ITEM 1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation ("North American") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1969. The Company changed its name from Western Natural Gas Company to North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation on October 17, 1994 in connection with its merger with OM Investors, Inc. Until August 20, 2001, the Company was engaged in the video gaming business through its partial ownership of three operating companies that operated video poker machines located in truck stops inLouisiana. Effective August 20, 2001, the Company sold all of the Company's interest in the three operating companies. The Company did not liquidate as a result of the sale of its assets but began to seek business and acquisition opportunities, leading to the Transactions. Effective February 4, 2008, we acquired a controlling interest in Shaanxi Chang Jiang Si You Neng Yuan Fa Zhang Gu Feng You Xian Gong Si ("Chang Jiang"), a China corporation, in exchange for a controlling interest in the Company.
Since our acquisition of Chang Jiang our primary business activity is exploration and we expect to begin mining, processing and distributing gold, zinc, and lead in 2009. Currently all of our business is in the Shaanxi Province, China . We have engaged in exploration and expect to begin to operate mines in the Qinba Mountain Area at a geologic junction of "Shan, Zha, Zhen, Xun", which are the four primary metallogenic prospective areas in the Shaanxi Province. This region has historically contained reserves of high-grade minerals of gold, lead and zinc. As this has traditionally been a mining area, we believe we can meet our requirements for experienced miners and general labor teams at an attractive cost.
Chang Jiang was incorporated in the name of Weinan Industrial and Commercial Company Limited as a limited liability company in the PRC on March 19, 1999.The Company became a joint stock company in January 2006 with its business activities as an investment holding company and development of theme park in Xi'An, PRC. Beginning in August 2005, Chang Jiang contributed $7,928,532 by injection of certain land use rights in lieu of cash to the registered capital of Shaanxi Huanghe Wetland Park Company Limited ("Huanghe"), representing 92.93% of the equity of Huanghe.
In 2007 Chang Jiang engaged in a series of acquisitions, divestitures and exchanges that reorganized the company so that its operations are now principally mining lead, zinc and gold in an 67.82 sq. km area in Jiao Shan Zhai, Guo Jia Ling, Xunyang County, in the Shaanxi Province of China. The transactions and history of the Company is as follows.
On February 5, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire 40% of the equity interest in Dongfang Mining Company Limited ("Dongfang Mining") at a consideration of $3,117,267 payable in cash. Dongfang Mining has engaged in exploration for lead, zinc and gold mining near the city of Xi'An in the Shaanxi Province of the, PRC.
On March 22, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with a related party of the Company to exchange its 92.93% interest in Huanghe for 20% equity interest in Dongfang Mining owned by the related party.
On August 15, 2007, 97.2% of the stockholders of Chang Jiang entered into a definitive agreement with Tai Ping Yang and the stockholders of Tai Ping Yang in which they disposed their ownership in Chang Jiang to Tai Ping Yang for 98% of ownership in Tai Ping Yang and cash of $1,328,940 payable on or before December 31, 2007.
Hongkong Wah Bon Enterprise Limited ("Wah Bon") was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 7, 2006 as an investment holding company and wholly owned foreign enterprise ("WOFE".) On September 2, 2007, Wah Bon acquired 100% ownership of Tai Ping Yang at a consideration of $128,205 in cash.
As a result of these various transactions, the resulting company as of 31/12/2008 is as follows:
a. Wah Bon owns 100% of Tai Ping Yang;
b. Tai Ping Yang owns 97.2% of Chang Jiang; and
c. Chang Jiang owns 60% of Dongfang Mining.
The members have limited liability for the obligations or debts of the entity.
The resulting corporate structure is diagrammed below:
							-------------------- 							 Wah Bon 							-------------------- 							 / 100% 							 / 							-------------------- 							 Tai Ping Yang 							-------------------- 							 / 97.2% 							 / 			--------------------		-------------------- 			 Weinan Industrial ___________ Changjing 			 Commercial Co.

