PART I
Item 1. Business
We are
engaged in the business of purchasing chemicals produced through the use of
nano-technology by NanoDuck China (our "Products"), using those chemicals to
treat finished garments for companies that manufacture and sell clothing (our
“Services”), and selling those chemicals to fabric mills who wish to produce and
sell fabrics with special performance features. When fabrics are treated with
our products, they become performance fabrics with special attributes: Water and
Oil Repellent (“WOR”), UV Protection (“UV”), or Antibacterial (“AB”). We believe
such products will enhance garment and textile performance and significantly
improve the functionality of the original material without impacting the look or
feel.
We plan
to offer our Products to select target customers for testing and feedback in
order to generate demand and establish a customer base. We also plan
to offer our Services through our contract with NanoDuck to use their facilities
to treat garments. To date, we have not earned any
significant revenues, as we are in the beginning stages of implementing our
business plan.
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology
refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme
is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular level in scales smaller
than 1 micrometer, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices
within that size range. In particular, nanotechnology may involve the
manipulation of materials on the atomic level so that they take on new
characteristics, such as increased strength. Nanotechnology provides
the ability to work on a nano or submicron scale to create intelligent
structures that are superior and have fundamentally different,
performance-enhancing molecular organizations. Working on a
nano-scale allows the building of molecular architectures that can be
specifically designed to create desirable attributes in fabrics.
Nanotechnology
and nanoscience got started in the early 1980s and is a highly multidisciplinary
field, drawing from fields such as applied physics, materials science, colloidal
science, device physics, supramolecular chemistry, and even mechanical and
electrical engineering. Nanotechnology can be seen as an extension of existing
sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of existing sciences using a
newer, more modern term.
One
nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10-9 of a meter. To put that scale into
context the comparative size of a nanometer to a meter is the same as that of a
marble to the size of the earth.
Two main
approaches are used in nanotechnology. In the "bottom-up" approach, materials
and devices are built from molecular components which assemble themselves
chemically by principles of molecular recognition. In the "top-down" approach,
nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without atomic-level
control.
Examples
of nanotechnology in modern use are the manufacture of polymers based on
molecular structure, and the design of computer chip layouts based on surface
science. Despite the great promise of numerous nanotechnologies such as quantum
dots and nanotubes, real commercial applications have mainly used the advantages
of colloidal nanoparticles in bulk form, such as suntan lotion, cosmetics,
protective coatings, and performance fabrics and clothing.

Nanotech
Industry
Both
investment in nanotechnology research and the market for nanotech products are
expanding rapidly. Globally, governments in developed nations are investing
about $4 billion annually into research and development of nanotechnology
projects. The U.S. government alone invests about $1.4 billion yearly, an
increase of more than 10-fold since 1997. The Japanese government is
investing about $1 billion yearly in nanotech research. The European
Nanotechnology Trade Alliance estimates government funding of nanotech research
in the European region at 480 million Euros for 2004. The same organization
counts more than 529 nanotechnology companies in Europe.
The
Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies launched the world's first online inventory
of manufacturer-identified nanotech goods in March 2006, and the nanomaterial of
choice among these products appears to be silver - which manufacturers claim is
in 139 products or nearly 25% of inventory - far outstripping carbon, gold, or
silica. According to Science Daily, an estimated $50 billion worth of
nanotechnology manufactured goods were on the global market in 2006, and the
number of nanotechnology enabled consumer products - from dietary supplements to
skin products to electronic devices - has more than doubled to over 500 products
since then. By 2014, a projected $2.6 trillion in global manufactured goods will
incorporate nanotech, or about 15% of total output. The growing nano-workforce
is predicted to reach 2 million globally by 2015.
Textile
and Garment Industry
The
textile and garment industry is widely viewed as a traditional
industry. However, increased competition is forcing the industry to
restructure and modernize. There is a general recognition that
producing traditional apparel products may no longer be sufficient to sustain a
viable business, and the textile industries may have to move toward more
innovative, high quality products in order to differentiate and
compete. The key areas for increased competitiveness are in
information technology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
According
to the World Trade Organization's ("WTO") statistics, world trade in textiles
and garments was US $169 billion and US $226 billion in 2002 and 2003,
respectively. According to Textile Intelligence, "Global products
will grow by 25% between 2002 and 2010. Most of this growth will take
place in Asia.
