CHINA HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.
PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 25, 2008
INTRODUCTION
     The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of China Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on June 25, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), at the Company’s offices located at 1233 Encino Drive, Pasadena, CA 91108 and any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”) for the following purposes:
  (1)   To elect one (1) director to the Board of Directors of the Company comprising all of the Class I directors of the Board of Directors to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2011, and until his successor is duly elected and qualified;
 
  (2)   To ratify the appointment of Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008; and
 
  (3)   To transact any other business as may properly be presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
     Each holder of shares of our common stock outstanding on the close of business on May 19, 2008 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION
     Proxies in the form enclosed are solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxies by the Board of Directors. Any proxy given in response to this solicitation and received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy. If no instructions are given, proxies will be voted
    “FOR” the election of the nominee listed below under “Election of Directors,” and
 
    “FOR” the ratification of Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP as the Company’s independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 2008, and in the discretion of the proxies named on the proxy card with respect to any other matters properly brought before the meeting and any adjournments of the meeting.
     If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for action, the persons named in the proxy will vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment. Any proxy given in response to this solicitation may be revoked by the stockholder at any time before it is exercised by written notification delivered to our Secretary, by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, or by delivering another proxy bearing a later date. Attendance by a stockholder at the Annual Meeting does not alone serve to revoke his or her proxy.

1


 

QUORUM
     The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. A proxy submitted by a stockholder may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by such proxy are not being voted with respect to a particular matter. Similarly, a broker may not be permitted to vote stock (“broker non-vote”) held in street name on a particular matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of such stock. The shares subject to a proxy which are not being voted on a particular matter will not be considered shares entitled to vote on such matter. These shares, however, may be considered present and entitled to vote on other matters and will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
Who Can Vote?
     You can vote your shares of Common Stock if our records show that you owned the shares on the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, a total of 11,876,555 shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote on matters presented at the Annual Meeting.
How do I Vote by Proxy?
     Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to vote on each proposal to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Sign and date the proxy card and mail it back to us in the enclosed envelope.
     The enclosed proxy, when properly signed and returned to the Company, will be voted by the proxy holders at the Annual Meeting as directed by the proxy. Proxies which are signed by stockholders but which lack any such specification will be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting.
What if Other Matters Come up at the Annual Meeting?
     The matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters we know of that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented at the meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares as they see fit.
Can I Change My Vote After I Return My Proxy Card?
     Yes. A proxy card may be revoked by a stockholder at any time before its exercise at the Annual Meeting by giving Alwin Tan, our Chief Executive Officer, a written notice revoking your proxy card, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person.
Can I Vote in Person at the Annual Meeting Rather Than by Completing the Proxy Card?
     Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person.
How Are Votes Counted?
     We will hold the Annual Meeting if holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in person or by proxy either sign and return their proxy cards or attend the meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card.

2


 

     The election of the director under Proposal 1 will be by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Proposal 2 shall be approved upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise stated, the enclosed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon.
     Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted only for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Broker non-votes occur when a broker returns a proxy but does not have the authority to vote on a particular proposal.
Who Pays for This Proxy Solicitation?
     We do. In addition to sending you these materials, we may contact you by telephone, by mail, by fax, by email, or in person. No one will receive any extra compensation for doing this, except that the Company may engage a paid proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation. We will pay any proxy solicitor a reasonable and customary fee plus expenses for the those services.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSALS
What Proposals are Stockholders Being Asked to Consider at the Upcoming Annual Meeting?
     In proposal 1, we are seeking the election of one (1) director to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company comprising all of the Class I directors of the Board of Directors to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2011, and thereafter until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
     In proposal 2, we are seeking ratification of the appointment of Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP as the Company’s independent auditors.
Why is China Healthcare Acquisition Corp. Seeking Stockholder Approval for these Proposals?
      PROPOSAL NO. 1 : The Delaware General Corporate Law requires corporations to hold elections for directors. Under our articles of incorporation, the office of the member of Class I of our directors is required to be elected this year.
      PROPOSAL NO. 2 : The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent auditors during fiscal year 2008. The Company elects to have its stockholders ratify such appointment.
OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
     Stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof, are stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date. Persons who are not stockholders of record on the Record Date will not be allowed to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date there were 11,876,555 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. We have issued no other voting securities as of the Record Date. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
     None.
Board Meetings and Committees
     The Board met on two occasions during the year ended December 31, 2007 and acted by written consent on one occasion. Except for Larry Liou, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board; and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served. There is one committee of the Board: the Audit Committee.
     Each director is expected to make reasonable efforts to attend Board meetings, committee meetings of which such director is a member and the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
      Audit Committee
     The current members of the Audit Committee are James Ma, Larry Liou and Ron Harrod. The Audit Committee is governed by a charter, which was adopted on July 11, 2006. A copy of the charter was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our registration statement (File 333-135705).
     The Board has determined that Audit Committee member Ron Harrod satisfies the American Stock Exchange’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
      Report of the Audit Committee
     The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the Company’s financial and accounting operations. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the criteria for being “independent” set forth under AMEX Rule P. 10,021, Sec. 121. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Committee met on three occasions.
     In discharging its responsibility for oversight of the audit process, the Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors, Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP, a formal written statement describing any relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors’ independence consistent with the Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and discussed with the auditors any relationships that might impact the auditors’ objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence.
     The Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors the communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees” and discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors’ examination of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
     The Committee reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, with management and the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for examination of those statements. Based upon the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the SEC.

