	NOTE 13.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
	With respect to the DaPuAn and SuTsong mines, the Company estimates the asset retirement obligation at a rate of 3 RMB per ton based on total reserves at the end of the useful lives of the mines. The Company expects to extract approximately 10 million tons of coal over the expected useful lives (29 and 17 years for DaPuAn and SuTsong Mine, respectively).  The interest rate used in the net present value calculation is 7%.
	As for the WeiShe mine, which was acquired in February 2012, management estimates the asset retirement obligation at a rate of 3 RMB per ton based on total reserves at the end of the useful lives of the mine. The Company expects to extract approximately 19 million tons of coal over the expected useful life of thirty years. The interest rate used in the net present value calculation is 8%.
	The LuoZhou and LaShu mines were acquired by the Company in November 2012. According to the mine reservation report, management expects to extract approximately 26.6million tons of coal and 7 million tons of coal from LuoZhou and LaShu over the remaining 30 years, respectively. LuoZhou Mine and LaShu Mine relocated in Guizhou Province and the management estimates the asset retirement obligation at a rate of 3RMB per ton based on total reserves at the end of the useful lives of the mines. The interest rate used in the net present value calculation of LaShu and LuoZhou mines were 29.06% and 27.01%, respectively.
	During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, the Company revised the forecasted cash flows used for the net present value calculations for the DaPuAn and SuTsong mines. The revisions to estimated cash flows pertain to revisions in the estimated amount and timing of required reclamation activities throughout the lives of the respective mines and reflect changes in estimates of closure volumes, disturbed acreages and third-party unit costs as of July 31, 2010. The Company based these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the company is reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from management's estimates. The Company evaluated the forecasted cash flows as of October 31, 2013, and no revision was deemed necessary.
	The following is a summary of the change in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligation during the period ended October 31, 2013 and the year ended April 30, 2013.

	NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
	Acquisitions
	For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Company acquired two businesses in the mining industry. The Company has been actively acquiring smaller coal companies who lack the capital and/or management expertise to maximize growth and safety. The Company will continue to seek opportunities to purchase other mining operations as well as coal washing and coal coking operations. The Company expects to realize operating synergies from each of the transactions, or the acquired operation has created, or will create, opportunities for the acquired entity to sell its services to our customers. Both of these factors resulted in a purchase price that contributed to the recognition of goodwill. The acquisitions are summarized as follows:
	Business Acquired	Date of Closing		Net Assets Acquired (in millions)	Form of Consideration
	LaShu Coal Mine	18-Nov-12		15	Cash/Property
	LuoZhou Coal Mine	18-Nov-12	$	22	Cash/Property
	Each of the acquired businesses has been included in our results of operations since the date of closing. Accordingly, the operating results for the periods presented are not entirely comparable due to these acquisitions and related costs. In each acquisition, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.
	Purchase Price Allocations
	The following tables summarize the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective dates of acquisition for the above referenced transactions (in millions).

	A brief description of each acquisition is as follows:
	LuoZhou Coal Mine (“LuoZhou”) and LaShu Coal Mine (“LaShu”)
	On November 18, 2012, the Company completed the acquisitions of the LuoZhou and LaShuCoal Mine when it entered into the Equity Ownership Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Guizhou Union Energy, Inc., a Chinese corporation (“Union”) and Guizhou Union Capital Investment Holding Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Union Capital”), to purchase 95% of the equity ownership interest of both LuoZhou and LaShu Coal Mine.
	Under the Agreement, the purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in both LuoZhou and LaShuCoal Mine was approximately RMB $233.3 million (equivalent to US$37.1 million). The purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in LuoZhou was about RMB $140.5 million (equivalent to US$22.3 million) and the purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in LaShu Coal Mine was about RMB $92.9 million (equivalent to US$14.8 million), and both of these two mines (LuoZhou and LaShu) will be paid together by a cash outlay of approximately US $1.7 million and the transfer of the Company's interests in Zonelin Coking Plant (98%) and the DaPing Coal Mine (60%) which were valued at about $12.4 million and $23.0 million respectively.  LuoZhou Coal Mine has $27 million tons of reserves. LaShu Coal Mine has $7.2 million tons of reserve.