A recent
study by McKinsey consultants showed China could account for half of the world's
clothing and textile exports by 2008, up from 21.6% in 2000. In 2004,
China's garment industry produced 11.83 billion clothes, up 15.1%, earned sales
volume of US $46.7 billion, up 20.1%. The industry's exported cloths
earned US $61.86 billion, up 18.8%. China's demand for textile
chemicals has been growing 12.5% over the past decade.

Performance
Apparel Industry
Performance
apparel is one of the fastest growing sectors of the international textile and
clothing industry. Performance apparel, in its current form, is
defined as exhibiting one or more of the following value-added
properties: water and oil repellent, soil release, wrinkle
resistance, anti-bacterial and odor reduction, UV protection, anti-static,
insect repellent, quick dry and cool, and fire retardant. According
to a September 30, 2006 report by Marketresearch.com, the market for performance
apparel is buoyant, and will continue to be so, as fabric technology improves
performance garments. Performance apparel currently accounts for over 10% of the
sportswear market and is forecast to be worth US $4.29 billion by 2012 at
wholesale, compared to the $340 million in 2004. As performance
apparel is sold both to the individual consumer as sportswear at retail prices
and as a business-to-business protective clothing sale at wholesale prices, the
industry is divided into two segments: sportswear and protective
clothing.
The main
areas of sales for smart and interactive textiles are the military, healthcare,
and performance sportswear. Market growth is being fueled by the
emergence of new fibers, advanced fabrics and innovative process
technologies. The market is also expanding due to changes in consumer
lifestyles. People are living longer and spending more time on
leisure activities. New high-tech fabrics and apparel designed for
high performance wear are crossing over the boundary into everyday
fashion. Some of the key methods which are being used and developed
for smart textiles are wearable electronics, nanotechnology, phase change
materials, and shape memory materials.
Our
Products and Services
The
rising demand for economical performance daily wears, and the benefits brought
by nanotechnology have resulted in what we anticipate will be a highly receptive
potential market for our Products and Services. The weaving and
knitting technology are mature and competition is shifting toward using
chemicals to enhance apparel performance. This segment is growing
rapidly and is expected to be the focus of future competition. More
inventions are coming from the laboratory and most of them are derived from
nanotechnology-based chemical treatments. We believe that some of the
performance features will become a standard for garments over
time. This is confirmed by the wide proliferation of permanent press,
wrinkle free, and tumble-dry garments in recent years.
We have
partnered with NanoDuck China, Ltd (“NanoDuck”), a company that has developed
WOR, UV, and AB chemical treatments for fabrics, and mixes and sells those
treatments. Through our Exclusive Distributorship Agreement (“EDA”) with
NanDuck, we are NanoDuck’s exclusive distributor within the entire province of
Guang Dong, China, as well as Hong Kong. According to the terms of the EDA, we
will pay $40,000 on the effective date of the EDA, and an additional $20,000
within eighteen months of the effective date of the EDA. We made the $40,000
payment. We have not yet made the $20,000 payment. Under
the EDA, the payment is due on December 27, 2009. On December 3, 2009, however,
we entered into an amendment to the EDA with NanoDuck to extend the payment of
$20,000 for thirty months from the effective date of the
amendment. This action was taken as a result in the current economic
turndown.
5
The EDA
is effective for thirty months and renewable for an additional thirty months
upon payment of an additional $20,000 to NanoDuck. In return, we are able to
purchase treatment chemicals for WOR, UV, and AB from NanoDuck at wholesale
prices, which we can resell at retail prices or use in providing treatment
services. NanoDuck will also provide wholesale apparel and fabric nano-treatment
services to us as part of our EDA. Should we determine to build or lease a
garment and fabric treatment facility in which to utilize NanoDuck’s chemicals,
NanoDuck will provide equipment, chemicals, and consulting at wholesale prices,
according to the terms of the EDA.
We have
also licensed the formulas from NanoDuck, so that we are able to mix their
proprietary chemical treatments from chemicals purchased through other suppliers
if necessary. We have also independently developed a method to combine these
chemicals to provide treatments that provide the performance characteristics of
multiple treatments. We currently offer the following nano-treatment related
products and services:
Apparel
Nano-Treatment Services: We have the ability to treat finished
garments by utilizing NanoDuck’s China treatment facility on behalf of our
customers. NanoDuck’s China facility has a treatment capacity of 60,000 pieces
of garment per month and is readily expandable by threefold with the addition of
parallel processing equipment. We are also able to partner with mass
production factories to process overflow orders for garments should that become
necessary.
