March
31, 2009





1.
            The
      Company




(a)
Organization





Sinoenergy
Corporation (“Sinoenergy” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March
2, 1999 under the name Franklyn Resources III, Inc. (“Franklyn”). The Company’s
corporate name was changed to Sinoenergy Corporation on September 28,
2006.




(b)
Reverse Split of Common Stock





The
Company amended its articles of incorporation on June 17, 2008 by a certificate
of change. The certificate of change effected a one-for-two reverse split of the
common stock and reduced the Company’s authorized shares from 100,000,000 shares
of common stock to 50,000,000 shares without changing the par value. This
reverse stock split became effective on July 9, 2008. All share and per share
information in these financial statements retroactively reflects the reverse
split for all periods presented.





(c)
Change of Fiscal Year





The
Company changed its fiscal year from the calendar year to September 30,
effective September 30, 2007.





(d)
Subsidiaries of the Company

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Management’s
Responsibility





Management
acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements, which reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair
statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its
operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in
the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2008. Results for the six months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year.





Basis of
Presentation





The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.





Principles of
Consolidation




The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
of Sinoenergy Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.


Use of
Estimates





In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, the Company makes estimates, judgments
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and sales and expenses during the reported periods. Significant
estimates include depreciation and the allowance for doubtful accounts and other
receivables, asset impairment consideration, valuation of warrants and options
and inventory valuation, and the determination of revenue and
costs.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.





-7-




Goodwill





Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the
fair value of the net assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least
annually. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and all other assets
and liabilities to assigned reporting units. The fair value of each reporting
unit is estimated and compared to the net book value of the reporting unit. If
the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the net book value,
including goodwill, then goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of
goodwill through a charge to operations. Because quoted market prices are not
available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair values of the
reporting units are estimated based upon several valuation analyses. The
goodwill on the Company’s financial statements was a result of the transactions
pursuant to which the Company acquired Yuhan, Jiaxing Lixun, Xuancheng
Sinoenergy and Jingrun, and relates to the pressure container, vehicle
conversion kits, and CNG station operation reporting segments. As of March 31,
2009, management determined that there is no indication of
impairment.





Cash and Cash
Equivalents





The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March
31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the Company did not have any cash
equivalents.





Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts





An
allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for customers (other than related
parties) based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the
receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company
becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such
as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s
operating results or financial position. When circumstances related to customers
change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables are further
adjusted.





Inventories





Inventories
are comprised of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and low value
consumable articles. Amounts are stated at the lower of cost or market value.
Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average
basis. Costs of finished goods include direct labor, direct materials, and
production overhead before the goods are ready for sale. Inventory costs do not
exceed net realizable value.





Long-Term
Investments





Investments
in entities in which the Company owns more than 20% and up to 50% of the equity
and does not have the ability to control, but has the ability to exert
significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.  Under
the equity method, an investment is initially recorded at cost. Subsequently,
the carrying amount of the investment is increased to reflect the investor's
share of income of the investee and is reduced to reflect the investor's share
of losses of the investee or dividends received from the investee.




Property, Plant and
Equipment





Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally by
use of the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the
expected useful life of the assets are expensed to operations while major
repairs and improvements are capitalized.





The
estimated useful lives are as follows:





Buildings
      and facilities
              20
      yearsMachinery
      and equipment
              8
      yearsMotor
      vehicles
              5
      to 10 yearsOffice
      equipment and others
              5
      to 8 years





Intangible
Assets





Intangible
assets, representing patents, technical know-how, and acquired land use rights,
are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets which range from 10 to 50 years.





There is
no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land is owned by the government and
the government grants what is known as a land use right, which is a transferable
right to use the land. The land use rights for the land on which the Sinogas,
Jiaxing, Xuancheng, Jingrun, and Qingdao Sinoenergy facilities are located
are recorded as intangible assets.





Impairment of
Assets





In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,
“Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”),
impairment of assets is monitored on a periodic basis, and is assessed based on
the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the underlying assets.
In the event that the carrying amount of assets exceeds the undiscounted future
cash flows (fair value), then the carrying amount of such assets is adjusted to
their fair value.




-8-




Capitalization of
Interest





The
Company capitalizes interest incurred in connection with the construction of
assets, principally its CNG stations, during the construction
period.  Capitalized interest is recorded as an increase to
construction in progress and, upon completion of the construction, to property
and equipment.  The Company capitalized $139,617 and $505,000 of
interest during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
and $241,990 and $792,000 of interest during the six months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.





Revenue
Recognition





The
Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership
have been transferred to the customer, including factors such as when persuasive
evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is
fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  CNG
station construction and building technical consulting service revenue related
is recognized on the percentage of completion basis. Under the
percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recognized based upon contract costs
incurred to date as a percentage of total contract costs expected to be incurred
at contract completion (the customer will provide progress report based on the
actual percentage of the work volume.) Revenue is presented net of any sales tax
and value added tax.





Rental
Income





Rental
income is recognized ratably over the term of the lease.





Warranty
Reserves





Warranty
reserves represent the Company’s obligation to repair or replace defective
products under certain conditions.  The estimate of the warranty reserves
is based on historical experience and industry practice.  Based on
experience and industry practice, the Company has established a warranty reserve
rate of 0.2% of gross sales for customized pressure containers and CNG station
facilities and construction segments. The Company periodically reviews this rate
and revises it as necessary.





The
following tables show a reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s product
warranty liability (dollars in thousands).

Income
Taxes





The
Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
applicable to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.





The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” on October 1,
2007. The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax
position when, in management’s judgment, it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company
initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that
it judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. The liability, if any, associated with
unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing
circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new
or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period
in which they are identified.





-9-




Foreign Currency
Translations





The
Company’s functional currency is Renminbi (“RMB”) and its reporting currency is
U.S. dollars. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated using the
closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and operating accounts
are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the
quarter. Equity accounts are translated using the historical rate as incurred.
Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Transaction
gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the
statement of operations as incurred.





Fair Value of Financial
Instruments





The
Company adopted  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
157 Fair Value Measurementsand SFAS 159 The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
on October 1, 2008.  The Company has not yet adopted the
provisions of these statements related to non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, as permitted.





SFAS 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:





-
            Level
      1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset
      or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the
      measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1
      inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based
      derivatives.-
            Level
      2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
      directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable
      through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and
      liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities,
      non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value
      hedges.-
            Level
      3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is
      little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the
      measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3
      inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and
      commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing
      models.





SFAS 159
permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value.





The
Company determined that as of March 31, 2009, the Company did not have
any significant financial assets or liabilities that require fair value
measurement pursuant to SFAS 157, nor did the company choose to report any
assets or liabilities at fair value, pursuant to SFAS 159.





Minority
Interest





Minority
interest refers to the portion of a consolidated subsidiary which is not
wholly-owned by the Company. The Company records the minority interest portion
of any related profits and losses in consolidation.





Stock-Based
Compensation





The
Company grants stock options to employees and stock options and warrants to
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. In accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, the fair value of stock options and warrants issued to employees and
non-employees is measured at the grant date. The Company utilizes the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value. The resulting amount
is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the
Company expects to receive benefit, which is generally the vesting period. In
some cases, our principal stockholder, which is owned by our chief executive
officer and our chairman, both of whom are directors, provided or agreed to
provide stock to executive officers in connection with their
employment.  These shares are treated as if the shares were
contributed to and issued by the Company.  The value of the shares is
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.





Concentration of Credit
Risk





Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. While there
are risks associated with any concentration of customers management believes
that the active monitoring system in place to monitor the creditworthiness
of customers will minimize such risks.





The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its debtors, but does not require
collateral, in accordance with general industry practice in China.




The
Company maintains its cash accounts with major banks in China.  The Chinese
banks do not provide deposit insurance.






-10-




Earnings per
Share





The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”),
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).  SFAS
No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic
and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is
similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of
potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as
if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or
issuance date, if later.  Potential common shares that have an
anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease
loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.





The
calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is based on
the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock during the
reporting periods, and is applied to options and warrants using the treasury
stock method to determine if they are dilutive. The common stock issuable upon
conversion of the convertible preferred stock and convertible notes payable is
included on an “as if converted” basis when the preferred stock and convertible
notes are dilutive.





