PART I

Item 1.         Business.
 
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Annual Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are to the combined business of New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Henan Jinding Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Jinding”).
 
Introduction
 
New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. (formerly Sports Source, Inc.) (“NOEC” or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 2004. On November 22, 2006 the Company changed its name to New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp.
 
On October 11, 2006, we completed a stock exchange transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”) with the stockholder of Kinfair Holding Limited (“KHL”). The Exchange Transaction was consummated under Delaware law and pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Exchange Agreement dated effective as of October 11, 2006 (the “Exchange Agreement”).
 
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, 13,700,000 shares of common stock held by the Company’s sole director and majority shareholder were cancelled and the Company issued shares of our common stock to the stockholder of KHL, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of KHL. Pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, KHL became our wholly owned subsidiary. We carry on our business through KHL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jinding.
 
Description of Business
 
We, through the operations of Jinding, have been engaged in the manufacture and distribution of fertilizer and chemical products. The products are distributed to markets in the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC”).
 
Our primary business is the manufacture and sale of urea, a chemical used as fertilizer for crops and in certain manufacturing processes, including the manufacture of resin, plastic and medicine. In the last fiscal year, 68.11% of our revenue was generated through the sale of urea. We also produce and sell methanol. Methanol sales accounted for approximately 19.25% of our revenue in our last full fiscal year.
 
Our other products include Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate, which can be used as a fertilizer for crops and in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In addition, another product we have developed is Dimethyl Ether (“DME”). DME has a variety of industrial applications in the production of pesticides, cosmetics and as a refrigerant. It may also be used as a component of a variety of common industrial chemicals. We believe the potential market for DME is particularly attractive because it can be used as an alternative to conventional petroleum-based diesel fuel in diesel engines that have undergone minor modifications to permit the use of DME.
 
DME can be derived from methanol and possess several advantages over conventional diesel fuel. Petroleum-based diesel fuel is increasingly expensive in the PRC. Because the PRC has limited petroleum reserves in relation to its growing demand, the cost of petroleum-based fuels is driven by global oil prices. Also, the use of DME addresses environmental concerns. DME burns cleaner, producing relatively little exhaust as compared with diesel fuel. It also has a better combustion efficiency, increasing the performance of engines burning DME by 10% to 15%, as compared with conventional diesel fuel. We believe the market for DME in the PRC will expand.
 
All of our products are manufactured in our factory in Xicheng Industrial Zone, Luoshan, Henan Province in the PRC. We own and operate a thermal power station with the capacity to generate 3000 kilowatt of thermal power per hour at our factory in Henan. The power station uses thermal energy that is a by-product of our chemical production operations. We use the resulting electricity in our plant. We sell all of our products inside the PRC, primarily through regional distributors with whom we have long term relationships. We have approximately 1,200 full-time employees (including 100 new employees in the training period), of which 127 employees are part of our management and 20 employees are involved in research and development. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we had gross revenue of $32,463,882 with a net loss of $12,800,854.

History and Organizational Structure
 
NOEC (formerly known as Sports Source, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 2004. Jinding was incorporated in September 2003 and commenced business on October 1, 2003. KHL was formed on January 7, 2006 as a Hong Kong company. Jinding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KHL. KHL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NOEC whose sole business is to act as a holding company for Jinding.

Jinding is located in the Xicheng Industrial Zone of Luoshan, Henan Province, PRC. KHL is located in Room 42, 4/F, New Henry House, 10 Ice House Street, Central, Hong Kong.

Jinding was originally formed and named the Luoshan Fertilizer Factory. In October 2003, the assets of the Luoshan Fertilizer Factory were acquired by the following shareholders: Xinyang Hongchang Group, a company formed in China, with a 63.63% interest, Mr. Wang Guiquan with a 9% interest, Mr. Mai Xiaofu, with a 15% interest, Mr. Zhou Dianchang, with a 5% interest, Mr. Yu Zhiyang, with a 3.685% interest and Mr. Yang Hongtao, with a 3.685% interest in Jinding.

On February 29, 2006, KHL entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with Xinyang Hongchang Group, Mai Xiaofu, Wang Guiquan, Zhou Dianchang, Yu Zhiyang and Yang Hongtao (collectively, the “Sellers”), in which the Sellers transferred their interest in Jinding to KHL for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 38,000,000. As a result of this transaction, KHL owns all of the capital stock of Jinding.

As noted above, on October 11, 2006, NOEC entered into the Exchange Agreement with KHL and Auto Chance Limited, the sole stockholder of KHL. Auto Chance International Limited, is owned by the following six shareholders: Messrs. Chen Si Qiang, Mai Xiao Fu, Wang Gui Quan, Zhou Dian Chang, You Zhi Yang and Yang Hong Tao. Of this group of shareholders, Messrs. Chen Si Qiang, Wang Gui Quan and Zhou Dian Chang are involved in the management of Jinding and NOEC. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, 13,700,000 shares of common stock held by the Company’s sole director and majority shareholder were cancelled and the Company issued shares of our common stock to the stockholder of KHL, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of KHL. Pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, KHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NOEC. NOEC carries on its business through KHL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jinding.
 
Products
 
As an overview, we manufacture urea and coal-based chemicals including Ammonium Bicarbonate, Liquid Ammonia, Methanol and DME. Ammonium Bicarbonate and Liquid Ammonia are mainly used for nitrogenous fertilizers and raw materials of chemical products. Methanol and DME are chemical materials and clean alternatives to fossil fuel. They are used in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, light industry and textile industry.
 
We develop and produce the following top-selling products with the following chemical composition:
 
Fuel Product
 
Product General Information
DME
CH 3 OCH 3
 
DME is a type of clean fuel. It has a single component, short carbon chain, and is contains oxygen, it therefore, has a strong burning performance, high thermal efficiency and no smoking combustion. Similar to the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”), DME is in a gas state when decompressed and the combustor can be used without being changed.
     
Methanol
CH 3 OH
 
Methanol is a clear, colorless, combustible, toxic liquid. Methanol is a clear, combustible, toxic liquid, Methanol, or methyl alcohol, also called wood alcohol, has a molecular weight of 32.04. Methanol is a poisonous chemical which attacks the nervous system and contains a strong anesthetic effect.
  
Fertilizer Product
 
Product General Information
Urea

Urea
 
Features of Urea
 
Urea is a nitrogen-containing chemical product which is produced on a scale of some 100,000,000 tons per year worldwide. Urea is produced commercially from synthetic ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urea can be produced as pills, granules, flakes, pellets, crystals and solutions. The Company produces urea in the form of granules.
 
More than 90% of world production is destined for use as a fertilizer. Urea is highly soluble in water and is therefore also very suitable for use in fertilizer solutions, e.g. in “foliar feed” fertilizers. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. It therefore has the lowest transportation costs per unit of nitrogen nutrient.
 
Urea is produced commercially from two raw materials, ammonia and carbon dioxide. Large quantities of carbon dioxide are produced during the manufacture of ammonia from coal or from hydrocarbons such as natural gas and petroleum derived raw materials. This allows direct synthesis of urea from these raw materials. Our Urea products are derived from coal that is domestically produced in the PRC.
 
Applications of Urea
 
Urea’s principal commercial applications include use as: (i) a main component of fertilizer, providing a relatively cheap source of fixed nitrogen to promote crop growth, (ii) a raw material for the manufactures of plastics specifically, urea-formaldehyde resin, (iii) a raw material for the manufacture of various glues (urea-formaldehyde or urea-melamine-formaldehyde (the latter being waterproof and used for marine plywood) and (iv) a component of animal feed, providing a relatively cheap source of fixed nitrogen.
 
Methanol

Features of Methanol

Methanol (or methyl alcohol), also called wood alcohol, is not only an important chemical product and raw material but also one of China’s future “clean energies.” Among the fundamental organic chemical materials in the world, methanol is second only to ethylene.

The molecular formula of methanol is CH4O and structural formula of being CH3OH (with molecular weight of 32.04), methanol is a colorless liquid at normal temperature and pressure. Methanol can dissolve in water, and in organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and acetone. It may be volatile and the explosion limit of its vapor in the air is 6.0-36.5% (volume ratio). Methanol is a neurotoxin, which is also a relatively strong narcotic. In use of methanol, special attention should be paid to explosion and fire protection.

