To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation (the "Company" or “CHPC”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2006. On June 30, 2008, the Company entered a share exchange agreement ("Share Exchange Agreement”) under which the Company issued 5,865,000 shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.00001, to Oracular Dragon Capital Company, Ltd (“Oracular Dragon”), the sole shareholder of Origin Orbit Green Resource Company, Ltd (“Origin Orbit”) in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of Origin Orbit (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange is the final part of a series of consecutive transactions including the stock purchase transactions consummated on June 19, 2008 in which the sole shareholder of Origin Orbit purchased 4,524,231 shares of common stock of CHPC from the affiliate and non-affiliate shareholders of CHPC at a total consideration of $ 346,586 (the “Stock Purchase”). Immediately following the Share Exchange and Stock Purchase, Oracular Dragon owned 10,389,231 shares of the common stock of CHPC, representing approximately 86.6% of CHPC’s total issued and outstanding share capital. As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, whereby Origin Orbit is deemed to be the accounting acquirer and CHPC to be the accounting acquiree. The financial statements before the date of Share Exchange are those of Origin Orbit with the results of CHPC being condensed consolidated from the date of Share Exchange. No goodwill has been recorded.
Origin Orbit is a holding company that, on April 4, 2007, acquired 100% of the capital stock of Anyang Prosperous Energy Technology Developing Co., Ltd. (“Anyang Prosperous”) and Anyang Top Energy Green Resources Co., Ltd. (“Anyang Top”), both of which were organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Anyang Top does not have any subsidiary. Anyang Prosperous has various ownership interests in a number of companies in PRC.
As a result of these share exchange transactions and acquisitions, CHPC has become the holding company of the group comprising Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top and their subsidiaries. The Company is principally engaged in the wholesale and retail sales of compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).

Note 5 – Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets of $50,328 and $50,397 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, arose from unused tax loss carry-forwards that management considers more likely than not that it will be realized through future operations. The tax loss carry-forwards are available for offset against future taxable income over the next five years. No valuation allowance was recorded as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Note 6 – Goodwill
Balance as of June 30, 2009 | | | $ | 60,330 | |
Foreign currency exchange adjustment | | | | (82 | ) |
| |
Adjusted balance as of June 30, 2009 | | | $ | 60,248 | |
Note 6 – Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill arose from the Company’s acquisition of Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top on April 4, 2007. Impairment of goodwill is tested at least annually at the reporting unit. The test consists of two steps. First, the identification of potential impairment is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS No 141, “Business Combinations”. As of June 30, 2009, no impairment was provided on the goodwill.
Note 7 – Investment in non-consolidated entity
As of June 30, 2009, available-for-sale securities consist of the following:
Name of investee | Place of operation | Percentage of ownership | Principal activities |
| | | |
Anyang PetroChina Marketing Company Limited (“Anyang PetroChina”) | PRC | 34% | Sales of crude oil and refined oil and LPG |
As the above company is a private company whose shares are not quoted or traded in an active market, management has determined that it is not practicable to estimate their fair value reliably. Therefore, the investment in the above company is stated at cost less any impairment losses. No events or changes in circumstances have been identified that potentially would have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of investment in the above company. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, there was no allowance for impairment losses.
Although the Company held 34% ownership interest in Anyang PetroChina, the Company did not have significant influence over Anyang PetroChina. According to an agreement between the Company and the other shareholder of Anyang PetroChina, namely China National Petroleum Corporation (“China National Petroleum”), the Company has assigned the full power and right of management of Anyang PetroChina to China National Petroleum for the period until June 30, 2009. In return, the Company has been entitled to 10% of the cost of its investment in Anyang PetroChina in the form of a fixed “dividend” each year regardless of the actual performance of Anyang PetroChina for the period until June 30, 2009. Therefore, Anyang PetroChina has been accounted for using the cost method instead of the equity method. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, dividend income of $308,337 and $156,976, respectively, from Anyang Petro China were included in other income.

