NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

L & L International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation company, and is located in Seattle, Washington. The Company is shifting its operations to coal (energy). Coal sales represented 86% of its consolidated sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2008. The Company conducts its business in China. The coal (energy) operations consists of the KMC coal wholesale business, and interest in 2 coal mines (DaPuAn mine and SuTsong Mine, provisional name L&L Coal Partners, “2 Mines”) operations acquired in May of 2008 with effective date of May 1,2008. While its air compressor operations become less of importance, representing 14% of its total consolidated sales, as of July 31, 2008.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information - The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all material adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim period(s). All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for quarter(s) of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, statements may omit or include condense footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K, or Form 10K/A if amended for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its 100% ownership of KMC subsidiary, 80.4% ownership of the LEK subsidiary, and 60% of operations of the 2 Mines. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Cash – Cash includes all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Business Segment – For the current quarter ended July 31, 2008, the Company has 2 distinctive business segments; coal (energy), and air compressor. Sales of the Company are mainly generated from its coal (energy) operations, which represented 86% of the Company total consolidated income, and LEK air compressors income represented 14% of the total sales of the Company. It is expected that energy sector is continue to grow in the future, while the air compressor become less than 10% of the Company’s sales.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers. The Company acquired two operating coal mines in Yunnan, China in May 2008, which significant increases its revenue. See Note 3, Business Combination below.

Costs of Good Sold – For coal (energy) sales, cost of good sold includes mainly coal excavation and mining related costs. For air compressor, it consists of direct material cost, direct labor costs and related overhead costs associated with such product manufacturing.

Accounts receivable - Majority of the Company's accounts receivable is due from its customers in China. The Company determines any required allowance, by considering a number of factors including length of time trade

7


accounts receivable are past due and the Company's previous loss history. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. When payments subsequently received on such receivables, they are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories - Inventories comprise excavated coal (finished goods) and work–in-progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, calculated on the first-in, first-out basis, comprises materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses. See Note 7 below, Inventories for details.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Income taxes - The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of financial statements. Its income from overseas controlled subsidiaries is not subject to the United States federal income taxes, as income not repatriated to the US is not subject to the U.S. taxes.

Financial Instruments - Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivables, related party receivables, investments in equity securities and obligations under a bank credit facility. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and the credit facility approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the related party receivables is estimated on the basis of arms’ length transactions.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, 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. Based on the past experience, these estimates are reasonably accurate, have not been changed, and these estimates are reasonably not likely to be changed in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly. It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares. The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity

8


instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The Company has issued two types of warrants (Class D, and Class E). As of July 31, 2008, no options have been granted.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS CONBINATION

The Company owns majority equity controlling interest of the DaPuAn Coal Mine and SuTsong Mine under the provisional name of L&L Coal Partners (the “2 Mines”, or “L&L Coal”), KMC Inc. (coal wholesaler), and LEK (air compressor ) as of July 31, 2008. The 2 Mines were acquired in the current quarter which brings significant sales and profit to the Company operation for the quarter ended 7/31/2008.

The acquisition of the 2 Mines effective on May 1, 2008, is based on a purchase agreement (and its subsequent Amendment to the purchase agreement, see Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 10Q). As a part of purchase agreement, the Company is to contribute significant capital, other consideration and working capital (see below) in the next few years to acquire 60% of a new joint venture, which is based on the existing coal mining operation of the 2 Mines. The purchase agreement is filed with the SEC and is available for reference. Method of valuation of the 2 Mines see below. As a result, the Company receives majority (60%) equity controlling interest of the 2 Mines located in Yunnan Province, a coal rich region of China. The 2 Mine are physically located near the KMC coal wholesale operations. The consideration of the 60% equity acquisition of the 2 Mines is approx. $7.8 million, based on approx. $13.1 million audited net equity of the 2 Mines as of 5/1/2008 (the acquisition date) , see below. The acquisition of 2 Mines is recorded under a purchase method consist with the Company prior acquisition activities. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the Company consolidates the 2 Mines balance sheet for the first quarter ended on July 31, 2008, and operational results for the three months ended on from May 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008.