Applications of Methanol

Methanol is mainly used for the production of medicine, pesticide, dye, plastic, synthetic protein, fiber, formaldehyde, methyl ether. It can also be used as a component of a type of new fuel, improving the performance of gasoline or diesel oil when combined and used in engines that have been built or modified for this fuel.

Production and Revenue

With the completion of its 100,000 tons/year DME project in August 2007, the Company is no longer selling methanol to customers (with few exceptional cases when the margin of methanol is higher than that of DME). Currently, our self-made methanol with 50,000 tons/year capacity can support around 20% to 25% of our 150,000 tons/year DME production.

Ammonium Bicarbonate
 
Features of Ammonium Bicarbonate
 
Ammonium acid carbonate is also called “salvolatile” or “Ammonium Bicarbonate.” Ammonium acid carbonate currently constitutes approximately 50% of China’s aggregate nitrogenous fertilizer and plays an important role in China’s agricultural production. Ammonium acid carbonate is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water.

The molecular formula of ammonium acid carbonate is NH4HCO3. It contains approximately 17% nitrogen. Ammonium acid carbonate is a nitrogenous fertilizer free from (sulfur) sulfate radical. It contains no harmful medium substance and final decompounding substance does not affect soil quality and is one of the safest nitrogenous fertilizers.
 
Another characteristic of ammonium acid carbonate is that its ammonium ion is easily absorbed by soil particles. When buried in soil, it is liable to run off due to infiltration along with water, with leaching loss of only being 1/3 to 1/10 of other nitrogenous fertilizers. Thus, as long as ammonium acid carbonate can be thoroughly exposed to soil and can be absorbed sufficiently, it is not any more volatile than other nitrogenous fertilizers. In some conditions, for example when buried deeply in calcareous soil, there’s less loss of ammonium acid carbonate than with other nitrogenous fertilizers.

Applications of Ammonium Bicarbonate
 
Ammonium acid carbonate is mainly used for agricultural purposes and is suitable for various crops as well as all types of soil. The purified product can be used in the food industry, as well as in such industries as pharmaceutical, galvanization and rubber overshoes.
 
In the food industry, ammonium acid carbonate is used as a leavening agent in breads, cookies, waffles and cake and also as a substitute for yeast in baking. During baking, ammonium acid carbonate decomposes into gaseous products without affecting the flavor.
 
In the chemical industry, ammonium acid carbonate acts as an auxiliary in the production of catalysts. The product is also a neutralizing and buffering agent for organic and inorganic acids. Ammonium acid carbonate is additionally used to reduce formaldehyde emissions from wood particle boards. Furthermore, ammonium acid carbonate can also and has been used as an additive in cleaners and polishes.
 
Dimethyl Ether (“DME”)
 
Background
 
As the PRC’s dependency on imported petroleum has increased in recent years, the PRC continues to seek to develop alternatives to petroleum fuels that are cleaner and can be produced domestically. As a petroleum alternative fuel, DME has already drawn wide attention in various countries. Taking advantage of the PRC’s rich coal and natural gas resources, companies in the PRC are producing DME using a combination of their own technology and advanced foreign techniques.
 
Our production of DME has been limited by market demand. We anticipate that as the demand for diesel grows with increasing consumption of petroleum in the PRC, there will be increasing demand for DME. While the PRC has a relatively low petroleum reserve, it is a country rich in coal resources. It is therefore of strategic significance for the PRC to take advantage of its rich domestic coal resources and produce a clean domestically produced fuel as an alternative to petroleum products.
 
Features of DME
 
DME is a colorless gas with a slight ether flavor. DME can be combined with liquidated petroleum gas (“LPG”), coal gas or natural gas to improve their combustion properties and increase heat quantities. DME with a purity rate of 95% or more can be used to substitute LPG as a fuel. Furthermore, DME can be used as chemical feedstock for production of spray paint, insecticides, air fresheners, fixtures, anti-rust sprays and lubricants.
 
The Company is utilizing the catalytic dehydration of methanol process and such process is protected by a patent in the PRC jointly owned by Sichuan Tianyi Technology Co., Ltd and Southwestern Chemical Industry Design Institute.
 
To produce DME, the Company uses the advanced technique of catalytic dehydration of methanol. The material is run through an oil segregator into a methanol synthetic tower to be synthesized into crude methanol which then enters an ether tower together with hydrogen and nitrogen. The methanol is dehydrated into DME by combining pressure catalyzers and a mixture of methanol. DME is then cooled and put into a segregating machine and the separated gases are further refined. DME can achieve a purity level of 99.9%. DME can be a substitute of LPG. This technique involves a simpler process and consumes less energy, while producing a high quality product.

Application of DME
 
In addition to being widely adopted in the fine chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry and pesticide industry, DME can substitute for Freon as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant. DME also can be substituted for LPG as a non-industrial fuel, as well as a bio-diesel fuel for automotive vehicles (modified to accept bio-diesel). With a better combustion property, DME has greater heating efficiency producing safe and clean exhaust.
 
Below are some of the currently-known applications of DME:
 
·
An Additive for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) and Non-Industrial Fuel Substitute to LPG (for residential and automotive uses).
 
Like LPG, DME can be stored as a gas state after being compressed. However, compared to LPG, DME has a stronger combustion performance and greater heating efficiency. Furthermore, DME is safer than LPG with regard to transportation, storage and use. DME has a higher evaporation rate and when used as an automobile fuel, it increases the power of engines by approximately 10% to 15%. In addition, when used as a fuel for automobiles DME increases combustion efficiency by approximately 2% to 3%. Automobiles that have been modified to use DME as a fuel typically exhibit a reduction in combustion noise by 5-10 decibels. As a result of the higher evaporation power rate, pollutant emissions including nitric oxide and carbon monoxide are quite low, thereby satisfying modern emission standards, including European directives 94/12/ec and 96/69/ec as established by the European Economy Committee (“Europe III”).
 
·
Environmental Friendly Refrigerant for Refrigerators and Air Conditioners
 
DME can be used as a substitute for Freon as the refrigerant used in refrigerators and in air conditioners. Unlike Freon, DME does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Other benefits of using DME include its low boiling point, stronger vaporizing effects and its lower prices as compared with Freon.
 
·
Pesticide, Cosmetics and Everyday Chemical Products
 
As an aerosol product, DME has been widely adopted in the production of pesticides, cosmetics, and everyday chemical products (e.g. detergent, hair gel).

·
Chemical Feedstock
 
DME has been widely adopted in the chemical industry as an alkylation agent and a coupling agent. DME is the chemical feedstock for the production of acetic acid, acetate and hydrocyanic acid.

Products Under Development
 
Product development is a core element of the Company’s historical as well as its current growth strategy in each of its existing business segments. The Company’s research and development activities currently consist principally of:
 
·
developing new agricultural products which may be based upon refinements to our existing products;
 
·
developing new fuel alternatives similar to DME; and
 
·
pursuing new technology in the area of ammonia synthesis which would reduce the energy consumed in the production process and enables the use of recycled water.

The scientific process of developing new products is complex, costly and time-consuming. There can be no assurance that any commercially feasible products will be developed despite the amount of time and money spent on research and development. The development of products may be curtailed at any stage of development as a response to the introduction of competing products by our competitors, changes in existing laws or regulations or for other reasons which we cannot currently foresee.

All purchasing orders on our products are served on a first-come, first-served basis.

According to a report in China Petro-Chemical Journal, dated February 15, 2006, the agricultural sector in China makes extensive use of chemical fertilizers, consisting of approximately 1/3 of the world’s total consumption. Of this amount, about 70% is nitrogenous fertilizers. According to China Statistics Almanac, dated December 31, 2004, the national total output of nitrogenous fertilizers (including urea, bicarbonate ammonia, etc.) was 42,222,000 metric tons (based on percentage of nitrogen), a 14.6% increase over the total output in 2003. Since 2004, the growth rate is over 10%.
 
Methanol is a major raw material chemical next to ethylene, propylene and benzene. According to China Nitrogenous Fertilizers Association in 2006, domestic capacity in the PRC reached 13,648,000 tons/year with 219 producers. Nationwide production in 2006 was 8,860,000 tons with a growth rate of 35.9% as compared to 2005. During the most recent fiscal year, domestic methanol prices reached a 10-year record high, driven by a markup in the international market.

