STATEMENT
FOR

Meeting will be held at our executive offices at No. 2158, North Xiang An Road,
Song Bei District, Harbin, People’s Republic of China 150028. Unless otherwise

At the

|

and
|
|

WHO
CAN VOTE?
Only
holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on September 1,
2010, the record date, will receive notice of, and be entitled to vote at, our
Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date,
16,790,851 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, were outstanding
and entitled to vote. Our common stock is our only class of
outstanding voting securities.
Stockholder of
Record: Shares Registered in Your
Name
If, on
September 1, 2010, your shares were registered directly in your name with our
transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., then you are a stockholder of
record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting
or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge
you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is
counted. By returning a properly signed and dated proxy card, you are
authorizing the individuals listed on the proxy card to vote your shares in
accordance with your instructions.
Beneficial Owner:
Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or
Agent
If, on
September 1, 2010, the record date, your shares were held, not in your name, but
rather in an account at a bank, brokerage firm, or other agent or nominee, then
you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy
materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization
holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of
voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to
direct your bank, broker or other agent or nominee on how to vote the shares in
your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since
you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at
the meeting unless you request and obtain a power of attorney or other proxy
authority from your bank, broker or other agent or nominee, and bring it to our
Annual Meeting.
WHAT
CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?
A quorum
of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or
by proxy, of the holders of at least 33-1/3% of the outstanding shares of common
stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were
16,790,851 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, at
least 5,596,950 shares must be represented by stockholders present at the
meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.
Your
shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or
one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you
vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
towards the quorum requirement.
WHAT
ARE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK?
In
deciding all matters, a holder of common stock on the record date will be
entitled to cast one vote for each share of common stock registered in that
holder’s name, on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual
Meeting.
HOW
ARE VOTES COUNTED AND HOW ARE BROKER NON-VOTES TREATED?
Votes
will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting
who will separately count “For” votes, “Against” votes, abstentions, withheld
votes and broker non-votes.
Votes
withheld and abstentions are deemed as “present” at the Annual Meeting and are
counted for quorum purposes.
A “broker
non-vote” is when a broker votes in its discretion on one or more “routine”
matters, but does not receive instructions from a beneficial owner of shares as
to how to vote those shares on “non-routine” matters. The Company
does not expect to receive any broker non-votes because the uncontested election
of directors, which is considered a “non-routine” matter, is the only matter to
be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will
also not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is
present.
If your
shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you
will need to obtain a proxy card from the institution that holds your shares and
follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to vote your shares.
If your broker does not receive instructions as to how to vote your shares on a
proposal and does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal under
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, then your shares will not be deemed
present at the meeting for quorum purposes, and will not be deemed to have voted
on the proposal; accordingly, these shares will have no effect on the outcome of
any given proposal on which they are deemed not voted.
WHAT
VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL?
Proposal
No. 1, the election of seven directors, requires a plurality of the votes cast
to elect a director. The seven nominees receiving the most “For” votes (among
votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. Only votes “For”
will affect the outcome. Withheld votes or broker non-votes, will not affect the
outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 1.
WHO
CONDUCTS THE PROXY SOLICITATION AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We are soliciting the proxies and will
bear the entire costs of this solicitation, including the preparation, assembly,
printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and any additional materials
furnished to our stockholders. Copies of solicitation material will be furnished
to banks, brokerage houses and other agents holding shares in their names that
are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation
material to these beneficial owners. In addition, if asked, we will reimburse
these persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding the solicitation
material to the beneficial owners. We have requested banks, brokerage houses and
other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials
to the beneficial owners of the shares they hold of record. The original
solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, fax, Internet
and personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other employees.
Directors, officers and employees will not be paid any additional compensation
for soliciting proxies.
HOW
DO I VOTE IF I ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?
If you
are a stockholder of record, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in
person the shares you hold directly in your name on any matters properly brought
