CHINA
NEW ENERGY GROUP COMPANY
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This
basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of our subsidiaries in
China, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and
relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the
PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the
financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
The
interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and
stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is
suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K of China New
Energy Group Company filed on April 15, 2009. The Company follows the same
accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results
of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual
results.
Going
Concern
As shown
in accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an
accumulated deficit incurred through September 30, 2009, which raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liability that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.
The
timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors,
including demand for products and services and the availability of opportunities
for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships. Management
intends to seek new capital from new equity securities issuances to provide
funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement
its business plan.
2.
Discontinued
operations
Effective
September 26, 2008, the Company entered into an asset swap in which it disposed
of the subsidiary Hunchun Sing Ocean including substantially all of its assets.
In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360, “Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets”, Hunchun Sing Ocean operation is being accounted for as
discountinued operations and, accordingly, its operating results are segregated
and reported as discountinued operations in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations in 2009 and 2008.

Willsky
Development LTD. was incorporated on May 31, 2005 in the British Virgin Islands.
On March 28, 2008, Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. completed a reverse acquisition
transaction with Willsky Development whereby Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. issued
to the shareholder of Willsky Development 94,908,650 shares of Travel Hunt
Holdings, Inc. common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Willsky Development. Simultaneous with the consummation of the
share exchange agreement, the shareholder of Willsky, Eternal International
Holding Group Ltd, a Hong Kong corporation, or Eternal International,
distributed 85,417,785 shares of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. common stock as a
dividend. Accordingly, following this distribution, Eternal International
beneficially owns approximately 9.49% of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. outstanding
capital stock. Willsky Development thereby became Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc.’s
wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Willsky Development
became Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. controlling stockholders.
For
accounting purposes, the acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization
effected by a share exchange, and the transaction treated as a reverse
acquisition with Willsky Development as the acquirer and Travel Hunt Holdings,
Inc. as the acquired party. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity
(Willsky) were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was
recognized.
On May
27, 2008, we changed our name from Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. to China New
Energy Group Company.

QinHuangDao
ChenSheng Gas Co, Ltd. (QHDCSGCL) - On September 16, 2008, we,
through our 99%-owned subsidiary Tianjin Sing Ocean Public Utility
Development Co., Ltd., entered into an Equity Swap Agreement with Mr. Xiu Hai
Tian, whereby we acquired from Mr. Xiu a 49% ownership interest
in Chensheng Gas, in exchange for our 99% ownership in Hunchun Sing
Ocean. The parties to the Equity Swap Agreement determined that the
value of the 49% interest in Chensheng Gas and the 99% interest in Hunchun Sing
Ocean were approximately equal and therefore there was no cash or other
consideration involved in the transaction from either party.
On
December 10, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement for Equity Transfer
with the holders of the remaining 51% outstanding equity in Chensheng
Gas. Pursuant to the Agreement for Equity Transfer, the Company
agreed to purchase the remaining 51% of the outstanding equity of Chensheng Gas
from 17 individuals for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 12.56 million
(approximately $1.84 million). The transaction was consummated on
December 30, 2008, following which the Company now owns 51% of the equity of
Chensheng Gas, and our 99%-owned subsidiary Tianjin Sing Ocean now owns 49% of
the equity of Chensheng Gas and therefore, the Group ultimately hold
Chensheng 99.5%.
Yingkou

99%-owned subsidiary Tianjin Sing Ocean Public Utility Development and
therefore, the Group ultimately owned 99% of YZGDCL. YZGDCL established in the