Competition
 
In general, the chemical fertilizer industry in China is highly competitive. While China is the world’s largest consumer of fertilizers, its chemical fertilizer industry is highly fragmented with many small regional factories serving local requirements. Most fertilizer producers in China do not have the national brand name recognition the Company has as a basis for promoting their products. We expect existing and new competitors will continue to introduce products that are directly or indirectly competitive with our products. Such competitors may be more successful in marketing such products. However, the Company has not had any quality issues to date. The brand “Jinding” enjoys a strong reputation and credibility in China.
 
·
Urea industry
 
According to China Nitrogenous Fertilizer Association, in 2007, there were over 20 companies in China producing urea with an aggregate gross output of approximately 24.85 million tons per annum with growth rate of 11.5% compared to 2006. The Company’s main competitors are Henan Zhongyuan Dahua Group, Junma Group, Xinlianxin Corp., Shandong Luxi Group, Anhui Linquan Group and Woyang Chemical Corp.

·
Methanol industry
 
According to China Nitrogenous Fertilizer Association, in 2007, the output of methanol was 10.76 million tons per year in China with growth rate of 41.9% compared to 2006. There are currently over 20 methanol factories located in Henan Province with an aggregate gross output of 1.3 million tons. The Company’s main competitors are the Junma Group and the Lantian Group.
 
·
DME industry
 
China currently has 21 factories that currently produce DME (with capacity over 10,000 tons/year) and the aggregate annual gross output for these factories reaches 1 million tons. The Company is the biggest company in China’s Henan Province that can produce an annual output of approximately 150,000 tons of DME. The Company’s main domestic competitors are the Sandong Juitai Company and the Sichuan Lutianhua Chemical Company.
  
·
Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate industry
 
The Company currently has the capacity to produce 60,000 tons of ammonium bicarbonate per year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the Company produced 36,561 tons of ammonium bicarbonate, which was a part of the Fertilizer production. The sale of ammonium bicarbonate represented 3.4% of the Company’s revenue for fiscal year 2008 and 4.4% for fiscal year 2009, and 8.7% for fiscal year 2010. The Company’s major customers are all within the PRC. The Company’s main competitors are the Asia New Energy Holding Limited (Former Shiji Jinyuan Group) and Zhu Ma Dian Jun Ma Group.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have registered the trademark for the “Jinding” logo with the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China (Registration Number: 3861603), which is used on all of our products distributed in China. The trademark expires in 2016.
 
We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and formulas. We currently do not own any patents and have not applied for patents on our proprietary technology and formulas because a patent application requires a detailed description of our technology and formulas which will be made available to the general public. We believe a patent application and disclosure of our technology formulas would be detrimental to our future business. If knowledge of our formulas and processes are not tightly controlled, more competitors would likely emerge in this market. Only certain of our key executives have knowledge of our proprietary technology and formulas.
 
Pricing
 
The Company’s pricing is a combination of Chinese pricing regulation and market demand. The Ministry of Administration and Commerce and the Price Regulation Bureau monitor and control the price of the chemical fertilizer products in the market place.
 
The Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
The Company’s Methanol and DME projects have been tested for its environmental effect and the results are very positive. These projects had obtained licenses from the Henan province regarding waste water and exhaust gas production. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred costs of $1,000,000 (RMB 7 million) in complying with China’s environmental laws, and the compliance costs incurred by the Company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were approximately $134,241 (RMB 0.9 million). At this time, the Company’s entire project regarding waste water and exhaust gas production has been fully completed. In October 2006, the Company was certified by International Environmental Management System ISO-1400 standard.
     
Employees
    
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has approximately 1,200 full-time employees, 127 of the employees are part of the Company’s management, and 20 of whom are directly involved in the research and development department. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe we have good relations with our employees.

Chinese Government Regulation
 
The Chinese government maintains a tight control over the production and sale of dangerous chemical products. The Company must comply with the following Chinese environmental laws and regulations in connection with the production of our products:
 
  
1.
PRC Environment Protection Law, issued and executed on December 26, 1989 and passed in the Eleventh meeting of the Seventh National People’s Congress.
 
  
2.
The Prevention and Cure Temporary Ordinance on Huaihe Basin Water Pollution Control, issued and executed on August 8, 1995.
 
 
3.
The Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants for Ammonia Industry GB13458-92.
 
In September 2005, Jinding obtained an industrial usage methanol production license (license number XK13-222-0047) from the Henan Safe Production Management Administration. The license expires on August 17, 2011, at which time, the Company will reapply for such license. The local enterprise of chemical fertilizer in China does not require the Company to apply for a production permit. Specifically, the production of urea and ammonium hydrogen carbonate does not require a production permit under Chinese Government Regulation.
 
The Company has also received a production license to produce liquefied anhydrous ammonia and methanol (license number XK13-220-00155) from the Henan Quality Control Administration. The license expires on August 17, 2011, at which time, the Company will reapply for such license.

Item 1A.                Risk Factors
 
The financial condition, business, operations, and prospects of the Company involve a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, which constitute the material risks relating to the Company, and the other information in this report. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company and you should pay particular attention to the fact that we conduct our operations in China and are governed by a legal and regulatory environment that in some respects differs significantly from the environment that may prevail in other countries. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our operations. If any of the following risks are realized, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of the Company’s stock could suffer. This means that investors and stockholders of the Company could lose all or a part of their investment.
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
 
We cannot assure you that our organic growth strategy will be successful.
 
One of our growth strategies is to grow organically through increasing the distribution and sales of our products by increasing our market share and entering new markets in the PRC. However, many obstacles to increasing our market share and entering such new markets exist, including, but not limited to, costs associated with increasing market share and entering into such markets and attendant marketing efforts. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our products in any additional markets. Our inability to implement this organic growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact on our ability to grow and on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
12

 
If we are not able to implement our strategies in achieving our business objectives, our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.
 
Our business plan is based on circumstances currently prevailing and the bases and assumptions that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our strategies or that our strategies, even if implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of our objectives. If we are not able to successfully implement our strategies, our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.
 
If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.
 
As we implement our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and we may not have enough capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
 
If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to:
 
·
reduce our investments in research and development;

·
limit our marketing efforts; and

·
decrease or eliminate capital expenditures.
 
Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
 
We may have difficulty defending our intellectual property rights from infringement.
 
We regard our service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark, patent and trade secret law, as well as confidentiality and license agreements to protect our proprietary rights. Our brand name “Jinding” has received trademark protection in the PRC. No assurance can be given that such trademark and licenses will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantage to us.
 
Presently we sell our products mainly in China. China will remain our primary market for the foreseeable future. To date, no trademark filings have been made other than in China. Therefore, the measures we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate and we cannot give you any assurance that our competitors will not independently develop formulations and processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to our own or copy our products.
 
A disproportionate amount of our sales revenue is derived from the sale of urea and a disruption in, or compromise of, our sales operations, or distribution channels, related to the sale of urea could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Company’s sale of urea constituted more than approximately 68.11% and 65.65% of its total sales in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A disruption in, or compromise of, our manufacturing or sales operations, or distribution channels, relating to the sale of urea could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
13

 
We have no firm long-term commitments from our suppliers to supply raw materials to us for any specific period, or in any specific quantity, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order.
 
If our suppliers experience delays, disruptions, capacity constraints or quality control problems in their operations or become insolvent, their product shipments to us could be delayed, which would decrease our production and harm our revenues, competitive position and reputation.
 
Further, our business would be harmed if we fail to effectively manage the production of our products. Because we establish our minimum inventory threshold based on our forecasts of expected demand for our products, if we inaccurately forecast demand, we may be unable to obtain adequate quantities of raw materials to meet our production requirements.
 
We purchase some key raw materials used in the manufacture of our products from our source suppliers, and we may not be able to obtain supplies from replacement suppliers on a timely or cost-effective basis. A reduction or stoppage in supply while we seek a replacement supplier would limit our ability to manufacture our products, which could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability. In addition, an impurity or variation in a raw material either unknown to us or incompatible with our products, could significantly reduce our ability to manufacture products. Our inventories may not be adequate to meet our production needs during any prolonged interruption of supply. We have products under development which, if developed, may require us to enter into additional supplier arrangements. Failure to obtain a supplier for our future products, if any, on commercially reasonable terms, would prevent us from manufacturing our future products and limit our growth.
 
