GeoTeam® Note:

Let's see how successful some of the RTOs associated with these shells have performed:

Six of the referenced shells completed reverse mergers with Chinese firms

Three of them have credibility issues:

  • Basic Empire Corporation was the shell that allegedly fraudulent company, China Agritech (NASDAQ:CAGC), merged into.
  • United National Film Corporation was the shell that Wuhan General Group (NASDAQ:WUHN) merged into. Please see our recent investor alert revealing that the company is in violation of debt covenants.
  • Jade Mountain Corporation was the shell that allegedly fraudulent company, Rino Intl (PINK:RINO), merged into.

As for the other 3...

  • Boulder Acquisitions, Inc. was the shell that China Recycling Energy (NASDAQ:CREG) merged into.
  • Parallel Technologies, Inc. was the shell that Fushi Copperweld (NASDAQ:FSIN) merged into.
  • Las Vegas Resorts Corp. was the shell that Winner Medical Group (NASDAQ:WWIN) merged into.

...It remains to be seen.

Liquidity Requirements
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by short-term bank borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders. Cash flow from operation and short-term bank loans are likely to continue to be our key sources of financing for the foreseeable future, although in the future we may raise additional capital by issuing shares of our capital stock in an equity financing. We expect to renew our short term loans when they become due.