The following information relates to the 2 mines acquisition:

1. The 2 Mines acquired (which are valued based on an independent audited Net Equity of the 2 Mines, i.e. total asset less total liabilities at 4/30/2008) have been in operations over the past 3 years. They are involved in coal mining and sales of different types of coals including the coking coal (provides both carbons and fuel for the making of coke, a critical material for the steel productions), and the smoking coal (provides fuel for mainly power generating plants). The independent auditor reports of the 2 Mines covering two (2) calendar years of 2006, 2007, and four (4) months ended on 4/30/2008 are available as public record at the SEC Form-8K filing. The purchase of the 2 mines adds approx. 240,000 tons of coals per year to the Company, including approx. 150,000 tons of coal from the DaPuAn Mine, and approx. 90,000 tons from the SuTsong Mine starting 5/1/ 2008. The Company in discussions with Japanese coal strategic partners, plans to improve the existing 2 coal mine operations, using the world-class Japan quality (QC) standards. If successful executed, the improved standards would increase sales and profit.

2. The purchase price of the acquisition contract is $7,883,056 to be paid in the 2 years for exchange of 60% of 2 Mines equity interest. See the allocation of $7,883,056 purchase cost below. Detailed acquisition information including the pre-acquisition audit reports of each of the 2 Mines, and the purchase contract were filed with SEC in June and August of 2008.

NOTE 7. PREPAYMENT AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Prepayment and other receivables consist of the following details as of July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008:

Item    7/31/2008    4/30/2008 



Prepayments (1)    $3,953,660    $3,274,650 
Receivable- KMC right sale (2)    1,663,644    1,857,547 
Other Receivables (3)    11,307,421    3,733,593 



Total    $16,924,725    $8,865,790 



(1) The Prepayment of $679,010 increased in the current year is primarily due to 2 Mines acquisition.

(2) As coal price is on an upward swing, business purchase requires cash deposits or prepayments with its vendors to ensure timely delivery of goods. In April of 2007, KMC sold its ownership of a mining-access-right of Da-Ya-Ko mine for $2.5 million to be collected over a three year period stating 2007; $1.6 million is outstanding to be collected.

(3) The increase of $7.6 million (from $3.7 million as of 4/30/2008 to $11.3 million as first quarter ended 7/31/2008) is mainly due to the result of acquisition of 2 Mines. The 2 Mines normally has about $3 million miscellaneous Other Receivable to vendors and employees on a short term basis for regular business need. The remaining $4.3 million increases of Other Receivables for the first quarter ended 7/31/2008 was due to the original owners who made approx $4.7 million short term loan. It is expected that as the Mines are making money, the loan will not affect the mining operations. See disclosure at Note 18, Related Party Transaction. All Other Receivables are less than 30 days old, secured, and collectable. Management is reviewing Other Receivables practice to curtail activities.

  NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s main operations are located in China. The Company is subject to income taxes primarily in three taxing jurisdictions, including China, Hong Kong (under China sovereignty) and the United States. The income of the Company is mainly generated via its controlled 2 Mines (L&L Coal Partners), KMC, and LEK subsidiaries, a controlled foreign entity located in China. As no cash or fund is repatriated from these operations to the US, the Company is not subject to the US federal taxation for both the current year and the prior year ended on July 31, 2008, and 2007, under subpart F, income from controlled foreign company, of the US Internal Revenue Code.

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company due to the LEK acquisition acquired a net operating loss carry forward of approx. $7,708,480 incurred in the past via LEK operations in China. In the periods ended on July 31, 2008 and on July 31, 2007, there were no material temporary book/tax differences or differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

As a result of the L&L Coal Partners, KMC and LEK operations, its local taxes payable being accrued at July 31, 2008 was $3,804,050, and at April 30, 2008 was $3,563,809. These payables related to local sales tax (value added tax-VAT, which is on revolving basis), local properties taxes, and miscellaneous tax liabilities of L&L Coal Partners, KMC and LEK payable to Chinese local governments, and can be postponed temporarily. The Company, a US incorporated entity, is in contacts with local municipal government, and is in a process to formulate a formal Sino-American joint-venture to bring in US management skills, US technology, capital, to China, which benefit local communities. As according to the China law, a new joint venture may enjoy special Chinese tax rebates and treatments from the governments, thus there is a high probability that the L&L Coal Partners, KMC and LEK local tax liabilities in China can be mitigated.

