In 2005,
Willsky acquired a 99% shareholding in SingOcean, which was formed in the PRC as
an equity joint venture to be operated for a period of 50 years until January
18, 2054, with registered capital of $4,500,000 (RMB31,897,000). SingOcean set

On
September 16, 2008, our SingOcean subsidiary entered into an Equity Swap
Agreement with Mr. Xiu Hai Tian, whereby we acquired from Mr. Xiu

ownership in Hunchun Sing Ocean. The parties to the Equity Swap
Agreement determined that the value of the 49% interest in Chensheng and the 99%
interest in Hunchun Sing Ocean were approximately equal and therefore there was
no cash or other consideration exchanged.
On
December 10, 2008, we entered into an Agreement for Equity Transfer with the
holders of the remaining 51% ownership interest in Chensheng. The Agreement was
consummated on December 30, 2008 and CNER purchased the remaining 51% of

$1,840,000 (RMB12,560,000). As a result, the Company owns 51% of Chensheng and
our 99%-owned subsidiary SingOcean owns 49% of Chensheng and thus the Group
ultimately owns 99.5% of Chensheng.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This
basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of our subsidiaries in
China, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and
relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the
PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the
financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
(b)
Use of Estimates
In
preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Significant
Estimates
These
consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on
management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate
to revenue recognition of gas connection contracts, depreciation of property,
plant and equipment, the valuation allowance for deferred taxes, impairment
testing of intangible assets, the fair value of derivative instrument

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-continued
(
e) Revenue
Recognition
Among the
accounting policies adopted by the Group, the most critical one is the policy
regarding revenue recognition of the Group’s major sources of income from gas
connection services and sales of gases. In accordance with FASB ASC 650-10-S99
Revenue Recognition
,
all of the following criteria must be met in order for us to recognize
revenue:
|
1.
|
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
2.
|
Delivery
has occurred or services have been
rendered;
|
|
3.
|
The
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
and
|
|
4.
|
Collectibility
is reasonably assured.
|
Gas
connection revenue
Gas
connection revenue is recognized when the outcome of a contract can be estimated
reliably and the stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured
reliably.
Revenue
from gas connection contracts is recognized on the percentage of completion
method, measured by reference to the value of work carried out during the year.
When the outcome of a gas connection contract cannot be estimated reliably,
revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is
probable will be recoverable.
When the
outcome of a gas connection contract can be estimated reliably and the stage of
contract completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably, contract
costs are charged to the income statement by reference to the stage of
completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date on the same basis
as revenue from the gas connection contract is recognized.
When the
outcome of a gas connection contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract
costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When
it is probable that total contract costs will exceed contract revenue, the
expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Where
contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses
exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as an amount due from customers
for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs
incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is
shown as an amount due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before
the related work is performed are included in the consolidated balance sheet, as
a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet
paid by the customer are included in the consolidated balance sheet under trade
and other receivables.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, all the contracts for connection
services were started and completed in the same period.
Revenue
from sale of gas
Sales
revenue from the sale of gas represents the invoiced value of goods sold, net of
value-added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from the sale of gas is recognized when the
goods are delivered and title has passed.
All of
the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese
value-added tax of 3% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT
paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of
producing their finished product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT
receivable net of payments in the financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-continued
(f)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Group
records and discloses certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
at their fair value. The fair value of an asset is the price at which the asset
could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated, knowledgeable and
willing parties able to engage in the transaction. A liability’s fair value is
defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new
obligor in a transaction between such parties, not the amount that would be paid
to settle the liability with the creditor.
Assets
and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
These tiers include:
|
Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
|
|
Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
either directly or indirectly observable;
and
|
|
Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data
exists, therefore requiring the Group to develop its own
assumptions.
|
Our
derivative instrument liabilities are recorded at fair value. Our financial
instruments that are recorded at cost include cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, accounts receivable, receivables related to subsidiaries sold,
deposits for acquisitions, accounts payable, accrued expenses, dividends
payable, and other current liabilities. We believe the carrying values of these
financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term
nature.
(g)
New accounting pronouncements
Fair
Value Measurements
In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements
related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance
requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and
Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the
timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and
settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities
measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The guidance is
effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for
annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company
adopted this guidance at January 1, 2010, except for the Level 3 reconciliation
disclosures on the rollforward activities, which it will adopt at the beginning
of January 1, 2011. Adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
Receivables
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-18,
Receivables (Topic 310), Effect of a
Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of A Pool That Is Accounted for as a
Single Asset
. ASU
2010-18 provides that
modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic
310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the
modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a trouble debt
restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the
pool of assets in which the loans are included is impaired if expected cash
flows for the pool change. This guidance is effective prospectively for the
first interim and annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance without a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