	Divestiture
	Sale of HSC
	In late 2009 to early 2010, the Company determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to expand on other prospective acquisitions that would provide a better return to its stockholders.  Therefore, on April 18, 2010, the Company entered into an Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Sale Agreement”) with Guangxi Liuzhou Lifu Machinery Co., Ltd., whereby the Company sold its 93% equity ownership interest in HSC (Hon Shen Coal Co., Ltd.) for RMB $41,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$6,000,000).  Guangxi Liuzhou Lifu Machinery Co., Ltd. assumed the obligation of the Company to pay to HSC RMB $23,800,000 (equivalent to approximately US$3,485,300) that remained payable to HSC pursuant to the December Agreement.  Guangxi Liuzhou Lifu Machinery Co., Ltd. also agreed to pay the remaining balance of RMB $17,200,000(equivalent to approximately US$2,514,700) to the Company in three installments, (1) RMB $3,440,000 (approximately US$502,940) within six months of the sale, (2) RMB $5,160,000 (approximately US$754,410) between six months and twelve months after the sale, and (3) RMB $8,600,000 (approximately US$1,257,350) between twelve and twenty-four months after the sale.  Pursuant to the Equity Sale Agreement, if Guangxi Liuzhou Lifu Machinery Co, Ltd does not make such scheduled payments, a penalty of 1% of the applicable payment will be assessed for any deadline that is missed.  Additionally, interest of 3.5% per annum of the applicable payment will be assessed as of the day after the applicable payment date.  The portions of the purchase price that are due within twelve months after the sale (i.e., the first two installments) are included as “Other receivables” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and the portion of the purchase price due within 24 months of the sale (i.e., the third installment) is included as a “Long-term receivable” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded US$834,181 as income from discontinued operations and recognized a gain of US$1,017,928 on the sale on April 18, 2010.As of October 31, 2013, the outstanding receivable from the sale of HSC was US$224,453, which is expected to be received before April 30, 2014.
	Sale of Ping Yi Mine
	After the consideration of several factors including its continuing development strategies, the Company made the determination to dispose of the Ping Yi Mine.  On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement with Mr. Zhang, the previous owner of Ping Yi Mine, whereby the Company sold its 100% equity ownership interest in Ping Yi Mine for RMB $196,000,000, approximately US $31,000,000.  The payment was agreed to take the form of receipt with payment in two parts: (1) through receipt of coal extracted from the Ping Yi Mine subsequent to the disposal, including priority receipt of future coal from the Ping Yi Mine at a 5% discounted price compared to the market price until 70% of the payment is received; (2) through receipt of the use of Ping Yi Mine's washing facilities subsequent to disposal, including  usage fees charged at a 3%~5% discounted price compared to the market price until 30% of the payment is received. The terms of the agreement state that full payment must be received within five years, and that 70% of total receipts must occur by the end of year three.  As of October 31, 2013, the Company received total payment of $1,997,626 as coal washing facilities service during this quarter.
	The Company recorded $408,020 as income from discontinued operations for the year-ended April 30, 2012. Additionally, the Company recorded $3,183,786 of costs to dispose related to the provision of discounting the estimated receipt of the payment over the payment term (refer to NOTE 5 and 11).
	Sale of DaPing Coal Mine
	After the consideration of several factors including continuing development strategies, the Company made the determination to dispose of the DaPing Mine. On November 18, 2012, the Company decided to purchase two coal mines, which are LuoZhou and LaShu mines by making a swap of the 60% equity interest in DaPing Mine and 98% equity interest in ZoneLin Coking Plant. The fair value of the 60% equity interest in DaPing was approximately $ 23 million, including $0.5 million on assets write-up per fair value measurement. The Company has no continuing involvement in the disposed business.