As 2 Mines was owned by individuals, the income tax was paid on the individual level. The Company brings technical elements into the subsidiaries under the Western Development Policy of China, exempts from income tax. There is no income tax provision is made for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, while the income taxes incurred for the year ended April 30, 2008 is $561,869.

Monthly interest of the credit line is paid by the Registrant, founder does not charge any interest to the Registrant for using his personal credit line.

b) Historically, there are two loans made by the LEK minor shareholders who borrowed money from LEK subsidiary before 2004. The Registrant inherited the loans when it acquired LEK in 2004. Management is to collect and settle the amounts before the year end. See below for details.

Item    7/31/2008    4/30/2008 



Liuzhou No. 2 air compressor Co, Ltd. (1)    $2,720,737    $2,720,737 
FLUID-MEC International Holdings Co. (2)    1,592,334    1,592,334 


Total    $4,313,071    $4,313,071 



(1) When the Registrant acquires LEK, LEK assets included a loan of approximately $3,085,440 due from a company which owns a minor share of LEK. The loan amount is fully secured by assets of a land usage right valued at $5,413,402 (determined by an evaluation report issued by an independent China evaluation firm,) and a commercial properties valued at $2,780,387 owned by this corporate entity. The loan allows the Company to take the rental income of the commercial properties (approx. $284,000 per annum) as its interest payment (equivalent to approx 9.3% per annum). Management believes the entire loan is to be collected at the end of 2008.

(2) LEK loaned approx. $1,266,142 to a third party corporate borrower, who is a minor shareholder of LEK. The term loan is due in December 2008, is charged with 2% fixed interest and is guaranteed by its shareholders.

The loan is less than 10 days old as of the end of first quarter ended on 7/31/2008, is secured by its shares of 2 mine ownership of the new JV, and is paying an interest at a 7% annual interest rate in writing to the Company. It is expected that the loan will not affect the mining operations.

NOTE 19. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The following events incurred as of July 31, 2008:

Historically, the Company offered its common shares with warrants in private placements under the Reg. D to the US accredited investors, to gain capital for acquisition activities in China in 2003 and 2004. The initial PPM offered at $2.50 per share with a warrant convertible at the same price. The share price increased to $3.25 as of April 30, 2008.

On July 14, 2004, the Company began to issue warrants at $1.25 per unit to raise capital through a private placement. Each unit of the warrant gives the holder the right to purchase the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share. The Company has authorized the issuance of 800,000 warrants for this offering. For the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company has issued 285,000 units of warrants for $356,250 in the past.

Historically, the Company declared a 3 (new)-for-1(old) common split in September 2004, to increase its issued and outstanding stock. All stock presented to the Company on September 2004 have been retroactively restated for the effect of this split. The Company made disclosures and offered a rescission to its investors on a voluntary basis in 2005 for possible oversights of the placement in the past, including commission expenses of thirty five percent (35%) which were paid to an outside contractor in 2003, and 2004 as the placement disclosures incidentally reflected only twenty percent of such commission expenses.

Plan of Operations

As China does not substantial petroleum or natural gas reserves, different from that of the US, 71% of China energy is relying on coal. As China economy continues coal grow at high speed, supply of coal cannot meet the demand, thus drives coal prices upward in the recent years. This continuing demand of coal provides a leading, competitive edge for L&L energy operations, which is based on the coal rich region of Yunnan Province in the southwestern area of China. Yunnan’s strong infrastructure demands large quantities of steel, coke, and coal supplies in the next 3 years. As a result, the Company plans to expand its energy business via M&A existing operation to following government’s oligopoly policy that is to aim to eliminate many small inefficient coal mines, to increase operational efficiency and safety standards. The Company has entered 3 MOUs to acquire other energy related entities in Yunnan Province as of 7/31/2008, following its policy to continuously acquire and expand other profitable energy entities in China and other parts of the world. L&L is the US company, public listed in the US and is known to have organizational skills which most of the local small China miners do not have. To ensure its growth momentum, L&L is investing its time and resource to develop strategic relationship with large Japanese coal trading corporations, not only to learn Japan coal operating standards but also to take advantage of price differences of cokes between the (higher) international markets, and (lower) China domestic markets, following the Company international operation policy.

