PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Organizational History

Prior to the Share Exchange Transaction, we were an exploration stage corporation. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2006. Initially we engaged in the mineral exploration business.
 
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, under the terms and conditions of Affiliate Agreements and Non-Affiliate Agreement, 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.
 
Oracular Dragon is a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands and has its principal place of business in the People’s Republic of China. Oracular Dragon is neither a U.S Person, as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, nor is it located within the United States.
 
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 Development 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 through Origin Orbit. Upon the acquisition of Origin Orbit, we ceased all the mineral exploration business and operations.

The following diagram depicts our current structure subsequent to the acquisition of Origin Orbit.
 
 
 
Chart



Upon the acquisition, Anyang Top acquired the minority interests in the subsidiaries in Weifang, Xuchang, Linying, Heze, Fuyang, which accounts for 5% of the capital stock in 2009, respectively. Origin Orbit holds 100% of the capital stock through Anyang Top and Anyang Prosperous.

Organizational History of Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top

Origin Orbit was a limited liability company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on December 13, 2006.

Anyang Prosperous was a limited liability company organized under the laws of PRC on December 14, 2005. Anyang Top was a limited liability company organized under the laws of PRC on February 15, 2007.

On April 4, 2007, Origin Orbit acquired 100% of the capital stock of Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top and thus caused Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top to become its directly wholly owned subsidiaries.

As the result, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top were changed to wholly foreign owned entities (“WFOE”) pursuant to the PRC laws.

Since their founding, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top have been engaged in the business of wholesale and retail sales of CNG and LPG, construction and operation of CNG and LPG filling stations.

Overview of the Business

We are engaged in the business of wholesale and retail sales of CNG and LPG, construction and operation of CNG and LPG filling stations.

Our Products, Services and Customers

Our primary products include Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”).

Compressed Natural Gas is a substitute for gasoline, diesel, or propane fuel. It is considered to be an environmentally "clean" alternative to those fuels and it is much safer than other motor fuels in the event of a fuel spill: natural gas is lighter than air, so it disperses quickly when leaked or spilled. It is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly composed of methane (CH4)), to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure. It is stored and distributed in hard containers, at a normal pressure of 200–220 bar (20–22 MPa), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes to maintain equal pressure on the walls of the containers. Typically CNG can be transported at normal temperatures to distances of up to 300 kilometers.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles, and increasingly replacing chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant to reduce damage to the ozone layer. LPG is manufactured during the refining of crude oil, or extracted from oil or gas streams as they emerge from the ground.
 
Our Primary Operations
 
We carry out three types of primary operations:

(1) Retail sales of CNG and operation of CNG filling stations.
(2) Retail sales of LPG and operation of LPG filling stations.
(3) Wholesale of LPG and CNG.
 
We are currently operating 9 gas filling stations, including 6 CNG stations and 3 LPG stations. Of the 6 LPG stations, we have ceased 3 LPG stations in Jinan city due to the regional policy encouraging CNG vehicles.
 
In addition, we plan to construct another 11 filling stations including 1 hub (mother) station and 10 CNG filling stations. Our stations, including those under construction and planning, are located in 13 cities of 5 provinces. In order to better manage and operate these stations, we have formed 17 subsidiary companies in Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and Anhui provinces, including Jiangsu Hengrun Clean Energy Co., Ltd., and Henan Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation which incorporated in 2009.

We continue expanding our CNG filling station base by constructing new stations as well as acquiring existing stations. It usually take us 120 days to get authorities approvals, and construct a CNG filling station in approximately another 60 days for a cost of approximately US$900,000. We are evaluating additional sites for CNG filling stations in neighborhood provinces as well as Henan province.

We wholesale LPG to customers located in Anyang, Xinxiang and many other cities in northern Henan Province, as well as the cities in Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, and Shanxi provinces.
 
Overview of CNG/LPG Industry and Market in China
 
China’s rapidly growing economy causes the fast increase in demand for energy sources. China’s overall consumption of LPG was increased from 14.843 million ton in 2000 to 21.337 million ton in 2006 (data source: 2007 Chinese LPG Global Conference), growing by 7.8% per year. The overall consumption of CNG was increased from 27.7 billion cubic meters in 2000 to 63.6 billion cubic meter in 2006, growing by 14.8% per year.
 