	Legal Matters
	We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings in material nature and we are not aware of any material pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us, other than the legal proceeding described below:
	On August 26, 2011, a federal securities law class action complaint was filed against the Company, certain officers and directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson) and a former officer (i.e., Jung Mei (Rosemary) Wang) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased the common stock of the Company during the period August 13, 2009 through August 2, 2011, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby (the “Washington Securities Class Action”), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934  by filing materially  false and misleading public statements August 2009 to July  2011. On December 15, 2011, the court appointed Gregg Irvin as lead plaintiff, and plaintiff filed an amended complaint and a second amended complaint on February 8 and March 2, 2012, respectively, naming four other current and former directors as defendants (i.e., Shirley Kiang, Robert Lee, Dennis Bracy and Robert Okun).
	On November 4, 2011, a complaint was filed by Larew P. Stouffer, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a  nominal defendant, against certain of its then existing officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Ian G. Robinson, Robert W. Lee, Shirley Kiang, Dennis Bracy, Syd S. Peng) and certain former officers and/or directors (i.e., Edward L. Dowd, Andrew M. Leitch, Robert Okun, Joseph J. Borich, Jung Mei Wang and David Lin) in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada for Carson City (the “Nevada Derivative Suit”),  alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders, wasted corporate assets, were unjustly enriched , and committed other wrongful acts.
	On November 15, 2011, a complaint was filed by Russell L. Bush, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against its then existing directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Ian G. Robinson, Robert W. Lee, Shirley Kiang, Dennis Bracy, Syd S. Peng) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle (“Washington Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched.
	The Company has notified our insurance carrier of the Washington Securities Class Action and the Washington Derivative Suits. The Company has also retained outside legal counsel.
	On April 23, 2012, the Company and Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson filed a motion to dismiss the Washington Securities Class Action.  Proceedings in the Washington Derivative Suits were stayed pending the court's ruling on the motion to dismiss.
	On December 3, 2012, the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action lawsuit without prejudice, and gave plaintiff thirty days in which to seek the court's permission to file another  amended complaint.
	On January 2, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint.  Pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, the court granted such leave, and on February 4, 2013, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint in the Washington Securities Class Action on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased the common stock of the Company during the period August 13, 2009 through August 2, 2011, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby, against the Company, certain officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson) and a former officer (i.e., Jung Mei (Rosemary) Wang), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by filing materially false and misleading reports and financial statements with the SEC from August 2009 to July 2011.
	Proceedings in the Washington and Nevada Derivative Suits continued to be stayed pending the court's ruling on the second motion to dismiss.
	On December 3, 2013, the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle denied the defendants' second motion to dismiss.  The court has not yet issued a case scheduling order in the Washington Securities Class Action and there is no trial date.
	The Company believes that the Washington and Nevada Securities Class Action and the Washington Derivative Suits are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
	On September 23, 2013, a federal securities law class action complaint was filed against the Company, and certain officers and directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Ian G. Robinson and Clayton Fong) in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased common stock of the Company during the period September 11, 2012 through September 18, 2013, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby (the “New York Securities Class Action”), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by filing materially false and misleading public statements from September 2012 to September 2013.  On November 22, 2013, the plaintiff and several other proposed plaintiffs filed motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and counsel.  The court set a status conference for December 20, 2013 to consider the motions.
	On October 18, 2013, a complaint was filed by Joseph D, Bessent, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its then existing officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Syd S. Peng, Mohan Datwani, Jingcai Yang, James Schaeffer, and Joseph Borich) in the Superior Court for the State of Washington in King County, Washington (the “Bessent Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders and committed other wrongful acts.
	On December 9, 2013, a complaint was filed by Jay Finkelstein, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its current and former officers and/or directors (i.e. Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Shirley Kiang, Ian Robinson, Dennis Bracy, Edward L. Dowd, Jr., Robert W. Lee, Robert A. Okun, Andrew M. Leitch, Edmund Moy, Dr. Syd S. Peng, Clayton Fong, Jungcai Yang, Mohan Datwani, Joseph Borich, and James Schaeffer) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle (the “Finkelstein Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders and committed other wrongful acts.
	The Company has notified our insurance carriers of the New York Securities Class Action, the Bessent Derivative Suit, and Finkelstein Derivative Suit. The Company has retained outside legal counsel.