Comprehensive
Income





The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income” (“SFAS No. 130”). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting
and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in
a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 defines
comprehensive income or loss to include all changes in equity except those
resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, including
adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency
translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable
securities.





The
Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is foreign currency
translation gain $624,000 and $2,768,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $463,000 and $3,733,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Cumulative other
comprehensive income is recorded as a separate component of shareholders’
equity.





New Accounting
Pronouncements





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”).
SFAS No. 141(R) requires an entity to recognize the assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent
consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date.  Subsequent
changes to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration will be
reflected in earnings until the contingency is settled. 
SFAS No. 141(R) also requires acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of
the purchase price. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 140 on
October 1, 2009, which will apply to business combinations completed on or after
that date.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements” to improve the relevance, comparability, and
transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all
entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the
same way as required in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS
No. 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for
transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be
treated as equity transactions. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS
No. 160 on October 1, 2009.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 may have
on  its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows upon adoption.


In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement
133.” SFAS No. 161 provides new disclosure requirements for an entity’s
derivative and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 was adopted by the Company
on January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have an
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.





In
April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP FAS 142-3). This
position amends the factors an entity should consider when developing renewal or
extension assumptions used in determining the useful life over which to amortize
the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own
historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in
determining the amortizable useful life. Additionally, this position requires
expanded disclosure regarding renewable intangible assets.  The
Company will be required to adopt FSP FAS 142-3 on October 1,
2009.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.  The guidance for
determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective
date.





At its
June 25, 2008 meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the
consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 Determining Whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock  (EITF
07-5).  The adoption of EITF 07-5’s requirements will affect accounting for
convertible instruments and warrants with down-round provisions. 
Down-round provisions are designed to protect an investor in the event the
issuer issues securities at a lower price or with a lower exercise or conversion
price.  Convertible instruments and warrants which are derivatives and
have such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity.  EITF 07-5 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier
application by an entity that has previously adopted an alternative accounting
policy is not permitted.  The Company will be required to adopt EITF 07-5
commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2009, which is the first quarter
of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.  To the extent that the
Company’s convertible notes and certain of its warrants are outstanding on
December 31, 2009, the Company will reflect as a derivative liability the fair
value of the derivate component of these securities and will reflect a gain or
loss for the derivative liability based on the change in value of the derivative
liability during each fiscal quarter during which the instruments are
outstanding.




In May
2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No.
APB 14-1 ("FSP APB 14-1"), Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments must
account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that
reflects the entity's estimated non-convertible borrowing rate at the date of
issuance. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for periods subsequent to December 15, 2008
and must be applied retrospectively.  The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did
not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Anhui
Gather





On March
23, 2007, the Company and Hong Kong China New Energy Development Investment Co.,
Ltd. (“China New Energy”) organized two companies to construct and operate
natural gas processing plants – Anhui Gather Energy Company (“Anhui Gather”),
which is based in Wuhu City, and Hubei Gather Energy Gas Co., Ltd. (“Hubei
Gather”), which is located in Wuhan.




Anhui
Gather was initially owned 55% by China New Energy and 45% by Tianjin Green
Fuel.  On July 4, 2007, the Company purchased the 45% interest from
Tianjin Green Fuel for $2,750,000.  Hubei Gather was initially owned
55% by the Company and 45% by China New Energy.   The Company’s
capital obligation to Hubei Gather was $4,000,000, of which $1,375,000 has been
paid as of March 31, 2009.





In
July2008, the
Company entered into an agreement with China New Energy pursuant to which it
exchanged a 25% interest in Anhui Gather for a 25% interest in Hubei
Gather.  As a result of the exchange, the Company owns an 80% interest
in Hubei Gather and a 20% interest in Anhui Gather.  Neither Hubei
Gather nor Anhui Gather has commenced business activities.  The
results of Hubei Gather’s operations are included in the Company’s consolidated
operations, and Hubei Gather is not treated as a long-term
investment.





Sinogas
General Luxi Natural Gas Facilities Co., Ltd. (Sinogas Luxi)





On
October 31, 2008, in order to provide for a supply of steel bottles, a major
component in its CNG trailer, Sinogas signed a joint venture agreement with LuXi
Chemical Group, a Chinese chemical company, to set up a company located in
Liaocheng City, Shandong province, with a proposed annual production capacity of
4,000 steel bottles. The total registered capital is RMB 50 million (equivalent
to $7.31 million based on the exchange rate on March 31, 2009), of which Sinogas
has a 40% interest and will contribute 40% to this enterprise. In December 2008,
Sinoags contributed RMB10 million (equivalent to $1.46 million based on the
exchange rate on March 31, 2009.) Sinogas Luxi has not commenced business
activities.

use right owned by Sinogas represents two parcels of land located in the central
portion of Qingdao City, on which Sinogas and Yuhan’s offices and
manufacturing facilities are located. The land use right was purchased by the
Company from Beijing Sanhuan, a former shareholder of Sinogas, for a price of
RMB142 million, equivalent to US$20.72 million based on the March 31, 2009
exchange rate. The land use right is being amortized from May 2007 over a
50-year term.





On March
1, 2008, Sinogas entered into an agreement to sublease certain parcels of land
to Qingdao Mingcheng Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Qingdao Mingcheng”), a
non-affiliated third party, for a term of three years beginning in January 2008
and expiring on December 31, 2010, at an annual rental of RMB40 million,
equivalent to approximately $5.9 million based on the March 31, 2009 exchange
rate. The lease also gives Qingdao Mingcheng a right of first refusal to
purchase the property at a value to be negotiated if Sinogas proposes to sell
the property during the term of the lease. On March 31, 2009, Sinogas signed a
memorandum of understanding with Qingdao Mingcheng pursuant to which the Company
reduced the rental receivable by 40%. The reduced rent is payable in quarterly
installments over a one-year period commencing June 30, 2009.





On
December 15, 2007, the Company purchased from a non-affiliated third party all
of the equity of Jingrun, whose sole asset is the land use right and
construction in progress, for approximately RMB60 million ($8.8
million based on the March 31, 2009 exchange rate). The cost of the land
use right paid by the Company was approximately $4.1 million based on the March
31, 2009 exchange rate.





The land
use right owned by Xuancheng was purchased by the Company from Shanghai CNPC
Enterprises Group, a non-affiliated third party, for $872,000 based on the March
31, 2009 exchange rate. The Company has paid the purchase price and obtained the
title deed for the land use right.





On
January 4, 2008, the Company purchased all of the equity of Qingdao Shan Yang
Tai Chemistry Resources Development Co., Ltd. (“QDSY”) from an unrelated third
party for approximately RMB43 million.  QDSY’s sole asset is the
land use right and construction in progress. The cost of the land use right
paid by the Company was approximately $1.9 million based on the March 31, 2009
exchange rate. The Company obtained the title deed for the land use right
on December 31, 2008.





In June
2008, Lixun acquired from a non-affiliated third party a land use right for
$368,000, which Lixun plans to use for construction of a new plant.

Advances from Customers





Advances
from customers at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008 consist of advances
received for routine sales orders according to the Company’s sales
policy.





13.
Income Taxes Payable





The
Company pays national and local income tax in China.  Beginning
January 1, 2008, the Chinese government has adopted a new statutory tax
rate at 25%.





As PRC
subsidiaries that qualify as wholly foreign owned manufacturing enterprises,
Sinogas, Yuhan and Jiaxing Lixun were granted tax preferences. Sinogas and Yuhan
were granted a 100% enterprise income tax exemption for calendar years 2006 and
2007 and a 50% enterprise income tax exemption for the following three years
(2008 through 2010). Jiaxing Lixun was granted a 100% tax
exemption from August 2007 through December 2008 and a 50%
enterprise income tax exemption for the following three calendar years (2009
through 2011).




Under the
current tax laws of the PRC, the Company’s other PRC subsidiaries, Wuhan
Sinoenergy and, Pingdingshan Sinoenergy will each be entitled to a two-year 100%
tax exemption followed by three years of a 50% tax exemption
once they become profitable.





-15-




No
provision for taxes outside of the PRC is made as Sinoenergy Holding Limited, an
investment holding company, has no taxable income in the British Virgin
Islands.





14.  Long
term notes payable





In
September 2007, the Company issued 12% senior notes due 2012 in the principal
amount of $16,000,000 and 3.0% senior convertible notes due 2012 in the
principal amount of $14,000,000.