Intense competition from existing chemical companies and new entities may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
 
We compete with other companies, many of whom are developing or can be expected to develop products similar to ours. Our market is a large market with many competitors. Our major competitors are the Junma Group and the Luxi Group. Many of our competitors are more established than we are, and have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we presently possess. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and a larger customer base. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Our competitors can be expected to continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products, which could cause a decline in market acceptance of our chemical products. Current and future consolidation among our competitors and customers may also cause a loss of market share as well as put downward pressure on pricing. Our competitors could cause a reduction in the prices for some of our chemical products as a result of intensified price competition. Competitive pressures can also result in the loss of major customers. We intend to create greater brand awareness for our brand name so that we can successfully compete with our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business.
 
We face competition from other chemical companies, which could force us to lower our prices thereby adversely affecting our operating margins, financial condition, cash flows and profitability.
 
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and this competition could harm our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. Our competitors include major international producers as well as smaller regional competitors. We believe that a significant competitive factor for our products is selling price. We could be subject to adverse results caused by our competitors’ pricing decisions. In addition, current and anticipated future consolidation among our competitors and customers may cause us to lose market share as well as put downward pressure on pricing. Some of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources. As a result, those competitors may be better able to withstand a change in conditions within our industry and throughout the economy as a whole. If we do not compete successfully, our business, operating margins, financial condition, cash flows and profitability could be adversely affected.
 
The products and the processes we use could expose us to substantial liability.
 
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our technologies or products is alleged to have resulted in adverse side effects. Side effects or marketing or manufacturing problems pertaining to any of our products could result in product liability claims or adverse publicity. To date, we have not experienced any product liability claims. However, that does not mean that we will not have any problems with respect to our products in the future. We do not currently carry product liability insurance. The lack of product liability insurance may expose us to enormous risks associated with potential product liability claims. We currently carry insurance policies which are customary for enterprises in China providing for property coverage of $12,814,312, transport vehicles of $237,159, and workers’ medical and accident coverage of $101,230. There are no special restrictions or exceptions attached to this coverage other than fraudulent or criminal conducts on part of the claimant.
 
14

 
We have limited business insurance coverage.
 
The insurance industry in the PRC is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in the PRC offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
 
We depend on key personnel for the success of our business. Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives and employees or fail to add new senior and middle managers to our management.
 
We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, Messrs. Zhou Dianchang, Wang Gui Quan, Li Dong Lai, Wu Peng and Wang Xiang Fu. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. Our future success is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified senior and middle managers to our management team. If one or more of our current or future key executives and employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them, and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we could lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel. We do not maintain key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.
 
Our results of operations may be materially harmed if we are unable to recoup our investment in research and development.
 
The rapid change in technology in our industry requires that we continue to make investments in research and development in order to not only develop technologies, but we must also enhance the performance and functionality of our products and keep pace with competitive products and satisfy customer demands for improved performance, features, functionality and costs. There can be no assurance that revenues from future products or product enhancements will be sufficient to recover the development costs associated with such products or enhancements or that we will be able to secure the financial resources necessary to fund future development. Research and development costs typically are incurred before we confirm the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a product, and not all development activities result in commercially viable products. In addition, we cannot ensure that these products or enhancements will receive market acceptance or that we will be able to sell these products at prices that are favorable to us. Our business could be seriously harmed if we are unable to sell our products at favorable prices or if the market in which we operate does not accept our products.
 
Failure to develop new chemical products and/or improve our existing products will make us less competitive.
 
Our results of operations depend, in part, on our ability to expand our chemical product offerings. We are committed to remaining a competitive producer and believe that our portfolio of new or re-engineered products is strong. However, we may not be able to continue to develop new products, re-engineer our existing products successfully or bring them to market in a timely manner. While we believe that the products, pricing and services we offer customers are competitive, we may not be able to continue to attract and retain customers to which to sell our chemical products.
 
Changes in our customers’ products could reduce the demand for our chemical products, which may decrease our net sales and operating margins.
 
Our chemical products are used for a broad range of applications by our customers. Changes, including technological changes, in our customers’ products or processes may make our chemical products unnecessary, which would reduce the demand for those products. Other customers may find alternative materials or processes that no longer require our products. If the demand for our chemical products is reduced, our net sales and operating margins may be reduced as well.
 
15

 
Our projects involve long development cycles that result in high costs and uncertainty.
 
The development, operation and management of our products and facilities involve a long development cycle and decision-making process. Delays in the parties’ decision-making process are outside of our control and may have a negative impact on our development costs, cost of sales, receipt of revenue and sales projections. We expect that, in some cases, it may take a year or more to obtain decisions and to negotiate and close the agreements. Such delays could harm our operating results and financial condition.
 
We are a small company, and the entrance of large companies into the alternative fuels, renewable energy and chemical fertilizer business will likely harm our business.
 
Competition in the alternative fuels, renewable energy and chemical fertilizer business is expanding with the growth of the industry and the advent of many new technologies. Larger companies, due to their better capitalization, will be better positioned to develop new technologies and to install existing or more advanced renewable energy generators, which could harm our market share and business.
 
Because the market for renewable energy is unproven, it is possible that we may expend large sums of money to bring our offerings to market and the revenue that we derive may be insufficient to fund our operations.
 
Our business approach to the renewable energy industry may not produce results as anticipated, be profitable or be readily accepted by the marketplace. We cannot estimate whether demand for facilities based on our technology, or the gas produced by such facilities, will materialize at anticipated prices, or whether satisfactory profit margins will be achieved. If such pricing levels are not achieved or sustained, or if our technologies and business approach to our markets do not achieve or sustain broad acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and negatively impacted.
 
We depend on only one factory to manufacture our products and any disruption of the operations in this factory would damage our business.
 
All of our products are manufactured in the Company’s one factory in Xicheng Industrial Zone, Luoshan, Henan, PRC which we depend on to produce the products that we sell. Our operations could be interrupted by fire, flood, earthquake and other events beyond our control. Any disruption of the operations in this factory would have a significant negative impact on our ability to deliver products, which would cause a potential diminution on sales, the cancellation of orders, damage to our reputation and potential lawsuits.
 
Our revenues from chemical products depend heavily on government policies. If the government changes its policies, our revenues and profit from our chemical products could decrease significantly.
 
To boost the income of millions of Chinese farmers and enhance China’s national security, the Chinese government has instituted policies that encourage farmers in China to increase their production of grains by limiting the price of ammonium fertilizers while at the same time providing the fertilizer industry some relief, including capping the price of raw materials, providing for preferential pricing for electricity and exempting value added tax. Due to the policies, our chemical business is able to realize a profitable margin. However, the Chinese government changes its policies from time to time. If the Chinese government changes the policies currently in place that compensate our loss due to the price control, our revenues and profit from our chemical business could suffer.
 
Our chemical manufacturing business is highly risky and hazardous. We may face environmental and safety problems.
 
Our chemical manufacturing process produces exhaust gas and waste water which may pollute the environment. If an accident occurs in our chemical plant, toxic gas and other pollutants could leak and cause serious pollution problems. Moreover, most of our chemical products are flammable, explosive, and dangerous and pose a threat to the health and safety of our employees and residents around our facility, and if any accident occurs during manufacturing or in transportation, there could be dire consequences.
 
The cost of our raw materials fluctuates significantly, which may adversely impact our profit margin and financial position
 
Our chemical business uses coal as raw material. In the last two years, coal prices have fluctuated substantially. Although the price for coal dropped last year, it may go up again in the future due to the rapid development of the Chinese economy and the resulting huge demand for energy. If the price for coal increases again, our profit margin could decrease considerably.
 
16

 
Our failure to comply with ongoing governmental regulations could hurt our operations and reduce our market share.
 
In China, the chemical industry is undergoing increasing regulations as environmental awareness increases in China. The trend is that the Chinese government toughens its regulations and penalties for violations of environmental regulations. New regulatory actions are constantly changing our industry. Although we believe we have complied with applicable government regulations, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.
 
Our financial results may be affected by mandated changes in accounting and financial reporting.
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies may have a significant effect on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions.
 