On February 4, 2008, we completed the Exchange pursuant to the Plan of Exchange (the "Exchange"), by and among us, Chang Jiang, and the Chang Jiang Shareholders. Under the Agreement, the Wah Bon shareholders received 500,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock each carry the right to 1,218 votes per share and will be convertible into common stock at a rate sufficient to yield an aggregate of 609 Million pre-split common shares upon conversion, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
To comply with requirements of Chinese law (referred to as "WOFE"), we established the acquisition of Wah Bon and Tai Ping Yang to serve as offshore foreign entities for the purpose of consummating the acquisition. In the opinion of our Chinese counsel this permits the transfer of at least 97.2% shares of Chang Jiang to the first WOFE entity (Tai Ping Yang), then 100% shares of Tai Ping Yang to the second WOFE entity (Wah Bon.) Then 100% of the shares of Wah Bon can be conveyed to NAGM, indirectly making Chang Jiang a foreign entity. For purposes of the acquisition, all of Chang Jiang's rights, responsibilities and benefits are assigned to and assumed by Wah Bon. This procedure requires several stages of governmental approval by provincial authorities in the PRC. As of the Closing Date all required approvals had been obtained.
North American, Wah Bon, Tai Ping Yang, Chang Jiang and Dongfang Mining are hereafter referred to as (the "Company").
Sales and Marketing Although we have not yet begun to extract minerals from the property we have established a sales and marketing department. These persons have focused on identifying and establishing relationships with Companies that are likely to require our products. Lead and zinc can be freely sold and marketed throughout the PRC. As China remains a net importer of these metals, we believe a customer base exists within China.
Industry
General
Our primary business activity is anticipated to be mining, processing and distributing gold, zinc, lead, and other mineral products for which China's modernizing economy has experienced rapid growth in its manufacturing capacity. Despite high rankings in world production of nonferrous metals, China is still a net importer of nonferrous metals including lead and zinc. China's natural resources include coal, iron ore, petroleum, natural gas, mercury, tin, tungsten, antimony, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, magnetite, aluminum, lead, zinc, and uranium. There are governmental restrictions on foreign ownership of mines for gold and an outright ban on foreign ownership of mines for uranium.
We believe the increasing industrial capacity of China will continue to cause increased demand for industrial raw materials such as non-ferrous metals. We expect the price of zinc and lead will rebound in the near future, and continue to increase although prices may experience significant fluctuation.
Mineral Deposits
Dongfang Mining obtained the exploration rights to the Dongfang Parcel on Sep. 19th, 2003. In the same year, they finished 1/10,000 geological rough survey, geochemical profile survey and trench exploration on lead & zinc and gold mines in Dong Er Gou, Xunyang County within the area of 1.15 sq.km. by consigning the first geological team of Geology and Mineral Bureau of Shaanxi. Lead & zinc mineralization clues had been found and efforts began to evaluate reconnaissance and prospecting.
During 2005-2006, the company dug a prospecting hole with a spatial depth of more than 60 meters and a test trench with 240m3 in the region of Jiao Shan Zhai, and discovered five gold mine veins, each with a length of over 30 meters. Analyzed on the mineral information obtained, there are still relatively large gold deposits in this mining area. At the end of August 2007, three lead and zinc ore bodies and a gold ore body was preliminarily proven up, as indicated in the exploration information of the geological team.
At the end of 2008, the company finished the round survey of gold within the total area of .6.8 sq.km. And Began the particular survey on Feb 2009 by signing agreement with the No.1 exploration team of the geologic and mining exploration bureau of Shaanxi Province During the year,three valuable gold mines,located in the Jiao shan zhai have been indentified. The design of the particular survey on these 3 gold mines has been prepared and the company commenced the gold lode exploration before the year end.
The Company were on the rough survey stage on the zinc and lead in 2008. In Wei jia shan, Jiao shan zhai, and Shun jia he, where the rough survey had finished, 5 valuable Zinc and lead mines had identified to further survey. In other location within the Area, survey route had been identified and general forecast had been concluded.
The mining area covered by the Dongfang Parcel can be divided into three areas. Gold deposits are known in the area and management has estimated gold reserves at about 3-5 tons. Total reserves of lead and zinc ore in this region is 3-5 million tons, whose average grade is 8-15% and some even can reach as high as 45% based on the geologic studies
According to the report of May 16,2008, compiled by the No.1 exploration team of the geologic and mining exploration bureau of Shaanxi Province. the gold mine in Jiao shan zhai can reach the value of RMB 230,000,000 with the latest unit price of RMB 200 per gram. The potential value of the zinc and lead within the area can reach RMB 4,800,000,000 with the latest unit price of 16,000 per ton.
As a result, the total potential value of the mines can reach RMB 5,000,000,000.