	The Company believes that the New York Securities Class Action, the Bessent Derivative Suit, and the Finkelstein Derivative Suit are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
	The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of the aforementioned legal proceedings.  As such, as of October 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with potential losses from legal proceedings.
	Foreign Currency
	The majority of the Company sales, purchases and expense transactions are denominated in RMB (Chinese currency) and most of the Company's assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB.  The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law.  In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions.  Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
	Environmental Remediation
	The PRC adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operations of the coal mining industry.  The outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present, and could be material.  Under existing legislation, however, Company management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
	Chinese Government
	The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America.  These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.  The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversions and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
	Concentrations
	For the six months ended October 31, 2013, we had three major customers who purchased 38% of the Company's total sales, and represented $10,360,075 of accounts receivable balance in total as of October 31, 2013. In addition, we had three major suppliers who provided 39% of our total purchases, and the relevant account payable had been paid off as of October 31, 2013.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT	'
	NOTE 17. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
	On December 10, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Convertible Note”) and warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to Phoenician Limited (“Phoenician”), a Hong Kong company for $3,000,000. The number of warrants shares issued was 289,816 which equal to 15% of the number of common shares issuable under the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note carries an interest rate of 12% and matures in 24 months from the Closing Date.
	The Convertible Note can be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price $1.55 which is 80% of the 10 days volume weighted average price on Closing date.
	The Investor Warrants has exercise price of $1.94 which represents the 10 days volume weighted average price of the Company stock at the Closing date and expire three years from the date of issuance.
	Both the Convertible Note and Investor Warrants contain a price protection feature. If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Convertible Note and Investor Warrants are outstanding, raises capital at a price per share that is less than the current conversion price or strike price, then the current conversion price or strike price will be adjusted downward. The Company determined the embedded conversion feature for the Convertible Note and the Investor Warrants to be a derivative liability in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and estimated the fair value of the derivative using Lattice Model as of December 10, 2012. Such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in non-operating income (expense) in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
	On December 10, 2012, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $2,643,191 for the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Note which was valued at $2,355,390 and the Investor Warrants which was valued at $287,801 and offset to an unamortized debt discount totaled $2,643,191. The debt discount will be amortized using effective interest method over 24 months. As of April 30, 2013, the Company amortized debt discount $218,404 and $385,452 as interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2014, respectively.
	Pursuant to the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to establish an account with an agent designated by Phoenician and fund the account with payments from the note receivable from Bowie Resources LLC as collateral. (See Note 10) In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement to cover 100% of the common stock underlying the Investor Warrants to ensure Phoenician will have freely trading shares six months after shares issuance under the 144 Rule. The Company agreed to pay the one percent in common stock of the face amount of the Investor Warrants for every thirty day period, or portion thereof not declared effective within one hundred eighty days of closing, subject to a maximum of six percent if the Company shares cannot be freely traded after six months of shares issuance under the 144 Rule.
	As of October 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of Convertible Note was $3,000,000 and none of the Investor Warrant shares have been exercised and therefore no common shares have been issued under the Rule.  The Company paid monthly interest on the Convertible Note.
	In connection with the Convertible Note, the Company initially recorded $180,000 loan origination fee as deferred loan cost and amortized over 24 months using the effective interest method. In addition, the Company prepaid six months interest totaled $180,000 and recorded as prepaid interest.  The Company amortized loan cost of $22,516 and $44,857 as interest expense for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2013, respectively.