Our auditors have added an emphasis paragraph that the Company is a “Going Concern” in the audit opinion.
 
The Company received a report from its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended March 31, 2010, containing an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company's net loss for the year and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
RISKS RELATING TO THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
 
Certain political and economic considerations relating to PRC could adversely affect our Company.
 
The PRC is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved.
 
Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.
 
The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to us create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.
 
The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.
 
17

 
Currency conversion and exchange rate volatility could adversely affect our financial condition.
 
The PRC government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People’s Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market conditions.
 
Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs, for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current account items.
 
Enterprises in the PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by providing valid receipts and proofs.
 
Convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions, and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be sought.
 
Since 1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollars has remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately RMB8.28 to US$1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar. As our operations are primarily in China, any significant revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert United States dollars into Chinese Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of this currency against the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert Chinese Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes and the United States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar equivalent of the Chinese Renminbi we convert would be reduced.
 
It may be difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our company and our officers and directors because they reside outside the United States.
 
As our operations are presently based in China and our officers and certain of our directors reside in China, service of process on our company and our officers and certain directors may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, our main assets are located in China and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
 
Any future outbreak of avian influenza, or the Asian Bird Flu, or any other epidemic in China could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Since mid-December 2003, a growing number of Asian countries have reported outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in chickens and ducks. Since all of our operations are in China, an outbreak of the Asian Bird Flu in China in the future may disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, a new outbreak of Asian Bird Flu, or any other epidemic, may reduce the level of economic activity in affected areas, which may lead to a reduction in our revenue if our clients cancel existing contracts or defer future expenditures. In addition, health or other government regulations may require temporary closure of our offices, or the offices of our customers or partners, which will severely disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
18

 
Our business may be affected by unexpected changes in regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
 
We are subject to many general regulations governing business entities and their behavior in China and in other jurisdictions in which we have operations. In particular, we are subject to laws and regulations covering food, health supplements and pharmaceutical products. Such regulations typically deal with licensing, approvals and permits. Any change in product licensing may make our products more or less available on the market. Such changes may have a positive or negative impact on the sale of our products and may directly impact the associated costs in compliance and our operational and financial viability. Such regulatory environment also covers any existing or potential trade barriers in the form of import tariff and taxes that may make it difficult for us to import our products to certain countries and regions, which would limit any potential expansion.
 
We may have difficulty in attracting talent.
 
As we plan to expand, we will have to attract managerial staff. We may not be able to identify and retain qualified personnel due to our lack of understanding of different cultures and lack of local contacts. This may impede any potential expansion.
 
We may experience currency fluctuation and longer exchange rate payment cycles.
 
The local currencies in the countries in which we sell our products may fluctuate in value in relation to other currencies. Such fluctuations may affect the costs of our products sold and the value of our local currency profits. While we are not conducting any meaningful operations in countries other than China at the present time, we may expand to other countries and may then have an increased risk of exposure of our business to currency fluctuation.
 
All of our assets are located in China, any dividends of proceeds from liquidation is subject to the approval of the relevant Chinese government agencies.
 
Our assets are located inside China. Under the laws governing foreign invested enterprises in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to both the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment and liquidation.
 
Changes in China’s political or economic situation could harm us and our operational results
 
Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:
 
            ·           Level of government involvement in the economy;

            ·           Control of foreign exchange;

            ·           Methods of allocation resources;

            ·           Balance of payments position;

            ·           International trade restrictions; and

            ·           International conflict.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
 
China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.
 
19

 
Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.
 
Future inflation in China may inhibit our activity to conduct business in China.
 
In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%. These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. While inflation has been more moderate since 1995, high inflation may in the future cause Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China and thereby harm the market for our products.
 
The value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi.
 
The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the Renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, the business of the Company, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.
 
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
 
We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC, particularly in our industry since it deals with contracts from the Chinese Government, and our executive officers and employees have not been subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prior to the completion of the Exchange Agreement (defined herein). If our competitors engage in these practices they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. We can make no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
 
The market price for shares of our common stock could be volatile; the sale of material amounts of our common stock could reduce the price of our common stock and encourage short sales.
 
The market price for the shares of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Such factors may include, without limitation, the general economic and monetary environment, quarter-to-quarter variations in our anticipated and actual operating results, future financing activities and the open-market trading of our shares in particular.
 
Our common stock price is volatile and could decline in the future.
 
The stock market, in general, and the market price for shares of pharmaceutical companies in particular, have experienced extreme stock price fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and related industries have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside of our control, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following could have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:
 
20

 
 
·
the results of preclinical studies and clinical trials by us or by our competitors;
 
 
·
concern as to, or other evidence of, the safety or efficacy of our proposed products or our competitors’ products;
 
 
·
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
developments concerning our proprietary rights or our competitors’ rights (including litigation);
 
 
·
our ability to obtain additional financing and, if available, the terms and conditions of the financing;
 
 
·
our financial position and results of operations;
 
 
·
litigation;
 
 
·
period-to-period fluctuations in our operating results;
 
 
·
changes in estimates of our performance by any securities analysts;
 
 
·
new regulatory requirements and changes in the existing regulatory environment;
 
 
·
market conditions for life science stocks in general;
 
 
·
the issuance of new equity securities in a future offering;
 
 
·
changes in interest rates;
 
 
·
market conditions of securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market;
 
 
·
investor perceptions of us and the medical device industry generally; and
 
 
·
general economic and other national conditions.
 
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who is an affiliate of the Company and has satisfied a six-month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to this resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
One stockholder exercises significant control over matters requiring shareholder approval.
 
After giving effect to the issuance of all the shares of common stock, Auto Chance International Limited has voting power equal to approximately 53.19% of our voting securities. As a result, Auto Chance International Limited, through such stock ownership, exercises significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in Auto Chance International Limited may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us that may be otherwise viewed as beneficial by shareholders other than Auto Chance International Limited.
 
21

 
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
 
We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.
 
We may require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion in current and new markets, programming development and acquisition, capital costs and the costs of any necessary implementation of technological innovations or alternative technologies. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us.
 
We may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations as a result of market price volatility for our shares of common stock.
 
In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing and new technologies and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our technologies may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing through debt and equity or other means.
 
Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. The annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting by our management applies to our financial reporting for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The rules regarding the attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants will apply to our financial reporting for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards and will impose significant additional expenses on us. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

Item 1B.         Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 2.            Properties.

All land in China is owned by the State. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use land or land use rights for specific purposes. In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years. This period may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations.

Our office in Henan, China is located at Xicheng Industrial Zone, Luoshan, Xinyang, Henan, PRC. This office consists of approximately 342,142 square meters. The land use agreement has a 50-year term which expires on January 15, 2055.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred $3,455,870 in construction-in-progress costs, which are primarily attributable to the construction of the third phase of Methanol project (200,000 Tons/Year). All these development projects are on the Company’s Henan property.

On August 15, 2006, the Company put in use the 100,000 Ton/Year DME project. This is the 3rd DME project on top of its original 50,000 Ton/Year capacity. With total investment of RMB 80 million (approximately $10 million), this project will leverage advanced technique of a catalytic dehydration methanol process to produce DME.

The third phase of Methanol project with another 200,000 tons capacity was started in November 2007, and we expect it to be completed around the fourth quarter of calendar year 2010. The project will be entering the debugging stage at the third quarter of calendar year 2010 after the completion of the foundational construction; we expect to see the production be ramped up at the first quarter of calendar year 2011.

We believe that all our property and equipment have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

Item 3.             Legal Proceedings

On December 29, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Luoshan Agreement”) to purchase Luoshan Fertilizer Plant, a bankrupt company and to assume $1.3 million in debt owed by Xixian Fertilizer Plant (the principal shareholder of Luoshan Fertilizer Plant). Under the Luoshan Agreement, the Company was to receive reimbursements of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) from both the Luoshan county government and the Xi county government, which were to be received before December 29, 2007. Luoshan county government paid its note of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) to the Company on its due date.

