 EXPLANATORY NOTE
  This amendment on Form 10-Q/A (the "Amendment") amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (the "Company"), as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 14, 2011 (the "Original Report").   The purpose of this Amendment is to (i) amend and restate our financials to reflect warrants exercised during the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that were not correctly recorded.  When warrants were exercised we did not debit warrant derivative liability expense (a non-cash charge) for $4,589 thousands and credited common stock for the same amount. Consequently, we have understated common stock and warrant derivative liability expenses; (ii) amend fully dilutive earnings per share to correctly apply the treasury stock method when computing dilution.  Under this method warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  Consequently, we have overstated the fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.  The fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were 103,136,580 and 101,216,165 for the six and three month ended December 31, 2010, respectively; and, (iii) amend certain disclosure in Item 2 to reflect the foregoing financial changes.  This Amendment amends and restates the Original Report in its entirety in order to provide a complete and more accurate presentation.

 Footnotes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
 Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) is an energy company engaged in the wholesale distribution of finished petroleum products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  The Company’s oil and gas operations consist of transporting, storage and selling finished petroleum products, entirely in the PRC.  The Company purchases diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and solvents (the “Products”) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. The Company’s headquarters are located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province (“Taiyuan”). The Company has a storage capacity for its Products of 120,000 metric tons located at its fuel depot storage facilities in Taiyuan and in Gujiao, Shanxi (“Gujiao”), 50,000 metric tons and 70,000 metric tons of capacity respectively at each location. The Gujiao facility was acquired in January of 2009 and commenced operations in January of 2010. The Company is 1 of 3 licensed intermediaries in Taiyuan and the sole licensed intermediary in Gujiao that operates its own large scale storage tanks. The Company has the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. The Company seeks to earn profits by selling its Products at competitive prices with timely delivery to coal mining operations, power supply customers, large-scale gas stations and small, independent gas stations. The Company also earns revenue under an agency fee by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi, and through limited sales of diesel and gasoline at two retail gas stations, each located at the Company’s facilities. The sales price and the cost basis of the Company’s products are largely dependent on regulations and price control measures instituted and controlled by the PRC government as well as the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.
 
 The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc.  On October 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited.
 
 Control by Principal Shareholders
 
 The Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties, own beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets or business.
 
 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
 In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.  All accounting references have been updated and therefore, FASB references have been replaced with ASC references.
 
 The Company operates in two segments in accordance with accounting guidance FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.  Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by FASB ASC Topic 280.
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
 The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with GAAP.  Many of our estimates and assumptions involved in the application of GAAP may have a material impact on reported financial condition, and operation performance and on the comparability of such reported information over different reporting periods. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Information





The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at June 30, 2010 as filed in the Company Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.





Use of Estimates





The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  We base these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.  These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.  The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.





Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income





The accounts of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are maintained in the PRC Renminbi (“RMB”) and the accounts of the US parent company are maintained in the US Dollar (“USD”).   The accounts of the PRC subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, with the RMB as the functional currency for the PRC subsidiaries.  According to ASC 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates; and statement of income items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220,Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.





Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders (i.e. issuance of equity securities and dividends).  Generally, for the Company, total comprehensive income equals net income plus or minus adjustments for currency translation. The gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income. The total comprehensive income represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was a gain of $6,278,080 and a gain of $133,063 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The total comprehensive income was a gain of $2,810,791 and a gain of $6,847 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Accumulated other comprehensive income related to the foreign currency translation in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $18,468,639 and $12,190,559 as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were translated at RMB 6.6118 to $1.00 USD and at RMB 6.8086 to $1.00 USD, respectively.  The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were at RMB 6.7226 to $1.00 USD and RMB 6.6670 to $1.00 USD, and RMB 6.8385 to $1.00 USD and RMB 6.8360 to $1.00 USD, respectively.

Concentration of Risk





Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions or state owned banks within the PRC, which do not provide for insurance against lost funds.  The Company also maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for banks located in the US.  Balances at financial institutions or state owned banks within the PRC are not insured and amounted to $12,419,226 and $9,959,080 at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010 the Company had cash balances of $2,304,754 in excess of federally insured limits in its US bank.  As of June 30, 2010 the Company did not have deposits in excess of federally insured limits in its US bank.  The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash in bank accounts.





The Company operates in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the USD and RMB.





The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC.  Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the United States and PRC, and by the general state of the economy in the PRC.  The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the US.  These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.  The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.





The Company is susceptible to credit risk on accounts receivable from customers and advances to suppliers.  Generally, the Company does not obtain security from its customers or vendors in support of these accounts.





Payments of dividends may be subject to some restrictions due to the fact that the operating activities are conducted in subsidiaries residing in the PRC.