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis
of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Revenue Recognition
We
recognize revenue upon meeting the recognition requirements of Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Natural gas revenues
are recorded based on the amount of product delivered to customers through
pipelines and checked by gas meters.
Connection
fees, which relate to the hookup from the street pipeline to the customer, are
charged to both residential and commercial customers. This revenue segment
accounts for a majority of the Company’s revenue. The connection fees are
recognized as revenue upon the completion of the jobs by the contractor, the
installation being checked and accepted by the Company’s technical staff, and
acceptance by the customer.
(c) Foreign Currency Transactions
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The
functional currency of the Company is US$, the functional currency of Willsky
Development Ltd is HK$, and the functional currency of all the PRC subsidiaries
is Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s consolidated balance sheet accounts are
translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates and all revenue and
expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates
prevailing during the periods in which these items arise. Translation gains and
losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of 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 statement of operations as incurred. The
translation and transaction gains and losses were immaterial for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
The PRC
government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of
the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not
had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any
significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.
(d) Use
of Estimates
In
preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP,
management is required to make estimates 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 revenues and
expenses during the reported periods.
(e)
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts on the financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to current classifications. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income
(loss).

4. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
(f)
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single official source of
authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
in the United States. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC
became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Our accounting policies were not affected by
the conversion to ASC.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance on
accounting for variable interest entities ("VIE"). The new accounting guidance
will result in a change in our accounting policy effective January 1, 2010.
Among other things, the new guidance requires a qualitative rather than a
quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires
continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a
VIE; enhances disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and
amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. Under the
new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated if the enterprise has both (a) the
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the
entity's economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or
the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant
to the VIE. The Company is evaluating the impact that this change in accounting
policy will have on our consolidated financial statements. Based on our initial
assessment, we anticipate that certain entities that are consolidated under our
current accounting policy may not be consolidated subsequent to the effective
date of the new guidance. The Company does not expect this change in accounting
policy to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements
for transfers of financial assets. The guidance requires additional disclosures
for transfers of financial assets and changes the requirements for derecognizing
financial assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance
on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for
revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on
or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for
recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what
constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company is currently assessing the
impact on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
No other
new accounting pronouncements, applicable to the Company, have been
issued.

Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company, its subsidiary and branch divisions are subject to income taxes on an
entity basis on income arising in, or derived, from the tax jurisdiction in
which they operated. As the Company had no income generated in the United
States, there was no tax expense or tax liability due to the Internal Revenue
Service of the United States as of September 30, 2009. A subsidiary
of the Company was incorporated under the international Business Companies Act
of the British Virgin Islands and, accordingly is exempted from payment of
British Virgin Islands income taxes. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the
prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax is 25% for TSOPUDCD, YZGDCL,
and CNETICCL, whereas QHDCSGCL is being taxed on 1% of its gross sales for the
first half of year 2009 and 25% on net income started from July, 2009 and 0.8%
of it gross sales for the year of 2008.
The
Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income
tax benefits according to the provisions of FASB ASC No. 740.10. The
income tax expense was $828,800 and $705,244 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company has recorded no deferred
tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, since the
management intends to maintain a full valuation allowance.

Concentrations
and Credit Risk
The Group
operates principally in the PRC and grants credit to its customers in this
geographic region. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always
possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the
Company's operations. Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Group to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and accounts
receivable.
For the
nine months period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, one customer accounted for
approximately 12% and four customers accounted for approximately 57% of the
Company’s sales respectively.
For the
three months period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, three customers accounted
for approximately 46% and five customers accounted for approximately 76% of the
Company’s sales respectively.
At
September 30, 2009, two major customers accounted for 14% and 13% of net
accounts receivable respectively. At December 31, 2008, two major customers
accounted for 19% and 11% of net accounts receivable respectively.
At
September 30, 2009, three major suppliers accounted for 53%, 12% and 11% of net
accounts payable respectively. At December 31, 2008, two major suppliers
accounted for 49% and 12% of net accounts payable respectively.
The
Company does not require collateral to support financial instruments that are
subject to credit risk.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, rental expenses included in
general and administrative expenses were $102,409 and $8,214,
respectively.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, rental expenses included in
general and administrative expenses were $39,816 and $0,
respectively.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company did not have any contingent
liabilities.
The
Company is obligated to provide uninterrupted piped gas to connected users and
to ensure the safety in the process of piped gas operations. The volume of gas
to be supplied by the Company will grow with the increase of gas users. The
Company has selected three qualified gas resource suppliers to ensure the stable
operation to meet its obligation.
Deposits
in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are
consequently exposed to risk of loss. Management believes the probability of a
bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.
14.
Environmental Matters
The
Company does not anticipate any material future cash requirements to
environmental issues. If circumstances change, the Company will record the
estimated charges to return the sites to their original condition.