In November 2007, the Company initiated a lawsuit in the Intermediate Court of Xinyang City (the “Intermediate Court”) against the Xi county government and Henan Shiji Jinyuan Chemicals Co., Ltd. (the “Shiji Jinyuan”, formerly Xixian Fertilizer Plant) for non-payment of the Xi county government note receivable of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) on its due date as set forth under the Luoshan Agreement, and sought the enforcement of the terms of the note receivable and the Luoshan Agreement for payment of the RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) by both the Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan. On June 12, 2009, the court entered judgment against Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan in amount of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) to be paid before June 22, 2009. In addition, the judgment ordered the Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan to pay the Company interest and late fee based on market rates. On December 16, 2009, Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan appealed to the Higher Court of Henan Province.(“Higher Court”). On April 13, 2010, the Higher Court entered final judgment to reject the appeal and sustain the original judgment. On June 17, 2010, the intermediate Court issued enforcement notice to Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan. The Xi County Government and Shiji Jinyuan did not pay the amount to the Company before June 21, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Company has a reserve against the RMB 5 million ($732,461) note of $732,461 due to the uncertainty of collection.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
On May 3, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (the “First Purchase Agreement”) and a Warrant Agreement, with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “First Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued 1,360,000 units (the “Units”) to the Investors, consisting of (i) one (1) share of our common stock, par value $0.001, and (ii) a Warrant to purchase one half (½) of one (1) share of common stock with an exercise price of Two Dollars ($2.00) per share (the “First Offering”). The purchase price for each Unit is $1.25 and the aggregate purchase price for the Units sold in the Offering was $1,700,000.

On May 25, 2010, the Company entered into a separate Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Additional Purchase Agreement,” and together with the First Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) and a Warrant Agreement with Joseph Zilfi, an accredited investor (the “Second Investor,” and together with the First Investors, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued 100,000 Units to the Second Investor, consisting of (i) one (1) share of our common stock, par value $0.001, and (ii) a Warrant to purchase one half (½) of one (1) share of common stock with an exercise price of Two Dollars ($2.00) per share (the “Second Offering,” and together with the First Offering, the “Offerings”).  The purchase price for each Unit is $1.25 and the aggregate purchase price for the Units sold in the Second Offering was $125,000.
 
The Warrants have a 2½ year term and will not be exercisable until 6 months following the issuance of the Warrants.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Company shall, on or prior to sixty (60) calendar days following the closing of each of the Offerings, use all reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of the Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants issued in connection with the applicable Offering.
 
The Company engaged Internet Securities, Inc. as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the Offerings.  The Company will pay the Placement Agent an amount equal 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offerings in cash and a 5 year warrant to purchase 10% of the Securities sold in the Offerings (the “Placement Agent Warrant”). The Placement Agent Warrant shall have the same terms as the Warrant, except that the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrant shall be $1.25.
 
The Company sold the Units in the Offerings in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act 1933.  When appropriate, we determined that the purchaser of securities described above was a sophisticated investor with the financial ability to assume the risk of its investment in our securities and acquired such securities for its own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. Where required by applicable law, the certificates evidencing the securities bear legends stating that the securities are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Item 7.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believes," "anticipates," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "continue," and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
 
Our Company engages in the business of manufacturing and selling urea, liquefied ammonium, methanol, ammonium bicarbonate, dimethyl ether (“DME”) products. The Company’s products are primarily marketed and sold in the PRC.
 
Our Company currently has the capacity to produce 150,000 tons of ammonia per year, 150,000 tons of DME per year, 150,000 tons of urea per year, 60,000 tons of ammonium bicarbonate per year and 100,000 tons of methanol per year. During the second quarter of fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we expanded the Company’s annual DME capacity to 150,000 ton per year. For the year end of March 31, 2010, the Company’s total revenues were $32,463,882.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect us and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords. From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our Company. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, growth of our business and operations, plans and references to future successes may be considered forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “budget,” “goal,” “expect,” “probably” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Many risks and uncertainties may impact the matters addressed in these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we will not update such forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.
 
Some of the key factors which could cause our future financial results and performance to vary from those expected include:
 
 
The loss of primary customers;
 
 
Ÿ
Our ability to implement productivity improvements, cost reduction initiatives or facilities expansions;
 
 
Ÿ
Market developments affecting, and other changes in, the demand for our products and the introduction of new competing products;
 
 
Ÿ
Availability or increases in the price of our primary raw materials or active ingredients;
 
 
Ÿ
The timing of planned capital expenditures;
 
 
Ÿ
Our ability to identify, develop or acquire, and market additional product lines and businesses necessary to implement our business strategy and our ability to finance such acquisitions and development;
 
26

 
 
The condition of the capital markets generally, which will be affected by interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and general economic conditions;
 
 
Ÿ
The ability to obtain registration and re-registration of our products under applicable law;
 
 
Ÿ
The political and economic climate in the foreign or domestic jurisdictions in which we conduct business; and
 
 
Ÿ
Other People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) or foreign regulatory or legislative developments which affect the demand for our products generally or increase the environmental compliance cost for our products or impose liabilities on the manufacturers and distributors of such products.
 
The information contained in this report, identifies additional factors that could cause our results or performance to differ materially from those we express in our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions and, therefore, the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to the customers. We generally recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Income taxes

Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the PRC.

Income tax expense is computed based on pre-tax income included in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred income taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if there is a strong likelihood the items will expire before its benefits are realized or if its future utilization is uncertain.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 presents a two-step process for evaluating a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizing that amount in the financial statements. At the date of adoption, and as of March 31, 2010, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in China. As of March 31, 2010 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by China tax authorities.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. Cost of raw materials is calculated using the weighted average method. Finished goods costs are determined using the weighted average method and comprise direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, the FASB approved ASC 805-20 (formerly FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies), which amends Statement 141(R) and eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies. Under ASC 805-20, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the acquirer applies the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and Interpretation 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss – and Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5,” to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements..

ASC 320-10 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2) amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. It did not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of ASC 320-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB also approved ASC 825-10 (formerly FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim period financial statements of publicly traded companies and in summarized financial information required by APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)), which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for all interim reporting periods after that. It’s not expected that this adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB updated guidance related to fair-value measurements to clarify the guidance related to measuring fair-value in inactive markets, to modify the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and to require public companies to disclose the fair values of financial instruments in interim periods. This updated guidance became effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations..

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events) which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

KNOWN TRENDS OR UNCERTAINTIES

The fertilizer production segment is the traditional business of the Company. The market for this segment is stable and rigid. China is one of the largest agricultural producing countries, so the demands for such products are strong. We believe the market demands for the alternative energy products segment, which includes Methanol and DME, will continually increase. We will focus our efforts on fertilizer production, but there will not be any significant expansion plan in the near future. We have put more effort in alternative energy production by building a new 200,000 tons/year methanol production line, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of calendar year 2011.

All the Company’s current products are manufactured using coal as the raw material. As the market price of feed coal has shown a significant increasing trend, production costs have increased as well. The selling prices of some of our fertilizer products have increased correspondingly. For example, the current market selling price for Urea is about 1,650 RMB/Ton. Recently, the National Development and Reform Committee of People’s Republic of China have announced to increase the price for refined oil and electricity. This might stimulate further growth in such a trend of increasing prices.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures are mainly related to the on-going project of 200,000 tons/year Methanol, which is expected to be completed around the first quarter of calendar year 2011. The funding for those projects mainly comes from bank debt.
 
OFF BALANCE-SHEET FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

REVENUE

The Company’s consolidated revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $32,463,882, which represented a decrease of 38.22% from the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the following factors:  (i) the decrease in the selling price and the sales volume of Urea as compared to the same period last year and (ii) the decrease in the selling price of DME resulted in a negative gross profit of DME. As a result of the decrease in the selling price of DME, the management ceased the production of DME temporarily. Based on the management's estimation, when the market price of DME increases to over RMB 3,150 per ton in China, the Company's DME will have positive gross profit. The Company plans to resume the production of DME in the near future and recover to the normal level within one year.

The sales of Urea decreased 35.89% to $22,111,977 for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $34,490,637 for the year ended March 31, 2009. This was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume and the selling price of Urea as compared to the same period of last year.

The revenue generated from Ammonium Bicarbonate decreased 24.24% to $2,815,418 for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $3,716,301 for the year ended March 31, 2009. This was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume and the selling price of Ammonium Bicarbonate as compared to the same period of last year.