The Company seeks institutions capital funding to increase its business competitive advantages and to fund acquisitions. The Company registered the KMC and LSP investments with the Chinese government, and is in process to register the 2 Mines (“L&L Coal”) and recruit experienced managers to join in as executives, when financial resources become feasible.

Results of Operations

1) During the current quarter ended on July 31, 2008, the Company sales increased of approx. 50% to $12,376,463 as compared to $8,266,440 for the same period in 2007. This sales increase was mainly due to L&L Coal sales, KMC sales increase of coal operations incurred during the current quarter. As of 7/31/2008, coal sales represent approx. 86% of L&L total sales, increased from approx. 13% from the same period ended on 7/31/2007.

2) As of July 31, 2008, the Company controls 100% of KMC operations, 80.4% of LEK operations and 60% of L&L Coal operations. The Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP)., had removed minority interests from the profit belonging to the minority shareholders of LEK and L&L Coal, which are 19.6% and 40% respectively, from the Company’s net profit. Consequently, the Company consolidated results of operations appear to have a much lower profit margin than had the Company could reflect the entire operation profit as its bottom line. To reflect its true results of operation and improve its profit, the Company intents to acquire the entire equity of LEK and L&L Coal when it is feasible to do so.

Total Revenue:

The Company recorded revenue of $12,376,463 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, comparing to $8,266,440 for the same period in 2007. The increase of $4,110,023 (or of 50%) for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 was a result of L&L Coal and KMC operation which contributed over $4 million and $6 of sales respectively in the current period. See Sales Segment Analysis details.

21


Total Operating expenses:

Total operating expense of $1,319,025 incurred in the period ended July 31, 2008, representing an increase of $541,148 (or 70%) as compared to $777,877 for the same period in 2007. The increase of total operating expenses is mainly due to the acquisition of L&L Coal operations.

Interest expenses:

Interest expenses of $136,442 for the period ended July 31, 2008, representing an increase of $73,017 (or 115%) from $63,425 for the same period in 2007. The increase reflected increasing bank loans of LEK and L&L Coal subsidiaries during the quarter, reflecting sales activities increase.

Minority Interest:

Minority interest for the period ended July 31, 2008 is $1,894,230, representing an increase of $1,706,273 (or 908%) from $187,957 for the same period in 2007. The increase of minority interest is due to the acquisition of L&L Coal.

Net Income:

Income increased by $2,700,389 (or 2,525%) to $2,807,324 during the current quarter, comparing to net income of $106,935 for the same period of 2007, as a result of L&L Coal sales and KMC coal sales increase during the current period.

Change in Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The following factors affected the Company’s liquidity status and capital resources:

Operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,497,084 during the current period ended July 31, 2008. While in the same of period in 2007, the net cash provided by operating activities was $72,467. By comparing these two periods, it shows an increment of cash provided by operating activities of $6,424,617 (or 8,866%). The increment was mainly due to the combined effect of an increase of the current period operating profit of L&L Coal, KMC and LEK operations by $2,700,389, increase of minority interest by $7,782,195, and increase of accounts payable by $7,857,952; and decrease of account receivable of $4,639,846, and decrease of prepaid and other assets by 7,682,225. The Company's operating cash flow is highly dependent upon its ability to bill the L&L Coal, KMC and LEK sales and collect these billings in a timely manner.

Investing activities: Net Cash used in investing activities was $6,863,293 during the current period ended July 31, 2008, while $131,303 was generated during the same period in 2007. The increase of net cash used of $6,994,596 (or -5,327%) was due to the purchase of property and equipment, and purchase of intangible assets.

Financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $432,124 during the current period ended July 31, 2008, while $486,717 was generated during the same period in 2007. It shows a decline of $54593 (or -11%), which was mainly due to less shareholders convert their warrants into L&L shares in 2008.

The current assets of the Company were $34,666,989 and $20,770,961 for the current period ended on July 31, 2008, and for the same period in 2007, respectively. The increase in current assets of $13,896,028 (or 67%) was primarily due to the increase of prepayment and other receivable of $8,443,015 as coal business of L&L Coal and KMC is hot thus can ask for cash prepayment, increase of account receivable of $4,597,903, increase of inventory of $784,215, and increase of cash of $336,145.