Natural gas accounts for 20%-30% of the primary energy consumption in most developed countries, among which the figures in Commonwealth of Independent States is 55%, Canada 29%, the U.S. 26%, and Germany 21%, and even in Japan, the country that is very poor in oil and gas resources, it is 12%. In China, however, the similar figure is only 3%, far lower than the world average, and even far lower than 8.8%, the Asian average, to say nothing of comparing with those in developed countries.
 
Accompanying the stronger desire for more sustainable economic development and the heightened level of environmental consciousness, the use of CNG and LPG, which are viewed as sources of “clean energy”, has been highly encouraged by Chinese government. PRC’s 11th Five-Year Plan called for the strategic planning on the development of natural gas industry. It is predicated that China’s demand for LPG will continue to grow at the rate of 9.3% annually and reaches 30.5 million ton in year 2010. The domestic production of LPG products is anticipated to reach approximately 20 million ton which is still 10 million ton in short of demand. The demand for CNG will grow at 12% per year and will reach 100 billion cubic meters in year 2010.
 
According to China Oil News Center, from 2000 to 2008, the consumption of natural gas is growing at an averaged rate of 14.4% over the years, from 24.5 billion cubic meters in 2000 to 72 billion cubic meters in 2008. Data from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) show that demand for natural gas would be 166 billion M3 in China by 2010, up by 176% from 60 billion M3, the similar figure in 2006. That is to say, the compound annual growth rate of natural gas demand in China 2007 through 2010 would be 29%. Compared to consumption in other countries, there are still great rooms for broader utilization of natural gas in China.
 
At the same time, the scope and scale of natural gas utilization are both promoted by the massive construction of natural gas pipelines and support facilities in China, which improved our potential source of natural gas. The country's first west-to-east natural gas pipelines were already put into commercial operation at the end of 2004. In addition, China has also been making more effort to increase natural gas pipelines: (1) In August 2007, the construction of the pipeline project started to send natural gas from Puguang natural gas field, Sichuan Province to Yangtze Delta. (2) The construction of the second west-to-east natural gas pipelines, which has the transport capacity of 30 billion M3 per year and is supposed to be put into operation in 2010, started allover the line to send natural gas, which is from Middle Asia originally, from Xinjiang to Yangtze and Zhujiang Deltas. As pipelines are being completed, the consumption of natural gas in China would increase drastically, with the growth rate of about 20%, far higher than 2%-3%, the world average.
 
Chinese Market for Clean Energy-Powered Vehicles
 
Clean energy-powered vehicles, including CNG/LPG-powered vehicles and hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles are the end customers of our CNG/LPG retail business and filling stations. The rapidly growing number of automobiles running in Chinese urban areas has caused serious air pollution which forced the Chinese government and industries to seek alternatives to the conventional gas-powered vehicles. Natural gas-powered and hybrid powered vehicles, given their advantage in reducing emission and saving energy, have been viewed as clean energy vehicles and are highly favored by Chinese central and local policy makers. Chinese central government adopted various policies, including subsidy programs and tax incentive programs, to encourage the use of clean energy vehicles. At the local level, by the end of 2006, 19 cities have been designated as the key trial cities for the popularization of clean energy vehicles. These 19 cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Sichuan Province, Hainan Province, Xi’an, Urumchi, Changchun, Harbin, Guangzhou, Jinan, Qingdao, Yinchuan, Langfang, Puyang, Shenyang, Lanzhou and Dandong. As a result, more and more natural-gas filling stations were constructed to facilitate the rising demand for natural gas. From 1999 to 2004, the number of natural gas filling stations rose from 130 to 712, representing the annual growth rates at 34.3% and 32.2% for LPG filling stations and CNG filling stations, respectively.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our Company, before deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our Company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
 

Risks Related to Our Business

We are dependent on outside suppliers.

We do not own any natural gas field and reserve. We obtain our supplies of natural gas from outside supplier. The ability to deliver our product is dependent on a sufficient supply of natural gas and if we are unable to obtain a sufficient natural gas supply, it could prevent us making deliveries to our customers. While we have supply contracts with our suppliers, we do not control the government owned or other suppliers, nor are we able to control the amount of time and effort they put forth on our behalf. It is possible that our suppliers will not perform as expected, and that they may breach or terminate their agreements with us. Any failure to obtain supplies of natural gas could prevent us from delivering such to our customers and could have a material adverse affect on our business and financial condition.

Changes in the regulatory atmosphere could adversely affect our business.