	During the six months ended October 31, 2013, the fair value of the derivative instruments liability decreased by $3,633,186. This was recorded as unrealized gain on fair value of derivative instruments as non-cash expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
	Activity for derivative instruments liability during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 was as follows:
			30-Apr-13		Activity During quarter		Increase(Decrease) in Fair Value of Derivative Liability		31-Oct-13
	Derivative instruments	$	4,594,912	$	-	$	-3,633,186	$	961,726

IRONRIDGE SETTLEMENT	'
	NOTE 25. IRONRIDGE SETTLEMENT
	On August 14, 2013, L & L Energy, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company”) entered into a stipulation for settlement of claims (the “Stipulation”) with Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”). Pursuant to an order of approval by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles - Central District (the “Order”), the stipulation settled $4,999,153 of payments, which consisted of the following: $4,091,653 (25,000,000 RMB) to Guizhou Qian Hong Mining Resource Consulting Services, Ltd. (“Qian Hong”) as a prepayment for coal to be received at a future date, $107,500 to satisfy the payment of a short term loan to a non-related party, and $800,000 to satisfy the payment of debt to Mr. Dickson Lee, the CEO of L & L Energy, Inc., which Ironridge had purchased in exchange for payment in cash. In exchange, we agreed to  issue to Ironridge, shares of our common stock with an aggregate value equal to 105% of the amount owned, plus reasonable attorneys fees, divided by 88% of the following: the closing price of the Company's common stock on the trading date immediately preceding the date of entry of the Order, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)  of any five consecutive trading days during the Calculation Period (as defined hereinafter), less $0.05 per share (the “Final Amount”).
	On August 16, 2013 (the “Issuance Date”) we issued 2,588,888 shares of the Company's common stock to Ironridge (the “Initial Issuance”). Additionally, from the date of the Stipulation until that number of consecutive trading days following the Issuance Date required for the aggregate trading volume of our common stock to exceed $80 million, including after hour trades (the “Calculation Period”), if any individual VWAP of our common stock declines below the closing price on the trading date preceding the Order, for each $0.10 or portion thereof, we will, within two trading days, issue to Ironridge additional shares of common stock equal to 5% of the aggregate number of shares required to be issued to Ironridge prior to such issuance (each, an “Additional Issuance”). If, within two days, Ironridge does not receive the Additional Issuance in its account in electronic form and fully cleared for trading, the trading volume during such time shall not count toward aggregate trading volume and the Calculation Period shall be extended by one trading day. At the end of the Calculation Period, the number of shares issued will be adjusted based on the Final Amount.
	Under the Stipulation, Ironridge is prohibited from holding any short position in our common stock, and may not to engage in or affect, directly or indirectly, any short sale until at least 180 days after the end of the calculation period described above. The Stipulation also provides that in no event shall the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued to Ironridge, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after such issuance. The total amount of stock issued under the Stipulation is not to exceed 19.99% of our total outstanding shares before the Initial Issuance without shareholder approval.
	The result of the Order and Stipulation is that a total of $4,999,153 of payments to various parties were satisfied by Ironridge in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock as provided above. In addition, pursuant to the satisfaction of the prepayment agreement with the Company, Qian Hong made its first shipment of coal to the Company in October 2013. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has received approximately 13% of the total amount under the prepayment agreement.
	The Calculation Period ended on November 1, 2013. The Final Amount of common stock issued under this transaction was 4,853,863 shares, the total of which was valued at $11,116,200 by using the then current trading price on the various issuance dates (NOTE19).
	In accordance with the Order and Stipulation, we issued equity and experienced a book loss; however, this event does not affect our cash flow. This event has a material effect on the presentation of our financial statements. Therefore, we disclosed and recorded a $6,101,488 loss on debt settlement in the period ended October 31, 2013.

	The Company made short-term loans to business partners in order to develop a long-term business relationship.  Such loans are considered consistent with accepted business practices in China.  These business partners are suppliers to our Company and we believe that these loans result in securing adequate supplies for the expansion of production capacity in our mines. As more fully discussed in Note 3, the Company sold its 100% equity ownership interest in Ping Yi Mine for RMB $196,000,000, approximately US $31,200,000 on April 30, 2012. The estimated receipt of payment is expected to generally occur within a five-year period, in accordance with the contract. As such, a valuation allowance was recorded to reflect the net present value of the payments during that period at a rate of 5%, which is with reference to the discount explicit in the agreement. The initial recording of this discount resulted in the recognition of a cost of disposal in the period when the disposal incurred, which will be accreted as interest income by effective interest method over the life of the agreement. As of October 31, 2013, the receivable related to the disposal of the Ping Yi Mine, net of discount, amount to a total of $12,441,007 with a current portion of $3,338,093.

	NOTE 4. PREPAID AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
	Cash advances are made to coal suppliers to guarantee a certain delivery of coal to the Company at a specified time and price. Since the demand for coal is high, the Company enters into agreements with these suppliers, with cash deposits, to ensure a constant supply of coal to our washing facilities. By signing purchase agreements with suppliers which provide for the payment of deposits over a certain period of time, we ensure that our suppliers will deliver their coal in a timely manner. Certain agreements impose penalties on the suppliers for non-compliance.
	On June 10, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the prepayment of 25,000,000 RMB worth of coal with Guizhou Qian Hong Mining Resource Consulting Services, Ltd. (“Qian Hong”). On August 14, 2013, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd (“Ironridge”) agreed to complete the payment for us in exchange for free trading shares. The details of our transaction with Ironridge can be found below in NOTE 25, “Ironridge Transaction.” On August 20, 2013, pursuant to the Ironridge Transaction, Ironridge completed its payment to Qian Hong. As of October 31, 2013, the company received approximately 13% of the total amount under the prepayment agreement from Qian Hong Mining.
	Additionally, the Company provides advances to employees for them to handle incidents in our mining operations as well as washing expansion projects as these facilities are far away from our operating center in Kunming and Guiyang.  There were no advances to officers or directors.
	During this quarter, the company paid a total of $2.7 million which has a current portion of $0.3 million for renting land to mine coal. This total payment will be amortized in 10 years period.

	NOTE 24.  STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
	On September 9, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting of the shareholders held on the same date. On February 17, 2011, the Company filed S-8 Registration Statement. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Board of Directors or one or more of its members to grant options to eligible individuals to purchase shares of common stock our Company to eligible individuals.  Eligible individuals may be employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and consultants who provide valuable service to us or our Parent or Subsidiary. Options to purchase Common Stock may be incentive stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights or non-statutory stock options as determined by the Board of Directors or its delegate. 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance.
	On September 16, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting of the shareholders held on the same date. As the end of October, 2013, the Company has not filed S-8 Registration Statement. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Board of Directors or one or more of its members to grant options to eligible individuals to purchase shares of common stock in our Company to eligible individuals.  Eligible individuals may be employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and consultants who provide valuable service to us or our Parent or Subsidiary. Options to purchase Common Stock may be incentive stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights or non-statutory stock options as determined by the Board of Directors or its delegate. 5,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance.
	Each option agreement specifies the term as to when the option is to become exercisable. Standard options vest at a rate of at least 20% of the underlying shares per year over five years and have a maximum term of 10 years. However, in no event shall an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder be granted at an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
	During the six months ended of October 31, 2013, the Company has issued 248,000 stock options as board compensation and no stock option was exercised.
	The following table displays the weighted average assumptions that have been applied to estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant for the first quarter ended October 31, 2013:
		31-Oct-13
	Dividend yield	-
	Risk-free interest rate	3.33%
	Expected volatility	100.25%
	Expected lives	5 years
	(1)     Expected Life: The expected life was determined based on the option's contractual term and employees' expected early exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.
	(2)     Risk Free Rate: The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that corresponds to the expected term of the option calculated on the granted date.
	(3)     Expected Volatility: Expected volatility is computed base on the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return of days when the stock price changed over the historical period of the expected life of the options.
	(4)     Dividend Yield: The expected dividend yield is zero. The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in there foreseeable future.
	Stock compensation expense was recognized based on awards expected to vest. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires forfeiture to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	The following summarizes pricing and term information for options outstanding as of October 31, 2013:
	Type of Options	Range of Exercise Prices	Total Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years)	Weighted Average Exercise Price
	Director	$7.65	40,000	2.34	$7.65
	Director	$2.00	240,000	3.84	$2.00
	Director	$2.50	248,000	4.88	$2.50
			528,000	4.21	$2.66
	As of October 31, 2013, 311,000 of 528,000 stock options outstanding for compensation were exercisable.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Accounting Principles
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of L&L have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The fully consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) the Company, (ii) its 100% ownership of KMC, DaXing and Guizhou LiWei subsidiaries including coal wholesale, (iii) 80% of operations of LLC (“2 Mines”), (iv) 51% of WeiShe Mine, (v) 98% of TaiFung, and (ⅵ) 95% of LaShu and 95% of LuoZhou Mines. The Company fully consolidates 100% of the assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries and shows the non-controlling interests owned by their respective minority owners as Non-Controlling Interests.  The results of operations of our subsidiaries less amounts attributable to non-controlling interest owners are net income attributable to the Company.  All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  Actual results may differ from management's estimates.
