PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Business Development

China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, or the “Registrant”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 1955, under the name "Inland Mineral Resources Corp." We were formed for the purpose of engaging in all lawful businesses. Our initial authorized capital consisted of 2,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common voting stock.

Currently, the Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific Capital Group”) a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu and its majority-owned subsidiary, TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd., (“TaiAn”) a Chinese limited liability company, is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”).

Charter Amendments and Re-capitalizations
 
The following amendments and/or re-capitalizations were effected by us in accordance with the Delaware General Corporations Code:
 
* On May 8, 1968 our authorized shares were increased to 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common voting stock.
 
* On April 25, 1969, our name was changed to "Parker-Levitt Corporation," and we also increased our authorized capital to 20,000,000 shares, comprised of 15,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common voting stock, and 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.
 
* On November 19, 1976, we changed our name to "Commercial Property Corp."
 
* On December 13, 1976, our name was changed back to "Parker-Levitt Corporation.”
 
* On June 23, 1977, we changed our name to "Commercial Property Corporation.”
 
* On October 18, 1982, our authorized capital was reduced to 3,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common voting stock only.
 
* On April 1, 1998 the Registrant effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Registrant’s outstanding common stock. The Board of Directors determined that no shareholder should have their share holdings reduced to less than 50 shares; therefore, an additional 56,632 shares of common stock were issued in conjunction with the reverse stock split.
 
* On December 23, 2004, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to: (i) authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with $0.001 par value; (ii) authorize 50,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.001 par value; (iii) change the common stock par value from $0.01 par value to $0.001; (iv) allow for forward and reverse pro rata stock splits without stockholder approval; (v) allow the Board of Directors to change our name without stockholder approval; and (vi) to opt out of Delaware corporate law control share acquisition provisions.

2

 
* In March 2005, the Registrant effected a two for one dividend with a mandatory exchange of stock certificates resulting in a two for one forward stock split while retaining our authorized capital and par value, with appropriate adjustments in our stated capital and capital surplus accounts.
 
* On November 15, 2006, as reported on the Form 8-K Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2006, we changed our name from “Commercial Property Corporation” to “Shandong Ruitai Chemical Co. Ltd.” The change of the name was made pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law after the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant merged with and into the Registrant with the Registrant surviving the merger.

* Effective, March 12, 2007, pursuant to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with the State of Delaware, the Registrant changed its name from “Shandong RuiTai Chemical Co. Ltd.” to China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd.
 
All computations herein take into account all of the foregoing re-capitalizations.

Historical Business Operations

Subsequent to our inception, we entered into several business acquisitions with subsidiaries and held various limited partnership interests related to real property development. These operations were not successful, and we discontinued the majority of our operations by 1981. We were dormant as the result of the revocation of our corporate charter by the State of Delaware due to our failure to pay the required franchise taxes from 1984 until 1997. In 1997, our corporate charter was reinstated. From 1997 until November 2007 we did not conduct any material business operations.

As disclosed on Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2007 and November 9, 2007, on August 29, 2007, the Registrant entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Pacific Capital Group, and the shareholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific Capital Group to the Registrant in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 22,645,348 shares of the Registrant’s common stock to the Shareholders, thereby causing Pacific Capital Group to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “Share Exchange”). Upon closing of the Share Exchange on November 8, 2007, the Shareholders of Pacific Capital Group delivered all of their equity capital in Pacific Capital Group to the Registrant in exchange for 22,645,348 shares of common stock of the Registrant. The Share Exchange resulted in Pacific Capital Group, and Pacific Capital Group’s operating subsidiary, TaiAn becoming wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, respectively, of the Registrant.

As a result of the Share Exchange described above, on November 8, 2007, Pacific Capital Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Pacific Capital Group was incorporated on November 23, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity. On April 26, 2007, following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC, Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn, which was formed in the PRC on November 10, 1999. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn became a majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group. Pacific Capital Group, through TaiAn, engages in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of cellulose ether.

Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, the Registrant was a shell company with no or nominal business operations. As a result of the closing of the Share Exchange, the Registrant succeeded to the business of TaiAn as its sole line of business. TaiAn is based in Feicheng City, Shandong Province, PRC.

The Chart below depicts the corporate structure of the Registrant. As depicted below, the Registrant owns 100% of the capital stock of Pacific Capital Group and has no other subsidiaries. Pacific Capital Group owns 99% of the capital stock of TaiAn and has no other subsidiaries. TaiAn has no subsidiaries.
 

Business of the Issuer

As noted above, the Registrant does not directly carry on business operations. All of the business operations of the Registrant are conducted through its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. As used in this Form 10-KSB, unless otherwise specifically noted, from this point forward all references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the Registrant, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pacific Capital Group and TaiAn.

The Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Capital Group and its majority-owned subsidiary, TaiAn, is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. Cellulose ether is an organic chemical that dissolves in water and other organic solvents. Due to the surface-active properties of cellulose ether, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in aqueous solutions, making it a beneficial additive in a wide variety of commercial industries and products, including, but not limited to the pharmaceutical industry, the construction industry, PVC products, food and beverage products, petroleum, and cosmetics. Specific examples of applications in which cellulose ether products are used include: as a stabilizer and thickener in latex paint; in mortar dry mix for building materials; to improve the performance of resin in PVC production; as a membrane reagent, stabilizer, and thickener in pharmaceuticals; and to improve jam, ice cream, toothpaste and lipsticks in the food and cosmetic industries. TaiAn is one of the largest non-ionic cellulose ether producers in China.

Cellulose ether is an organic chemical that dissolves in water and other organic solvents. Due to the surface-active properties of cellulose ether, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in aqueous solutions, making it a beneficial additive in a wide variety of commercial industries and products, including, but not limited to the pharmaceutical industry, the construction industry, PVC products, food and beverage products, petroleum, and cosmetics.

TaiAn distributes its products through two primary methods of distribution: 1) directly to end-users who have ordered the product directly from the Company; and 2) through sales agents working at sales offices throughout the PRC. The end-user method of sales and distribution, accounts for 95% of TaiAn’s total sales volume. Additionally, TaiAn operates thirty sales offices throughout China. TaiAn currently operates four offices in both Beijing and Shanghai, and operates a single office in each of the following cities: Guangzhou, Qingdao, Nanjing, Chongqing, ChengDu, Shenyang, and Wurumuqi.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
 
The two major raw materials required for the production of cellulose ether products are: 1) purified cotton; and 2) etherifying epoxy propane. China is a predominantly agricultural country that produces significant amounts of purified cotton. TaiAn is located in Feicheng City in the Shandong Province, a region known for its cotton production. As a result of its location, it is convenient for TaiAn to obtain adequate supplies of high-quality cotton at competitive prices to facilitate the production of its products. In addition to our need for cotton, we also utilize large amounts of etherifying epoxy propane in the production of our products. Within the Shandong Province, Qilu Petrochemical Company, Shandong Insecticide Factory, and Shandong Dongda Company all produce large quantities of etherifying epoxy propane each year. Thus, the assurance of an adequate supply of this raw material is also expected for the near future.
 
Intellectual Property

The Company has registered the trademark “RuiTai” with the Trademark Bureau, State Administration for Industry and Commerce, People’s Republic of China. The Company does not own any other trademarks or patents.

Other parties are actively developing cellulose ether products. We expect these parties to continue to take steps to protect these technologies, including seeking patent protection. There may be patents issued or pending that are held by others and cover significant parts of our technology, business methods or services. We cannot be certain that our products do not or will not infringe on any valid patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims, from time to time, relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business.

In addition, we may license technology from third parties. The market is evolving and we may need to license additional technologies to remain competitive. We may not be able to license these technologies on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may fail to successfully integrate any licensed technology into our services. Our inability to obtain any of these licenses could delay product and service development until alternative technologies can be identified, licensed and integrated.

Government Regulation
  
The Company is subject to regulation by both the PRC central government and local governmental agencies located in Feicheng City. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations covering compliance matters or imposing liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. Changes in environmental laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Any failure by the Company to adequately comply with such laws and regulations could subject the Company to significant future liabilities.

Employees
 
The Company currently employs 608 full time employees.

Company Overview

The Registrant was originally incorporated in Delaware on November 15, 1955, under the name "Inland Mineral Resources Corp." and was formed for the purpose of engaging in all lawful businesses. On March 12, 2007, the Registrant changed its name to China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd. On November 8, 2007, the Registrant acquired Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., and its majority-owned subsidiary, TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd., pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement discussed above. This transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” with Pacific Capital Group deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the Registrant as the legal acquirer. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements for periods prior to the Share Exchange are those of Pacific Capital Group and its subsidiary and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Pacific Capital Group. For the period subsequent to the completion of the Share Exchange, the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of both the Registrant and Pacific Capital Group, the historical operations of Pacific Capital Group and the operations of the Registrant and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

The Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Capital Group and its majority-owned subsidiary, TaiAn, is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. Cellulose ether is an organic chemical that dissolves in water and other organic solvents. Due to the surface-active properties of cellulose ether, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in aqueous solutions, making it a beneficial additive in a wide variety of commercial industries and products, including, but not limited to the pharmaceutical industry, the construction industry, PVC products, food and beverage products, petroleum, and cosmetics. Specific examples of applications in which cellulose ether products are used include: as a stabilizer and thickener in latex paint; in mortar dry mix for building materials; to improve the performance of resin in PVC production; as a membrane reagent, stabilizer, and thickener in pharmaceuticals; and to improve jam, ice cream, toothpaste and lipsticks in the food and cosmetic industries. TaiAn is one of the largest non-ionic cellulose ether producers in China.

Consolidated Results of Operation for China RuiTai International Holdings Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006.
 