The
convertible notes are due in September 2012 and bear interest at the stated
interest rate of 3% per annum. If the convertible notes are not redeemed or
converted or purchased and cancelled by the maturity date, the Company is
required to redeem the convertible notes at the amount which results in a yield
to maturity of 13.8% per annum, net of interest previously received, plus any
interest accrued on overdue principal (and, to the extent lawful, on overdue
interest) and premium, if any, at a rate which is 3% per annum in excess of the
rate of interest then in effect. As a result, the Company is accruing interest
at the rate of 13.8% per annum. Since the Company is only required to pay
interest currently at the interest rate of 3% per annum, the remaining 10.8% per
annum interest rate is accrued and treated as deferred interest payable. If the
convertible notes are converted, the deferred interest payable will be credited
to additional paid in capital.





The
convertible note indenture requires the Company to offer to purchase the Notes
at a price which would generate a 13.8% yield if the Company does not maintain
the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if, after obtaining
the listing, the common stock is not listed on either a United States national
or regional securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market or if trading of the
common stock on any exchange or market has been suspended for ten or more
days.





The
indenture also requires the Company to pay additional interest as
follows:




•
            At
      the rate of 3.0% per annum if the Company fails to maintain the listing of
      its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital
      Market.•
            At
      the rate of 1.0% for each 90-day period in which the Company has failed to
      comply with the registration obligations under the registration rights
      agreement. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had accrued additional
      interest of $560,000 pursuant to this provision, of which $280,000
      was paid in January 2009 and $280,000 remained outstanding. The Company
      has accounted for the additional interest payable as a result of the
      failure of the Company to have the shares of common stock issuable upon
      conversion of the 3% senior notes registered in accordance with FSP EITF
      00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, and SFAS
      No.5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. Accordingly, the Company has accrued
      the additional interest payable under registration rights agreements up to
      March 31, 2009. The Company will review and adjust this accrual at each
      subsequent period end. If the registration statement is not effective by
      June 21, 2009, an additional $140,000 payment will become
    due.




At March
31, 2009, the holders of the Notes have the right to convert their Notes into
common stock at a conversion price of $4.20 per share, reflecting a reduction in
the conversion price through March 28, 2009. The indenture, as clarified,
provides that if the Company sells common stock or issues convertible securities
with a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price, the
conversion price is to be reduced to the sales price or the exercise or
conversion price, but not less than $0.80 per share. The Company agreed not to
sell shares at a price or issue convertible securities with an exercise or
conversion price less than $0.80.





In
addition, the average price of the common stock is computed in accordance with
the indenture on September 28 and March 28 of each year.  If the
average price of the common stock is less than the conversion price, the
conversion price is reduced to the greater of the average price or $4.20 per
share. Since the average price before March 28, 2009 is lower than $4.20, the
conversion price as of March 31, 2009 is $4.20.





The
indenture provides for an adjustment in the conversion price if the Company
fails to have net income, as defined in the indenture, of $14.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and $22.5 million for the year ending December 31,
2009. The indenture also had a required net income target for 2007. The
investors have waived the right to any adjustment based on 2007 net income, in
consideration for which the Company’s principal stockholder, which is an entity
owned by the chief executive officer and the chairman of the board agreed to pay
the investors a total of $600,000.  The noteholders waived payment of
this obligation on February 23, 2009.





The
Company changed its fiscal year from the calendar year to the year ended
September 30, effective with the year ended September 30, 2007. Since the
Company does not have audited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2008, which covers parts of two fiscal years, as of May 10, 2009, the
Company has not computed its net income, as defined in the indenture, for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2008.




If the
Company’s net income does not reach the stated level for 2008 or 2009, the
conversion rate, which is the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of $100,000 principal amount of convertible notes, shall be adjusted
in accordance with the following formula. Conversion rate then in effect + [(A x
B)/ C], where




-16-




A =
 the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis at the date of determination of such
adjustment;





B
= 3% expressed as a decimal; and





C = the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date divided by
$100,000.




The
following discussion is based on the assumptions that (a) the target levels are
not met for both 2008 and 2009, (b) the number of fully diluted shares of common
stock (other than shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes)
through the end of 2009, and (c) none of the notes are converted. Any change in
any of these components will affect the amount of any adjusted conversion
rate and conversion price. Under the formula, if the 2008 target was not met,
the conversion rate would increase o 24,021 shares per $100,000 principal amount
of note and the conversion price would be adjusted to $4.162 from the
conversion price at March 31, 2009, which is $4.20, which represents a
conversion rate of 23,810 shares per $100,000 principal amount of notes. If the
target for both 2008 and 2009 are not met, the conversion rate would become
28,665 shares per $100,000 principal amount, and the conversion price would be
$3.489.




The
senior notes mature on September 28, 2012. The Company is required to make
mandatory prepayments on the senior notes on the following dates and in the
following amounts:

Commencing
September 28, 2008, the Company may redeem the senior notes at the
declining percentages of the principal amount commencing at
108%.





The
indentures for both the convertible notes and the senior notes, as amended
through May 19, 2009, have certain covenants, including the
following:




•
            If
      the Company sells assets and does not reinvest the proceeds in its
      business in the time frames set forth in the indenture, the Company is
      required to offer the holders of the notes the right to have the Company
      use such excess proceed to purchase their notes at the principal amount
      plus accrued interest.•
            If
      there is a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company is
      required to offer to repurchase the notes at 103% of the principal of the
      note, plus accrued interest.•
            The
      Company is restricted from incurring additional debt unless, either (i)
      after giving effect to the borrowing, the Company maintains (i) a fixed
      charge coverage ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00 through December 31, 2009
      and 3.0 to 1.00 thereafter, and (ii) a leverage ratio of not more than 6.0
      to 1.00 through December 31, 2009 and 4.5 to 1.00 thereafter, or (ii) the
      debt is permitted debt. The noteholders agree that they shall not take any
      action to cause or declare an Event of Default as long as the Company is
      in compliance with these amended ratio. The fixed charge coverage ratio is
      the ratio of the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
      and amortization, which is generally known as EBITDA, to consolidated
      interest expense, as defined. Leverage ratio means the ratio of
      outstanding debt to EBITDA, with the interest component being the
      consolidated interest expense, as defined. Permitted debt includes
      indebtedness by Sinogas of not more than $10,000,000 and certain purchase
      money indebtedness.•
            The
      Company is subject to restriction in paying dividends, purchasing its own

            The
      indentures pursuant to which the notes were issued, as amended through May
      13, 2009, provide that the Company shall maintain, as of the last day of
      each fiscal quarter, (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 2.00 to
      1.00 through December 31, 2009 and 3.0 to 1.00 thereafter, (ii) a leverage
      ratio of not more than 6.0 to 1.00 through December 31, 2009 and 4.5 to
      1.00 thereafter, and (iii) a consolidated subsidiary debt to consolidated
      net tangible asset ratio of not more than 0.35 thereafter. The noteholders
      agreed that they would not take any action to declare an event of default
      as long as the Company is in compliance with the modified
      covenants.  At March 31, 2009, the fixed charge ratio was 2.26
      to 1, the leverage ratio was 5.77 to 1 and the subsidiary debt
      ratio was 0.28.


The
Company also entered into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which, as
long as an investor holds at least $2,000,000 principal amount of notes or at
least 3% of the issued and outstanding stock:


•
            The
      investor has the right to approve the Company’s annual budget, and the
      Company cannot deviate by more than 15% of the amount in the approved
      budget.•
            The
      Company and its subsidiaries cannot replace or change the substantive
      responsibilities of the chief executive officer except in the event of his
      incapacity, resignation or retirement.•
            The
      Company and its subsidiaries cannot take any action that would result in a
      change of control, as defined in the indentures.•
            The
      Company and its subsidiaries cannot change the number of board members or
      the composition or structure of the board or board committees or delegate
      powers to a committee or change the responsibilities and powers of any
      committee.•
            The
      investors have a right of first refusal on future financings by us and
      proposed transfers, with limited exceptions, by Mr. Huang and Mr. Deng.
      The investors also have a tag-along right in connection with proposed
      sales by Mr. Huang and Mr. Deng.