With the amendment of the PRC Companies Law which was effective from January 1, 2006, enterprises in the PRC were no longer required to transfer any profit to the public welfare fund. Any balance of public welfare fund brought forward from December 31, 2005 should be transferred to the statutory surplus reserve. The statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable.
Note 13 – Income Taxes
The Company being incorporated in the State of Nevada is not subject to any income tax according to the rules and regulations of the Nevada. Before January 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC were generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax at 33%. On March 16, 2007, the PRC government promulgated a new tax law, China’s Unified Corporate Income Tax Law (“New CIT Law”), which took effect from January 1, 2008. Under the New CIT Law, foreign-owned enterprises as well as domestic companies are subject to a unified tax rate of 25%. Accordingly, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC have been subject to the PRC corporate income tax at a rate of 25% on their taxable income arising in the PRC commencing from January 1, 2008. The effect of this change in tax rate has been reflected in the calculation of deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and thereafter.
The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of:
| | | | For the six months Ended June 30, | | |
| | | | 2009 | | 2008 | | |

Note 14 – Concentration of Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 100% of the Company’s cash included cash on hand and deposits in accounts maintained within the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation in place for obligatory insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, all of the Company’s sales arose in the PRC. In addition, all accounts receivable as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were due from customers located in the PRC.