Chemical
Supply: We source treatment chemicals from NanoDuck and either resell
them directly to fabrics manufacturers, or blend them, when required, to create
different compounds under our brand name, to resell to manufacturers for
producing the garments or textiles with the desired properties. Although we
offer treatment services for both fabrics and finished garments, fabric
manufacturers who wish to internally produce performance fabrics for their
customers purchase treatment chemicals from us and incorporate them into their
manufacturing processes. Following is a table of the chemical treatments we
offer, our purchase prices, sales prices, and margin percentages:

Intellectual
Property
We plan
to register our trademark and logo have been registered in China and Hong Kong.
We intend to aggressively assert our rights under trade secret, unfair
competition, trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property,
including product formulas, proprietary manufacturing processes and
technologies, product research and concepts and recognized
trademarks. These rights are protected through the acquisition of
patents and trademark registrations, the maintenance of trade secrets, the
development of trade dress, and, where appropriate, litigation against those who
are, in our opinion, infringing these rights.
While
there can be no assurance that registered trademarks will protect our
proprietary information, we intend to assert our intellectual property rights
against any infringer. Although any assertion of our rights can
result in a substantial cost to, and diversion of effort by, our company,
management believes that the protection of our intellectual property rights is a
key component of our operating strategy.
Regulatory
Matters
We are
subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to
sell our product, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as
business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In
general, the development, manufacture, and sale of our Product are not subject
to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
Environmental
Laws and Health Risks
There is
currently no government oversight and no labeling requirements for nano-products
anywhere in the world. However, there is growing body of scientific
evidence which demonstrates the potential for some nanomaterials to be toxic to
humans or the environment. The smaller a particle, the greater its surface area
to volume ratio and the higher its chemical reactivity and biological
activity.
The
greater chemical reactivity of nanomaterials results in increased production of
reactive oxygen species ("ROS"), including free radicals. ROS production has
been found in a diverse range of nanomaterials including carbon fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes and nanoparticle metal oxides. ROS and free radical production
is one of the primary mechanisms of nanoparticle toxicity; it may result in
oxidative stress, inflammation, and consequent damage to proteins, membranes and
DNA. The extremely small size of nanomaterials also means that they are much
more readily taken up by the human body than larger sized
particles.
Nanomaterials
are able to cross biological membranes and access cells, tissues and organs that
larger-sized particles normally cannot. Nanomaterials can gain access to the
blood stream following inhalation or ingestion. At least some nanomaterials can
penetrate the skin; even larger microparticles may penetrate skin when it is
flexed. Broken skin is an ineffective particle barrier, suggesting that acne,
eczema, shaving wounds or severe sunburn may enable skin uptake of nanomaterials
more readily.
Once in
the blood stream, nanomaterials can be transported around the body and are taken
up by organs and tissues including the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen,
bone marrow and nervous system. Nanomaterials have proved toxic to human tissue
and cell cultures, resulting in increased oxidative stress, inflammatory
cytokine production and cell death. Unlike larger particles, nanomaterials may
be taken up by cell mitochondria and the cell nucleus. Studies demonstrate the
potential for nanomaterials to cause DNA mutation and induce major structural
damage to mitochondria, even resulting in cell death. Size is therefore a key
factor in determining the potential toxicity of a particle. However it is not
the only important factor.
Other
properties of nanomaterials that influence toxicity include: chemical
composition, shape, surface structure, surface charge, aggregation and
solubility, and the presence or absence of functional groups of other chemicals.
The large number of variables influencing toxicity means that it is difficult to
generalize about health risks associated with exposure to nanomaterials – each
new nanomaterial must be assessed individually and all material properties must
be taken into account.
In its
seminal 2004 report Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies: Opportunities and
Uncertainties, the United Kingdom's Royal Society recommended that nanomaterials
be regulated as new chemicals, that research laboratories and factories treat
nanomaterials "as if they were hazardous," that release of nanomaterials into
the environment be avoided as far as possible, and that products containing
nanomaterials be subject to new safety testing requirements prior to their
commercial release. Yet regulations world-wide still fail to distinguish between
materials in their nanoscale and bulk form. This means that
nanomaterials remain effectively unregulated; there is no regulatory requirement
for nanomaterials to face new health and safety testing or environmental impact
assessment prior to their use in commercial products, if these materials have
already been approved in bulk form. The International Council on
Nanotechnology maintains a database and Virtual Journal of scientific papers on
environmental, health and safety research on nanoparticles. The database
currently has over 2000 entries indexed by particle type, exposure pathway and
other criteria. The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies currently
lists 502 products that manufacturers have voluntarily identified that use
nanotechnology. No labeling is required by the FDA so that number could be
significantly higher.