Management
reviewed the accounting for these transactions and concluded that the conversion
option did not constitute an embedded derivative under SFAS No. 133, as the
Company has sufficient authorized but unissued shares to meet its maximum share
obligations upon conversion, including any reductions in the conversion price.
However, the transaction includes a beneficial conversion feature pursuant to
EITF 98-5 and 00-27, and the total beneficial conversion feature of $176,656 was
charged to additional paid in capital and is being amortized over the life of
the notes commencing October 1, 2007. However, in the first quarter of the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, the Company will be required to adopt
EITF 07-5, as a result of which the conversion feature of the convertible notes
will be treated as a derivative. See Note 2-New Accounting
Pronouncements.





As a
result of the reduction in the conversion price from $6.34 to $5.125, the
Company recorded an additional beneficial conversion feature of $3,360,905 as a
discount to the notes and additional paid in capital, which is being amortized
as interest expense over the remaining term of the notes commencing April 1,
2008. As a result of the reduction of the conversion price to $4.20 in
March 2009, the Company recorded an additional beneficial conversion feature of
$3,862,000 as a discount to the notes and additional paid-in capital, which is
being amortized over the remaining terms of the notes commencing April 1,
2009.





Mr. Huang
and Mr. Deng are also prohibited from transferring any shares, with limited
exceptions, until the investors shall have sold, singularly or in the aggregate,
more than 5% of the Company’s total outstanding equity on a fully-diluted
basis.





From the
closing date and as long as long as Abax Nai Xin A Lt. and Abax Jade Ltd.
(“Abax”), the note holders, continues to hold more than 5% of the outstanding
shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, (i) Abax shall be entitled to
appoint up to 20% of the voting members (or the next higher whole number if such
percentage does not yield a whole number) of the Company’s board of directors,
and (ii) if the Company fails to meet the net income requirements under the
indenture for the convertible notes, Abax has the right to appoint an additional
director. The Abax director shall be entitled to serve on each committee of the
board, except that, the Abax director shall not serve on the audit committee
unless he or she is an independent director. Mr. Huang and Mr. Deng have agreed
to vote their shares for the election of the Abax directors. The Company is
required to amend its by-laws to provide that a quorum for action by the board
shall include at least one Abax director.

As at
March 31, 2009, the weighted average exercise price for the above mentioned
warrants is $2.79. None of the outstanding warrants are subject to reset
provisions other than as a result of a stock distribution, split or dividend, a
reverse split or combination of shares or other recapitalization, and, in the
case of the warrants to purchase 455,359 shares of common stock issued in
the June 2006 private placement, sales of common stock at prices below the
exercise price. The warrants issued in the June 2006 private placement may be
treated as derivatives pursuant to EITF 07-5 commencing with the first quarter
of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. See Note 2-New Accounting
Pronouncements.





Stock
options





Pursuant
to the 2006 long-term incentive plan, each newly-elected independent director
receives, at the time of his or her election, a five-year option to purchase
15,000 shares of common stock at the fair market value on the date of his or her
election. The plan provides for the annual grant to each independent director of
an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock on the first trading day
in April of each calendar year, at market price. The options become exercisable
cumulatively as to fifty percent (50%) of the shares subject thereto six
months from the date of grant and as to the remaining fifty percent (50%),
eighteen months from the date of grant, and expire on the earlier of (i) five
years from the date of grant, or (ii) seven (7) months from the date such
independent director ceases to be a director if such independent director ceases
to be a director other than as a result of his death or
disability.





Pursuant
to the automatic grant provisions, on April 1, 2008, the four independent
directors were granted stock options to purchase a total of 10,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $5.80 per share, being the fair market
value on the date of grant.

share-based compensation expense during the three months and six months ended

operations as general and administrative expense.




18.  Basic
and Diluted Earnings Per Share





Earnings
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (“SFAS No. 128”), “Earnings per share.” Basic earnings per
share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the
assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, stock options and
warrants were converted or exercised. The number of shares included in
determining diluted earnings per share is computed by applying the treasury
stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be
exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later),
with the funds obtained thereby being used to purchase common stock at the
average market price during the period.





The
details for the fully diluted outstanding shares for the six months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Convertible
notes, warrants and options are anti-dilutive for both the three and six months
ended March 31, 2009 and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share for the period.

Commitments and Contingencies




The
Company and New Energy, formed Hubei Gather to construct and operate natural gas
process plants with expected annual processing capacity of 100-300 million cubic
meters in Hubei Province. The registered capital is $5 million of which the
Company will contribute $4 million as an 80% equity owner and New Energy will
contribute $1 million for a 20% interest. The term of the business of Hubei
Gather is from March 23, 2007 to March 22, 2027. As of March 31, 2009, the
Company’s commitment for future funding was $2,625,000.




In the
normal course of our business the Company issues purchase orders for equipment
for its CNG stations and well as for components for its products.  At March
31, 2009, there were no significant outstanding purchase orders.

Retirement Benefits




The
full-time contracted employees of the Company are entitled to welfare benefits,
including medical care, labor injury insurance, housing benefits, education
benefits, unemployment insurance and pension benefits through a Chinese
government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan.  The
Company is required to accrue the employer-portion for these benefits based on
certain percentages of the employees’ salaries.  The total provision
for such employee benefits was $102,639 and $50,919 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $203,733 and $119,804 for the six
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was recorded as other
payables. The PRC government is responsible for the staff welfare benefits
including medical care, casualty, housing benefits, unemployment insurance and
pension benefits to be paid to these employees. The Company is responsible for
the education benefits to be paid.





From time
to time, the Company may hire some part time workers or short term workers to
satisfy temporary labor shortage. Those workers have the right to terminate
their work to the Company at any time. For those part time non-contracted
workers, it is difficult for the Company to accurately record the working time,
total wages and then accrue welfare benefits. Based on the common practice in
the PRC, the Company treats those workers as probationary employees, and does
not accrue welfare benefits for them. Although the Company believes that it is
treating these employees in accordance with applicable law, it is possible that
the government may require the Company to accrue the welfare benefit and may
assess a penalty for the under-accrual.





21.
 Significant Concentrations




In the
CNG station facilities and construction segment, the Company manufactures, sells
and installs CNG vehicle and gas station equipment. The Company provides
products for third party companies that operate fixed and/or mobile CNG filling
stations and it designs the CNG station construction plans, constructs CNG
stations, and installs CNG station equipment and related systems.





These
products and services are designed to meet the customer
specifications.  Sales in this segment are dependent upon the Company
developing a continuing stream of business so that we will not incur a
significant lag between the time we complete one contract and start
another.  Although we do not have a long history of operations in this
business, we anticipate that our major customers will vary from period to
period.





In the
three months ended March 31, 2009, one customer of our station facilities and
construction segment accounted for 23.6% of our total sales and at March 31,
2009, approximately 53.4% of our accounts receivable was from this
customer.





In the
three months ended March 31, 2008, two customers of our station facilities and
construction segment each accounted for more than 10% of our total
sales.  These customers, who purchased CNG truck trailers, accounted
for approximately 40.5% of total sales.  At March 31, 2008,
approximately 28.5% of our accounts receivable were from these
customers.  The following table sets forth information as to the sales
generated from each of these customers for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS





The
following discussion of the results of our operations and financial condition
should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related
notes, which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following
discussion includes forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important
factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in the
forward-looking statements, see “Forward Looking Statements.”




FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS





This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations,
strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future
activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on
current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in
part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely
to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the
forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described
above and those risks discussed from time to time in this quarterly report,
including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in
this Form 10-Q as well as any other filings we make with the SEC. In addition,
such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to the
ability to conduct business in the PRC, product demand, including our ability to
continue to be in compliance with the financial covenants under the indentures
relating to our senior debt, our ability to collect outstanding accounts
receivable, the demand for CNG and our conversion kits, our ability to develop,
construct and operate a CNG station business, our ability to raise any financing
which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and
requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make
acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as
well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and
general economic conditions as well as economic conditions that affect the
natural gas industry. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of
the date this annual report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date this quarterly report is filed to
conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.





OVERVIEW





We
design, manufacture and market a range of pressurized containers for CNG.
Although our initial business involved the manufacturing of customized equipment
and pressure containers, our business has evolved as an increasing market is
developing in the PRC for the use of CNG. Our CNG vehicle and gas station
construction business consists of two divisions (i) the manufacturing of CNG
vehicle and gas station equipment, and (ii) the design of construction plans
for CNG stations, the construction of the CNG stations, and the
installation of CNG station equipment and related systems.