Revenue

Revenue. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had revenues of $38,407,800 as compared to revenues of $28,090,238 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 36.7%. The increase in revenue experienced by the Company was primarily attributable to the following factors: i) Changes in Sales Volume - the sales volume of the Company’s products increased from 2006 to 2007 due to a greater demand for cellulose ether. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 the Company sold a total of 7,200 tons of cellulose ether, as compared to 5,784 tons of cellulose ether in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 25%; ii) Changes in Sales Price - the price per ton of cellulose ether increased from 2006 to 2007. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the average sales price of one ton of cellulose ether was $5,215, as compared to an average sales price of $4,764 per ton for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $451 per ton, or approximately 9.5%; and iii) Changes in Exchange Rates - in addition to the foregoing, some of the growth in the Company’s revenue was attributable to changes in the foreign exchange rate, which increased from 7.96 RMB to $1.00 USD in 2006 to 7.61 RMB to $1.00 USD in 2007.

Cost of Sales. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s cost of sales was $26,489,964, as compared to Costs of Sales of $19,153,553 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 38.3%. This increase in cost of sales experienced by the Company was primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume experienced by the Company as discussed above, and an increase in the price of raw materials that the Company uses for its manufacturing. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 the price of raw materials utilized by the Company was $3,561 per ton, as compared to $3,218 per ton for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $343, or approximately 11%.
 
Operating Expenses

The operating expenses for the Company are divided into Selling Expenses and General and Administrative Expenses, both of which are discussed below:

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses which consist of sales commission, freight charges, advertising and promotion expenses totaled $2,189,488 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $2,128,099 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 3%. This minor increase is primarily attributable to expanding the Company’s sales team and the team’s activities, which are in turn reflected in increased sales.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $1,627,505 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1,491,118 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 9.1%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in consultant fees and office expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Income From Operations

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had income from operations in the amount of $8,100,843 as compared to income from operations of $5,317,468 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 52.3%. The increase in income from operations experienced by the Company was primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company’s products during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

10


Interest Expense

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred interest expense in the amount of $1,996,479, as compared to interest expense of $1,159,076 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 72%. The increase in interest expense incurred by the Company resulted from increase in interest expenses on bank loans and discount on bank checks received from customers. The interest expenses on bank loans increased by $299,433, or 34%. The increase in interest on bank loans was primarily a result of an increase of interest rates, which increased from an average monthly interest rate of 5.56 % in 2006 to an average monthly interest rate of 7.30 % in 2007, an increase of approximately 31%. Our interest expenses on discount on bank checks increased from $277,686 in 2006 to $815,656 in 2007, an increase of $537,970, or approximately 194%. The increase in our interest expenses was due to the increase in amount of bank checks discounted as we needed additional cash resources for our business operations.

Net Income
 
The Company had a net income of $4,875,834 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $3,005,998 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $1,869,836 or approximately 62%. The increase in net income is attributable to an increase in sales during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Management believes that net income will continue to increase as the Company introduces new products, increases sales, and expands its production capacity.
 
Inventories
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had Inventories of $6,656,028, as compared to inventories of $5,209,747 as of December 31, 2006, $1,446,281 an increase of approximately 28%. The increase in inventories from 2006 to 2007 was the result of increased sales volume which required the Company to maintain a larger inventory of raw materials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company anticipates that the existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with the net cash flows generated from its business activities will be sufficient to meet the working capital requirements for its on-going projects and to sustain the business operations for the next twelve months.  

Total Current Assets & Total Assets

As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet (as restated) reflects that we have: i) total current assets of $37,787,747, as compared to total current assets of $40,448,410 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $2,660,663, or approximately 6.6%; and ii) total assets of $65,165,337 as of December 31, 2007, compared to $52,471,220 as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $12,694,117, or approximately 24% The Company’s total current assets decreased slightly because the Company experienced a decrease in its cash and cash equivalents from 2006 to 2007. The Company’s total assets increased substantially due to increases that the Company experienced in property and equipment, inventory, and amounts due from a related party, all of which are discussed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have cash and cash equivalents of $4,166,713, as compared to $6,286,289 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $2,119,576, approximately 33.7%. The decrease in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to cash expenditures to acquire fixed assets and to increase in the Company’s inventory.

11


Bank Checks and Commercial Paper. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have bank checks and commercial paper of $621,204, as compared to bank checks and commercial paper of $1,191,451 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $570,247, or approximately 47.9%. The decrease in the Company’s bank checks and commercial paper from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to the fact that we discounted more bank checks and commercial paper as we needed cash to pay for additional fixed assets and to pay for raw materials, which increased in price during the course of the year.

Inventory. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have inventory of $6,656,028, as compared to inventory of $5,209,747 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $1,446,281, or approximately 27.8%. The increase in the Company’s inventory from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to increases of finished goods and raw material due to the extension of our production capacity.

Property and Equipment. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have property and equipment of $11,306,271, as compared to property and equipment of $6,592,792 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $4,713,478, or approximately 71.5%. The increase in the Company’s property and equipment from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to additions made to our production equipment and changes in the foreign exchange rate, which increased from 7.80 RMB to $1.00 USD as of December 31, 2006 to 7.31 RMB to $1.00 USD as of December 31, 2007, or an increase of RMB 0.49, or approximately 6.7%

Due From Related Party. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet (as restated) reflects that we have an amount due from related party of $14,829,593, as compared to an amount due from related party of $8,804,112 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $6,025,481. The increase in the amount due from related party from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to the additional loans that we made to the related party, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd., which pledged its thermal plant as collateral for these loans, and promised to gradually payback these loans within the next three years.

