Overview

We are engaged in the development of natural gas distribution systems and the distribution of natural gas to residential and industrial customers in small- and medium-sized cities in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), through our indirectly owned subsidiaries in the PRC, Beijing Zhong Ran Wei Ye Gas Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Gas”) and its subsidiaries.

We currently own and operate 39 natural gas distribution systems serving approximately 145,000 residential and 7 industrial customers. Our facilities include approximately 1,040 kilometers (“km”) of pipeline and delivery networks with a daily distribution of approximately 110,000 cubic meters of natural gas. We have two types of customers: (i) residential and (ii) industrial. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, selected operating data:

	At and for the year ended December 31
	2009		2008
Total gas distributed and supplied (US$ millions)		15.7		12.2
Distribution network (km)		1,040		710
Number of industrial customers		7		5
Number of residential customers		145,000		110,900

We own and operate natural gas distribution systems in small and medium sized cities in Hebei, Jiangsu, Jilin and Anhui Provinces in addition to natural gas distribution systems in the suburbs of Beijing. Beijing is not a province but a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of China’s State Council and has many urban districts in the suburbs.

We generate revenues in two ways: (i) connection fees for the interconnections to our natural gas distribution system and (ii) the sale of natural gas. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the revenues generated from each of our major categories of operations:

	At and for the year ended December 31
		2009			2008
		(in US$ millions)			(in US$ millions)

Connection fees (as % of total Sales)		11.9	(43	)%	9.3	(43	)%
Gas sales		15.7	(57	)%	12.2	(57	)%
Other sales		—			—

Our cost of sales consists of cost of gas sales and cost of connection. Cost of gas sales consists of cost of natural gas purchased from the suppliers, transportation cost, depreciation of plant and equipment, and amortization of the capitalized construction costs as our expenditures in constructing our pipeline infrastructure are generally capitalized as fixed assets and amortized over a period of time. Cost of connection includes certain construction costs that are expensed. The following table presents Beijing Gas’s costs of sales for the periods indicated:

	For the year ended Dec 31
(US$ millions)	2009		2008
Gas costs		14.8		11.1
Connection costs		3.3		2.9

We buy natural gas for distribution in two forms: (i) compressed natural gas (“CNG”); and (ii) liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). Both CNG and LNG are natural gas that has been compressed into canisters so as to enable transportation, usually by truck, to the point of distribution or consumption. Typically CNG is compressed under - pressure to less than 1% of its volume and transported at normal temperature, while LNG is natural gas that has been converted temporarily to liquid form for ease of storage or transport, which can take up about 1/600th the volume. The key difference is that CNG is in compressed form, while LNG is in liquefied form. CNG has a lower cost of production and storage compared to LNG as it does not require an expensive cooling process and cryogenic tanks. However, it is more cost-efficient to transport LNG over long distances because of the reduction in volume. Generally, we transport CNG to a city if it is located within 300 km from the natural gas supplier and we transport LNG to a city if it is located more than 300 km away from the natural gas supplier. Approximately 99% of the natural gas we purchase is CNG and approximately 1% is LNG.

Our business is generally affected by two seasonal factors: First, between December and March, the cold weather in northern China makes construction very difficult. For a given gas distribution project, to avoid running into this time period, we generally start the process of pipeline installation, which has a duration of six to eight months, in April so as to complete the process before December. As a result, our revenues from connection fees are higher in the third and fourth quarter than that in the first and second quarters. Second, gas sales in winter are generally higher than in summer, as our customers tend to consume more natural gas for heating purposes.

Organizational History of Sino Gas

Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on August 19, 1983 as Evica Resources, Inc. On April 5, 1984, we changed our name to American Arms, Inc. American Arms, Inc. commenced the manufacture and sale of weapons and laser sights. On April 12, 1988, we changed our name to American Industries, Inc. as we were no longer engaged in the manufacturing and sale of weapons and laser sights. American Industries, Inc. was in the business of providing room safes for hotels.

On February 19, 2002, we formed a subsidiary corporation named Pegasus Tel, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware, in order to enter into the telecommunications business. On March 28, 2002, Pegasus Tel, Inc. merged with Pegasus Communications, Inc., a New York corporation, with Pegasus Tel, Inc. as the surviving entity. On January 14, 2002 we purchased payphone assets consisting of 29 payphones and associated equipment from the Margaretville Telephone Company for $11,600.00.

On May 21, 2002, we changed our name to Dolce Ventures, Inc. We were an inactive shell between May 2002 and September 7, 2006.

On September 7, 2006, the shareholders holding 72,569,764 shares of our common stock, which constituted 72.01% of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock, sold all of their shares to GAS Investment China Co., Ltd. (“Gas (BVI)”), the parent company of Beijing Gas, for a cash consideration of $675,000. On the same date, we consummated a share exchange transaction with the shareholders of Gas (BVI), whereby we exchanged 14,361,646 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), which constituted all of the then outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred, for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Gas (BVI) held by the shareholders of Gas (BVI). As a result of the share exchange transaction, Gas (BVI) became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Beijing Gas became our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary. In addition, as a result of the share exchange transaction, we ceased being a shell company as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and are now engaged in the development of natural gas distribution systems and the distribution and supply of natural gas in the PRC.

On November 17, 2006, we changed our name to Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. and effected a 304.44-for-1 reverse stock split which reduced the number of the outstanding shares of our common stock from 100,770,140 to 331,002. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, each of the 14,361,646 shares of the then outstanding Series A Preferred was automatically converted into one share of our common stock, resulting in all of the shareholders of Gas (BVI) immediately prior to the share exchange owning approximately 97.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after the reverse stock split, with Mr. Yuchuan Liu, the CEO of our company, owning 36.7%, Gas (BVI) owning 1.6% and the original shareholders of Dolce Ventures, Inc. immediately prior to the share exchange owning 0.6%. On August 18, 2008, Sino Gas consummated a spin-off of Pegasus Tel, Inc. (“Pegasus”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino Gas, to Sino Gas’ stockholders of record as of August 15, 2008 (“Spin-off”). The Ratio of Distribution of the Spin-off was one (1) share of common stock of Pegasus for every twelve (12) shares of common stock of Sino Gas (1:12). Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole-number. An aggregate of 2,215,136 shares of Pegasus common stock were issued pursuant to the Spin-off to an aggregate of 167 Sino Gas stockholders.

Organizational History of Gas (BVI) and Beijing Gas

Gas (BVI) was incorporated on June 19, 2003 in the Territory of the British Virgin Islands with Mr. Liu Yu Chuan as its sole shareholder. Gas (BVI) is the holding company for Beijing Gas. Prior to the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Beijing Gas by Gas (BVI) as described below, Gas (BVI) had no business operations, assets or liabilities, apart from organizational expenses and fees.

Beijing Gas was originally formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the PRC in 2001 under the name Beijing Yuan Wang Yu Cheng Construction Ltd., and changed its name to its current name, Beijing Zhong Ran Wei Ye Gas Co. Ltd., in June 2003. On February 17, 2004, Gas (BVI) acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Beijing Gas from its then shareholders. On July 14, 2004, Gas (BVI) transferred 1% of the capital stock of Beijing Gas to Shen Zhen Shen Qi Cheng Tong Investment Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Shen Zhen Shen Qi”), and, simultaneously, Shen Zhen Shen Qi invested RMB 20 million in Beijing Gas in exchange for 50% of its capital stock. As a result, Gas (BVI) and Shen Zhen Shen Qi held 49% and 51% of the capital stock of Beijing Gas, respectively. On April 30, 2006, Gas (BVI) acquired all of the capital stock of Beijing Gas held by Shen Zhen Shen Qi in exchange for RMB 20.4 million. As a result of this transaction, Beijing Gas is now a “wholly foreign owned entity” under PRC law by virtue of its status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gas (BVI).

Beijing Gas has subsidiaries, known as project companies, in four provinces, and four branch offices in Beijing. The project companies are the operating subsidiaries of Beijing Gas. Each project company operates as a local natural gas distributor in a city or county, which we refer to as an operational location, pursuant to an exclusive franchise agreement with the local government or entities responsible for administering and/or regulating gas utilities, pursuant to which Beijing Gas is granted the exclusive right to develop and operate natural gas distribution systems and distribute natural gas at the operational location.

We now have operations in Hebei Province, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, and Jilin province and in the suburbs of Beijing through our four branch offices in Beijing, We have operations in 23 cities in Hebei, 2 cities in Anhui, 4 cities in Jiangsu and 1 city in Jilin province. Most of them have an urban population of less than 300,000 and are experiencing quick urbanization. Hebei Province is the closest province to the Chinese Capital city Beijing, where our headquarters is located. Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province are two adjourning provinces in eastern China, which are close to Shanghai City. Jilin Province is located in North-Eastern China.

Each of the project companies is organized as a limited liability company under PRC law with Beijing Gas holding an equity interest of 85% to 100% and an individual shareholder nominally holding the remainder of the equity interest in such project company. Each such individual shareholder has relinquished any and all rights, power and interest of a shareholder in the respective project companies under enforceable contracts. This structure was intended to comply with a PRC law that required a limited liability company to have at least two shareholders, which requirement was removed in January 2006. Beijing Gas intends to cause the individual shareholders to transfer their shares in each of the project companies back to Beijing Gas in the near future.

In addition, Beijing Gas holds a 40% equity interest in Beijing Zhong Ran Xiang Ke Oil and Gas Technology Co. Ltd. (“Beijing Zhong Ran Xiang Ke”), a PRC joint venture entity engaged in the business of development, licensing and sale of oil and gas technologies and equipment, and sale of self-produced chemical preparation for use in the exploration process of oil field. We did not derive any material amount of revenues from this joint venture.

In 2007, we made the following acquisitions:

On January 15, 2007, Beijing Gas acquired 100% equity interest of Beijing Chenguang Gas Ltd., Co. for a purchase price of 26,000,000 RMB (or approximately USD3.35 million) in cash. Beijing Chenguang became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beijing Gas. Beijing Chenguang is primarily engaged in the business of developing, transfer and licensing of technologies regarding natural gas purification, compression and transportation., as well as installation of natural gas equipment and supply of natural gas. Mr. Zhicheng Zhou, our Chief Operating Officer, owned 30% of Beijing Chenguang immediately prior to the acquisition. We made full disclosure under the heading “Certain relationships and related transactions” in this report.

On June 20, 2007, Beijing Gas acquired 100% equity interest of Guannan Zhongyuan Natural Gas Co., Ltd. for a purchase price of 7,500,000 RMB (approximately $987,000) in cash. Guannan is a regional natural gas distributor and developer of natural gas distribution networks in China's Jiangsu Province. The acquisition of Guannan includes all of the assets and customer relationships of Guannan, including concession rights to be the exclusive natural gas distributor in Guannan County, Jiangsu Province, for a period of 30 years beginning June 29, 2007. This acquisition is not with related parties.

On July 9, 2007, we purchased the assets of Baishan Gas Co., Ltd., a regional distributor and developer of distribution networks for natural gas in Jilin Province for a price of $921,000 (RMB7,000,000). Under the asset purchase agreement, we are responsible for paying outstanding debts of Baishan Gas Co., Ltd. in the amount of $4,000,000, which are due in periodic installments through the year 2030. This acquisition is not with related parties.

On April 22, 2008, we entered into an agreement with the Qujing Development Investment Co., Ltd. a PRC state-owned company and Yunnan Investment Group Co., Ltd, also a PRC state-owned company, to set up Qujing Gas Co. Ltd to operate in the City of Qujing, Yunnan Province (the “Qujing Gas”). The Company will hold a 39% equity interest in Qujing Gas. The initial registered capital of the Qujing Gas is RMB 30 million (U.S.$4.29 million). This acquisition is not with related parties.

On April 23, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% equity interest in Tongshan Hengxin Jiaye Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (“Tongshan”), for a purchase price of RMB 32.6 million (U.S.$4.66 million). Tongshan is a regional natural gas distributor and developer of natural gas distribution networks in China’s Jiangsu Province. This acquisition is not with related parties.