The distribution of natural gas and operations of filling stations are highly regulated requiring registrations for the issuance of licenses required by various governing authorities in China. In addition, various standards must be met for filling stations including handling and storage of natural gas, tanker handling, and compressor operation which are regulated. The costs of complying with regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our business operations are subject to a high degree of risk and insurance may not be adequate to cover liabilities resulting from accidents or injuries that may occur.

Our operations are subject to potential hazards incident to the gathering, processing, separation and storage of natural gas, such as explosions, product spills, leaks, emissions and fires. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and pollution or other environmental damage, and may result in curtailment or suspension of our operations.
The occurrence of a significant event for which we are not fully insured or indemnified, and/or the failure of a party to meet its indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates it considers reasonable. To date, however, we have maintained adequate coverage at reasonable rates and have experienced no material uninsured losses.


We depend on our senior management’s experience and knowledge of the industry and would be adversely affected by the loss of any of our senior managers.

We are dependent on the continued efforts of our senior management team. We do not currently have employment contracts with our senior executives, though we are under effort to establish contractual relationship therewith. If, for any reason, our senior executives do not continue to be active in management, our business, or the financial condition of our Company, our results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, we do not maintain life insurance on our senior executives and other key employees.
 
 
13

 

Our inability to fund our capital expenditure requirements may adversely affect our growth and profitability.

Our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to generate more revenue from our existing distribution systems and raise capital from outside sources. We believe that in order to continue to capture additional market share, we will have to raise more capital to fund our business operations. In the future we may be unable to obtain the necessary financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our financial position, competitive position, growth and profitability. Our ability to obtain acceptable financing at any time may depend on a number of factors, including: Our financial condition and results of operations, the condition of the PRC economy and the natural gas industry in the PRC, and conditions in relevant financial markets in the United States, the PRC and elsewhere in the world. 

Risks Related to the People’s Republic of China

China’s economic policies could affect our business.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.

While China’s economy has experienced a significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been irregular, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.

The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Capital outflow policies in the People’s Republic of China may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency outside of the PRC. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required in those cases in which Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government also may at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

Although we do not import goods into or export goods out of the People’s Republic of China, fluctuation of the RMB may indirectly affect our financial condition by affecting the volume of cross-border money flow.

The value of the RMB fluctuates and is subject to changes in the People’s Republic of China political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including USD, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China which are set based upon the interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates of a basket of currencies on the world financial markets. As of December 31, 2008, the exchange rate between the RMB and the United States dollar was 6.8166RMB to every one USD.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in the People’s Republic of China.
 
 
 
14

 
Foreign companies conducting operations in the People’s Republic of China face significant political, economic and legal risks. The Communist regime in the People’s Republic of China, including a stifling bureaucracy may hinder Western investment.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in The People’s Republic of China.

The People’s Republic of China historically has been deficient in Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in The People’s Republic of China. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

Because our assets and operations are located in the P.R.China, you may have difficulty enforcing any civil liabilities against us under the securities and other laws of the United States or any state.

We are a holding company, and all of our assets are located in the P.R.China. In addition, our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these non-residents, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

There is uncertainty as to whether courts of the P.R.China would enforce:

Judgments of United States courts obtained against us or these non-residents based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or

In original actions brought in the P.R.China, liabilities against us or non-residents predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. Enforcement of a foreign judgment in the P.R.China also may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and will be subject to a statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit law enforcement availability.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, decided legal cases have little precedence. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 27 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Each of our PRC operating subsidiaries and affiliates is subject to PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations change frequently and the interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For instance, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we are entitled to by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting statutory and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative court proceedings and the level of law enforcement that we would receive in more developed legal systems. Such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the industries in which we operate, including the promulgation of new laws. This may include changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the availability of law enforcement, including our ability to enforce our agreements with the government entities and other foreign investors.

The admission of China into the World Trade Organization could lead to increased foreign competition.

Provincial and central government authorities regulate the natural gas industry for safety and ensure that all areas receive natural gas service. However, as a result of China becoming a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), restrictions on foreign investment in the industry may be reduced. With China’s need to meet growth in natural gas demand and the WTO’s requirement for a reduction of restrictions on foreign investment as a condition of membership, such events could lead to increased competition in the natural gas industry.
 
 
 
15

 
 
PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we could be subject to sanctions. In addition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business. We are considered a foreign person or foreign invested enterprise under PRC law. As a result, we are subject to PRC law limitations on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
 
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be adversely affected by complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulation of natural gas business and companies, including limitations on our ability to own key assets.