We
continue to manufacture a wide variety of pressure containers for use in
different industries, including the design and manufacture of various types of
pressure containers in the petroleum and chemical industries, the metallurgy and
electricity generation industries and the food and brewery industries and have
the capacity to design and manufacture various types of customized
equipment.





All of
our products and services are manufactured or performed pursuant to agreements
with our customers, which provide the specifications for the products and
services. We do not sell our products from inventory. As a result, our revenue
is dependent upon the flow of contracts. In any fiscal period, a small
number of customers may represent a disproportionately large percentage of our
business in one period and a significantly lower percentage, if any, in a
subsequent period.





Commencing
in 2006, we began to construct CNG stations and, commencing in 2008, we began to
operate CNG stations. This aspect of our business is different from our other
business. The business of operating CNG stations requires a substantial capital
investment.  For this segment, we raised approximately $30 million
from the sale of convertible and fixed rate notes in September 2007. The
indentures relating to these notes have restrictions on our incurring additional
debt. The nature of the operation of the business and the risks associated with
that business are significantly different from the manufacturing of equipment or
the construction of CNG stations for third parties. One aspect of the operation
of CNG stations is the price controls, whereby both the price at which we
purchase CNG and the price at which we sell CNG are subject to price controls by
central government and municipal governments. As a result of these price
controls, our gross margin is effectively dependent upon the governments’
pricing policies. The operation of CNG stations is reported as a separate
segment.

During
2007, we entered into two agreements to form joint ventures for the operation of
natural gas processing plants. We have a majority interest in one of these two
ventures and a minority interest in the other. At March 31, 2009, our total
commitments under these agreements were approximately $5.0 million, of which we
had paid a total of approximately $2.4 million. These two companies are in the
early construction stage, and neither of these ventures has commenced
operations. We also have contracted with an unrelated party for the purchase of
natural gas which is to be delivered through a pipeline that is presently under
construction and is expected to be completed during the first half of 2009.
These contracts do not have specific delivery quantities or prices, all of which
are to be determined later, and the delivery of natural gas through this
pipeline is dependent upon the completion of the pipeline.  We cannot
assure you that the pipeline will be completed as scheduled or that the operator
will be able to deliver natural gas in the quantity contemplated by the
agreement.




In early
2007, we established a division to sell and manufacture CNG vehicle conversion
kits to OEM’s and aftermarket customers. These kits are designed to enable a
gasoline powered vehicle to operate on CNG. We began to generate revenue from
this business segment in the second quarter of calendar 2007. Lixun designs and
manufactures electric control devices for alternative fuel, such as compressed
natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas vehicles, as well as a full range of
electric devices, such as computer controllers, conversion switches, spark
advancers, tolerance sensors and emulators for use in multi-powered
vehicles.  The business of manufacturing electronic parts for vehicle
conversion kits as well as producing conversion kits is reported as a separate
segment.





Our CNG
vehicle and gas station equipment business include two product
lines:




•
            the
      manufacturing of equipment for CNG vehicles and gas stations
      and





•
            the
      design of CNG station and construction plans, construction of CNG stations
      and installation of CNG station equipment and related
    systems.




Steel and
steel tubing are the major raw material used in manufacturing CNG facilities and
gas station equipment. We purchase steel plate from a Chinese domestic
manufacturer, and we believe that alternative suppliers are available. We had
purchased steel bottles, a key raw material for CNG truck trailers, from an
Italian supplier, which carried the risk of delays that could interrupt our
manufacturing process. Beginning in May 2007, we also began to purchase steel
tubes from the PRC domestic market and engaged a Korean company to manufacture
the bottles from the steel tubes, and in August 2007, we engaged a PRC company
to manufacture these bottles. Although we believe that we have reduced the risks
of interruption of our manufacturing process, we cannot eliminate the risk
entirely.





Our
functional currency is RMB, which is the currency of the PRC, and our reporting
currency is United States dollars. In addition, our purchases from our Italian
supplier are in Euros. When we discuss the amount of our future obligations, we
convert RMB or Euros to dollars at the current exchange rate. However, since the
payment will be made in the future, the amount paid in United States dollars may
be different from the amount set forth in this report as a result of
fluctuations in the currency rates.





The
growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and
economic sectors. Following a period of general economic growth, China, like the
rest of the world, has recently been subject to an economic
downturn.  There can be no assurance that the downturn will not have a
negative effect on our business especially if it results in either a decreased
use of products such as ours or in pressure on us to lower our prices. Our
customized pressure container business and our CNG station facilities and
construction business are dependent upon our customers making significant
capital purchases, either for pressure containers or for new CNG
stations.  The availability of financing to our customers as well as
the capital requirements of our customers could significantly reduce the need
for these products and services.  Since our CNG station business is
dependent upon the development of a market for cars and trucks that run on CNG
rather than gasoline, any economic trends which have the effect of dampening the
market for CNG vehicles could affect our ability both to sell our CNG products
and to sell CNG at our proposed CNG stations. The recent sharp decline in oil
and gasoline prices may affect the need for both CNG stations and conversion
kits that enable gasoline-powered vehicles to operate on
CNG.  Although the government of China has encouraged the use of CNG
as part of its effort to reduce pollution in China, the factors described above
may affect the development of the CNG industry in China.  We cannot
predict whether or how these factors will affect the market for CNG in the areas
in which we are constructing and operating our CNG filling stations or the
market for our CNG station construction services and our conversion
kits.





During
the six months ended March 31, 2009, our accounts receivable increased by $8.2
million, from $22.0 million to $30.2 million.  As a result of
competitive market pressures during a period of financial uncertainties, we
extended very favorable payment terms for customers of CNG
equipment.  At September 30, 2008, our accounts receivable were
outstanding for an average of 124 days, and at March 31, 2009, our accounts
receivable were outstanding for an average of 208 days.  A significant
amount of our receivables that were outstanding at September 30, 2008 remained
outstanding on March 31, 2009. Although the government of the PRC has announced
a stimulus package which can be used by our customers to enable them to make
payments to us, we cannot require our customers to use any of the available
programs.   Our ability to develop our business may be impaired
in the event that we do not receive payments from our customers in a timely
manner.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to collect our
accounts receivables in a timely manner, if at all, and the failure to collect
the accounts receivables is likely to impair our liquidity and our ability to
conduct our business.

On March
31, 2008, Sinogas entered into an agreement to sublease certain parcels of land
to Qingdao Mingcheng Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Qingdao Mingcheng”), an
non-affiliated third party, for a term of three years beginning in January 2008
and expiring on December 31, 2010, at an annual rental of RMB40 million,
equivalent to approximately $5.9 million based on the March 31, 2009 exchange
rate. As a result of the failure of Qingdao Mingcheng to make the required
rental payments, on March 31, 2009, Sinogas signed a memorandum of understanding
with Qingdao Mingcheng pursuant to which Sinogas agreed to a termination of the
sublease, and reduced the rental receivable by 40%, or $1.8 million, which is
reflected in general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31,
2009. The reduced rental is now payable in quarterly installments over a
one-year period commencing June 30, 2009. To the extent that the Qingdao
Mingcheng is unable to make the reduced payments, we have to take further
writeoffs.





RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS





We are
engaged in four business segments:





(i)
Customized pressure container business:





Our
customized equipment and pressure container business is a traditional chemical
equipment manufacturing business with low profit margin. It includes design and
manufacturing of various types of pressure containers for industries such as the
petroleum and chemical, metallurgy, electricity generation and food and
beverage industries.




(ii)
CNG Station Facilities and Construction





Our CNG
station construction business represents:




▪
            The
      manufacture and installation of CNG vehicle and gas station equipment that
      is used in the transportation and storage of CNG and the operation of a
      CNG station. We provide these services for other companies that operate
      CNG stations.




▪
            CNG
      station construction service, which includes the design of CNG station
      construction plans, construction of CNG stations, and installation of CNG
      station equipment and related systems. The gross margin for CNG gas
      stations technical consulting service was high, as a result of our
      know-how in CNG system design and the absence of significant competition.
      Because of our emergence into the CNG filling station business, we did not
      receive any CNG station construction service orders from the beginning of
      2007. We anticipate that, at least in the near term, we will devote most,
      if not all, of our CNG construction business to the construction of our
      own CNG filling stations.