The sales of Methanol increased 244.44% to $6,247,997 for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $1,813,959 for the year ended March 31, 2009. This increase was mainly due to the increase in sales volume of Methanol as compared to the same period of last year.

The revenue contribution from Liquefied Ammonia decreased 11.69% to $858,949 for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $972,655 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Liquefied Ammonia is an intermediate product created during the synthetic ammonia production process and can be sold directly as finished product. Normally, Liquefied Ammonia is converted to Urea which results in a higher return for the Company. Therefore, we only sell Liquefied Ammonia to external buyers when: i) the Urea production line was unable to fully convert the Liquefied Ammonia (such as failure of the production line); or ii) the selling price of Liquefied Ammonia is relatively high due to market conditions.

Sales of DME decreased to $0 for the year ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the selling price which resulted in a negative gross profit of DME. Therefore, the management ceased the production of DME temporarily. Based on the management's estimation, when the market price of DME increases to over RMB 3,150 per ton in China, the Company's DME will have positive gross profit. The Company plans to resume the production of DME in the near future and recover to the normal level within one year.

The sales of Ammonia Water increased 9.73% to $429,541 for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $391,440 for the year ended March 31, 2009. Ammonia Water is a by product created during the synthetic ammonia production process. During the year, we improved our technology and organized production more scientifically to enhance the recycle rate of Ammonia Water, which has resulted in higher output and sales of Ammonia Water. The increase of Ammonia Water output not only could increase income, but also could reduce environmental pollution.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, sales in Anhui Province increased by 138.47% as compared to the same period last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s reinforcement of its marketing strategy and expansion of the market share.

The sales for the year ended March 31, 2010 in other provinces decreased as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to the following factors:  (i) the decrease in the selling price and the sales volume of Urea as compared to the same period last year and (ii) the decrease in the selling price of DME resulted in a negative gross profit of DME. As a result of the decrease in the selling price of DME, the management ceased the production of DME temporarily. Based on the management's estimation, when the market price of DME increases to over RMB 3,150 per ton in China, the Company's DME will have positive gross profit. The Company plans to resume the production of DME in the near future and recover to the normal level within one year.

COST OF GOODS SOLD (COGS)

COGS for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $38,037,303 which is 117.17% of total revenues and represents a 29.61% decrease as compared to $54,038,734 and 102.84% of total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2009. This was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume of products as compared to the same period last year.

China has significant coal resources, and while the price of coal has been at elevated levels compared to historical norms, management believes that a consolidation is in order, which should reduce prices and benefit the Company going forward. Initially it was not feasible to include the sifted fine-coal derived from lump-coal directly in the chemical process, so it was utilized together with other fine-coal purchased from other suppliers only as a heating and burning resource due to fine-coal having a market price 25% less than lump-coal. With the launch of the “coal-stick” line last year, which utilized fine-coal in a new stick-shaped product, and the launch of differential-pressure dynamos in fiscal year 2009, our management team is confident that production costs will be reduced in the future.

COGS sold as a percentage of revenue may fluctuate in the future. This fluctuation may primarily be due to changes in the price of raw materials, which can have a significant impact on the COGS. The Company will adopt proper measures to reduce fluctuations in the COGS.

Gross profit is calculated by deducting from revenues the raw materials used to produce the finished products as well as charges for depreciation, employee welfare, repairs to machinery and equipment, all inventorial costs and all other costs incident to or necessary for the production of our products.

The Company’s gross profit decreased by $4,080,334, or 273.28%, to $(5,573,421) for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $(1,493,087) for the year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the selling price and the sales volume of products as compared to the same period last year.

General and administrative expenses

The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $3,007,330 for the year ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $381,215 or 14.52%, as compared to $2,626,115 for the year ended March 31, 2009.  The increase was mainly due to the increase in the provision for uncollectible notes receivable as compared to the same period last year.

Research and development

The Company incurred R&D expenses of $83,722 for the year ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $57,307, or 40.63%, compared to $141,029 for the year ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in consulting fees and evaluation fees of R&D project as compared to the same period last year.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was $1,963,012, which represents a 79.15% increase from $1,095,716 for the prior fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the growing demand for financing; therefore the cost of financing increased correspondingly.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS
 
Government grants represent grants received from the PRC Government to assist the Company’s environment protection. This amount is recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible.

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, grants amounting to $1,903 and $1,437,748 were received from Henan provincial bureau of finance, respectively. This grant money is used to support the Company’s environmental protection program. This subsidy is allocated according to the progress of the project.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES), NET

Other income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were $13,677, which represents a 113.93% increase from $(98,206) for the year ended March 31, 2009.

INCOME TAX
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “new CIT Law”), which is effective as of January 1, 2008. The new CIT rate applicable to the Company starting January 1, 2008 is 25%, replacing the previous tax rate of 33%.

The Company’s income tax (expense) benefit differs from the “expected” tax expense (computed by applying the CIT rate of 25% percent to income before income taxes) as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Computed “expected” benefit (expense)

    (3,651,307 )     -  
Income tax (expense) benefit
  $ (846,280 )   $ 1,434,994  

The Company incurred income tax expense of $846,280 for the year ended March 31, 2010; a decrease of $2,281,274, or 158.97%, as compared to income tax benefit of $1,434,994 for the year ended March 31, 2009. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in the reserve against the net operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax assets.

NET INCOME (LOSS)
 
The Company’s net income of $(12,800,854) for the year ended March 31, 2010 represented a decrease of $9,071,847, or 243.28%, as compared to $(3,729,007) for the year ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the selling price and the sales volume of products as compared to the same period last year.
 
RESULTS BY SEGMENT

The Company has determined that there are two reportable segments:

The fertilizer segment is made up of four business units, which involve the manufacture and sale of Urea, Ammonium Bicarbonate, Liquefied Ammonia and Ammonia Water.

The fuel segment involves the manufacture and sale of Methanol, Dimethyl Ether (“DME”).

Fuel Segment

Gross (loss) profit %
    -       (2.80 )%

Sales of DME decreased to $0 for the year ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the selling price of DME resulting in a negative gross profit of DME. Therefore, the management ceased the production of DME temporarily. Based on the management's estimation, when the market price of DME increases to over RMB 3,150 per ton in China, the Company's DME will have positive gross profit. The Company plans to resume the production of DME in the near future and recover to the normal level within one year.

Gross (loss) profit
  $ (163,519 )   $ (257,677 )

Gross (loss) profit as a percentage of revenues increased 7.45% to (19.04)% for the year ended March 31,2010 as compared to (26.49)% for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Liquefied Ammonia is an intermediate product created during the synthetic ammonia production process and can be sold directly as finished product. Normally, Liquefied Ammonia is converted to Urea which results in a higher return for the Company. Therefore, we only sell Liquefied Ammonia to external buyers when: i) the Urea production line was unable to fully convert the Liquefied Ammonia (such as failure of the production line); or ii) the selling price of Liquefied Ammonia is relatively high due to market conditions.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules, regulations and related forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
 
37

 
Based upon its evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making its assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on these criteria, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2010.

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. Beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require us to provide with our annual report on Form 10-K an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $12,800,854 and has negative cash flows from operations of $7,511,738 for the year ended March 31, 2010 and has a working capital deficit of $44,151,502 at March 31, 2010.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NEW ORIENTAL ENERGY & CHEMICAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009

1.
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 2004. The principal activities of New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. and subsidiaries (“NOEC” or the “Company”) are the manufacture and distribution of fertilizer and chemical products. The products are distributed to markets in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

2.
GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $12,800,854 and has negative cash flows from operations of $7,511,738 for the year ended March 31, 2010, and has a working capital deficit of $44,151,502 at March 31, 2010.

The Company will need to obtain additional financing to continue operations beyond 2011. Its primary source of capital is cash generated from operations as well as through loans. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it will not be able to sustain its operations and would likely be required to cease its operations.

The major shareholder has committed to provide financial assistance of RMB 30 to 50 million (approximately $4.4 to $7.3 million) over the next few years, if necessary.

On April 15, 2010, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan for RMB 30 million (approximately $4.39 million) with an interest rate of 5.31% per annum from Guangdong Development Bank, which is due on April 15, 2011.

On April 30, 2010, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan for RMB 10 million (approximately $1.46 million) with an interest rate of 10.08% per annum from Xinyang Commercial Bank, which is due on November 30, 2010.