“Due from a related party" represents loans to Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Ruitai"), a former majority owner of TaiAn. Shandong Ruitai had owned 75% equity ownership interest of TaiAn from January 2000 through February 2007. On March 20, 2007, Shandong sold a 74% equity ownership interest of TaiAn to Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. Mr. Xingfu Lu, our President, and Mr. Dianmin Ma, our CEO, collectively own 100% of equity ownership interest in Shandong Ruitai.

TaiAn has been extending loans to Shangdong Ruitai and the balance amounted to $14,738,564 and $12,244,755 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These loans were unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from a shareholder are classified as cash flows from investing activities. The total loans to the shareholder was $111,429,218, and $82,904,688 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As TaiAn became the only operating subsidiary of a public company, TaiAn signed loan agreement with Shandong Ruitai in December 2007. Pursuant to the loan agreement, Shandong will pay 7‰ interest on the outstanding balance monthly. The Management believes that the interest rate approximates the fair market interest rate as compared to the Company's bank loans. Shandong Ruitain pledges its electricity generation plant as collateral for the loans and Mr. Lv and Mr. Ma guarantee the loans. Also, Shandong Ruitai will gradually pay off these loans in a three-year period ended December 31, 2010, with 30% in 2008, 30% in 2009, and the rest of 40% in 2010.”

Restricted Cash. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet (as restated) reflects that we have restricted cash of $14,738,564, as compared to restricted cash of $12,244,750 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $2,493,814, or approximately 20.4%. The increase in restricted cash from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to the increase in the percentage of compensation balance used to secure bank checks.

12


Total Current Liabilities

As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have total current liabilities of $55,361,171, as compared to total current liabilities of $48,087,430 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $7,273,741, or approximately 15.1%. The increase in the Company’s total current liabilities from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to changes in the Company’s bank loan which increased by $3,059,709 from 2006 to 2007, accounts payable and accrued expenses which increased by $2,114,725 from 2006 to 2007, taxes payable which increased by $1,338,948 from 2006 to 2007, and due to employees which increased by $374,914 from 2006 to 2007.

Bank Loans. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet reflects that we have a bank loan of $19,269,317, as compared to a bank loan of $16,209,608 as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $3,059,709, or approximately 18.9%. The increase in our bank loan was attributable to additional funds that we needed to borrow to purchase fixed assets and raw materials due to our increased production capacity during the fiscal year ended 2007.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. As of December 31, 2007, our audited balance sheet (as restated) reflects that we have accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7,567,437, as compared to accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5,542,712 as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $2,024,725, or approximately 36.5%. The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses was attributable to our addition of fixed assets and raw materials.

Operating Activities

Net cash of $7,142,071 was provided by operating activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11,471,920 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of $4,329,849 or approximately 37.7%. The decrease in net cash provided by our operating activities was primarily attributable to increases in inventory and a decrease in bank checks payable.

Investing Activities

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the net cash used in investing activities was $9,989,901, as compared to $8,869,934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $1,119,967, or approximately 12%. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the purchase of fixed assets and additional loans made to a related party.

Financing Activities

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the net cash provided by financing activities was $593,503, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $474,319 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $119,184, or approximately 25%. The change in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in restricted cash used to secure bank checks.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 audit 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 audit 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.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have been restated.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1- RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s previously issued financial statements were reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). During the course of the Commission’s review, the Commission issued comment letters to which we provided responses and amended our financial statements per such comments.

Restatement to balance sheets

1.
In the previously issued report, we classified “Restricted cash" as other assets. Since these are compensation balances to secure the Company's bank checks and have a maturity of 180 days or less, we now have concluded that we should classify restricted cash as current assets.

2.
In the previously issued report, we classified the entire amount of due from a related party as other assets. Since 30% of such amount is due in one year per the loan agreement, we now have concluded that we should classify 30% of the outstanding balance as current assets.

Restatement to statements of cash flows

In the previously issued report, we classified change of "bank checks payable" as cash flows from financing activities. Since the changes of bank check payable constitute the completion / deferral of cash payments to suppliers, we now have concluded that we should classify changes of “bank checks payable” as cash flows from operating activities.

These adjustments had no effect in the shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

These adjustments had no effect in the statements of operations and the statements of changes in shareholders' equity in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

CHINA RUITAI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2- ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. ("China Ruitai" or the "Company") was initially organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 1955 as Inland Mineral Resources Corp. The Company subsequently changes its name to Parker-Levitt Corporation, and in 1997 changed its name to Commercial Property Corporation, and in 2006 changed its name to Shangdong Ruitai Chemical Co., Ltd. on March 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. On February 26, 2007, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.

The Company was engaged in various real estate and development projects. The Company was not successful and discontinued the majority of its operations by 1981. On November 19, 1997, the Company issued common stock that resulted in a change in control and entered into a new development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises".