Fair Value Measurements





Effective January 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments.





The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.





Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s warrant derivative liability and long-term debt.  The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.





·
Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.





·
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).





·
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).





The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs.  The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.  The Company had a warrant derivative liability carried at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2010.





The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as reported during the six months ended December 31, 2010, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.  For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion.  For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.





Valuation Techniques





The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of detachable common stock purchase warrants, namely the stock warrants issued in connection with the Company’s October 2009 Financing.  The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using a Lattice pricing model and available information that management deems most relevant.  Among the factors considered in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flow, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price and trading history of similarly traded securities, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments.





The Company did not identify any other non-recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 825.








Reclassification





Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009 in order to be comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2010-09 (ASC Topic 855), which amends Subsequent Events Recognition and Disclosures, ASU No. 2009-16 (ASC Topic 860), which amends Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets, ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-08, Earnings per Share, ASU No. 2009-12(ASC Topic 820), Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2010-19 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company, or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.





In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update, 2010-17, Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This is an update regarding the milestone method of revenue recognition. The scope of this update is limited to arrangements that include milestones relating to research or development deliverables. The update specifies criteria that must be met for a vendor to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. The criteria apply to milestones in arrangements within the scope of this update regardless of whether the arrangement is determined to have single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting.  The update will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after September 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Companies can apply this guidance prospectively to milestones achieved after adoption. However, retrospective application to all prior periods is also permitted. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update, 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This is an update regarding the effect of denominating the exercise price of a share-based payment awards in the currency of the market in which the underlying equity security trades and that currency is different from (1) entity’s functional currency, (2) functional currency of the foreign operation for which the employee provides services, and (3) payroll currency of the employee. The update clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should be considered an equity award assuming all other criteria for equity classification are met. The update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, will be applied prospectively. Affected entities will be required to record a cumulative catch-up adjustment for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the annual period in which the guidance is adopted. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.





Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.





NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES





The Company has no rent expense or lease commitments for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.





The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business, generally for quantities required for the Company’s business and at prevailing market prices.  No material annual loss is expected from these commitments.

NOTE 9 – PREFERRED STOCK - OCTOBER 2009 FINANCING





On October 29, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with several investors, including institutional, accredited and non-US persons and entities (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold units, comprised of its newly designated Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and warrants (the “Warrants”), for a purchase price of US$1.10 per unit (the “October 2009 Financing”).  The Company sold 13,499,274 units in the aggregate, which included (i) 13,499,274 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) Warrants to purchase an additional 13,499,274 shares of common stock at an exercise price of US$2.255 per share (the “Exercise Price”) with a three-year term.  Gross proceeds totaled $14,849,201, or net proceeds of $12,381,281 net of issuance costs of $2,467,920.  The Company’s placement agent also received 1,349,927 Warrants as part of their compensation under the same terms as the Investors.





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





F - 10





Accounting for the Warrants





The Company analyzed the Warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815 to determine whether the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC Topic 815 and, if so, whether the Warrants meet the scope exception of ASC Topic 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of ASC Topic 815.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40”) on July 1, 2009, which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by ASC Topic 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.  As a result of adopting ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the Company concluded that the Warrants issued in the October 2009 Financing should be treated as a derivative liability because the Warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the Conversion Price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable Exercise Price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision.  According to ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the “down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the Warrants to fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815. Therefore, the Company accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 815 (codification of EITF 00-19).  Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, derivatives should be measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings under the other income/expense in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting period.  During the six and three month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a loss on warrant re-valuation of $12,579,939 and $2,173,543, respectively.  During the six and three month period ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a loss on warrant re-valuation of $14,276,000 and $13,220,000.





Fair Value of the Warrants





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

In accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the gross proceeds of $14,849,201 from the October 2009 Financing were first allocated to the warrant derivative based on its fair value of $7,327,517 with the residual value of $7,521,684 allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock as of October 29, 2009.  The remeasured fair value of the Investor Warrants as of December 31, 2010 was $14,664,070.





Accounting for the Series A Preferred Stock





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

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE





FASB ASC Topic 260, earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations.





The Company only has common stock and the following convertible instruments outstanding at December 31, 2010:





1.
1,641,337 Preferred Shares – convertible on a 1:1 basis for common shares


2.
11,592,352 October 2009 Financing Warrants – exercisable at $2.255 per share


3.
30,000 Common Shares – issuable to officers and directors under agreement








Basic earnings per share is calculated dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, stock options, warrants and other equity awards were converted or exercised during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.





