ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
CORPORATE HISTORY
All State Properties L.P., a limited partnership (the “Partnership”) was organized under the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of Delaware on April 27, 1984 to conduct the business formerly carried on by its predecessor corporation, All State Properties, Inc. (the “Corporation”); and together with the Partnership, the “Company”. In March 2007 Hubei Longdan (Delaware), Inc. (“Longdan Delaware” and “Subsidiary”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Longdan Delaware had only nominal assets and no liabilities and had conducted no activities except in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement. The Company together with Longdan Delaware referred to herein as the “Registrant”. Pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation adopted by shareholders of the Corporation on September 30, 1984, the Corporation transferred substantially all of its assets to the Partnership, and the Corporation distributed such limited partnership interests to its shareholders. The Registrant was engaged since inception in land development and the construction and sale of residential housing in various parts of the eastern United States and in Argentina with its most recent transactions being in Florida.
Since August 1999, the Company’s only business has been the ownership of a member interest of approximately 35% in Tunicom LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tunicom”). An affiliate of Tunicom was engaged in the ownership and operation of an adult rental apartment complex until the sale of the apartment complex in August 2000. Since that time, Tunicom’s only business was activities relating to its attempts to sell its only remaining asset, five acres of commercial and residential land in Broward County, Florida (the “Remaining Property”). For a description of the sale of the Remaining Property by Tunicom and the liquidating distribution by the Company, see Item 1(b)(i). Following the completion of the transactions described in Item 1(b)(ii) the Company became a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) because it has no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets (other than cash). In March 2007, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement which contemplates a reverse merger with a private operating Chinese pharmaceutical company provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including approval of the transaction by its partners (See Item 1(b)(ii)).
On November 2, 2007, the Company terminated the Acquisition Agreement based on the breach of its terms by Longdan.
On December 20, 2007, Belmont Partners, LLC (“Belmont”), a Virginia limited liability company, entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company and Stanley R. Rosenthal, an individual resident of the State of Florida ("Rosenthal").
On March 3, 2008, Greenwich Holdings LLC (“Greenwich”), a New York limited liability company, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and Joseph Meuse, as General Partner of the Company and a Managing Member of Belmont Partners, LLC (“Belmont”), a Virginia limited liability company.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Belmont (the “Seller”), sold to Greenwich (the “Buyer”) fifty and one one-thousandth percent (50.001%) of the issued and outstanding partnership units (“Units”), which shall be not more than nine million Units (9,000,000) of the Company for one hundred eighty eight thousand U.S. dollars ($188,000.00). In conjunction with the Agreement, brokers in the transaction received 1,150,000 units and Garry McHenry received 200,000 units as compensation as the new general partner. Greenwich then received their 50.001% or 4,471,000 Units of the Company. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding Units issued totaled 8,809,065.

On May 29, 2008, our predecessor, All State Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ASP”), and All State Properties Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ASP (“ASPH”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. On May 29, 2008, ASP merged with and into ASPH, so that ASP and ASPH became a single corporation named All State Properties Holdings, Inc. (the “Surviving Corporation”), which is a corporation and exists under, and is governed by, the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Merger”)
As a result of the Merger, all of the assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of ASP became vested in, held and enjoyed by the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation assumed all of the obligations of ASP and we changed our name from “All State Properties, L.P.” to “All State Properties Holdings, Inc.”
Upon the effectiveness and as a result of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of ASPH became the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
In addition, each share of common stock of ASP that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into 1 issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (“Common Stock”), so that the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ASP immediately prior to the Merger are the holders of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. All shares of ASPH owned by ASP immediately prior to the Merger were surrendered to the Surviving Corporation and cancelled.
All State Properties Holdings, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2008. All State Properties Holdings, Inc. was to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign private business. The company not commenced planned principal operations.
On November 10, 2020, the majority of the shareholders and board of directors of the Registrant approved a name change for the Registrant to Petro U.S.A., Inc. to reflect a change in the business to become an operator of truck stops and travel centers in the United States, offering diesel fuel and gasoline, full service and fast-food restaurants, maintenance and repair service for trucks, and groceries and convenience goods, among other products and services.
The Company has a June 30 year end. As of June 30, 2021, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock totaled 30.920.
(i) Remaining Property Sale
On December 19, 2006, Tunicom sold the Remaining Property and thereafter distributed the net sales proceeds to its members, including the Company, as a final liquidating distribution. After payment of certain debt and after setting aside a reserve for expenses, the Company distributed the remaining cash to its partners. Following the distribution, the Company has no assets.

On March 14, 2007, the Company, Longdan Delaware, Longdan and Longdan International Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of Nevis (“Longdan International”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Longdan International and an indirect interest in Longdan and the shareholders of Longdan International will acquire a controlling interest in the Company.
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, it is contemplated that the Company will convert from a Delaware limited partnership to a newly-formed Delaware corporation to be called Longdan International Holdings, Inc. (“LIH”) and Longdan International will merge with and into Longdan Delaware. At the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), the shareholders of Longdan will be issued shares representing approximately eighty nine percent (89%) of the capital stock of the Company and the Company’s shareholders will hold shares representing approximately eleven percent (11%) of the capital stock of the Company, in each case, on an “as if converted basis”.
Longdan had agreed to pay all costs associated with the Acquisition, including legal fees incurred in connection with the related corporate law transactions and required filings under the securities laws, and had also agreed to pay for any costs incurred by the Company in connection with maintaining its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after June 30, 2007.

To the extent Belmont pays any Legal Expenses in accordance with the above, the Company agrees that any such amount shall be added to the Loan as additional principal thereunder. Immediately upon execution of this Agreement, Belmont loaned to the Company four thousand dollars ($4,000.00) to be applied against the Legal Expenses.
In fiscal 2008, Stanley Rosenthal and Richard Astley surrendered 100,000 and 29,950 partnership units, respectively, back to the company. The return of the units was related to the dismissal of notes receivable in fiscal 2007. The notes receivable was non-recourse and payable solely from the Company’s distributions.