Our Industry

China’s Macro-Economic Environment for the Natural Gas Market

Traditionally, the PRC has relied heavily on coal and crude oil as its energy sources. According to the China Statistical Yearbook, in 2004, coal, crude oil, hydro-electricity and natural gas accounted for 68.0%, 22.3%, 7.1% and 2.6%, respectively, of the PRC's total energy consumption. In 2005, the ratios were 68.9%, 21.0%, 7.2% and 2.9% respectively. In 2006, the ratios were 69.4%, 20.4%, 7.2%, and 3% respectively. In 2007, the ratios were 69.5%, 19.7%, 7.3%, and 3.5% respectively. Based on the PRC government’s Eleventh Five Year Plan (2006-2010), the ratios of coal, crude oil, hydro-electricity would change to 66.1%, 20.5%, and 6.8% respectively, while that of natural gas would increase to 5.1%. Natural gas has been primarily used as a raw material for chemical fertilizer and to operate oil and gas fields. Accordingly, most natural gas is consumed for production of fertilizer, while the non-production sector accounts for low percentage of final consumption.. In 2007, non-production consumption of natural gas was around 18.6 billion cubic meters, which was about 26.7% of total natural gas consumption that reached 69.5 billion cubic meters (Source: National Bureau of Statistics of China).

The PRC's heavy reliance on coal is out of line with world consumption rates for the same time period, which was 26.5% in 2005 (Source: Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy). The use of coal, however, causes air pollution and other negative consequences to the environment. In the PRC, the heavy use of unwashed coal has lead to large emissions of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. The latest air pollution study conducted by the Blacksmith Institute shows that in 2007 two of the 10 most polluted cities in the world are located in the PRC (Source: http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org). As such, there have been serious environmental concerns in many countries around the world and resulted in a global trend to reduce coal usage.

Recognizing the serious problems caused by heavy reliance on coal usage, the PRC government has aggressively moved to reduce coal usage by substituting coal with other, more environmentally friendly, forms of fuel, such as natural gas. In consideration of such trends, the PRC set out a policy to raise the share of natural gas in the country's energy mix in its Ninth 5-Year Plan (1996-2000). At the local government level, in many locations where natural gas supply is available, local governments often require all new residential buildings to incorporate piped gas connections in their designs as a condition to the issuance of the construction or occupancy permits. Before 2000, the gas distribution had principally been served by local municipal governments. Since then, the industry has been open to private sector, whose investments have fostered the wide use of natural gas in the PRC. The natural gas industry has been deemed by the PRC government as a suitable industry for public and private investments.

Demand for Natural Gas in China

Currently, natural gas consumption in the PRC accounts for about 3% of its total energy consumption. However, driven by environmental pressure from the demand side and improvements in social infrastructure with economic growth, in the west in particular, and stable energy supply, it is anticipated that the use of natural gas will grow very rapidly in the PRC. According to the statistics of the China National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), the consumption of natural gas as increased from 24.5 billion cubic meters in 2000 to 69.5 billion cubic meters in 2007, which represented an average growth of 16.06% per year.

China’s Natural Gas Reserves and Gas Pipeline Infrastructure

The PRC abounds in rich natural gas reserves, which are distributed principally in Xinjiang, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia in western and north-central China. According to the statistics of the Energy Information Administration, proved natural gas reserves in China are estimated to be 53,325 billion cubic feet in 2006, and 80,000 billion cubic feet in 2007.

Because the PRC’s largest reserves of natural gas are located in western and north-central China, it requires a significant investment in gas transportation infrastructure to carry natural gas to eastern cities and the rest of the PRC. Until recent years, the PRC’s natural gas consumption was limited to local natural gas producing provinces because of the lack of national long-distance pipeline infrastructure.

The principal method for transportation of natural gas from a source to end users is by means of pipelines. In order to develop the natural gas industry, it is essential that the necessary pipeline infrastructure be in place so that natural gas is easily accessible for distribution to end users at affordable cost.

Under with the PRC government’s Tenth 5-Year Plan (2001-2005), the country’s longest pipeline, known as the West-East Pipeline, was constructed and went into operation in January 2005. It transports natural gas to demand centers in the southeast from deposits in the western Xinjiang province to Shanghai, picking up additional gas in the Ordos Basin along the way. The full length of the pipeline is about 4,200 km with a designed annual throughput capacity of 20 billion cubic meters, a delivery pressure of 10 megapascals and 35 processing stations along the pipeline.

There are other pipelines linking smaller natural gas deposits to consumers, such as the pipeline linking the Sebei natural gas field in the Qaidam Basin with consumers in the city of Lanzhou, Ganshu province in the northwest, and a pipeline linking natural gas deposits in Sichuan province in the southwest to demand centers in Hubei and Hunan provinces in the central PRC.

In its Eleventh 5-Year Plan (2006 - 2010), the PRC government re-affirmed its commitment to making significant investments in the expansion of the natural gas pipeline infrastructure over a period of 20 years.

Natural Gas Suppliers

The natural gas supply in China is dominated by the three large state-owned oil and gas holding companies, namely China National Petroleum Corporation Group (“PetroChina”), China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation Group (“Sinopec”), and China National Offshore Oil Corporation Group (“CNOOC”). In 2006, production by CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC accounted for 73.7%, 14.1% and 12.2%, respectively of the total national production. CNPC and Sinopec own and primarily operate onshore pipelines while CNOOC owns and operates virtually all off shore pipelines (Source: The Institute of Energy Economics of Japan).

Natural Gas Distributors

Before 2000, natural gas distribution had been principally served by local municipal governments. Since then, the natural gas industry has been designated by the PRC government as a suitable industry for public and private investment and has been open to private investment which has fueled the development of the industry and fostered a wider use of natural gas in the PRC. In large cities where the population exceeds 500,000, the natural gas distribution business is dominated by state owned companies, while in cities where the population is less than 500,000, natural gas distribution is carried out by many privately owned companies, most of which operate in just a few locations.

The Gas Delivery Process

The natural gas delivery process is categorized by three segments: production, transmission and distribution, as shown in the chart below:

Production involves underground exploration, drilling, extraction and purification of the natural gas. After extraction from a gas well, natural gas is transported to nearby refineries for removal of water and other impurities. The natural gas is then transported from the refineries via long distance pipelines under extremely high pressure facilitating the supply to a large number of locations near these pipelines at high speeds. The long distance pipelines are owned and operated by PRC state owned oil and gas exploration and production companies such as Sinopec and PetroChina.

Distribution companies (such as our company) distribute natural gas to end users and often own the gas pipeline infrastructure rights of an operational location (including the local pipelines, the processing stations, and the branch pipelines). A distribution company purchases natural gas from oil and gas exploration and production companies. The distribution company determines the method of delivering natural gas to its desired destination after taking into account factors such as the distance between the stations along the major pipeline and delivery points and the expected demand for gas from the relevant gas supply locations.

The transportation of CNG and LNG involves the delivery of natural gas by trucks from gas wells or stations located along the relevant long distance pipeline to a processing station. Such processing stations may contain CNG or LNG pressure regulating facilities which will depressurize the CNG or LNG to reduce the pressure of natural gas from high pressure to medium pressure, before transferring the natural gas to a local pipeline.

The processing station is usually located on the outskirts of an operational location for safety reasons and it provides certain ancillary facilities, including the addition of bromine to the gas to enable the detection of leakages when the gas is transmitted through the pipelines, and storing the gas under high, medium or low pressure to be used as reserves for future unexpected fluctuation in demand.

High pressure gas storage tanks usually have thicker walls and therefore, are more expensive to construct than gas storage tanks for storage of gas under medium or low pressure.

After processing, the gas is transmitted under medium pressure to the local pipelines. Local pipelines are laid within an operational location and represent the backbone of the local gas delivery system. Different sections of the local pipelines operate at slightly different pressures, with computer controlled regulators controlling the flow of natural gas for delivery to end users via the branch pipelines and customers’ inlets.

When there is a demand for a connection of gas to a particular area within a gas supply location, the distribution company will invest in the construction of the branch pipelines to connect the local pipelines to the pressure regulating boxes located in the end-users’ buildings or premises. The pressure regulating box reduces the natural gas to a lower pressure before the natural gas is transmitted to the customers’ inlets. Customers’ inlets transmit the natural gas through the pressure regulating box to the end users.

Our Strategy

Our strategy involves: (i) expanding our presence in small and medium sized cities; (ii) acquiring existing gas distribution systems and/or franchises; and (iii) expanding our business upstream by developing and maintaining pipelines that connect China’s East-West Gas Pipeline with the cities where we have our gas stations or where other distributors own distribution networks.

(i) Expand Our Presence in Small and Medium Sized Cities by Obtaining Additional Exclusive Franchises. We have focused on small (with urban population in the city proper of less than 300,000) and medium sized (with urban population in the city proper of less than 1,000,000) cities, generally near a larger metropolitan area where there is little competition to obtain a franchise, and where our franchise grants us exclusivity. In such places in the PRC, we are in a better position to obtain exclusive natural gas distribution system development and supply franchise agreements in negotiating with the cities. These smaller cities urgently need to provide their citizens with energy and usually do not have the leverage of very large cities, which can attract multiple bidders for their franchises. Accordingly, we require and receive an exclusive franchise entitling us to be the sole natural gas utility in such city. Usually, our franchises are for a period of 25 to 30 years. Since our founding, we have successfully obtained 29 franchises in small and medium sized cities, of which 28 have already developed and 1 is still under development. In 2008, we were able to secure one development project.

(ii) Acquire Existing Franchises and Gas Distribution Networks to Facilitate Growth. Our expanded presence in small and medium sized cities was accomplished not only by securing franchises and developing gas distribution networks ourselves but also by acquiring existing franchises and networks from other operators. We believe acquisitions will provide us opportunities for growth as well as enable us to explore opportunities in bigger cities (with urban population in the city proper of more than 300,000). Normally we target companies that have valuable assets and market prospects with strategic locations.

(iii) Expand into Upstream Business. We currently develop gas distribution networks which deliver gas from our storage and distribution station in a particular city to residential or industrial customers in that city. We do not have pipelines that connect the national main pipeline that runs across China from the West to the East with the cities where we our customers are located. We have to deliver the gas we purchase from the main pipeline operator to our gas storage facilities in different cities by trucks. We intend to expand into the upstream business by developing regional distribution networks to connect the West-East main pipeline with cities that are not located near the passageway of the national main pipeline. By developing and maintaining regional pipelines, we believe we can deliver natural gas to our customers more efficiently and with potentially higher margins. In addition, such regional distribution networks can be used by other gas distributors along the pipelines, which will add potential revenue sources for us. As the development of such regional networks require a significant capital outlay, we intend to start exploring such projects after we are able to raise a significant amount of funds in the future.

(iv) Raise Additional Capital . We are in a capital-intensive business due to the fact that a major part of our activities is to build local natural gas distribution networks which requires larger capital outlay.

Although the connection fees we charge our customers provide us with the needed capital for building local natural gas distribution networks to a large degree, they may not provide sufficient capital if we carry out the acquisitions and upstream expansion as we have planned. Our growth will, therefore, depend on our ability to raise additional funds. We anticipate using our financing strategy as a competitive tool. Our goal is to duplicate the type of financing and related financial instruments used by utilities in the United States, including the issuance of subsidiary level, non-recourse debt, preferred stock and holding company fixed income issuances. Such a financing plan would not only give us a favorable cost of capital, but enhance investor returns and keep investor dilution at a minimum.

Competitive Advantages

We believe we have the following competitive advantages:

(i) Better Relationships with Natural Gas Suppliers. We have been able to develop good relationships and therefore secure contracts with large state-owned natural gas producers such as PetroChina and China Petroleum Chemical. These contracts have ensured a stable supply of natural gas for us.

(ii) Experienced Management and Technical Personnel. We have a team of senior executives who are industry experts in managing larger Chinese petroleum and/or gas companies with scores of years of combined experience in running our company or managing businesses in our industry. Our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yuchuan Liu, is a natural gas industry expert with over 20 years experience in senior management positions at PetroChina and China Gas Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed PRC company. Our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Zhicheng Zhou, served as the director and General Manager of Beijing Chenguang Gas Co., Ltd. from late 2002 to 2006. Our Chief Engineer, Mr. Shukui Bian, is one of the draftsmen of the PRC national standard for urban gas supply, and was previously the chief executive officer of the First Oil Extraction Plant of North China Oilfield. Our company was one of the earliest to engage in the natural gas distribution business in small and medium sized cities, and thus having gained significant experience in this market segment.