The
health risks of nanomaterials are of particular concern for workers who may face
occupational exposure to nanomaterials at higher levels, and on a more routine
basis, than the general public.
Recently
"a broad international coalition of consumer, public health, environmental,
labor, and civil society organizations spanning six continents called for
strong, comprehensive oversight of the new technology and its products"
according to the International Center for Technology Assessment in its report
Principles for the Oversight of Nanotechnologies and
Nanomaterials. The group has urged action based on eight principles.
They are: 1) A Precautionary Foundation 2) Mandatory Nano-specific Regulations
3) Health and Safety of the Public and Workers 4) Environmental Protection 5)
Transparency 6) Public Participation 7) Inclusion of Broader Impacts and 8)
Manufacturer Liability.
We cannot predict with any certainty our future capital expenditure requirements because of continually changing compliance standards and environmental technology. We do not have insurance coverage for environmental liabilities and do not anticipate obtaining such coverage in the future.

Penny
Stock
The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with
a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require
a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a
description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in
both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the
broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies
available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other
requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative
description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks
and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a
toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in
penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form,
including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or
regulation.
10
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny
stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b)
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for
such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account.
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability
statement.
These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for
our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our
securities.
As of
August 31, 2009, we had 9,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding, held by 31 shareholders of record.
Dividends
There are
no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from
declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do
prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the
distribution of the dividend:
1.
|
we
would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course
of business, or;
|
2.
|
our
total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the
amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the
distribution.
|
We have
not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not
have any equity compensation plans.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates,
projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected
operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based,
are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking
statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,”
“will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar
expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the
safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for
purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to
risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which
could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a
consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic
conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest
rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks
and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that
could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our
other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We are
engaged in the business of purchasing chemicals produced through the use of
nano-technology by NanoDuck China (our "Products"), using those chemicals to
treat finished garments for companies that manufacture and sell clothing (our
“Services”), and selling those chemicals to fabric mills who wish to produce and
sell fabrics with special performance features. When fabrics are treated with
our Products, they become performance fabrics with special attributes: Water and
Oil Repellent (“WOR”), UV Protection (“UV”), or Antibacterial (“AB”). We believe
such products will enhance garment and textile performance and significantly
improve the functionality of the original material without impacting the look or
feel.
12
The
rising demand for economical performance daily wears, and the benefits brought
by nanotechnology have resulted in what we anticipate will be a highly receptive
potential market for our Products and Services. We have partnered with NanoDuck
China, Ltd (“NanoDuck”), a company that has developed WOR, UV, and AB chemical
treatments for fabrics, and mixes and sells those treatments. Through our
Exclusive Distributorship Agreement (“EDA”) with NanDuck, we are NanoDuck’s
exclusive distributor within the entire province of Guang Dong, China, as well
as Hong Kong. According to the terms of the EDA, we will pay $40,000 on the
effective date of the EDA, and an additional $20,000 within eighteen months of
the effective date of the EDA. We made the $40,000 payment. The EDA
is effective for thirty months and renewable for an additional thirty months
upon payment of an additional $20,000 to NanoDuck. In return, we are able to
purchase treatment chemicals for WOR, UV, and AB from NanoDuck at wholesale
prices, which we can resell at retail prices or use in providing treatment
services. NanoDuck will also provide wholesale apparel and fabric nano-treatment
services to us as part of our EDA. Should we determine to build or lease a
garment and fabric treatment facility in which to utilize NanoDuck’s chemicals,
NanoDuck will provide equipment, chemicals, and consulting at wholesale prices,
according to the terms of the EDA.
We have
also licensed the formulas from NanoDuck, so that we are able to mix their
proprietary chemical treatments from chemicals purchased through other suppliers
if necessary. We have also independently developed a method to combine these
chemicals to provide treatments that provide the performance characteristics of
multiple treatments.