description of further accounting policies, please see the December 31, 2009

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record
on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. Subject to the prior rights
of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be
outstanding, if any, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably,
dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds
legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment
of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on
the preferred stock, if any. As long as any shares of our Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock are outstanding, the terms of those instruments prohibit us from
paying dividends on the Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive
rights and have no rights to convert their Common Stock into any other
securities. The outstanding Common Stock is duly authorized and
validly issued, fully-paid, and non-assessable.
Except as
otherwise required by Delaware law, and subject to the rights of the holders of
preferred stock, all stockholder action is taken by the vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock present at a meeting of stockholders at
which a quorum consisting of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock is present in person or by proxy. However, for so long as the number of
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is at least 30% of the total
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock originally issued, the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the
Company’s Common Stock, and the holders of any other class or series of shares
entitled to vote with the Common Stock, with the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock being entitled to 70% of the total votes on all such matters regardless of
the actual number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, and
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock being entitled to their
proportional share of the remaining 30% of the total votes based on their

connection with the August 20, 2008 private placement described in Note 13,
the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and

Dividends
The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative
dividends at a rate of 6% per annum of the stated price paid per share of $4.83,
compounded daily and payable semi-annually on June 1 and December
1. Dividends are payable in shares of Common Stock or, at the option of the
Company, in cash. If paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares to be
issued is determined by dividing the dividend payable by 90% of the
volume-weighted average price for the 20 days preceding the dividend payment
date of June 1 or December 1. As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are outstanding, the Company may not declare or pay dividends with respect to
the Common Stock.

Rights
In
addition to the right to vote as a separate class of securities, the holders of
the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the
Company’s Common Stock, with each such holder of Series A Preferred Stock
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock in to which such Series A Preferred Stock would be converted if
converted on the record date for the taking of a vote. However, for so long as
the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is at least 30% of
the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock originally issued, the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the

Upon any

Conversion
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible, at any time at the
option of the holder, into 35 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to
future adjustments as provided for in the Certificate. The Series A Preferred
Stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock
immediately prior to any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the
Company. Further, provided there is an effective registration statement covering
the shares to be received on conversion, the Company may require conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock if the volume-weighted average price for at least
20 trading days in any consecutive 30 day period equals or exceeds twice the
conversion price and the trading volume on each day in the 30 day period has
equaled or exceeded 100,000 shares.
The
conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock will be adjusted for standard
anti-dilution events, including stock dividends or stock splits or
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock. For as long as any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not enter into any
Variable Rate Transactions or Most Favored Nation transactions. If the Company
does enter into a Variable Rate Transaction, in which it issues debt or equity
securities that are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion or
exercise price that is based upon or varies with the trading price for shares of
the Common Stock or enters into a Most Favored Nation transaction in which the
Company issues any securities in a capital raising transaction or series of
transactions on terms more favorable than those granted to the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to adjustment of the conversion price and to receive additional shares
or other rights. Furthermore, if the Company issues (except in an underwritten
public offering approved by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in which the
gross proceeds to the Company are not less than $20 million) any shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price
which is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price
will be reduced to that lower price.
As long
as 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company
may not issue any other preferred stock (except for the issuance of Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the agreements
under which those Series were originally issued) or any convertible debt
convertible into Common Stock, without the consent of the holders of outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

B Convertible Preferred Stock
On April
30, 2009, the Company entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Securities Purchase Agreement with China Hand, as described in Note 13. In
connection with this private placement, the Company filed a Certificate of
Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
designating 2,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2010 and

The
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at
a rate of 6% per annum of the stated price paid per share of $4.837, compounded
daily and payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each
year. Dividends are payable in shares of Common Stock or, at the option of the
Company, in cash. If paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares to be
issued is determined by dividing the dividend payable by 90% of the
volume-weighted average price for the 20 days preceding the dividend payment
date of June 1 or December 1. As long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock
are outstanding, the Company may not declare or pay dividends with respect to
the Common Stock.
Voting
Rights
In
addition to the right to vote as a separate class of securities, the holders of
the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the
Company’s Common Stock, with each such holder of Preferred Stock entitled to the
number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in
to which such Preferred Stock would be converted if converted on the record date
for the taking of a vote. For so long as the number of outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock is at least 30% of the total number of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders
of the Company’s Common Stock, and the holders of any other class or series of
shares entitled to vote with the Common Stock, with the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement being entitled to
70% of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, and the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock and Common Stock being entitled to their proportional share of
the remaining 30% of the total votes based on their respective voting
power.