(iii)
CNG station operations




In 2006,
we entered the CNG station business, which involves the design, construction and
equipping of CNG stations and the operation of those stations.  As of
May 10, 2009, we were operating nineteen CNG stations, of which fourteen
are located in Wuhan, two in Pingdingshan and three in
Xuancheng.




(iv)
Vehicle fuel conversion equipment




We
manufacture conversion kits and electrical control devices that enable vehicles
that are designed to operate on gasoline to operate on CNG.

Net Sales. Net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 (“March 2009 quarter”) were approximately $7.0
million, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million, or 10%, from sales of
approximately $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (“March
2008 quarter”).  This decrease resulted from:




•
            A
      decrease of approximately $1.1 million, or 62%, in sales from customized
      pressure containers, reflecting the effects of the financial crisis
      on the development of manufacturing enterprises. We made no sales on the
      bio-diesel equipment in the March 2009 quarter, as compared with $0.9
      million sales from bio-diesel equipment in March 2008
    quarter.•
            A
      decrease of approximately $2.1 million, or 55%, in sales from the CNG
      stations facilities and construction, reflecting a decrease in demand
      resulting largely from the economic downturn.•
            An
      increase of approximately $3.8 million due to ramping up of our CNG
      station operations. In the March 2008, we had only one CNG station in
      operation, while we had 19 stations in operation during the March 2009
      quarter.•
            A
      decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 69%, in sales from vehicle
      conversion kits, reflecting the effects of the economic downturn and a
      reduction in price of oil, which resulted in a reduced demand for vehicle
      conversion kits.




Cost of Sales; Gross
Margin.  Cost of sales for the March 2009 quarter was approximately
$5.5 million, an increase of approximately 37% from approximately $4.0 million
for the March 2008 quarter.  The CNG station operation segment
contributed $3.6 million of the total cost of sales reflecting the
increase in the number of stations we operated. Our overall gross margin
decreased from 48% to 21% from the March 2008 quarter to the March 2009
quarter for the following reasons:





•
            Our
      gross margin for the customized pressure containers deceased from 42% to
      19% because of price increases of raw materials.  We were not
      able to pass on all of these cost increases to our customers. In
      addition, we had no sales of bio-diesel equipment in March 2009
      quarter. These products carry a higher gross margin than our other
      pressure products.•
            Our
      gross margin for the CNG station facilities and construction decreased
      from 58% to 43% because of price increases for raw materials which we were
      not able to pass on to our customers.•
            The
      CNG station operation segment gross margin in the March 2009 quarter
      is 10%, which lowered the overall gross margin. During the March 2009
      quarter, the increase of freight cost, together with price control,
      lowered our gross margin in this
segment.




Selling
Expenses.  Selling expenses decreased approximately $64,000, or
approximately 46%, from the March 2009 quarter to the March 2008
quarter.  Our selling expenses relating to our CNG
operations increased because of the increase in the number of stations in
operations. This increase was more than offset by the writeoff of land rental
costs incurred in connection with a proposed CNG station for which the expenses
had been accrued but which will not be developed.





General and Administrative
Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $2.4 million.  A significant portion of this increase
resulted from a $1.8 million bad debt charge as a result of a writeoff of a
rental receivable. The expenses in CNG station operation increased
approximately $439,000 from the March 2008 quarter to the March 2009 quarter
because of the increase in the number of stations in operation. Our general and
administrative expenses include, in addition to the management expenses and
depreciation related to the division, an allocation of corporate expenses,
including expensesrelating to our status
as a public company, such as legal, audit and investor relations
costs.  Included in general and administrative expenses is non-cash
compensation expense of $74,000 in the March 2009 quarter and $119,206 in
the March 2008 quarter, for the value of stock options and warrants
issued.  General and administrative expense is allocated among the
segments based on the relative time devoted by management to the business of the
segments.




-27-




Interest
Expense.  Interest expense for the March 2009 quarter was
approximately $1.1 million, as compared with $720,000 for the March 2008
quarter. Most of this increase relates to interest on an increased level
of bank borrowing. Also, since interest is capitalized during the
construction stage, as a result of the decreased level of construction during
the March 2009 quarter, substantially all interest incurred was expensed in
the March 2009 quarter.





Other Income and Other
Expenses. During the March 2008 quarter, we recognized
rental income of approximately $1.2 million for the rental of the land
use rights for Sinogas’ former manufacturing facility. In March 2009, this
lease was terminated and we wrote off approximately $1.8 million of the rental
receivable.




Income Taxes.  The
income tax provision decreased approximately $119,000, from March 2008
quarter to March 2009 quarter, which reflects the decrease in income before
income taxes mainly for Sinogas and Yuheng and an effective tax rate of
12.5%.




Minority
Interest.  The minority interest represents the share of the
income of our subsidiaries allocated to that portion of the subsidiaries’ equity
owned by third parties.  It changed from a $61,000 charge in the
March 2008 quarter to income of $429,000 in the March 2009 quarter because
for the loss incurred by Sinogas, Yuheng and Jiaxing.





Net Income.  As a
result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of approximately $2.8 million, or
$0.18 per share (basic and diluted), for the March 2009 quarter, as compared
with net income of approximately $2.8 million, or $0.18 per share (basic) and
$0.15 (diluted), for the March 2008 quarter.




Comprehensive
Income.  Comprehensive income was approximately $624,000 for
the March 2009 quarter as compared with approximately $2.8 million for the March
2008 quarter.  The comprehensive income in both periods reflects
foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from changes in the currency
rates between the RMB and the United States dollar.

Net Sales. Net sales for the
six months ended March 31, 2009 (“the fist half year of 2009”) were
approximately $22.9 million, an increase of approximately $6.4 million, or 38%,
from sales of approximately $16.5 million for the six months ended March 31,
2008 (“the first half year of 2008”).  This increase resulted
from:




•
            An
      increase of approximately $8.4 million was due to the expansion of our CNG
      station operations. In the first half year of 2008, we had only one CNG
      station in operation, while in the first half year of 2009, we had 19
      stations in operation.   -28-
  •
            A
      decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 31%, in sales from vehicle
      conversion kits, reflecting the effects of the economic downturn and a
      reduction in price of oil, which resulted in a reduced demand for vehicle
      conversion kits.




Cost of Sales;Gross Margin. The cost of
sales for the first half year of 2009 was approximately $16.6 million, an
increase of approximately 87% from approximately $7.7 million for the first half
year of 2008.  The CNG station operation segment contributed
$7.2 million of the total cost of sales. Our overall gross margin
decreased from 46% to 27% from the first half year of 2008 to the first half
year of 2009 for the following reasons:





•
            Our
      gross margin for the customized pressure containers deceased from 42% to
      27% because of price increases of raw materials.  We were not
      able to pass on all of these cost increase to our customers. In
      addition, we had no sales of bio-diesel equipment in first half year of
      2009. These products carry a higher gross margin than our other pressure
      products.•
            Our
      gross margin for the CNG station facilities and construction decreased
      from 53% to 40% because of the price increases for raw materials which we
      were not able to pass on to our customers.•
            The
      CNG station operation segment gross margin in the first half year of
      2009 is 15%, which lowered the overall gross
      margin.  During the first half year of 2009, the increase
      of freight costs, together with price control, lowered our gross margin in
      this segment. Also, during both the first half year of 2009 and the first
      half year of 2008, we did not operate a mother
  station.




Selling
Expenses.  Selling expenses increased approximately $294,000,
or approximately 100%, from the first half year of 2008 to the first half
year of 2009.  The increase mainly related to the CNG station
operations, because of the increase in the number of stations in operation, as
well as the vehicle conversion kits segment.





General and Administrative
Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $2.8 million.  A significant portion of this increase
resulted from a $1.8 million bad debt charge as a result of a writeoff of a
rental receivable. The expenses in CNG station operation increased
approximately $739,000 because of the increase in the number of stations in
operation. Our general and administrative expenses include, in addition to the
management expenses and depreciation related to the division, an allocation of
corporate expenses, including expensesrelating to our status
as a public company, such as legal, audit and investor relations
costs.  Included in general and administrative expenses is non-cash
compensation expense of $157,000 in the first half year of 2009 and
$190,839 in the first half year of 2008, for the value of stock options and
warrants issued.  General and administrative expense is allocated
among the segments based on the relative time devoted by management to the
business of the segments.





