EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
The sole purpose of this Amendment No.1 to Form 10-K (File Number: 000-52496) is to amend and restate in its entirety the disclosure under Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 filed with the SEC on September 29, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).

Except as set forth above, this Amendment No.1 to Form 10-K does not modify, amend or update in any way any other items or disclosure in the Form 10-K.  This Amendment No.1 to Form 10-K continues to speak as of the date of the original Form 10-K and other than as specifically reflected in this Amendment No.1 to Form 10-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-K.
 
 
 
 

 

 
ITEM 9A(T).   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective.
  
Changes in internal controls.
 
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of June 30, 2009, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
 
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  These material weaknesses consisted of:
 
a.           Lack of expertise in U.S accounting principles among the personnel in our Chinese headquarters.  Our books are maintained and our financial statements are prepared by the personnel employed at our executive offices in Heilongjiang Province in the People’s Republic of China.  Few of our employees have experience or familiarity with U.S accounting principles.  The lack of personnel in our Heilongjiang office who are trained in U.S. accounting principles is a weakness because it could lead to improper classification of items and other failures to make the entries and adjustments necessary to comply with U.S. GAAP.
 

 
b.           Lack of independent control over related party transactions.  Jianye Wang is the sole director and Chief Executive Officer of China Jianye Fuel and of its subsidiary, Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel.  From time to time Mr. Wang has made loans and capital contributions to finance the operations of Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel.  The absence of other directors to review these transactions is a weakness because it could lead to improper classification of such related party transactions.
 
Management is currently reviewing its staffing and their training in order to remedy the weaknesses identified in this assessment.  To date, we are not aware of significant accounting problems resulting from these weaknesses; so we have to weigh the cost of improvement against the benefit of strengthened controls.  However, because of the above conditions, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2009.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
