PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Longwei,” “we,” “our” and “us,” refer to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, a Colorado corporation together with its subsidiaries.
 
Company History
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc.  On October 12, 2007, we changed our name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited. On October 16, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and agreed to issue 69,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding ownership units of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (Longwei BVI), a British Virgin Islands entity.  This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, formerly known as Tabatha II, Inc., did not have any operations and majority-voting control was transferred to Longwei BVI.  The transaction required a recapitalization of Longwei BVI. Since Longwei BVI acquired a controlling voting interest; it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (formerly Tabatha II, Inc.) was deemed the legal acquirer.
 
Business Overview
 
We are an energy company that, through our subsidiaries, engages in oil and gas operations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).  Oil and gas operations consist of transporting, marketing and selling finished petroleum products.  Our headquarters and primary facilities are located in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province (Shanxi). We purchase diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene (the “Products”) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. We are 1 of 5 licensed intermediaries in Shanxi that operates its own large scale storage tanks and has the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. Our storage tanks have the largest storage capacity of any non-government operated entity in Shanxi.  We seek to earn profits by selling our Products at competitive prices to large scale gas stations, coal plants and other power supply customers and small, independent gas stations. We also earn revenue by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi and through the sale of diesel and gasoline at a gas station located on our property in Taiyuan. The sales price and the cost basis of our Products are largely dependent on the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond our control.
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we reported revenues of approximately $130.5 million, an increase of 33% from revenues of approximately $98.1 million reported for the six months ended December 31, 2008.  For the year ended June 30, 2009, we reported revenues of approximately $197 million, an increase of 37% from revenues of approximately $144 million reported for the year ended June 30, 2008.  We continued to expand our customer base and the pricing of our Products continued to follow a trend towards higher, more profitable pricing.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at No. 30 Guanghau Street, Xiaojingyu Xiang, Wan Bailin District, Shanxi Province, People’s Republic of China  030024 and our telephone number is (617) 699-6325. We maintain a website at www.longweipetro.com which contains a description of our company, but such website is not part of this prospectus.

Issuance of Shares to the Selling Stockholders
 
On October 29, 2009, we entered in a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 13,499,274 of our newly designated series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,499,274 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $14,849,201.50.  National Securities Corporation acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement.
 
The series A preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $1.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  The holders of our series A preferred stock do not have voting rights except as required by Colorado law.  In addition, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, we cannot, without the written consent of the holders of 75% of the then outstanding series A preferred stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in the certificate of designation) senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any series of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (iii) amend our certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock or the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, The holders of our series A preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available therefore, an amount in cash equal to $1.10 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  No distribution shall be made on any junior securities by reason of any liquidation of the Company unless each holder of series A preferred stock shall have received all amounts in full to which such holder shall be entitled. The series A preferred stock holders shall be entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 6% of the liquidation price of each share of series A preferred stock, which is defined as $1.10, payable quarterly.  The series A preferred stock also contains limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their shares to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
The warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an exercise price of $2.255 per share.  The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased.  The warrants contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their Series A Warrants to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
Additionally, as further consideration for the transaction, we, along with the investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement with certain insiders of the Company who placed an aggregate of 13,499,274 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow, to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met.  Pursuant to the terms of the make good escrow agreement, if the After Tax Net Income reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report is less than $23,900,000, then the investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis, determined by dividing each investor’s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to us by the investors, for no consideration other than their part of their respective investment amount at closing, some or all of the escrow shares determined according to the following formula:
  
E
 Minus
 C
((A / B) X D)
For the purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = Actual After Tax Net Income for 2010
B = 2010 Guaranteed ATNI  ($23,900,000) 
C = Escrow Shares (13,499,274) 
D = Initial Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock ($1.10)
E = Total Investment Amount ($14,849,201.50)

RISK FACTORS
 
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below and other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. If this were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and investors in our common stock might lose all or a part of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Business Operations
 
We may be unable to manage our growth.
 
We are planning for rapid growth and intend to aggressively expand operations. The growth in the size and geographic range of our business will place significant demands on management and our operating systems. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to attract additional management personnel; to develop and improve operating systems; to hire, train, and manage an employee base; and to maintain adequate service capacity. Additionally, the proposed expansion of operations may require hiring additional management personnel to oversee procurement duties. We will also be required to rapidly expand operating systems and processes in order to support the projected increase in product demand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage growth and build the infrastructure necessary to achieve growth as management has forecasted.
 
The strategy of acquiring complementary businesses and assets may fail which could reduce our ability to compete for customers.
 
As part of our business strategy, we have pursued, and intend to continue to pursue, selective strategic acquisitions of businesses, assets and technologies that complement our existing business. We intend to make other acquisitions in the future if suitable opportunities arise. Acquisitions involve uncertainties and risks, including:
 
 
potential ongoing financial obligations and unforeseen or hidden liabilities;
 
 
failure to achieve the intended objectives, benefits or revenue-enhancing opportunities;
 
 
costs and difficulties of integrating acquired businesses and managing a larger business; and
 
 
diversion of resources and management attention.
 
The failure to address these risks successfully may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any such acquisition may require a significant amount of capital investment, which would decrease the amount of cash available for working capital or capital expenditures. In addition, if we use our equity securities to pay for acquisitions, we may dilute the value of your shares. If we borrow funds to finance acquisitions, such debt instruments may contain restrictive covenants that could, among other things, restrict us from distributing dividends. Such acquisitions may also generate significant amortization expense related to intangible assets.
 
Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.
 
We currently consume a large amount of refined diesel and gasoline. While we try to adjust the sales price of the products to track international crude oil price fluctuations, our ability to pass on the increased cost resulting in diesel and gasoline price increases to our customers is dependent on international and domestic market conditions as well as the PRC government’s price control over refined petroleum products. For example, the international crude oil price reached its historically high level in July 2008, but we were not able to effectively pass the increased cost to its customers. Although the current price-setting mechanism for refined petroleum products in China allows the PRC government to adjust price in the PRC market when the average international crude oil price fluctuates beyond certain levels within a certain time period, the PRC government still retains discretion as to whether or when to adjust the refined petroleum products price. The PRC government will exercise certain price controls over refined petroleum products once international crude oil price experiences sustained growth or becomes significantly volatile. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected by the fluctuation of crude oil and refined petroleum product prices. Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, such as the price of crude oil. For these reasons, comparing operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of future performance. Quarterly and annual revenues, costs and expenses as a percentage of our revenues may be significantly different from our historical or projected rates. Operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Any of these events could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
 
 
 
4

 
We rely heavily on outside suppliers for products derived from crude oil and other raw materials, and may even experience disruption of our ability to obtain products refined from crude oil and other raw materials.
 
We purchase a significant portion of our products from outside suppliers located in different provinces within the PRC. We are also aware that a large portion of our products originated in other countries.  We are subject to the political, geographical and economic risks associated with these other provinces and perhaps even the countries where the products have originated. If one or more of our material supply contracts were terminated or disrupted due to any natural disasters or political events, it is possible that we would not be able to find sufficient alternative sources of supply in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms. As a result, our business and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
  
Our business faces operation risks and natural disasters that may cause significant property damages, personal injuries and interruption of operations, and we may not have sufficient insurance coverage for all potential financial losses incurred.
 
Transporting petroleum products involves a number of operating hazards.  Significant operating hazards and natural disasters may cause interruption to business operations, property or environmental damages as well as personal injuries, and each of these incidents could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We do not yet maintain insurance coverage on our property, plant, equipment and inventory. However, preventative measures such as insurance may not be effective in any event and if we should acquire insurance coverage it may not be sufficient to cover all the financial losses caused by operation risks and potential natural disasters, among other risks. Losses incurred or payments required to be made by us due to operating hazards or natural disasters, which are not fully insured, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our success depends on our  ability to retain key personnel.
 
Our present and future performance will depend on the continued service of senior management personnel, key sales personnel, and consultants. The key employees include Cai Yongjun, the Company’s Chairman. The loss of the services of Mr. Cai could have an adverse effect on us. We do not have a long term employment agreement with Mr. Cai. We do not maintain any key man life insurance on any personnel.
 
We are dependent on third parties to transport our products, so their failure to transport the products could adversely affect our earnings, sales and geographic market.
 
We use third parties for the vast majority of our shipping and transportation needs. If these parties fail to deliver products in a timely fashion, including lack of available trucks or drivers, labor stoppages or if there is an increase in transportation costs, including increased fuel costs, it would have a material adverse effect on our earnings and could reduce our sales and geographic market.
 
We have limited business insurance coverage and potential liabilities could exceed our ability to pay them.
 
The insurance industry in the PRC is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in the PRC offer limited business insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.

Risks Related to Corporate Governance and Common Stock
 
Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00.  Our common stock will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
 
We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our Common Stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for the Company’s stockholders to sell their securities.
 
Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
 
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.  In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
 
 
·
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
 
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.
 
Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our common stock is subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their common stock.

The market for penny stock has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact subscribers of our stock.
 
We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
·
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
·
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
·
“boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
·
excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
·
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
We believe that many of these abuses have occurred with respect to the promotion of low price stock companies that lacked experienced management, adequate financial resources, an adequate business plan and/or marketable and successful business or product.
 
We are controlled by the officers and directors of the Company.
 
Our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates own or control a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, would be able to effectively control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of our Board of Directors.
 
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of members of the Board of Directors.
 
Our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of the director of the Company for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain exceptions, to the fullest extent allowed. We are organized under Colorado law. Accordingly, except in limited circumstances, our directors will not be liable to our stockholders for breach of their fiduciary duties.
 
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Colorado corporate law have anti-takeover effects.
 
Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if that change might be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that might make acquiring control of us difficult, including provisions limiting rights to call special meetings of stockholders and regulating the ability of our stockholders to nominate directors for election at annual meetings of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the authority, without further approval of our stockholders, to issue common stock having such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors may determine. Any such issuance of common stock could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us and might adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.
 
In addition, we are subject to Colorado statutes regulating business combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions, which might also hinder or delay a change in control of us. Anti-takeover provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, anti-takeover provisions that could be included in the common stock when issued and the Colorado statutes regulating business combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions can depress the market price of our securities and can limit the stockholders’ ability to receive a premium on their shares by discouraging takeover and tender offer bids, even if such events could be viewed by our shareholders or others as beneficial transactions.

Our internal financial reporting procedures are still being developed. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, the Company will need to allocate significant resources to meet applicable internal financial reporting standards.
 
We have adopted disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We are taking steps to develop and adopt appropriate disclosure controls and procedures.
 
These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, our reported financial information may be inaccurate and we will encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements by our independent auditors, which in turn may have material adverse effects on our ability to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and to comply with SEC reporting obligations.
 
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports or identifying fraud. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
 
We are subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, and a lack of effective controls could preclude the Company from accomplishing these critical functions. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in connection with, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5 (“AS 5”) which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.  Although we intend to augment our internal control procedures and expand our accounting staff, there is no guarantee that this effort will be adequate.
 
During the course of testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and AS5. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
 
Shareholders may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.
 
Our common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and ask prices for our common stock on the OTCBB may fluctuate widely. As a result, shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.

The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
 
   The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
 
 
dilution caused by the issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities in connection with future capital financings to fund business operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
 
announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by the Company’s competitors;
 
our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions or other business initiatives;
 
fluctuations in revenue from our petroleum products;
 
changes in the market for petroleum products and/or in the capital markets generally;
 
changes in the demand for petroleum products, including changes resulting from the introduction or expansion of new petroleum products;
 
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
 
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
 
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting us, our competitors and/or our industry;
 
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
 
additions and departures of key personnel;
 
announcements of technological innovations or new products available to our industry;
 
announcements by relevant governments pertaining to incentives for biodegradable product development programs;
 
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and
 
significant sales of our common stock, including sales by the investors following registration of the shares of common stock issued in future offerings by us.
 
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may cause our stock price to decline.
 
Operating results will likely vary in the future primarily as the result of fluctuations in our revenues and operating expenses, expenses that we incur, and other factors. If results of operations do not meet the expectations of current or potential investors, the price of our common stock may decline.
 
We are required to pay dividends under certain recent financing arrangements but otherwise we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We do not intend to declare dividends payable to common stock shareholders for the foreseeable future.  We anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in our common stock.
 
Risks Related to the Company’s Corporate Structure
 
PRC laws and regulations governing our business and the validity of certain contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we could be subject to sanctions which could result in significant disruptions to our operations and/or our ability to generate revenues.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with our vendors and customers. We are considered a foreign person or foreign enterprise under PRC law.  These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
 
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our business. We cannot assure our shareholders that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
 
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
 
 
9

 
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi (“RMB”) into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current structure, our cash receipts are primarily derived from cash transfers from our PRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries and our affiliated entities to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay cash or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our common stock.
 
 Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or otherwise adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy.
 
The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.
 
In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice clarifying the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents had been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the issuance of the January notice, each of the PRC residents is required to submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch to register his or her respective ownership interests in the offshore company. The SAFE notices do not specify the timeframe during which such registration must be completed. The PRC resident must also amend such registration form if there is a material event affecting the offshore company, such as, among other things, a change to share capital, a transfer of stock, or if such company is involved in a merger and an acquisition or a spin-off transaction or uses its assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. We have notified our shareholders who are PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notices. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all of our shareholders who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by these SAFE notices. The failure or inability of our  PRC resident shareholders to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to us.
 
As it is uncertain how the SAFE notices will be interpreted or implemented, it is difficult to predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure our shareholders or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the SAFE notices. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
 
The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Our revenues and costs are denominated in RMB. An appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our RMB denominated financial assets into U.S. Dollars, as the U.S. Dollar is our reporting currency.
 
PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents, if applied to us, may subject the PRC resident shareholders of us or our parent company to personal liability and limit our ability to acquire. PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.
 
In October 2005 SAFE issued a public notice, the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, or the SAFE notice, which requires PRC residents, including both legal persons and natural persons, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China, referred to as an "offshore special purpose company," for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests held by them.  In addition any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch with respect to that offshore special purpose company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital transfer of shares, merger, division, equity investment or creation of any security interest over any assets located in China. Moreover, if the offshore special purpose company was established and owned the onshore assets or equity interests before the implementation date of the SAFE notice, a retroactive SAFE registration is required to have been completed before March 31, 2006. If any PRC shareholder of any offshore special purpose company fails to make the required SAFE registration and amendment, the PRC subsidiaries of that offshore special purpose company may be prohibited from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the offshore special purpose company. Moreover, failure to comply with the SAFE registration and amendment requirements described above could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. After the SAFE notice, an implementation rule on the SAFE notice was issued on May 29, 2007 which provides for implementation guidance and supplements the procedures as provided in the SAFE notice.
 
Due to lack of official interpretation of SAFE notice and implementation rules, some of the terms and provisions in the SAFE remain unclear and implementation by central SAFE and local SAFE branches of the SAFE notice has been inconsistent since its adoption.  Based on the advice of our PRC counsel and after consultation with relevant SAFE officials, we believe the PRC resident shareholders of our parent company, Longwei Petroleum Investment Holdings Limited, were required to complete their respective SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice.  Moreover, because of uncertainty over how the SAFE notice and its implementation rules will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE notice and implementation rules will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with the SAFE notice by our or our parent company's PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always complete the necessary registration procedures required by the SAFE notice.  We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our or our parent company's PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident shareholders to comply with the SAFE notice, if SAFE requires it, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiary's ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

On October 29, 2009, the Company entered in a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 13,499,274 of its newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,499,274 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $14,849,201.50.  National Securities Corporation acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement and was awarded 1,349,927 Warrants to purchase common stock under the same terms as the Investors.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $1.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock do not have voting rights except as required by Colorado law.  In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot, without the written consent of the holders of 75% of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in the certificate of designation) senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock, or any series of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available therefore, an amount in cash equal to $1.10 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  No distribution shall be made on any junior securities by reason of any liquidation of the Company unless each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received all amounts in full to which such holder shall be entitled. The Series A Preferred Stock holders shall be entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 6% of the Liquidation Price (which is defined as $1.10) payable quarterly.  The Series A Preferred Stock also contains limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their shares to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

The Warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an exercise price of $2.255 per share.  The Warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the Warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased.  The Warrants contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their Series A Warrants to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
Additionally, as further consideration for the transaction, the Company, along with the Investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement, or the Make Good Escrow Agreement with certain insiders of the Company who placed an aggregate of 13,499,274 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow, or the Escrow Shares, to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met.  Pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, if the After Tax Net Income reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report is less than $23,900,000 (subject to certain exclusions), then the Investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis (determined by dividing each Investor’s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Agreement) for no additional consideration.

Highlights and Executive Summary
 
We are an energy company that, through its subsidiaries, engages in oil and gas operations in the People’s Republic of China , or PRC.  Oil and gas operations consist of transporting, marketing and selling finished petroleum products.  Our headquarters and primary facilities are located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, or Shanxi. Our second facility is located in Gujiao, Shanxi. The Gujiao facility increased our  storage capacity for its products from 50,000 metric tons to 120,000 metric tons. The Gujiao facility was acquired in January 2009 and began to operate and generate revenues and profits for us in October, 2009. We purchase diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene, or the Products, from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. We are 1 of 3 licensed intermediaries in Taiyuan City and the sole licensed intermediary in Gujiao that operates its own large scale storage tanks. We have the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. Our storage tanks have the largest storage capacity of any non-government controlled entity in Shanxi.  We seek to earn profits by selling our Products at competitive prices to large scale gas stations, coal plants, other power supply customers and small, independent gas stations. We also earns revenue by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi and through the sale of diesel and gasoline at gas stations located at each of our facilities. The sales price and the cost basis of our products are largely dependent on the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond our control.

For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $71,236 thousand, an increase of 33% from revenues of $53,643 thousand reported for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  For the year ended June 30, 2009, we reported revenues of approximately $197 million, an increase of 37% from revenues of approximately $144 million reported for the year ended June 30, 2008.  The Company continued to expand its customer base. The new Gujiao facility also began to ship significant deliveries of Products during December 2009. The Gujiao facility generated $8,474 thousand in revenues while not at full capacity during the three months ended December 31, 2009. We believe Gujiao is on track to generate at least $40 million in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $130,597 thousand as compared to $98,118 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase of $32,479 thousand or 33% was primarily due to certain new customer contracts and an additional $8,474 thousand in revenues generated by the new Gujiao facility.  Additionally, the average sales price per metric ton of product the Company sold was $0.80 thousand  and $0.72 thousand  during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Costs of Sales

Costs of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $105,060 thousand as compared to $76,539 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2008.  The increase of $28,521 thousand or 37% was primarily due to the revenue growth resulting from certain new customer contracts.  The Company’s gross profit was 20% and 22%, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  The average cost basis per metric ton of product the Company sold was $0.57 thousand  and $0.55 thousand  during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $1,407 thousand as compared to $2,210 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease of $803 thousand or 36% was primarily due to the curtailing of administrative costs in order to focus resources on the new Gujiao facility’s buildout.  Operating expenses for the remaining two quarters of the year ended June 30, 2010 should be more substantial. Management expects salaries of all employees in the PRC will be paid in cash.  Repairs and maintenance expense is likely to increase as a result of the initial operations of the Gujiao facility.
 