before the Annual Meeting. If you choose to do that, please bring the enclosed
proxy card or proof of identification. If you want to vote in person at our
Annual Meeting and you hold our common stock through a bank, broker or other
agent or nominee (that is, in “street name”), you must obtain a power of
attorney or other proxy authority from that organization and bring it to our
Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other agent or
nominee included with these proxy materials, or contact your bank, broker or
other agent or nominee to request a power of attorney or other proxy authority.
If you vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will revoke any prior proxy you
may have submitted.
HOW DO I VOTE IF I DO NOT ATTEND THE
ANNUAL MEETING?
Stockholders
of record who do not attend the Annual Meeting may vote by mail. To
vote, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed
postage-paid return envelope.
By
casting your vote by proxy, you are authorizing the individuals listed on the
proxy card to vote your shares in accordance with your
instructions. While we are not presently aware of any matters (other
than procedural matters), which will be brought before the Annual Meeting and
which are not reflected in the attached notice of the Annual Meeting, if any
other matter is properly presented at the meeting, the individuals named on your
proxy card will vote your shares using their discretion.
If you
are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your bank, broker or
other agent or nominee, you should have received a proxy card and voting
instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from
us. Simply complete and mail the Proxy Card to ensure that your vote is counted.
If you did not receive a proxy card, please follow the instructions from your
bank, broker or other agent or nominee included with these proxy materials, or
contact your bank, broker or other agent or nominee to request a Proxy
Card.
WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY
SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED ON THE PROXY CARD?
If you return a signed and dated proxy
card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted FOR the election of the seven
(7) nominees for election as directors proposed by the Board of
Directors.
While we
are not presently aware of any additional matters, other than procedural
matters, which will be brought before the Annual Meeting and which are not
reflected in the attached notice of the Annual Meeting, if any other matter is
properly presented at the meeting, the individuals named on your proxy card will
vote your shares using their discretion.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE
THAN ONE PROXY CARD?
If you
receive more than one proxy card from us or your bank, this usually means that
your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different
accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of
your shares are voted.
HAS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MADE A
RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE ANNUAL
MEETING?
Yes. Our Board of Directors
recommends that you cast your vote FOR the election of the seven
(7) nominees for election as directors proposed by the Board of
Directors.
Yes. You
may revoke your proxy by doing any of the following:
(1) You
may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate
Secretary at the address indicated below prior to the Annual
Meeting.
(2) You
may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date, so long as
it is received by our Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual
Meeting.
(3) You
may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting
will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
Any written notice of revocation, or
later dated proxy, should be delivered to:
China Sky
One Medical, Inc.
No. 2158,
North Xiang An Road, Song Bei District,
Harbin,
People’s Republic of China 150028
Attention:
Corporate Secretary
If your
shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow
the instructions provided by your broker or bank.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT THE RESULTS OF THE
VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
Preliminary
voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results
will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) business days
after the final voting results are known.
PROPOSAL
1
ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
General
Our
Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of
not less than three and not more than nine directors as determined by the Board
of Directors. The size of our Board of Directors is currently set at
seven (7) directors and there are seven (7) nominees for election as directors
at our Annual Meeting. Each nominee will be elected for a term of one
year and until his successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s
earlier resignation or removal. Our Board’s nominees are Liu Yan-qing, Han
Xiao-yan, Hao Yu-bo, Song Chun-fang, Qian Xu-feng, Zhao Jie and William Wei Lee,
all of whom are currently serving as directors. Our Nominating and Governance
Committee considered the qualifications of each of the nominees for election at
the Annual Meeting and unanimously recommended that each nominee be submitted
for re-election to the Board.
Directors
are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast in person or by proxy. If
a quorum is present and voting, the seven (7) nominees receiving the highest
number of affirmative votes will be elected. Our Articles of Incorporation do
not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.
Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is
not withheld, for the election of the seven (7) nominees named below.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the
election of directors.
If any
nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected
occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee
determined by our Board. Each of the nominees has consented to being
named in this proxy statement and has agreed to serve if elected. We have no
reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.
The
following table sets forth the name and age of each our nominees, the nominee’s
position with us and the year in which the nominee was first elected to the