(iii) Experienced Sales and Marketing Team. Our sales and marketing team has gained significant experience in working with local governments and identifying potential markets in small and medium sized cities. Due to their effort, we have won franchises for 29 locations.

(iv) US Capital Markets Access. By becoming a US public company, we have gained access to size and efficiency of the US capital market. We will be able to raise funds, as we have done, for our expansion and growth, albeit our ability to raise funds in the US is a limited one because we have not been listed on any major US national stock exchanges. Very few Chinese companies that are in the natural gas distribution business have become US public companies.

Products and Services

Currently, we generate revenues primarily from the connection fees we charge our customers for connecting to the pipelines in our natural gas distribution systems which we have constructed, and fees for natural gas we charge our customers based on usage.

We recorded connection fees in the amounts of $11.89 million and $9.29 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, constituting 43.08% and 43.30% of total revenues for those years. Sales of natural gas were $15.70 million and $12.16 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, constituting 56.92% and56.70% of the total revenues for those years.

Connection Fees

We charge our real estate developer customers a flat connection fee for the installation of gas lines to each of their apartments or housing units. The level of connection fees varies among operational locations and is determined based on a detailed analysis of factors such as estimated capital expenditure, fees charged in surrounding cities, number of users, expected penetration rates, income levels and affordability to local residents and is approved by the relevant local state price bureau. The average of these connection fees for the company in 2009 was approximately $362.4 per household. For industrial customers, the connection fee is determined based on the facility capacity (on a cubic meter per day basis 300 RMB per cubic meter). Should additional capacity be needed, these customers are required to pay additional connection fees for the additional capacity installed. Connection fees are usually paid in installments, with 30% within certain days set out in the contracts after the start of each project, 30% at milestones set out in the contracts, 30% upon completion and 10% guarantee which is paid after one year. Connection fees generally provide a 60-80% profit margin. The rates of connections fee are set by the local state price bureau based on the connection fees charged by other gas distributors in surrounding areas and can vary in different cities. In most cases, we accept the price set by the local state price bureau. But if we find the price does not offer a profit margin equal or greater than 20%, we will negotiate with local governments for an increase and local governments usually agree to increase our connection fees under such circumstances. The connection fees in most cities are very close to our average connection fee per household. Gas usage fees are also subject to the approval of the local state price bureau. Future price increases are also subject to the same approval process. In considering applications for an increase in gas usage charges, the local state price bureau may consider factors such as increases in the wholesale price of gas or operating expenses, inflation, additional capital expenditure, and whether the profit margin remains fair and reasonable.

When entering into master supply contracts for mass connections, we usually require the payment of deposit from customers while the balance is payable in accordance with the terms set out in the contracts. In the event customers default in the payment of connection fees, we will not start the supply of natural gas until the connection fees are paid.

Gas Usage Charges

We arrive at gas usage charges after taking into consideration the wholesale price of gas, operating costs, price of substitute products, internal business model margins and the purchasing power of local residents. Gas usage charges are based on actual usage on a per cubic meter basis. The gas usage charges per cubic meter vary between operational locations and the payment mechanism between different categories of customers varies.

Since our inception, the majority of our residential customers have purchased gas units in cash at our sales outlets with details of the prepaid gas units stored electronically on a debit card. The debit card is inserted into a debit card debit gas meter installed at the end user’s premises to activate the gas supply. Units of gas used are deducted from the debit card. When the level of prepaid gas units drops to a certain level (currently pre-set at three cubic meters), the gas meter will produce a sound signal to remind the customer to replenish the value stored in the debit card. Over 85% of our residential customers utilize the debit card payment method. This payment method provides significant advantages to us as all gas purchases are prepaid - not at the point of sale or in arrears.

For those residential customers without a debit card gas meter installed and for commercial and industrial customers, payments for natural gas usage are made in arrears. Gas meters that record actual gas consumption are installed at the end users’ premises and meter readings are taken physically by our staff every month. Monthly bills based on the prior month’s actual usage are then sent to customers. In the event customers default in payment of gas usage charges, gas supply will be suspended within one month of billing.

Our Business Activities

Our major business activities include development and construction of local gas distribution networks, transportation of natural gas from suppliers to our storage facilities in a given operational location, and operating and maintaining the gas distribution networks.

Development

(i) Identifying distribution opportunities in new operational location: Our business development team actively explores and identifies suitable areas of service by conducting market research on potential operational locations where the demand for piped natural gas is desired. Because of our experience and ongoing cooperation with governmental authorities, we also receive invitations from local governments to bid for new natural gas projects or to take over existing natural gas projects.

As the piped natural gas supply industry in the PRC is still in the early stages of development, most areas in the PRC are not yet supplied with piped natural gas even though they may be in close proximity to natural gas sources. Due to the capital intensive nature of new natural gas distribution projects, we are very selective in our choices for new operational locations.

The selection of new operational locations is determined after conducting preliminary evaluation and studies on the target locations, and return on investment. The criteria for any potential operational location that are investigated and documented by us are:

Size and density of population.

Economic statistics of the targeted locations.

Extent and concentration of industrial and commercial activities.

New property development in the target location.

Projected levels of connection fees and gas usage charges.

Extent of the local government’s commitment to environmental protection, environmental policies in place, and the local population’s awareness of environmental issues.

Likelihood of exclusive operational rights and preferential treatment on tax and governmental fees.

Types of gas supply (piped natural gas, CNG or LNG) and methods of delivery. CNG trucks are deployed if the gas source, or long distance pipeline, is located within 300 km. Generally, LNG trucks are used if the gas source, or long distance pipeline, is located beyond 300 km.

For an acquisition of existing natural gas projects, the cost of acquisition, quality of assets and/or business are also valued. In addition, the liabilities of the business are analyzed along with any other perceived or actual problems encountered.

Based on the findings of the investigation, our business development team will decide whether to make a recommendation to management for approval to proceed with discussions and negotiations on a new project. We have conducted dozens of preliminary evaluations since our inception in 2003.

(ii) Securing a New operational location. Once we have approved a potential natural gas distribution project in an operational location, we normally set up a local independent subsidiary, also known as a project company, to administer the project for its lifetime. We then prepare and submit a detailed gas project proposal to the local government and commence negotiations on major issues such as the granting of exclusive rights or rights of first refusal to supply gas to that location, proposed connection fees and gas usage charges and whether any tax and other concessions or favorable policies will be granted by the local government. Once established, the project company will conduct a series of marketing and promotional campaigns (which may include joint promotional campaigns with the local government) to increase public awareness of piped natural gas in the operational location. Concurrently, we begin actively seeking out potential customers in the operational location and negotiate the terms of supply contracts with the aim of entering into supply contracts as soon as possible with such customers.

(iii) Construction.

(a) Design stage. The design of the gas pipeline infrastructure for a natural gas distribution project includes the processing stations, the local pipelines and other ancillary facilities such as gas storage tanks. It is carried out by a government approved design institute in accordance with our requirements and specifications. It also takes into account the local population size, the development of the economy, the utilization of energy resources and the environmental conditions. The master design is subject to approval by the local city construction department. The design stage normally takes two to three months.

(b) Construction Stage. Once the design is approved, we invite independent qualified contractors to tender bids for the construction work. The selection criteria for the contractors include their qualifications, experience, expertise, reputation, familiarity with the local environment, prior experience with us and price. We generally enter into turnkey contracts with independent contractors for construction, installation and maintenance of the natural gas pipelines. We pay a down payment with the remainder to be paid upon completion of the project. At the time of entering into turnkey contracts, we source raw materials such as piping, gas regulating equipment and machinery. We have strict quality control procedures for the sourcing of supplies for all construction purposes.

Our internal engineers and independent external inspectors monitor the entire construction process to ensure that each stage of construction meets our quality and safety standards and the relevant regulatory requirements.

For a given operational location, although the gas pipeline infrastructure is designed to cover the entire operational location, our construction program focuses on early gas delivery to areas of concentrated customer demand within such operational location. This ensures that natural gas supply can begin as soon as the essential gas pipeline infrastructure and facilities such as the processing stations are completed. Construction work in a target area will gradually extend to cover the whole operational location, which typically takes two to five years.

Operation

Once the necessary gas pipeline infrastructure is in place in a given operational location, we begin the design and construction of the branch pipelines and customers’ inlets pursuant to gas supply contracts with customers. The designs of branch pipelines and customers’ inlets are normally prepared by us, reviewed by a government approved design institute, and carried out by external contractors. Upon completion of the construction of the branch pipelines and customer inlets in the operational location, we begin to supply and sale natural gas and related services to customers within the operational location pursuant to supply contracts with such customers. The natural gas to be supplied to the residential or industrial customers is carried by trucks with canisters that contain CNG or LNG, to our storage facilities in various operational locations for storage, decompression and gasification. From those storage facilities, the gas is transported through our pipeline system to our end users.

Intellectual Property

We do not hold any registered trademarks or patents. We have developed a proprietary natural gas compression process that allows us to effectively and economically compress natural gas and distribute it.

We own and operate a website under the internet domain name www.sino-gas.com.

Research and Development

We have eight full-time employees engaged in the company-sponsored research and development efforts. These employees specialize in the fields of energy, mechanical and electronic engineering. Areas that are targets of our ongoing research and development activities include:

Methodology and practices to increase operating efficiency and safety standards.

Expansion of the applications for natural gas, such as gas-fuelled air conditioners, washing machines and dryers, and the use of CNG in motor vehicles.

Improvements in gas storage and transportation systems, especially the reduction of the size of the storage facilities.

Sales and Marketing

Our main sales office, which is located in Beijing, has three staff led by the Vice President of Marketing and is responsible for managing our overall sales policies and devising our marketing strategy. They are responsible for developing and maintaining accounts with major industrial customers and large real estate developers. They regularly visit potential customers and conduct meetings with them to determine if demand exists and to introduce the advantages of using natural gas.

We have approximately 25 sales and marketing staff at our operational locations who target residential customers by working with local neighborhood committees and government agencies. In addition, they coordinate with our national office in targeting industrial customers and local developers. We establish a project company at each operational location and the local sales and marketing team for each project company works together with the main office team to structure an appropriate plan accommodating the specific needs and circumstances of the operational location. Our marketing team plays an active role in lobbying the relevant government authorities during the negotiation stage.

The sales and marketing team is responsible for our company image and brand building, as well as promoting the advantages and concept of using natural gas as a necessary part of modern day life. Once established, a project company will implement a series of promotional campaigns (which may include joint promotional campaigns with the local government) to increase public awareness of piped natural gas in an operational location. At the same time, the project company begins to actively seek out potential customers in the operational location and negotiate the terms of supply contracts with the aim of entering into supply contracts with such customers as soon as possible.

Our Customers

We have two principal types of customers: (i) residential customers and (ii) industrial customers.

Residential Customers

Natural gas is primarily used by residential owners for cooking as well as water and space heating. We market directly to property developers, government departments and organizations, private companies and state-owned enterprises, as these entities enter into master supply contracts with us for the connection of gas to all the units within a residential development (new or existing, owned by such entities or their respective employees). These entities are responsible for making, or they coordinate with the end users to facilitate our efforts in collecting the advance payment of connection fees, while gas usage charges are paid by the individual end users. For new residential developments, connection fees are usually paid in installments, with 30% paid within certain days set out in the contracts after the start of each project , 30% paid at milestones set out in the contracts, 30% paid upon completion, and the final 10% guarantee generally used for retention for quality warranty to the developer, which is normally received after one year.