Net Income

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $3,630 thousand as compared to $14,250 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2008. In accordance with GAAP, the Company recorded a noncash adjustment to the fair value of its newly issued stock warrants and previously outstanding stock warrants totaling $14,276. If the noncash adjustment had not been necessary to record, the Company’s net income would have been $17,906 thousand, which would represent net income growth of 26% for the six months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008.

Basic and Diluted (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Shareholders per Share

The Company’s basic net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share was $(0.06) and $0.19 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $8,644 thousand, which is a noncash adjustment, during the six months ended December 31, 2009. The deemed dividend is a result of the calculation of the estimated fair market value of the stock the investor purchased less the purchase price of the stock. The deemed dividend is calculated by multiplying the number of shares of common stock that the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into, or 13,499,274, by the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common on October 29, 2009, or $2.05, less the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock, or $1.10 per share. As a result of the Series A Preferred Stock being immediately convertible into common stock, the deemed dividend is a one-time nonrecurring expense and does not result in any additional mark to market adjustment, expense, or adjustment to the Company’s basic and diluted (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share in any future reporting period.
 
The Company’s diluted net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share was $(0.06) and $0.18 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The increase of $17,593 or 33% was primarily due to certain new customer contracts and additional $8,474 thousand  revenues generated by the new Gujiao facility.  Additionally, the average sales price per metric ton of product the Company sold was $0.79 thousand and $0.70 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Costs of Sales

Costs of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $57,308 thousand as compared to $41,704 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  The increase of $15,604 thousand or 37% was primarily due to the revenue growth resulting from certain new customer contracts and the additional $8,474 thousand in revenues generated by the new Gujiao facility. The Company’s gross profit was 20% and 22%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  The average cost basis per metric ton of product the Company sold was $0.62 thousand and $0.55 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Basic and Diluted (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Shareholders per Share

  The Company’s basic net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share was $(0.15) and $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $8,644 thousand, which is a noncash adjustment, during the three months ended December 31, 2009. The deemed dividend is a result of the calculation of the estimated fair market value of the stock the investors purchased less the purchase price of the stock. The estimated deemed dividend is calculated by multiplying the number of shares of common stock that the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into, or 13,499,274, by the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common on October 29, 2009, or $2.05, less the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock, or $1.10 per share. As a result of the Series A Preferred Stock being immediately convertible into common stock, the deemed dividend is a one-time nonrecurring expense and does not result in any additional mark to market adjustment, expense, or adjustment to the Company’s basic and diluted (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share in any future reporting period.

The Company’s diluted net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per share was $(0.15) and $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $196,811 as compared to $143,788 for the year ended June 30, 2008. We generated increased revenues during the year ended June 30, 2009 as a result of certain new customer contracts.  Additionally, the average sales price per metric ton of product we sold was $0.8 and $0.7 during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Costs of Sales

Costs of sales for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $157,341 as compared to $106,801 for the year ended June 30, 2008.  Our gross profit was 20% and 26%, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  The average cost basis per metric ton of product we sold was $0.7 and $0.6 during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $7,667 as compared to $4,863 for the year ended June 30, 2008. Operating expenses in 2009 consisted of $3,664 in stock based compensation, $1,183 in repairs and maintenance and $1,108 in debt extinguishment expense, among others.  Operating expenses in 2008 consisted of $0 in stock based compensation, $2,549 in repairs and maintenance and $0 in debt extinguishment expense, among others. Management expects salaries of all employees in the PRC will be paid in cash.  However, consultants and others located outside of the PRC have been willing to accept stock based compensation in lieu of cash.  We have no plans to make stock based compensation a normal attribute of its employees and consultants’ contracts but it is likely some stock issuances for compensation will be awarded during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 and forward. The large stock based compensation awards granted during the year ended June 30, 2009 are not likely to be repeated during the year ended June 30, 2010. Repairs and maintenance expense is likely to increase as a result of the initial operations of the Gujiao facility.  Debt extinguishment expense was the result of a February 2009 settlement agreement with a group of investors. A similar expense is not expected to be incurred in the year ended June 30, 2010.

Net Income

Net income for the years ended June 30, 2009 was $21,777 as compared to $20,715 for the year ended June 30, 2008, due to the reasons set forth above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors the Company believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to: (1) inventory costs and reserves; (2) asset impairments (3) and depreciable lives of assets. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. The Company evaluates and updates these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates that have been used.
 
 
21

 
Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1,  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, as they require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
         
Description
 
Judgments and Uncertainties
 
Effect if Actual Results
Differ from Assumptions
Inventories
       
 
The Company states its inventories at the lower of cost or market value and net of the cost of excess and obsolete items.
 
 
The determination of inventory valuation reserves requires management to make estimates and judgments on the future salability of inventories. Valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory are estimated by comparing the inventory levels  in order to identify inventory for which the resale value or replacement value is less than the inventoriable cost. Other factors that management considers in determining these reserves include whether individual inventory parts meet current specifications and can be substituted for a part currently being sold or used as a service part, overall market conditions, and other inventory management initiatives.
 
 
Estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case inventory may be understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventories. In the future, if inventories are determined to be overvalued, the Company would be required to recognize such costs in cost of sales at the time of such determination. Likewise, if inventories are determined to be undervalued, costs of sales may have been over-reported in previous periods and the Company would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale.
 
         
 
The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts .
 
 
These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use.  It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for the Company’s assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to level of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Company uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs.
 
 
Estimates contemplated by the Company with regard to the recoverability of carrying amounts for its long lived assets may prove to be inaccurate, in which case property, plant and equipment may be understated or overstated. In the future, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be overvalued, the Company would be required to recognize such costs in operating expenses at the time of such determination. Likewise, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be undervalued, operating expenses may have been over-reported in previous periods and the Company would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale.
 
           
Depreciable Lives
         
 
The estimated depreciable life of long lived assets is estimated upon the acquisition of assets
 
   
These assets are reviewed by management and assigned a specific depreciable life.  The depreciable life is used to estimate the term for which the assets cost basis should be depreciated or expense over.  The Company uses all readily available information in determining a depreciable life that is a reasonable approximation of the actual depreciable life of an asset.
 
 
 
Estimates for depreciable life contemplated by the Company may prove to be inaccurate, in which case property, plant and equipment may be understated or overstated. In the future, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be overvalued, the Company would be required to recognize such costs in operating expenses at the time of such determination. Likewise, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be undervalued, operating expenses may have been over-reported in previous periods and the Company would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale.

BUSINESS
Overview
 
We are an energy company that, through our subsidiaries, engages in oil and gas operations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).  Oil and gas operations consist of transporting, marketing and selling finished petroleum products.  The Company’s headquarters and primary facilities are located in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province (Shanxi). We purchases diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene (Products) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. We are 1 of 5 licensed intermediaries in Shanxi that operates its own large scale storage tanks and has the necessary licenses to operate and sell products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC.  Our storage tanks have the largest storage capacity of any non-government operated entity in Shanxi.  We seek to earn profits by selling our products at competitive prices to large scale gas stations, coal plants and other power supply customers and small, independent gas stations. We also earn revenue by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi and through the sale of diesel and gasoline at a gas station located on our property in Taiyuan. The sales price and the cost basis of our products are largely dependent on the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond our control.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $71,236 thousand, an increase of 33% from revenues of $53,643 thousand reported for the three months ended December 31, 2008.   For the year ended June 30, 2009, we reported revenues of approximately $197 million, an increase of 37% from revenues of approximately $144 million reported for the year ended June 30, 2008.  We continue to expand our customer base and the pricing of our Products continued to follow a trend towards higher, more profitable pricing.
 
Our profit margins by product and service category for 2009 and 2008 are provided below:

Customers
 
Our primary customers are large-scale gas stations, which represented approximately 45% and 55% of our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  These customers primarily buy diesel and gasoline. The second largest group of customers consists of coal plants which use diesel, gasoline and fuel oil for heat and solvents.  These customers represented approximately 45% and 35% of our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our third largest group of customers consists of small, independent gas stations. These gas stations represented approximately 10% and 10% of our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  These gas stations buy gasoline and diesel.
 
Products
 
We purchase diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene from various petroleum refineries in the PRC.  We have historically sold large quantities of diesel and gasoline products and have a large and expanding supply chain in place. We do not generally modify the Products prior to sale. However, in some scenarios the Company will further refine and modify its Products upon the request of its customers.

Facilities
 
Taiyuan
 
We have two facilities where operations will be conducted in the future.  The facility in Taiyuan, Shanxi was our original facility and remains our headquarters today.  This facility has a total of 14 storage tanks with a capacity to store approximately 50,000 metric tons of Products.  All of our revenues earned during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were earned through this facility. We maintain delivery and distribution platforms, including a railroad and a vehicle loading and unloading station at this facility.
 
Gujiao
 
In July, 2007 we made an initial deposit of approximately $9.2 million on a $30.0 million purchase contract for the Company’s second facility in Gujiao, Shanxi (Gujiao Facility).  On June 30, 2009, we made the final payment on the purchase contract for approximately $7.1 million.  The Gujiao Facility has a total of 8 storage tanks with a capacity to store approximately 70,000 metric tons of our products. We are in the process of finalizing the restoration of this facility, which is currently estimated to be complete in January 2010.  Once the facility is restored, we will also maintain delivery and distribution platforms, including a railroad and a vehicle loading and unloading station at this facility.
 