Derivative financial instruments - warrants
In
connection with the sale of its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock to China Hand, an accredited investor, the Company issued Common Stock
warrants to China Hand and to the Company’s placement agent.
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40-15-5
Derivatives and Hedging
(formerly EITF Issue 07-5). Because the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollars
whereas the Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi, the warrants are not
considered to be indexed only to the Company’s Common Stock. Furthermore, the
warrants contain full ratchet anti-dilution protection requiring the exercise
price of the warrants to be reduced in the event that the Company issues
securities in the future at a lower price. Accordingly, the warrants do not
qualify for the exemption from being accounted for as derivative financial
instruments provided by FASB ASC 815-10-15-74. In addition, because the warrants
contain a provision requiring the Company to re-purchase the warrants from the
investor in certain circumstances, the Company has concluded that the warrants
issued in 2008 should be accounted for as derivative financial instruments from
the time they were originally issued.
Derivative
instruments are recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each period until
they are exercised or expire, with any change in the fair value charged or
credited to income each period. Because these warrants do not trade in an active
securities market, we estimate their fair value using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein
(“CRR”) binomial model.
On August
20, 2008, the fair value of the 13,001,608 warrants issued to China Hand in
connection with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $1,968,182 and the
fair value of the 6,500,804 warrants issued to the placement agent was $984,091.
The fair values were based on the five year life of the warrants, the exercise
price of $0.187, estimated volatility of 66%, a risk free interest rate of 3%
and an assumed dividend rate of 0%.
On May 1,
2009, the fair value of the 7,814,719 warrants issued to China Hand in
connection with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was $3,246,693 and the
fair value of the 3,907,358 warrants issued to the placement agent was
$1,623,346. The fair values were computed using the CRR model, based on the five
year life of the warrants, the exercise price of $0.187, estimated volatility of
90%, a risk free interest rate of 2.03% and an assumed dividend rate of
0%.
At June
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the warrants was $6,476,070
and $6,768,106, respectively, based on the following assumptions:

Because
of the limited trading history of the Company’s Common Stock, expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of a similar U.S. public
company with a longer trading history. The Company has no reason to believe that
the future volatility of its Common Stock over the remaining life of these
warrants will differ materially from this estimate. The expected life of the
warrants is based on their remaining term. Risk-free interest rates are based on
published rates for U.S. Treasury securities for the remaining term of the
warrants. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current and
expected dividend policy.
The
Company recognized a loss of $107,680 from the change in fair value of
these warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and a gain of
$13,688,558 from the change in fair value for the three months ended June
30, 2009. The Company recognized a gain of $292,036 from the change in fair
value of these warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and a gain
of $1,976,044 from the change in fair value for the six months ended June
30, 2009.

We follow
the guidance in FASB ASC 740
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes
. We have not taken any uncertain tax positions on any of
our open income tax returns filed through the period ended June 30,
2010. Our methods of accounting are based on established income tax
principles and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax
returns. In addition, we have timely filed extension of income tax
returns in all applicable jurisdictions in which we believe we are required to
make an income tax return filing.
We
re-assess the validity of our conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a
quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might
cause us to change our judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s
sustainability under audit. We have determined that there were no
uncertain tax positions for the six months June 30, 2010 and
2009.

Earnings Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of
securities by including other potential common stock, including convertible
preferred stock, stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. The numerators
and denominators used in the computations of basic and dilutive earnings per
share are presented in the following table:

Concentrations and Credit Risk
Cash -
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state
owned banks within the PRC. The Group considers all highly liquid instruments
purchased with original maturities of three months or less, and money market
accounts, to be cash equivalents. Total cash in these banks at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 amounted to $262,728 and $2,672,884, respectively, of which no
deposits were covered by insurance. Also, as of both June 30, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the Group held $131,930 in restricted cash in a corporate legal
counsel’s trust account, in accordance with an agreement with investors to
restrict use of the funds to pay preferred stock dividends and investor relation
expenses. Nonperformance by these institutions could expose the Group to losses
not covered by insurance. Management reviews the financial condition of these
institutions on a periodic basis. The Group has not incurred any
losses on these accounts from nonperformance by the aforementioned
institutions.
Major
customers – For the three months ended June 30, 2010, four customers accounted
for approximately 99% of the Company’s sales. For the six months ended June 30,
2010, four customers accounted for approximately 62% of the Company’s sales and
two customers accounted for approximately 27% of the Company’s accounts
receivable as of June 30, 2010.
For the

accounted for approximately 30% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June
30, 2009.
Major
suppliers – For the three months ended June 30, 2010, three suppliers accounted
for approximately 95% of the Company’s purchase’s. For the six months ended June

suppliers accounted for approximately 52% of the Company’s accounts payable as
of June 30, 2009.
Political
and economic risks - The Group's operations are carried out in the PRC.
Accordingly, the Group's business, financial condition, and results of
operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments
in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Group's
operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant
risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western
Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political,
economic, and legal environments, and foreign currency exchange. The Group's
results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with
respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion
and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among
others.
The Group
does not require collateral to support financial instruments that are subject to
credit risk.
Environmental
Matters - The Group does not anticipate any material future cash requirements
related to environmental issues. If circumstances change, the Group will record
the estimated charges necessary to return sites to their original
condition.