On May 3, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) and a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued One Million Three Hundred Sixty Thousand (1,360,000) units (the “Units”) to the Investors, consisting of (i) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) a Warrant to purchase one half (½) of one (1) share of Common Stock with an exercise price of Two Dollars ($2.00) per share (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each Unit is One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents ($1.25) and the aggregate purchase price for the Units sold in the Offering was One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000).  Also see Note 18.

The sole market of the Company is the PRC for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

(c)
Economic and Political Risks

The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(d)
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(e)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
 
These tiers include:

•Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

•Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
•Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represent time deposits on account to secure short-term debt. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity. See Note 11. These balances are subject to withdrawal restrictions and totaled $3,662,306 and $4,388,596 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities, such as notes receivable, due from employees, due from a related party, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term debt, customer deposits, due to employees, payable to contractors, due to related parties, taxes payable and long-term bank loan, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

(g)
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market). The cost of raw materials is determined on a weighted average basis. Finished goods costs are determined on a weighted average basis and comprise direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal.

(h)
Prepayments for Goods

Prepayments for goods represent cash paid in advance to suppliers for purchases of raw materials.

(i)
Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of amounts paid to the Company in advance for the sale of products in the PRC. The Company receives these amounts and recognizes them as a current liability until the revenue can be recognized when the goods are delivered.

(j)
Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(k)
Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and prepayments. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(l)
Capitalized Interest

The interest cost associated with debt relating to construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project using weighted-average cost of the Company’s outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period. Capitalized interest for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $671,160 and $386,464, respectively.

(m)
Land Use Rights

According to the laws of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.

(n)
Impairment of Long-Term Assets

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company also periodically evaluates the amortization periods of its depreciable assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful lives. There was no impairment for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

(o)
Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

-Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
-Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
-The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
-Collectability is reasonably assured.

(p)
Government Grants

Government grants represented grants received from the PRC Government for assisting the Company’s environment protection. The amount is recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible. During 2010 and 2009, respectively $1,903 and $1,437,748 were received from the PRC Government for assisting the Company’s environment protection procedures.

(q)
Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred. Retirement benefits amounting to $199,302 and $169,803 were charged to operations for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(r)
Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

(s)
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method. Deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future utilization is uncertain.

(t)
Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to recognize under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current components of comprehensive income are the foreign currency translation adjustment and the unrealized gain on marketable securities.

(u)
Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

(v)
Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company has determined that there are two reportable segments:

The fertilizer segment is made up of four business units, which involve the manufacture and sale of Urea, Carbonate Hydrogen Ammonia, Liquefied Ammonia and Ammonia Water.

The fuel segment involves the manufacture and sale of Methanol, Dimethyl Ether. The Company believes it is not feasible to separately identify the assets and operating expenses of each segment because of the similarities shared by each in the manufacturing process. Both segments share the same coal-to-gas primary system, and also share the same manufacturing sub-systems and cycles. Therefore, the following represents the revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit by each product within each segment:

New Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, the FASB approved ASC 805-20 (formerly FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends Statement 141(R) and eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies. Under ASC 805-20, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the acquirer applies the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and Interpretation 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss – and Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5,” to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements..

ASC 320-10 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2) amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. It did not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of ASC 320-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB also approved ASC 825-10 (formerly FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim period financial statements of publicly traded companies and in summarized financial information required by APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)), which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for all interim reporting periods after that. It’s not expected that this adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB updated guidance related to fair-value measurements to clarify the guidance related to measuring fair-value in inactive markets, to modify the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and to require public companies to disclose the fair values of financial instruments in interim periods. This updated guidance became effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations..

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10 (formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. ASC 740-10 presents a two-step process for evaluating a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizing that amount in the financial statements. At the date of adoption, and as of March 31, 2010, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. There was no effect on financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing ASC 740-10.

The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. federal income tax for the year ended March 31, 2010 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States. Net operating loss carry forward in the United States as of March 31, 2010 was $433,658 and it will begin to expire in 2011 and will end in 2016.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal or State income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in the PRC. As of March 31, 2010 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by tax authorities in the PRC.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On October 11, 2006, a share exchange agreement was reached between the Company, Kinfair Holding Limited (“KHL”) and KHL’s shareholders. The Company issued 7,500,000 shares representing 59.34% of total common stock in exchange of 100% of KHL common stock at the completion of the transaction. Henan Jinding Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Jinding”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of KHL. Jinding is the principal operating subsidiary of KHL.
 
In 2010 and 2009, the subsidiaries of the Company in China did not transfer any earnings to the surplus reserve fund due to net operating loss. Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Companies Law, the surplus reserve fund may be distributed to shareholders in the form of share bonus issues and/or cash dividends. The Company’s retained earnings in the amount of $0 and $950,327 is restricted as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES

On December 29, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Luoshan Agreement”) to purchase Luoshan Fertilizer Plant, a bankrupt company and to assume $1.3 million in debt owed by Xixian Fertilizer Plant (the principal shareholder of Luoshan Fertilizer Plant). Under the Luoshan Agreement, the Company was to receive reimbursements of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) from both the Luoshan county government and the Xi county government, which were to be received before December 29, 2007. Luoshan county government paid its note of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) to the Company on its due date.

In November 2007, the Company initiated a lawsuit in the Intermediate Court of Xinyang City (the “Intermediate Court”) against the Xi county government and Henan Shiji Jinyuan Chemicals Co., Ltd. (the “Shiji Jinyuan”, formerly Xixian Fertilizer Plant) for non-payment of the Xi county government note receivable of RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) on its due date as set forth under the Luoshan Agreement, and sought the enforcement of the terms of the note receivable and the Luoshan Agreement for payment of the RMB 5 million (approximately $650,000) by both the Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan. On June 12, 2009, the court entered judgment against Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan in amount of RMB 5 million

(approximately $650,000) to be paid before June 22, 2009. In addition, the judgment ordered the Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan to pay the Company interest and late fee based on market rates. On December 16, 2009, Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan appealed to the Higher Court of Henan Province.(“Higher Court”). On April 13, 2010, the Higher Court entered final judgment to reject the appeal and sustain the original judgment. On June 17, 2010, the intermediate Court issued enforcement notice to Xi county government and Shiji Jinyuan. The Xi County Government and Shiji Jinyuan did not pay the amount to the Company before June 21, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Company has a reserve against the RMB 5 million ($732,461) note of $732,461 due to the uncertainty of collection.

CAPITAL COMMITMENT

As of March 31, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement and made a down payment of $25.1 million toward the purchase of production equipment to be used in the Methanol project. The Company is required to pay the remainder of the purchase price of approximately $7.82 million prior to delivery of the equipment, which is estimated to occur in 2010. The amount paid is recorded in construction in progress. Through March 31, 2010, the Company used its working capital and borrowed money from its shareholders to fund the project. The Company originally planned on completing the project by December 2009, however, financing needs have delayed the estimated completion date of the project until September 2010.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 15, 2010, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan for RMB 30 million (approximately $4.39 million) with an interest rate of 5.31% per annum from Guangdong Development Bank, which is due on April 15, 2011.

On April 30, 2010, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan for RMB 10 million (approximately $1.46 million) with an interest rate of 10.08% per annum from Xinyang Commercial Bank, which is due on November 30, 2010.

On May 3, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) and a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued One Million Three Hundred Sixty Thousand (1,360,000) units (the “Units”) to the Investors, consisting of (i) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) a Warrant to purchase one half (½) of one (1) share of Common Stock with an exercise price of Two Dollars ($2.00) per share (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each Unit is One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents ($1.25) and the aggregate purchase price for the Units sold in the Offering was One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000).

The Company engaged Internet Securities, Inc. as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the Offering. The Company will pay the Placement Agent an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering in cash and a five (5) year warrant to purchase ten percent (10%) of the Securities sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrant”). The Placement Agent Warrant shall have the same terms as the Warrant, except that the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrant shall be One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25).

The warrants vest only at the date on which financing is closed. The financing was not closed, and the Company has raised $1.82 million from the Offering as of June 21, 2010.  Once the financing is closed the Company will value the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The Company is currently evaluating whether the warrants should be accounted for as derivatives since the Company’s functional currency is the RMB, which is different from the currency of the warrants.