Operating Licenses
 
We hold a Finish Oil Wholesale License (FO License), granted by the PRC government.  The FO License allows us to sell our products to wholesale customers and other users of gasoline, fuel oil and diesel oil.  This license must be renewed every 5 years.  We hold this license at the discretion of the PRC government.  We also hold a Dangerous Chemical Products Businesses License (DGP License) that allows us and our personnel to handle and transport gasoline and diesel oil.   The DGP License has to be renewed every 3 years.  The constitution of the PRC states that all mineral and oil resources belong to the PRC.  Without these licenses, we would not be able to sell our products.
 
Industry Overview and Market Opportunity
 
 According to www.Platts.com, the PRC is the second largest oil consumer in the world.  Platts also noted that in July, 2009, the PRC reached all-time highs in crude oil imports and refining rates and had an implied demand of approximately 35 million metric tons of oil.  Our operations are in Shanxi, which is a center of industrial operations and energy supply within the PRC.  We believe our Taiyuan facility is well positioned to continue revenue growth.  The Gujiao Facility is located within a dense industrial geography and is expected to generate significant revenue growth within its initial year of operations and going forward.  The two facilities have a combined storage capacity of 120,000 metric tons.
 
We believe there are four key market trends that will allow us to achieve substantial growth in the next five years.
 
1.  
Oil consumption by the PRC is growing by 7.5%, according to the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.
2.  
Car ownership in the PRC is expected to grow at an annual rate of 19%. The Company's primary end users are individuals driving cars.
3.  
The PRC currently imports 32% of its oil. We are located in a province in the PRC that does not have any oil refineries. Our storage tanks and strong supply network are extremely strong barriers to entry whereby the competitive marketplace is not lively to change dramatically in the future.
4.  
A report by the International Energy Agency suggests that the PRC may surpass the Unites States in Oil imports by 2030.

Business Strengths
 
Storage Capacity
 
We have a distinct advantage over our competitors in Shanxi as a result of operating our facilities in Taiyuan and Gujiao. These two facilities, combined, represent the largest non-government operated petroleum storage and distribution facility in Shanxi.  The storage capacity is critical as there are no significant petroleum refineries operating in Shanxi as of the date of this report.  All petroleum products are imported to Shanxi from other provinces within the PRC.  Additionally, maintaining adequate and potentially excessive storage capacity allows us to be flexible and take advantage of pricing, supply and demand fluctuations within the marketplace.
 
Licenses to Operate
 
Our FO License allows the Company to operate throughout the PRC.  The FO License held by us is 1 of 17 such licenses currently effective within Shanxi.  Furthermore, only 4 of our non-government controlled competitors hold both the FO License and operate a significant storage facility.
 
 Business Strategy
 
Expansion of Customer Base
 
We continue to seek expansion of our customer base within Taiyuan City, Shanxi, and are focused on the development of our customer base at the Gujiao Facility.
 
Monitoring and Management of Market Pricing
 
We will continue to monitor and manage our current inventory, the level of demand for our products from our customers, and will continue to ensure our supply chain remains strong.
 
Acquistion of Additional Facilities
 
We will continue to seek out additional facilities with the intention of acquiring additional facilities in the future.  We expect to be successful with our operations at the Gujiao Facility.  Future potential acquisitions will be contemplated by our management with the knowledge and understanding we have gained from operations and business development work completed at both the Taiyuan and Gujiao facilities.  In general, we intend to review potential acquisitions of facilities that we believe will generate profits over the initial 5 year term for us that equals or exceeds the total purchase price of a new facility.
 
Company History
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc.  On October 12, 2007, we changed our name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited. On October 16, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and agreed to issue 69,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding ownership units of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (Longwei BVI), a British Virgin Islands entity.  This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, formerly known as Tabatha II, Inc., did not have any operations and majority-voting control was transferred to Longwei BVI.  The transaction required a recapitalization of Longwei BVI. Since Longwei BVI acquired a controlling voting interest; it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (formerly Tabatha II, Inc.) was deemed the legal acquirer.
 
Research and Development
 
We do not currently conduct any research and development.

We depend on suppliers, namely refineries, for inventory. The cost of inventory may fluctuate substantially and it is possible that our demand for inventory could be met with a short supply, may be available from only one or a limited number of suppliers, or may only be available from foreign suppliers. Increased costs or difficulties in obtaining inventory in the requisite quantities, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The credit crisis and rapidly escalating raw material costs across a variety of industries created additional risks for our supplier base. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, the Company’s suppliers could face financial difficulties as a result of the global economic downturn. We actively monitor our suppliers' financial condition, but to date we have no knowledge of significant concerns with the financial stability of any of our major suppliers.
 
We are dependent upon the ability of refinery suppliers to meet product specifications, standards and delivery schedules at anticipated costs. While we maintain a qualification and performance surveillance system to control risk associated with this reliance on third parties, the failure of suppliers or to meet commitments could adversely affect delivery schedules and profitability, while jeopardizing our ability to fulfill commitments to customers.
 
 Intellectual Property
 
We hold two Finish Oil Wholesale Licenses and two Dangerous Chemical Products Businesses Licenses.  These two licenses were initially acquired when we began operations in 1995.  These licenses do not appear on our balance sheets within the consolidated financial statements.  However, the FO Licenses have a renewable 5 year term and the DGP Licenses have a renewable 3 year term.  We consider these licenses to be extremely valuable and believe our operations would be severely impacted if these licenses were not maintained by us.
 
Inflation
 
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
 
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
 
Our operating subsidiaries purchase all products and render services in the PRC, and receive payment from customers in the PRC using RMB as the functional currency.  All of our customers and suppliers are located in the PRC. While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and the majority of consolidated operating costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.
 
We incurred a foreign currency translation adjustment of $(1,372) for the year ended June 30, 2009, as compared with the foreign currency translation adjustment of $7,709 for the year ended June 30, 2008.   On July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy, revalued the RMB by 2.1 percent and allowed the RMB to appreciate as much as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar. We implemented exchange rates in translating RMB into U.S. dollars in our financial statements for years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the periods presented and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign currency translation adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.  If the RMB appreciates against the U.S. dollar, revenue and expenses would be higher than they would have been if there were no fluctuations in the currencies.  Conversely, if the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, revenue and expenses would be lower than they would have been if there were no fluctuations in the currencies.

Companies which operate petroleum and petrochemical businesses in China are subject to a variety of taxes, fees and royalties.
 
On March 26, 2006, the PRC government imposed a special oil income levy on revenues generated from the sale of domestically produced crude oil when the realized price exceeds US$ 40 per barrel. The special oil income levy has five levels and is calculated and charged according to the progressive ad valorem rates on the excess amounts. The levy is calculated on a monthly basis and collected on a quarterly basis. The applicable rate of the levy is determined based on the weighted average crude oil sale price of the exploration and production company of a particular month.
 
Starting from January 1, 2008, the general enterprise income tax rate imposed on entities, other than certain enterprises defined in the new Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, shall be 25%.

Employees
 
We currently have 65 employees, including our officers. We expect that additional sales and installation staff will be required to close the prospects currently in our sales pipeline. We hope to keep our operating costs low by using supplemental contract labor and subcontracting portions of work to installers and other specialists, as is common in the construction industry. Our employees are not represented by any union.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
Other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business that we do not expect, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on us, there is no currently pending legal proceeding and, as far as we are aware, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject.

Conflicts of Interest
 
Certain potential conflicts of interest are inherent in the relationships between our officers and directors and us.
 
From time to time, one or more of our affiliates may form or hold an ownership interest in and/or manage other businesses both related and unrelated to the type of business that we own and operate. These persons expect to continue to form, hold an ownership interest in and/or manage additional other businesses which may compete with our business with respect to operations, including financing and marketing, management time and services and potential customers. These activities may give rise to conflicts between or among the interests of us and other businesses with which our affiliates are associated. Our affiliates are in no way prohibited from undertaking such activities, and neither us nor our shareholders will have any right to require participation in such other activities.
 
Further, because we intend to transact business with some of our officers, directors and affiliates, as well as with firms in which some of our officers, directors or affiliates have a material interest, potential conflicts may arise between the respective interests of us and these related persons or entities. We believe that such transactions will be effected on terms at least as favorable to us as those available from unrelated third parties.
 
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted policies and procedures which require that: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval, (ii) the transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors, and (iii) the transaction be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
 
Our policies and procedures regarding transactions involving potential conflicts of interest are not in writing.  The Company understands that it will be difficult to enforce our policies and procedures and will rely and trust our officers and directors to follow our policies and procedures.  We will implement our policies and procedures by requiring the officer or director who is not in compliance with our policies and procedures to remove himself and the other officers and directors will decide how to implement the policies and procedures, accordingly.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
     
To our knowledge, during the past five (5) years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

These columns represent the aggregate maximum number and percentage of shares that the selling stockholders can own at one time (and therefore, offer for resale at any one time) due to their 4.99% limitation.
 
(2)
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the secured convertible notes is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. The number of shares of common stock outstanding as of February 9, 2010 was 84,747,020.
 
(3)
The Selling Stockholder may not to convert the series A preferred stock or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise exceeds 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table for the selling stockholders exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders could own beneficially at any given time through their ownership of the secured convertible notes and the warrants. In that regard, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by the selling stockholder set forth in the table is not determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
 
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of the securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers.  Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
PENNY STOCK
 
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
 
·  
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·  
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must
 
·  
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·  
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
 
·  
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·  
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Common Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share.  As of February 12, 2010 there were 85,191,546  common shares issued and outstanding.
  
The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by the Company’s board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.
 
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable.  Our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Colorado for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of the Company’s securities.  All material terms of our common stock have been addressed in this section.
 
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of the Company’s directors.

Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.  The terms of the preferred shares are at the discretion of the board of directors.  On October 29, 2009, the Company designated 14,000,000 shares of preferred stock as series A preferred stock.  As of March 4, 2010, 12,899,274 shares of series A preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
 
The series A preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $1.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  The holders of our series A preferred stock do not have voting rights except as required by Colorado law.  In addition, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, we cannot, without the written consent of the holders of 75% of the then outstanding series A preferred stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in the certificate of designation) senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any series of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (iii) amend our certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock or the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, The holders of our series A preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available therefore, an amount in cash equal to $1.10 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  No distribution shall be made on any junior securities by reason of any liquidation of the Company unless each holder of series A preferred stock shall have received all amounts in full to which such holder shall be entitled. The series A preferred stock holders shall be entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 6% of the liquidation price of each share of series A preferred stock, which is defined as $1.10, payable quarterly.  The series A preferred stock also contains limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their shares to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
Dividends
 
The Company has not paid any cash dividends to shareholders.  The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and depends  upon the Company’s earnings, if any, the Company’s capital requirements and financial position, the Company’s general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.  It is the Company’s present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in the Company’s business operations.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The Company’s directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Colorado Statutes and the Company’s Bylaws. The Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Company’s directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, The Company have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the Company’s payment of expenses incurred or paid by the Company’s director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, The Company will, unless in the opinion of the Company’s counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are  appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited and Subsidiaries  
Footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding, Limited (the “Company”) is an energy company that, through its subsidiaries, engages in oil and gas operations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).  Oil and gas operations consist of transporting, marketing and selling finished petroleum products.  The Company’s headquarters and primary facilities are located in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province (“Shanxi”). The Company purchases diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene (the “Products”) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. The Company is 1 of 5 licensed intermediaries in Shanxi that operates its own large scale storage tanks and has the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. The Company’s storage tanks have the largest storage capacity of any non-government operated entity in Shanxi.  The Company seeks to earn profits by selling its Products at competitive prices to large scale gas stations, coal plants and other power supply customers and small, independent gas stations. The Company also earns revenue by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi and through the sale of diesel and gasoline at a gas station located on the Company’s property in Taiyuan. The sales price and the cost basis of the Company’s products are largely dependent on the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc.  On October 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding, Limited.
 
Control by Principal Shareholders
 
The Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties, own beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets or business.
 
Financial Statements Presented
 
On October 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and agreed to issue 69,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding ownership units of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, (“Longwei BVI”) a British Virgin Islands entity.  This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, formerly known as Tabatha II, Inc., did not have any operations and majority-voting control was transferred to Longwei BVI.  The transaction also requires a recapitalization of Longwei BVI. Since Longwei BVI acquired a controlling voting interest; it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (formerly Tabatha II, Inc.) was deemed the legal acquirer.
 
The historical consolidated financial statements of the Company are those of Longwei BVI, and of the consolidated entities from October 16, 2007, the date of merger, and subsequent.  The consolidated financial statements for the Company for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include the financial statements of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, Longwei BVI, Longwei BVI’s subsidiary Taiyuan Yahua Energy Conversion Ltd. (“Taiyuan Yahua”),  Taiyuan Longwei Economy & Trading Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Taiyuan Yahua and Shanxi Heitan Zhingyou Petrochemical Co., Ltd. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with GAAP.

A total of 95% of the ownership units are held by the Company. The remaining 5% of the ownership units are held in trust by an individual who is also an employee of the Company. This ownership structure is organized as such due to PRC business ownership laws.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the consolidated balance sheets and cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained at banks within the PRC. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which do not provide for insurance against lost funds. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
 
Advances to Suppliers
 
Advances to suppliers represents cash paid in advance for purchases of inventory from suppliers.  The Company locks in prices with suppliers in advance by using the Company’s cash resources.  The Company expects to maintain this level of advances in the future to ensure that the Company has adequate supplies and can obtain the best possible price for the Company’s inventory for each purchase. The Company does not foresee potential losses being possible with regard to these advances as a result of the suppliers being large enterprises that have significant controls placed on them by the PRC government.  The Company has not had to make any historical adjustments to these accounts for any deficiencies or negative impacts related to the Company’s suppliers.  The Company receives preferential pricing by paying in advance because the Company receives a discount from the spot price and the Company locks in the price, which provides us with greater profitability.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
 
When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
F-8

 
Property Plant and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is located at the Company’s facilities in Taiyuan City and Gujiao City in the PRC and is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:
 
Description
 
Useful Lives
Land and Buildings
 
20 years
Heavy Machinery and Production Equipment
 
8-20 years
Railway
 
20 years
Motor Vehicles
 
5 years
   
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of undiscounted future net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful lives in determining whether the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. If the carrying values of the assets exceed the expected future cash flows of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying values of the assets and their estimated fair values. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other groups of assets. The evaluation of long-lived assets requires the Company to use estimates of future cash flows. However, actual cash flows may differ from the estimated future cash flows used in these impairment tests. As of June 30, 2009, management does not believe any of the Company’s assets were impaired.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
The Company utilizes the purchase method of accounting for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2002, and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. Goodwill and indefinite−life intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities held by the Company, which are included in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company records revenues when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
 
The Company negotiates contracts with its customers, which may include revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The Company’s accounting policies are defined such that each deliverable under a contract is accounted for separately. Historically, the Company has not entered into contracts with its customers that provided for multiple deliverables.
 
The Company derives the bulk of its revenue from sales of gasoline, diesel, kerosene and fuel oil. These product sales revenues are recognized when customers take possession of goods in accordance with the terms of purchase order agreements that evidence agreed upon pricing and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Cost of revenues for product sales include costs to purchase and transport the product to the Company, costs to deliver the goods to the customer and depreciation on product storage and delivery equipment.
 
Agency fee revenues consists of fees charged to small fuel distributors who lack the required licenses to purchase directly from large refineries. The Company allocates a portion of its purchasing quota to these customers for a fee similar to a sales commission. Agency fee revenues is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement that specifies pricing and irrevocable allocation of a portion of the Company’s purchase quota and collection has occurred. Cost of agency service revenues consists primarily of selling commissions.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company does not have a formal stock option plan.
 
 
F-9

 
 
All shares based payments to employees, consultants and others are required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the  equity award. 
 
 
Stock-based compensation cost includes: compensation cost for the portions of all share-based payments granted to consultants, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance revelant accounting guidance amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock awards.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 financial statements presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net income, total assets or total liabilities.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The Company follows appropriate accounting guidance with regard to the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. The Company reviews guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties.
 
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
 
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
 
Net Earnings Per Share
 
Basic gain or loss per share is computed by dividing the gain or loss available to common stockholders (as the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (as the denominator). Diluted gain or loss per share is computed similar to basic gain or loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potential common stock (including common stock equivalents) had all been issued, and if such additional common shares were dilutive. If the additional common shares are anti-dilutive, they are not added to the denominator in the calculation. Where there is a loss, the inclusion of additional common shares is anti-dilutive (since the increased number of shares reduces the per share loss available to common stock holders).
 
 
F-10

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.  The consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Significant estimates include the stock based compensation, warrant liabilities, depreciation, amortization, useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, and tax liabilities. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any future adjustments could be significant in nature to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  
   
NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary and adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Through the date of these financial statements, the Company has never experienced a significant bad debt.  As  result, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. Trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 consisted of the following:

NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION OF GUJIAO
 
On August 7, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of Shanxi Heitan Zhingyou Petrochemical Co., Ltd (“Shanxi Heitan”) for approximately $17 million.  On August 7, 2007, a payment was made towards the acquisition price for approximately $9.2 million.  On February 5, 2008, the purchase agreement was amended to change the terms of the purchase agreement such that the total purchase price would be approximately $30 million rather than $17 million and the Company would not only acquire the assets of Shanxi Heitan but the Company would also acquire a 95% ownership of Shanxi Heitan.  The remaining 5% of the Shanxi Heitan was not eligible to be acquired under PRC law and was therefore allocated by Shanxi Heitan to an individual from Taiyuan City who is also an employee of the Company. On January 22, 2009, the Company held majority control of the assets and ownership units of Shanxi Heitan. The Company hired an external professional valuation firm to conduct a valuation of the assets acquired from Shanxi Heitan.  The external professional valuation firm determined that the value of the assets was in excess of the total purchase price paid by the Company of approximately $30 million.  In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the results of Shanxi Heitan and the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Shanxi Heitan assumed have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, January 22, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
 
The purchase price of Shanxi Heitan was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company. The Company recorded the full value of the purchase price to land and buildings within the Company’s property, plant and equipment classification on the balance sheets.

Goodwill is comprised of the residual amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Shanxi Heitan was a dormant operating entity upon the date of acquisition.  As a result, the inclusion of Shanxi Heitan’s operating results from January 22, 2009 through June 30, 2009 had no impact on the Company’s statement of operations.  If the operating results had been included since the beginning of the current fiscal year, July 1, 2008, the Company’s pro-forma consolidated revenue and the Company’s pro-forma net income for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $196,811 thousand (unchanged) and $21,777 thousand  (unchanged), respectively.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT
 
 On December 18, 2007, the Company issued convertible debt totaling $2,100 thousand (the “Convertible Debt”) to four entities (the “Holders”).  The Convertible Debt bore interest at an annualized rate of 4%, was convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed exercise price of $0.70 per share, contained piggyback registration rights and a cashless conversion provision if the Company was unable to register the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Convertible Debt by December 18, 2008.  In connection with the Convertible Debt issuance, the Company issued a total of 1,500,000 warrants (the “Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants had an exercise price of $0.80 and could be exercised at any time until December 18, 2010.
 
 On May 27, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Holders whereby the Company issued a total of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $844 thousand.  The settlement agreement was entered into as a result of the Company’s decision to remove the shares underlying the Convertible Debt from a registration statement filed with the SEC during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
 
 On December 18, 2008, the Company defaulted on the Convertible Debt when it failed to make repayment of the Convertible Debt in accordance with the terms entered into with the Holders on December 18, 2007.
 