Overview
of Our Business
We are a
natural gas company engaged in the development of natural gas distribution
networks, and the distribution of natural gas to residential, industrial and
commercial customers in small and medium sized cities in China.
We
currently own the exclusive rights to develop distribution networks to provide
natural gas to industrial, commercial and residential consumers in the cities of
Nandaihe
,
Zhanhua, and
Shangrao. Currently, these distribution networks provide natural gas to an
aggregate of approximately 26,000 consumers in these cities.
We
procure our natural gas by purchasing natural gas from third-party suppliers.
Once natural gas is extracted by the supplier, all water content and impurities
are removed. Natural gas is then delivered by truck to either (1) our
natural gas supply stations, where the gas is either depressurized and then
delivered to households through pipelines or delivered directly to customers in
pressurized tanks, or (2) to gas stations where the gas is sold for use in motor
vehicles.
Our major
business activities include development and construction of local gas
distribution networks, transportation of natural gas from suppliers to our
storage facilities in a given operational location, and operating and
maintaining the gas distribution networks.
Our
Current Organizational Structure
China New
Energy Group Company was incorporated on March 28, 2008 in the state of Delaware
USA, under the name of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. On May 27, 2008,
Travel Hunt changed its name to China New Energy Group Company in connection
with a share exchange transaction as described below.
Willsky
(Willsky Development
Ltd)
was incorporated on May 31, 2005 in the British Virgin Islands. On
March 28, 2008, Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. completed a reverse acquisition
transaction with Willsky whereby Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. issued to the
shareholder of Willsky 94,908,650 shares of its common stock in exchange for all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Willsky. Simultaneous with the
consummation of the share exchange, the shareholder of Willsky, Eternal
International Holding Group Ltd, a Hong Kong corporation, or Eternal
International, distributed 85,417,785 shares of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc.
common stock as a dividend. Accordingly, following this distribution, Eternal
International beneficially owns approximately 9.49% of Travel Hunt Holdings,
Inc. outstanding capital stock. Willsky thereby became Travel Hunt Holdings,
Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Willsky became
Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. controlling stockholders.
Concurrently
with the reverse merger, Fountainhead (Fountainhead Capital Management Limited)
and La Pergola (La Pergola Investments Limited), the previously existing
shareholders of Travel Hunt, surrendered to the Company a total of 2,000,000
shares of the common stock of the Company for cancellation in exchange for
$660,000 payable through the delivery of a six month Convertible Promissory
Note. After surrender, the existing shareholders retained 5,091,391 shares of
our common stock.
After the
reverse acquisition, the total common stock issued and outstanding of the
Company as of December 31, 2008 was 100,000,041 shares.
This
transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization
of the Company whereby Willsky is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal
acquiree) and the Company the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The
historical financial statements for periods prior to March 28, 2008 are those of
Willsky, except that the equity section and earnings per share have been
retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition.
In 2005,
Willsky acquired 99% of the equity of SingOcean which was formed in the PRC as
an equity joint venture to be operated for a period of 50 years until January
18, 2054 with registered capital of $4.5 million (RMB31,897,000).

