located in the Jiading District in Shanghai, China. Fire fighting and disaster relief or assistance in China may not be as developed as in Western countries. While the Company maintains property damage insurance aggregating approximately $18.5 million covering its raw materials, finished goods, equipment and buildings and another $10.5 million insurance against equipment breakdown, it does not maintain business interruption insurance. Material damage to, or the loss of, its production factory facilities due to fire, severe weather, flood or other act of God or cause, even if insured, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects.
 
Judgments against the Company and management may be difficult to obtain or enforce.
 
The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Hong Kong, PRC. Outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained against the Company in actions brought in the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws. In addition, most of the Company’s officers and directors reside outside of the United States and the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against the Company or these persons judgments predicated upon the liability provisions of United States federal securities laws.
 
The Company may not pay dividends in the future.
 
The Company may not be able to declare dividends or the Board of Directors may decide not to declare dividends in the future.
 
Risks Relating to China
 
 The Company faces significant risks if the Chinese government changes its policies, laws, regulations, tax structure or its current interpretations of its laws, rules and regulations relating to our operations in China.
 
Chengtong’s manufacturing facility is located in China. As of March 15, 2007, all of the Company’s assets are located in China and, except for a small volume of exports to Thailand and the Philippines, all of its sales revenues are generated in China. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations, financial state of affairs and future growth are, to a significant degree, subject to China’s economic, political and legal development and related uncertainties. Changes in policies by the Chinese government resulting in changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation of laws or regulations, confiscatory taxation, changes in employment restrictions, restrictions on imports and sources of supply, import duties, corruption, currency revaluation or the expropriation of private enterprise could materially and adversely affect the Company. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. If the Chinese government does not continue to pursue its present policies that encourage foreign investment and operations in China, or if these policies are either not successful or are significantly altered, then the Company’s business could be adversely affected. Chengtong could even be subject to the risk of nationalization, which could result in the total loss of investment. Following the Chinese government’s policy of privatizing many state-owned enterprises, the Chinese government has attempted to augment its revenues through increased tax collection. Continued efforts to increase tax revenues could result in increased taxation expenses being incurred by the Company. Economic development may be limited as well by the imposition of austerity measures intended to reduce inflation, the inadequate development of infrastructure and the potential unavailability of adequate power and water supplies, transportation and communications.
 
Fluctuations in exchange rates of the Renminbi could adversely affect the value of and dividends, if any, payable of shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
Save for the recent exports to Thailand and the Philippines, all of the Company’s local sales revenues are collected in and substantially all of its expenses are paid in the Chinese Renminbi. The Chinese Renminbi had remained stable against the U.S. Dollar at approximately 8.28 Yuan to 1.00 U.S. Dollar for several years, and it was not until July 21, 2005 that the Chinese currency regime was altered, with a 2.1% revaluation versus the United States Dollar. This move initially valued the Renminbi at 8.11 per United States Dollar. In addition, the Renminbi is no longer linked to the U.S. currency but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation. However, there remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, and, as of March 29, 2007, the exchange rate was 7.728 Yuan to 1.00 U.S. Dollar. The exchange rate of Renminbi is subject to changes in China’s government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of Renminbi in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amidst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) the income and profit of the Company are mainly denominated in Renminbi and (ii) the payment of dividends will be in U.S. dollars, if any, any exchange fluctuation of the Renminbi against other foreign currencies would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in foreign currency terms.

Uncertainty relating to the laws and regulations in China.
 
The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In 1979, the Chinese government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. Legislation over the past 25 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Enforcement of existing laws or agreements may be sporadic and implementation and interpretation of laws inconsistent. The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Even where adequate law exists in China, it may not be possible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of that law. The legal system in China cannot provide shareholders with the same level of protection as in the United States. Chengtong is governed by the laws and regulations generally applicable to local enterprises, and those laws and regulations have been recently introduced, remain experimental in nature and are subject to changes and further amendments.
 
Controversies affecting China’s trade with the United States could depress the Company’s stock price.
 
While China has been granted permanent most favored nation trade status in the United States through its entry into the World Trade Organization, controversies and trade disagreements between the United States and China may arise that have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s stock price. Political or trade friction between the United States and China, whether or not actually affecting its business, could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock.
 