 On February 2, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Holders of the Convertible Debt.  The significant terms of the settlement agreement are provided below:
 
1.  
The maturity date of the Convertible Debt was extended to September 18, 2009
2.  
The interest rate on the Convertible Debt was retroactively adjusted to approximately 8% for the period from December 17, 2007 through December 18, 2008 and $168 thousand in interest was payable to the Holders immediately
3.  
The exercise price of the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants was lowered from $0.80 to $0.70
4.  
The exercise period of the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants was extended from December 10, 2010 to December 10, 2012
5.  
The Company agreed to issue an additional 1,200,000 warrants (the “Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) to the Holders.  The Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants had an exercise price of $0.70 and could be exercised at any time until February 2, 2014.
If the Convertible Debt is not repaid upon the maturity date, September 18, 2009, the interest rate on the Convertible Debt would increase to a 10% annualized rate
 
F-14

 
The Company determined that the conversion of debt instruments resulted in instruments being exchanged with substantially different terms and applied debt extinguishment accounting. The Company assessed the present value of both the original debt terms and the new debt terms.  The Company determined that the present value of the cash flows associated with the new debt instruments exceeded the present value of the old debt instruments by more than 10%. The present value, on February 2, 2009, of the new debt terms less the present value of the original debts, resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,108 thousand, which was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital and a loss on debt extinguishment within the Company’s statement of operations and change in comprehensive income.  The Company also assessed the beneficial conversion feature at a fair market value and determined the value to be $0.
 
As of June 30, 2009, a balance of $800 thousand remained outstanding on the Convertible Debt.  A total of $1,300 thousand of the Convertible Debt was converted to common stock in the months of May and June, 2009. Accrued interest as of June 30, 2009 totaled $89.

 On December 18, 2007, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debt, the Company issued Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company valued the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants at $1,528 thousand.  The value of the Class A Common Stock Warrants was recorded as an increase to equity and a debt discount which offset the principal balance of the Convertible Debt on the Company’s balance sheets as presented herein.  The value of the warrants was then amortized over the expected term of the Convertible Debt. As a result, as of June 30, 2009, a total of $1,528 thousand has been amortized and recorded as interest expense.

F-18


 
Approval of Reverse Stock Split
 
On July 23, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to implement a reverse stock split whereby one share of the Company’s common stock will be issued for every three shares of the Company’s common stock held by a shareholder.  As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, the reverse stock split has not been implemented by the Company’s management.  The Company can not be certain that the reverse stock split will be implemented in the future.
 
Conversion of Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants
 
 
Extension of Consulting Agreement with Chief Financial Officer
 
On October 6, 2009, the Company agreed to extend the Chief Financial Officer’s consulting agreement until October 31, 2009 under equivalent monthly compensation and terms as previously agreed to.
 
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
 
On October 12, 2009, the Company’s management concluded its review of accounting issues previously identified that related to the February 2, 2009 settlement agreement with the Company’s debtholders. The Company’s management concluded its review process, discussed the issues with its independent auditor, and determined that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 should no longer be relied upon.  The Company’s management determined the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 overstated net income by approximately $1.1 million due to a noncash expense which was not recorded within the financial statements to account for a loss on debt extinguishment.  The loss on debt extinguishment is the result of additional consideration, namely in the form of the Class B stock warrants, that was awarded to the Company’s debtholders upon the finalizing of the February 2, 2009 settlement agreement.  The Company intends to file an amendment to its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as soon as possible.
 
 NOTE 16 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB SFAS 141, Business Combinations.  This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control.  SFAS 141R will require an entity to record separately from the business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date.  This compares to the cost allocation method previously required by SFAS No. 141.  SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met.  Finally, SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date.  This Statement will be effective for business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption of this standard is not permitted and the standards are to be applied prospectively only.  Upon adoption of this standard, there would be no impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 
F-19

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 establishes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities with the intent to provide financial statement users with an enhanced understanding of the entity’s use of derivative instruments, the accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and the effects of these instruments on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, “ Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” . This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS FSP 142-3, to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” ( “FSP APB 14-1” ). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1, to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
            In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “ Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market For That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), with an immediate effective date, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  FSP FAS 157-3 amends FAS 157 to clarify the application of fair value in inactive markets and allows for the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows with appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data does not exist.  The objective of FAS 157 has not changed and continues to be the determination of the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
  
`           In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed,” which further clarifies the principles established by SFAS No. 157. The guidance is effective for the periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for the periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “ Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
 
 
F-20

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Codification is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited and Subsidiaries
Footnotes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding, Limited (the “Company”) is an energy company that, through its subsidiaries, engages in oil and gas operations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).  Oil and gas operations consist of transporting, marketing and selling finished petroleum products.  The Company’s headquarters and primary facilities are located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province (“Shanxi”). The Company’s second facility is located in Gujiao, Shanxi. The Gujiao facility increased the Company’s storage capacity for its products from 50,000 metric tons to 120,000 metric tons. The Gujiao facility was acquired in January 2009 and began to operate and generate revenues and profits for the Company in October, 2009. The Company purchases diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene (the “Products”) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. The Company is 1 of 3 licensed intermediaries in Taiyuan City and the sole licensed intermediary in Gujiao that operates its own large scale storage tanks. The Company has the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. The Company’s storage tanks have the largest storage capacity of any non-government controlled entity in Shanxi.  The Company seeks to earn profits by selling its Products at competitive prices to large scale gas stations, coal plants, other power supply customers and small, independent gas stations. The Company also earns revenue by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi and through the sale of diesel and gasoline at gas stations located at each of the Company’s facilities. The sales price and the cost basis of the Company’s products are largely dependent on the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Control by Principal Shareholders
 
The Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties, own beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets or business.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with GAAP.

A total of 95% of the ownership units are held by the Company. The remaining 5% of the ownership units are held in trust by an individual who is also an employee of the Company. This ownership structure is organized as such due to PRC business ownership laws.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required GAAP for a complete financial presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  The Company’s accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 

 
F - 25


Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates conversion options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), namely ASC Topic 815-40, “ Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity ” (“ASC Topic 815-40”). The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability.  In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense.  Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.  Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted certain sections of ASC 815-40 (formerly known as “EITF 07-5”) and, as a result, determined that certain of its stock warrants previously issued contain down round protection and such instruments are not considered indexed to a company’s own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the Company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.  Accordingly, the warrants with price protection qualify as derivatives and need to be separately accounted for as a liability under ASC 815-40.  In accordance with ASC 815-40, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle has been applied retrospectively and has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity.  The cumulative-effect adjustment amounts recognized in the statement of financial position as a result of the initial adoption of this policy were determined based on the amounts that would have been recognized if the policy had been applied from the issuance date of the instrument. As a result of the accounting change, retained earnings as of July 1, 2009 increased from $90,519 thousand, as originally reported, to $93,030 thousand, warrant derivative liability increased to $1,557 and additional paid-in capital decreased from $2,540 thousand as originally reported, to $0.  Common stock, par value, as of July 1, 2009 decreased from $11,949 thousand, as originally reported, to $10,421 thousand.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008 in order to be comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary and adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Through the date of these financial statements, the Company has never experienced a significant bad debt.  As a result, an allowance for doubtful accounts has not been recorded. Trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 consisted of the following:

NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION OF GUJIAO

On August 7, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of Shanxi Heitan Zhingyou Petrochemical Co., Ltd (“Shanxi Heitan”) for approximately $17,000 thousand.  On August 7, 2007, a payment was made towards the acquisition price for approximately $11,888 thousand.  On February 5, 2008, the purchase agreement was amended to change the terms of the purchase agreement such that the total purchase price would be approximately $29,966 thousand rather than $17,000 thousand and the Company would not only acquire the assets of Shanxi Heitan but the Company would also acquire a 95% ownership of Shanxi Heitan.  The remaining 5% of the Shanxi Heitan was not eligible to be acquired under PRC law and was therefore allocated by Shanxi Heitan to an unaffiliated individual from Taiyuan City to be held in trust on behalf of the Company. On January 22, 2009, the Company therefore held majority control of the assets and ownership units of Shanxi Heitan.  The Company hired an external professional valuation firm to conduct a valuation of the assets acquired from Shanxi Heitan.  The external professional valuation firm determined that the value of the assets was in excess of the total purchase price paid by the Company of approximately $30,000 thousand.  In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the results of Shanxi Heitan and the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Shanxi Heitan assumed have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, January 22, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
 
The purchase price of Shanxi Heitan was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company. The Company recorded the full value of the purchase price to land and buildings within the Company’s property, plant and equipment classification on the balance sheets.

Goodwill is comprised of the residual amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Shanxi Heitan was a dormant entity upon the date of acquisition. Operations by Shanxi Heitan at the Gujiao facility began in October 2009 when limited shipments of Products began. By November 2009, significant shipments of Products were being delivered at the Gujiao facility. For the six and three months ended December 31, 2009, the Gujiao facility generated revenues of $8,474 thousand, respectively.  The gross margin generated from these revenues for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009 was 16%. As a result, the inclusion of Shanxi Heitan’s operating results from January 22, 2009 through December 31, 2009 does not represent financial results the Company would expect from the Gujiao facility if it were fully operational for that time period. If the operating results of Shanxi Heitan, which was a dormant entity at the time, had been included since the beginning of the prior fiscal year, July 1, 2008, the Company’s pro-forma consolidated revenue and the Company’s pro-forma net income for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008 would have been $98,118 thousand (unchanged) and $53,643 thousand (unchanged) and $14,250 thousand (unchanged) and $8,759 thousand (unchanged), respectively.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 On December 18, 2007, the Company issued convertible debt totaling $2,100 thousand (the “Convertible Debt”) to four entities (the “Holders”).  The Convertible Debt bore interest at an annualized rate of 4%, was convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed exercise price of $0.70 per share, contained piggyback registration rights and a cashless conversion provision if the Company was unable to register the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Convertible Debt by December 18, 2008.  In connection with the Convertible Debt issuance, the Company issued a total of 1,500,000 warrants (the “Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants had an exercise price of $0.80 and could be exercised at any time until December 18, 2010.