The current liabilities were $18,286,844 and $11,438,488 for the current period ended on July 31, 2008, and for the same period in 2007, respectively. The significant increase of the current liabilities by $6,848,356 (or 60%) was primarily due to the acquisition L&L Coal.

22


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

The Company's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities, a ratio used to determine the Company's ability to pay its short-term liabilities) is 1.90 as of July 31, 2008 compared to 1.82 in the same period ended on July 31, 2007. As a general rule, the higher the current ratio, the more likely the Company will be able to pay its short-term bills.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In doing so, the company has to make estimates and assumptions based on the U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US 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. The nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment, necessary to account for highly uncertain matters of the susceptibility of such matters to changes; and the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operation performance may be material. The reason the uncertainties involved in may be that there is an uncertainty attached to the estimated or assumption, or it just may be difficult to measure or value.

As the assumptions for specific sensitivity may change as a result of other possible outcome, that these estimates/assumptions may changed in the future and may affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)      pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
(ii)      provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
(iii)      provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 

The following accounts my require estimates in computing the balances:

Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers.

Accounts receivable - Majority of the Company's accounts receivable is due from its customers in China. The Company determines any required allowance, by considering a number of factors including length of time trade accounts receivable are past due and the Company's previous loss history. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. When payments subsequently received on such receivables, they are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories - Inventories comprise finished goods and work–in-progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, calculated on the first-in, first-out basis, comprises materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 10 years.

23


Not recording value of coal reserves - On a conservative basis, the Company does not record value of 2 Mines' coal reserves which the Company has an exclusive right to excavate for commercial purposes and on a long term basis, evidenced by the exclusive government 2 mining licenses of the 2 Mines.

Income taxes - The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of financial statements. Its income from overseas controlled subsidiaries is not subject to the United States federal income taxes, as income not repatriated to the US is subject to the IRS code.

Financial Instruments - Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivables, related party receivables, investments in equity securities and obligations under a bank credit facility. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and the credit facility approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the related party receivables is estimated on the basis of arms’ length transactions.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, 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. Based on the past experience, these estimates are reasonably accurate, may have not been changed, and it is our best belief that these estimates are reasonably not likely to be changed in the future under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company issued warrants to compensate directors and executive in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and provides the pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock warrants granted, as if the fair-value-based method defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had been applied. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense is recorded on the date a warrant is granted only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company has issued two types of warrants (Class D, and Class E). As of April 30, 2005, no options have been granted.

The Company from time-to-time may grant restricted stock to employees and executives to award their services. Compensation cost if any, is to be charged as expenses on the grant date.

The Company follows SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. Under SFAS 123R, stock compensation is based on the fair value of such instruments. The Company made additional disclosure on Note 22: Employee Stock Option Plan.

  a) Pro Forma Net Income and Earning Per Share:

Under SFAS 123, the Company's net earnings, and earning per share are adjusted to the pro forma amounts for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, and 2007, as follows:

    (Per $ Thousand)
    3 months period ended    12 months period ended 
    7/31/2008    4/30/2008 
Net income - as reported    $3,477    $1,500 
Stock-Based employee compensation         
Expense included in reported net income, net of tax         
Total stock-based employee compensation expense         
determined, under fair- value-based method for         
all rewards, net of tax         



Pro forma net profit    $3,477    $1,500 

The fair value of the options granted in the year ended July 31, 2008 was determined based on the minimum value method. That calculation assumed no dividends, 5 year lives and risk free interest rate of 3.25% .

24


Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that the Company assess the value of a long-lived asset whenever there is an indication that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value. For purposes of these tests, long-lived assets must be grouped with other assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. No long-lived assets were impaired during the quarters ended July 31, 2008 and 2007.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. For public entities that file as a small business issuer, SFAS No. 123R is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period of the Company’s first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets – an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” to amend APB No. 29 by eliminating the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange is defined to have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. The Company will consider SAB No. 107 during implementation of SFAS No. 123R.

In August 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, and it changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting them. Unless it is impractical, the statement requires retrospective application of the changes to prior periods’ financial statements. This statement is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

SFAS 155 – ‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’

This Statement, issued in February 2006, amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”

This Statement:

a. Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation

b. Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 133

c. Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation

d. Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives

25


e. Amends FASB Statement No.140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of our first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

The Company is currently reviewing the effects of adoption of this statement but it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

SFAS 156 – ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140’

This Statement, issued in March 2006, amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:

1. Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations.

2. Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.

3. Permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

4. At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a service elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

5. Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed by the Company whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the assets’ net carrying value. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets.

Earning Per Common Share - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which supersedes APB No. 15. Net profit per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic earning per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net profit per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Basic EPS differs from primary EPS calculation in that basic EPS does not include any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS must be disclosed regardless of the dilutive impact to basic EPS (See Note 13).

Foreign currency translation - The foreign subsidiaries maintain their financial statements in the local currency which has been determined to be the functional currency. Substantially all overseas operations are conducted in China, using

26


the functional currencies Renminbi (RMB). Assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

During the quarter ended July 31, 2008, the contractual obligations are as follows:

1) A new, operational sub-lease of L&L Seattle office located at 130 Andover Park East, Suite 101, Seattle WA 98188 was entered on April 1, 2008. Lease will be terminated on September 30, 2010. The monthly office lease is $2,762.67, with a security deposit of $2,762.67.

2) A lease of L&L energy operational center located at 5th floor, Unida Bldg,, Kunming, Yunnan was entered in 2007 for a period of one and half years expires in December 2008. The entire lease is not renewable with approx $6,000 payment for the entire lease, made in advance in 2007.

The rent expense for the past quarters ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 were in the amounts of approx. $4,906 and $14,081 respectively.

3) See NOTE 23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES on page 20 for other disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, 100% of our consolidated revenues and 100% of consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), with the balance denominated in U.S. dollars. Substantially all of our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Despite the coal (energy) is in shortage of the growing China economy, leading upward movement of coal related prices, market risks do exist if the market situation changed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company with the participation of its principal executive officer (“CEO”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company, its CEO, and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of 7/31/2008, covered by this report.

As required by Rule 15e-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the company has evaluated the internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, no such change in the internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the quarter ended 7/31/2008, covered by this Report, no changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are aware that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met, and that maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures is an ongoing process that may change over time.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk information contained in the following, the risk factors also include the reports we incorporated in Form 10-Q by reference. Each reader and investor should carefully read and consider these risk factors which may affect the Company’s future results and financial conditions.

1.      Risks Relating To The Company and it Business
 
  The Registrant’s main business is operating in China. China is developing fast, but China has sophisticated, long history with complicated cultural traditions, which are vastly different from that of the US. The decision making process of China is different than that of the US, which becomes a major risk to the Company incorporated in the US. As China is still developing legal system, laws in China are not the same as the US. The coal business with US ownership controls is allowed in China. However the coal mining in China may subject to governmental influence and control. Potential industrial accidents, and mining safety are important a risk to the Company. Business activities conducted in China are not covered by the US Constitution, nor by the American judicial system. Any legal system reversal, social unrest in China could adversely affect the Company business, its financial conditions and results of operations.
 
  As the Company entered into coal mining business, mining related industrial accidents do happen. It is Chinese government policy to improve mining safety to avoid accidents. The Company is reviewing the existing operational standards, including insurance coverage, and is in discussion with Japan coal mining companies and to recruit professional managers, trying to improve the QC standards of mining operation.
 
  There are critical risks each investor needs to consider them seriously before making an investment in the Company.
 
2.      Ownership of Land, and Mining Rights.
 
  Contrary to the out-right land ownership in the US, land in China is only leased to owners on a long term basis, ranging from 40 to 70 years. This is a system similar to the land lease in New Territory of Hong Kong, during the British colonization in Hong Kong, which ended in 1997. Currently, no law in China prohibits the continuing lease of the same land by the lessee after expiration of the lease.
 
  Coal Mining licenses are the exclusive evidence for the coal mine’s mining rights approved by the Chinese government. Similar to the ownership of land, coal reserves are owned by the Chinese government which leases to a mining operation on a long term (normally 50years), an exclusive mining rights to operate the mine via a mining license. The government charges all mining operators a resources (usage) fee ranging from 2%-3% based on the value of the coal excavated from the ground. A coal mining licenses once issued is to be reviewed and renewed (normally) once a year.
 
