China, Largest Automobile Market in the World & Growing
 
 
§ Longwei is well positioned to benefit from strong projected growth in demand for
 refined petroleum products in the PRC
 Per capita consumption of diesel, gasoline and other refined petroleum products is
 expected to continue to grow strongly throughout the PRC, including Taiyuan City,
 Shanxi Province, due to a number of factors, including increased demand for power
 supply and significant projected increases in per capital motor vehicle ownership and
 continued strong economic growth.
Growth in the auto industry in China is fairly
well know at this point but the growth has
been stronger than expected in the past
year and in recent months.
According to the Associated Press, in 2009
China overtook the United States of America
as the largest automobile market in the
world. Total vehicle sales in 2009 were 13.6
million. John Bonnell, a J.D. Power analyst
stated “Its very, very strong growth, far
beyond expectations we had in the early
part of 2009.”

§ Strong competitive position and participation in high growth markets
 In 1995, Longwei was granted a Finish Oil Wholesale license by the PRC which allows the
 Company to purchase refined petroleum products directly from refineries in China. In
 addition, Longwei has a license for Dangerous Chemical Products Business which allows
 the Company to transport gasoline and diesel oil products. The Company believes that
 such licenses are difficult to obtain and limit new entrants into its business.

 Due to many factors, including rough terrain, there are no oil pipelines in Shanxi. Yet
 Shanxi is providing energy to much of Northern China every day and is a critical player in
 the economic growth China has generated in recent years and will continue to be a critical
 player in years to come. The lack of a pipeline creates an extreme competitive advantage
 whereby storage capacity and solid supply chains win customers more so than price per
 unit of product. Longwei has the largest storage capacity of any non-government operated
 fuel wholesaler in Shanxi Province.
 Longwei has two significant competitors in Taiyuan (there are only two other non-
 government operated fuel wholesalers).Longwei has
no significant competitiors in
 Gujiao.

Competitive Advantages: Storage & Distribution Network

Longwei Suppliers
§ Longwei purchases diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene directly from oil
 refiners and other suppliers with whom the Company believes it has excellent
 relations.
§ Since inception, Longwei has not experienced any difficulty in obtaining finished
 goods or raw materials essential to its business.

Sales and Marketing
Direct Marketing : Longwei employs its own sales
and marketing staff to directly establish the distribution
and sales networks with its customers. Its sales
representatives regularly visit gas stations and fuel oil
consumption intensive enterprises within its
distribution footprint.
Referrals: Referrals from existing customers continue
to be a strong source of new customers.
Major New Customers: In November 2009, Longwei
entered into contracts with 6 new significant customers
who Longwei will service through the Gujiao facility.
Longwei has identified an additional 7 significant
customers that Longwei will aggressively seek
business with and is hopeful to sign these customers
to contracts for the 2010 calendar year. One of these 7
additional customers has verbally committed to
ordering products through Longwei.

§  Geographic Expansion
§ Longwei expanded its finish oil distribution / wholesale
 business into the nearby city of Gujiao City, which is
 located in Shanxi Province approximately 50 km from
 Taiyuan City and is considered to be a key industrial
 center in China for energy production.
§ Longwei has already established a solid customer base in
 Gujiao and generated a total of $8.5 million in revenues at
 Gujiao from October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
 The revenues generated during this period were not

 previous to the investor presented filed on a Form 8-K

 to generate at least $60 million in revenues during the
 fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

Projected Financials
 
 

 
Management has made several significant assumptions and estimates with regard to its financial forecasts provided herein.
Management wishes to explain certain assumptions made within these financial forecasts. These certain assumptions, such as
predictions of future price quotations of Longwei’s common stock and the timing and size of conversions of Longwei’s preferred
stock and stock warrants, are inherently difficult to predict. As a result, management has used its best efforts to provide what it
believes are appropriate and conservative assumptions with regard to these certain assumptions. Management believes the
following assumptions are important to note when reviewing the revised guidance.
 
1. Management has estimated conversions of its current outstanding preferred stock to common stock will result in an additional 3.5
million shares of common stock being issued between March 8, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
2. Management has estimated conversions of its current outstanding preferred stock to common stock will result in an additional 5.4
million shares of common stock being issued between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.
3. Management has estimated exercises of its current outstanding stock warrants to common stock will result in an additional 1.3
million shares of common stock being issued between March 8, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
4. Management has estimated exercises of its current outstanding stock warrants to common stock will result in an additional 6.7
million shares of common stock being issued between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.
5. Management has made the assumption that other than those stock issuances identified herein, no other significant issuances of
its common stock will occur between March 8, 2010 and June 30, 2011.
6. Management has made the assumption that Longwei’s stock price as quoted on a U.S. Stock Exchange on June 30, 2010, will be
$3.25 per share of common stock.
7. Management has made the assumption that Longwei’s stock price as quoted on a U.S. Stock Exchange on June 30, 2011, will be
$4.25 per share of common stock.
8. All other assumptions made by management during the preparation of its revised financial forecast were made utilizing current
financial data, knowledge of pending customer orders, without applying discounts to assumptions regarding fair market valuations
where discounts might be appropriate but Longwei chose to use a conservative approach and did not utilize discounts, with an
understanding of historical trends with regard to Longwei’s business, with a basic understanding of the current currency exchange
rate policies of China, and a basic understanding of the likelihood that current government and independent estimates of continued
economic growth within China and specifically within Shanxi Province, China, will be reasonably correct in the years ending June 30,
2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Projected Financials, Key Assumptions
 
 

 
(a) Any references to “Adjusted" refer to the exclusion of the expense associated with
 the change in the fair market value of Longwei's outstanding stock warrants,
 except in the case of “Adjusted EPS" which refers to the exclusion of the expense
 associated with the change in the fair market value of Longwei's outstanding stock
 warrants, as well as the exclusion of the impact of the one time deemed dividend
 of $8.6 M associated with the October 2009 Financing.
(b) Six Months YTD data and percentages are compared to the prior YTD figures
 reported by Longwei for the period from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
 as reported in Longwei’s 10-Q filed on February 13, 2010 and generally reflect
 one half of a full year of operations. Adjusted EPS is defined above but it is also
 important to recognize that Adjusted EPS for the six months ended December 31,
 2009 was $0.21 as compared to Adjusted EPS for all of fiscal 2009 of $0.29.
(c) The stock warrants are adjusted to fair market value at each reporting period.
 Each adjustment is not a “reversable” transaction. However, if the future fair
 market value of the stock warrants is calculated to be less than the fair market
 value in a previous period, then the stock warrants will be adjusted to fair market
 value resulting in an increase to net income for the positive P&L effect of
 decreasing the recorded fair market value of the stock warrants.