Nonferrous Metals - Zinc
Lead and zinc resources are relatively abundant around the world. There is no deposit only of zinc under natural conditions, and ordinarily zinc exists with metals such as lead, copper, or gold, in the form of polymetallic ore. China's mining sector has experienced strong growth since 2001. Investment in miningexploration totaled 316.2 billion yuan (42.6 billion U.S. dollars) in the first nine months of 2007 according to Wang Min, Vice Minister of Land and Resources. At the China Mining Conference 2007 (sponsored by China's Ministry of Land and Resources), it was reported that China's mining output doubled to $190 Billion for the period 2000-2005. Iron ore production increased 38% to 406 Million tons and nonferrous metals increased 18% during that period. Nonetheless, China is still a net importer of lead and zinc.
Zinc is a soft metal used to makes brass when mixed with Copper. Zinc is used in the automotive and construction industries to galvanize steel, create metal alloys and in certain chemical processes. Research is being conducted in the area of zinc-air batteries.
According to the NONFERROUS METALS OUTLOOK, YEAR 2007 published by the Department of Natural Resources for the Canada Ministry of Public Works, deficits have occurred in each of the past five years for concentrate. Stockpiles have fallen and prices have risen as a result. In September 2006 China eliminated its 5% export rebate on refined lead and zinc in September, resulting in increased costs for metal exported from China. Chinese exports had increased 16% in 2006 from the same ten months period in 2005.
On August 1, 2008, China eliminated the 5% export tax rebate on #0 zinc, which decreases the export of zinc, increases the provide and ultimately worsen the market.
In 2007 China ranked 1st in the world both in zinc and lead production. The zinc output in China reached 3.72 million tons in 2007. increasing 17.8% compared to that of 2006 Calculated by the data in 2007, zinc output in China took up about 32.55% of the total global output
Worldwide zinc usage has increased from approximately 6.1 Million tons in 1985 to 11 Million tons in 2005. But only slightly increased to 11.4 million in 2007, and 11.75 million tons in 2008.Refers to the report of institute, CHR, the demand of zinc in 2010 may slightly decrease to 11.1 million tons.
The recession of zinc partly because of the financial crisis, partly came from the immoderate Development in the past several year. And the recession was considered the natural adjustment Of the industry. In the long run ,the demand increase will recover.
Average settlement prices for high grade zinc are listed below.

There are 433 above-surface mine enterprises in China, distributing in 24 provinces, cities and autonomous regions all over the country, including 37 enterprises whose respective annual output of zinc concentrate is more than 10 thousand tons and the total output of which takes up 45% of the nation's total. In the first half of year 2008, zinc concentrate output of China was 1,430,700 tons and zinc output was 1,920,200 tons, increasing 6.11% and 21.13% respectively compared to those of 2007.
Lead
Lead is the heaviest common metal known for malleability. Lead is resistant to corrosion and used for protection against harmful X-Rays and radiation. According to the Nonferrous Metals Outlook published by the Department of Natural Resources for the Canada Ministry of Public Works, 75 % of the world's demand for lead is for lead acid batteries for use in the automobile, industrial and consumer sectors. It is also used to attenuate radiation from radioactive sources and to provide corrosive resistant finishes to roofing.
World lead usage has increased from 4 Million Tons in 1985 to 5 1/2 Million Tons in 2001. The forecasts are for increased usage up to approximately 6 Million tons. Usage slowed slightly from 1999 to 2004 as lawsuits in the U. S. over lead based paints and emissions forced closures and damages. Exide, a U.S. lead acid battery producer, was forced into bankruptcy and the Lead Industries Association in the U. S. ceased its operations. Both cited the lawsuits as the primary factor.
In 2007 China ranked the first in the production of lead with the total output Of 2,757,400 tons which accounted for 34% of the global output.The Worldwide demand is expected to be stable in the future several years.
In the first half of 2008, the lead output of China reached 1,453,500 ton, slightly increasing 7.42% comparing those of 2007.
The average closing prices for lead on the London Metals exchange are as follows:

The bid/ask price for 15 months lead on the London Metals Exchange on May 17, 2009 was $1,312 for bid and $1,317 for ask. Source - london Metal Exchange.
Gold
In 2008, the gross industrial output value realized by gold enterprises over the country was 282 ton, with a growth of 4.26% compared to the same period of last year; and the gross production had growed for 2005,2006 and 2007, with the grow rate of 5.51%,7.15% and 12.67%.
Gold is the rare metal, which makes it impossible to fluctuate much higher or lower in supply. The market forcasts the slight increase of supply in the near future.
It is estimated that gold consumption in China will increase from previous 200 tons per year to 400-500 tons over the next several years, which may influence the international gold market price to a certain extent.