Issuance
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase
Agreement
On April
30, 2009, China New Energy Group Company (the “Company”) entered into a Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with China
Hand Fund I L.P. (“China Hand”).
Pursuant
to the SPA, on May 1, 2009, the Company issued and sold to China Hand, and China
Hand purchased from the Company, 1,116,388 shares of the Company’s Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and warrants (the
“Warrants”) to purchase 7,814,719 shares of its 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 for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,400,000 (the “Private Placement”).
Kuhns
Brothers Securities Corporation (“Kuhns Brothers”) acted as placement agent in
connection with the 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 the Company’s Common Stock (the “Agent Warrants”),
representing 10% the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to
China Hand in the Private Placement upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock.
In
connection with the signing of the SPA, on April 30, 2009, the Company also
entered into a Closing Escrow Agreement by and among the Company, China Hand and
Escrow LLC (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which China Hand agreed to deposit
all funds due to the Company under the SPA in escrow until such time as all
closing conditions of the SPA have been satisfied and the Escrow Agent shall
have received notice, executed by both the Company and China Hand, instructing
the Escrow Agent to release such funds to the Company. The Closing Escrow
Agreement terminates upon the release of all funds from escrow as described
above, or upon the 90
th
day
following the date of the Closing Escrow Agreement if no such instruction to
disburse funds is received by the Escrow Agent, on which date all such funds
will be returned to China Hand. In May, the Company received all the
funds amounting to $5,400,000 from the Escrow Agent.
Make
Good Provision
Additionally,
the Company agreed to make good provisions that will require the Company to
issue to China Hand up to 334,916 additional shares (the “Make Good Shares”) of
its Series B Preferred Stock if it does not achieve an audited after-tax net
income of $5.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Income
Target”); if the Company is successful in achieving the 2009 Income Target,
China Hand will transfer 22,327 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to
certain members of the Company’s management, which shares have been deposited
into an escrow account. The Company also agreed to issue to China
Hand 27,910 shares of Series B Preferred Stock if the Company’s Common Stock is
not listed for trading on a national securities exchange on or before January
31, 2010 (the “Listing Shares”).
Amendment
and Restatement of Certain Registration Rights
In
connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company and China Hand
amended and restated that certain registration rights agreement
between the Company and China Hand dated August 20, 2008. Pursuant to
the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended and
Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), among other things, the
Company agreed to register all of the shares of common stock underlying the
securities issued to China Hand in the Private Placement, as well as the private
placement that was consummated on August 20, 2008 (collectively, the “Shares”)
within a pre-defined period. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration
statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933
covering the resale of the Shares by May 30, 2009. The Company is subject to
registration delay payments in amounts prescribed by the Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement if it is unable to file the Registration
Statement, cause it to become effective or maintain its effectiveness as
required by the Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement. Registration delay payments will accrue at a rate of
$54,000 per month or one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of the Private
Placement; provided that the maximum aggregate amount of the registration delay
payments pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement is
$810,000, or fifteen percent (15%) of the gross proceeds of the Private
Placement. Subsequently, the Company signed a wavier agreement with China Hand
on April 30, 2009 which waived the above terms and conditions.