3.      Cultural, Political and Language Differences
 
  There are material cultural, political and language differences between China and the United States, which make business negotiations and doing business more difficult in China than that in the United States. Further, continuing trade surpluses, led by the Chinese export to the US over the US export to China, has become a sensitive political issue in the United States, and various members of United States legislature have threatened trade sanctions against China, if China continues its trade surplus with the US. In addition, continuous strong economic growth in China with its possible military buildup may result in American economic sanctions against China that could adversely affect the financial position and results of operations of the Registrant.
 

28


4.      Uncertainty of exchange rate of Chinese Currency (RMB) to the US Dollars
 
  Currently, the Chinese RMB currency is set at a fixed rate against the US dollars and other foreign currencies. RMB is not freely exchanged in the global markets. The Chinese currency is considered by many to be under valued against other foreign currencies, and the US dollars. The Chinese RMB thus may appreciate against the US dollars. RMB value has increased since the summer of 2005, and the trend of further appreciation of RMB against US dollars continues in 2008. When and if the Chinese Government allows a floating exchange rate, it is expected the RMB will appreciate more in its value. The United States has requested that China allow its currency exchange rate to float freely. Implications of currency fluctuation may or may not be favorable to the Company and its investments in China.
 
5.      Reliance upon Key Management
 
  The future success of L & L’s investments in China is dependent on the Company’s management team, including Chairman and CEO of the Company and its professional team, advisors, who speak the languages, understand culture differences of doing business internationally.
 
  If one or more of the Company’s key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company may not be able to easily replace them, and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel. The Company’s business could be severely disrupted and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, since the industries the Company invests in are characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, the Company may need to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain key personnel in the future. The Company cannot assure its investors that it will be able to attract or retain the key personnel needed to achieve our business objectives. Furthermore, the Company does not maintain key-man life insurance for any of its key personnel. Currently, most executives and managers are covered by a one-year term accident insurance policy in China, paid by the Company.
 
6.      Some Director and Officers may reside outside United States
 
  Because the diversity of the Company's directors and officer(s) who may reside both inside and outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce his or her rights against them or enforce United States court judgments against them if they live outside the US. After the consummation of the 2 mines (provisional named as L&L Coal Inc) acquisition, the KMC coal wholesales, and LEK operations, most of the Company's assets are located in China, outside of the United States. The Company will continue to acquire other energy related entities in China in the future. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to affect service of process upon the Company's directors or officers, or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of the Company's directors and officers under Federal securities laws. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the Federal securities laws. Insurance Coverage in China
 
  Despite the assets are generally insured, the Company has a very limited business insurance coverage in China. The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. In particular, insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. As a result, the executives and managers of the Company only have limited one-year accident insurance coverage. No other business liability or disruption insurance coverage is available for the Company's operations in China, nor for the two Mines (under the provisional name of L&L Coal Partners), KMC, LEK and LSP subsidiaries in China. Any business disruption, industrial accidents in coal related operations, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources.
 
7.      Chinese Legal System/Enforcement of Agreements, Including Acquisition Agreements in China.
 
  Despite China has its own enforcement agency, securities regulators, the Chinese Legal System are in a developmental stage. In addition, the existing Chinese laws generally are not enforceable to the same extent as that in the US. The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, resulting in significant uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation in China. Consequently, there is a risk that should a dispute arise between the Company and any party with whom the Company has entered into a material agreement
 

29


  in China, the Company may be unable to enforce such agreements under the Chinese legal system. Chinese law will govern almost all of the Company's acquisition agreements, many of which may also require the approval of Chinese government agencies. Thus, the Company cannot assure investors that the target business will be able to enforce any of the Company’s material agreements or that remedies will be available outside China.
 