September 16, 2008, we, through our 99%-owned subsidiary SingOcean,
entered into an Equity Swap Agreement with Mr. Xiu Hai Tian, whereby we
acquired from
Mr. Xiu a 49%
ownership interest in Chensheng, in exchange for our 99% ownership in
Hunchun SingOcean. The parties to the Equity Swap Agreement
determined that the value of the 49% interest in Chensheng and the 99% interest
in Hunchun Sing Ocean were approximately equal and therefore there was no cash
or other consideration involved in the transaction from either
party.
On
December 10, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement for Equity Transfer
with the holders of the remaining 51% outstanding equity in
Chensheng. Pursuant to the Agreement for Equity Transfer, the Company
agreed to purchase the remaining 51% of the outstanding equity of Chensheng from
17 individuals for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 12.56 million
(approximately $1.84 million). The transaction was consummated on
December 30, 2008, following which the Company now owns 51% of the equity of
Chensheng, and Tianjin Sing Ocean now owns 49% of the equity of
Chensheng.
On
January 12, 2009, Tianjin Investment was established in the PRC and engaged in
the business of investment holding.
On
January 23, 2009, Yingkou Zhongneng was established in the PRC and operates a
natural gas distribution network in the city of Dashiqiao. On March 17, 2010, we
entered into an agreement to sell our interest in Yingkou
Zhongneng.
On June
26, 2009, Binhai Zhongneng was established. Through our 99.5%-owned subsidiary,
Chensheng contributed $1,462,501 (RMB10,000,000) in cash representing 60.6% of
the shareholding of Binhai Zhongneng and, through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
SingOcean contributed $950,626 (RMB6,500,000) in assets representing 39.4% of
the shareholding of Binhai Zhongneng. As a result, the group holds 100% of
Binhai Zhongneng.
On
December 12, 2009, Chensheng, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into
an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity
interest of Zhanhua Jiutai from the 5 shareholders of Zhanhua Jiutai. Under this
Agreement, Chensheng agreed to purchase 100% of the outstanding equity interest
of Zhanhua Jiutai from the Zhanhua Jiutai Shareholders for a total purchase
price of $2,413,259 (RMB 16,500,000).
On
December 16, 2009, the Company entered into an Equity Interest Purchase
Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest of Wuyuan from
Flying Dragon Investment Management Limited. Under this Agreement, the Company
agreed to purchase 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Wuyuan for a total
purchase price of $877,552 (RMB 6,000,000), which purchase price is based on an
appraised value of Wuyuan as of September 30, 2009.
Critical Accounting
Policies
Accounting
policies discussed in this section are those that we consider to be most
critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently
involve significant judgment and uncertainties. For all of these
estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and
the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
Revenue
Recognition
Among the
accounting policies adopted by the Group, the most critical one is the policy
regarding revenue recognition of the Group’s major sources of income, namely,
gas connection services and sales of gases. In accordance with the SEC's Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, under this policy, all of the following
criteria must be met in order for us to recognize revenue:
1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists;
2. Delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered;
3. The seller's price to the buyer is fixed
or determinable; and
4. Collectibility is reasonably
assured.
Gas
connection revenue
Gas
connection revenue is recognized when the outcome of a contract can be estimated
reliably and the stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured
reliably.
Revenue
from gas connection contracts is recognized on the percentage of completion
method, measured by reference to the value of work carried out during the year.
When the outcome of a gas connection contract cannot be estimated reliably,
revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is
probable will be recoverable.
When the
outcome of a gas connection contract can be estimated reliably and the stage of
contract completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably, contract
costs are charged to the income statement by reference to the stage of
completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date on the same basis
as revenue from the gas connection contract is recognized.
When the
outcome of a gas connection contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract
costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When
it is probable that total contract costs will exceed contract revenue, the
expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Where
contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses
exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as an amount due from customers
for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs
incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is
shown as an amount due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before
the related work is performed are included in the consolidated balance sheet, as
a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet
paid by the customer are included in the consolidated balance sheet under trade
and other receivables.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, all the contracts for
connection services were started and completed.
Revenue
from sale of gas
Sales
revenue from sale of gas represents the invoiced value of goods sold, net of
value-added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from sale of gas is recognized when the goods
are delivered and title has passed.
All of
the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese
value-added tax of 3% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT
paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of
producing their finished product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT
receivable net of payments in the financial statements.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates
Significant
Estimates
These
consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on
management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate
to revenue recognition of gas connection contracts, depreciation of property,
plant and equipment, the valuation allowance for deferred taxes, impairment
testing of intangible assets and various contingent liabilities. It is
reasonably possible that the above-mentioned estimates and others may be
adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could
be significant in future reporting periods.
Reportable
Operating Segments
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, we had sales revenue of $2.40 million of
which $2.35 million, or 98%, was from connection services while $0.05
million, or 2%, was from gas sales.
Our
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was mainly contributed by the
connection services segment as we concentrate our efforts to provide our
services to property developers. Thus, the gas consumption will begin
when the properties are sold in the market. Currently, the volume of
gas sales to connected households is not high.This phenomenon does affect our
revenue structure.
Second
Quarter Financial Performance Highlights
The
following are some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2010 (MM
represents million):
Reve
nues
: Our
revenues were $0.69 MM for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 29%
from the same period of 2009.
Gross
Margin
: Gross margin was 73% for the second quarter of 2010 compared
to gross margin of 63% for the second quarter of 2009, representing a
percentage increase of 10%.
Operating
Expenses
: Operating expenses (including selling, general
and administrative expenses) were $1.26 MM for the second quarter of 2010,
an increase of 136% from the same period of 2009.
Net Income /
(Loss)
: A net loss of $0.94 MM resulted for the second quarter of
2010, while the net income for the same period of 2009 was $14.64 MM. The
decrease of net income was mainly due to: (1) an increase of operating expenses
by $0.72 MM; (2) a change in fair value of warrant liabilities which
resulted in other expenses of $0.11 MM while it resulted in other income of
$13.69 MM for the same period of 2009; and (3) a decrease in income from
discontinued operations by 1.17 MM.
Fully diluted net
income per share
: Fully diluted net loss per share was $0.01 for the
second quarter of 2010, as compared to net income per share of $0.09 for
the same period of 2009.
Taxation
As a
Delaware company, the Company is subject to United States taxation, but no
provision for income taxes was made for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009 as the Company did not have reportable taxable income for the
period.
Willsky,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is subject to BVI taxation, but no
provision for income taxes was made for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009 as Willsky did not have reportable taxable income for the
period.
SingOcean
is subject to the tax laws of the PRC at the prevailing
statutory rate of enterprise income tax of 25%.
Prior to
2009 Chensheng was subject to the tax laws of the PRC being taxed on 0.8%
of annual sales. Starting from January 1, 2009, the tax rate was
changed to 1% on sales. On July 1, 2009, the tax rate was changed to 25%
on net income.
Binhai
Zhongneng is subject to the tax laws of the PRC at the
prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax of 25%.
Zhanhua
is subject to the tax laws of the PRC at the prevailing statutory rate
of enterprise income tax of 25%.
Wuyuan is
subject to the tax laws of the PRC at the prevailing statutory rate of
enterprise income tax of 25%.
On April
22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning
Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled
Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria
of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the
application of the New EIT Law and its implementation with respect to
non-Chinese enterprises or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the
Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by
a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically
incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of
daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its
financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in
China; (iii) its main properties, accounting books, corporate seal, board and
shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) directors with voting rights or
senior management often reside in China. Such resident enterprise
would be subject to an EIT rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a
withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC
shareholders. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable
to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural
person. Nor are detailed measures available on the imposition of tax
on non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises. Therefore, it is unclear
how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each
case.
However,
as our case substantially meets the foregoing criteria, there is a likelihood
that we are deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If
the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC
enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences
could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of
25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as subject to PRC enterprise income
tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as
interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to
PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT
Law and its Implementing Rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries
would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends
will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange
control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued
guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that
are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.
Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new
“resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10%
withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and
with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our
shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise”
treatment and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this
treatment, to the extent possible.