Interest
Expense.  Interest expense for the first half year of 2009
was approximately $2.3 million, as compared with $1.3 million for the first half
year of 2008.  Most of this increase related to interest on bank
borrowing. Also, since interest is capitalized during the construction stage, as
a result of the decreased level of construction during the first half year of
2009, substantially all interest incurred was expensed in the first half year of
2009.





Other Income and Other
Expenses.  During the first half year of 2009, we recognized
rental income of approximately $1.2 million for the rental of the land use
rights for Sinogas’s former manufacturing facility. In March 2009, this lease
was terminated and we wrote off approximately $1.8 million of the rent
receivable.





Income Taxes.  The
income tax provision was $614,000 in the first half year of 2009,
which reflects the increase of income before income taxes mainly for Sinogas and
Yuheng and an effective tax rate of 12.5%. During the first half year of
2008, Sinogas and Jiaxing benefited from a 100% tax exemption for the three
months ended December 31, 2007.




Minority
Interest.  The minority interest represents the share of the
income of our subsidiaries allocated to that portion of the subsidiaries’ equity
owned by third parties.  It increased from $173,000 to $526,000, from
the first half year of 2008 to the first half year of 2009.





Net Income.  As a
result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of approximately negative $1.1
million, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted) for the first half year of 2009,
as compared with net income of approximately $5.2 million, or $0.33 per share
(basic) and $0.27 (diluted) for the first half year of 2008.




Comprehensive
Income.  Comprehensive income was approximately $463,000 for
the first half year of 2009 as compared with approximately $3.7 million for the
first half year of 2008.  The comprehensive income in both periods
reflects foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from changes in the
currency rates between the RMB and the United States dollar.

Our
largest current assets are our accounts and notes receivable and other
receivables.  The accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 were $27.1
million.  These accounts receivables are outstanding for an average of
208 days, as compared with 124 days at September 30, 2008. The increase in
accounts receivable reflects the nature of the competition as well as the
economy, with customers seeking and receiving a longer period to make
payments.   A significant portion of the accounts receivable that
were outstanding at September 30, 2008 remained outstanding at March 31, 2009.
Also, other receivables at September 30, 2008 included a rent receivable of $2.9
million. In March 2009, we wrote off $1.8 million of the rent receivable and
took a note for the balance. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
collect these accounts or other receivables in a timely manner, and our
inability to collect our receivables could impair our liquidity and our ability
to conduct our business.





Other
receivables were $10.0 million at March 31, 2009 and $17.0 at September 30,
2008.  Other receivables at March 31, 2009, include (1) $3.7
million as a unsecured interest free receivables relating to payments which we
made in connection with a bid we made with a non-affiliated company for a
project to provide a bio-diesel fuel manufacturing facility, and (2) $5.3
million for unsecured interest free note receivables which we accepted in
respect to accounts receivables.





For the
first half year of 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million.
The changes in working capital for the first half year of 2009, were primarily
related to a $8.2 million increase in accounts receivable which resulted from
the increase in our business and longer period during which our accounts
receivables (principally those generated by Sinogas) are outstanding, a $5.1
million decrease in other payables, and offset by a $3.3 decrease of deposit and
prepayment, and a $3.5 million increase of inventories.





We used
approximately $14.0 million in investing activities for the first half year of
2009, primarily due to the expansion of our CNG station operations,
principally for purchase of property, plant and equipment of $10.2 million,
purchase of land use right of $2.1 million, and $1.4 million to invest in the
unconsolidated entities.




Net cash
provided by financing activities was $10.9 million for the first half year of
2009, solely related loans from domestic banks in China.





For
the first half year of 2008, we generated cash flow of approximately $1.0
million from our operations, and we used approximately $34.3 million for
investments, consisting of payments of approximately $24.5 million for the
purchase of property, plant and equipment, including the purchase of land use
rights, and approximately $9.4 million to purchase a portion of the minority
interest in some of our subsidiaries.





We
generated approximately $29.8 million cash from issuance of 12% guaranteed
senior notes and 3% guaranteed convertible notes, and we repaid approximately
$596,000 short term bank loans.




-30-




We
believe that, as long as the holders of $16 million principal amount of
guaranteed senior notes and $14 million principal amount of guaranteed senior
convertible notes do not seek to accelerate payment of the notes, our working
capital, together with cash flow expected to be generated from our
operations, will provide us with the funds necessary to continue to develop our
business, which, because of efforts to develop the CNG station business, is very
cash intensive.  However, to the extent that we are unable to collect
the accounts and notes receivable or other receivables, we may not have the cash
to develop our business.  We will continue to incur capital
expenditures for the CNG station segment in the future. Because the CNG business
in the PRC is a relatively new industry, it is necessary for us to plan,
construct and equip each CNG station before we can generate any
revenue.





The
indentures relating to the issuance of $16 million principal amount of
guaranteed senior notes and $14 million principal amount of guaranteed senior
convertible notes have covenants which could impair our ability to raise
additional funds if we require the funds either to develop or expand our present
businesses, primarily the CNG station business, or to make acquisitions. 
These covenants, as amended through May 19, 2009, include the
following:




•
            We
      cannot incur any debt unless, after (i) giving effect to the borrowing,
      either (a) the fixed charge coverage ratio would be greater than 2.00 to
      1.00 through December 31, 2009 and 3.0 to 1.00 thereafter, and (b) the
      leverage ratio would not exceed 6.0 to 1.00 through December 31, 2009 and
      4.5 to 1.00 thereafter, or (ii) the debt is permitted debt. The fixed
      charge coverage ratio is the ratio of our earnings before interest, taxes,
      depreciation and amortization, which is generally known as EBITDA, to
      consolidated interest expense, as defined. Leverage ratio means the ratio
      of outstanding debt to EBITDA, with the interest component being the
      consolidated interest expense, as defined.  Permitted debt
      includes indebtedness of Sinogas of up to $10 million and certain purchase
      money indebtedness.




•
            We
      must maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (i) a fixed
      charge coverage ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00 through December 31,
      2009 and 3.0 to 1.00 thereafter, (ii) a leverage ratio of not more than
      6.0 to 1.00 through December 31, 2009 and 4.5 to 1.00 thereafter, and
      (iii) a consolidated subsidiary debt to consolidated net tangible asset
      ratio of not more than 0.35.•
            We
      are subject to restriction in paying dividends, purchasing our own
      securities or those of our subsidiaries, prepaying subordinated debt, and
      making any investment other any investments in our own business and our
      subsidiaries engaged in our business and certain other permitted
      investments.•
            We
      are subject to restrictions on incurring
liens.





As of March
31, 2009, the fixed charge coverage ratio is 2.26 to 1, the leverage ratio is
5.78 to 1, the consolidated subsidiary debt to consolidated net tangible asset
ratio was 0.28, which were met the requirements of the covenants, as
amended.





The
indenture relating to the 3% senior convertible notes provides for an adjustment
in the conversion rate if we do not generate net income for the year ended
December 31, 2008 of $14.0 million, based upon our audited financial statements
for that year. We changed our fiscal year from the calendar year to the year
ended September 30, effective with the year ended September 30, 2007. Since we
do not have audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008,
which covers parts of two fiscal years, as of the date of this report, we have
not determined our net income, as defined in the indenture, for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2008.





The
registration rights agreement with the holders of the convertible notes required
us to have a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the notes effective by March 28, 2008. We failed to meet that
date. As a consequence, beginning March 28, 2008, for each 90 day period that we
fail to have the registration statement declared effective, we must pay
additional interest of $140,000, which is 1% of the principal amount of the
notes. Through March 23, 2009, we had accrued additional interest of $560,000,
of which $280,000 has been paid and $280,000 remained outstanding. If we fail to
have the registration statement declared effective by June 21, 2009, an
additional payment of $140,000 will become due.