On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific Capital Group”) a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, and the stockholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Stockholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Stockholders agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific Capital Group to the Company in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 22,645,348 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Stockholders, thereby causing Pacific Capital Group's and Pacific Capital Group’s majority-owned operating subsidiary, TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. (“TaiAn”), a Chinese limited liability company, to become wholly-owned and majority owned-subsidiaries, respectively of the Company. The parties closed the share exchange contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on November 8, 2007.

The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a “reverse merger,” since the stockholders of Pacific Capital Group own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the Share Exchange. Pacific Capital Group is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements for periods prior to the Share Exchange will be those of Pacific Capital Group and its subsidiary and will be recorded at the historical cost basis. After completion of the Share Exchange, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will include the assets and liabilities of both China Ruitai and Pacific Capital Group, the historical operations of Pacific Capital Group and the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

Pacific Capital Group was incorporated on November 23, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity. On April 26, 2007, following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC, Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn, which was formed in the PRC on November 10, 1999. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn became a majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group.

TaiAn is the only one of these affiliated companies that is engaged in business operations. China RuiTai and Pacific Capital Group are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in TaiAn. TaiAn is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. TaiAn's assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2- ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (continued)

China Ruitai, Pacific Capital Group, and TaiAn are hereafter referred to as the Company.

Note 3- CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL OWNERS

The directors, executive officers, their affiliates, and related parties own, directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital of the Company. Accordingly, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.

Note 4- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation. Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the "Accounting Principles of China” ("PRC GAAP"). Certain accounting principles, which are stipulated by US GAAP, are not applicable in the PRC GAAP. The difference between PRC GAAP accounts of the Company and its US GAAP financial statements is immaterial.

Foreign Currencies Translation

The Company maintains its books and accounting records in PRC currency "Renminbi" ("RMB"), which is determined as the functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. Exchange differences are included in the statements of changes in owners' equity. Gain and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.

The Company’s financial statements are translated into the reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“US$”). Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at each reporting period end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from translation of these financial statements are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the owners’ equity.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Foreign Currencies Translation (continued)

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and amounted to $570,712 and $80,376 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2007 were translated at 7.31 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 7.80 RMB at December 31, 2006. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 7.61 RMB and 7.96 RMB, respectively.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon the functional currency. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition (restated)

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This generally occurs when products are shipped to unaffiliated customer or picked up by unaffiliated customers in the Company's warehouse, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The corresponding freight-out and handling costs are included in the selling expenses.

The Company does not provide an unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to our customers. Sales returns and other allowances have been immaterial in our operation.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of prepayments to the Company for products that have not yet been delivered to the customers. Payments received prior to satisfying the Company’s revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.

Note 4- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Bank checks and commercial paper

Bank checks and commercial paper include bank checks and commercial paper with original maturities of approximately 180 days or less at the time of issuance. Book value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company receives these financial instruments as payments from its customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company totally received $20,210,828 and $21,250,459 in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Accounts Receivable (restated)

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We generally grant new customers a one-month period in which to pay for goods that we have delivered to them, and we grant existing customers a two to three month period in which to pay for goods that we have delivered to them. We used an indirect method of accounting to write off any accounts receivable which exceeded the allotted three month time period which we provide to our customers. In circumstances in which we receive payment for accounts receivable which have previously been written off, we reverse the allowance and bad debt expenses.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, bank checks and commercial paper, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Actual cost is used to value raw materials and supplies. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued on the weighted-average-cost method. Elements of costs in finished good and work-in-progress include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

Note 4- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Due from unaffiliated suppliers (restated)

The Company has been extending temporary short-term loans to some unaffiliated suppliers. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, they are deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from unaffiliated suppliers are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

The Management believes the loans can help theses suppliers run their business, and in turn these suppliers can provide raw materials and services to the Company in a stable price. The Management periodically evaluates the financial resources of the borrowers to make sure the suppliers have the capability to pay back these loans. Also, the Company has never had any bad debt with these suppliers. Therefore, the Management believes that these loans are collectable.

Long-term investment

The long-term investment represents monetary investments in the Wenyang Xinyong Bank, a local state owned bank in Wenyang County, Shandong Province, PRC. The investments are transferable in accordance with the laws of the PRC. The investments are carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company did not purchase any such long-term investment in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Dividend income on this investment is recorded when received. There were no dividend received in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company may sell these investments back to the bank at the book value.

Impairment of Long-life Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Restricted cash, and Bank checks payable (restated)
 
The Company pays its suppliers with bank checks in its ordinary business transactions. Generally, the Company deposits 40% to 100% of the bank check amount into a restricted bank account, the bank then issues a bank check payable to a supplier in 180 days or less. The Company delivers the bank check as payment to the supplier, who can discount the bank check before its maturity. When the bank check reaches maturity, the bank takes the deposit in the restricted bank accounts and the balance, if any, from other bank account(s) that the Company has with the bank. While the bank does not charge interest expenses on the balance, the bank pays interest on the deposit in the restricted bank account to the Company. The bank generally charges 0.0005% of the bank check amount as service fee for issuance of the bank check.