The PRC government regulates the natural gas industry including foreign ownership of, and the licensing and permit requirements pertaining to, companies in the natural gas industry. These laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be a violation of applicable laws and regulations. The interpretation and application of existing PRC laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies have created substantial uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments in, and the businesses and activities of, natural gas businesses in China, including our business.

Risks Related to Corporate and Stock Matters

Risks related to our common stock

The market price for our common stock may be volatile.

The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

¾  
Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results,
¾  
Announcements of new services by us or our competitors,
¾  
Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts,
¾  
Conditions in the energy recycling and saving services market,
¾  
Changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies involved in the same industry,
¾  
Announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments,
¾  
Additions or departures of key personnel,
¾  
Potential litigation, or
¾  
Conditions in the market.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Shareholders could experience substantial dilution.

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital.  If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our shareholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in the company.
 
 
 
16

 

We have no present intention to pay dividends.

Neither during the preceding two fiscal years nor during the year ended December 31, 2009, did we pay dividends or make other cash distributions on our common stock, nor do we expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings for working capital and to finance current operations and expansion of our business.

A large portion of our common stock is controlled by a small number of shareholders.

A large portion of our common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.  As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary   corporate transactions including business combinations.  In addition, the occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

We may be subject to "penny stock" regulations.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).  Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and our sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. Whenever any of our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, holders of those securities may have difficulty in selling those securities.

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.

Oracular Dragon is a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands and has its principal place of business in the People’s Republic of China. Oracular Dragon is neither a U.S Person, as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, nor is it located within the United States.

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”.

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 nine months or less.  Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts
 
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.
 
 
 
24

 
 

 
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
 
 
 
25

 

 
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. The 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.
 
 
 
26

 
 
(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.

Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008.  SFAS 157 has been codified as ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements.”  ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
 
 
27

 
 
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.

Segment Information
 
SFAS 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.
 
The Company has re-evaluated the structure of its organization and has determined, based on the requirements of SFAS 131, that the Company has the following three reportable segments, identified based on the nature of products, the type or class of customers, and the methods used to distribute the Company’s products:
 
1. Retail sales of Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) through operation of CNG filling stations;
 
2. Retail sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) through operation of LPG filling stations; and
 
3. Wholesale of CNG and LPG
 
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 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 January 2010, the FASB expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements relating to the transfers in and out of Level 2 measurements and amended the disclosure for the Level 3 activity reconciliation to be presented on a gross basis. In addition, valuation techniques and inputs should be disclosed for both Levels 2 and 3 recurring and nonrecurring measurements. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about the Level 3 activity reconciliation which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen adopted the new disclosure requirements on January 1, 2010 except for the disclosure related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be adopted on January 1, 2011. The adoption will not have an impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. The amendment modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements. Under the guidance, in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or other third party evidence (“TPE”) of the selling price for the deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement, this amendment requires companies to use an estimated selling price (“ESP”) for the individual deliverables. Companies shall apply the relative-selling price model for allocating an arrangement’s total consideration to its individual deliverables. Under this model, the ESP is used for both the delivered and undelivered elements that do not have VSOE or TPE of the selling price. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company intends to adopt the new guidance prospectively beginning January 1, 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which has become the single official source of authoritative nongovernmental US GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ASC is designed to simplify US GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

The Company’s consolidated revenue dropped to $23,784,437 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a 42.91% decrease from $41,661,322 reported for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from the following factors:

(a)     Due to the impact of global economic crisis, some of our LPG clients began to limit or stop their production capacity,  such as Guangming Gas Corporation of Guangzhou, Tianyuan Gas Corporation of Shuiye, Foshan Gas Company of Guangdong, etc, which led to the demand drop by 48.44%;
(b)       Along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the unit sales price of LPG dropped by 32%;
(c)       Since LPG tax cabs has been out of market in a large number of cities, the Government has approved a lot of CNG taxis, which, resulted in retail sales of liquefied petroleum gas drop by 65.03%.