 On December 18, 2008, the Company defaulted on the Convertible Debt when it failed to make repayment of the Convertible Debt in accordance with the terms entered into with the Holders on December 18, 2007.

 On February 2, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Holders of the Convertible Debt.  The significant terms of the settlement agreement are provided below:

1.  
The maturity date of the Convertible Debt was extended to September 18, 2009
2.  
The interest rate on the Convertible Debt was retroactively adjusted to approximately 8% for the period from December 17, 2007 through December 18, 2008 and $168 thousand in interest was payable to the Holders immediately
3.  
The exercise price of the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants was lowered from $0.80 to $0.70
4.  
The exercise period of the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants was extended from December 10, 2010 to December 10, 2012
5.  
The Company agreed to issue an additional 1,200,000 warrants (the “Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) to the Holders.  The Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants had an exercise price of $0.70 and could be exercised at any time until February 2, 2014.
6.  
If the Convertible Debt is not repaid upon the maturity date, September 18, 2009, the interest rate on the Convertible Debt would increase to a 10% annualized rate

As of December 31, 2009, a balance of $0 remained outstanding on the Convertible Debt.  A total of $867 thousand of principle and interest accrued on the Convertible Debt was converted to common stock in the six months ended December 31, 2009. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2009 totaled $0.

NOTE 10 – OCTOBER 2009 FINANCING

On October 29, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with several investors, including institutional, accredited and non-US persons and entities (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold units, comprised of its newly designated Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and warrants (the “Investor Warrants”), for a purchase price of US$1.10 per unit (the “October 2009 Financing”).  The Company sold 13,499,274 units in the aggregate, which included (i) 13,499,274 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) Warrants to purchase an additional 13,499,274 shares of common stock at an exercise price of US$2.255 per share (the “Exercise Price”) with a three-year term.  Gross proceeds totaled $14,849 thousand, issuance cost totaled $2,468 thousand.  National Securities Corporation acted as placement agent and received (i) a placement fee in the amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds, (ii) 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 1,349,927 shares of common stock at the Exercise Price with a three-year term (“Placement Agent Warrants” and together with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”). An additional 105,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to other third parties who provided assistance with the capital raise.

The Warrants have an Exercise Price which is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances for stock splits, combinations, dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets, issuance of additional shares of common stock or equivalents.  The Warrants may not be exercised if it would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.
 
Accounting for the Warrants

The Company analyzed the Warrants in accordance to ASC Topic 815 to determine whether the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC Topic 815 and, if so, whether the Warrants meet the scope exception of ASC Topic 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of ASC Topic 815.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40”) on July 1, 2009, which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by ASC Topic 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.  As a result of adopting ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the Company concluded that the Warrants issued in the October 2009 Financing should be treated as a derivative liability because the Warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the Conversion Price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable Exercise Price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision.  According to ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the “down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the Warrants to fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815. Therefore, the Company accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 815.  Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, derivatives should be measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

Fair Value of the Warrants

Fair value is generally based on independent sources such as quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. To the extent certain financial instruments trade infrequently or are non-marketable securities, they may not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock using a Black Scholes pricing model and available information that management deems most relevant. Among the factors considered in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flows, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price and trading history of similarly traded securities, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments. The following table provides the valuation inputs used to value the Warrants issued in connection with the October 2009 Financing.

Allocation of the Proceeds at Commitment Date and Re-Measurement as of December 31, 2009

In accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “ Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the proceeds of $14,849 thousand from the October 2009 Financing were first allocated between the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants based upon their estimated relative fair values as of the closing date, resulting in an aggregate amount of $6,205 thousand being allocated to the Warrants and $8,644 thousand being allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock as of October 29, 2009.
 

 
F - 29


 
The re-measured fair value of the Investor Warrants as of December 31, 2009 was $17,177 thousand.  The change in fair value of the Investor Warrants of $10,972 thousand was recorded in earnings for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2009.

Placement Agent Warrants

In accordance with ASC Topic 340 subtopic 10 section S99-1 “Miscellaneous Accounting Expenses of Offering” (“ASC Topic 340 subtopic 10 section S99-1”), the specific incremental costs directly attributable to the October 2009 Financing may properly be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the October 2009 Financing. In accordance with the SEC accounting and reporting manual, the cost of issuing equity securities is charged directly to equity as a deduction against the fair value assigned to shares issued in the October 2009 Financing.  Accordingly, the Company concluded that the Warrants issued to the placement agents are directly attributable to the October 2009 Financing.  If the Company had not issued the Placement Agent Warrants, the Company would have had to pay the same amount of cash as the fair value.  Therefore, as of the Closing Date, the Company recorded the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants of $1,122 thousand as a deduction of the fair value assigned to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Since they contain the same terms as the Investor Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants are also entitled to the benefits of the “down-round protection” provisions, which means that the Placement Agent Warrants will also need to be accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815 with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2009, the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was $1,718 thousand, therefore, the changes of the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants of $596 thousand was recorded in earnings for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2009.

Key Terms of October 2009 Financing

Additional key terms of the Series A Preferred Stock sold by the Company in the October 2009 Financing are summarized as follows. The Company has filed a Form 8-K on November 2, 2009 to provide the complete contractual terms and actual copies of the documents associated with the October 2009 Financing. The following disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2009.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to $14,849 thousand or US$1.10 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, as of the date of Liquidation (collectively, the “Liquidation Price”) before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the common stock or any other junior stock. If upon the occurrence of Liquidation, the assets thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Price, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from and after the issuance date, October 29, 2009.  For each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, dividends are payable at the per annum rate of 6% of the Liquidation Price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Dividends are payable quarterly within five (5) days following the last business day of each June, September, December and March of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), and continuing until the Series A Preferred Stock is fully converted. The Company shall have the right, at its sole and exclusive option, to pay all or any portion of each and every quarterly dividend that is payable on each Dividend Payment Date, either (i) in cash, or (ii) by issuing to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock such number of fully paid and non-assessable unrestricted freely-tradeable shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the value of the cash dividend payable divided by the twenty (20) day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other national senior stock exchange in the United States of America (the “Quoted Market Price”) of the last business day of each June, September, December and March of each year until each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is converted in full to common stock and is no longer outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and is perpetual in nature. Therefore, there is no limit on the amount of dividends that may be paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 

 
F - 30


Voting Rights

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights other than those provided for by Colorado law.

Conversion Rights

At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holder of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at such holder’s option, subject to the limitations described below in “Conversion Restriction , elect to convert all or portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock equal to the quotient of Liquidation Price of the Series A Preferred Stock divided by the initial conversion price of US$1.10. The initial conversion price may be adjusted for stock splits and combinations, dividend and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets, issuance of additional shares of common stock or equivalents with lower price or without considerations etc, as stipulated in the Series A Preferred Stock certificate of designation.

Conversion Restriction

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may not convert the Series A Preferred Stock to common shares if the conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the October 2009 Financing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) with the Investors in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register a total of 120% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the shares underlying the Make Good Agreement (the “Make Good Shares” and together the “Investor Shares”), sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.  The Registration Statement was filed on December 24, 2009. An amendment to the Registration Statement was filed on February 11, 2010. The Company is working to ensure the Registration Statement will be approved by the SEC in February 2010

The Company is required to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of the date when all of the securities covered by that registration statement have been sold or the date on which such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Financing Effectiveness Period”).  If the Registration Statement is not declared effective within the foregoing time periods or ceases to be effective prior to the expiration of the Financing Effectiveness Period, the Warrants will be granted a cashless exercise option such that upon exercise of the Warrants, the holder of the Warrants will not need to pay any cash upon exercise and will be granted a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Quoted Market Price of the Company’s common stock into the value of the Quoted Market Price in excess of the Exercise Price.
 
The Company evaluated the contingent obligation related to the RRA liquidated damages in accordance to ASC Topic 825 subtopic 20 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“ASC Topic 825 subtopic 20”), which requires the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement be separately recognized and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“ASC Topic 450”).  The Company concluded that there are no contingent future payments or a scenario whereby consideration would need to be transferred and such obligation was not probable to incur based on the best information and facts available as of December 31, 2009.  Therefore, no contingent obligation related to the RRA was recognized as of December 31, 2009.

Security Escrow Agreement

In conjunction with the October 2009 Financing, the Company also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the Investors (the “Securities Escrow Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company’s majority shareholders initially placed 13,499,274 shares of Common Stock (equal to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Make Good Shares) (the “ Escrow Shares ”) into an escrow account. The Escrow Shares are being held as security for the achievement of $23,900 thousand in audited net income for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 (the “2010 Performance Threshold”). If the Company achieves the 2010 Performance Threshold, the Escrow Shares will be released back to the majority shareholders. If the 2010 Performance Threshold is not achieved, an aggregate number of Escrow Shares (such number to be determined by the formula set forth in the Securities Escrow Agreement) will be distributed to the Investors, based upon the number of Investor Shares (on an as converted basis) purchased in the October 2009 Financing and still beneficially owned by such Investor, or such successor, assign or transferee, at such time. If less than 100% of the 2010 Performance Threshold is achieved, based on the formula set forth in the Securities Escrow Agreement, a certain amount of Escrow Shares may be released to the Investors. If any Investor transfers Investor Shares, the rights to the Escrow Shares shall similarly transfer to such transferee, with no further action required by the Investor, the transferee or the Company. With respect to the 2010 Performance Threshold, net income shall be defined in accordance with GAAP and reported in the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 adjusted for any expense recorded as a result of the Securities Escrow Agreement during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.
 

