ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We (sometimes referred to herein as “CEC,” “Company,” “we” or “our”) produce coal through our operating company located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Inner Mongolia Tehong Coal Group Co, Ltd. (“Coal Group”) and supply heating and electricity requirements throughout the XueJiaWan district through our other operating company located in the PRC, Inner Mongolia Zhunger Heat Power Co., Ltd. (“Heat Power,”  and collectively with Coal Group, the “Operating Companies”). We acquired control over these operating companies  on November 30, 2004.

Operating Companies
 
Inner Mongolia Tehong Coal Group Co., Ltd.
 
Coal Group, organized in China on August 8, 2000, produces coal from the LaiYeGou coal mine located in Erdos City, Inner Mongolia, PRC.  Since the acquisition of LaiYeGou in 1999, Coal Group’s principal activities consist of the production of “powered” coal and “lump” coal from raw coal and the sale of products to heating and power industries, distributors and coking factories for steel production.  Coal Group also buys, sells, and transports coal,  as part of its proprietary coal trading activities.
 
The following table reflects the tonnage of coal produced and purchased from external sources by the Coal Group in the past 5 years:
Year
 
Produced
   
Purchased from 
Third Parties
 
2005
    612,739       100,358  
2006
    549,970       3,572  
2007
    459,055       132,764  
2008
    264,098 *     50,000  
2009
    453,430       154,584  
 

 
*            Production levels dropped in 2008 as a result of the mine being shut down for three months as a result of expansion efforts and also due to an additional two months shut down mandated by the PRC government during the 2008 summer Olympics.
 
Inner Mongolia Zhunger Heat Power Co., Ltd. (“Heat Power”)
 
Heat Power has two distinct operations servicing customers in the XueJiaWan district in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia.  Heat Power supplies (i) steam heating and (ii) electricity to end users.  In 2003, Heat Power was granted a license to supply heating to the entire XueJiaWan district. In order to have sufficient heating supply, in 2004 Heat Power began construction on a thermoelectric plant which was completed in September 2006. In conjunction with the thermoelectric plant, Heat Power also owns and operates 21 heat transfer stations.
 
Heat Power is a regulated utility company and it meets the current regulatory requirements applicable to such companies.  Heat Power supplies electricity to its customers through a government controlled intermediary, Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group Co., Ltd. (“Electric Power Group”).  Electric Power Group is also subject to regulated utility company rules and regulations consisting of compliance with safety and environmental standards. In addition, the prices charged by the Company are approved by the local government. The government reviews the price of heating and electricity from time to time as market conditions change. We purchase coal from suppliers to fuel our boilers at market prices; therefore, we bear the risk that market prices for raw materials exceed the regulated prices paid by end users.  We receive governmental subsidies from time to time to offset this risk.
 
In the XueJiaWan area, hardly anyone owns a home boiler. Accordingly, Heat Power can supply heat through its closed pipeline system to residents that do not have a home heating system . Water is first heated in the Company’s thermoelectric plant using coal burning boilers and then piped directly to homes and public buildings, including private dwellings, businesses, as well as municipal facilities.  The water is then piped back to the thermoelectric plant with the process repeating again. The following diagram illustrates the heat supply pipeline system:

Heat Power obtains its supply of powdered coal required to generate heat production principally from Zhunger County Guanbanwusu Coalmine (“Guanbanwusu”), an unrelated third party vendor. It also obtains coal from various other coal mines in the area. We do not supply Heat Power with coal for fuel.
 
Corporate Structure and PRC Regulatory Requirements
 
CEC was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 11, 2002 for the purpose of producing coal to meet the increasing demand in power and heating industries and also to provide heat and electricity to networks in rural developments. CEC was considered a shell company until it entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) to acquire its operating companies, Coal Group and Heat Power, on November 30, 2004 (the “2004 Share Exchange”).  Mr. Ding, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and his family owned substantially all of the shares of Coal Group and held an indirect majority interest in Heat Power.  Although CEC is the legal survivor of this acquisition and is the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby Coal Group is considered the “acquirer” of CEC for financial reporting purposes as its shareholders control a majority of the post transaction combined company.

 
Page 5 of 67

 
 
We control our operating companies through a series of contractual arrangements as opposed to through direct record ownership, and the enforceability of our claim to legal ownership of Coal Group and Heat Power under such contractual arrangements may be subject to risk under PRC law.
 
On September 8, 2006, new regulations came into effect concerning the merger and acquisition of domestic PRC companies by foreign investors (“New Regulations”) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce and other regulatory departments.  CEC determined that, under the New Regulations, CEC was required to undergo an application process to convert each of Coal Group and Heat Power from a domestic PRC company to a Foreign Invested Enterprise (“FIE”) pursuant to which a FIE business license would be obtained. In doing so, the acquisition of both the companies by CEC under the New Regulations would be classified under a type of acquisition called “Equity Acquisition” pursuant to which CEC, being the foreign investor, would invest cash equity interest into both companies with the acquisition price to be determined by an asset valuation of both companies prepared by a PRC asset valuation company as approved by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC. The asset valuation would be based on PRC generally accounting standards and not based on US generally accepted accounting principles. The acquisition price and hence asset valuation could not exceed certain guidelines established by the Ministry of Commerce (“FIE Guidelines”).
 
On December 30, 2007, CEC acquired Pacific Projects Inc. (“PPI”), a Nevada company with no assets, liabilities, or equity. CEC holds 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI, or 5,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001.  On December 31, 2007, PPI entered into a trust agreement with all the registered shareholders of Coal Group (members of the family of WenXiang Ding, Chairman of the Company) and Heat Power (members of  the Ding family indirectly owning the majority interest), pursuant to which all of the shareholders agreed to hold their interests in Coal Group and Heat Power (represented by their registered paid up capital contributions to date) in trust for PPI for an eight year term, extendable for five additional years. Under the plan contemplated by the trust agreement, PPI planned to raise the monies required by the FIE Guidelines to convert each of Coal Group and Heat Power to a FIE eligible business pursuant to which a FIE business license would be issued.  Under the FIE proposed arrangement Coal Group would have become a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC and Heat Power would be 51% owned by Coal Group and 49% owned by registered shareholders in the PRC in trust for CEC.In accordance with the FIE Guidelines, based upon the registered paid up capital of Coal Group as of November 30, 2008 of approximately $8.5 million (or RMB 60 million), the acquisition price would not be greater than two and a half times this amount or $21.25 million. The 49% registered paid up capital of Heat Power (CEC’s total interest in Heat Power) as of November 30, 2008 was approximately $3.4 million (RMB 24.5 million) so that the acquisition price would not be greater than two times this amount or $6.8 million in accordance with the Ministry of Commerce guidelines. PPI intended to fund the acquisition price by funds raised pursuant to a share trust agreements dated January 3, 2008 with Georgia Pacific Investments Inc. (“GPI”) and Axim Holdings Ltd. (“Axim”).  The sole shareholder and director of each of GPI and Axim is Yi Ding, son of WenXiang Ding, our President and Chief Executive Officer.  The controlling shareholders of CEC transferred their shares to GPI and Axim to be held in trust with the view that such entities would sell the shares in the open market in order to fund the plan to convert Coal Group and Heat Power into FIEs to raise the mandated acquisition price.  As of November 30, 2009, GPI held 20,589,107 shares and Axim held 10,000,000 shares, totaling 30,589,107 shares.  We deemed the 30,589,107 shares held by GPI and Axim to comprise a portion of the 45,000,000 currently outstanding shares of CEC.  The shares were never sold under this arrangement because the Company determined that an alternative structure would be better suited for the Company.  The Company determined that by using an alternative structure involving the use of “variable interest entities” or VIEs to reduce any regulatory risks relating to the foreign ownership structure of the Company. Pursuant to this approach, the Company would forgo any right to registered ownership of the Coal Group and Heat Power  contemplated by the 2004 Share Exchange, and would instead permit registered ownership of Coal Group and Heat Power  to continue to be held by all or certain of the PRC shareholders (the “VIE Shareholders”).  The plan requires the Company  to establish a new indirect subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the PRC (“CEC China”) which would enter into a series of contractual arrangements with the VIE Shareholders so that the control and the economic benefits and costs of ownership of the Operating Companies would flow directly to CEC China through a series of management and business cooperation agreements.  CEC China would also have the option to purchase the equity interests in Coal Group and Heat Power held by the VIE Shareholders.  The VIE Shareholders would pledge their equity interests in Coal Group and Heat Power as security for their agreement to comply with provisions of the management and cooperation agreements and would provide CEC China with a power of attorney to exercise all their shareholder rights in Coal Group and Heat Power.  The contractual arrangements under the VIE structure are intended to comply with, and be enforceable under, applicable PRC law, and would adequately reduce any PRC regulatory risk without the capital contributions necessary under the FIE plan initially proposed by the Company.  In connection with the planned VIE restructuring, the Company and the PRC Shareholders have entered into a framework contract in July 2009 pursuant to which the Company and the VIE Shareholders have agreed to enter into the aforementioned agreements.

 
Page 6 of 67

 
 
Pending the consummation of the VIE restructuring, the Company still continues to control Coal Group and Heat Power. The evidence of the Company’s ownership of Coal Group and Heat Power is reflected by the continued memorialization of the intent of the original shareholders of the Operating Companies to transfer the business of Coal Group and Heat Power  to the Company, the actions of the original shareholders consistent with this view, and the validity and enforceability of the framework contract under PRC law.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the consummation of the VIE restructuring, the enforceability of the Company’s legal ownership under PRC law could be subject to risk or challenge.  We believe that the likelihood of the Company’s claim to legal ownership being at risk or challenged is low.  In our view, there is a hypothetical risk that a challenge could arise from an action initiated by either one or more of the original shareholders of Coal Group and Heat Power, or by a third-party claiming that it received shares of Coal Group and Heat Power from one or more of the original shareholders following the date of the 2004 Share Exchange, in each case in violation of the intent of the  Exchange Agreement.   Given the contractual agreements and representations of the original shareholders under the Exchange Agreement, the PPI trust agreement and the framework contract, we do not believe this to be a material risk.  Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, the actions of the original shareholders of Coal Group and Heat Power have been consistent with this view. Given the foregoing, we plan and expect to maintain control over Coal Group and Heat Power pending the VIE restructuring.  We do not believe that there is any reasonably possible liability associated with past operations that would arise as a result of our current ownership status over Coal Group and Heat Power.  We do not believe that our current ownership over Coal Group and Heat Power materially adversely affects the ability of Coal Group and Heat Power to obtain licenses, permits, or other authorizations that are necessary to conduct business operations and commerce.
 
Coal Group
 
Acquisition of LaiYeGou Mine and related Mining Rights
 
All land in the PRC belongs to the PRC government.  Property acquisition in the PRC is through 50 or 70 year lease agreements and this is the only type of ownership permitted in the PRC. The Company’s State Owned Land Usage Certificate covers the land and allows the Company to use the storage facility, office and “dormitory” for such period.  We acquired the rights to the LaiYeGou mine and the land surrounding the mine in June 1999 for a period of 50 years.   In addition, Coal Group has all six required governmental approvals necessary to mine the reserves in the LaiYeGou mine.
 
The regulatory body responsible for approving the rights to the mine is the Provincial Bureau of National Land and Resource, a division of the PRC government. In December 2005, in accordance with governmental policy, Coal Group’s mining right was assessed to have a value of approximately $3.7 million. This mining right is regarded as an intangible asset currently being amortized using the units of production methodology. As of November 30, 2008, we have fulfilled our obligations and have made full payment for the right.
 
The LaiYeGou mine is an underground operation capable of producing 800,000 metric tons of coal per year after undergoing a two year infrastructure expansion and improvement program which was completed in 2008.  Full production resumed in 2009 following the adjustments made to the facility.  The cost of the expansion and improvements was  approximately $10 million and was financed through shareholder and bank loans.  The expansion included the installation of “longwall” mining equipment, the construction of wider laneways for access to the mine and from mine to coal field, construction of seven work stations and emergency exits and improvements to the draught system.

 
Page 7 of 67

 
 
Occupying an area of 230.3 hectares (approximately 569 acres) at Dongsheng Coalfield near Dongsheng City, the LaiYe Gou mine has established proven and probable reserves of 26.09 million metric tons.  The raw coal produced is non caking coal which does not fuse together or cake when heated but burns freely and is used mainly for heating and electric power generation.  It has a high ash melting point with high thermal value used almost exclusively as fuel for steam-electric power.  It has low sulphur, low ash and low phosphorus content with heating capability of 6,800 -7,000 Kilocalories (“Kcal”). With such minimal harmful chemical content, it meets the stringent environmental standards set by the central government of the PRC.
 
Reserves Survey
 
A survey of the district of Hongjingta was performed by No. 153 Exploration Team of Inner Mongolia Coalfield Geological Bureau in 2005, covering an area of 7,800 hectares (approximately 19,266 acres). The LaiYeGou mine is included in the Hongjingta district and represents approximately 3% of the total survey area (or 230.3 hectares; approximately 569 acres). The survey consisted of 3,454 samples including 184 outcrops (a body of rock exposed at the surface of the Earth), 140 trenches and 32 drilling samples. The distance between each sample is 4,428 hectares (approximately 10,937 acres).
 
The recoverable reserves in the mine decrease gradually and as of the fiscal year end, the recoverable reserves equaled approximately 8,000,000 metric tons.  All reported reserves will be mined out within the period of the existing 50 year permit.
 
Proven and Probable Reserves
 
The following definitions apply to our mining operations as described in Industry Guide 7 of the Securities Act Industry Guides:
 
·
Reserve. That part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.  Reserves are customarily stated in terms of “ore” when dealing with metalliferous minerals; when other materials such as coal, oil, shale, tar, sands, limestone, etc. are involved, an appropriate term such as “recoverable coal” may be substituted.
 
·
Proven (Measured) Reserves. Reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.
 
·
Probable (Indicated) Reserves. Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measure) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
 
As of March 2005, the reserves in the LaiYeGou mine were as follows (in thousand metric ton units):

Proven reserves
    21,160  
         
Probable reserves*
    4,930  
         
Total reserve
    26,090  
 
* Probable reserves are assigned to existing facilities whereby existing infrastructure and equipment allows these reserves to be mined at current production levels.
 
The accuracy and risks associated with Proven Reserves are less than of Probable Reserves due to the assumption of continuity of coal layers between sample points.

 
Page 8 of 67

 
 
With the exception of reserves currently developing, all other reserves have been assigned to existing facilities and determined for sorting or for packaging of mixed coal.
 
The following table shows the mined-out reserves, mining recovery and coal production for the mine:

Year
 
Mined- out Reserves

Coal Produced
 
                         
2006
    1,374,927       40 %     549,970  
                         
2007

2009
    566,788       80 %     453,430  
 
Coal Specifications
 
The British Thermal Unit (“BTU”) per pound is 12,322.98. One BTU is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at its maximum density, which occurs at a temperature of 39.1 degrees Fahrenheit. One BTU is equal to approximately 251.9 calories or 1055 joules.
 
Coal produced from the LaiYeGou mine  does not undergo any washing or any other preparation prior to the sale to customers as its raw form is satisfactory in meeting the needs and requirements of such customers. As a result, the LaiYeGou mine does not have wash plant facilities nor it is necessary to account for dilution of its products.
 
The sulphur content is 0.5 pounds per million BTU or (St,d): 0.19% and deemed to be compliant coal as non compliance coal emits greater than 3.0 pounds of sulphur dioxide per million BTU when burned.  The heat valve is 25 million BTU/ton (29MJ/kg).
 
Mining Method
 
Coal Group currently uses the “longwall” production of mining whereby large rectangular blocks of coal are defined during the development stage of the mine and are then extracted in a single continuous operation. Each defined block of coal, known as a panel, is created by driving a set of headings from main or trunk roadways in the mine, some distance into the panel.  The panel or block of coal up to 1,000 feet wide and two or three miles long is completely extracted. The working area is protected by movable hydraulic powered roof supports called shields. The longwall employs a shearer, with two rotating cutting drums, which is dragged mechanically back and forth across the coal face. The coal which is cut falls onto a heavy chain conveyor which delivers it to a belt conveyor system for removal out of the mine. The longwall shields advance with the machine as mining proceeds and provide not only high levels of production but also increased miner safety.
 
Longwall mining systems employ sensors to detect how much coal remains in the seam being mined as well as robotic controls to enhance efficiency. Microprocessors record seam data as a longwall miner makes its initial pass, subsequent passes then follow the previous route resulting in high efficiencies.
 
With the use of a longwall system, the amount of coal which is recovered in a given area increases from 40% to as much as 80%. The carefully planned longwall process has a positive influence on minimizing the effects of subsidence. Gradual or occasionally abrupt collapse of rock layers sometimes occurs between an underground mine and the surface. With the longwall operation, such ground movements are completed in a shorter period of time and the settling process occurs in a more uniform and predictable manner helping to minimize surface impacts. Our recent change to a longwall system has led to a significant increase in our efficiency and production.

Screening, Crushing and Loading Facilities
 
We use an automatic conveyor system to filter and divide the coal into powdered and lump coal.  We do not have crushing facilities. We also do not have washing facilities and therefore do not incur losses of product from this process.  Our loading facilities consist of equipment leased by the contractor. We require the use of four loaders with the capacity of 1.5 tons each.
 
Transportation Infrastructure
 
Customers of goods produced at LaiYeGou mine provide their own transportation of goods from production to their desired location.  Coal sold as part of our trading activities is transported at our expense using third party contractors..
 
Resources and Utilities
 
The source of water for the mine is from Zhunger Keyuan Water Supply Co., Ltd, a public utility company owned by the government.  The source of power is provided by the Agricultural Power Supply Bureau and the Erdos Power Industry Bureau, public utility companies owned by the government.
 
Coal Products
 
Coal Group’s main products are “powdered” coal and “lump” coal, representing approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, of Coal Group’s production volume.
 
·
Lump Coal.  We sell lump coal to local customers that resell to distributors or end-users for heating purposes.
 
·
Powdered Coal.  We sell powdered coal principally to distributors that resell the products to power stations for electricity and heat generation purposes.

Regulatory Compliance
 
In order to maintain our business license, we are required to pass random periodic safety inspections which check for gas and water seepage, ventilation, communication methods between in and outside of mine, any breach of environmental laws and certifications of employees who work in the mine. Mine managers and staff must be trained and have mine management qualification certificates obtained through the Coal Safety Production Bureau. To date, we have not breached any of the rules and regulations rendering our mine unsafe. Mine managers on site perform daily safety inspections.

Future demand for coal
 
Integral to China’s industrial expansion and related energy demand escalation at the present time, the PRC government is encouraging sectors to build more power stations, coking factories, calcium carbide factories and silicon iron factories across the country. As a consequence, the future demand in China for coal remains strong; a key factor underpinning the output of power stations and such factories potentially reaching 1.820 billion metric tons in 2010 and 2.100 billion metric tons by 2020. However, estimates of supply deficiencies also are sizable at 250 million metric tons and 700 million metric tons in 2010 and 2020, respectively.
 
Diesel is an alternative competing factor to coal; however, it is generally not used as most energy generation plants and users are only equipped to receive coal as a raw material. The use of diesel is also not cost effective as it is four times higher in price compared to coal products; however, diesel has a higher energy rate per ton compared to coal.
 
Heat Power
 
Overview
 
Heat Power was founded in September 2003 in XueJiaWan Town, Inner Mongolia. Since its inception, Heat Power operated an existing heat power plant in XueJiaWan as part of its agreement with the Zhunger County government to phase out the existing heating plant for development of a more efficient and effective plant with heating and electricity generation capabilities pursuant to the terms of its license granted by the government.
 
Heat Supply License
 
On July 29, 2003 Heat Power was granted a license by the Zhunger County government to provide centralized heating service to the entire XueJiaWan area, including Donghua and Yinze residential area. The license was granted for an undetermined period of time provided that Heat Power maintains production capabilities and predetermined prices set by the Zhunger County government.  Heating requirements are supplied throughout the XueJiaWan area through underground pipelines. Existing pipelines are used and in new areas expanded.   The PRC government has constructed new networks for this area.
 
Thermoelectric Plant
 
Heat Power completed construction of a thermoelectric plant in December 2005 which was put into operation effective September 2006. The thermoelectric plant allows for a centralized heat and electricity supply in the area with 110,400,000 mega joules and 144,000 megawatts, respectively generated per year.
 
Heat Power has two distinct operations: supplies steam heating directly to end users throughout the XueJiaWan district in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, and it also supplies electricity through Electric Power Group .  Heat Power has also constructed additional heat transfer stations, totaling 21 to date, to improve the efficiencies and reliability of the thermoelectric plant. Heat Power also buys steam from third parties to ensure a stable and reliable heat supply as we increased our service coverage area.
 
Heat Power will require approximately 160,000 metric tons of powdered coal to sustain current operations. Guanbanwusu will supply 120,000 of the required metric tons of coal per year on a non contracted basis.  The remainder will be sourced from other smaller supliers.
 
Supply of Powered Coal
 
The powdered coal required to generate heating is supplied principally by Guanbanwusu and has a heating capability of 4,600-4,900 kcal and is low sulphur, low phosphorus, medium ash, with a high ash melting point, which satisfies the government Environmental Protection Standard and is regarded as environmentally friendly coal. The coal must have a minimum heating capacity of 4,600 Kcal or reduction of price per ton is implemented. Guanbanwusu is responsible for transporting coal to the plants.
 
Heat Power also obtains its supply of powdered coal from other suppliers with which it has no formal agreement. Suppliers are hesitant to enter into agreements for a fixed price as a result of the price of coal fluctuating on an upward trend.

 
Page 11 of 67

 
 
Tax Exemption
 
The Ministry of Finance and National Tax Administration Bureau has granted Value Added Tax (“VAT”) exemptions for residential heat supply industries operating in certain Chinese provinces where VAT applicable on revenue will not be required to be remitted or withheld, respectively. The exemption is effective through the end of 2010.
 
Competition
 
Coal Group
 
Due to existing market conditions as discussed above, the Company does not face any competition in the usual sense of the term. There are approximately 30,000 coal mining companies throughout China; however, since demand currently exceeds supply, competition is not a primary concern in the operation of our business. We currently anticipate that China’s coal industry will remain a large, growing and chronically under-supplied customer base for the foreseeable future.
 
Although there are pressures from the PRC government to use clean and other alternative energies instead of coal due to environmental concerns; coal reserves in China are abundant and less expensive and a switch to other forms of resources to generate energy is unlikely.
 
Heat Power
 
Heat Power does not have competition as it holds an exclusive license to supply heating and electricity to serviced areas. Competition in obtaining such license are largely mitigated by a good review of operating history by the PRC government.  A license  is granted for an undetermined period of time given that production capabilities and prices are maintained. As long as heat is supplied to the specified area, there are no termination provisions.
 
Patents, Trademarks and Labor Contracts
 
We do not have any trademarks on our trade name or logo or patents on our products or production processes.
 
Employees
 
Management believes that relations with its employees are good.
 
Coal Group
 
Coal Group has a total 150 contracted staff to operate the LaiYeGou coal mine working in the mine under the supervision of one contractor, Zhangjiakou Coal Group, and 40 full time employees.  Coal Group has an agreement with Zhangjiakou Coal Group expiring in 2015.  Li Guanghua from Zhangjiakou Coal Group is responsible for all areas of production and processing.
 
The 40 employees fill positions in its Administration, Accounting, Sales, Finance & Securities, and Management department.  The Administration department is responsible for human resources, training, and payroll. The department also evaluates all processes to ensure certain levels of efficiency are maintained and provides any support services to other departments should the need arise.  The Accounting department is responsible for compliance with accounting principles and national tax laws, bookkeeping, preparing budgets and analysis of financial reports.  The Sales department is responsible for arranging transportation, market research and customer service.  The Finance and Securities department is responsible for all corporate matters relating to preparation of contracts and maintaining corporate books and records.  The Management department is responsible for overall direction and marketing efforts. This department oversees all other departments.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
 
Coal Group
 
Principal Business Office
 
Our principal business office is located at No.57, Xinhua East Street, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia, where our sales, legal, administration, accounting, finance and management departments are located. The third floor is approximately 5,050 square feet and is kept in good condition.
 
The office building was purchased by our President, Mr. Ding, in July 1998 on behalf of Coal Group and he subsequently transferred title to Coal Group once it obtained a business license. The full purchase price has been paid and no amounts remain outstanding for this property. The building has 3 floors and is 14,674 square feet.
 
We occupy the third floor and the first and second floors are occupied by XianGrong Commercial & Trade Co., Ltd where they operate a restaurant. Coal Group provides this space in exchange for property maintenance and catering services. Catering services and various banquets held throughout the year for promotion purposes cost approximately $25,000. Only expenses exceeding $25,000 are paid.
 
The land on which the office building is situated is leased from the PRC government or previous holders of the lease for a period of 50 years, expiring in 2048. A lease from the PRC government grants use of land by obtaining a State Owned Land Usage Certificate and a lease obtained through previous lease holders grants use of land by obtaining a Collective Land Usage Certificate. Land in China cannot be owned and the only form of ownership is by way of lease for a period of up to 50 years. A regulation Coal Group must comply with in order to keep the lease is the use of the land as specified in the business license. Any changes in use must be approved by the PRC government.
 
In August 2005, Coal Group entered into an agreement with Deheng Assets Management Co., Ltd. (“Deheng Assets”) to purchase two office buildings located at Building 3 in Hongqi Street in Hohhot City (Property Certificate No. 2003001090) and Building 8 in Hongqi Street in Hohhot City (Property Certificate No. 2003002197).  Coal Group intends to hold this property as an investment and leases the units for commercial use.  The two buildings are currently vacant with the exception of 3 floors which were previously occupied by one tenant. The space is rented on a month to month basis.  There are no renovation plans for this property in the next fiscal year.

LaiYeGou Mine
 
The location of the LaiYeGou mine is south-east of Bianjia Road and is approximately 230 hectares as shown on the below map:
 
 
The location is central as it intersects with national highways making access to the mine central to regional areas through No. 210 National Highway. The distance from LaiYeGou to each location is as follows:
 
·
Dongsheng – 70 km
 
·
Baotou City – 170km
 
·
XueJiaWan Town – 145km
 
·
Yulin City, Shang’xi Province - 215 km
 
·
Wuhai City - 370 km

 
Page 14 of 67

 
 
There are other transportation routes. BaoShen Railway crosses Dongsheng where Dongsheng Coalfield and Shenfu Coalfield are located. These mines are 35 km away from a railway collection station and therefore a convenient location where Coal Group is able to purchase raw materials and transport it to customers.
 
Access to the property is monitored strictly by mine managers. Prior to entering the premises, mine managers assess condition and safety reports from the previous day and determine location and safety parameters for employees. Condition and safety reports are prepared on a daily basis and serves as a basis for permitting entry to the mine and locations where employees are assigned to work.
 
Heat Power
 
Principal Business Office
 
Heat Power’s Administration, Finance, and Heat Station and Project Management Departments are located in newly constructed thermoelectric plant in Yingze Residential Area, Xuejiawan Town, Zhunger County. The office space is approximately 24,272 square feet.
 
XueJiaWan Thermoelectric Plant and Office Space
 
The 3.96 hectares land where the office building is constructed and where our thermoelectric plant is located is leased from the PRC government for a period of 50 years, expiring in 2053. Land in the PRC cannot be directly owned and the only form of ownership is by way of lease for a period of up to 50 years. In order to maintain the lease, we must use the land as specified in the business license.

Holders of Record
 
As of the close of business on February 22, 2010, there were approximately 312 holders of record of our common stock.  However, we believe that there are additional beneficial owners of our common stock who own their shares in “street name.”
 
Dividends
 
We do not anticipate that we will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Since the Company has its primary operations in the PRC, the majority of its revenues will be settled in RMB, not US dollars. Due to certain restrictions on currency exchanges that exist in the PRC, the Company’s ability to use revenue generated in RMB to pay any dividend payments to its shareholders outside of China may be limited.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Industry Overview
 
China’s coal industry is growing and its customer base is chronically under-supplied. There are pressures from the government to use clean or alternative energies instead of coal due to environmental concerns; however, coal reserves in China are abundant and less expensive than switching to clean or alternative energies.
 
Given the increase in demand for coal production for electricity and heating in China, the Central government is encouraging local governments to build more power stations, coking factories, calcium carbide factories and silicon iron factories across the country.
 
For the Coal Group, we attempt to obtain contracts granted by the government, because in such cases transportation would be guaranteed from LaiYeGou coal mine to the final destination. Where contracts are privately arranged, transportation is arranged through the hire of third party transporters by customers. In some instances, coal is purchased by third parties in close proximity to train stations where transportation to customer destinations is more efficiently arranged. However, transportation to destinations is limited to those for which routes are in place.
 
The Coal Group does not have competition in the usual sense of the term that most other businesses experience. Although there are approximately 30,000 coal mining companies throughout China, because demand currently exceeds supply, competition is not a concern in the operation of our business.
 
The electricity and heating supply industry is also growing; however, the government is taking steps to monitor and control economic growth in the rural areas to ensure that the economy is developing at a stable rate.
 
China National Labor Laws
 
We are subject to the following labor laws and to the best of our knowledge, we are not in violation of any labor laws in effect:
 
 
·
The Right to organize and Bargain Collectively: China’s National Labor Law, which entered into force on January 1, 1995, permits workers in both state and private enterprises in China to bargain collectively. The National Labor Law provides for collective contracts to be developed through collaboration between the labor union (or worker representatives in the absence of a union) and management, and should specify such matters as working conditions, wage scales, and hours of work. The law also permits workers and employers in all types of enterprises to sign individual contracts, which are to be drawn up in accordance with the collective contract.
 
 
·
Minimum Age for Employment of Children: China’s National Labor Law forbids employers to hire workers less than 16 years of age and specifies administrative review, fines and revocation of business licenses of those businesses that hire minors. Laborers between the ages 16 and 18 are referred to as “juvenile workers” and are prohibited from engaging in certain forms of physical work including labor in mines.
 
 
·
Acceptable Conditions of Work: The Labor Law provides for broad legal protections for workers on such matters as working hours, wages, and safety and health. The Trade Union Law invests unions with the authority to protect workers against violations of their legal rights or contractually agreed conditions of work. The Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Occupational Diseases, and the Production Safety Law identify responsibilities for work-related illness and accidents, and provide for specific penalties for violation of the law.
 
There is no national minimum wage. The Labor Law allows local governments to determine their own standards for minimum wages. Local governments generally set their minimum wage at a level higher than the local minimum living standard but lower than the average wage.
 
The Labor Law mandates a 40-hour standard work week, excluding overtime, and a 24-hour weekly rest period. It also prohibits overtime work in excess of 3 hours per day or 36 hours per month and mandates a required percentage of additional pay for overtime work.
 
We believe that we have complied with these China National Labor Laws as discussed above. Our administration department takes a pro-active approach to ensure that we and our employees adhere to labor laws.

 
Page 17 of 67

 
 
Compliance with Environment and Safety laws
 
Coal Group
 
The safety of Coal Group’s coal mine employees is governed under Coal Laws of China under the authority of the Coal Safety Production Bureau. Such laws coincide with application and maintenance of its business license obtained through the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources. Coal Group is required to pass random periodic safety inspections which check for gas and water seepage, ventilation, communication methods between in and outside of the mine, any breach of environmental laws and certifications of employees who work in the mine. Mine managers and staff must be trained and have a mine management qualification certificates obtained through the Coal Safety Production Bureau. Mine managers on site perform daily safety inspections.
 
Heat Power
 
Safety in Heat Power’s thermoelectric plant and heating plants are also regularly reviewed and monitored. On a quarterly basis, tests are performed on pressure vessels, insulation, levels of toxicity and moisture, and overall operational efficiency by local Work Safe Labor Departments and Electric Power companies operated by the PRC Government.
 
Heat Power also performs annual servicing of the plant and a major inspection and thorough evaluation every 3 years. Such inspections are contracted out to civil engineering companies.
 
The potential liability for violation of environmental standards consists of loss of our business licenses causing irreparable damage to our reputation and payment of penalties which vary depending on the nature of the violation and history of previous violations made. There is currently no fixed amount set by the government and penalties are determined on a case by case basis. In addition, any project which we are undertaking will be ceased, pending compliance with environmental standards.
 
Also refer to “Risks Relating to Our Business - Compliance and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations may cause us to incur significant expenditures and resources which we may not have.”
 
Effect of government regulation on our revenues and costs
 
Government regulation affects us materially whenever the pricing to our customers is set by the government.  Starting in 2009, the selling price of coal was no longer determined by the government; therefore, Coal Group now sells coal products at market prices.  However, the pricing to Heat Power end users remains highly regulated.  The government reviews the price of heating and electricity from time to time as market conditions change.  We purchase coal at market prices; therefore, we bear the risk that market prices for raw materials exceed the regulated prices paid by end-users.  We receive governmental subsidies from time to time to offset this risk.
 
The Role of the National Department and Reform Commission (NDRC)
 
The NDRC, in its efforts to improve the efficiencies in the coal mining industry, is taking the approach of shutting down smaller mines or any mine which does not meet its specified basic production requirements. The LaiYeGou mine is considered one of the larger mines in the area, and, therefore, we do not believe it will be subject to such potential closure. Our production levels are determined by market demand.
 
Heating Pricing Regulated by Zhunger Pricing Bureau
 
The price charged to supply heating to XueJiaWan users is regulated and controlled by the Inner Mongolia Zhunger Pricing Bureau, a division of the Inner Mongolia government. The pricing structure is approximately as follows per square foot:
 
Residential: $ 0.43
Commercial: 0.62
Municipal: $0.62
 
These prices have been effective since the second quarter of 2009.
 
The prices we charge to supply heating in any area in China is determined by the Inner Mongolia Zhunger Pricing Bureau and we may not be able to recoup increases in the cost of raw materials or expenses for an undetermined period of time until application to increase prices is approved.

Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. The resulting accounting estimates will not always precisely equal the actual results. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
 
·
assumptions are required to be made; and
 
·
changes in estimates could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our business of buying and selling coal on a proprietary basis expanded in 2009 as a result of our receipt of additional quota from the local railway bureau to transport coal by train.  We were able to trade more coal as a result of our ability to deliver more coal to trading partners by rail.  Quota is awarded by the local railway bureau based on an application prepared by us each year.  Parties are awarded additional quota based on their successful use of quota in the previous year.  We have received a larger amount of quota for 2010 than we held in 2009; however, our ability to use any or all of this quota in 2010 is not guaranteed and will vary with market conditions, and our ability to source commercially acceptable coal purchases and subsequent trades.
 
Heat Power
 
Heat Power has two distinct operations: supplies steam heating directly to end users throughout the XueJiaWan district in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia: and it also supplies electricity through Electric Power Group. Revenues generated by Heat Power were $9,748,301 in 2009 compared to $7,008,528  in 2008. The  $2,739,773 change was a result of an increase in sales volume resulting from an over 50% increase in the coverage area of Heat Power’s operations, and a 31% increase in megawatts sold by the electric Power Group.  In addition, sales in 2008 were artificially low due to a temporary shutdown of electricity power plant operations for air quality control purposes in connection with the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
 
The following table describes the type of customer and identifies the units of measurement that are associated with the revenues that are reported by Heat Power.

Salaries increased as a result of annual market increases in pay to employees and the hiring of new personnel at Heat Power. Our cost of coal consumption increased principally as a result of coal purchases in connection with our trading business. Our utility costs increased to higher levels because we purchased steam from other suppliers in to ensure a stable and reliable heat supply as we increased our service coverage area.

Salaries and Wages. Wages increased as a result of annual market increases in pay to employees and the hiring of new personnel at Heat Power.  We believe that such increase is in line with market rates in comparable industries in the region.
 
Transportation and Storage. Transportation and Storage relates to expenses incurred in our coal trading business.  We first incurred these expenses in the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 because that year was the first full roll-out of our proprietary coal trading business
 
Postage and Office. The increase was attributed to purchasing of office consumables after renovation of office building in LaiYeGou coal mine in 2009.

 
Page 21 of 67

 
 
 Professional and Other Fees. Fees were paid principally to various professionals, including financial advisors, attorneys and accountants.  These expenses significantly increased in the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 because the company decided to change many of its advisors, requiring that the new advisors spend time and resources studying and familiarizing itself with us and our history in an effort to contribute to our strategic plan going forward.
 
Depreciation  .Depreciation relates to office equipment.  These expenses significantly increased in the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 due to the recent purchases of new office equipment.
 
Travel. Travel expenses increased due to the work of our consultants.  We expect such expenses to recur on an periodic basis.
 
Repairs. Minor repairs were made to mining equipment as part of overall yearly maintenance schedule.
 
Government Subsidies
 
Heat Power received government grants from the Zhunger Finance Department, Zhunger National Taxation Bureau for supplying heating to local secondary schools and for VAT exemptions for the period.  Such subsidies declined from $3,042,579 to $1,633,075 because in 2008 our subsidy was artificially high given that a portion of our expected 2007 subsidy was delayed until  fiscal year 2008.
 
Non-Operating Income and Expenses
 
Non-operating income increased from $319,925 to $510,565 as a result of  as a result of an increase in deferred revenue recognized in 2008 and 2009.  Deferred revenue relates to the construction of pipeline, and it increased in line with the expansion of pipeline in recent years) . Non-operating expenses increased from $399,093 to $955,648 as a result of  increased loss on disposal of fixed assets).
 
Research and Development
 
We are not devoting any resources to research and development efforts on our products. The development efforts in expanding our production cycle and of constructing of new thermoelectric plants are subcontracted out to third parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of November 30, 2009 we had a working capital deficit of $(21,927,565)
 
We estimate our cash requirements for the next 12 months for the Coal Group will be approximately $42,076,000 and for Heat Power will be approximately $ 7,070,000 as follows:
 
   
Coal Group
   
Heat Power
 
Materials
  $ 29,248,000     $ 4,074,000  
Labor/Overhead
    8,695,000       1,203,000  
Selling/Administrative expenses
    4,133,000       1,793,000  
Total
    42,076,000       7,070,000  
 
We believe that cash flow from collection of accounts receivables, customer deposits and bank and shareholder loans will be sufficient to sustain our working capital needs. Shareholder loans are principally used for the purposes of improvement and expansion rather than to cover working capital needs.  Bank loans are used for working capital and for expansions purposes
 
Loans
 
Coal Group obtained loans from the Agricultural Bank of China amounting to $ 12,012,012 to assist in funding working capital needs. The terms and principal amount of the loans granted are as follows:
 
Due date
 
Interest rate
   
Principle
 
December 5, 2009
    6.696 %   $ 1,757,855  
March 15, 2010
    6.372 %     8,789,277  
April 21, 2010
    6.372 %     1,464,880  
Total
            12,012,012  
 
We have no formal agreement with shareholders that ensures that we will continue to receive shareholders loans for any purpose. We may exhaust this source of funding at any time.
 
Cash Flows
 
Our net cash provided by operating activities were $13,208,238 for 2008 and $4,403,400 for 2008. The following summarizes the inflow and outflow of cash for these periods
 
   
2009
   
2008
 
Net income
    5,106,219       3,959,003  
(Increase) decrease in accounts receivables

    3,500,521       2,464,041  
Net cash provided by operating activities
    13,208,238       4,403,400  
Accounts Receivable. The increase in accounts receivables are mainly attributed to Heat Power’s user fees made on account. Heat Power customers pay their utility bills in arrears rather than in advance. The age of such accounts was less than 6 months.  Coal Group does not generally have any receivables except in limited circumstances.  Coal Group’s sales on account were also outstanding for less than 6 months.

 
Page 23 of 67

 
 
 Customer Advances. The majority of our customer advances were received in connection with our coal trading operations.  We did receive some advances from real estate developers and future Heat Power customers in connection with new developments, and advances on a limited basis from some of our coal production customers.
 
Advances to Suppliers. Advances to suppliers decreased given the completion of our LaiYeGou improvement and expansion project .  These advances will continue in connection with Heat Power as we continue to lay pipeline for that business segment.
 
Inventory. The increase in inventory results from the full roll-out of our coal proprietary trading business that happened in 2009.  Large amounts of recently-purchased inventory may be on-hand at any given date in anticipation of a trade to on-sell the coal to a third party.
 
Accounts Payable. The increase of accounts payable also results from our use of credit in connection with our coal proprietary trading business.
 
Deferred income. These amounts consist of Heat Power’s receipt of reimbursements from various real estate development companies for the cost of constructing pipelines to connect to rural areas being developed. The income is recognized based on a 10 year straight line depreciation of equipment used in thermoelectric plant operations.
 
Investing Activities
 
Our net cash used in investing activities was $13,817,493 in 2009 and our net cash provided by investing activities was $ 107,638 in 2008. These amounts were used for the expansion and improvement of the LaiYeGou mine, and to lay more pipeline for Heat Power.  The total capital expenditures for the now completed project at the LaiYeGou mine equals approximately $10,000,000 over the past 3 years.  The capital expenditures at Heat Power are expected to continue for another 3 years with additional capital expenditures over that period of approximately $7 million.  Although we have no definitive plans for an acquisition, we from time to time consider expansion opportunities in the coal mining sector in China, particularly Inner Mongolia, if we believe that synergies exist with another coal mining facility and our coal business.
 
Amortization
 
All land in the China belongs to the PRC. To extract resources from land, Coal Group is required to obtain a mining right. The jurisdiction responsible for issuing such rights is the Provincial Bureau of National Land and Resource, a division of the PRC government. In December 2005, Coal Group’s mining right was assessed to be approximately $ 3.7 million. This mining right is regarded as an intangible asset currently being amortized using the units of production methodology.

Financing Activities
 
Our net cash provided by financing activities in 2009 was $5,231,230 and our net cash used in financing activities was $ 6,390,384 in 2008.
 
Given the completion of the LaiYeGou project in 2009 and the continued expansion of Heat Power, additional funds were required to be provided from financing activities, including bank loans and shareholders loans. Bank loans, described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loans” above, are extended pursuant to a one-year revolving credit facility with Agricultural Bank of China. This facility expires at the end of April 2010; however, we expect the credit facility to be extended and the credit line to be increased.
 
A substantial portion of the cost of construction of the thermoelectric plant and of the costs of expansion projects at Heat Power and Coal Group was provided by shareholder loans. The outstanding balance of these loans at November 30, 2009 is as follows:
 
Hangzhou Dayovan Group, Ltd.
  $ 5,428,963  
         
Xinghe County Haifu Coal Transportation & Sales Co., Ltd.
    1,807,686  
         
Ordos City YiYuan Investment Co. Ltd.
    1,634,404  
         
Yanhua Li
    1,025,416  
         
Yi Ding
    47,245  
         
Wenxiang Ding
    28,565  
         
Total
    9,972,279  
 
Material Commitments
 
We are committed to the payment of bank loans, and shareholder loans as mentioned above. We have title to all our capital assets consisting of production equipment, automobiles, and office equipment.
 
Heat Power’s offices are currently leased on a month to month basis and Coal Group occupies space purchased in 1998. Coal Group holds title to this property in the form of a 50 year lease from the government. There are no amounts owed with respect to the Coal Group property.
 
Heat Power is obligated to make interest payments on a loan obtained through Coal Group as mentioned above.
 
Page 25 of 67

 
Seasonal Aspects
 
Coal Group’s business is seasonal: sales are particularly low in February, due to the Chinese New Year holiday at which time our business is closed for 2 weeks. As a result, sales in March are usually higher.
 
Heat Power sales level relating to heat generation is not provided from October through April since the temperature in the region is high, reducing heating requirements.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
 
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
 
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
 
Our consolidated financial statement and the notes thereto begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
The Company dismissed its principal independent accountant, Robert G. Jeffrey, Certified Public Accountants (“Jeffrey & Co.”) from its engagement with the Company in the second quarter of 2009. Jeffrey & Co. was engaged by the Company in 2004. The members of the Board of Directors approved the Company’s decision to dismiss Jeffrey & Co. as the Company’s principal independent accountant.
 
There were no disagreements between the Company and Jeffrey & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, from the time of Jeffrey & Co.’s engagement up to the date of dismissal which disagreements that, if not resolved to Jeffrey & Co.’s satisfaction, would have caused Jeffrey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report issued in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K occurred within the two fiscal years of the Company ended November 20, 2007 and 2008 and subsequently up to the date of dismissal. The audit report of Jeffrey & Co. on the financial statements of the Company as of November 30, 2008 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such audit report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
On May 21, 2009, the Company engaged Wei, Wei & Co., LLP (“Wei & Co.”) to serve as its independent auditor. The decision to engage Wei & Co. as the Company’s principal independent accountant was approved by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company. During the two fiscal years of the Company ended November 30, 2007 and 2008, and through the date of the Wei & Co.’s engagement, the Company did not consult Wei & Co. regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” within the meaning set forth in Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) or (a)(1)(v).

ITEM 9A.(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, and solely as a result of the significant weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
 
Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management did identify a significant deficiency; a significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting. Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. Instead, we rely very much on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion. External financial advisors have helped prepare and review the consolidated financial statements. Although we have not identified any material errors with our financial reporting or any material weaknesses with our internal controls, no assurances can be given that there are no such material errors or weaknesses existing. To remediate this situation, we are seeking to recruit experienced professionals to augment and upgrade our financial staff to address issues of timeliness and completeness in US GAAP financial reporting. In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. We plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls systematically.
 
We believe that the remediation measures we are taking, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the significant deficiency discussed above.
 
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management recognizes its responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and has designed internal controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements and related notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, our management concluded that solely as a result of the significant weaknesses in internal control as described above, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our 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, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of 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 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.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Acquisition of Subsidiary
 
On November 30, 2004, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Coal Group and Heat Power, both Chinese Corporations, whereby we acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Coal Group and 49% of the issued and outstanding stock of Heat Power for consideration of 45,000,000 shares of our common stock. These shares were exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act as they were made to off-shore, non US residents.
 
The remaining 51% of Heat Power is owned by Coal Group. In September 2003, our President and majority shareholder, Mr. Ding, acquired a 70% interest in Heat Power. That interest was acquired through a contribution of property which is used by Heat Power in its operations. The property has been capitalized at the original cost to Mr. Ding. In February, 2004 Mr. Ding transferred this equity interest to Coal Group. In March 2004, Coal Group sold 15% of its interest to another shareholder. In August of 2004, a further 4% interest was sold to a shareholder leaving 51% to be owned by Coal Group. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Coal Group and the Company together now control 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Heat Power.
 
Coal Group and Heat Power thus became our controlled operating companies. The shareholders of both companies unanimously agreed to enter into the Agreement for the purposes of restructuring in anticipation of becoming listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. We were formed by the shareholders of Coal Group and Heat Power for this purpose and prior to entering into the Agreement; we had no assets, liabilities or equity and had not issued any of our shares. As a result of entering into the Agreement; the shareholders of Coal Group and Heat Power became our shareholders. The 45,000,000 shares were allocated based on the capital contributions or ownership of Coal Group and Heat Power. The Agreement therefore was a non-arms length transaction.
 
On December 30, 2007, CEC acquired PPI, a Nevada company with no assets, liabilities, or equity. CEC holds 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI, or 5,000 common shares with a par value of $ 0.001.
 
On December 31, 2007, PPI entered into a Trust Agreement with all the registered shareholders of Coal Group, and that of Heat Power, whereby under the terms of the Trust Agreement, all the shareholders are obligated to hold their interests in Coal Group and Heat Power in (represented by their registered paid up capital contributions to date) trust for PPI, for an 8 year term, extendable for another 5 more years.
 
In addition, prior to the execution of the PPI Trust Agreement, controlling shareholders of CEC, including Wenxiang Ding, Yanhua Li and members of their immediate family, transferred their shares of CEC to GPI and Axim to be held in trust with the view that GPI and Axim would sell the shares in the open market in order to fund a plan to convert Coal Group and Heat Power into FIEs to raise the mandated acquisition price under PRC rules for FIEs. The sole shareholder and director of each of GPI and Axim is Yi Ding, son of WenXiang Ding, our President and Chief Executive Officer. As of November 30. 2009, GPI held 20,589,107 shares and Axim held 10,000,000 shares, totaling 30,589,107 shares. The Company has decided to forgo the FIE plan in favor of the VIE restructuring described below.
 
Pursuant to a VIE restructuring as contemplated by a framework contract entered in June 2009, CEC China, a newly-formed subsidiary of CEC, plans to enter into a series of contractual arrangements with the registered shareholders of the Operating Companies so that the control and the economic benefits and costs of ownership of the Operating Companies would flow directly to CEC China through a series of management and business cooperation agreements. CEC China would also have the option to purchase the equity interests in Coal Group and Heat Power held by the registered shareholders. The registered shareholders would pledge their equity interests in Coal Group and Heat Power as security for their agreement to comply with provisions of the management and cooperation agreements and would provide CEC China with a power of attorney to exercise all their shareholder rights in Coal Group and Heat Power. The contractual arrangements under the VIE structure are intended to comply with, and be enforceable under, applicable PRC law, and would adequately reduce any PRC regulatory risk without the capital contributions necessary under the FIE plan initially proposed by the Company. In connection with the planned VIE restructuring, the Company and the registered shareholders have entered into a framework contract in July 2009 pursuant to which the Company and the registered shareholders have agreed to enter into the aforementioned agreements.

Pre-Approval Process, Policies and Procedures
 
We do not have an audit committee and as a result, our entire board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee. Our board of directors evaluated and approved in advance the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor rendered audit and non-audit services.  In the future, when we establish an audit committee, the committee will pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of China Energy Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Energy Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the China Energy Corporation and subsidiaries at November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Organization and Business

Organization of the Company

China Energy Corporation (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, formed on October 11, 2002 under the name Omega Project Consultations, Inc.  The name was changed to China Energy Corporation on November 3, 2004.  On November 30, 2004, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Inner Mongolia Tehong Coal Group Co., Ltd. (“Coal Group”), and Inner Mongolia Zhunger Heat Power Co. Ltd. (“Heat Power”) and their respective shareholders. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, a procedure that treats the transaction as though Coal Group had acquired the Company.  Under the accounting for a reverse merger, the assets and liabilities of the Company, which were nil at the time, were recorded on the books of Coal Group, the continuing company, and the stockholders’ equity accounts of Coal Group were reorganized to reflect the shares issued in this transaction.

The share exchange agreement, which resulted in the Company’s acquisition of the Coal Group and Heat Power, was governed by and valid under Nevada law and was not perfected under the then People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) law.  It was not until certain changes in PRC law, which became definitive in 2006, that the Company was made clear that a series of procedures of governmental approvals and certain additional corporate actions would be condition precedents to that perfection.

The Company does not believe the lack of perfection impairs its ability to exercise control over the Coal Group and Heat Power as it continues to exercise control over them, consistent with the intent of the original shareholders.

The Company is in the process of completing the necessary actions to meet the current PRC legal requirements related to the acquisition of Coal Group and Heat Power.  On July 13, 2009, the Company entered into a framework agreement which detailed the actions contemplated for the restructuring of the Company, Coal Group and Heat Power under a "variable interest entity" (“VIE”) structure to meet the current requirements of applicable PRC law.

The framework agreement provides that (i) the Company will establish a newly-formed, indirect subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“CEC China”), (ii) CEC China will enter an exclusive service agreement and option agreement with each of Coal Group and Heat Power (collectively, the “Operating Companies”) and a share pledge agreement with each of the Operating Companies and certain of their respective PRC Shareholders (“PRC Shareholders”). The framework agreement also requires the PRC Shareholders to fully authorize CEC China to exercise all shareholders’ rights that the PRC Shareholders can exercise in the Operating Companies. By entering into the framework agreement and subsequently setting up the structure involving the use of VIEs, the Company will have the control and the economic benefits and costs of ownership of the Operating Companies consistent with PRC regulatory requirements.

The Company contemplates that the restructuring process will be completed during 2010.

Business

The Company’s business is made up of two segments: Coal Group and Heat Power.

Coal Group: Coal Group was organized in China on August 8, 2000 as Inner Mongolia Zhunger Tehong Coal Co., Ltd. The name was changed in December 2003 to Inner Mongolia Tehong Coal Group Co. Ltd. Coal Group owns a coal mine in the Inner Mongolia District from which it produces coal. It also buys, sells, and transports coal, serving the Inner Mongolia District.  Coal Group has the capacity to produce approximately up to 800,000 metric tons per year based on enhancement of productions lines, which was completed in August of 2009.

Heat Power: During 2003, Heat Power was granted a license to supply heating to the entire XueJiaWan area.  To provide for this requirement, construction began in 2004 on a thermoelectric plant, which was completed in September 2006.  Heat Power supplies heating directly to users and supplies electricity within the XueJiaWan area through a government controlled intermediary, Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group Co., Ltd. (“Electric Power Group”).

Heat Power obtains its supply of powdered coal required to generate heat production from Zhunger County Guanbanwusu Coalmine (“Guanbanwusu”). It also obtains its supply through various other coal mines in the area.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), as codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).  The objective of ASC 805 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.  To accomplish this, ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain price, and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141R, now codified in ASC 805, is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No.51 (“SFAS 160”), as codified in FASB ASC Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810-10”).   ASC 810-10 requires that non-controlling (or minority) interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the company’s balance sheet, rather than in a mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity.  Additionally, ASC 810-10 revises the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement and also establishes guidelines for accounting or changes in ownership percentages and for deconsolidation.  ASC 810-10 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 160, now codified as ASC 810-10 did not to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” Which is codified as FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The ASC 825 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, now codified in ASC 825, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This issuance also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” now codified in FASB Topic 270 “Interim Reporting” (“ASC 270”), to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, now codified in ASC 825 were effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The issuance does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, it requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company does not expect the changes associated with adoption of ASC 825 will have a material effect on the determination or reporting of its consolidated financial results.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), which are codified in ASC 320 FSP FAS No. 115-2 provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities.  This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The Company does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB released  FSP FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”), now codified in ASC 820.  This issuance  provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decrease with providing guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is no orderly.  FSP FAS No. 157-4, now codified in ASC 820 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the adoption of ASC 820 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), as codified in FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”).  ASC 855 established standards of accounting for and disclosures of subsequent events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  ASC 855 requires the disclosure of the date through which the subsequent events have been evaluated as well as whether that date is the date the financial statement were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 165, now codified in ASC 855 would have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  The requisite evaluation of events occurring subsequent to the Company’s year ended of November 30, 2009 through March 1, 2010 the filling date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 had been evaluated.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) as codified in FASB ASC 810 Consolidation (ASC 810”), which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments will significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).  This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. This statement will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2010. The Company is still assessing whether ASC 810 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”), as codified in FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”).  ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the sources for authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards under U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities.  ASC 105 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Accordingly, upon the adoption of SFAS 168, now codified as ASC 105, effective September 1, 2009, the Company began to reference the new Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature when referring to U.S. GAAP in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings. The Codification is not intended to nor does it change existing U.S. GAAP and adoption will not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Foreign Currency Translations

Substantially all Company assets are located in China.  The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”).  The Company uses the United States dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes.  The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into US dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “foreign currency translation,” as codified in ASC 830 foreign currency matters.  All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred.  Statements of operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year.   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 US dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

 
November 30,
2009
 
November 30,
2008
Balance sheet items, except for the registered and paid-up capital, additional paid-in capital, statutory reserve and retained earnings, as of year end
US$1=RMB 6.8265
 
US$1=RMB 6.8359
 
  
   
Amounts included in the statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the year
US$1=RMB 6.8330
 
US$1=RMB 7.0059

For the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, foreign currency translation adjustment of approximately $43,559 and $1,883,321, respectively, have been reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

Although government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain.  Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into US dollars at that rate or any other rate.

The value of RMB against the U.S. dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.  Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

Cash and Cash equivalents

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an 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 collectibility of individual balances.  In evaluating the collectibility 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 November 30, 2009 and 2008, the balances of allowance for doubtful accounts were $120,853 and $102,401, respectively.  For the years presented, the Company did not write off any accounts receivable as bad debts.

Inventories

Inventories consisted of coal and operating supplies. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the first in, first out basis.  Provisions are made for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of market. The Company did not record any provisions for inventory valuation allowance for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Cost include the prices paid to acquire or construct the assets, including capitalized interest during the construction period, and any expenditures that substantially increase the assets value or extend the useful life of an existing asset.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, which are approximately five years for electrical and office equipment, ten years for transportation equipment and pipelines, and 20 to 45 years for buildings.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.  Capitalized costs related to assets under construction are not depreciated until construction is complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.  Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Costs of mine development, expansion of the capacity of or extending the life of the mine (“Mining Structures”) are capitalized and amortized using the units-of-production (“UOP”) method over the productive life of the mine based on proven and probable reserves.  Mining Structure includes the main and auxiliary mine shafts, underground tunnels, ramps, and other integrant mining infrastructure.

Investment Property

Investment property represents rental real estate purchased by the Company for investment purposes.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of 45 years.  The related rental income is included in non-operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Mining Right

All land in China belongs to the government.  To extract resources from land, the Company is required to obtain a mining right.  The Company’s Coal Group acquired its mining right from the Provincial Bureau of National Land and Resource in November of 2005.  The price of the mining right, which represents the acquisition cost of the mine, was assessed by the Bureau to be $3,656,731.  The mine acquisition cost is payable in installments over a six year period from the date the mining right was granted.  The mine acquisition cost is amortized using the UOP method over the productive life of the mine based on proven and probable reserves.

Long Term Investment

Investments in which the Company owns a 20% or greater equity interest are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

Restricted Cash

Long-term restricted cash represents the bank deposits placed as guarantee for the future payments of rehabilitation costs as required by the PRC government. The long-term deposits carry an interest rate of 0.6% per annum.

Advance from Customers

Advance from customers primarily consists of payments received from customers by the Coal Group and Heat Power prior to the delivery of goods and services.

Deferred Income

Deferred income represents reimbursements received by Heat Power from various real estate development companies for the cost of constructing pipelines to connect to rural areas being developed.  The income is recognized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the pipelines of ten years.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Group applies SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), as codified in FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company may recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

Recognition of Revenue

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when the products are delivered and the title is transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 
Page 49 of 67

 

CHINA ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

Revenue associated with sales of coal is recognized when the title to the goods has been passed to customers, which is the date when the goods are delivered to designated locations and accepted by the customers.

Heat Power supplies heat to users directly and supplies electricity through a government controlled intermediary. Revenue from sales of heat and electricity represents the amount of tariffs billed for heat and electricity generated and transmitted to the users and government controlled intermediary, respectively.

Resource Compensation Fees

In accordance with the relevant regulations, a company that is engaged in coal production business is required to pay a fee to the Inner Mongolia National Land and Resources Administration Bureau as the compensation for the depletion of coal resources. Coal Group was required to pay resource compensation fees of $188,151 and $132,730 for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Coal Group expenses such costs when incurred.

Environmental Costs

The PRC has adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operations of the coal mining industry. The outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present, and could be material. Under existing legislation, however, Company management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and other current assets, short term bank loans, accounts payable, advance from customers, other current liabilities and shareholders’ loan. As of November 30, 2009 and 2008, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values.

Income Taxes

Coal Group and Heat Power generate their income in China where Value Added Tax, Income Tax, City Construction and Development Tax and Education Surcharge taxes are applicable. Coal Group and Heat Power do not conduct any operations in the U.S.; therefore, are not subject to U.S. taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“SFAS 109”), now codified as FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimated.


The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with SFAS No, 128 Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”), as codified in FASB ASC 260, “Earning Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).  Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net income per common share are computed by dividing the amount available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Statutory Reserves

Pursuant to corporate law of the PRC, the Company is required to maintain statutory reserves by appropriating from its after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends.  The statutory reserves, representing restricted retained earnings, consist of the following funds:

Surplus Reserve Fund: The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Common Welfare Fund: Common welfare fund is a voluntary fund that the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to this fund. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation.

Non-Surplus Reserve Fund (Safety and Maintenance): According to ruling No. 119 (2004) issued on May 21, 2004, and amended ruling No. 168 (2005) on April 8, 2005 by the PRC Ministry of Finance regarding “Accrual and Utilization of Coal Production Safety Expense” and “Criterion on Coal Mine Maintenance and Improvement,” the Company is required to set aside to a safety fund of RMB 6 per ton and RMB 10 per ton of raw coal mined for 2009 and 2008, respectively, and RMB 10.5 per ton for a maintenance fund.  As defined under U.S. GAAP, a liability for safety and maintenance expenses does not exist at the balance sheet date because there is no present obligation to transfer assets or to provide services as a result of any past transactions. Therefore, for financial reporting purposes, this reserve has been recorded as an appropriation of retained earnings.

Stock Options

Stock options are accounted for upon issuance at fair market value.  Such value is determined at the date a commitment is made for issuance.  The value of options is included in a separate part of stockholders' equity.  Upon exercise or cancellation, the value of such options is transferred to paid-in capital.

Asset Retirement Cost and Obligation

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” (“SFAS 143”), now codified as FASB ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (“ASC 410”). ASC 410 generally requires that the Company’s legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized at fair value at the time the obligations are incurred. Obligations are incurred at the time development of a mine commences for underground mines or construction begins for support facilities, refuse areas and slurry ponds. The obligation’s fair value is determined using discounted cash flow techniques and is accreted over time to its expected settlement value.  Upon initial recognition of a liability, a corresponding amount is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.  The related asset is amortized using the UOP method over the productive life of the mine based on proven and probable reserves.  The Company did not incur and does not anticipate incurring any material dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs given the nature of its producing activities and the current PRC regulations surrounding such activities.

Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC

The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

All of the Company’s businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible. The People’s Bank of China or other banks are authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

Since the Company has its primary operations in the PRC, the majority of its revenues will be settled in RMB, not US dollars. Due to certain restrictions on currency exchanges that exist in the PRC, the Company’s ability to use revenue generated in RMB to pay any dividend payments to its shareholders outside of China may be limited.

All of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in PRC and are not covered by protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in United States banks.

The Company's mining operations are subject to extensive national and local governmental regulations in China, which regulations may be revised or expanded at any time.  Generally, compliance with these regulations requires the Company to obtain permits issued by government regulatory agencies.  Certain permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions.  The Company cannot predict whether it will be able to obtain or renew such permits or whether material changes in permit conditions will be imposed. The inability to obtain or renew permits or the imposition of additional conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to develop and operate its mines.

3.        Segment Reporting

The Company is made up of two segments of business, Coal Group which derives its revenue from the mining and purchase and sale of coal, and Heat Power which derives its revenue by providing heating and electricity to residents and businesses of a local community.  Each of these segments is conducted in a separate corporation and each functions independently of the other.

Except for the loans made to Heat Power by Coal Group in the principal amount of RMB 93 million (equivalent to $14 million) as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, during the periods reported herein, there were no other transactions between the two segments.  There also were no differences between the measurements used to report operations of the segments and those used to report the consolidated operations of the Company.  In addition, there were no differences between the measurements of the assets of the reported segments and the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets.

11. Fair Value Measurement

SFAS No. 157, as codified in FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs).  In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements.  When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at November 30, 2009.

Long term investment:  The valuation methodologies consist of internal analysis, review of financial statements from the investee companies, etc.  The transaction price, excluding transaction costs, is the Company’s best estimate of fair value at inception.  When evidence supports a change to the carrying value from the transaction price, adjustments are made to reflect expected exit values.  Ongoing reviews by the Company are based on an assessment of each underlying investment, incorporating valuation that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information.

Notes receivable:  The carrying amounts of notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

The method described above may produce a fair calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values.  Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation method are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and related valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2009:

13. Government Subsidies

Government subsidies are primarily comprised of financial support provided by the local government to Heat Power to ensure supply of heat to the XueJiaWan area as the price for heat charged is regulated and approved by the government.  The financial support includes revenue subsidies to compensate for lower government regulated prices charged for heat and cost subsidies for purchase of coal used in providing heat.  Government subsidies are intended to be an incentive for Heat Power to supply heat at the government regulated prices.  Government subsidies amounted to $1,633,075 and $3,042,579 for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in government subsidies in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


The Company is required to file income tax returns in both the United States and China. Its operations in the United States have been insignificant and income taxes have not been accrued.  In China, the Company files tax returns for Heat Power and Coal Group and, although it is part of Coal Group, a separate tax return is required for the operations of the coal mine.  The laws of China permit the carryforward of net operating losses for a period of five years.  At November 30, 2009, the Chinese entities had net operating losses of $1,024,038 available for future use. If not used, these carryforwards will expire as follows:

Year
 
Amount
 
2010
    102,596  
2011

2012
    -  
2013

Under ASC 740, recognition of deferred tax assets is permitted unless it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  The Company has recorded deferred tax assets as follows:

   
November 30, 2009
   
November 30, 2008
 
             
Deferred tax assets

Valuation allowance
    (256,010 )     (285,428 )
Balance recognized
  $ -     $ -  

Deferred tax assets consist primarily of future tax benefits of net operating losses recognized for Heat Power.  A full valuation allowance has been established for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 since the Company is unable to determine if and when those benefits will be realized.

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of SFAS 109” as codified in ASC 740 (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.

The Company does not have any accruals for uncertain tax positions as of November 30, 2009 and 2008.  It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

15. Contingencies

As is customary in China, except for auto coverage, Coal Group and Heat Power do not carry sufficient insurance.  As a result, the Company is effectively self-insuring risk of potential accidents that may occur in the workplace.  Given the nature of the industry, the Company may be exposed to risks that could have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial statements.

China has enacted legislation which appears to restrict the ability of entities considered foreign to China, like the Company, to have ownership interest in operating companies located in China.  The Company has taken steps to avoid any potential adverse impact of this legislation.  (See Note 1)