Unless otherwise noted, all currency figures in this filing are in U.S. dollars. References to "Yuan" or "RMB" are to the Chinese Yuan (also known as the Renminbi). According to Bank of China, as of July 31, 2009, $1= 6.8323 Yuan.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2006. From March 24, 2006 to June 19, 2008, we did not own any interest in any property, but merely had the right to conduct exploration activities on one property, which consisted of 20 cells containing 169.029 hectares located in the Nicola Mining Division District of British Columbia, Canada. We intended to explore for gold on the property. Our exploration program should take approximately 365 days, weather permitting. We did not own any subsidiary company.
On June 19, 2008, Walter Brenner and Horst Balthes (the "Affiliate Sellers"), two major shareholders and affiliates of the Company consummated two Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Affiliate Agreements") with Oracular Dragon. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreements, Oracular Dragon acquired from the Affiliate Sellers a total 3,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company for a total price of $ 75,000. Also on June 19, 2008, a group of non-Affiliate Stockholders ("Non-Affiliate Sellers") of the Company consummated a Non-Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement ("Non-Affiliate Agreement") with Oracular Dragon. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Non-Affiliate Agreement, Oracular Dragon acquired from the Non-Affiliate Sellers a total 1,424,231 shares of common stock of the Company for a total price of $271,586. As the result, Oracular Dragon acquired from Affiliate and Non-Affiliate Sellers a total 4,524,231 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 73.7% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered a share exchange agreement ("Share Exchange Agreement”) under which the Company issued 5,865,000 shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.00001, to Oracular Dragon in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares that Oracular Dragon owned in Origin Orbit Green Resource Company, Ltd. (“Origin Orbit”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracular Dragon (“Share Exchange Transaction”).
The Share Exchange Transaction is the final part of a series of consecutive transactions including the Affiliate and Non-Affiliate Stock Purchase Transactions consummated on June 19, 2008 (“Stock Purchase Transactions”). The Share Exchange Transaction and Stock Purchase Transactions, combined together, were to ensure that the Company was able to acquire 100% of the beneficial ownership interest in Origin Orbit.
Origin Orbit is a holding company that, on April 4, 2007, acquired 100% of the capital stock of Anyang Prosperous Energy Technology Developing Co., Ltd. (“Anyang Prosperous”) and Anyang Top Energy Green Resources Co., Ltd. (“Anyang Top”), both of which were organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Upon the acquisition of Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top became our subsidiaries that we own through Origin Orbit.
Following the acquisition of Origin Orbit, we ceased all the metal exploring business. Our new primary business operations include: retail sales of CNG and operation of CNG filling stations; retail sales of LPG and operation of LPG filling stations; and wholesale of LPG and CNG. Our primary business is carried out by Origin Orbit through Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top.
On October 14, 2008, we changed our legal name from “Acropolis Precious Metals, Inc.” to “China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation”.
In the remainder of this filing and its exhibits, “we, us or our” refers to China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation, Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top, collectively. The results of operations discussed below are the consolidated results of reflect the results of China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation, Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management’s discussion and analysis.
Basis of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CHPC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances or transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of six months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represented time deposits pledged against short-term bank facilities. Restricted cash is classified as current assets as the maturity of the short-term bank facilities was within one year.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required.
Available-for-sale Investments
Available-for-sale investments are equity securities which the Company does not intend to sell in the near term. The investees are private companies and do not have a quoted market price in an active market, so the fair value of available-for-sale investment cannot be practicably estimated are stated in the balance sheet using the cost method. Temporary impairments of costs of such available-for-sale investments are reported in other comprehensive income, where as other than temporary impairments are reflected in earnings.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for acquisitions of business in accordance with SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations”, which may result in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but will be subject to periodic evaluation for impairment. Goodwill is stated in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Buildings, Machinery and Equipment
Buildings, machinery and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of buildings, machinery and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Useful Life |
Buildings | 20-40 years |
Machinery, gas storage vehicles and motor vehicles | 5-10 years |
Office equipment | 5 years |
The carrying value of buildings, machinery and equipment is assessed annually and when factors indicating impairment is present, the carrying value of the fixed assets is reduced by the amount of the impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the net asset carrying value. An impairment loss, if exists, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress includes direct costs of construction of buildings, equipment and others. Interest incurred during the period of construction, if material, is capitalized. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are completed and put into service.
Asset Impairment
(a) Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.
(b) Goodwill
The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other current assets; trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term bank loans and other current liabilities.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective year ends.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Sales revenue is recognized net of sales discounts and returns at the time when the merchandise is sold to the customer. Based on historical experience, management estimates that sales returns are immaterial and has not made allowance for estimated sales returns.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
Foreign Currency
The Company uses the United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:
| | | June 30, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | | |
Balance sheet items, except for paid-in capital and retained | | |
earnings as of the end of period | | | US$1:RMB6.8448 | | | US$1:RMB6.8542 | | |
| | |
| | | Three months ended | | | Three months ended | | |
| | | June 30, 2009 | | | June 30, 2008 | | |
Amounts included in the statements of income, statements of s | | |
tockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the period | | | US$1:RMB6.8399 | | | US$1:RMB6.9645 | | |
| | |
| | | Six months ended | | | Six months ended | | |
| | | June 30, 2009 | | | June 30, 2008 | | |
Amounts included in the statements of income, statements of | | |
stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the period | | | US$1:RMB6.8432 | | | US$1:RMB7.0686 | | |
Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.
The Company believes that during the three months ended June 30, 2009 it operated in one business segment – research, development, and sales of LPG and other fuel for domestic and vehicle consumption, and in one geographical segment – China, as all of the Company’s operations were carried out in China.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value instruments. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 5, 2007 (the Company’s fiscal 2008). It is believed that implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have little or no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, “postretirement benefit plans”) to fully recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures. SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, and is not expected to apply to the Company.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (fiscal 2008 for the Company) where earlier adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, and timing of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the Company’s financial statements.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS No. 160). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) and 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. This Statement interprets Statement 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of this Statement. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company), and all interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REVENUES
Historical Financial Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (in US Dollar):
| For the quarter ended June 30 2009 | For the quarter ended June 30 2008 | Change in Percentage (%) |
Revenue | 5,416,252 | 13,329,820 | (59.37%) |
Net (loss) income | 121,249 | 288,969 | (58.04%) |
Net Income Margin | 2.24% | 2.17% | 3.26% |
The Company’s consolidated revenue dropped to $5,416,252 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a 59.37% decrease from $13,329,820 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from the following factors:
| | | | 1 | ) | Due to the impact of global economic crisis, some of our LPG clients began to limit or stop their production capacity, which lead to the demand drop of 59%; | | |
| | | | 2 | ) | Along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the unit sales price of LPG dropped 42%; | | |
| | | | 3 | ) | With the decrease of international crude oil price, part of our south coast clients started to buy the imported LPG which has relatively lower price, and caused the loss of some clients. | | |
Our consolidated net income decreased 58.04% to $121,249 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $288,969 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was attributable to:
| | | | 1) | | The increase in purchasing costs. Along with the increasing demand for natural gas, suppliers’ mark-up lead to our increased CNG purchasing costs; while at the same time, our sell price to clients didn’t increase that much; | | |
| | | | 2) | | Affected by the national energy policy, the LPG market is gradually shrinking. The business is under model transition in Jinan city. As we gradually stopped our LPG stations operation and are planning to convert them to CNG stations; the cost of transition and the cost of running the maintenance of the company lead to the decreased income; | | |
| | | | 3) | | The increase in the costs, which involved for the relevant listing activities, such as auditor fees, lawyer fees after our OTCBB listing on June 30, 2008. | | |
Revenues Breakdown by Products for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (in US Dollar)
Items | For the quarter ended June 30, 2009 | Percentage | For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 | Percentage | Change in Amount | Change In Percentage (%) |
CNG retail | 960,189.45 | 17.73% | 721,613.40 | 5.41% | 238,576.06 | 33.06% |
CNG wholesale | 1,492.74 | 0.03% | 74,943.33 | 0.56% | (73,450.58) | (98.01%) |