We plan
to offer our Products to select target customers for testing and feedback in
order to generate demand and establish a customer base. We also plan
to offer our Services through our contract with NanoDuck to use their facilities
to treat garments. To date, we have not earned any significant
revenues, as we are in the beginning stages of implementing our business
plan.
Purchases
We plan
to continue to develop our relationship with NanoDuck, purchase chemicals,
chemical treatments, and equipment, and obtain consulting services from the
company. We also intend to develop relationships with other chemical suppliers,
so that we may use the chemical mixing procedures that we have licensed from
NanoDuck to create larger volumes of chemical treatments, should our sales
exceed levels that NanoDuck can supply.
We are
required to pay $20,000 to NanoDuck within 18 months of the effective date of
the EDA, which is December 27, 2009. We have not yet made the $20,000
payment. On December 3, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the EDA
with NanoDuck to extend the payment of $20,000 for thirty months from the
effective date of the amendment. This action was taken as a result in
the current economic turndown.
Pursuant
to our contract with NanoDuck, we are entitled to technical and service support
from NanoAsia for applications of the Product and the specifications of the
treatment process. Upon conclusion of our Product testing, our
contract allows us to purchase the Product from NanoDuck at wholesale
prices.
13
Product
Testing
We
currently plan to provide our Products free of charge to a few select garment
manufacturers for commercial testing and feedback. These target
customers include: HK Camper Tent Mfg Co., Ltd., a tent manufacturer based in
Guang Dong Province, China; Whole March Garment Ltd., a clothing manufacturer
based in Hong Kong; and DongGuan ZhongTong ZhongXing Dyeing and Washing Factory,
a jean fabric manufacturer based in Guang Dong Provice, China. The
purpose of this testing is to: expose our Products to potential customers in the
industry; allow those customers to sample our Products’ performance
characteristics; cultivate demand for our Products to the end users; and provide
us with valuable feedback on how to adapt our Products to better meet the needs
of our potential manufacturing customers.
We hope that our customers are able to manufacture nanotechnology performance garments and fabrics to the marketplace without the burden of managing technical expertise, costs, time, and risks normally associated with the development of technologically sophisticated products. We plan to work closely with our potential manufacturing customers to train them on the correct application and use of our Products, or allow these customers access to our garment treatment Services (explained below). This process should enhance our communication with potential customers and improve the quality of instructions to use our Products.
We
believe the costs on our testing and feedback program will be minimal. We do not
pay our potential customers under our testing and feedback program, nor expect
to spend funds for Product costs in the next few months for use in our testing
and feedback program with potential customers. NanoDuck has agreed to provide
samples of the Product to our potential customers under the
program. Our officers and directors will provide the oversight and
work directly with potential customers. Because our funds are limited, our
officers and directors are not paid for their services to our
company. In the future, if we are able to establish enough customers
to sustain revenues, we plan to devote funds to hire sales representations to
preside over specific locations.
To date,
we have received little feedback from our potential customers. Given
the poor economic environment, our potential customers have less time and
resources at present to absorb our proposed business proposition. We
have managed to offer small samples of our Products, however, on testing
treatments for HK Camper Tent Mfg Co., Ltd. on their tents fabrics. In late
January 2009, we received favorable feedback on the use of our Product with
their tent fabrics. This is our first step and hopefully we will gain
momentum with our other targeted manufacturing customers in the near
future.
Garment
Treatment Services
We
currently have an operations facility in Guang Dong, China, a strategic location
that provides us with access to much of the textile industry in China. We are
capable of offering nano-treatment services for finished garments, through
sub-contract with NanoDuck, which has annual monthly treatment capacity of
60,000 garments. NanoDuck has the ability to triple its production by installing
parallel treatment lines, should the demand for our treatment services increase
to this level. We anticipate that NanoDuck will increase the treatment capacity
of this facility by adding parallel lines one at a time over as demand
dictates.
14
We have
not received any requests for our services to date. Because we operate through
NanoDuck’s facilities, we will not require significant cash to fulfill our
Services to potential customers. NanoDuck will bill us for the
Treatment services and we plan to pass that cost on to our
customers.
Sales
and Distribution Strategy
Our goal
is for our performance fabrics and clothing applications and treatments to
become a leading product in the global marketplace. In order to
achieve our goal, we intend to increase awareness of our product with potential
customers.