 
F - 31

 
According to the accounting interpretation and guidance of the staff of the SEC, the placement of shares in escrow is viewed as a recapitalization similar to a reverse stock split. The agreement to release the shares upon achievement of certain criteria is presumed to be a separate compensatory arrangement with the Company. Accordingly, when the Escrow Shares are released back to the majority shareholders, an expense equal to the amount of the grant-date fair value of $2.05 per share of the Company’s common stock as of October 29, 2009, or the date of the Securities Escrow Agreement will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Otherwise, if the net income threshold is not met and the Escrow Shares are released to the investors instead, it will be accounted for as a capital transaction with the investors resulting in adjustments to the stockholders’ equity accounts only. In this event, no income or expense would be recognized in the Company’s financial statements.
 
As the release of the Escrow Shares to the majority shareholders requires the attainment of the performance threshold for 2010, the Company will only commence to recognize compensation expense when the Company will be able to evaluate whether it is probable that the Company will achieve the 2010 Performance Threshold to provide for the ultimate release of the Escrow Shares back to the majority shareholders.  For the six and three months ended December 31, 2009, no compensation expense has been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in relation to the Securities Escrow Agreement. If the 2010 Performance Threshold is met and all of the Escrow Shares are released back to the Company’s majority shareholders, the Company estimates noncash stock compensation expense of $27,674 thousand will be recognized for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. However, there are many variables associated with the accounting for this potential noncash stock compensation expense and the Company has no accurate method of predicting certain events such as the Investors’ decision to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, the Investors or Placement Agent Warrant holders’ decisions to convert the Warrants, and the noncash expense associated with the fair value adjustments to the Warrants for the year ending June 30, 2010, all of which have a significant impact on whether or not the Company meets the 2010 Performance Threshold and whether or not the Escrow Shares are delivered to the Investors or the majority shareholders of the Company.

Fair Value of the Series A Preferred Stock:

Fair value is generally based on independent sources such as quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. To the extent certain financial instruments trade infrequently or are non-marketable securities, they may not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock using a Black Scholes pricing model and available information that management deems most relevant. Among the factors considered in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flows, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price and trading history of similarly traded securities, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments.

Accounting for the Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as permanent equity as there was no redemption provision at the option of the holders that is not within the control the Company on or after an agreed upon date. The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature in its Series A Preferred Stock to determine if there was an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.  The Company concluded that the embedded conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock does not required to be bifurcated because the conversion feature is clearly and closely related to the host instrument. The Company believes the economic risks and characteristics of the Series A Preferred Stock itself and the common stock the embedded conversion feature allows the Investor to convert into have similar economic risks and characteristics.

Allocation of the Proceeds at Commitment Date and Calculation of Beneficial Conversion Feature

The Company then evaluated whether a beneficial conversion feature exists by comparing the operable conversion price of Series A Preferred Stock with the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date.  The Company concluded that the fair value of common stock was greater than the operable conversion price of Series A Preferred Stock at the commitment date and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock.  In accordance to ASC Topic 470, subtopic 20-30-6, if the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock.  Accordingly, the total proceeds allocated to Series A Preferred Stock were allocated to the beneficial conversion feature with a credit to additional paid-in capital upon the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Since the Series A Preferred Stock may convert to the Company’s common stock at any time on or after the initial issue date, the entire discount previously recorded as the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recognized as a deemed dividend and a reduction to net income attributable to common shareholders.

NOTE 11 – DETACHABLE STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted ASC 815-40 due to the reset provision in the Class A and Class B stock warrants. ASC 815-40 requires the Company to re-evaluate the warrants issued with the convertible notes and to determine if the previous accounting for these items would change. Upon this re-evaluation, the Company determined it is required to reclassify the stock warrants from equity to a liability account. The Company will have to mark to market the value of the stock warrants each reporting period. The Company used a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the value of the stock warrants associated with the convertible notes as of July 1, 2009. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 815-40, a cumulative adjustment increasing July 1, 2009 retained earnings by $2,511 thousand was recorded as of July 1, 2009 to reflect this new accounting policy. The Company will be required to re-value these amounts in each reporting period based on a revised valuation of the warrant derivative liability.

The Company valued the stock warrants as of the issuance dates, December 17, 2007 and February 2, 2009, and as of the most recent fiscal year end, June 30, 2009, in order to determine the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company then valued the stock warrants as of December 31, 2009 in order to mark the stock warrants to market.

NOTE 12 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 600,000,000 shares, in aggregate, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 14,000,000 of which have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value. The Company's current Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of any class or series of preferred stock prior to issuance.  Each such class or series must be given distinguishable designated rights prior to issuance.

Stock Based Compensation

On October 26, 2009, the Company agreed to a new consulting agreement with its Chief Financial Officer. The agreement is for a term of twelve months effective on October 1, 2009.  The Chief Financial Officer received a share award of 100,000 shares of common stock, 25,000 of which are immediately vested and 75,000 of which are subject to a vesting schedule over twelve months. A total of $54 thousand in stock based compensation expense was recognized on October 26, 2009. The remaining value of the stock award is classified as deferred stock based compensation expense and will be amortized over the twelve months ending September 30, 2009. A total of $94 thousand in stock based compensation expense was recognized in connection with this consulting agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement whereby the Company agreed to issue 25,000 shares of common stock valued at $25 thousand to its Chief Financial Officer as partial compensation pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement.  The consulting agreement is effective on July 1, 2009 for a three month term. The stock award was fully amortized over the three month term ending September 30, 2009 resulting in stock based compensation expense of $25 thousand.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation that will not have a material effect on the Company’s operations or finances. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company or the Company’s officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on the Company’s operations or finances.
 
Contingent Fees - Consultant
 
On April 9, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with an entity to provide advisory services with regard to a potential capital raise to be completed by the Company.  The agreement provided for negotiable cash fees for advisory services provided in connection with the capital raise of between $400 thousand and $1,200 thousand.  On October 30, 2009, the agreement was terminated and the Company and consultant entered into a new joint marketing agreement for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010. No contingent consideration was included in the new joint market agreement.

Contingent Significant Noncash Stock Compensation Expense

A total of 13,499,274 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued and outstanding were placed in escrow by the majority shareholders of the Company in accordance with the October 2009 Financing and will either be released to the majority shareholders or the Investors depending upon certain contingent events, once the Company has completed its annual audit for the year ending June 30, 2010. If the 2010 Performance Threshold is met and all of the Escrow Shares are released back to the Company’s majority shareholders, the Company estimates noncash stock compensation expense of $27,674 thousand will be recognized for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. However, there are many variables associated with the accounting for this potential noncash stock compensation expense and the Company has no accurate method of predicting certain events such as the Investors’ decision to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, the Investors or Placement Agent Warrant holders’ decisions to convert the Warrants, and the noncash expense associated with the fair value adjustments to the Warrants for the year ending June 30, 2010, all of which have a significant impact on whether or not the Company meets the 2010 Performance Threshold and whether or not the Escrow Shares are delivered to the Investors or the majority shareholders of the Company.

The calculation of (loss) earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding during the applicable period. The calculation for diluted (loss) earnings per common share recognizes the effect of all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless their impact would be anti-dilutive. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of stock warrants, convertible debt and other common stock equivalents (potentially dilutive shares).  For the period ended December 31, 2009 above, we have excluded certain potentially dilutive shares from the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated for subsequent events between the balance sheet date of December 31, 2009 and February 12, 2010, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock

In January 2010, certain Investors elected to convert a total of 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Exercise of Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants

In January 2010, the remaining holder of 285,714 of Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants elected to convert the stock warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock on a cashless basis.  A total of 107,339 shares of common stock were issued to the holder upon exercise.

NOTE 17 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-06, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”. ASU 2009-06 provides additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and eliminates the disclosures required by paragraph ASC Topic 740-10-50-15(a) through (b) for nonpublic entities. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2009-09 will not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, which amends ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, to require companies to allocate the overall consideration in multiple-element arrangements to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or other third-party evidence of the selling price. ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption will be permitted. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
 
The Company’s directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Colorado Statutes and the Company’s Bylaws. The Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Company’s directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, The Company have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the Company’s payment of expenses incurred or paid by the Company’s director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, The Company will, unless in the opinion of the Company’s counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The recipients of securities in each such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the certificates issued in such transactions.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $1.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock do not have voting rights except as required by Colorado law.  In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot, without the written consent of the holders of 75% of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in the certificate of designation) senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock, or any series of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available therefore, an amount in cash equal to $1.10 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  No distribution shall be made on any junior securities by reason of any liquidation of the Company unless each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received all amounts in full to which such holder shall be entitled. The Series A Preferred Stock holders shall be entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 6% of the Liquidation Price (which is defined as $1.10) payable quarterly.  The Series A Preferred Stock also contains limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their shares to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
The Warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an exercise price of $2.255 per share.  The Warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the Warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased.  The Warrants contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their Series A Warrants to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
Additionally, as further consideration for the transaction, the Company, along with the Investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with certain insiders of the Company who placed an aggregate of 13,499,274 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow (the “Escrow Shares”), to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met.  Pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, if the After Tax Net Income reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report is less than $23,900,000 (subject to certain exclusions) (the “2010 Guaranteed ATNI), then the Investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis (determined by dividing each Investor’s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Agreement) for no additional consideration.

Item 17. Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
 
II-5

 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