The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive net income per share:

Product Sales





The Company derives the bulk of its revenue from sales of diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and solvents. These product sales revenues are recognized when customers take possession of goods in accordance with the terms of purchase order agreements that evidence agreed upon pricing and when collectability is reasonably assured. Cost of revenues for product sales include costs to purchase and transport the product to the Company, costs to deliver the goods to the customer and depreciation on product storage and delivery equipment.





Agency Fees





Agency fee revenues consist of fees charged to intermediaries who lack the required licenses to purchase directly from refineries. The Company allocates a portion of its purchasing quota to these customers for a fee similar to a sales commission. Agency fee revenues are recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement that specifies pricing and irrevocable allocation of a portion of the Company’s purchase quota and collection has occurred. Cost of agency fee service revenues may consists of selling commission, transportation or other costs, if any, associated with the agency fee arrangement.  For year ended June 30, 2010 and thereafter, the Company stopped transporting or handling the Products associated with the agency sales and only acted in a broker capacity allowing other intermediaries to use its licenses to take possession of the Products.





NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS





The Company has evaluated for subsequent events between the balance sheet date of December 31, 2010 and February 14, 2011, the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.





During the period from second quarter ended December, 2010 through February 14, 2011, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock elected to convert 192,926 shares of preferred stock into 192,926 shares of common stock.





During the period from second quarter ended December 31, 2010 through February 14, 2011, the holders of Warrants elected to exercise 50,100 warrants on a cashless basis into 8,866 shares of common stock.





NOTE 14 - RESTATEMENT
 
 While preparing our third quarterly review, we noted warrants exercised were not correctly recorded during the second quarter ended December 31, 2010. When warrants were exercised we had not debited to warrant derivative liability expense (a non-cash charge) for $4,589 thousand andcredited to common stock for the same amount. Consequently, we have understated common stock and understated derivative expenses. We also noted that we had not correctly applied the treasury stock method when computing dilution for fully diluted earnings per share. Under this method warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Consequently we have overstated the fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The changes were made as follows:

Highlights and Executive Summary





Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) is an energy company engaged in the wholesale distribution of finished petroleum products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  Our oil and gas operations consist of transporting, storage and selling finished petroleum products, entirely in the PRC.  We purchase diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and solvents (the “Products”) from various petroleum refineries in the PRC. Our headquarters are located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province (“Taiyuan”). The Company has a storage capacity for its Products of 120,000 metric tons located at its fuel depot storage facilities in Taiyuan and in Gujiao, Shanxi (“Gujiao”), 50,000 metric tons and 70,000 metric tons of capacity respectively at each location. The Gujiao facility was acquired in January of 2009 and commenced operations in January of 2010. The Company is 1 of 3 licensed intermediaries in Taiyuan and the sole licensed intermediary in Gujiao that operates its own large scale storage tanks. The Company has the necessary licenses to operate and sell Products not only in Shanxi but throughout the entire PRC. The Company seeks to earn profits by selling its Products at competitive prices with timely delivery to coal mining operations, power supply customers, large-scale gas stations and small, independent gas stations. The Company also earns revenue under an agency fee by acting as a purchasing agent for other intermediaries in Shanxi, and through limited sales of diesel and gasoline at two retail gas stations, each located at the Company’s facilities. The sales price and the cost basis of the Company’s products are largely dependent on regulations and price control measures instituted and controlled by the PRC government as well as the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is subject to fluctuation due to a variety of factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.





The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc.  On October 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures





The following table contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Such measures, which are unaudited and should only be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, are intended to serve as a supplement to the GAAP results.  The unaudited non-GAAP information reflects the adjustment to GAAP Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders on a non-GAAP basis, whereby the effect of the noncash adjustment for each period presented of the change in the fair value of derivatives associated with the October 2009 Warrants is added back to the GAAP Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders.  This non-GAAP adjustment has been used to calculate the non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.  The non-GAAP operating results for the quarters presented are not necessarily indicative of results for any future periods, but management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors for a more accurate picture of the Company’s operations on an ongoing basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources





General





As of December 31, 2010 our current assets increased $38,072 or 26% from $143,994 at year end June 30, 2010 to $182,066 at the six month period ended December 31, 2010.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,124 at December 31, 2010.  Overall, we had an increase in cash flows of $4,999 during the six month period ended December 31, 2010 resulting from $3,507 of cash provided by operating activities, cash used in investing activities of $1,960 and cash provided by financing activities of $2,747.