Overview
of Our Business
We are a
natural gas company engaged in the development of natural gas distribution
networks, and the distribution of natural gas to residential, industrial and
commercial customers in small and medium sized cities in China.
We
currently own the exclusive rights to develop distribution networks to provide
natural gas to industrial, commercial and residential consumers in the cities of
Dashiqiao, Acheng and Nandaihe. Currently, these distribution networks provide
natural gas to an aggregate of approximately 61,000 consumers in these
cities.
We
procure our natural gas by purchasing natural gas from third-party suppliers.
Once natural gas is extracted by the supplier, all water content and impurities
are removed. Natural gas is then delivered by truck to either (1) our
natural gas supply stations, where the gas is either depressurized and then
delivered to households through pipelines or delivered directly to customers in
pressurized tanks, or (2) to gas stations where the gas is sold for use in motor
vehicles.
Our major
business activities include development and construction of local gas
distribution networks, transportation of natural gas from suppliers to our
storage facilities in a given operational location, and operating and
maintaining the gas distribution networks.
Our
Current Organizational Structure
Willsky
Development LTD. was incorporated on May 31, 2005 in the British Virgin Islands.
On March 28, 2008, Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. completed a reverse acquisition
transaction with Willsky Development whereby Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. issued
to the shareholder of Willsky Development 94,908,650 shares of Travel Hunt
Holdings, Inc. common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Willsky Development. Simultaneous with the consummation of the
share exchange agreement, the shareholder of Willsky, Eternal International
Holding Group Ltd, a Hong Kong corporation, or Eternal International,
distributed 85,417,785 shares of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. common stock as a
dividend. Accordingly, following this distribution, Eternal International
beneficially owns approximately 9.49% of Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. outstanding
capital stock. Willsky Development thereby became Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc.’s
wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Willsky Development
became Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. controlling stockholders.
For
accounting purposes, the acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization
effected by a share exchange, and the transaction treated as a reverse
acquisition with Willsky Development as the acquirer and Travel Hunt Holdings,
Inc. as the acquired party. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity
(Willsky) were brought forward at their book value and no goodwill was
recognized.
On May
27, 2008, we changed our name from Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. to China New
Energy Group Company.
Tianjin
Sing Ocean Public Utility Development Co. Ltd. (“TSOPUDCD”) is an equity joint
venture established in the PRC to be operated for a period of 50 years until

28, 2010 and 50 years until January 18, 2054.
QinHuangDao
ChenSheng Gas Co, Ltd. (QHDCSGCL) - On September 16, 2008, we,
through our 99%-owned subsidiary Tianjin Sing Ocean Public Utility
Development Co., Ltd., entered into an Equity Swap Agreement with Mr. Xiu Hai
Tian, whereby we acquired from Mr. Xiu a 49% ownership interest
in Chensheng Gas, in exchange for our 99% ownership in Hunchun Sing
Ocean. The parties to the Equity Swap Agreement determined that the
value of the 49% interest in Chensheng Gas and the 99% interest in Hunchun Sing
Ocean were approximately equal and therefore there was no cash or other
consideration involved in the transaction from either party.
On
December 10, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement for Equity Transfer
with the holders of the remaining 51% outstanding equity in Chensheng
Gas. Pursuant to the Agreement for Equity Transfer, the Company
agreed to purchase the remaining 51% of the outstanding equity of Chensheng Gas
from 17 individuals for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 12.56 million
(approximately $1.84 million). The transaction was consummated on
December 30, 2008, following which the Company now owns 51% of the equity of
Chensheng Gas, and Tianjin Sing Ocean now owns 49% of the equity of Chensheng
Gas.
Yingkou
Zhongneng Gas Development Co., Ltd (YZGDCL) is a subsidiary of the Company and
established in the PRC to operate a natural gas distribution network in the city
of Dashiqiao.
China New
Energy (Tianjin) Investment & Consulting Co., Ltd (CNETICCL) is a subsidiary

purposes.
On June
26, 2009, our subsidiary, Qinhuangdao Chensheng Gas Co., Ltd. and Sing Ocean
contributed $1,462,501 (RMB10,000,000) in cash and $950,626 (RMB6,500,000) in
assets respectively to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tianjin Binhai
Zhongneng Gas Co., Ltd., in Da Gang District, Tianjin, China, for constructing
and developing the gas projects of Private Economic Park and Taiping County in
Dagang District, Tianjin.
The
following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this
report.
Reportable
Operating Segments
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had sales revenue of $5.95
million of which $5.43 MM or 91% was from connection services while
$0.52 million or 9% was from gas sales.
Our
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, is mainly contributed by
the connection services segment as the company concentrates our efforts to
provide our services to property developers. Thus, the gas
consumption will begin when the properties are sold in the
market. Currently, the volume of gas sales to connected households is
not high. This phenomenon does affect our revenue structure.