Land Use Right

All land belongs to the State in PRC. Enterprises and individuals can pay the State a fee to obtain a right to use a piece of land for commercial purpose or residential purpose for an initial period of 50 years or 70 years, respectively. The land use right can be sold, purchased, and exchanged in the market. The successor owner of the land use right will reduce the amount of time which has been consumed by the predecessor owner.

The Company owns the right to use a piece of land, approximately 23 acre, located in the Wenyang County, Shandong Province for a fifty-year period ended December 2, 2055; and a piece of land, approximately 36 acre, also located in the Wenyang County, Shanxi Province for a forty-eight-year period ended June 5, 2054. The costs of these land use rights are amortized over their prospective beneficial period, using the straight-line method with no residual value.

The Company recognized government subsidiary of $556,627, and $0 in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development costs relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed when incurred. The major components of these research and development costs include experimental materials and labor costs. The Research and development cost was immaterial for the Company in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was included into general and administration expenses.

All of the Company’s products that are sold in PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid on purchase of raw materials included in the cost of producing the finished goods.

Segment Reporting (restated)

SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company currently operates in one principal business segment.

Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.

Pension and Employee Benefits

Full time employees of the PRC entities participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees' salaries. The Management believes full time employees who have passed the probation period are entitled to such benefits. The total provisions for such employee benefits was $110,578, and $67,618 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Statutory Reserves

Pursuant to the applicable laws in PRC, PRC entities are required to make appropriations to three non-distributable reserve funds, the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund, and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net earnings as determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP, after offsetting any prior years’ losses. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after-tax net earnings until the reserve is equal to 50% of the Company's registered capital. Appropriation to the statutory public welfare fund is 5% to 10% of the after-tax net earnings. The statutory public welfare fund is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the employees and is non-distributable other than in liquidation. No appropriations to the discretionary surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

In 2007, the Company contributes $512,917 to the statutory surplus reserve fund, and $256,459 to the statutory public welfare fund. In 2006, $181,986 was contributed to the statutory surplus reserve fund, and $90,993 was contributed to the statutory public welfare fund.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding (options and warrants) for the years ended December, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) and No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). Both SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are to be adopted effective January 1, 2009. SFAS 141R requires the application of several new or modified accounting concepts that, due to their complexity, could introduce a degree of volatility in periods subsequent to a material business combination. SFAS 141R requires that all business combinations result in assets and liabilities acquired being recorded at their fair value, with limited exceptions. Other areas related to business combinations that will require changes from current GAAP include: contingent consideration, acquisition costs, contingencies, restructuring costs, in process research and development and income taxes, among others. SFAS 160 will primarily impact the presentation of minority or noncontrolling interests within the Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations as well as the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. Management does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) and SFAS No. 160 would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value primarily to reduce the complexity and level of volatility in the accounting for financial instruments resulting from measuring related financial assets and liabilities differently under existing GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate SFAS 159 having a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, which provides guidance on the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statements errors, under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over methods, based on the effects of the error on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No. 108 is generally effective for annual financial statements in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The transition provisions of SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Management does not expect that the adoption of SAB No. 108 would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employer's Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. The standard also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after September 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair values, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 25, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period with that fiscal year. The provisions of this statement should be applied, except in some circumstances where the statement shall be applied retrospectively. Management does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). The accounting provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets" ("FAS 156"), which amends SFAS No. 140. FAS 156 specifically provides guidance addressing the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, common with mortgage securitization activities, and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge accounting treatment. FAS 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with early adoption being permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 13- BANK LOANS (continued)

(a) The Company was defaulted on these bank loans, totaling $3,389,608, July 27, 2006 through January 30, 2007. The Company paid interest during such period. On January 31, 2007, the bank extent these loans for a one-year period January 31, 2007 through January 31, 2008.

Interest expense for these bank loans was $881,390 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 14- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advance to employees

“Advance to employee” are advances to employees who are working on projects on behalf of the Company. After the work is finished, they will submit expense reports with supporting documents to the accounting department. Then, the expenses are debited into the relevant accounts and the advances are credited out. Cash flows from these activities are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

Due from a related party

“Due from a related party" represents loans to Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Ruitai"), then a majority owner of TaiAn. Shandong Ruitia had owned 75% equity ownership interest of TaiAn January 2000 through February 2007. On March 20, 2007, Shandong sold 74% equity ownership interest of TaiAn to Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. Mr. Xingfu Lv, our President, and Mr. Dianming Ma, our CEO, collectively own 100% of equity ownership interest in Shandong Ruitai.

TaiAn has been extending loans to Shangdong Ruitai and the balance amounted to $14,829,593 and $8,804,112 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These loans were unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from a shareholder are classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Managements periodically evaluates the financial resources of the borrower to make sure Shandong Ruitai has the capability to pay back these loans.

As TaiAn became the only operating subsidiary of a public company, TaiAn signed loan agreement with Shangdong Ruitai in December 2007. Pursuant to the loan agreement, Shangdong will pay 7‰ interest on the outstanding balance monthly. The Management believes that the interest rate approximates the fair market interest rate as compared to the Company's bank loans. Shandong Ruitai pledges its electricity generation plant as collateral for the loans and Mr. Lv and Mr. Ma guarantee the loans. Also, Shandong Ruitai will gradually pay off these loans in a three-year period ended December 31, 2010, with 30% in 2008, 30% in 2009, and the rest of 40% in 2010.