We also perform gas connection services to existing buildings formerly without piped natural gas supplies. Representatives of the buildings will consult individual households as to whether they wish to have piped natural gas supply and coordinate the collection of connection fees from the end users on our behalf. Both connection fees and gas usage charges are payable in advance by the individual end users. We build pipelines to connect these customers to our gas storage facilities and supply gas at market price after receiving payment. The inlets that are located inside the home and gas appliances are owned by the end users, with one-year quality guarantee by us. We maintain the pipelines outside the end user’s homes. The contracts are generally renewable on a yearly basis.

At present, we have approximately - 145,000 end users in Beijing Hebei, Jiangsu, Jilin and Anhui. Our top five residential customers, who are developers or owners of residential areas, are shown below:

	Percentage of Connections Fees for the year ended December 31,
Customers	2009			2008

Total		26.38	%		5.3	%

Industrial and Commercial Customers

Our industrial customers use natural gas primarily for heating, air conditioning, water heating and cooking purposes. These customers we target include manufacturers, owners of hotels, restaurants, office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, educational establishments, sports and leisure facilities and exhibition halls. Natural gas has a wide variety of applications for industrial customers such as fuelling industrial boilers, furnaces, ovens, incinerators, foundries and steamers as well as water and space heating in staff canteens and dormitories within the industrial customers’ premises. We enter into supply contracts with these customers for the distribution of gas to their premises, and both connection fees and gas usage charges are borne by such customers.

The table below presents information about our top five industrial customers for the periods indicated:

	Percentage of Sales Fiscal year ended December 31,

Materials and Supplies

Natural Gas

The principal supplies purchased for our business are natural gas. Purchase of natural gas represented 81.8% and79.3% of our total cost for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Generally, approximately 99% of the natural gas we purchase is CNG and approximately 1% is LNG.

Our principal CNG supplier has been the Fourth Oil Extraction Plant of the North China Oilfield (the “North China Oilfield”), a subsidiary of PetroChina. Our LNG supplier has been Henan Zhong Yuan Lu Neng Advanced Technology Ltd. Co. (“Henan Zhong Yuan”), a subsidiary of SinoPec. Historically, we have purchased majority of our CNG from North China Oilfield and majority of our total purchases of LNG from Henan Zhong Yuan.

We have supply contracts (with terms from 1 to 3 years renewable but no fixed price, which price is set indirectly by the PRC National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) irregularly and can be passed along to the end customers) with these suppliers and have not experienced any shortage of natural gas supply in the past. To prepare for growth, we have also entered into agreements with new suppliers to meet our growing demands. These contractual relationships with our suppliers allow us to pursue natural gas distribution projects in a wide range of operational locations.

The wholesale price of natural gas is agreed upon between the suppliers and us with reference to the wellhead price which is determined by NDRC with approval from the PRC State Council, distance of transportation, purification fees and the supplier’s operating costs. The wellhead price of natural gas is with a 10% allowance for upward or downward adjustments as a result of negotiations between suppliers and distribution companies, such as Beijing Gas. Generally, we are only required to pay for the actual quantity purchased and there is no penalty should we purchase less than the stated amount.

Piping, Machinery and Equipment

Piping, machinery and equipment constitute 60-70% of our construction expenditure. We purchase such supplies through a bidding process which is administered by the procurement committee. Potential suppliers are evaluated on their proposed terms including technical specifications, price, payment terms and post-sale services and the procurement committee keeps a scoring system based on these parameters. After validation of the various suppliers’ service and capabilities for stable supply, we acquire the needed materials and parts from the supplier offering the best terms.

We purchase pipes of various size and thickness domestically for installation in different segments of our natural gas pipeline infrastructure according to specifications that comply with PRC standards and regulations. Payments for equipment, pipes and machinery are purchased with credit terms ranging from 30 to 90 days. We generally do not purchase gas appliances except gas meters which we purchase in bulk directly from manufacturers in China and maintain a limited inventory of them. We also provide repair and maintenance service to the gas appliances supplied. We generally provide a one-year warranty of our gas distribution system to our customers, during which time we provide free check-ups of the pipeline and repair for any appliances we provided.

In 2009, we purchased approximately $4,012,922 of pipes, machinery and equipment.

Competition

Since our inception, we have focused on supplying natural gas to small and medium sized cities in the PRC where the average urban residents in the city proper is 300,000 and below, where the natural gas penetration rate is typically 0%, and where we are able to obtain exclusivity for natural gas distribution from the local government. In entering into these small and medium sized cities, we are generally authorized to be the sole supplier of natural gas by the local governments pursuant to franchise agreements for a typical term of 25 to 30 years. This differs from the bigger natural gas distribution companies which have focused on a few areas with large populations. The larger cities are very competitive markets that tend to offer less flexibility for advantageous pricing arrangements. Due to our smaller city focus where the operating cost is low and competition is much less intense, we believe we generate profit margins and returns at or above industry-average levels.

As we compete principally with small- to medium- sized private companies in the natural gas distribution industry, the information about our competition and competitive position is limited. Based on the information available to us, we estimate that there are approximately 200 small- to medium- sized private gas distribution companies in the PRC. Most of these companies target local towns, rather than take the approach that we do, of targeting cities in different provinces. Also, most of these companies operate an average of three or four natural gas distributions systems, as compared to the 39 natural gas distribution systems that we operate.

Based on the division of the administrative districts in the PRC as of December 31, 2005, it has been estimated that there are approximately 2,862 smaller cities in the PRC with urban dwellers in the city proper between 100,000 to 300,000. Among them, approximately 800 smaller cities have the potential to be supplied with natural gas and over 100 smaller cities have already been supplied with natural gas. Among the over 100 smaller cities where natural gas is already available, Beijing Gas is the distributor to 27 of them, and, therefore, we believe we have the largest market share among our peer businesses that target the natural gas market among smaller cities.

The following are our natural gas competitors in China:

	Ticker	2009 Revenue (in $millions)		2009 Net Income (in $millions)
Towngas China Co., Ltd (Panva Gas)(1)	1083.HK		336		34
Xinao Gas Holdings Ltd(2)	2688.HK		1,062		81

China Gas Holdings Limited(3)	0384.HK		813		13

(1) Towngas China Company Ltd., formerly Panva Gas Holding Limited, is supplier of gas, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas in eight Chinese provinces, where over 40 companies of the Group are providing gas fuel services.

(2) Xinao Gas Holdings Limited is principally engaged in the investment in, and the operation and management of, gas pipeline infrastructure and the sale and distribution of piped and bottled gas in China with operations in four divisions: gas connection, sales of piped gas, distributions of bottled LPG and sales of gas appliances.

(3) China Gas Holdings Limited (China Gas) is an investment holding company. The Company is an operator of natural gas services principally engaged in the investment, operation and management of city gas pipeline infrastructure, long-distance, high-pressure pipelines, distribution of natural gas to residential, commercial, industrial and vehicle users, construction and operation of oil stations, and gas stations, as well as liquefied natural Gas (LNG) liquefaction plants, and development and application of oil and natural gas related technologies. The Company has four operating divisions: property investment, financial and securities investment, gas connection and sales of piped gas.

Safety and Quality Control

Safety Control

We are focused on safety, have implemented a safety system and have set up a safety department to oversee safety issues for all of our operations. We carry out routine inspection of the branch pipelines, customers’ inlets, gas meters and gas appliances at the customers’ premises twice annually. These semi-annual inspections are free unless major repairs are required in which case we charge the customers for labor, replacement parts and other materials used for the repairs.

We believe in educating users about safety procedures. Before gas is actually supplied, we provide a thorough explanation of safety procedures to end users, hold regular seminars, and distribute brochures and booklets on safety. We have a 24-hour telephone help line for enquiries and reporting of emergency matters.

In order for us to monitor the operations of the pipelines for abnormal gas usage, gas leakages, or any other irregularities, we collect information about the temperature, pressure and volume of gas from key points along the local pipelines. The information is collected in the control center located in the head office of each operational location for analysis. We use process control instruments known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems, in which a number of small detectors are installed along the pipelines to collect information and process the data electronically in real time at the control center. Each project company conducts a major inspection of its pipelines, processing station(s) and other equipment at least once annually. If gas leakages or any other irregularities are detected, we will take remedial action immediately.

Due to the strict implementation of safety control procedures, there have been no major accidents which have resulted in serious injury or death since our inception.

Quality Control

Quality control begins in the design and construction phase of the natural gas supply infrastructure. Our quality control team regularly makes inspection visits and conducts tests to ensure that the construction work meets our required standards as well as national and local regulations.

We also have strict quality control procedures for the sourcing of raw materials. We only purchase from our approved list of qualified suppliers and such suppliers have fulfilled the relevant requirements in accordance with national standards.

In order to monitor the quality of gas purchased by us, we obtain gas composition reports regularly from our gas suppliers with data on important measures such as the heat content and composition of impurities in our gas supply. We also conduct regular tests on the gas purchased in order to verify its quality.

Insurance

We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance, and we have only basic property insurance covering our plants, manufacturing equipment and office buildings.

We maintain social insurance for our staff and employees in accordance with relevant requirements under PRC law.

Government Regulations

Pricing Regulations

We purchase natural gas from natural gas wholesalers, which are state-owned enterprises and which must comply with PRC natural gas pricing regulations. The wholesale price of natural gas payable by distribution companies, such as Beijing Gas, to the suppliers of natural gas is comprised of three components, the wellhead price, the pipeline transportation tariff and the purification fee. The wellhead price is fixed by NDRC, and is currently set at $0.12 per cubic meter with a 10% allowance for upward or downward adjustments for negotiation between suppliers and distribution companies. The pipeline transmission tariffs are determined by reference to the investment costs of the relevant long distance pipeline, depreciation, wear and tear and the distance of delivery. The purification fee is based on the actual purification costs of the suppliers. Both the pipeline transmission tariffs and the purification fee must also be approved by the NDRC.

The price we charge our residential customers for natural gas is based on the wholesale price plus cost and a profit margin of 10-15% and must be approved by the local price bureau.

Operational and Construction Permits

In the PRC, companies in the gas distribution business must also obtain an operational permit from the local municipal government to begin operation. In addition, a construction permit must be obtained if such gas distribution company also engages in construction. In both cases, the local municipal government will review the qualifications and experience of the management and technical staff of the distribution company and consider whether the distribution company is capable of fulfilling the operational and construction standards.

As of March 25, 2010, Beijing Gas and most of our project companies and branch offices have the necessary operational permits.. We believe failure to obtain such permits in time for those projects will not have a materially adverse effect on our operations.

Safety Regulations

As a natural gas distributor, Beijing Gas is regulated by the Administrative Rules on the City Gas Safety jointly promulgated by the PRC Ministry of Construction, standards set by Standard Bureau and Fire Safety Bureau of PRC Ministry of Public Security effective in May 1991. According to such rules, the manufacture, storage, transportation, operation, usage of city gas, design and construction of gas-related projects, and the manufacture of gas-related facilities shall be subject to relevant safety requirements and qualifications. Fuel service station standards are subject to regulation by the PRC’s Ministry of Construction, General Administration of Quality Supervision, and Bureau of Inspection and Quarantine. Required certificates are issued upon satisfactory inspection of service stations. In addition, there are various standards that must be met for filling stations, including handling and storage of gas, tanker handling, and compressor operation. These standards are regulated by local construction and gas operations regulating authorities. Inspections are carried out and certificates for the handling of dangerous agents are issued by relevant local authorities. As of March 25, 2009, most of our project companies have received such certificates. There are three project companies that are still in the process of obtaining such certificates. We believe failure to obtain such certificates in time for those projects will not have a materially adverse effect on our operations.

Environmental Assessment

Under China’s Environmental Regulations, each of our project location should obtain an environmental assessment report which asses the environmental impact of the operations of the project. The report must be approved by the relevant authorities. As of March 25, 2010, most of our project companies have obtained such reports. We are still in process of obtaining such reports for two project companies. We believe failure to obtain such reports in time for those projects will not have a materially adverse effect on our operations.