RECOMMENDATION
THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE
BOARD’S SEVEN NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR IDENTIFIED ABOVE IN PROPOSAL NO. 1.
CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Board
Independence
Our Board
is composed of seven (7) directors. As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market,
or Nasdaq listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s
board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by
the listed company. Our Board consults with our counsel with respect to the
Board’s applications of relevant securities and other laws and regulations
regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in
pertinent listing standards of the Nasdaq, as in effect from time to
time.
Under
applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent
director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a
relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has
determined that none of Song Chun-fang, William Wei Lee, Zhao Jie and Qian
Xu-feng has a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and
that each of these directors is an “independent director,” as defined under Rule
5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules.
Board
and Committee Meetings and Attendance
The Board
of Directors has five standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation
Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Executive Committee and Finance
Committee. Each of these committees, other than the Executive
Committee, operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Copies of
these charters are available at the Company’s website at
www.cski.com.cn. Copies of these charters are also available in print
to stockholders upon request, addressed to our Corporate Secretary, at No. 2158,
North Xiang An Road, Song Bei District, Harbin, People’s Republic of China
150028.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our Board of Directors, Audit
Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee,
Executive Committee and Finance Committee did not hold any
meetings. However, all actions of the Board of Directors and its
committees were authorized by written consent pursuant to Nevada
law. The Board of Directors and its committees intend to hold
meetings in the future.
Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for the annual
engagement of a firm of independent accountants and reviews with the independent
accountants the scope and results of audits, our internal accounting controls
and audit practices and professional services rendered to us by our independent
accountants. The Audit Committee also reviews and discusses with management and
the board of directors, such matters as accounting policies, internal accounting
controls and procedures for preparation of financial statements. The Audit
Committee is required at all times to be composed exclusively of directors who,
in the opinion of our board of directors, are free from any relationship that
would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member
and who posses an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted
accounting principles. The Audit Committee is comprised of solely independent
directors, Messrs. William Wei Lee and Zhao Jie and Ms. Qian Xu-feng. Management
believes, in good faith, that each of these members are considered “independent”
under applicable Nasdaq rules, and that William Wei Lee qualifies as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation
S-K.
Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for (a)
reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors on matters relating to
employee compensation and benefit plans, and (b) determining the compensation of
the Chief Executive Officer and making recommendations to the Board with respect
to the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, other than the
Chief Executive Officer, and independent directors. In making a determination,
the Compensation Committee and the Board give material consideration to China
Sky’s results of operations, financial condition and competitive
factors. The compensation may include grants of options under our
stock option plan to the named executive officers. Executive officers may
recommend the amount or form of compensation for consideration by the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may delegate authority to one
or more subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members. The
Compensation Committee may also retain consultants to assist in the evaluation
of directors’, the Chief Executive Officer’s or the executive officers’
compensation, however the Compensation Committee has not hired such
consultants. The Compensation Committee is comprised
of independent directors, Messrs. William Wei Lee and Song Chun-fang
and Ms. Qian Xu-feng.
Nominating and
Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee
assists the Board of Directors in identifying qualified individuals to become
board members, in determining the composition of the Board of Directors and in
monitoring the process to assess Board effectiveness. The Nominating
and Governance Committee also selects director nominees for election at each
annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Governance
Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors Zhao Jie,
Qian Xu-feng and Song Chun-fang.
Executive
Committee. The Executive Committee may exercise all the powers
and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the
Company, including, without limitation, the power to authorize or take actions
relating to the issuance of securities of the Company, with certain
exceptions. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is
comprised solely of independent directors. Song Chun-fang, Zhao Jie and William
Wei Lee serve as members of the Executive Committee.
Finance
Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the financial
planning process, the financial structure and the investment outlook of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Qian Xu-feng, William Wei Lee and Song Chun-fang,
independent directors, serve as members of the Finance
Committee.
Board
Leadership Structure
The Board
of Directors has no policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices
of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and instead the Board of
Directors remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner
that seems most appropriate for the Company. Currently, the Company combines the
positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors as
it believes that the Chief Executive Officer is in the best position to fulfill
the Chair’s responsibilities, including those related to identifying emerging
issues facing the Company, communicating essential information to the Board of
Directors about the Company’s performance and strategies, and preparing agendas
for the Board of Directors.
Currently,
the Company has not designated a lead independent director and executive
sessions of the Board of Directors are led by the Chairperson of the Board
Committee having authority over the subject matter discussed at the executive
session, as appropriate. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate
based on the Company’s size and characteristics and its commitment to a strong,
independent Board of Directors, exemplified by four out of seven of its
directors qualifying as an independent director.
Risk
Management
The Board
of Directors is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that
could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted
primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, as disclosed in the
descriptions of each of the committees above and in the charters of the Audit
Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, but the full Board of
Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The
Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risk management
function, specifically with respect to management’s assessment of risk exposures
(including risks related to liquidity, credit, operations and regulatory
compliance, among others), and the processes in place to monitor and control
such exposures. The other committees of the Board of Directors consider the
risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board of Directors
satisfies their oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee
chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through
regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular
risks within the Company. The Board believes that the combination of the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles facilitates the exercise by the Board
of Directors of their key risk oversight responsibility by focusing on clear
lines of communication between management and the Board of Directors and its
committees. See the discussion of “Board Leadership Structure”
above.
Code
of Ethics
We have
adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal chief executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
persons performing similar functions, as well as other employees (the “Code of
Ethics”). A copy of the Code of Ethics is appended as an exhibit to our
Amended Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006. The Code of Ethics was designed with the intent to deter
wrongdoing, and to promote the following:
|
·
|
Honest
and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent
conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships,
|