  Moreover, the Registrant is aware that the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") SAFE on October 21, 2005 issued a new circular ("Circular 75"), effective November 1, 2005, which supersedes Circular 11 and Circular 29 ceased to be implemented. SAFE also issued a news release about the issuance of its Circular 75 to make it clear that China’s national policies encourage the efforts by Chinese private companies and high technology companies to obtain offshore financing. Circular 75 confirm that the uses of offshore special purpose vehicles (“SPV”) as holding companies for PRC investments are permitted as long as proper foreign exchange registrations are made with SAFE. As China starts to develop its legal system, additional legal, administrative, and regulatory rules and regulations become available on a on-going basis, which the Registrant may subject to comply in China. It is Chinese cultural, political practice to welcome friendly US investors, and it is China government practice not to vigorously enforce many SAFE matters if to enforce it at all. In China, many economic related rules if not being complied rigorously without bad intent, can often be amended and resolved on a case by case basis without severe penalty, as China believes society is ruled by People, not ruled by Law, to maintain a harmonious environment, which is vastly different from that of the US.
 
  Despite the entire registration has not completed, the Registrant received an approval of from the Chinese government of L&L ownership of KMC and LSP as of July 31, 2008. The 2 coal mines (DaPuAn Mine and SuTsong Mine) recently acquired is in a process to prepare registration with the Chinese government, under a provisional name of L&L Coal Partner. While LEK investment being formulated in 2004 prior to the SAFE Circular, maybe grand-fathered out off the SAFE registration. It is unclear to what extent the regulations is applied to the Registrant, the Registrant believes that Circular 75 or other related Circular, or regulations may likely be further clarified by SAFE, in writing or through oral comments by officials from SAFE, or through implementation by SAFE in connection with actual transactions.
 
8.      Risks Associated with the Company’s Business Strategy Contemplating Growth May Need More Capital
 
  As the Company continues to grow quickly, it requires capital infusions from the capital market . Under the strategies, the ability to grow through will depend on its availability of additional fund, suitable acquisition targets at an acceptable cost. The Registrant’s ability to compete effectively to reach agreement with acquisition targets on commercially reasonable terms to secure financing is critical and to attract professional managers are critical to the Registrant success. The benefits of an acquisition may take considerable time to develop and we cannot assure investors that any particular acquisition or joint venture will produce the intended benefits. Moreover, the identification and completion of these transactions may require us expend significant management and other resources.
 
9.      The Company Acquisition Strategy May Result In Dilution To Its Stockholders
 
  The Company business strategy calls for strategic acquisition of other coal related businesses. In the past, the acquisitions of KMC and LEK the Company issued 485,592 common shares and 1,708,283 common shares respectively as consideration for these two purchases. There are 400,000 shares issued to the 2 Mines (under the provisional name of L&L Coal Partners) on 8/12/2008. It is anticipated that future acquisitions will require cash and issuances of L&L capital stock, including our common stock, warrants, preferred shares, or convertible bonds in the future. To the extent we are required to pay cash for any acquisition, we anticipate that we would be required to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing from either the public sector, or private financing. Equity financing would result in dilution for our then current stockholders. Stock issuances and financing, if obtained, may not be on terms favorable to us and could result in substantial dilution to our stockholders at the time(s) of these stock issuances and financings. Availability of significant amounts of our common stock for sale could adversely affect its market price.
 
  As of July 31, 2008, there were approximately 21,477,214 shares of our common stock outstanding with certain amount of warrants issued. Please refer to the Statement of Shareholders Equity for details.
 

30


10.      Recently enacted changes in securities laws and regulations are likely to increase our costs
 
  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), which became law in July 2002, requires changes in our corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance practices. Sarbanes-Oxley also requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to promulgate new rules on a variety of corporate governance and disclosure subjects. We expect these developments to increase our legal and financial compliance costs.
 
  We also expect these developments in additional to the existing securities rules and regulation to make it more difficult and more expensive for the Company to attract and retain additional members of the board of Directors (both independent and regular ones), and additional executive officers especially a recruitment of a full time CFO. In the worst case, at the expenses of increasing securities laws and regulations, the Company may not be able to continue to maintain its status as a US public company, and may need to seek listing in a market outside the United States, such as Hong Kong Stock Exchange among others foreign exchanges, or become a private company.
 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the first quarter ended 7/31/2008, the following small un-registered sales of equity securities incurred. There is no paid agent or commission involved.

1)      Certain shares are issued to an arm’s- length family trust on 6/28/2008. Proceed is used for operations. See Exhibit 1.1 of this filing.
 
2)      Certain warrants issued to a departed CFO, Gene Bennett on 6/12/2008 with no cash received. See Exhibit 1.2

10-Q EXHIBIT INDEX