Due to employees

Due to Employees represents loans from employees to finance the Company’s operations due to a lack of cash resources. There are no formal loan agreements for these loans, therefore, these loans were unsecured, and have no fixed terms of repayment. The employees can inject or withdraw funds as they wish. The Company pays 6‰ interest on these loans monthly beginning from July 1, 2007. Cash flows from these activities are classified as cash flows from financing activities. The Company paid interest of $31,008 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Land use right transaction

On October 25, 2006, the Company purchase the use right of a piece of land, approximately 36 acre, located in Wenyang County, Shandong Province, from its majority shareholder, Shandong Ruitai, for $3,352,840. The local government approved the transaction and certified that the purchase price is at the fair market value. The consideration has been paid to the seller, and the title transferal is under going. The Management believes the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than those reasonably obtainable from third parties.

Advisory Agreement

On June 11, 2007, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Mid-Continental Securities Corp., (“Mid-Continental”) its agents and/or assigns, which in essence requires that varying consulting services be rendered during a one year period. The Company made payment of these services in advance through the issuance of 1,300,000 shares valued at $0.20 per share, totaling $260,000. Since this issuance occurred to the shell company before reverse merger, the transaction has no affect on the consolidated financial statements presented.

Advances from Stockholder

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, Mid-Continental paid expenses and liabilities of the Company in the amount of $47,738. These payments are considered capital contributions inasmuch as the Company will not repay these amounts to the stockholder. Since these payments occurred to the shell company before reverse merger, the transaction has no affect on the consolidated financial statements presented.

Note 15- INCOME TAX (restated)

All Chinese enterprises are governed by the PRC Income Tax Law and various local income tax laws, pursuant to which a company generally is subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% national income tax and 3% local income tax) on income as reported in its statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Beginning from January 1, 2008, the effective national income tax rate reduces to 25%.

The PRC Income Tax Law provides tax benefits to foreign-invested enterprises, pursuant to which a qualified company is exempt from national income tax for its first three fiscal years since it records net profit, and is eligible to half of the national income tax rate for the subsequent two fiscal years.

The Company was qualified as a foreign-invested company in 2001, as such, it was exempted from national income tax for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003; and was eligible for half of the national income tax rate (15%) in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and 2005. Since 2006, the Company is subject to the regular national income tax rate (30%). Pursuant to the tax regulations established by the Shandong Province Tax Authority, the Company is eligible to be exempt from local income tax as part of the incentive program to encourage local economic.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $1,138,602 carried from prior years. Although the PRC Income Tax Law allows the enterprises to offset their future net income with operating losses carried forward, enterprise need approval from local tax authority before they can claim such tax benefit, and the outcome of the application is generally uncertain. Therefore, the Managements established a 100% valuation allowance for the operation losses carried forward and no deferred tax assets have been recorded.

Note 16- COMMON STOCK

In December 2004, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to authorize 50,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share. Previous thereto, the authorized shares consisted of 3,000,000 at $0.01 par value per share.

On June 11, 2007, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of common stock to a related party as more fully disclosed in NOTE 13 to these consolidated financial statements.

Note 18- ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company operates within the requirements of numerous regulations at the local, province, and national levels regarding issues such as the handling and disposal of hazardous chemicals, waste-water treatment and effluent and emissions limitations among others. From a practical standpoint, certain environmental contamination cannot be reasonably determined until a facility or asset is retired or an event occurs that otherwise requires the facility to be tested and monitored. In the absence of such requirements to test for environmental contamination prior to an asset or facility retirement, the Company has concluded that it cannot reasonably estimate the cost associated with such environmental-related asset retirement obligations (“ARO”).

In addition, the Company anticipates operating its manufacturing facilities indefinitely into the future thereby rendering the potential range of settlement dates as indeterminate. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any AROs to recognize legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, as contemplated by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”) and FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”).

Note 19- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

PRC's political and economic system

The Company faces a number of risks and challenges not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe, since its assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein. The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are in a state of change. The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.

Note 19- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Environmental (restated)

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations covering compliance matters or imposing liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. Currently, our environmental compliance costs principally include the costs to run our waste water treatment facility and routine inspection fees paid to the local environmental department. These amounts are immaterial to our operating costs. However, changes in these laws and regulations may significantly increase our environmental compliance costs and therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Also, any failure by the Company to adequately comply with such laws and regulations could subject the Company to significant future liabilities.”

Governmental control of currency conversion

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. The Company receives most of its revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the Company’s ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents the Company from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy its currency demands, the Company may not be able to pay certain of its expenses as they come due.

Contingent liabilities

Prior to the merger with Pacific Capital Group on November 8, 2007, the Company has not been active since discontinuing its real estate operations in 1981. Management believes that there are no valid outstanding liabilities from prior operations. If a creditor were to come forward and claim a liability, the Company has committed to contest such claim to the fullest extent of the law. No amount has been accrued in the financial statements for this contingent liability.