Future changes in the labor laws in China may result in the continued increase in labor costs.
 
The Company has recently experienced an increase in the cost of labor. Any future changes in the labor laws in China could result in the Company having to pay increased labor costs. There can be no assurance that the labor laws will not change, which may have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business and results of operations.
 
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
 
The market price for shares of our common stock could be volatile; the sale of material amounts of our common stock could reduce the price of our common stock and encourage short sales.
 
Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CPSL.” The market price for the shares of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Such factors may include, without limitation, the general economic and monetary environment, quarter-to-quarter variations in our anticipated and actual operating results, future financing activities and the open-market trading of our shares, in particular.
 
The trading market in our common stock is limited and illiquid and may cause volatility in the market price.
 
As of March 1, 2007, 40%, or 13,964,883 shares, of our issued and outstanding common stock was not owned by affiliates, of which only 1,618,915 were unrestricted and free to trade. Thus, the market price for our common stock is subject to volatility and holders of common stock may be unable to resell their shares at or near their original purchase price or at any price. In the absence of an active trading market:
 
·
investors may have difficulty buying and selling;
 
·
market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and
 
·
a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market for our common stock.
 
10

 
 Our common stock price is volatile and could decline in the future.

The stock market, in general, has experienced extreme stock price fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies with Chinese operations have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside of our control, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following could have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:
 
·
our ability to obtain additional financing and, if available, the terms and conditions of the financing;
 
·
our financial position and results of operations;
 
·
period-to-period fluctuations in our operating results;
 
·
changes in estimates of our performance by any securities analysts;
 
·
new regulatory requirements and changes in the existing regulatory environment;
 
·
the issuance of new equity securities in a future offering;
 
·
changes in interest rates; and
 
·
general economic and other national conditions.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a two-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to a resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
One stockholder exercises significant control over matters requiring shareholder approval.
 
Wo Hing Li, the Company’s President, had voting power as of March 15, 2007, equal to approximately 57% of our voting securities. As a result, Wo Hing Li, through such stock ownership, exercises significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in Wo Hing Li may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control that may otherwise be viewed as beneficial by shareholders other than Wo Hing Li.
 
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC and requirements in connection with the listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.
 
We may require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion in current and new markets. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us. At the Company’s Annual Meeting on December 27, 2006, we received approval from shareholders to issue an undetermined number of our equity securities in an aggregate amount of up to 22,600,000 shares of our common stock, in connection with potential financings on such terms as the Company may determine at the time of such financings and in reliance upon available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Pursuant to such authority and as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 16, 2007, we issued a total of 8,379,627 shares of common stock to accredited institutional and other investors in connection with a private placement in the United States and elsewhere in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
 
We may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations as a result of market price volatility for our shares of common stock.
 
In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting purely from market forces over which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing and new products and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our products may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing through debt and equity or other means.
 
Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards and will impose significant additional expenses on us. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process that will be required of our independent registered public accountants is new, and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.
 
We do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We have not paid cash dividends on our stock, and we do not plan to pay cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the common stock covered hereby by the Selling Stockholders.
 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The prospectus covers 8,819,814 shares of our common stock that have been sold to the Selling Stockholders identified below, of which (i) 7,451,664 were sold pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreements, dated as of February 16, 2007, to institutional accredited and other investors in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D and Regulation S thereunder, (ii) 1,268,150 were issued in offshore transactions in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S thereunder in connection with our merger with PSHL in December 2006 and (iii) 100,000 were issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder in connection with our merger with PSHL in December 2006. These issuances are described in detail in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated as of February 16, 2007, and January 4, 2007, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
We are registering the shares to permit the Selling Stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest that receive the shares covered by this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other transfer after the date of this prospectus to resell or dispose of the shares. The table on the next page sets forth:

 
·
the name of each Selling Stockholder;

 
·
the number and percent of shares of our common stock that each Selling Stockholder reported to us as beneficially owned as of March 26, 2007; and
     
 
·
the number and percent of shares of our common stock that each Selling Stockholder is expected to own beneficially after this offering, assuming that all shares owned prior to the offering are sold in the offering, except as noted below.
 