Income Taxes

Pursuant to the tax laws of PRC, general enterprises are subject to income tax at an effective rate of 33%. Beijing Gas is in the natural gas industry, whose development is encouraged by the government. However, PRC income tax regulations provide that any company operating in the natural gas industry enjoys a favorable tax rate. In addition, Beijing Gas has been approved as a high technology company and as such has been enjoying preferential income tax treatment under the PRC’s income tax policies. Under these policies, Beijing Gas was exempt from corporate income taxes for the first two years commencing from its first profitable year, and thereafter will be entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. Our first profitable tax year was 2003. Accordingly, our income is subject to a reduced tax rate of 7.5% from 2005 to 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate for all enterprises regardless of whether the enterprise is domestic or foreign. However, the PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises that had already began to enjoy tax exemptions prior to January 1, 2008 to continue enjoying the tax exemptions until fully utilized. The subsidiaries of Beijing Gas are subject to the effective rate of 15% - 25%. A majority of income is earned by Beijing Gas.

Foreign Currency Control

Under certain regulations in the form of public notices issued by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, our shareholders who are PRC resident entities or individuals are subject to certain registration requirements due to the status of GAS (BVI) and Sino Gas under Chinese law as offshore special purpose companies, or SPCs. These regulations would prohibit Beijing Gas from distributing dividends or profits to GAS (BVI) and/or Sino Gas as SPCs unless we comply with the registration requirements set forth by SAFE. As of the date hereof, Mr. Liu Yu Chuan, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, has completed the registration with the SAFE and has been issued a SAFE certificate in August 2006. We are in the process of determining whether there are additional shareholders who are subject to the SAFE regulations and whose compliance status will have a material effect on our ability to remit any of our profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise.

Employees

As of March 25, 2010, we had approximately 531 full-time employees, including approximately 63 management personnel, 55 technicians, 42 engineers and 17 research and development personnel. One employee holds a doctorate degree, 6 employees hold a master’s degree, and 172 employees hold a bachelor’s degree.

As required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts with all of our employees. We have also entered into a confidentiality agreement with all of our employees under which such employees are prohibited from disclosing confidential information of the Company or using it for other purposes than the benefit of the Company. Directors, officers, mid-level managers and some key employees in sales and R&D are required to sign a non-compete agreement which prohibits them from competing with the Company while they are employees of the Company and not working for a competitor within one year of termination and working in the industry for two years after their employment with the Company is terminated.

Our employees in China participate in a state pension arrangement organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments. We are required to contribute to the arrangement at the rate of 20% of the average monthly salary. In addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with other types of social insurances. Our total contribution may amount to 30% of the average monthly salary. We have purchased social insurances for all of our employees. The social insurance we paid in 2009 and 2008 is shown below:

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this report before purchasing any shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impair our business operations. If any of the events described in the risk factors below actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer significantly. In such case, the value of your investment could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy the shares of common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

Disruptions in the capital and credit markets related to the current national and worldwide financial crisis, which may continue indefinitely or intensify, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and suppliers.

The current disruptions in the capital and credit markets may continue indefinitely or intensify, and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and suppliers. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed to conduct or expand our businesses or conduct acquisitions or make other discretionary investments, as well as our ability to effectively hedge our currency or interest rate. Such disruptions may also adversely impact the capital needs of our customers and suppliers, which, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We are dependent on supplies of natural gas to deliver to our customers.

The basic business model of our business is to purchase natural gas from our suppliers, and sell such natural gas to our industrial and residential customers for a profit.

As we do not own natural gas reserves, we depend on natural gas supply from a small number of suppliers. While we typically enter into multiple-year gas supply contracts with our suppliers, the supply contracts are subject to review every twelve months. If key terms of these supply contracts are changed after the annual review, or if our suppliers breach any of the key terms of the supply contracts, we will not be able to deliver the natural gas to our customers. While we have not experienced any shortage of supply in the past, we cannot assure you that natural gas will continue to be available to us. In the event that our current suppliers are unable to provide us with the natural gas we require, we may be unable to find alternative sources, or find alternative sources at reasonable prices. In such an event, our business and financial results would be materially and adversely affected.

If it were determined that our spin-off of Pegasus Tel, Inc. in August 2008 violated federal or state securities laws, we could incur monetary damages, fines or other damages which could have a material, adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and prospects.

We may have inadvertently violated the federal and state securities laws in connection with our spin-off of Pegasus Tel., Inc. (“Pegasus”) to our stockholders in August 2008. As we previously reported, on August 18, 2008, we consummated a spin-off of Pegasus, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino Gas, to Sino Gas’ stockholders of record as of August 15, 2008 (“Spin-off”). In connection with the Spin-off, on May 7, 2007, Sino Gas caused Pegasus to file a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB (File No.: 0-52628) with the SEC to register the Pegasus common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, on November 28, 2007, Sino Gas filed with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to inform shareholders of record that it was effecting the Spin-off. The ratio of distribution of the Spin-off was one (1) share of common stock of Pegasus for every twelve (12) shares of common stock of Sino Gas (1:12). Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole-number. An aggregate of 2,215,136 shares of Pegasus common stock were issued pursuant to the Spin-off to an aggregate of 167 Sino Gas stockholders.

In the course of its review of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, the staff of the SEC provided comments requesting further information about the Spin-off and indicated its concern that the Pegasus Shares may have been issued without proper registration or an available exemption from registration. Under Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4 (“SLB 4”) promulgated by the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Division”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Division expressed its view that the shares of a subsidiary spun off from a reporting company are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) when the following five conditions are met: (i) the parent shareholders do not provide consideration for the spun-off shares; (ii) the spin-off is pro-rata to the parent shareholders; (iii) the parent provides adequate information about the spin-off and the subsidiary to its shareholders and to the trading markets; (iv) the parent has a valid business purpose for the spin-off; and (iv) if the parent spins-off "restricted securities," it has held those securities for at least two years.

If it were determined that the Spin-off did not satisfy the conditions for an exemption from registration, it would mean that the issuance of the Pegasus Shares violated Section 5 of the Securities Act and potentially the state securities laws of the U.S. states in which the holders of record for the Spin-off resided. The consequences of such a finding could be the imposition by the SEC and relevant state regulators of monetary fines or other sanctions as provided under relevant federal and state securities laws. Such regulators could also require us to make a rescission offer, which is an offer to repurchase the securities, to the holders of Pegasus Shares.

A finding that the issuance of the Pegasus Shares was in violation of federal or state securities law could also give certain current and former holders of the Pegasus Shares a private right of action to seek a rescission remedy under Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In general , this remedy allows a successful claimant to sell its shares back to the parent company in return for their original investment.

We are unable to quantify the extent of any monetary damages that we might incur if, monetary fines were imposed, rescission were required or one or more other claims were successful. However, we can give no assurance that the damages resulting from any such action or claims will not have a material, adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and prospects. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any pending or threatened claims that the Spin-Off violated any federal or state securities laws.

Based upon facts known to us at this time, we do not believe that assertion of such claims by any of our current or former holders of the Pegasus Shares is probable. However, there can be no assurance that any such claim will not be asserted in the future or that the claimant in any such action will not prevail. The possibility that such claims may be asserted in the future will continue until the expiration of the applicable federal and state statutes of limitations, which generally vary from one to three years from the date of sale. Claims under the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, if relevant, would generally have to be brought within two years of discovery, but not more than five years after occurrence.

The price of natural gas is subject to uncertain government regulations and market conditions.

The price of natural gas is subject to uncertain government regulations and market conditions in the PRC which are subject to change or fluctuations. While our costs for natural gas are subject to control by the PRC government and we have not experienced any significant price fluctuations over the past few years, we can not assure you that the price of natural gas will not vary significantly in the future. Numerous factors, most of which are beyond our control, drive the price and supply of natural gas. Some of these factors are: general international and domestic political and economic conditions, wars, OPEC actions, industry capacity utilization and government regulations. The war in Iraq and uncertain international political conditions could drive the price of natural gas upwards, thus reducing our profit margins in selling the natural gas to our customers. Any production restrictions imposed by OPEC on crude oil and natural gas could also reduce the inventory of the natural gas and drive the price upwards, reducing our profits. The price at which we sell to customers will be subject to approval by the Chinese government and is thus heavily regulated. Although in the past three years there were no significant changes in regulations, we cannot assure you this will be the case in the future. Any change in PRC governmental regulations such as labor law regarding the minimum wage could materially and adversely affect our profits.

Our success depends on our ability to identify and develop operational locations and negotiate and enter into favorable franchise agreements with local governments at the operation locations.

Our success depends on our ability to identify new operational locations in small-and -medium-sized cities in China and negotiate and enter into favorable franchise agreements with local governments that grant us long-term exclusive right to develop the natural gas distribution network and supply natural gas in the operational location. Our failure to identify and develop new operational locations and obtain the exclusive rights to be the developer of natural gas distribution networks and distribute natural gas in such operational locations would curb our revenue growth and may adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain large industrial supply contracts and master residential supply contracts with large quantity of end users.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain large industrial supply contracts and master residential supply contracts with a large quantity of end users. Our failure to obtain large industrial supply contracts and master residential supply contracts with a large quantity of end users will adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and our growth potential and may adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.

Our inability to fund our capital expenditure requirements may adversely affect our growth and profitability.

Our business is capital intensive. Our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to generate more revenue from our existing distribution systems and raise capital from outside sources. We believe that in order to continue to capture additional market share, we will have to raise more capital to fund the construction and installation of the natural gas distribution network for our customers under existing contracts and for new customers. In order to expand our operation, we expect that we will need additional financing for acquisition and expansion in terms of debt financing or equity financing. Our ability to obtain needed financing at any time may depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, the condition of the PRC economy and the natural gas industry in the PRC, and conditions in relevant financial markets in the United States, the PRC and elsewhere in the world. In the future we may be unable to obtain the necessary financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our financial position, competitive position, growth and profitability.

We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth.

From August 2003 to March 2010, we have entered into 29 franchise agreements to provide natural gas to certain newly developed residential communities, and we expect that we will secure more of such franchise agreements in the years to come.

If our business and markets grow and develop, it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. In addition, we may face challenges in managing expanding natural gas distribution network and service offerings and in integrating acquired businesses with our own. Our business expansion has resulted, and will continue to result, in substantial demands on our management, operational, technological and other resources. To manage and support our growth, we must improve our existing operational, administrative and technological systems and our financial and management controls, and recruit, train and retain additional qualified technical and management personnel as well as other administrative and sales and marketing personnel, particularly as we expand into new markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively and efficiently manage the growth of our operations, recruit and retain qualified technical and management personnel and integrate new communities into our operations. Any failure to effectively and efficiently manage our expansion may materially and adversely affect our ability to capitalize on new business opportunities, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The nature of our natural gas operations is highly risky and we may be subject to civil liabilities as a result of our business of gas operations.

Our natural gas operations are subject to potential hazardous accidents to the gathering, processing, separation, storage and delivery of natural gas, such as pipeline ruptures, explosions, product spills, leaks, emissions and fires. These potential hazardous accidents can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and pollution or other environmental damage, and may result in suspension or shutting down of operations at the affected facilities of residential areas. Consequently, we may face civil liabilities in the ordinary course of our business. These liabilities may result in us being required to make indemnification payments in accordance with the applicable contracts and regulations. At present, we do not carry any insurance to cover such liabilities in the ordinary course of our business. Although we have not faced any civil liabilities in the past since we started the current line of business in the ordinary course of our natural gas operations, there is no assurance that we will not face such liabilities in the future. If such liabilities occur in the future, they may adversely and materially affect our operations and financial condition.

Changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect our business.

The distribution of natural gas to industrial and residential customers and operation of filling stations are highly regulated in the PRC requiring registrations with the government for the issuance of licenses required by various governing authorities in the PRC. For example, to operate in our line of business, we are required to obtain and maintain licenses such as the Natural Gas Business License and the franchise Business License. In addition, there are various standards that must be met for filling stations including handling and storage of natural gas, tanker handling, and compressor operation which are regulated by the government. The costs of complying with regulations may increase which may in turn harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations in the PRC could occur that could result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditure requirement and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We may not be able to effectively protect our proprietary technology, which could harm our business and competitive position.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technologies. At present, we use an unpatented proprietary natural gas compression process that allows us to effectively and economically compress natural gas and distribute it. This process was developed by us based on a patented technology co-owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yu-Chuan Liu, and another individual who is not associated with our company. We cannot assure you that we are, and will be able to effectively protect our technology, and our current or potential competitors do not have, and will not obtain or develop similar compression process, the occurrence of either of which could harm our business and competitive position.