China New
Energy (Tianjin) Investment & Consulting Co.,Ltd is subject to the tax laws
of the PRC at the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax
of 25%.
Tianjin
Sing Ocean Public Utility Development Company is subject to the tax laws
of the PRC at the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise
income tax of 25%.
Acheng is
a division of Tianjin Sing Ocean Public Utility Development Company: thus, it is
not subject to separate statutory income tax.
Yingkou
Zhongneng Gas Development Company is subject to the tax laws of the PRC, the
prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax is 25%.
Qinhuangdao
Chensheng Gas Company is subject to the tax laws of the PRC being taxed on 0.8%
of annual sales. Starting from January 1, 2009, the tax rate was
changed to 1% on annual sales. It was further amended and effective on
July 1, 2009, the tax rate was changed to 25% on net income.
Tianjin
Binhai Zhongneng Gas Company is subject to the tax laws of the PRC at the
prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax of 25%.
On April
22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning
Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled
Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria
of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the
application of the New EIT Law and its implementation with respect to
non-Chinese enterprises or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the
Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by
a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically
incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of
daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its
financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in
China; (iii) its main properties, accounting books, corporate seal, board and
shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) directors with voting rights or
senior management often reside in China. Such resident enterprise
would be subject to an EIT rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a
withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC
shareholders. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable
to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural
person. Nor are detailed measures available on the imposition of tax
on non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises. Therefore, it is unclear
how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each
case.
However,
as our case substantially meets the foregoing criteria, there is a likelihood
that we are deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If
the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC
enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences
could follow.
First,
we
may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide
taxable income as well as subject to PRC enterprise income tax reporting
obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on
financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC
enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%.
Second
, although under the
New EIT Law and its Implementing Rules dividends paid to us from our PRC
subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such
dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign
exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet
issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to
entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax
purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to
the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in
which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC
stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from
transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident
enterprise” treatment and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to
avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

Revenues
. Revenues
are derived primarily from connection fees and sales of natural
gas. Revenues increased $0.56 MM, or 25% to $2.82 MM for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 from $2.25 MM for the same period in 2008. This
increase was mainly attributable to an increase in number of connection
households.
Cost of
Sales
. Cost of sales consists primarily of connection
costs and purchase of natural gas from our suppliers and
depreciation.
Our cost
of sales increased by $0.47 MM, or 82%, to $1.05 MM for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 from $0.58 MM during the same period in 2008. Such increase
was mainly attributable to a corresponding increase in the number of households
connected to our distribution network and we recorded the depreciation of the
operation under cost of sales for the three months ended September 30,
2009.
Gross
Profit
.
Our
gross profit increased by $0.09 MM, or 5%, to $1.77 MM for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 from $1.68 MM during the same period in 2008. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenues. or gross profit margin, was 63% for the
three months ended September 30, 2009. The gross profit margin during
the same period in 2008 was 74%. Such decrease in gross profit margin was mainly
due to cost reallocation of the depreciation.
Selling, General & Administrative
Expenses (
S
&
G&A
Expenses)
. SG&A expenses, include office expenses, entertainment and
travelling, salaries and other expenses. SG&A expenses increased by $0.46
MM, or 132%, to $0.80 MM for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from
$0.35 MM during the same period in 2008. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A
expenses increased to 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 15%
for the same period in 2008. This increase was mainly due to the fact
that we are preparing to expand our company. Management
believes that the relatively high SG&A expenses will continue as we
endeavor to expand our business.
Net
Income
. Net income decreased $0.41 MM, or 45% to a net income of $0.49 MM
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from net income of $0.90 MM for
the same period of 2008, mainly due to the increase in SG&A
expenses.