We
believe we are in a unique position and possess the critical elements to
implement and operate a successful nano-enabling business in the garment
industry. We have focused our sales efforts thus far on fabric
manufacturers to whom we plan to sell treatment chemicals, and garment
manufacturers and retailers to whom we plan to sell our garment treatment
services. We intend to increase our sales efforts in these areas, utilizing the
network of contacts of our executive officers and directors as well as hiring
full-time sales people in the next twelve months.
We intend
to employ a direct sales approach supported by account management techniques for
major accounts and international labels. We expect that these
customers will provide a recurring and volume business for us, but also require
professional management throughout sourcing and delivery cycles. In
addition, we will continue to expand our network of indirect sales and channel
partners motivated by incentive programs, mutually beneficial relations, and
cross referral benefits.
Our
current marketing program contains a variety of initiatives as a continual
effort to promote awareness, our leadership position, and to generate sales
leads. We plan to continue to promote our corporate brand identity to
advocate our leadership position and product quality.
We plan
to have booth-level presence in at least one major garment/fashion trade show
each year and participate in others by co-marketing with partners. We
will continue to issue press releases for product launches and
news. We will conduct continual content renewal on our English and
Chinese web sites, and will post industrial and white paper publications on
these web sites.
Our
partnerships with retailers and merchandise sourcing will continue to magnify
our garment treatment sales, broaden our sales channels, increase brand image
through tags and labels on garments, and expand our chemical sales to
manufacturers producing for the retailer.
Significant
Equipment
We do not
anticipate purchasing any significant equipment in the next twelve
months.

Results
of Operations for the Year Ended August 31, 2009, and Period from September 19,
2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009
We
generated revenues of $360 for the period from September 19, 2007
(Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009.
We
incurred operating expenses in the amount of $37,978 for the year ended August
31, 2009. Professional Fees accounted for $34,149, Office and Miscellaneous
expenses accounted for $3,829 and Licensing Agreement fees accounted for $0 for
the year ended August 31, 2009.
We
incurred more operating expenses in the amount of $90,802 for the period from
September 19, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009. Professional Fees
accounted for $46,676, Office and Miscellaneous expenses accounted for $4,126
and Licensing Agreement fees accounted for $40,000 for the period from September
19, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009.
Due to
our expenses listed above and our lack of revenue, we incurred a net loss in the
amount of $37,618 for the year ended August 31, 2009. We incurred a net loss of
$90,442 for the period from September 19, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31,
2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
August 31, 2009, we had total current assets of $2,096. Our total current
liabilities as of August 31, 2009 were $19,538. We had a working capital deficit
of $17,442 as of August 31, 2009.
Operating
activities used $70,904 in cash for the period from September 19, 2007
(Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009. Our net loss of $90,442 was the primary
component of our negative operating cash flow, offset by an increase in accrued
expenses in the amount of $19,538. Cash flows provided by financing activities
during the period from September 19, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009
was $73,000 and consisted of $9,000 as proceeds from the issuance of common
stock and $64,000 as proceeds from shareholder advances. The advances from
shareholder are non-interest bearing, and are due 12 months after receipt of
written demand for payment.
As of
August 31, 2009, we seem have insufficient cash to operate our business at the
current level for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we anticipate that we
must raise additional capital to achieve our business goals and to continue
operations. We believe that $50,000 will be sufficient to help us implement our
business plan. We will need to pay NanoDuck an additional $20,000
under the terms of the EDA, plus we will need roughly $30,000 to cover
administrative costs for the next twelve months. The bulk of funds
will be used for legal and accounting fees associated with our reporting
obligations as a public company.
Although
our principals have no legal obligation to infuse additional capital, it is
anticipated that our principals will do so as reasonably necessary by providing
short-term demand loans carrying a market interest rate. We may also have to
raise additional capital in the form of private equity securities to meet our
financial requirements over the next twelve months. In the event we are not able
to obtain financing within the next twelve months, our operations will be
limited.
16
Going
Concern
We have
negative working capital, recurring losses and have a deficit accumulated during
the development stage of $90,442 as of August 31, 2009. Our financial
statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However,
we have no current source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital,
it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our management plans
on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed
basis and in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition and development of
our business venture. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable
operations through the development of our business.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
August 31, 2009, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with
Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
No events
occurred requiring disclosure under Item 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K during
the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
17
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of August 31, 2009. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
our financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the
Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our
financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal
control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on our financial statements.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief
executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation
under the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, our
management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of August 31, 2009.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
During
the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Set forth
below is a brief description of the background and business experience of
executive officers and directors.