The number of shares in the column “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering“ also represents all of the shares that each Selling Stockholder, except Belmont Capital Group Limited, or Belmont Capital, may sell under this prospectus. Belmont Capital may sell up to 333,333 shares pursuant to this prospectus. Belmont Capital acted as a financial advisor to our wholly-owned subsidiaries, PSHL and Chengtong, prior to our merger with PSHL, and since December 28, 2006, has acted as a financial advisor to us and our subsidiaries. Belmont Capital served as international placement agent in connection with the private placement of our shares of common stock as referenced above. The shares that Belmont Capital may sell pursuant to this prospectus were purchased by Belmont Capital in the private placement on the same terms as the other investors.
 
We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them or how many shares they will sell, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any of the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale of any of the resale shares. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. Except as otherwise set forth below, each Selling Stockholder has sole voting control over the shares shown as beneficially owned. Information concerning the Selling Stockholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and when necessary.
 
Except as otherwise disclosed herein or in documents incorporated herein by reference, the Selling Stockholders have not within the past three years had any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell all or some portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming the Selling Stockholders sell all of the shares offered hereby) can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after this offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the dates on which they provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned by them, all or a portion of the shares owned by them in transactions registered under other effective registration statements.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
 
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 
·
privately negotiated transactions;

 
·
to cover short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
·
sales “at the market” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market (on an exchange or otherwise) for the resale shares;

 
·
sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets;

 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale;

 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of their shares of common stock. The Selling Stockholders may offer their shares of common stock at prevailing market prices, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices. The Selling Stockholders may transfer shares to discharge indebtedness, as payment for goods or services, or for other non-cash consideration.
 
The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
16

 
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Stockholders have been advised that they may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the SEC.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.
 
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling Stockholders who are “underwriters“ within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
 
Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares. To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
 
If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this registration statement. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
17

 
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus. The Company has also agreed to pay certain costs of the Selling Stockholders relating to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part, estimated to be $62,000:
 
·
all registration and filing fees;
 
·
fees and expenses for complying with securities or blue sky laws;
 
·
fees and expenses incurred in connection with listing the shares offered for resale hereby on The NASDAQ Capital Market; and
 
·
fees and expenses of our legal counsel, accountants and other experts we retain in connection with the registration.
 
We have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of our common stock. We also have no obligation to pay any out-of-pocket expenses of the Selling Stockholders, or the agents who manage their accounts, or any transfer taxes relating to the registration or sale of the common stock.
 
The Company has agreed with the Selling Stockholders to keep the registration statement, of which this prospectus constitutes a part, effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) 24 months following the effective date of the registration statement.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, the resale shares must be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption for the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

SHARE CAPITAL
 
Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares, par value $0.001, and an unlimited number of preferred shares, par value $0.001, issuable in series. As of March 15, 2007, there were 35,361,544 common shares outstanding and no preferred shares issued and outstanding. The following is only a summary of our share capital and is qualified in its entirety by the description contained in our registration statement on Form 8-A12G/A filed with the SEC on December 21, 2001, including all amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description, which are incorporated herein by reference. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
 
Common Shares
 
Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at meetings of our shareholders, except meetings at which only the holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote and, subject to the prior rights of holders of any preferred shares, to receive any dividends declared by the board of directors and to receive our property upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. All outstanding common shares and preferred shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
 
Preferred Shares
 
The Board of Directors has the authority to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, and to determine prior to any such issuance the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Preferred shares may, at the discretion of the board of directors, be entitled to preference over the common shares and any other shares ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If any cumulative dividends or amounts payable on return of capital are not paid in full, preferred shares of all issued series would participate ratably in accordance with the amounts that would be payable on such shares if all such dividends were declared and paid in full or the sums which would be payable on such shares on the return of capital if all amounts so payable were paid in full, as the case may be.

Transfer Agent and Registrant for our Common Stock
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., 3200 Cherry Creek South, Suite 430, Denver, Colorado 80209, and its telephone number is (303) 282-4800.
 
ENFORCEABIILTY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
All but one of the Company’s directors and all of our executive officers reside outside the United States. In addition, our principal executive office is located in Hong Kong. Outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained against the Company, our director or our officers in actions brought in the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.

The validity of the issuance of the common stock being offered by this prospectus will be passed upon by Schlueter & Associates P.C., Denver, Colorado. Kirkpartick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP, Boston, Massachusetts, has advised us in connection with matters relating to U.S. law.
