The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock represent seventy percent (70%) of the Company’s outstanding voting power. Accordingly, as a result of the Private Placement, Vicis owns (i) 100% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, which entitles Vicis to 70% of the total voting power on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, and (ii) 1,368,247 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, (which Vicis acquired in August 2008 pursuant to a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 8, 2009 between the Company and China Hand (the “ August SPA ”)) which entitles Vicis to approximately 32.4% of the remaining 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting power (following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock), or approximately 9.7%.

Except as noted above, there are no other agreements or understandings for any of our executive officers or directors to resign at the request of another person and no officer or director is acting on behalf of nor will any of them act at the direction of any other person.

All directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the Board and their terms of office are at the discretion of the Board. There are no family relationships between any of the proposed directors or executive officers.

To the best of our knowledge, none of the officers or incoming or existing directors of the Company has been

Board Composition and Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is currently composed of five members: Jiaji Shang, Chunming Guo, Yangkan Chong, John D. Kuhns and James Tie Li. After the effectiveness of the election of the two additional directors the Board of Directors will be composed of the following seven members: Jiaji Shang, Chunming Guo, Yangkan Chong, John D. Kuhns, James Tie Li, Mary Fellows and Shadron Stastney. All board action requires the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Policy Regarding Board Attendance

Our directors are expected to attend board meetings as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and to spend the time needed to prepare for each such meeting. Our directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.

During 2008, our Board met 3 times and acted by unanimous written consent 3 times. None of our directors attended fewer than seventy-five percent of the meetings of the Board of Directors.

Independent Directors

Our securities are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an interdealer quotation system. Such a listing would require that a majority of our Board of Directors be “independent.” We have not made a determination that any of our directors qualify as “independent directors,” as the term “independent” is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or the AMEX.

Under the terms of the August SPA and the SPA the Company is required to cause a majority of the Board of Directors to be “independent” (as defined by the rules of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide). In addition, under the terms of the August SPA and the SPA a majority of the Board of Directors are required to be (i) familiar with the oil and gas industry, and (ii) based in the United States and available to act as the Company’s spokesperson to the US markets in the absence of the senior management of the Company. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock have agreed to waive these requirements until such time as the Company submits its listing application to the NASDAQ.

Committees and Audit Committee Financial Expert

As we are not currently a “listed” company we are not required to have and do not have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee or any committee performing a similar function, although we plan to form such committees in the future in connection with our planned application for listing on NASDAQ.

Since we do not currently have an audit committee, we have no audit committee financial expert nor do we have an audit committee charter. Our entire Board handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. In the future, we may search for a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our Board and audit committee and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. Before retaining any such expert, our Board would make a determination as to whether such person is both qualified and independent.

The Board does not currently have a nominating committee. The Board does not believe that it is necessary or appropriate at this time. The Board intends to establish such a committee in connection with its application for listing on the NASDAQ which the Company plans to do in the future. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the Board believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the Board. Currently, the entire Board decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the Board, followed by the Board's review of the candidates’ resumes and interviews of candidates. Based on the information gathered, the Board then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidate as a nominee for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees. The Board does not currently consider candidates recommended by security holders but may adopt such a policy in the future in connection with its application for listing on NASDAQ.

The Board does not currently have a compensation committee. The Board does not believe that it is necessary or appropriate at this time. The Board intends to establish such a committee in connection with its application for listing on the NASDAQ which the Company plans to do in the future. Decisions regarding compensation are made by the Board.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Participation

The Board does not currently have a compensation committee. In addition, during 2008, none of our executive officers served as a director or as a member of the compensation committee of a company which employs any of our directors.

Compensation Committee Report .

The Board does not currently have a compensation committee.

Director Compensation

Pursuant to verbal agreements, Messrs. Kuhns, Li and Chong each receive $20,000 annually for service on our Board of Directors.

The Board may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than those services ordinarily required of a director. In 2008, no such special remuneration was paid to any of our directors.

All authorized out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a director on our behalf is subject to reimbursement upon our receipt of required supporting documentation of such expenses.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics relating to the conduct of our business by our employees, officers and directors. We intend to maintain the highest standards of ethical business practices and compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to our business, including those relating to doing business outside the United States.