Revenues
. Revenues
are derived primarily from connection fees and sales of natural gas. Revenues
increased $1.72 MM or 40% to $5.95 MM for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 from $4.24 MM for the same period in 2008. This increase was mainly
attributable to an increase in number of connected households and an increase in
natural gas consumption.
Cost of
Sales
. Cost of sales consists primarily of the purchase of
natural gas from our suppliers and connection costs. Our cost of sales increased
$0.90 MM, or 79%, to $2.03 MM for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from
$1.13 MM during the same period in 2008. Such increase was mainly attributable
to a corresponding increase in the number of households connected to our network
and increase in natural gas consumption by our customers. As a percentage of
revenues, the cost of sales increased to 34% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, from 27% in the same period in 2008, which was mainly
attributable to an increase in the number of connected households.
Gross
Profit
.
Our
gross profit increased $0.82 MM, or 26%, to $3.93 MM for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 from $3.11 MM during the same period in 2008. Gross profit as
a percentage of revenues was 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of 7% from 73% during the same period in 2008. This percentage decrease
was mainly due to an increase in our connection costs.
Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses
. Selling, general and administrative
expenses, which include sales representative commissions, promotion fees,
salesperson salaries and expenses, depreciation charges and other fees,
increased $1.15 MM, or 141%, to $1.96 MM for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 from $0.81 MM during the same period in 2008. As a percentage of
revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 33% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 from 19% for the same period in 2008. This
increase was mainly due to the fact that we are endeavoring to expand our
business. Management believes that the relatively high SG&A
expenses will continue as we endeavor to expand our business.
Net
Income
. Net income decreased $0.64 MM, to $1.14 MM for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 from $1.78 MM for the same period of 2008, as a result
of the factors described above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.9
million. The following table provides detailed information about our net

Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities was $0.14 MM for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.50 MM during
the same period of 2008. This decrease in funds used in our operating activities
was primarily due to an increase of accounts receivable, as well as a decrease
in prepayment and other payables.
Investing
Activities
Our main
use of cash in investing activities was mainly for the construction of gas
pipelines and acquisition of assets.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was
$5.81 MM which is an increase of $5.23 MM from $0.57 MM for the
same period of 2008. This increase was due to a purchase
of the Chensheng subsidiary, and increased
construction in progress and fixed assets.
Financing
Activities
Our debt
to equity ratio was 9% as of September 30, 2009. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
was $5.22 MM, which is a decrease of $2.07 MM from $7.28 MM during the same
period of 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to the fund
falling in 2009. It was a decrease of 28%.
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 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)
exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of issuance, for a
purchase price of $9,000,000.
Subsequently,
on May 1, 2009, we issued and sold to China Hand 1,116,388 shares of our Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 7,814,719 shares of our
common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.187 per share (subject to
adjustments) exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of
issuance for a purchase price of $5,400,000.
Additionally,
we agreed to certain make good provisions that will require us to issue to China
Hand up to 334,916 additional shares of our Series B Preferred Stock if we do
not achieve audited after-tax net income of $5.0 million for the year ending
December 31, 2009. If we are successful in achieving this income
target, China Hand will transfer 22,327 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock
to certain members of our management. We also agreed to issue to China
Hand 27,910 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock if our common stock is not
listed for trading on a national securities exchange on or before January 31,
2010.
Kuhns
Brothers Securities Corporation, or Kuhns Brothers, acted as placement agent in
connection with the August 20, 2008 and May, 1, 2009 private placements. In each
case, as compensation for its services, Kuhns Brothers received a cash fee equal
to 10% of the gross proceeds received from each private placement, as well as
warrants to purchase 10% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock
issuable to China Hand in each private placement upon conversion of the Series A
and Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, Kuhns Brothers received
cash fees of $900,000 and $540,000, and warrants to purchase 6,500,804 and
3,907,358 shares of our common stock, in connection with the August 20, 2008 and
May 1, 2009 private placements, respectively.
Going
Concern
As shown
in accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an
accumulated deficit incurred through September 30, 2009, which raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liability that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.
The
timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors,
including demand for products and services and the availability of opportunities
for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships. Management
intends to seek new capital from new equity securities issuances to provide
funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement
its business plan.
In
addition, we may, in the future, require additional cash resources due to
changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our
production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to
pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our
capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities
or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity
securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of
indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could
require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our
operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds
on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our
business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Capital
Expenditures, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingences
For nine
months ended September 30, 2009, the company spent about $5.8 MM in capital
expenditures which was mainly for the construction of gas pipelines, gas station
and acquisition. The company settled the payments according to the terms of the
contract and fulfilled of its contractual obligations. Other than the
operating leases stated in Note 12 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, we have no other commitments and contingencies. As disclosed in Note
12, the Company is obligated under operating leases to pay minimum lease
payments of approximately $0.18 MM .
Critical
Accounting Policies
There
were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies from
those described in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.
Seasonality
Our
pipeline distribution networks are primarily located in northeastern China,
which is extremely cold during the winter months. Additionally, gas consumption
by residential customers is higher in the winter months for heating purposes,
and there is a corresponding increase in usage during winter. However, due to
the cold weather we are unable to construct primary gas pipelines. If
a primary pipeline is already in place, we are able to connect new customers to
our distribution network during this time.
Effects
of Inflation
Our
business, revenues and operating results have not been affected in any material
way by inflation.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our
securities.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
|
Price
Risk
We are
principally engaged in the development of natural gas distribution networks, and
the distribution of natural gas to residential, industrial and commercial
customers in small and medium sized cities in China. In the
PRC the price of connection fees and gas sales to residential
customers is subject to the approval of the corresponding local PRC Price
Bureau. The corresponding local PRC Price Bureau will examine our
cost of connection and gas supply, compare it with the local living standard,
then finalize and approve our price of connection fees and gas
sales. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the
necessary approvals to increase our prices if our costs
increase. As we only have to obtain the approval of
the local PRC Price Bureau for connection fees and gas sales to residential
customers the price to commercial customers is subject to contractual
negotiation between both parties.
None.
Foreign
Exchange Risk
The PRC
government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign
currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system,
the People's Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the
PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day's dealings in the inter-bank
foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign
currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within
an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market
conditions.
Pursuant
to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State
Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the
Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which
came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion
of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs,
for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and
profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert
their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign
exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the
PRC. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital
account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is
still under certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended
the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an
important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose
restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current
account items.
Enterprises
in the PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions
relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign
exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by
providing valid receipts and proofs.
Convertibility
of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct
investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions,
and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be
sought.
Since
1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollar has
remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately
RMB8.28 to $1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that it
would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number
of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar and, the exchange rate for the
Renminbi against the U.S. dollar became RMB8.02 to $1.00. As our operations are
primarily in PRC, any significant revaluation or devaluation of the Chinese
Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and
financial condition. We may not be able to hedge effectively against in any such
case. For example, to the extent that we need to convert United States dollars
into Chinese Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of this currency against
the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to
convert Chinese Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes
and the United States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United
States dollar equivalent of the Chinese Renminbi we convert would be reduced.
There can be no assurance that future movements in the exchange rate of Renminbi
and other currencies will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
CNER’s operating companies are FIEs to which the Foreign Exchange Control
Regulations are applicable. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain sufficient foreign exchange to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign
exchange requirements in the future.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that is required
to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Mr.
Yangkan Chong, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Eric Yu Tak Shing, our Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30,
2009. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Chong and Mr. Yu concluded that
as of September 30, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, there were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