Ryan Chi Wing So is our sole
executive officer and director. He graduated from University of Victoria 1992
with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science. From 1997 through 2003,
Ryan Chi Wing So worked as a customer service supervisor with Ringier Print
Limited in Hong Kong, where he was responsible for developing business
relationships and overseeing the company’s customer service coordinators. Since
2004, he has worked as the Prepress Supervisor for Ringier Print Limited,
interacting with printing plate and chemical suppliers, overseeing the daily
operations of the pre-press department, and investigating new technology for
company development.
Sien Ting Cindy Tsang is our
Secretary. From 1997 to the present, Ms. Tsang has been an assistant
at the Chiropractic Wellness Center in Hong Kong
Term
of Office
Our
Directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual
general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance
with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors
and hold office until removed by the board.
Family
Relationships
There are
no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or
persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive
officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the
best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the
following occurred with respect to a
present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such
person was a general partner or executive officer either
at the time of the bankruptcy or within two
years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a
criminal proceeding or being subject to a
pending criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations and
other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order,
judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended
or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her
involvement in any type of business, securities or banking
activities; and (4) being found
by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the SEC or the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated
a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been
reversed, suspended or vacated.
19
Committees
of the Board
Our
company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or
committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written
nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that
it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions
of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of
directors.
Our
company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for
shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board
of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific
nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business
operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have
any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of
directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating
such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether
submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election
or appointment.
A
shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by
directing a written request addressed to our President and director, Tee Kai
Shen, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual
report.
Code
of Ethics
August
31, 2009, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which
would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the
Board of Directors of
NanoAsia
Ltd.
Reno,
Nevada
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of NanoAsia Ltd. (the
“Company”) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the periods then ended and
for the period from September 19, 2007 (Date of Inception) through August 31,
2009. These 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 included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial position of NanoAsia Ltd. as of
August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the periods then ended and for the period from September 19, 2007 (Date of
Inception) through August 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of
significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for
additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2010 raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2009
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST
31, 2009
NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
Business
Nanoasia
Ltd. (“Nanoasia” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 19,
2007. Nanoasia is a Development stage company and has not yet
realized any revenues from its planned operations. Nanoasia has
entered into an exclusive distributorship agreement with Nanoduck Limited to
distribute its line of clothing enhancement chemicals in the province of Guang
Dong, China and Hong Kong.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Basic Loss Per
Share
Basic
loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Comprehensive
Income
The
Company has established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. When applicable, the
Company would disclose this information on its Statement of Stockholders’
Deficit. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting
from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has not had
any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other
comprehensive income.
Income
Tax
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used
for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No
net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the
accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid
previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating
loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be
realized.
Revenue
Recognition
The
company recognizes revenues when products are fully delivered or services have
been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST
31, 2009
NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Nanoasia
does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to
have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flow.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
Nanoasia
has recurring losses and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage
of $90,442 as of August 31, 2009. Nanoasia's financial statements are
prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Nanoasia has
no current source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it
would be unlikely for Nanoasia to continue as a going
concern. Nanoasia's management plans on raising cash from public or
private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term,
revenues from the acquisition, Development and development of mineral interests,
if found. Nanoasia's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving
profitable operations through the development of mineral interests.
NOTE
3 – LICENSE AGREEMENT
In March
2008, Nanoasia entered into an exclusive distributorship agreement with Nanoduck
Limited to acquire the exclusive distribution rights to Nanoduck’s product line
of clothing enhancement chemicals in the province of Guang Dong, China and Hong
Kong. In consideration, Nanoasia paid to Nanoduck Limited, cash of $
40,000 on the effective date of the distributorship agreement, and will be
responsible to pay an additional $ 20,000 with 18 months of the effective date
of the agreement. The agreement shall remain in force for a thirty month period
from the effective date; however, at the sole discretion of Nanoduck Limited,
the agreement can be extended for an additional 30 month period upon payment by
Nanoasia of an additional $ 20,000.
NOTE
4 – ADVANCES FROM SHAREHOLDERS
The
advances from shareholders are non-interest bearing, and are due 12 months after
receipt of written demand for payment. During the year ended August
31, 2009, an additional $26,000 was loaned to the Company by a
shareholder. The total due to shareholders as of August 31, 2009 is
$64,000.