Implementation of PRC intellectual property-related laws has historically been lacking, primarily because of ambiguities in the PRC laws and difficulties in enforcement. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in the PRC may not be as effective as in the United States or other developed countries. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive, and we might need to resort to litigation to enforce our rights or defend us, or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of our proprietary rights or those of others. Such litigation may require significant expenditure of cash and management efforts and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, competitive position, and business prospects.

We may be exposed to intellectual property infringement and other claims by third parties, which, if successful, could cause us to pay significant damage awards and incur other costs.

At present, we use an unpatented, proprietary natural gas compression process that allows us to effectively and economically compress natural gas and distribute it. This process was developed by us based on a patented technology co-owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yu-Chuan Liu, and another individual who is not associated with our company. In developing the process, we did not obtain and have not obtained authorization from such individual to use the patented technology. We believe that the technology we use is significantly improved and distinguished from the original patented technology, and any infringement claim related to the original patented technology would be unlikely to succeed. However, we cannot assure you that our assessment is and will be correct. In addition, as litigation becomes more common in the PRC in resolving commercial disputes, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims. The validity and scope of claims relating to natural gas compression technology and related devices and machines patents involve complex technical, legal and factual questions and analysis and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, patent opposition proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability, including damage awards to third parties, court orders requiring us to seek licenses from third parties, to pay ongoing royalties, or to redesign our products or subject us to injunctions preventing us from providing gas services to our customers as required by various contracts we entered. Protracted litigation could also result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation.

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

We have a limited operating history. We commenced our current line of business of offering natural gas to customers in certain cities in China in 2003. Our limited operating history may not provide a meaningful basis on which to evaluate our business. Although our revenues and profits have grown since we started our current business, we cannot assure you that we will maintain our profitability or that we will not incur net losses in the future. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by companies at a similar stage of development, including our potential failure to:

·	raise adequate capital for expansion and operations;

·	implement our business model and strategy and adapt and modify them as needed;

·	increase awareness of our brands, protect our reputation and develop customer loyalty;

·	manage our expanding operations and service offerings, including the integration of any future acquisitions;

·	maintain adequate control of our expenses; and

·	anticipate and adapt to changing conditions in the natural gas utility market in which we operate as well as the impact of any changes in government regulations, mergers and acquisitions involving our competitors, technological developments and other significant competitive and market dynamics.

If we are not successful in addressing any or all of these risks, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We do not have key man insurance on our Chairman and CEO, Mr. Liu, on whom we rely for the management of our business.

We depend, to a large extent, on the abilities and participation of our current management team, but have a particular reliance upon Mr. Yu Chuan Liu. The loss of the services of Mr. Liu, for any reason, may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We cannot assure you that the services of Mr. Liu will continue to be available to us, or that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for Mr. Liu. We do not carry key man life insurance for any key personnel.

In addition, our future success also depends upon the continuing services of the other members of our senior management team, including our Marketing Director, Zhi Min Zhong; our Vice President and Chief Engineer, Shu Kui Bian; and our Chief Financial Officer, Yugang Zhang. If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Competition for senior management and senior technology personnel in our line of business is intense in China, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or senior technology personnel, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or senior technology personnel in the future. Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition.

We do not presently maintain product liability insurance, and our property equipment insurance does not cover their full value, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.

We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance. While product liability lawsuits in the PRC are not common and we have never experienced significant failures of our products, we cannot assure you that we would not face such liability in the event of the failure of any of our products. We –only carry -basic property insurance to cover our real property, natural gas pipelines, storage facilities and equipment. However, we do not have other insurance such as business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC.

We do not maintain a reserve fund for warranty or defective equipment claims. Our costs could substantially increase if we experience a significant number of warranty claims.

Currently, we provide one year service warranty for the end user equipment, such as gas indoor pipes and gas meters to our customers after we have installed the gas distribution systems and commenced gas supply for them. The warranties require us to repair and replace defective components. Since we started our current line of business, we have received a very limited number of warranty claims for our products that only involved minor repairs and whose costs were negligible (around $250 in total). Consequently, the costs associated with our warranty claims have historically been very low. Therefore, we have not established any reserve funds for potential warranty claims. However, if we experience any increase in warranty claims or if our repair and replacement costs associated with warranty claims increase significantly, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC.

We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

All of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including level of government involvement in economic activities, stage of national development, and control of foreign exchange.

While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy.

The PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation of laws and regulations, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly changed, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social life.

The PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our subsidiary, Beijing Gas, established in China. Beijing Gas is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of new laws or regulations, or new interpretation of existing laws and regulations. Beijing Gas and any future PRC subsidiaries are considered foreign invested enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, we are required to comply with PRC laws and regulations governing foreign invested enterprises. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our businesses.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect our customers, demand for our services and our business.

We are a holding company. All of our operations are conducted in the PRC and all of our revenues are generated from sales in the PRC. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, we cannot assure you that such growth will continue. The use of natural gas for commercial and residential consumption in the PRC is relatively new and growing, but we do not know how sensitive we are to a slowdown in economic growth or other adverse changes in the PRC economy which may affect demand for natural gas. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for natural gas and materially and adversely affect our business.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth in recent years, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products and services rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. Such an austerity policy can lead to a slowing of economic growth. In October 2004, the People’s Bank of China, the PRC’s central bank, raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade and indicated in a statement that the measure was prompted by inflationary concerns in the Chinese economy. In 2007, the People’s Bank of China raised the interest rates again. Repeated rises in interest rates by the central bank would likely slow economic activity in China which could, in turn, materially increase our costs and also reduce demand for our products and services.

Beijing Gas is subject to restrictions on paying dividends and making other payments to us.

We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Utah and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries. As a result of our holding company structure, we rely primarily on dividends payments from our subsidiary in China. However, PRC regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of retained earnings, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The “retained earning” has the same meaning under both US GAAP and PRC accounting standards in general, except that under PRC regulations, minimum 10% of net profit after tax has to be set aside as the reserve fund. The upper limit of the reserve fund is 50% of the total registered capital of the Company. Only after such set-aside reserve fund is satisfied, can dividends be paid out of retained earnings. Thus, the impact of such set-aside reserve fund on the Company is the restriction upon the Company’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders. For the most recently completed fiscal year, we have satisfied the set-aside reserve fund requirement and dividends could have been paid out of retained earnings. However, this year, we do not have plans to distribute dividends. Our subsidiary and affiliated entity in China are also required to set aside a 10% of their after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB (Chinese currency Renminbi) into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. See “Government control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.” Furthermore, if our subsidiary or affiliated entity in China incurs debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiary is unable to receive the revenues due from our operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock. As of now, we have not attempted to distribute and remit any dividends from our subsidiaries in China and therefore, we have not experienced restrictions.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi, the Chinese currency, into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, and interest payments, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.

The fluctuation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect your investment.

The value of the Renminbi (“RMB”) against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the RMB we convert would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 21% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and March 25, 2010. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

The discontinuation of any preferential tax treatment currently available to us and the increase in the enterprise income tax in the PRC could in each case result in a decrease of our net income and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

The PRC government has provided various incentives to foreign-invested enterprises and domestic companies operating in a national level economic and technological development zone, including reduced tax rates and other measures. For example, Beijing Gas, which is registered and operating in a high-tech zone in Beijing, has been qualified as a “high or new technology enterprise.” As a result, it is entitled to a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15.0% so long as it continues to operate in the high-tech zone and maintains its “high or new technology enterprise” status. Beijing Gas received a two-year exemption from the enterprise income tax for its first two profitable years of operation, which were 2003 and 2004. Beijing Gas was thereafter entitled to a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 7.5% for the succeeding three years (with an exceptional tax rate of 9.0% for 2005), which expired on December 31, 2007. However, we cannot assure you that the current preferential tax treatments and the current level of the enterprise income tax enjoyed by our PRC operating subsidiary will continue, and any legislative changes to the tax regime could discontinue any preferential tax treatment and increase the enterprise income tax rate applicable to our principal subsidiaries in the PRC.

Specifically, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, was enacted on March 16, 2007. Under the EIT Law, effective on January 1, 2008, China adopted a uniform tax rate of 25.0% for all enterprises (including foreign-invested enterprises) and revoke the current tax exemption, reduction and preferential treatments applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. However, the current preferential tax rate of 15.0% applicable to high and new technology enterprises and the current preferential tax treatments for all enterprises (including foreign-invested enterprises) will be grandfathered for a period of five years following the effective date of the EIT Law until January 1, 2013. The EIT Law applies to all of our PRC operating subsidiaries, including Beijing Gas, which is currently both a high and new technology enterprise and a foreign-invested enterprise. Any future increase in the enterprise income tax rate applicable to our PRC operating subsidiaries or other adverse tax treatments, such as the discontinuation of preferential tax treatments, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Dividends payable by us to our foreign investors may become subject to withholding taxes under PRC tax laws.

Under the EIT Law, dividends payable to foreign investors which are “derived from sources within the PRC” may be subject to income tax at the rate of 20% by way of withholding. Since we are a holding company and substantially all of our income will come from dividends that we receive from our PRC subsidiaries, dividends that we declare from such income may be deemed “derived from sources within the PRC” for purposes of the EIT Law and therefore subject to a 20% withholding tax. While the EIT Law stipulates that such taxes may be exempted or reduced, since no rules or guidance concerning the new tax law have been issued yet, it is unclear under what circumstances, and to what extent, such tax would be exempted or reduced. One example of a limitation on the 20% withholding tax is the way in which, pursuant to a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, income tax levied by the PRC authorities on U.S. investors may not exceed 10% of the gross amount of the dividends, provided that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the new tax law. If we are required under the EIT Law to withhold PRC income tax on our dividends payable to our foreign shareholders, the value of your investment in our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.

Gains on the sales of our shares may become subject to PRC income taxes.

Under the EIT Law, our foreign corporate shareholders may be subject to a 20% income tax upon any gains they realize from the transfer of their shares, if such income is regarded as income from “sources within the PRC.” What will constitute “sources within the PRC” and whether or not there will be any exemption or reduction in taxation for our foreign corporate investors, however, are unclear since no rules or guidance concerning the new tax law has been issued yet. If our foreign shareholders are required to pay PRC income tax on the transfers of their shares, the value of your investment in our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.

Recent PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) Regulations regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents, have undertaken continuous changes which may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties that could adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy, and a failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.

Recent regulations promulgated by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents have undergone a number of changes which may increase the administrative burden we face.

In October 2005, SAFE promulgated regulations in the form of public notices, which require registrations with, and approval from, SAFE on direct or indirect offshore investment activities by PRC resident individuals. The SAFE regulations require that if an offshore company directly or indirectly formed by or controlled by PRC resident individuals, known as “SPC”, intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the SAFE. Without registration, the PRC entity cannot remit any of its profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise. Gas (BVI) is deemed a SPC under these SAFE regulations. As such, our shareholders who are PRC residents, must comply with the registration and disclosure requirements provided under the SAFE regulations. Mr. Yu Chuan Liu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has completed the registration with the SAFE and has been issued a SAFE certificate was issued by SAFE to Beijing Gas in August 2006. We have determined that there are about a dozen of additional shareholders who are subject to the SAFE regulations and whose compliance status will have a material effect on our ability to remit any of our profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise. In addition, we have agreed with the Investors of this round of financing that within ninety (90) days of the closing such additional shareholders will file registration with SAFE, and obtain SAFE certificates. The failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.

Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or another widespread public health problem, could adversely affect our operations.

In 2002, a breakout of SARS in China and other parts of Asia resulted in major disruptions to the economy of China and Asia. A renewed outbreak of SARS or another widespread public health problem in the PRC, where all of the Company’s revenue is derived, could have an adverse effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of health-related factors, including quarantines or closures of some of our offices that would adversely disrupt our operations.

Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could adversely affect our operations.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and nearly all of our directors and all our officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on U.S. Federal Securities Laws against us and our officers and some directors in the U.S. or to enforce U.S. Court Judgment against us or the directors or officers in the PRC.

All of our five directors and all of our officers reside outside of the United States. In addition, our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in the PRC.

Foreign companies conducting operations in PRC face significant political, economic and legal risks. The Communist regime in the PRC, including a cumbersome bureaucracy, may hinder Western investment.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

The PRC historically has not adopted a western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock.

Our officers, directors and affiliates control us through their positions and stock ownership and their interests may differ from other stockholders.

Our officers, directors and affiliates beneficially own approximately 57.6% of our Common Stock. Yu chuan Liu, our Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 24.4% and Mr. Quandong Sun, a director, beneficially owns 20.1% of our Common Stock. As a result, Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun are able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporation transactions including business combinations. Yet Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun’s interests may differ from other stockholders. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock. Please refer to “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” of this Registration Statement for more information regarding beneficial ownership of securities of our management.

We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary in the PRC. In addition, our operating subsidiary, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.

There is currently a limited trading market for our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board. However, our bid and asked quotations have not regularly appeared on the OTC Bulletin Board for any consistent period of time. There is no established trading market for our common stock and our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any other quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market). You may not be able to sell your shares due to the absence of a trading market.

Our Common Stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, the market for our Common Stock may be further limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks.

To the extent the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, we have net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or less, or if we fall below certain other thresholds, our common shares will be subject to certain “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000). For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices and disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely affect the ability of brokers to sell our common shares and limit the liquidity of our securities.

Our common stock is illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, we are incorporated in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, and all of our officers reside outside the United States.

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China. All of our officers reside outside the United States and some or all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in China in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. As a result of all of the above, our public stockholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation doing business entirely within the United States.

A large number of shares will be eligible for future sale and may depress our stock price.

We are required under the Registration Rights Agreement to register for sale by the investors and certain other parties a total number of 12,681,255 shares of Common Stock, including 1,771,074 shares of common stock which are issuable upon (i) exercise of warrants issued to the Placement Agent in the Private Financing, and (ii) shares of Common Stock issued based on the “Make Good” provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. As these shares are placed on the market for sale, it will increase the supply of stocks for sale, and therefore depress the selling price of our stock. On February 11, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1, registration no. 333-147998 was declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which 5,976,212 shares of our common stock is eligible for sale through the registration statement.

Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or a perception that such sales could occur, and the existence of options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices that may be below the then current market price of the common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

The exercise of certain warrants will dilute the investment by current investors.

Currently our outstanding warrants include: (i) series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 241,708 shares of common stock at $3.84 per share, (ii) series C warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,083,588 shares of common stock at $3.375 per share, (iii) series G warrants to purchase an aggregate of 109,489 shares of common stock at $3.84 per share, (iv) series F warrants to purchase an aggregate of 271,074 shares of common stock at $4.84 per share, (v) placement agent series R warrant to purchase an aggregate of 271,074 shares of common stock at $4.84 per share and (vi) warrants to purchase 3,898,687 shares of common stock accompanying 8% senior secured convertible notes at $0.744 per share . Under the existing warrants, a total of 7,875,620 common shares will need to be issued by us if the warrant holders decide to exercise the warrants. If this happens, the investment of our current shareholders would be significantly diluted.

Item 2. Properties

We have offices at all operational locations. The facilities are added with each new project or operational location as part of the execution of the project.

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. A “land use right” allows the holder the right to use the land for a specified long-term period of time and confers to the holder all the incidents of ownership of the land during that period. In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are generally 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. We hold land use rights for two parcels of land registered under their names, and lease land use rights from third parties for additional parcels of land that are used for its gas distribution projects. In addition, we lease office buildings and warehouse facilities for our business operations.

Set forth below is the detailed information regarding these land use rights registered under the names of Beijing Gas or its subsidiaries:

Registered owner of land use right	Location & certificate of land use right	Usage	(approximate) square meters		Date of Issuance or Grant	Expiration Date

Beijing Gas	South side of Huang He Road, Cai Yuan Town, Wu Qiao County Wu Guo Yong (2003) Zi Di Chu No. 208	Other commercial use		1,520	November 25, 2003	November 25, 2043

Xiahuayuan Jinli Gas Ltd.	East side of Xinchen Road in Xiahuayuan District of Zhangjiakou City	Commercial use		3,320	2008	2048

In addition to the land use rights described above, we have the right to use an aggregate of approximately 36,283 square meters for our operations either through grants or transfers of land use rights or lease arrangements. The rights range in duration from six to 20 years. The documentation of some of these land use rights have not yet been completed. We expect to complete the documentation for these land use rights in the near future.

As of December 31, 2009, we own 1040 km of high-pressure underground pipeline. We also own and operate 39 natural gas stations with accompanying buildings, gas compression facilities and other equipment, including 29 cars, 17 trucks, 47 containers (3000 m 3 ), 5 containers (4500 m 3 ), and 76 containers (300 m 3 ). We also lease two trucks and containers.

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

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, there is no material litigation pending or threatened against us.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Beijing Gas appearing elsewhere in this annual report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors" in this annual report.

Overview

We are engaged in the development of natural gas distribution systems and the distribution of natural gas to residential, and industrial customers in small- and medium-sized cities in China, through our indirectly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC, Beijing Gas and its subsidiaries.

Beijing Gas is organized as a holding company with 27 subsidiaries, known as project companies, in four provinces, and four branches offices in Beijing, as shown on the corporate structure chart provided below. The project companies are the operating subsidiaries of Beijing Gas. Each project company operates as a local natural gas distributor in a city or county, known as an operational location, under an exclusive franchise agreement between Beijing Gas and the local government or entities in charge of gas utility, pursuant to which Beijing Gas formed the project company to operate the natural gas distribution project in the operational location. These exclusive franchise agreements last between 20-30 years.

Through its subsidiaries, Beijing Gas is a natural gas distributor, principally engaging in the investment, operation and management of city gas pipeline infrastructure, in the distribution of natural gas to residential and industrial users, in the construction and operation of natural gas distribution networks, and in the development and application of natural gas related technologies. Beijing Gas and it subsidiaries own and operate 39 natural gas distribution systems serving approximately 145,000 residential and seven industrial customers. Our facilities include approximately 1,040 km of pipeline and delivery networks with a daily capacity of approximately 110,000 cubic meters of gas. We own and operate natural gas distribution systems primarily in Hebei, Jiangsu, Jilin, Anhui and Beijing.

Below is our corporate structure:

(1) See “Organizational History of Gas (BVI) and Beijing Gas” under “Description of Business” of this annual report regarding the subsidiaries of Beijing Gas.

Executive Summary

Economic & Industrial Trend

We generate revenue from two sources: connection fees for constructing connections to our natural gas distribution network and sales of natural gas. Our connection activities are closely related to the development of the real estate industry in our targeted cities in China, given the fact that almost all of our connection fees are from new residential apartments. Natural gas facilities in new apartments are often required by local governments, who aim to promote the use of natural gas to improve local residents’ quality of life.

We have experienced high growth of our connection activities since inception of our business due to the Chinese real estate boom in the past years. However, in 2007, the Chinese government implemented a series of policies and regulations to curb inflation and the property market. These policies, together with the worldwide financial crisis in 2008, has resulted a slowdown of the real estate market in China and our business, in turn, has been affected in 2008. Starting in 2008, the Chinese government had changed its policy and prioritized boosting of the economy. The Chinese government had adopted new policies to address the slowdown of the real estate market, such as reducing stamp duties and transactions fees, lowering interest rates, and loosening bank lending policies. The Chinese government had also decided to inject a stimulus package to boost the overall economy, including allocation of funds for mass housing projects. We saw signs of recovery of the real estate market in China at the beginning of 2009, and experienced the increased activities in the 3rd quarter of 4th quarter of 2009.

Even with the up and down of the Chinese real estate market in the past two years, we believe that the future growth trend of the real estate market will not change because of the continuous urbanization in China.

There are three pillars in Chinese economy: domestic consumption (both private and public), net exports, and domestic investment. Chinese Government RMB 4 trillion stimulus package has great impacts on China's domestic production and investments in the past year. GDP growth rebounded to 7.9 per cent in the second quarter from 6.1 percent in the first, which represented a 10-year low. In the third quarter and fourth quarter, China’s economic growth accelerated to 9.1 per cent and 10.7 per cent respectively. China GDP grows by 8.7 percent in 2009, exceeding the target 8%. The GDP growth is expected to maintain strong in 2010.

Our gas users are composed of industrial and residential users. Gas sales from residential users are much less affected by economic and industrial factors and would maintain stable growth in the future, due to the increasing pool of our residential customers. Gas sales from industrial users is subject to the operating performance of the end industrial user. As we develop into more cities, we expect to add more industrial users in the coming year if capital requirements are available.

Material Opportunities

The gas distribution market is quite fragmented in the small (population less than 300,000)-to-medium (population between 300,000 to 1,000,000) sized cities. We are exploring potential project targets. The size of the projects varies from small cities to medium-sized cities. For small city markets, many of them are still untapped or undeveloped. The development of these markets is generally considered major growth components of the company.

Regarding medium-sized or large cities, most of them have already been developed by large distributors or are still operated by state-owned companies. Acquisition opportunities exist for those still run by state-owned companies, as the central government encourages suppliers to turn them into privately-owned companies. The acquisition of these markets would have material impact on the company, increasing the company’s assets and revenues significantly. The company intends to raise money for accretive acquisitions when they become available.

Material Challenges

There are vast number of small-to-medium sized cities left undeveloped, but the competition is -growing, as there are many small new players in the market attracted by the profitability and growth potential of the business. Meanwhile, from time to time, we are also facing competitions from stronger competitors, as large city markets are getting saturated and our competitors are beginning to expand into smaller cities.

We are facing limited opportunities in developing into first-tier cities in China, as most of them have already been taken by other large gas distributors, such as Xin’ao Gas Co. Ltd (largest in China) in the past decade.

Still, potential users in small and medium-sized cities need to be educated by the benefits of natural gas. It takes some time for them to get to know how natural gas can improve the quality of life. This is especially true for new markets, where there is no use of natural gas. Small cities tend to be more reluctant for use of new energies than large cities where residents depend more on coal, rather than natural gas.

China’s energy market is highly regulated by the government, with regard to purchase price and sale price of natural gas. Whenever there is an adjustment to purchase price by the government, gas distributors would increase the sale price correspondingly, subject to a public hearing and government approval. The increase of natural gas prices in China is lagging behind that in the international markets. The Chinese government has seldom adjusted natural gas and we cannot rule out the possibilities of an increase of natural gas prices by the government in the future. Even though we can adjust the sale price accordingly after the increase of purchase price, passing the increase to end users. However, it would make natural gas more expensive, as compared to other alternative energies. Thus this increase of price will deter our business development.

Risks in Short-Term and Long-Term

In each of the cities we are developing and aiming to develop, the real estate market is the major factor that impacts us. Most of our residential customers are the new home buyers. If the real estate market turns downward, the demands for new homes would decrease, resulting in fewer natural gas connections, and thus negatively impacting our business.

To reduce the company dependence on connection fees, the company is looking at opportunities to diversify its business by expanding into related areas, such as pipeline and gas station business. However, we do not expect to develop into those areas in large scale any time soon and it may take some time for those businesses to become our major business.

Net Revenues

We generate revenues from two sources: connection fees for constructing connections to our natural gas distribution network, and sales of natural gas.

Total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $27,591,501, compared to $21,448,488 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of 28.64%. The increase was due to the significant increases of both gas sales, and the connection fees. In 2009, we connected 32,681 new residential households to our gas distribution network, resulting in total connection fees of $11,887,546. Gas sales during the same period amounted to 41.93 million cubic meters, or $15,703,955. In comparison, we connected 26,770 new residential households to our gas distribution network throughout 2008, resulting in total connection fees of $9,287,529. Gas sales during the period amounted to 34.71 million cubic meters, or $12,160,959.