Our consolidated net income decreased by 123.45% to $(247,138) for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $1,053,818 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was attributable to:

1)  
The decrease in sales revenue; Due to the impact of global economic crisis, the wholesale of LPG dropped by 48.44%; Along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the unit sales price of LPG dropped by 32%;

2)  
 The increase in the costs
a. Affected by the national energy policy, the LPG market is gradually shrinking. The business is under transition in Jinan city. Therefore, we gradually stopped our LPG stations operation and are planning to convert them into CNG stations; the cost of transition and maintenance of the company led to the decreased income;
b. which involved the relevant listing activities, such as audit fees, legal fees after our OTCBB listing on September 30, 2008.
c. Along with the increase in loans, interest expense increased.

Taking all these factors into consideration, our consolidated net income decreased by 123.45% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The revenue from CNG retail for the year ended December 31, 2009, increased by 23.44% as compared to that for the year ended December 31, 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 led to the dramatic increase of our CNG retail business;
2)  
West Jiefang Road gas station in Jiaozuo city was put into operation since Jan 2009, and Pingdingshan station was put into operation in March, 2009 and as such, the Company has six CNG operating gas stations at the moment, which led to the increase in CNG retail;

Comparing to last year, LPG business fell by 65.03% in retail sales, CNG/LPG business fell by 48.44% in wholesale. The decrease 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, tax cabs 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 adversely impacted the Chinese economy. Some of our clients limited or even
3)  
stopped their production capacity, which led to the decline in our wholesale business.
 
 
 
 
31

 
 
“Others” decreased by 4.10% 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 year ended December 31, 2009 was $20,894,107 which is 87.85% of total revenues and represents a 43.66% decrease as compared to $37,085,144 and 89.02% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in COGS as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to:

1)  
The decrease of Revenue led to the same ratio 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. These measures includes: centralized purchasing to obtain lower prices of raw materials, maintaining long-term stable cooperative relations with the existing gas source suppliers, increasing the development of new gas suppliers; to solving gas supply problems and reduce the cost of sales by the way of joint venture and self-built CNG mother stations,  to reduce fluctuations in the COGS.

Gross profit margin of CNG retail decreased, which was mainly because: along with the increasing demand in CNG, furious market competition, and the impact of the domestic petroleum retail price, CNG retail price decreased slightly, which caused the corresponding slight gross margin decrease.

Gross profit margin of LPG retail increased, which was mainly because: along with the decrease of international crude oil price, the purchasing cost of LPG decreased, but retail price remain stable as before, which led to the great increase of gross margin.

Raw Material Procurement

We were able to maintain relatively low purchase price even during the strong fluctuation of LPG price.

SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 mainly included the salary of sales personnel and transportation cost. For the year ended December 31, 2009, selling expenses amounted to $2,037,586, representing 8.57% 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 selling expenses in 2009 decreased by 19.92% as compare to $2,544,350 for the year
ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the transportation cost decreased by 31.58% to approximately $1,060,698 compared with approximately $1, 550,300 in 2008.
 
 
 
32

 

The main reason was that along with the sales decreased, the transportation cost decreased. The major component of selling expenses is transportation cost. The company mainly uses tank trucks to transport its products.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, mainly included the salary and welfare of the management personnel and office related expenses. The total of $1,117,046 represented 4.70% of total revenue.The main reason is that: although the sales decreased, the fixed costs such as salary, welfare and office related expenses did not decrease.


FINANCE COSTS

The financial expenses mainly consisted of interest expenses and bank charges. For fiscal year 2009, it was $88,444 representing 0.37% of total revenue. For fiscal year 2008, it was $34,931 representing 0.08% of total revenue. As of December 31, 2009, Origin Orbit did not borrow money from any financial institution in China.

The reason for the increase was that Anyang Prosperous, as one of its subsidiaries took a one-year loan of $440,110 from Bank of China in Anyang with an interest rate of 6.372%. It was mainly used for working capital in the normal operation of the company, and it will solve the company's temporary funding requirements for purchasing of goods. The loan will make the company's cash flow more flexible, as well as providing sufficient funds to carry out more activities.

OPERATING INCOME

The Company's consolidated operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by 122.86% to ($264,301) from $1,156,191 reported for the year ended December 31, 2008. This was mainly due to:

1) The business of LPG retails was shrinking as a result of the global financial crisis, which led to the decline of our revenue.
2) The increase in purchasing costs. Along with the increasing demand for natural gas, suppliers’ mark-up lead to an increase in CNG purchasing cost compared with 2008;
3) Operating expense stayed consistent from period to period.

We are positive about the future increase in the operating income as we will continue building new CNG filling stations as 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 improvements in the internal management, enhance the management efficiency and reducing management costs, that will also improve margins.
 