      Pre-Approval of Services
     All audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s independent accountant must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may delegate to one member of the committee the authority to grant pre-approvals with respect to non-audit services. For audit services, each year the independent accountant provides the Audit Committee with an engagement letter outlining the scope of proposed audit services to be performed during the year, which must be formally accepted by the Committee before the audit commences. The independent accountant also submits an audit services fee proposal, which also must be approved by the Committee before the audit commences.
      Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
     Prior to the formation of a nominating committee, a majority of independent directors shall select, or recommend to the full Board for selection, all nominees to the Board.
      Compensation Committee
     Prior to the formation of a compensation committee, a majority of independent directors shall determine, or recommend to the full Board for determination, the compensation to be paid to our executive officers, to the extent that our executive officers are entitled to receive compensation.
Compensation of Directors
     We do not provide cash or other compensation to our directors for their services as members of the Board or for attendance at Board or committee meetings. However, our directors will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
Code of Ethics
     We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the American Stock Exchange. The Code is available on our corporate website at www.chacq.com and may also be requested in print, without charge, by writing to: China Healthcare Acquisition Corp., 1233 Encino Drive, Pasadena, CA 91108, Attn: Corporate Secretary.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
     None of our executive officers or directors has to date received any cash compensation for services rendered. Since April 19, 2007 (the effective date of the registration statement for our initial public offering), we have paid NCIL, an affiliate of Alwin Tan, a fee of $5,000 per month for providing us with certain limited administrative, technical and secretarial services, as well as the use of certain limited office space. This arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Alwin Tan compensation in lieu of a salary. No other executive officer or director has a relationship with or interest in NCIL.

7


 

     Other than this $5,000 per month fee, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, has been or will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, our officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination. However, our initial stockholders and their affiliates have been and will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.
     Other than the agreement with NCIL, there are no current agreements or understandings with any of our existing stockholders or any of their respective affiliates with respect to the payment of compensation of any kind subsequent to a business combination. However, there can be no assurance that such agreements may not be negotiated in connection with, or subsequent to, a business combination.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
     Currently, we do not maintain any compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.
Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-end
     There were no outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end.
Option Exercises and Stock Vested
     There have been no exercises of stock options, SARs or similar instruments, or vesting of stock, including restricted stock, restricted stock units or similar instruments, during fiscal year 2007 by any named executive officer.
Pension Benefits
     We do not sponsor any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans.
Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Other Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans
     We do not maintain any non-qualified defined contribution or deferred compensation plans.

In January, 2007, 375,000 of the shares were surrendered. The following chart shows the ownership resulting from these transactions:

     Since April 19, 2007 (the effective date of the registration statement for our initial public offering), we have paid NCIL, an affiliate of Alwin Tan, a fee of $5,000 per month for providing us with certain limited administrative, technical and secretarial services, as well as the use of certain limited office space.
     On April 25, 2007, our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,500,000 units of the Company was consummated. Immediately prior to the IPO, we completed a private placement to our Chairman of 3,000,000 warrants, generating gross proceeds of $1,500,000.
     At the closing of our initial public offering, our Chairman loaned $150,000 to us at an interest rate of 4% per year. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, $150,000 of principal was outstanding and $6,000 in interest had accrued. On April 25, 2008, the Company repaid all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest ($156,000).
     The existing stockholders have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution occurring upon our failure to consummate a business combination, but only with respect to those shares of common stock acquired by them prior to this offering. In addition, in connection with the vote required for our initial business combination, all of our existing stockholders, including all of our officers, directors and special advisors, have agreed to vote all of the shares of common stock owned by them, during or after this offering, in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
     Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class consisting of Larry Liou will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders.

11


 

     One (1) director nominee, Larry Liou is seeking to be elected at the Annual Meeting, to hold office until the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified. Management expects that the nominee will be available for election, but if he is not a candidate at the time the election occurs, it is intended that such proxy will be voted for the election of another nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors to fill any such vacancy.
     See also “Management of the Company.”
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote for the election of the nominated director. Unless otherwise specified in the form of proxy, the proxies solicited by the management will be voted “FOR” the election of the candidate. The election of director requires a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present and voting at the Meeting.
PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
     On January 14, 2008, the Audit Committee dismissed Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (“GGK”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and appointed Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin, LLP (“GPKM”), independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee has further directed that management submit the selection of independent accountants for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. GPKM has no financial interest in the Company and neither it nor any member or employee of the firm has had any connection with the Company in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee. The Delaware General Corporate Law does not require the ratification of the selection of independent accountants by the Company’s stockholders, but in view of the importance of the financial statements to the stockholders, the Board of Directors deems it advisable that the stockholders pass upon such selection. A representative of GPKM is not expected to be present at this year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
     In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of GPKM, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors in their discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

     During the period from June 7, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2007 and through January 14, 2008, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and GGK on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GGK, would have caused GGK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

12


 

     During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and through the period prior to the engagement of GPKM, the Company did not consult with GPKM on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and GPKM did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that GPKM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