Revenues
. Revenues
are derived primarily from connection fees and sales of natural
gas. Revenues increased $0.15 MM, or 29%, to $0.69 MM for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.54 MM for the same period in 2009. This
increase was mainly attributable to an increase in connection services for an
industry customer.
Cost of
Sales
. Cost of sales consists primarily of connection
costs and purchase of natural gas from our suppliers and
depreciation.
Our cost
of sales decreased by $0.01 MM, or 6%, to $0.19 MM for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 from $0.20 MM during the same period in 2009. Such decrease in
cost while increase in revenues was mainly attributable to increase in an
industry customer which the gross margin is 99%. .
Gross
Profit
.
Our
gross profit increased by $0.17 MM, or 50%, to $0.51 MM for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 from $0.34 MM during the same period in 2009. Gross profit
as a percentage of revenues or gross profit margin, was 73% for the three months
ended June 30, 2010. The gross profit margin during the same period
in 2009 was 63%. Such increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to an
increase of the industry connection services.
Total Operating Expenses
The
total operating expenses consist of two components, the first one is
registration right penalties and the other is general and administrative
expenses (“SG&A”). For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the total
operating expenses were $1.26 MM while the amount was $0.53 MM for the same
period of 2009, or increased by 136%. This increase was mainly due to
the fact that we are expanding our company. Management believes that the
relatively high SG&A expenses will continue as we endeavor to expand
our business.
Loss from opera
tions
Our loss from operations
increased by $0.56 MM, or 283%, to $0.75 MM for the three months ended June 30,
2010 from $0.19 MM during the same period in 2009. This increase was
mainly due to an increase in operating expenses.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Change In Fair Value of Warrant
Liability:
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the change in fair
value of warrant liability was recorded as other expenses of $0.11 MM while the
one incurred in the same period of 2009 was recorded as other income of $13.69
MM.
The
Company adopted a FASB accounting standard, which defines determining whether an
instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own
stock. This accounting standard specifies that a contract that would
otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the
Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement
of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. This FASB accounting standard provides a new
two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an
embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify
for the scope exception.
As a
result of adopting this FASB accounting standard, warrants previously treated as
equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded
equity treatment because the warrants have a downward ratchet provision on the
exercise price. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the
Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these
warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the
warrants are exercised or expired.
On August
20, 2008, the fair value of the 13,001,608 warrants issued with the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to China Hand was $1.97 MM and the fair value of
6,500,804 warrants issued to Kuhns Brothers was $0.98 MM. The fair value was
computed using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (“CRR”) Binomial Model under the
following assumptions: (1) expected life of 5 years, (2) volatility of 90%, (3)
risk free interest rate of 3% and dividend rate of 0%.
On May 1,
2009, the fair value of the 7,814,719 warrants issued with the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to China Hand was $3.25 MM and the fair value of
3,907,358 warrants issued to Kuhns Brothers was $1.62 MM. The fair value was
computed using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (“CRR”) Binomial Model under the
following assumptions: (1) expected life of 5 years, (2) volatility of 90%, (3)
risk free interest rate of 2.03% and dividend rate of 0%.
As
of June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Series A and B Convertible
Preferred Stock was $6.48 MM. Therefore, the Company recognized a $0.11 MM
loss from the change in fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2010
and a $13.69 MM gain from the change in fair value during the same period
in 2009.
Income (loss)
From Continuing Operations, Before
Income Tax
.
Our loss from continuing
operations before income tax increased by $14.34 MM, to $0.85 MM for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 from an income of $13.49 MM during the same
period in 2009. Such increase was mainly due to the fact that the
company recorded a $13.69 MM income from the change in fair value of the
warrants during the period in 2009 according to EITF 07-05.