We are positive about the future increase in the net income as it will benefit from:
 
a)  
We will continue building new CNG filling stations as to expand our market share, such as Linying mother station will be completed and put into operation in June 2010,  the second gas station  in Changzhi is being in approval, which will be built up by the end of 2010;
b)  
Prudent cost controls on both the production and operating components of our business. Through the measures of centralized purchasing to obtain lower prices of raw materials; to maintain long-term stable cooperative relations with the existing gas source supplier; to increase the development of new gas source suppliers; to solve gas supply problems and reduce cost of sales by the way of equity participation and self-built CNG mother station, so as to reduce fluctuations in the COGS;
c)  
We are also looking forward to reorganization and optimization of existing management processes, improvement of internal management, increase of management efficiency and reduction of administrative costs, which led to the increase of our profits.

NET INCOME

The net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was ($247,138) or (1.04%) of revenues, comparing to $1,053,818 and 2.53% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The net income decreased by123.45% compared with 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 remained consistent , which caused the decrease of profit margin;
2)  
The low profit margin of the LPG wholesale business which accounted for 75.28% of the revenues.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary source of liquidity had been cash generated from operations. 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. If our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will not 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 December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 989,427 and $1,034,387 respectively.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Net cash flow used in operating activities was (4,609,569) for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $2,290,961 for the year ended December 31,2008, representing a decrease of $6,900,530 or 301.21%. Along with the recovery of Chinese economy, we will maintain long-term stable cooperative relations with our existing gas source suppliers; increase the development of new gas suppliers; to solve gas supply problems and reduce cost of sales by the way of joint venture and self-built CNG mother stations, so as to reduce fluctuations in the COGS; so that cash flow used in operating activities will meet our liquidity requirements.
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.
3)  
As the liquefied petroleum gas prices fluctuating, the company reduced inventory volume, thereby it affected the cash flow generated from operating activities.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was ($8,036,167) for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of ($3,577,333) for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $4,458,834 or 124.64%. The increase of net cash flow used in investing activities was mainly due to: On December 9, 2009, Anyang Prosperous acquired 15% of the shares Henan Ancai Energy Co., Ltd. through a public auction and paid 5, 478,816 to Henan Zhen Ye Auction Co., Ltd. equivalent to the auction price as investment deposit on December 14, 2009.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $12,608,405 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,081,558 for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $11,526,847 or 1065.76%. This is mainly due to increased borrowing of the short-term bank loans from financial institutions and loans from other third entities.

We do not believe that inflation had a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

As of December 31, 2009, our total assets were $28,308,333 and our total liabilities were $17,780,019. Our debt to asset ratio, calculated as total liabilities (including short-term debt and payables) over total assets, was 0.63:1.

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.

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 State of 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. Meanwhile, according to Rule 28 of New CIT Law, income tax of small low-profit enterprises is subject to the reduced rate of 20%. Changzhi Company as one of the Company’s subsidiaries meets the conditions of small low-profit enterprises, so Changzhi Company’s income tax rate of 20% in 2009.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.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 transaction 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 2– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis Of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CHPC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). No events requiring recognition or disclosures were identified for this period.
 
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, the related disclosure of contingent 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
 
In accordance with ASC 230-10 (formerly SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”), the Company considers all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three 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 represents time deposits pledged against short-term bank facilities. Restricted cash is classified as current assets as the maturity of the short-term bank facilities is within one year.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are stated at historical 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. As of December 31, 2009, the company has evaluated each of the accounts receivable balances and determined that they are collectable. As such, no allowance for doubtful accounts was prepared.
 
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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Investment in Non Consolidated Entities
 
Investment in non consolidated entities represents 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 and 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 ASC 805-10 (formerly 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 consolidated balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property 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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Asset Impairment
 
3)  
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.

 
4)  
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.
 
Fair Value Measurement And Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008.  SFAS 157 has been codified as ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements.”  ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
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 ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". ASC 740-10 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.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
ASC 220-10 (formerly SFAS No.130), “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:
 

 
 
December 31, 2009
December 31, 2008
Balance sheet items, except for paid-in capital
   
  and retained earnings, as of the years ended
US$1:RMB 6.8166
US$1:RMB 6.8542
     
Amounts included in the statements of
   
  income, statements of stockholders’ equity
   
  and statements of cash flows for the years
   
  ended
US$1:RMB 6.8208
US$1:RMB 6.96225

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Segment Information
 
ASC 280-10 (formerly SFAS 131), “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.
 