Our current ratio is approximately 9:1 (current assets to current liabilities) and improves to 28:1 net of the fair value of the warrant derivative liability at December 31, 2010.  We have no long term debt as of December 31, 2010.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities





For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by operations was $3,507 compared to net cash used in operations of $(1,135) for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  The increase of $4,642 or 409% in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to the increase in net income, but was offset by the increase in operating assets of $7,932 in accounts receivable, $13,090 in inventory, and $7587 in advances to suppliers.  We increased these balances as our capacity utilization has expanded from 50,000mt to 120,000mt during the last fiscal year with operations commencing at the Gujiao facility in January of 2010.  Based on the six months ended December 31, 2010 inventory product mix we have 57,639mt (or 19M gallons) of Product on-hand or 48% of our total storage capacity of 120,000mt valued at $48,058.  Our supplier advance balance with refineries allows us to lock-in supply so that we can react quickly to purchases based on the timing of the PRC pricing levels adjustments and adjust our on-hand inventory levels accordingly.





Cash Flows from Investing Activities





For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $(1,960) compared to net cash used in investing activities of $(7,646) for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease of $5,686 or 74% in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower capital expenditures in the six months ended December 31, 2010.  The capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2009 included the investment into the renovation and retrofit of the Gujiao facility, as well as improvements to our Taiyuan facility.





Cash flows from Financing Activities





For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,747 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13,896 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease of $11,149 or 80% in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease of $13,820 from the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock during the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to proceeds from the exercise of warrants during the six months ended December 31, 2010.





Plan of Operations





Based on our current operations, we do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment or expect any significant additions to the number of our employees.





We expect to continue to expand our customer base utilizing our existing distribution platform.  Our strategy is to leverage our customer and supplier relationships to develop additional business.  We may also look for opportunities to expand our business that we consider accretive to earnings.





We will continue to operate within our business model, which allows us a competitive advantage by utilizing our large storage capacity to adjust inventory levels based on the anticipated movement of industry pricing and acts as a hedge on pricing levels.  Utilizing our excess storage capacity allows us flexibility to take advantage of pricing, supply and demand fluctuations within the marketplace.  Our supplier advance balance with refineries allows us to lock-in supply so that we can react quickly to purchases based on the timing of the PRC pricing levels adjustments.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





The discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors the Company believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.





The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to: (1) inventory costs and reserves; (2) asset impairments (3) and depreciable lives of assets. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. The Company evaluates and updates these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates that have been used.





Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, as they require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.





Warrant Derivative Liability





The Company issued warrants in connection with financing instruments.  The Company analyzed the accounting treatment and classification of the warrants and summarized the effects and conclusions. The Company accounts for the warrants pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815.





Impairment analysis for long-lived assets and intangible assets





The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, “ Property, Plant, and Equipment”, and FASB ASC Topic 205 “ Presentation of Financial Statements ”.  The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through December 31, 2010, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.





Inventories





Inventories consist of finished petroleum products.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.  When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.





Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors and the Board has reviewed the disclosures presented above relating to them.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Cai Yongjun, and Chief Financial Officer, Michael Toups, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and our subsequent evaluation in reviewing our March 31, 2011 Form 10Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 Our conclusion that our disclosure controls were not effective was based on the fact that, as more fully disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2011, we identified a number of “significant deficiencies” in the process of preparing our financial statements for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011.  On May 13, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for the company concluded that the previously issued financial statements for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made and action taken to prevent future reliance.
 
 The basis of management's determination that the financials for the second fiscal quarter could not be relied upon was that warrants exercised during the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 were not correctly recorded. When warrants were exercised, we did not debit warrant derivative liability expense (a non-cash charge) for $4,589 thousands and credited common stock for the same amount. Consequently, we understated common stock and warrant derivative liability expenses. Additionally, we failed to correctly apply the treasury stock method when computing dilution relating to our calculation of fully dilutive earnings per share. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Consequently, we overstated the fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were 103,136,580 and 101,216,165 for the six and three month ended December 31, 2010.
  CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
 Our management has discussed the significant deficiencies identified in the Amendment with our board of directors and has engaged in the following remediation efforts to ensure that the significant deficiencies do not reoccur, which include adding additional accounting staff with greater expertise to assist the Company in preparation of its financial statements and allocating significant financial and human resources to strengthen the internal control structure.  As part of our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year 2011, we have been actively working with external consultants to assess our data collection, financial reporting, and control procedures and to strengthen our internal controls over financials reporting.
 
 These remediation efforts are designed to address the significant deficiencies identified and to improve and strengthen our overall control environment.  We believe these actions will prevent the significant deficiencies from recurring.  Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors, even as the aforementioned remediation measures are implemented and further improved to address all deficiencies.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
 The implementation of our remediation plan will require substantial expenditures, could take a significant period of time to complete, and could distract our officers and employees from the operation of our business.  However, our management believes that these remediation efforts will be completed by the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2011