Transfer Agreement, with Hunan Zhongyouzhiyuan Gas Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, SingOcean agreed to sell to the Purchaser its 100%
equity interest in Yingkou Zhongneng for a cash purchase price of approximately
$3,200,000 (RMB21,900,000). On March 31, 2010, the agreement was
terminated.
On April
2, 2010, SingOcean, our PRC 99%-owned subsidiary, entered into an Equity
Transfer Agreement, with Changsha Yuedu Steel Co., Ltd (the “Purchaser”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, SingOcean agreed to sell to the Purchaser its 100%
equity interest in Yingkou Zhongneng for a cash purchase price of approximately
$3,200,000 (RMB21,900,000). As of June 30, 2010, the Group received part of the
downpayment of $731,000 (RMB5,000,000). And the Group received a further part of
the downpayment of $297,000 (RMB2,000,000) on July 7, 2010.
As of
June 30, 2010, the control of Yingkou still remains in the Group, and therefore,
the Group recorded all the assets and liabilities of Yingkou under the caption
of “Current Assets Held for Sale”, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale” and
“Liabilities Held for Sale”. The operating activity of Yingkou was recorded
under the discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009.
The
following table displays summarized operating activity for the discontinued
operations of Yingkou for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and Yingkou and

Net loss increased by $15.58 MM, to a net loss of $0.94 MM for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, from net income of $14.64 MM for the same period of
2009, which is mainly due to: (1) an increase in operating expenses by
$0.72 MM; and (2) an increase in the loss from the change in fair value of the
warrants $13.80 MM.

Revenues
. Revenues
are derived primarily from connection fees and sales of natural
gas. Revenues increased $1.71 MM, or 246%, to $2.40 MM for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.69 MM for the same period
in 2009. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in number of
connection households for an industry customer.
Cost of
Sales
. Cost of sales consists primarily of connection
costs and purchase of natural gas from our suppliers and
depreciation.
Our cost
of sales increased by $0.37 MM, or 130%, to $0.65 MM for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 from $0.28 MM during the same period in 2009. Such
increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the number of households
connected to our distribution network.
Gross
P
rofit
.
Our gross profit
increased by $1.35 MM, or 324%, to $1.76 MM for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 from $0.41 MM during the same period in
2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues or gross profit
margin, was 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The
gross profit margin during the same period in 2009 was 60%. Such increase in
gross margin was mainly due to 98% of sales revenue was derived from connection
services while 94% of sales revenue was derived from connection services during
the same period in 2009, the gross margin of connection services was higher than
that of gas sales..
Total Operating Expenses
The
total operating expenses consist of two components, the first one is
registration right penalties and the other is general and administrative
expenses (“SG&A”). For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the
total operating expenses were $2.64 MM while the amount was $1.31 MM for the
same period of 2009, or increased by 101%. This increase was mainly
due to the fact that we are expanding our
company. Management believes that the relatively high
SG&A expenses will continue as we endeavor to expand our
business.
Loss from operations
Our loss
from operations decreased by $0.02 MM, or 2%, to $0.88 MM for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.90 MM during the same period in
2009. This decrease in loss from operations was mainly due to an
increase in gross profit which was offset by the increase in operating expenses
of $1.33 MM.
Total
Other Income (Expenses)
Change In Fair Val
ue of Warrant Liability:
For
the six months ended June 30, 2010, the change in fair value of warrant
liability was recorded as other income of $0.29 MM while the one incurred in the
same period of 2009 was $1.98 MM.
The
Company adopted a FASB accounting standard, which defines determining whether an
instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own
stock. This accounting standard specifies that a contract that would
otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the
Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement
of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. This FASB accounting standard provides a new two-step
model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded
feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the
scope exception.
As a
result of adopting this FASB accounting standard, warrants previously treated as
equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded
equity treatment because the warrants have a downward ratchet provision on the
exercise price. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the
Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of
these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the
warrants are exercised or expired.
On August
20, 2008, the fair value of the 13,001,608 warrants issued with the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to China Hand was $1.97 MM and the fair value of
6,500,804 warrants issued to Kuhns Brothers was $0.98 MM. The fair value was
computed using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (“CRR”) Binomial Model under the
following assumptions: (1) expected life of 5 years, (2) volatility of 90%, (3)
risk free interest rate of 3% and dividend rate of 0%.
On May 1,
2009, the fair value of the 7,814,719 warrants issued with the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to China Hand was $3.25 MM and the fair value of
3,907,358 warrants issued to Kuhns Brothers was $1.62 MM. The fair value was
computed using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (“CRR”) Binomial Model under the
following assumptions: (1) expected life of 5 years, (2) volatility of 90%, (3)
risk free interest rate of 2.03% and dividend rate of 0%.
As
of June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Series A and B Convertible
Preferred Stock was $6.48 MM. Therefore, the Company recognized a $0.29 MM
gain from the change in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2010
and a $1.98 MM gain from the change in fair value during the same period in
2009.
Income (loss)
From Continuing Operations, Before
Income Tax.
Our loss from continuing operations before income
tax increased by $1.66 MM to $0.58MM for the six months ended June 30,
2010 from a gain of $1.08 MM during the same period in
2009. Such increase was mainly due to an increase by $1.33 in
operating expenses and a decrease by $1.68 MM in income from the change in
fair value of the warrants according to EITF 07-05.