·
|

documents that a small business issuer files with, or submits to, the
Commission and in other public communications made by the small business

regulations,

Stockholder
Communications with Directors
As the
Board has not yet formally determined the most effective way for its
international stockholder base to communicate with the Board, the Board has not
yet established a process to receive communications from stockholders. It is
anticipated that the Board will implement a process in the near future and that
the process will provide that stockholders will be able to communicate with the
Board of Directors or individual members of the Board, including the respective
Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating
and Governance Committee, by sending correspondence addressed to the Board or
any such individual director or group or committee of directors by either name
or title to the following address:
Corporate
Secretary
China Sky
One Medical, Inc.
No. 2158,
North Xiang An Road, Song Bei District
Harbin,
People’s Republic of China 150028
It is
further anticipated that the process will provide that all communications
received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the office of
our Corporate Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents
represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of
advertising, promotions of a product or service, or patently offensive material
will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. In the case of communications to
the Board or any group or committee of directors, the Corporate Secretary’s
office will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each director who
is a member of the group or committee to which the envelope is
addressed. While the Company currently anticipates that the process
to be adopted will be as described above, the process ultimately adopted may not
be as outlined above.

No. 2158,

People’s Republic of China 150028
All
stockholder recommendations of potential director nominees which are intended to
be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in any year must be
received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 120 calendar days prior
to the anniversary of the date on which our Proxy Statement was released to our
stockholders in connection with our most recent annual meeting of stockholders.
This allows, upon a determination by the Nominating and Governance Committee to
act upon such recommendation and nominate such potential director nominee, for
such nominee to be included in our proxy statement and the form of proxy
relating to the annual meeting of stockholders. The deadline for
submitting to the Nominating and Governance Committee recommendations of
potential director nominees for the 2011 Meeting is May 19,
2011.
The
Nominating and Governance Committee will review and evaluate the qualifications
of any director candidates who have been recommended by our stockholders in
compliance with the procedures established by the Nominating and Governance
Committee and conduct inquiries the Committee deems appropriate. The
procedures are summarized above and described in greater detail in the
Nominating and Governance Committee Charter. The Committee will
consider for nomination any nominee proposed in accordance with the established
procedures if the nominee is deemed qualified by the Committee in light of the
minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board membership approved by the
Board from time to time.
Qualifications
for Potential Director Nominees
At a
minimum, before nominating a proposed candidate for election as a director, the
Committee must be satisfied that each Committee-recommended nominee has the
highest personal and professional integrity, demonstrated exceptional ability
and judgment, and is most effective, in conjunction with other nominees to the
Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of our
stockholders. In addition to the minimum qualifications, the
Committee will select for nomination persons that help ensure that:
|
·
|
A
majority of our Board is
independent.
|
|
·
|
Our
Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees are comprised
entirely of independent directors.
|
|
·
|
At
least one member of our Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined by relevant
rules.
|
In
addition, the Committee may consider other factors, such as whether the proposed
nominee has any direct experience in the specific markets in which we operate
and whether, if elected, the proposed nominee would assist us in achieving a mix
of Board members that represents a diversity of background and experience,
together with such other standards the Committee may deem appropriate from time
to time and all other facts and circumstances the Committee deems appropriate or
advisable.
Board
Diversity Policy
The
Nominating and Governance Committee Charter does not contain a diversity
factor. However, we seek
diversity in experience, viewpoint, education, skill, and other individual
qualities and attributes to be represented on our Board of
Directors. We believe directors should have various qualifications,
including individual character and integrity; business experience and leadership
ability; strategic planning skills, ability, and experience; requisite knowledge
of our industry and finance, accounting, and legal matters; communications and
interpersonal skills; and the ability and willingness to devote time to our
company. We also believe the skill sets, backgrounds, and
qualifications of our directors, taken as a whole, should provide a significant
mix of diversity in personal and professional experience, background,
viewpoints, perspectives, knowledge, and abilities. Nominees are not
to be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation, disability, or any other basis prescribed by
law. The assessment of directors is made in the context of the
perceived needs of our Board of Directors from time to time.
Director
Qualifications, Experience and Skills
All of
our directors bring to our Board a wealth of executive leadership experience
derived from their services as senior executives in the medical industry or
knowledge specific consulting firms or operational businesses. Each
of our Board members has demonstrated strong business acumen and an ability to
exercise sound judgment and has a reputation for integrity, honesty and
adherence to ethical standards. When considering whether directors
and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken
as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities
effectively in light of our business and structure, the Nominating and
Governance Committee and the Board focused primarily on the information
discussed in each of the director’s individual biographies set forth above and
the specific individual qualifications, experience and skills as described
below:

OUR
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit
Committee of our Board has selected MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and
Advisors LLP (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to
audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2010. Murrell, Hall, McIntosh & Co., PLLP served as the
principal accountant to audit our financial statements through December 18,
2007, when they were replaced by the firm of Sherb & Co.,
LLP. Effective as of May 21, 2008, we dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged the firm of
MSPC. MSPC has audited our consolidated financial statements since the fiscal
period ended December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee approved the decision
to change accountants and the accountants’ report on financial statements
did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty audit scope, or accounting
principles. A representative of MSPC is not expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting.
The
former accountants’ reports on financial statements neither contained an adverse
statement, nor were they qualified. There were no disagreements with
the former accountants during the past 2 years which were not resolved to the
accountants’ satisfaction.
AUDIT
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of three independent directors,
in accordance with the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market
and the applicable standards of the SEC, and operates under a written charter
adopted by the Board of Directors. The charter is available on the
Company’s website at www.cski.com.cn. Copies of the charter can be
obtained free of charge by contacting us at the address appearing on the first
page of this proxy statement to the attention of our Secretary.
All of
the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements. In addition, Mr. William Wei Lee has past employment
experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in
accounting, or other comparable experience or background which results in his
financial sophistication, and is an “audit committee financial expert” within
the meaning of applicable SEC rules.
The Audit
Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity
of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, and (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our
independent auditors. The Audit Committee also prepares this report
as required by the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee members are
not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended
to duplicate or to certify the activities of management or the independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee provides advice, counsel
and direction to management and the independent registered public accounting
firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management
and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the experience of the
Audit Committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters. The
Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information
provided by the Company and on the representations made by management that the
financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity, on the
representations of management, and the opinion of the independent registered
public accounting firm that such financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
or GAAP.
The Audit
Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with our
management. The Audit Committee also discussed with MSPC, Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors LLP, our independent auditors, the matters required to
be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communication with Audit
Committees,” as may be modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee has
received the written disclosures and the letter from MSPC, Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors LLP required by the applicable requirements of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s
communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has
discussed with MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and Advisors LLP its
independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of
certain permitted non-audit services by MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and
Advisors LLP is compatible with their independence.
Based
upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee
recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2009 for filing with the SEC.
The
information contained in this Audit Committee report shall not be deemed
“soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information
be incorporated by reference into any document previously or subsequently filed
with the SEC that incorporates by reference all or any portion of this proxy
statement, except to the extent that we specifically incorporates it by
reference into such filing.

Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Objectives
of our executive compensation program
We
provide a compensation package for our executive officers we refer to as our
“named executive officers” that we believe is designed to fairly compensate them
and to enhance shareholder value. We have disclosed the
compensation packages for our named executive officers in the summary
compensation table and related tables below. We have structured our
compensation packages to motivate our named officers to achieve our business
objectives and to align their interests with the interests of our
shareholders.
Specifically,
our compensation program is designed to achieve the following
objectives:
|
·
|
Attract
and retain excellent executives who are appropriate for the Company’s
needs;
|
|
·
|
Motivate
and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical
to the Company’s success;
|
|
·
|
Motivate
the executives to increase shareholder value for both the Company and its
subsidiary operations through the use of
options;
|
|
·
|
Tie
compensation to corporate and individual performance;
and
|
|
·
|
Align
the interests of our executives with those of our
shareholders.
|
Elements
of Compensation
Base Salary. All of
our full time executives are paid a base salary. We do not have
employment agreements with any of our executives. Base salaries for
our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities,
taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies in
our industry for similar positions, professional qualifications, academic
background, and the other elements of the executive’s compensation, including
stock-based compensation. Our intent is to set our base salaries near
the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with
similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with our compensation
philosophy. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be increased
to align salaries with market levels after taking into account the subjective
evaluation described previously.
Bonuses. Historically,
we have not paid cash bonuses to our executive
officers. Bonuses may be paid on an ad hoc basis to recognize
superior performance. If the Compensation Committee determines to
provide bonus compensation as a regular part of our executive compensation
package, it will establish performance goals for each of the executive officers
and maximum bonuses that may be earned upon attainment of such performance
goals.
Equity Incentive
Compensation. We believe that long-term performance is
achieved through an ownership culture participated in by our executive officers
through the use of stock-based awards. Currently, we do not maintain
any incentive compensation plans based on pre-defined performance
criteria. The Compensation Committee has the general authority,
however, to award equity incentive compensation to our executive officers in
such amounts and on such terms as the committee determines in its sole
discretion. The Committee does not have a determined formula for
determining the number of options available to be granted. Incentive
compensation is intended to compensate officers for accomplishing strategic
goals such as mergers and acquisitions and fund raising. The
Compensation Committee will review each executive’s individual performance and
his or her contribution to our strategic goals periodically and determine the
amount of incentive compensation towards the end of the fiscal
year. Our Compensation Committee grants equity incentive compensation
at times when we do not have material non-public information to avoid timing
issues and the appearance that such awards are made based on any such
information.
Retirement
Benefits. Currently, we do not provide any
company-sponsored retirement benefits or deferred compensation programs to any
employee, including the named executive officers (other than a mandatory state
pension scheme in which all of our employees in China participate) because it is
not customary to provide such benefits and programs in China.
Perquisites.
At this time, we do not provide, nor do we plan to provide,
perquisites to our named executive officers
Other Benefits. At
this time, we do not provide, nor do we plan to provide, deferred compensation,
life insurance, or other benefits to our executive officers.
Determination
of Compensation
Our
Compensation Committee, which is comprised of independent directors,
Mr. William Wei Lee, Mr. Song Chun-fang and Ms. Qian Xu-feng, is responsible for
reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on matters relating to
employee compensation and benefit plans and determining the compensation of our
Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Compensation Committee is
responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the
compensation of the executive officers of the Company, other than the Chief
Executive Officer, and independent directors.
In making
determinations, the Compensation Committee and the Board give material
consideration to our results of operations, financial condition and competitive
factors. The Compensation Committee may delegate authority to one or
more subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members. The
Compensation Committee may also accept recommendations and ideas from senior
management to determine the compensation to be paid to our executive officers.
In addition, our Chief Executive Officer regularly provides information and
recommendations to the committee on the performance of the executive officers,
appropriate levels and components of compensation, including equity grants, as
well as other information as the committee may request.
The
Compensation Committee may also retain consultants to assist in the evaluation
of compensation for our directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the executive
officers, however the Compensation Committee has not hired such
consultants.
We do not
formally benchmark our compensation against any peer group. However
we informally consider competitive market practices with respect to the salaries
and total compensation of our named executive officers. We review the
market practices by reviewing publicly available information of other companies
in our sector and our geographical area. However while we review such market
information, it is only one factor we consider in establishing compensation, and
we did not make use of any formula incorporating such data.
Generally
in determining whether to increase or decrease compensation to our named
executive officers, we take into account any changes, of which we are aware, in
the market pay levels, the performance of the executive officer, any increase or
decrease in responsibilities and roles of the executive officer, the business
needs for the executive officer, the transferability of managerial skills to
another employer, the relevance of the executives officers experience to other
potential employers and the readiness of the executive officer to assume a more
significant role within the organization.
The base
salaries for our executives were established based on the scope of their
responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by
other companies in our industry, and in Heilongjiang province, for similar
positions, professional qualifications, academic background, and the other
elements of the executive’s compensation, including stock-based
compensation. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be
increased to align salaries with market levels after taking into account the
subjective evaluation described previously.
Our
practice is to periodically consider awarding stock bonuses based upon, among
other things, accomplishments of key objectives and overall
performance. In addition, from time-to-time the committee may approve
payment of stock bonuses to executives or key contributors for special
accomplishments or other reasons. In 2009, the Board determined to
award our executive officers, independent directors and certain employees in the
form of stock grants valued in the aggregate amount of approximately 1% of our
total revenues. The Board then considered each recipients performance
and responsibilities in allocating the stock grants among the
participants.
Change
in Control and Employment Agreements
Through
2009 we had no change-in-control agreements, severance agreements or employment
agreements of any kind, nor are there plans to institute change-in-control
agreements, severance agreements or employment agreements in the near
future.
Stock
Ownership Guidelines
We have
not implemented any stock ownership requirements for our named executive
officers. We have issued stock options to our named executive
officers, which we believe allows management to own equity in our company and
accordingly align their interest with those of other shareholders.
Compensation