We
believe that we will have the financial ability to make all payments on the
convertible notes and the senior notes based on the original terms set forth in
the indentures, including payments of principal, interest, and additional
interest, and we intend to make those payments. However, although we have
working capital of approximately $24.4 million, more than $40 million of our
current assets are represented by receivables, many of which have been
outstanding for a significant period of time. If we are not able to collect our
accounts and notes receivable and other receivables in a timely manner, we may
have difficulty in making the required payments as well as funding our
operations. If we are unable to make the payments as and when required under the
indentures, the noteholders may exercise the remedies available under the
indentures, including the right to accelerate payment of the notes in the total
principal amount of $30.0 million. If the noteholders accelerate payment, we may
be unable to continue in business unless we obtain replacement financing, which
may not be available to us.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES




Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.





Use of
Estimates.In preparing financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
we are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include depreciation
and the allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, asset impairment,
valuation of warrants and options and inventory valuation, and the determination
of revenue and costs for under the percentage of completion method of revenue
recognition.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Revenue
Recognition.  We recognize revenue when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, including
factors such as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured.  We recognize product sales upon delivery. CNG
station construction and revenue related to building technical consulting
service is recognized on the percentage of completion basis. The percentage of
completion method recognizes income as work on a contract (or group of closely
related contracts) progresses.  The recognition of revenues and
profit is generally related to costs incurred in providing the services required
under the contract. Revenue is presented net of any sales tax and
VAT.





Stock-Based
Compensation. We grant stock options and stock grants to employees and
stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions
for services and for financing costs.  We have adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,” which establishes a fair value method of accounting for
share-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of
stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured at
the grant date. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line
basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive benefit, which is
generally the vesting period. In some cases, our principal stockholder, which is
owned by our chief executive officer and our chairman, both of whom are
directors, provided or agreed to provide stock to executive officers in
connection with their employment.  These shares are treated as if the
shares were contributed to us and issued by us.  The value of the
shares is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.





Foreign Currency
Translation.  Ourfunctional
currency is RMB, and our reporting currency is United States dollars. Our
balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect
at the balance sheet date and operating accounts are translated using the
average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are
translated using the historical rate as incurred. Translation gains and losses
are deferred and accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from
exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as
incurred.





Capitalization of
Interest.  We capitalize interest incurred in connection with
the construction of assets, principally our CNG stations, during the
construction period.  Capitalized interest is recorded as an increase
to construction in progress and, upon completion of the construction, to
property.




NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”).
SFAS No. 141(R) requires an entity to recognize the assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent
consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date.  Subsequent
changes to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration will be
reflected in earnings until the contingency is settled. 
SFAS No. 141(R) also requires acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of
the purchase price. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 140 on
October 1, 2009, which will apply to business combinations completed on or after
that date.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.




-32-




In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements” to improve the relevance, comparability, and
transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all
entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the
same way as required in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS
No. 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for
transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be
treated as equity transactions. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS
No. 160 on October 1, 2009.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 may have
on  its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows upon adoption.


In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement
133.” SFAS No. 161 provides new disclosure requirements for an entity’s
derivative and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 was adopted by the Company
on January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have an impact on
the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.





In
April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP FAS 142-3). This
position amends the factors an entity should consider when developing renewal or
extension assumptions used in determining the useful life over which to amortize
the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own
historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in
determining the amortizable useful life. Additionally, this position requires
expanded disclosure regarding renewable intangible assets.  The
Company will be required to adopt FSP FAS 142-3 on October 1,
2009.  Earlier adoption is not permitted.  The guidance for
determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective
date.





At its
June 25, 2008 meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the
consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 Determining Whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock  (EITF
07-5).  The adoption of EITF 07-5’s requirements will affect accounting for
convertible instruments and warrants with down-round provisions. 
Down-round provisions are designed to protect an investor in the event the
issuer issues securities at a lower price or with a lower exercise or conversion
price.  Convertible instruments and warrants which are derivatives and
have such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity.  EITF 07-5 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier
application by an entity that has previously adopted an alternative accounting
policy is not permitted.  The Company will be required to adopt EITF 07-5
commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2009, which is the first quarter
of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.  To the extent that the
Company’s convertible notes and certain of its warrants are outstanding on
December 31, 2009, the Company will reflect as a derivative liability the fair
value of the derivate component of these securities and will reflect a gain or
loss for the derivative liability based on the change in value of the derivative
liability during each fiscal quarter during which the instruments are
outstanding.




Item
4. Controls and Procedures




It is the
responsibility of management to establish and maintain adequate internal
controls over our financial reporting.  Management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.





Conclusion
Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





Under the
supervision and with the participation of management, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer have carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.  Based upon that evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that there were material
weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of
the period covered by this report as a result of which our disclosure controls
and procedures may not be effective.  In making this assessment, our
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework. Our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008,
our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on these
criteria.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
identified weaknesses related to our accounting personnel’s ability to identify
various accounting and disclosure issues, account for transactions that include
an equity-based component, and prepare financial statements and footnotes in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Until June 2006, we were a privately-owned
company engaged with all of our assets and operations located in China, and our
financial statements were prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP.  Since
we became a publicly-traded company, we have significantly expanded the
scope of our business, so that we presently have four business
segments.  We have also engaged in two financings, entered into joint
ventures, acquired and disposed of companies and assets, and granted
equity-based incentives.  All of these events presented complex
accounting issues which were new to our financial staff.  Furthermore,
we do not have a large accounting department and it has been difficult for us to
hire qualified personnel who understand English and Chinese and are
familiar with both U.S. GAAP and PRC GAAP.  We are addressing
these issues by reviewing and revising our internal accounting policies and
procedures, expanding the resources allocated to our accounting department, and
hiring outside accounting advisors.  We expect resolution of these
matters may take several months.  Accordingly, based on the foregoing,
the certifying officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are not effective at this time.




-33-




The
conclusion of chief executive officer and chief financial officer regarding our
disclosure controls and procedures is based solely on management’s conclusion
that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective.




Our
material weaknesses related to:




•
            an
      insufficient complement of personnel in our corporate accounting and
      financial reporting function with an appropriate level of technical
      accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of US
      GAAP commensurate with our complex financial accounting and reporting
      requirements and materiality
thresholds.





•
            Lack
      of internal audit function – the monitoring function of internal
      control is not well performed due to insufficient capable resources. In
      addition, the scope and effectiveness of internal audit function are yet
      to be developed.•
            Insufficient
      or lack of written policies and procedures relating to periodic review of
      current policies and procedures and their
  implementation.




Our
deficiency related to the lack of adequate training of employees, especially
those recently hired, on our accounting policies and our antifraud
programs.




Remediation
and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting




The
Company has discussed the material weaknesses and deficiency in its internal
control over financial reporting with the audit committee of the board of
directors and is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans
to address the material weaknesses and deficiency in our internal control over
financial reporting. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and the six
months ended March 31, 2009, management conducted a program to plan the
remediation of all identified deficiencies using a risk-based approach based on
the “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by COSO. These plans
contemplate various changes in processes, procedures, policy, training and
organizational design, and are currently being implemented. In addition, the
Company intends to hire and/or appoint new managers in the accounting area
and/or engage accounting professionals from external resources to address
internal control weaknesses related to technical accounting.




The
following specific remedial actions are currently in process, to address the
material weaknesses and deficiency in our internal control over financial
reporting described above:




•
            Reorganize
      and restructure our corporate accounting staff by:•
            revising
      the reporting structure and establishing clear roles, responsibilities,
      and accountability;•
            hiring
      additional technical accounting personnel to address our complex
      accounting and financial reporting requirements;•
            assessing
      the technical accounting capabilities at our subsidiaries to ensure the
      right complement of knowledge, skills, and training;
and•
            establishing
      internal audit functions,•
            Improve
      period-end closing procedures by:•
            ensuring
      that account reconciliations and analyses for significant financial
      statement accounts are reviewed for completeness and accuracy by qualified
      accounting personnel;•
            implementing
      a process that ensures the timely review and approval of complex
      accounting estimates by qualified accounting personnel and subject matter
      experts, where appropriate;•
            developing
      better monitoring controls for corporate accounting and at our
      subsidiaries;•
            documenting
      and implementing antifraud programs and controls as well as comprehensive
      risk assessment of procedures, programs and controls;
  and•
            making
      efforts to develop written policies and procedures, but the progress has
      been slowed due to limited resources and personnel
  changes.




During
2008, we hired an internal audit manager and, we will increase our efforts to
hire qualified personnel.  We anticipate that we will be able to
complete the remediation before September 30, 2009.