Operating
Activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $0.11 MM for the six months ended June 30,
2010, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.44 MM during the
same period of 2009. This increase in funds provided by our operating activities
was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in
accruals and other payables.
Investing
Activities
Our main
use of cash in investing activities was mainly for the construction of gas
pipelines and acquisition of assets.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.58 MM
which was a decrease of $2.17 MM from $4.75 MM for the same
period of 2009. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in
the investing activities-discontinued operations..
Financing
Activities
Our debt
(included warrant liabilities) to equity ratio (total debt/total
equity) was 109% as of June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.05 MM, which
is a decrease of $5.16 MM from $5.21 MM during the same period of 2009.
This decrease was mainly due to the contribution from the private
placement consummated on May 1, 2009.
On May 1,
2009, we issued and sold to China Hand 1,116,388 shares of our Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 7,814,719 shares of our
common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.187 per share (subject to
adjustments) exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of
issuance for a purchase price of $5,400,000.
Capital
Expenditures, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingences
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, the company spent about $3.13 MM in capital
expenditures which was mainly for the construction of gas pipelines, gas station
and acquisition. The company settled the payments according to the terms of the
contract and fulfilled its contractual obligations. Other than the
operating leases stated in Note 23 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, we have no other commitments and contingencies. As disclosed in Note
3, the Company is obligated under operating leases to pay minimum lease payments
of approximately $0.35 MM.
Seasonality
Our
pipeline distribution networks are primarily located in northeastern China,
which is extremely cold during the winter months. Additionally, gas consumption
by residential customers is higher in the winter months for heating purposes,
and there is a corresponding increase in usage during winter. However, due to
the cold weather we are unable to construct primary gas pipelines. If
a primary pipeline is already in place, we are able to connect new customers to
our distribution network during this time.
Effects
of Inflation
Our
business, revenues and operating results have not been affected in any material
way by inflation.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
On March
17, 2010, SingOcean, our PRC 99%-owned subsidiary, entered into an Equity
Transfer Agreement with Hunan Zhongyouzhiyuan Gas Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, SingOcean agreed to sell to the Purchaser its 100%
equity interest in Yingkou Zhongneng for a cash purchase price of approximately
$3,200,000 (RMB 21,900,000). The agreement was completed in April 9, 2010 and
the Group received part of the installment of $731,000
(RBM5,000,000).
On March
8, 2010, the Company entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Mr. Tang
Zhixiang to acquire from Mr. Tang a 70% equity interest in Century Dadi, a PRC
company, and a 70% equity interest in its affiliated companies including Dadi
Gas.
Century
Dadi, Dadi Gas and their respective affiliated companies are primarily engaged
in the business of the supply of natural gas and construction and development of
a gas pipeline network in urban areas. The total purchase price has not yet been
determined but will be based on a multiple of the net profits of Century Dadi
and its consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2009, as
determined in accordance with US GAAP consistently applied, capped at
approximately $57,500,000 (RMB392,150,000). The purchase price is payable in
three installments. Each payment is subject to satisfaction of certain
preconditions.
Under the
terms of the Agreement, the parties will open a mutually managed account and we
will deposit approximately $1,466,000 (RMB10,000,000) into that account, to be
applied towards the purchase price.
The
Company paid part of the installment of $731,000 (RBM5,000,000) on April 9, 2010
on the acquisition of Dadi Gas.
The
Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. No significant events occurred subsequent to the balance
sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material
impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