Gas Sales		15.70		56.92	%		12.16		56.69	%		29.13	%

Our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 largely resulted from the following factors:

1)	Significant increase of gas sales. With more customers added into our existing gas network system, the gas sales increased significantly compared to the previous year.

Substantial increase of connection fees from residential customers. Connection fee is closely tied to real estate market in China, and offer a higher gross margin than gas sales The real estate market started its recovery in China at the beginning of 2009, and the activities increased in the 3rd quarter of 4th quarter of 2009, especially in the 4th quarter.

We expect the percentage of gas sales relative to total revenue will continue to increase and the percentage of connection fees relative to the total revenues to decrease, since more customers will be added into our gas distribution network.

The company is also considering opportunities to diversify its business by expanding into related areas, such as pipeline and gas fueling stations. However, we do not expect to develop into these areas on a large scale immediately..

Connection Fees

Connection fees in 2009 were $11.89 million, representing an increase of 27.99% over the year 2008. Connection fees in 2009 accounted for approximately 43.08% of total net revenue compared to approximately 43.30% for the same period in 2008. We connected 32,681 residential users in 2009, an increase of approximately 22.08% from 2008. .

In terms of value, gas sales were $15.70 million in 2009, accounting for 56.92% of total net revenue in 2009, representing an increase of 29.13% over the year 2008.

Cost of Connection

The cost of connection increased 13.75% to $3.29 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $2.89 million for the same period in 2008. This increase is mainly due to the increase of connection service activities in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Cost of connection includes depreciation of major pipelines, the cost of courtyard pipelines, valves, gas meters, and installation and maintenance fees.

Cost of Gas Sales

The cost of natural gas sales includes the purchase and transportation of natural gas and depreciation of delivery equipment. The cost of gas sales increased 33.75% to $14.82 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $11.08 million during the same period in 2008. This increase, which outpaced the 29.13% increase in sales of natural gas during the same interval, is largely due to the increase of rental expenses on gas delivery trucks and higher fuel cost in 2009.

Gross margin for connection fees for the year 2009 was 72.30%, compared to 68.83% in 2008. The margin improved in 2009 since we connected more households in the cities.

Gross margin for sales of natural gas was 5.6% in 2009, compared to 8.86% during the same period of 2008. The decrease was due to an increase of rental expenses on gas delivery trucks and higher cost of fuel in 2009.

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.05 million, representing a strong improvement of 152.90% from $1.60 million in the same period in 2008. This improvement was due to the increase of gross profit driven by higher sales, and the decrease of SG&A and other expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. Income available to common stockholders for diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.28 million after adding back interest expense $0.23 million for convertible bonds.

Cash sourced in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $7.83 million, an increase of $3.62 million from $4.21 million during the same period of 2008.

We secured bank loans in the net amount of $7.32 million, and raised capital in the net amount of $5.64 million through convertible bonds. There were basically no financing activities in 2008 due to the unfavorable capital markets.

Based on our past performance and current expectations, we believe we can meet our cash needs for the next twelve months. In particular, we will utilize our cash and cash equivalents, as well as cash generated from operations to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for the next 12 months. However, the Company may require additional financing to complete an unanticipated transaction or satisfy its daily cash needs in the event that financial circumstances of the Company change. At that time, in the event we are not able to obtain a sufficient line of credit or other form of financing, our ability to operate our business could be significantly impacted and our financial condition and our results of operations could suffer.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 were $5.04 million, representing a decrease of $0.97 million from $6.01 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was due to the fact that we continuously made efforts on AR collections.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act and have designed disclosure controls and procedures or caused disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under its supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, 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. Due to its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, 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 or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009.

Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and have designed internal control over financial reporting or caused internal control over financial reporting to be designed under its supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, 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 or procedures may deteriorate. We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that is designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer using the criteria in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

•

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.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of our Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following significant deficiencies:

(1) The Company has not yet established the mechanism to require all the employees to sign an affidavit acknowledging that the employee has read and will intend to comply with the Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) which is applicable to all Company directors, officers and employees.

(2) Our Internal Audit Department has not taken a full active role in the conduct of its activities due to insufficient resources. The anti-fraud monitoring mechanism has not been developed yet.

(3) Our Company did not formulate a comprehensive Related Party Transactions Policy and develop a master list of all Related Parties.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered 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.

Management’s Plan for Remediation of significant deficiencies

Our management has worked, and will continue to work, to address these deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Implementations of certain remedial measures include the following:

(1) All the employees will be required to sign an affidavit acknowledging that the employee has read and will intend to comply with the Code before the end of second quarter of 2010. We are going to continue modify the Code, and arrange respective on-going training to all the employees with the update of the Code. The Code will be distributed to all the employees.

(2) The management has engaged an Internal Audit Manager to take the active role of Internal Audit Function of the Company. With the assistance of third party professional, the roles and responsibilities of the internal audit department together with the risk-based internal audit plan have been formulated and approved by Audit Committee. The anti-fraud mechanism will be established before the end of second quarter of 2010.

(3) We will try to develop a comprehensive Related Party Transactions Policy and a master list of all Related Parties before the end of third quarter 2010.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

(Stated in US Dollars)

1.	ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on August 19, 1983 as Evica Resources, Inc. The Company changed its name to American Arms, Inc. on April 5, 1984, and then changed its name to Dolce Ventures, Inc. on May 21, 2002, and ultimate changed its name to Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. on November 17, 2006.

On September 7, 2006, the Company underwent a reverse-merger with Gas Investment China Ltd. (“GIC”), an International Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, involving an exchange of shares whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 14,361,646 shares to the shareholders of GIC in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of GIC. For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of Sino Gas International Holdings, Inc. (Legal acquirer, accounting acquiree) and the historical financial statements of Gas Investment China Co. Ltd. (Legal acquiree, accounting acquirer)

The Company is a natural gas services operator, principally engaging in the investment, operation, and management of city gas pipeline infrastructure, in the distribution of natural gas to residential and industrial users, in the construction and operation gas stations, and in the development and application of natural gas related technologies. The Company owns and operates 39 natural gas distribution systems serving approximately 145,000 residential and seven industrial customers. The Company’s facilities include approximately 1040 kilometers of pipeline and delivery networks (including delivery trucks) with a daily capacity of approximately 110,000 cubic meters of natural gas.

The common stock of the Company is currently quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers' Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SGAS”.

Basis of Presentation and Organization

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) or in the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with US GAAP.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Method of Accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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 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; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

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 environment 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 law and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(f) Accounts and Other Receivable

Accounts and other receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for purchasing raw materials. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has not taken an amortization expense of goodwill during the time it has carried a 40% and 39% stakes in Xiangke and Qujing respectively.

(i) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.

(j) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Assets Class		Estimated Useful Life
Gas Pipelines (Up to December 31, 2007)		25 years

Gas Pipelines (Starting from January 1, 2008)		50 years

Buildings		25 years

Leasehold Improvements		25 years

Machinery & Equipment		20 years

Motor Vehicles		10 years

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) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss. Amortization is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the intangibles are as follows:

Asset Class		Estimated Useful Life
Land use rights		20 - 50 years

Franchises		30 years

For goodwill, impairment tests are performed annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill carrying values exceed estimated reporting unit fair values. Upon indication that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as a charge against current operations. Based on the impairment tests performed, there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

(l) Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents the cost of constructing pipelines and is stated at cost. Costs comprise direct and indirect incremental costs of acquisition or construction. Completed items are transferred from construction in progress to the gas pipelines of fixed assets when they are ready for their intended use. The major cost of construction relates to construction materials, direct labor wages, and other overhead. Construction of pipeline, through which to distribute natural gas, is one of the Group’s principal businesses. The Group builds city main pipeline network and branch pipeline network to make gas connection to resident users, industrial and commercial users, with the objective of generating revenue on gas connection and gas usage fees collected from these customers. These projects, once completed, will significantly increase the gas supply capacity.

(m) Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue represents prepayments by customers for gas purchases and advance payments on construction and installation of pipeline contracts. The Company records such prepayment as unearned revenue when the payments are received.

(n) Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate fair value. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate the fair value based on the Company’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

(o) 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.

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Net sales consist of gas and connection fee revenue. Cost of sales include gas and connection cost. Gas connection revenue is recognized when the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably and the stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably. Sales of natural gas are recognized when goods are delivered and title has passed.

(q) Investment Income

Investment income represents the Company’s share of post-acquisition results of its investment in equity securities for the year.

(r) Income Taxes

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine and report its taxable reduction of income taxes for the year in which they are available. The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC) tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets, whether it is more likely than not that these items will expire either before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

(y) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers for Financial Assets (FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing) and FASB Statement No. 167 (FASB ASC 810 Consolidation), a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FASB ASC 810 Consolidation).

Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing), and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. Statement No. 166 (FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing) must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the above pronouncement.

Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FASB ASC 810 Consolidation), and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. Statement No. 167 (FASB ASC 810 Consolidation) shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the above pronouncement.

On June 30, 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, Accounting Standards Codification™ ( FASB ASC 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. On the effective date of this standard, FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) became the source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for nongovernmental entities, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. If an accounting change results from the application of this guidance, an entity should disclose the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle in their financial statements. This new standard flattens the GAAP hierarchy to two levels: one that is authoritative (in FASB ASC) and one that is non-authoritative (not in FASB ASC). Exceptions include all rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, and certain grandfathered guidance having an effective date before March 15, 1992. Statement No. 168 is the final standard that will be issued by FASB in that form. There will no longer be, for example, accounting standards in the form of statements, staff positions, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) abstracts, or AICPA Accounting Statements of Position.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

(z) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for warrants and the as-if method for convertible securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding warrants, and convertible preferred stock.

3.	RESTRICTED CASH

The restricted cash reflects funds received from financing activities that is held in an escrow account in the United States for the purpose of investor relationship activities.

4.	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

For natural gas sales, it is due when the gas is sold. Most of residential customers are settled by prepayments with debit cards, while industrial customers are billed and paid according to the contract terms from 10 days to one month.

For construction projects, connection fees are generally collected in installments. First deposits of 30% of total contract sum are received from client when the project commences. Second payment of 30% is received at milestone set out following the contracts. Third payment of 30% is received after the construction is completed. The final sum of the remaining portion normally acts as retention money for quality warranty to the developer. The retention money would be received by the company after the 1 year warranty period.

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on customer facts and economic conditions. Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectibles. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and collection is improbable. To date, the Company has not charged off any balances as it has yet to exhaust all means of collection. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers.

The Company obtained the loans from Construction Bank of China and China Development Bank via a collateralized agent Zhongyuan Guoxin Credit Guarantee Co., Ltd (“Guarantor”). Guarantor guaranteed to the Banks the entire principal and accrued interest. The Company pledged all Beijing Zhongran Weiye Gas’ subsidiaries to the guarantor and was required to pay 2% of the outstanding loans as financial service to the guarantor per annum. Because the Company lacked the favorable credit history to directly establish credit facility with the banks, the pursuance of a credit collateralization from guarantor was a financing solution of choice.

January 1, 2008, the PRC government implemented a new income tax laws for all enterprises. The new law imposed a 25% income tax rate on Company’s subsidiary Beijing Gas. As such, Beijing Gas provided a $778,480 income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2008. Subsequently, in 2009, the Beijing was granted by the PRC government a 10% income tax exemption. The exemption is the result of Beijing Gas new recognition as a high-tech green energy enterprise. In accordance with this exemption, Beijing Gas will enjoy a 15% tax rate. Consequently, the PRC government will refund $229,527, (a 10% income tax provision) to Beijing Gas from its 2008 payment. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a reduction of its 2009 income tax expense.

The following table details the difference between the actual tax provisions and the amounts of tax exemption obtained from PRC government for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

On September 14, 2009, the IRS of United States charged the Company $270,000 penalty for the failure to file timely Form 5471 on December 31, 2007 tax return. However, the Company did not believe it should be subject to this liability because of the fact that the Company was only a holding company. It did not have any tax liability for the year 2007. The Company appealed the penalty by filing protest letter to IRS office on February 12, 2010. As of March 24, 2010, the Company has not received any reply from IRS.