LPG wholesale | 3,524,736.55 | 65.08% | 9,073,140.00 | 68.07% | (5,548,403.45) | (61.15%) |
Others | 690,516.13 | 12.75% | 1,569,949.75 | 11.78% | (879,433.62) | (56.02%) |

The CNG retail for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, increased 33.06% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This was mainly due to:
| | | | 1) | | National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued "The Guideline Catalog of Industrial Structure Adjustment (2007)"; New energy vehicle is officially encouraged in production list, where CNG/petroleum dual-fuel automobile is in its fully promoted stage by NDRC, which lead to the dramatic increase of our CNG retail business; | | |
| | | | 2) | | West Jiefang Road gas station in Jiaozuo city was in operation since Jan 2009, so the company had five CNG operating gas stations at the moment, which lead to the increased CNG retail business; | | |
| | | | 3) | | Changzhi City made great efforts on regulation of this industry and set a unified retail price, which let our company in Changzhi to avoid vicious competition and in a healthy operation. | | |
Comparing to last year, LPG business fell 87.34% in retail sales and 61.15% in wholesale. This was mainly due to:
| 1) | In 2008, both the central and local governments changed their policies from encouraging the development of LPG dual-fuel vehicles to promote CNG dual-fuel vehicles. As a result, our main customers, taxis and city buses, have been converted to CNG dual-fuel vehicles, which pressured our existing LPG of retail sales downward; |
| 2) | The global financial crisis in 2008 endangered the China economy. Some of our clients limited or even stopped their production capacity, which lead to the decline of our wholesale business. |
“Others” decreased 56.02% comparing to last year. This is mainly due to the blending of DME with LPG. DME is a colorless gas which can be mixed with LPG to improve the heating energy. Along with the decrease of LPG sales, the sales of DME dropped.
COST OF GOODS SOLD (COGS)
COGS for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $4,673,606 which is 86.29% of total revenues and represents a 61.10% decrease as compared to $12,015,812 and 90.14% of total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in COGS as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to:
| 1) | | The decrease of Revenue leads to the same ration of COGS decreased ; | | |
| 2) | | Along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the LPG purchasing cost dropped. | | |
COGS as a percentage of revenue may fluctuate in the future. This fluctuation may primarily be due to changes in the price of our procurement price and selling price, which can have a significant impact on the COGS. The Company will adopt proper measures to reduce fluctuations in the COGS.
GROSS MARGIN
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the relevant portions of the statements of income are presented below:
| For the quarter ended June 30 2009 | For the quarter ended June 30 2008 | Changes |