	Reclassification
	Certain reclassifications have been made to current period consolidated financial statements and footnote to conform to the current period consolidated financial statement and footnote presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate are considered as  Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.  Section 815-20-25-6, hedges involving the benchmark interest rate are addressed in paragraph 815-20-25-12(f) for fair value hedges) and paragraph 815-20-25-15(j) for cash flow hedges.  This amendment is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013.  The Company adopted this guidance effective July 17, 2013 and the Company does not expect the implementation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions	'
	For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Company acquired two businesses in the mining industry. The Company has been actively acquiring smaller coal companies who lack the capital and/or management expertise to maximize growth and safety. The Company will continue to seek opportunities to purchase other mining operations as well as coal washing and coal coking operations. The Company expects to realize operating synergies from each of the transactions, or the acquired operation has created, or will create, opportunities for the acquired entity to sell its services to our customers. Both of these factors resulted in a purchase price that contributed to the recognition of goodwill. The acquisitions are summarized as follows:

IRONRIDGE SETTLEMENT [Abstract]	'	'	'
Settlement Description	'	'	'On August 14, 2013, L & L Energy, Inc. (bwe,b bour,b the bCompanyb) entered into a stipulation for settlement of claims (the bStipulationb) with Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (bIronridgeb). Pursuant to an order of approval by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles b Central District (the bOrderb), the stipulation settled $4,999,153 of payments, which consisted of the following: $4,091,653 (25,000,000 RMB) to Guizhou Qian Hong Mining Resource Consulting Services, Ltd. (bQian Hongb) as a prepayment for coal to be received at a future date, $107,500 to satisfy the payment of a short term loan to a non-related party, and $800,000 to satisfy the payment of debt to Mr. Dickson Lee, the CEO of L & L Energy, Inc., which Ironridge had purchased in exchange for payment in cash. In exchange, we agreed to issue to Ironridge, shares of our common stock with an aggregate value equal to 105% of the amount owned, plus reasonable attorneys fees, divided by 88% of the following: the closing price of the Companybs common stock on the trading date immediately preceding the date of entry of the Order, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual volume weighted average price (bVWAPb) of any five consecutive trading days during the Calculation Period (as defined hereinafter), less $0.05 per share (the bFinal Amountb). On August 16, 2013 (the bIssuance Dateb) we issued 2,588,888 shares of the Companybs common stock to Ironridge (the bInitial Issuanceb). Additionally, from the date of the Stipulation until that number of consecutive trading days following the Issuance Date required for the aggregate trading volume of our common stock to exceed $80 million, including after hour trades (the bCalculation Periodb), if any individual VWAP of our common stock declines below the closing price on the trading date preceding the Order, for each $0.10 or portion thereof, we will, within two trading days, issue to Ironridge additional shares of common stock equal to 5% of the aggregate number of shares required to be issued to Ironridge prior to such issuance (each, an bAdditional Issuanceb). If, within two days, Ironridge does not receive the Additional Issuance in its account in electronic form and fully cleared for trading, the trading volume during such time shall not count toward aggregate trading volume and the Calculation Period shall be extended by one trading day. At the end of the Calculation Period, the number of shares issued will be adjusted based on the Final Amount. Under the Stipulation, Ironridge is prohibited from holding any short position in our common stock, and may not to engage in or affect, directly or indirectly, any short sale until at least 180 days after the end of the calculation period described above. The Stipulation also provides that in no event shall the number of shares of the Companybs common stock issued to Ironridge, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after such issuance. The total amount of stock issued under the Stipulation is not to exceed 19.99% of our total outstanding shares before the Initial Issuance without shareholder approval.