The Company has re-evaluated the structure of its organization and has determined, based on the requirements of ASC 280-10, that the Company has the following three reportable segments, identified based on the nature of products, the type or class of customers, and the methods used to distribute the Company’s products:
 
▪  
Retail sales of Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) through operation of CNG filling stations;
▪  
Retail sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) through operation of LPG filling stations; and
▪  
Wholesale of CNG and LPG
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company follows ASC 450-10 (formerly 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 January 2010, the FASB expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements relating to the transfers in and out of Level 2 measurements and amended the disclosure for the Level 3 activity reconciliation to be presented on a gross basis. In addition, valuation techniques and inputs should be disclosed for both Levels 2 and 3 recurring and nonrecurring measurements. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about the Level 3 activity reconciliation which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen adopted the new disclosure requirements on January 1, 2010 except for the disclosure related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be adopted on January 1, 2011. The adoption will not have an impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. The amendment modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements. Under the guidance, in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or other third party evidence (“TPE”) of the selling price for the deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement, this amendment requires companies to use an estimated selling price (“ESP”) for the individual deliverables. Companies shall apply the relative-selling price model for allocating an arrangement’s total consideration to its individual deliverables. Under this model, the ESP is used for both the delivered and undelivered elements that do not have VSOE or TPE of the selling price. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company intends to adopt the new guidance prospectively beginning January 1, 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which has become the single official source of authoritative nongovernmental US GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ASC is designed to simplify US GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

Note 7 – Deferred Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax asset of $50,397 as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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 December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
Note 8 – Goodwill
 
Balance as of December 31, 2009
  $ 60,330  
Foreign currency exchange adjustment
    -  
         
Adjusted balance as of December 31, 2009
  $ 60,330  

 
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 ASC 450-10 (formerly SFAS No 141(R)), “Business Combinations”. As of December 31, 2009, no impairment was noted or recorded.
 
Note 9 – Investment in Non-consolidated Entity
 
As of December 31, 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
 
 
 
 
52

 
 
Note 9 – Investment in Non-consolidated Entity (continued)
 
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 December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no allowance for impairment loss.
 
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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2009. Therefore, Anyang PetroChina has been accounted for using the cost method instead of the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, dividend income of $313,709 and $308,337, respectively, from Anyang Petro China was included in other income.

Note 14 – Statutory Reserve
 
In accordance with the PRC Companies Law, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries were required to transfer 10% of their profits after tax, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations of the PRC, to the statutory surplus reserve and a percentage of not less than 5%, as determined by management, of the profits after tax to the public welfare fund. 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 company provided the statutory surplus reserve of $260,836 and $225,893 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Note 15 – 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 State of 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. Meanwhile, according to Rule 28 of New CIT Law, income tax of small low-profit enterprises is subject to the reduced rate of 20%. Changzhi Company as one of the Company’s subsidiaries meets the conditions of small low-profit enterprises, so Changzhi Company’s income tax rate of 20% in 2009.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:

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share
 
The Company presents earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings plus convertible preferred dividends and interest expense (after-tax) on convertible debt by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of equity securities. The weighted average number of common shares calculated for diluted EPS excludes the potential common stock that would be exercised under the options and warrants granted to officers because the inclusion of the potential shares from these options and warrants would cause an anti-dilutive effect by increasing the net earnings per share.

As of December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, all of the Company’s sales arose in the PRC. In addition, all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were due from customers located in the PRC.

Note 19 – Segment Information
 
ASC 280-10 (formerly SFAS 131), “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.
 
The Company has re-evaluated the structure of its organization and has determined, based on the requirements of SFAS 131, that the Company has the following three reportable segments, identified based on the nature of products, the type or class of customers, and the methods used to distribute the Company’s products:
 
▪  
Retail sales of Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) through operation of CNG filling stations;
▪  
Retail sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) through operation of LPG filling stations; and
▪  
Wholesale of CNG and LPG
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009, all of the Company’s operations were carried out in one geographical segment – China.
 
The following table sets out the Company’s segment information. The "Unallocated" column in the following table contains the reconciliation between the amounts for reportable segments and the consolidated amounts, which consists primarily of corporate items not allocated to the operating segments, intersegment eliminations. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if sales were to third parties.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
 
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
CEO and CFO Certifications
 
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
 
58

 
 
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