The gross profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 13.71%.
Gross profit margin of CNG retail decreased, this was mainly due to: Along with the increasing demand in CNG, furious market competition, and the impact of the domestic petroleum retail price, CNG retail price decreased a little, which caused gross margin decreased slightly.
Gross profit margin of LPG retail increased, this was mainly due to: Along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the purchasing cost of LPG decreased, which lead to the increase of gross margin.
Raw Material Procurement
We were able to maintain relatively low purchase price even given the strong fluctuation of LPG price.
Average Price of Raw Material in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 (net of tax, in US Dollar)
Quarter Ended June 30 | Retail LPG (per ton) | Wholesale LPG (per ton) | CNG (per cube) |
2008 | 817.24 | 805.37 | 0.29 |
2009 | 427.98 | 426.12 | 0.29 |
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 mainly included the salary of sales personnel and transportation cost. In the quarter ended June 30, 2008, selling expenses amounted to $803,743, representing 6.03% of total revenue. The retail business sells its product through its own retail outlets whereas the wholesale business sells its product in the domestic market through direct distribution. The major component of selling expenses is transportation cost. The company mainly uses tank trucks to transport its products. In the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the transportation cost decreased 61.08% to approximately $211,126 compared with approximately $542,501 in the same quarter 2008.
The selling expenses in 2009 decreased 44.09% as compare to $803,743 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The main reason is that: along with the decreased sales, the variable change such as transportation cost decreased.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, mainly included the salary and welfare of the management personnel and office related expenses, were $200,136 that accounted for 3.70% of total revenue. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the general and administrative expenses were $190,517, almost the same as the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
OPERATING INCOME
The Company's consolidated operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased 70.88% to $93,117, from $319,748 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This was mainly due to: Along with the decreased sales, the fixed costs, such as depreciation in operating expenses, decreased. However, this drop is lower than the decrease of sales, which lead to the operating income dropped dramatically.
We believe operating income will show further improvements as we will continue building new CNG filling stations with further revenue source, aided by prudent cost controls on both the production and operating components of our business. We anticipate further improvements in cost of goods sold, increase of sales and expanding market share. Thus while management expects this factor to favorably benefit gross and operating income, we also anticipate that further increases in the internal management, enhance the management efficiency and reducing management costs, that will also improve margins.
NET INCOME
The net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $121,249 and the net income rate was 2.24%, comparing to $288,969 and 2.17% in the same quarter in 2008. The net income rate remains almost the same for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the main reasons of the decrease in the net income were:
| | | | 1) | | Although the sales decreased, the fixed costs in general and administration expenses had not decrease that much, which caused the decrease of net profit margin; | | |
| | | | 2) | | The low profit margin of the LPG wholesale business which accounted for 68% of the revenues. | | |
ACOUNT RECEIVABLE
Account receivable balance as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $372,959 and $747,985, respectively. The average turnover rate of account receivable is 9.7 times.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary source of liquidity had been cash generated from operations, which included cash inflows from currency translation activities. Historically, the primary liquidity requirements were for capital expenditures, working capital and investments. Our contractual obligations, commitments and debt service requirements over the next several years are non-significant. Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash generated from operations as well as existing cash on hand. We have availability under our amended and restated credit facilities to assist, if required, in meeting our working capital needs and other contractual obligations.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy our expected working and other capital requirements for the foreseeable future based on current business strategy and expansion plan. We believe we will have available resources to meet both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including debt service. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations, we may choose to use other means available to us such as to increase our borrowings under our lines of credit, reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $921,024 and $1,034,387 respectively.
The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

The decrease in net cash inflows from operating activities was mainly due to:
| | | | 1) | | Revenue decreased, which lead to the net income decreased, | | |
| | | | 2) | | New CNG stations were building to expand in the market, the company prepaid for the equipment according to the related contracts. | | |

We believe we have sufficient cash to continue our current business throughout 2009 due to increased sales and interest revenue. We do not believe that inflation had a significant negative impact on our results of operations during 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, our total assets were $18,382,300 and our total liabilities were $7,474,968. Our debt to asset ratio, calculated as total liabilities (including short-term debt and payables) over total assets, was 0.41:1.
As of December 31, 2008, our total assets were $15,187,148 and our total liabilities were $4,211,569. Our debt to asset ratio, calculated as total liabilities (including short-term debt and payables) over total assets, was 0.28:1.
As of June 30, 2009, cash and bank balances were $921,024, which accounted for 5.01% of total assets. The inventories as of June 30, 2009 were $729,120. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the company generated net cash flow of $-2,145,985 from operating activities whereas net cash used in investing activities was $330,502. Net cash provided from financing activities amounted to $2,390,081. As a result, net cash decreased by $113,364 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, as well as future possible cash investments, will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.
INCOME TAXES
The Company being incorporated in the State of Nevada is not subject to any income tax according to the rules and regulations of the Nevada. Before January 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC were generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax at 33%. On March 16, 2007, the PRC government promulgated a new tax law, China’s Unified Corporate Income Tax Law (“New CIT Law”), which took effect from January 1, 2008. Under the New CIT Law, foreign-owned enterprises as well as domestic companies are subject to a unified tax rate of 25%. Accordingly, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC have been subject to the PRC corporate income tax at a rate of 25% on their taxable income arising in the PRC commencing from January 1, 2008. The effect of this change in tax rate has been reflected in the calculation of deferred income tax assets as of June 30, 2008 and thereafter.
The Company’s provision for income taxes consisted of:
