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

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:

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.

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.

67
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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Page 18
of 67
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.

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.

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:

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

Our net
cash provided by operating activities were $13,208,238 for 2008 and $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:

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

this source of funding to continue; however, in the event shareholder loans are
no longer granted to us, we may obtain long or short term financing or downsize
our operations. There are no formal agreements in place with respect to
shareholder loans.

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

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
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.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company as of November 30,
2009 and 2008 and for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the accounts of China Energy
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Basis
of Consolidation

consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Coal
Group and Heat Power. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
A
subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls
more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the
majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast majority of votes at
the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating
policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or
equity holders.

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.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009
AND 2008
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:

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.

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 are accounted for upon issuance at fair market value. Such

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.

CHINA
ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.

the Company considers factors such as the age of the balance, payment history,
and credit-worthiness of the creditor. The Company considers
all other receivables at November 30, 2009 and 2008 to be fully collectible and,
therefore, did not provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts.

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:

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:

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:

Deferred

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 Taxes — an
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)