Equity
Compensation Plan Information
Our Board
of Directors adopted a 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to be effective
on July 31, 2006. The Plan was approved by our shareholders on July
31, 2006. The Plan authorizes the granting of incentive stock options
and nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation
rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, performance stock and bonus stock, to key
executives and other key employees and consultants of ours, including officers
of our subsidiaries. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain
key employees, to motivate key employees to achieve long-range goals and to
further align the interests of key employees with those of the other
shareholders of ours. The Plan authorizes the award of 1,500,000
shares of common stock to be used for stock, SARs, restricted stock and
performance and bonus stock. If an award made under the Plan expires,
terminates or is forfeited, canceled or settled in cash, without issuance of
shares covered by the award, those shares will be available for future awards
under the Plan. The Plan will terminate on July 31,
2017. The Plan is intended to qualify for favorable treatment under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated
thereunder (“Rule 16b-3”). The Plan provides for the grant of
“incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code (“Code”) and nonqualified stock options.
The Plan
designates a Stock Option Committee appointed by the Board of Directors (which
may be the Compensation Committee) and authorizes the Stock Option Committee to
grant or award to eligible participants stock options, SARs, restricted stock
performance stock awards and bonus stock awards for up to 1,500,000 shares of
our common stock. The initial members of the Stock Option Committee
are the Board of Directors.
As of
December 31, 2009, there have been a total of 198,202 common shares granted
under on the Plan, as follows:
|
·
|
In
October 2006, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 113,500
shares of common stock to a total of 36 participants under the
Plan. In May 2009, an aggregate of 101,000 of these stock
options were exercised on a “cashless” basis by 36 participants, resulting
in our issuance of an aggregate of 75,888 shares. In August
2009, the remaining 12,500 of these stock options were
exercised on a “cashless” basis by 9 participants, resulting in
our issuance of an aggregate of 9,407
shares.
|
|
·
|
In
April 2007, we issued an aggregate of 30,000 shares of restricted stock to
a total of 200 individuals under the
Plan.
|
|
·
|
In
July 2008, we issued an aggregate of 30,063 shares of restricted stock to
a total of 27 individuals under the
Plan.
|
|
·
|
In
December 2009, we issued an aggregate of 52,844 shares of restricted stock
to a total of 11 individuals under the
Plan.

Committee has the sole authority to review in advance and grant any
pre-approvals of (i) all auditing services to be provided by the independent
auditor, (ii) all significant non-audit services to be provided by the
independent auditors as permitted by Section 10A of the Exchange Act, and (iii)
all fees and the terms of engagement with respect to such services, except that
the Audit Committee may delegate the authority to pre-approve non-audit services
to one or more of its committee members who will present its decisions to the
full Audit Committee at the first meeting following such
decision. Following the Company’s establishment of an Audit Committee
on February 22, 2008, all audit and non-audit services performed by Murrell,
Hall, McIntosh & Co., PLLP, Sherb & Co., LLP and MSPC, Certified
Public Accountants and Advisors LLP during fiscal 2008 and 2007 were
pre-approved pursuant to the procedures outlined above. Prior to the
establishment of the Audit Committee, all services of the independent auditors
were approved by the full board of directors.