Note 19- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Guaranteed Loans (restated)

The Company has guaranteed certain loans for third-party enterprises, which, in turn, have guaranteed loans for the Company. These guarantees require payment from the Company in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor and, if the debtor defaults, the Company may be required to pay amounts outstanding under the related agreements in addition to the principal amount guaranteed, including accrued interest and related fees.

The Company and these third-party enterprises have been guaranteeing loans for each other in the day-to-day operation. Both these enterprises and the Company are considered good reputation debtors by local banks. The banks allow these companies guarantee loans for each other instead of requiring the loans be secured by collateral. None of the enterprises, for which the Company has guaranteed loans, has defaulted on any loan repayments, and accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities or losses on such guarantees.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

As reported on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 9, 2008, the Company changed auditors. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, there were no disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.

ITEM 8A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management of the Company also is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company's internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

51


Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's 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 on Form 10-KSB.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Transactions
The following are transactions with related parties:

Advance to Employees

“TaiAn has a process of making advances to employees. “Advances to Employees” are advances to employees who are working on projects on behalf of TaiAn. After the work is finished, they will submit expense reports with supporting documents to the accounting department. Then, the expenses are debited into the relevant accounts and the advances are credited out. Cash flows from these activities are classified into operating activities. The total advance to employees was $2,966,919 and $1,629,857 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Due From Related Party

Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Ruitai"), owned a 75% equity ownership interest in TaiAn. Mr. Xingfu Lu, our President, and Mr. Dian Min Ma, our CEO, collectively own 100% of capital stock of Shandong Ruitai. On March 20, 2007, Shandong Ruitai sold 74% of its equity interest in TaiAn to Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. From January 2000 through February 2007, prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, TaiAn would periodically make loans to Shandong Ruitai.

“Due from a related party" represents loans which occurred prior to the closing of the Share Exchange from TaiAn to Shandong Ruitai. As of December 31, 2007, the balance of loaned funds from TaiAn to Shandong Ruitai amounted to US $14,738,564. Subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange, on December 31, 2007, Shandong Ruitai entered into a Loan Contract with TaiAn for the repayment of the outstanding balance of the loans. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Contract, Shandong Ruitai will repay the principal outstanding balance of the loan, $14,738,564, and interest which is accruing monthly at 7% over a three-year period ending December 31, 2010, with 30% of the principal and interest due as of the fiscal year ending 2008, 30% of the principal and interest due as of the fiscal year ending 2009, and 40% of the principal and interest due as of the fiscal year ending 2010. The repayment obligations of Shandong Ruitai under the Loan Contract are secured by a thermal power plant owned by Shandong Ruitai. Additionally, Shandong Ruitai’s repayment obligations are personally guaranteed by Shandong Ruitai’s principals, Mr. Dian Min Ma and Mr. Xingfu Lu. The foregoing description of the loan contract is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Contact which was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2008, and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Due To Employees

Due to Employees represents loans from employees to finance the Company’s operations due to a lack of cash resources. There are no formal loan agreements for these loans, therefore, these loans were unsecured, and have no fixed terms of repayment. The employees can inject or withdraw funds as they wish. The Company pays 6‰ interest on these loans monthly beginning from July 1, 2007. Cash flows from these activities are classified as cash flows from financing activities. The total borrowing from employees was $694,429 and $137,924 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company paid interest of $31,008 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Land Use Right Transaction

On October 25, 2006, the Company purchased the use right of a piece of land, approximately 36 acre, located in Wenyang County, Shandong Province, from its majority shareholder, Shandong Ruitai, for $3,352,840, a copy of the Land Transfer Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007, and is hereby incorporated by reference. The local government approved the transaction and certified that the purchase price is at the fair market value. The consideration has been paid to the seller, and the title transferal is under going. The Management believes the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than those reasonably obtainable from third parties.

58


Advisory Agreement

As disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2007, on June 11, 2007, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Mid-Continental Securities Corp., (“Mid-Continental”) its agents and/or assigns, which in essence requires that varying consulting services be rendered during a one year period. The Company made payment of these services in advance through the issuance of 1,300,000 shares valued at $0.20 per share, totaling $260,000. Since this issuance occurred prior to the closing of the Share Exchange and reverse merger, the transaction has no affect on the consolidated financial statements presented.

Advances From Stockholder

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, Mid-Continental paid expenses and liabilities of the Company in the amount of $47,738. These payments are considered capital contributions inasmuch as the Company will not repay these amounts to the stockholder. Since these payments occurred prior to the closing of the Share Exchange and reverse merger, the transaction has no affect on the consolidated financial statements presented.

Aside from the foregoing, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which our Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the small business issuer’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.

Director Independence

The NASDAQ Stock Market has instituted director independence guidelines that have been adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission. These guidelines provide that a director is deemed “independent” only if the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship with the company which, in the board’s opinion, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Significant stock ownership will not, by itself, preclude a board finding of independence.

3. is a family member of an individual who is employed as an executive officer by the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;

4. is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than (a) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities or (b) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;

6. is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit.