Stockholder Communications

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any “related person” had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

On March 28, 2008, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a share exchange agreement, or the Share Exchange Agreement, with Eternal International, the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Willsky Development, whose Chairman, Jiaji Shang, is our Chairman and a former CEO and President. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Willsky Development in exchange for 94,908,650 shares of our common stock. As a result of this transaction, Eternal International became the beneficial owner of approximately 94.91% of our then outstanding capital stock. Simultaneous with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, Eternal International distributed 85,417,785 shares of our common stock to its shareholders, including various entities controlled by Jiaji Shang, as a dividend. Accordingly, following this distribution, Eternal International beneficially owned approximately 9.49% of then our outstanding capital stock and Mr. Shang beneficially owned approximately 51.03% of our then outstanding capital stock.

On March 28, 2008, we also entered into a redemption agreement, or the Redemption Agreement, with Fountainhead Capital Management Limited, or Fountainhead, and La Pergola Investments Limited, or La Pergola, beneficial owners of approximately 83.91% and 14.81%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock prior to consummation of the Redemption Agreement, whereby Fountainhead and La Pergola surrendered an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for redemption in exchange for the issuance by us of convertible promissory notes to each of them in the aggregate principal amount of six hundred sixty thousand dollars, in favor of Fountainhead and La Pergola. The notes bore interest at the rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum computed on the basis of a 360 day year. The principal and accrued interest of the notes became payable following our consummation of a private placement transaction in which we sold or issued shares of our common stock in a manner that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, where our gross proceeds are at least $1 million. The notes were paid and cancelled on August 20, 2008 following the completion of our private placement with China Hand.

Concurrent with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, and in connection with the Redemption Agreement, we also entered into anti-dilution agreements with each of Fountainhead and La Pergola. Pursuant to the anti-dilution agreements, if we complete a private placement transaction in which we sell or issue securities (in a manner that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) where our gross proceeds are at least $8 million, within twenty-four (24) months of the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, the total number of shares of our common stock held by Fountainhead and La Pergola will be adjusted such that the total value of all such shares held by Fountainhead is equal to $637,500 and the total value of all such shares held by La Pergola is equal to $112,500. Following the closing of the August private placement, WaterPower Investments Limited agreed to transfer an aggregate of 417,509 shares of our common stock to Fountainhead and La Pergola in lieu of the Company issuing new shares pursuant to the anti-dilution agreements.

In connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued warrants, or the Warrants, to each of Fountainhead and La Pergola for the purchase of a number of shares of our common stock equal to an aggregate of two percent (2%) of our issued and outstanding common stock as of immediately after the closing of our next private placement transaction in which we receive gross proceeds of at least $8 million. Following the closing of our August private placement with China Hand, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to Fountainhead and La Pergola is 3,560,193. The term of the Warrants is 5 years and each has an exercise price equal to 150% of the purchase price per share paid by the investors in such August private placement transaction, provided that if securities other than the shares of common stock are issued in such private placement transaction, then the exercise price shall be 150% of the price attributable to a share of common stock at the valuation attributable to us in the transaction on “post-money” basis.

On March 28, 2008, in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Fountainhead and La Pergola, pursuant to which we granted piggyback registration rights to each of Fountainhead and La Pergola to include all shares of our common stock held by each of Fountainhead and La Pergola, including all shares of our common stock issuable to each of Fountainhead and La Pergola upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities held by Fountainhead and La Pergola, as of the date of the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement.

On August 20, 2008, we completed a private placement in which we sold to China Hand Fund I, LLC, or China Hand, and its designees (including, Mary Fellows a director nominee and Vicis an entity controlled by Shadron Stastney a director nominee) 1,857,373 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 13,001,608 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.187 per share (subject to adjustments) for a period of 5 years following the date of issuance, for a purchase price of $9,000,000. Kuhns Brothers Securities Corporation, or Kuhns Brothers (an entity controlled by John Kuhns, a director), acted as placement agent in connection with this private placement. As compensation for its services, Kuhns Brothers received a cash fee equal to $900,000, representing 10% of the gross proceeds received from the private placement, as well as warrants to purchase 6,500,804 shares of our common stock, representing 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to China Hand in the private placement upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ SPA ”) with China Hand. Under the SPA, which closed on May 1, 2009, the Company issued and sold to Vicis, a designee of China Hand, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,400,000, 1,116,388 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 7,814,719 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.187 per share (subject to adjustments) for a period of five (5) years following the date of issuance. Mr. Shadron Stastney, director nominee, is an affiliate of Vicis. Kuhns Brothers (an entity controlled by John Kuhns, a director), acted as placement agent in connection with this private placement. As compensation for its services, Kuhns Brothers received a cash fee equal to $540,000, representing 10% of the gross proceeds received from the private placement, as well as warrants to purchase 3,907,358 shares of our common stock, representing 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to China Hand in the private placement upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