Despite the recession of the global economy in 2008, the gold price increased from $833 per ounce in the beginning year to $880 per ounce at year end, with the higest Price of $1,032 per ounce. Going with the economy depression, more and more investors choose the gold as the priority.

Competition
Our competitors in the nonferrous metals markets are expected to be local and regional mining enterprise. Other companies in China that mine lead and zinc include Dongshengmiao Mining Industry Co, Ltd, Wancheng Trading & Mining Co., Ltd., Xinjiang Wuqia Tianzhen Mining Co., Ltd., and Wulatehouqi Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd. These competitors have more experience in the operation of mines and mining activities and have superior financial resources than we do. China is still a net importer of lead and zinc along with the markets for many other non-ferrous metals. Since supply in general cannot meet demand we do not expect that we will have difficulty selling our ore for the near future. The gold market on a worldwide basis has seen large increases in demand since 2001, resulting in more than threefold increase in prices per ounce, from $435 in 2004 to $872 in 2008, according to the London Metals Exchange.China has traditionally protected its metallurgy industry with high tariffs,import quotas and restrictions on foreign ownership. These tariffs and import quotas were adopted to provide protections to companies such as ours that were part of the domestic industry in China. Due to WTO membership, China will lower tariffs, eliminate import quotas and permit more foreign competition, resulting in reduced protection for Chinese companies against foreign competitors. To maintain its WTO membership, China must gradually reduce these tariffs and quotas and commitments and permit foreign enterprises opportunities to sell and distribute in China. Eventually they will be eliminated altogether. This is expected to increase the effect of foreign competition and the importation of foreign products. We are unable to predict the effect these changes may have on our business, earnings, financial condition or the value of our properties and securities.
Government Regulation
We are subject to strict regulations imposed on mining companies in China. Regulations are issued or implemented by the Ministry of Land and Resources, a division of the China State Council, and similar land use offices at the local level. These regulations cover virtually all aspects of exploration and mining of natural resources in China.
Chinese mining companies must obtain two separate permits from the land resource divisions of the Provincial government. The first permit must be obtained before a mining enterprise can conduct exploring activities. The Company has obtained this license. The regulations also require a second mining license for extraction activities. We have obtained the first license for zinc, lead and gold.To maintain the licenses the Company must follow prescribed procedures in its exploring or mining activities.
Chinese regulations governing Work Safety require that we have a safety certification. These are administered by the Administration of Work Safety before it can engage in either mining or extracting activities. All of our operating subsidiaries have obtained appropriate safety certification from the Administration of Work Safety of local governments. We also have been granted
environmental certification from China Bureau of Environmental Protection.
Regulations governing the mining business in China include:
Exploration and Mining Regulation (1958), amended to allow foreign investment in 1996;
Exploration and Mining and Transfer of Rights Regulation (1998);
as well as numerous regulations governing safety by the China Mine Safety Law and environmental feasibility studies required by China Environmental Law.
The Chinese legal system is still developing and there is often confusion and uncertainty about the scope, interpretation and enforcement of its laws and regulations. The mining industry has been under scrutiny for its safety and environmental record and we cannot predict whether new laws or changes in interpretation and scope of existing laws may adversely affect our intended operations.
The Company has applied for excavation licenses in area for gold zinc and lead mining within the land use area. The geographical locations for these sites are:
Eastern longitude: 109* 26' 30'' - 109* 38' 30'' Northern latitude: 32* 55' 45'' - 33 * 01 ' 00 ''
We expect to make application for the final required permits of gold by and expect to obtain final approval during 2009. Upon approval, we will have the right to mine the specified areas. We expect to apply for additional extraction licenses within the land use area that have yielded positive results upon the conclusion of the exploration.
Summary of the Exploration Works in the Dongfang Mining
Geological Survey
The company commissioned a geological report from the First Geological Research Team of Shaanxi Geological and Mineral Department. A report dated October 26, 2007 was obtained that showed favorable results in several areas of the land use area. The report is summarized as follows:
1, Summary of the Geological Survey Report by the First Geological Research Team of Shaanxi Geological and Mineral Department dated January 13, 2008.
GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MINING AREA
a. Stratum
The surveyed area is mainly composed of metamorphic rock formed in middle-to-upper Silurian period and lower Devonian period. Most of the rocks are phyllite, sandstone, calcirudite rock, lime and dolomite.
b. Structure
The surveyed area is situated in the northern margin of the draped belt formed by Baishui River and Bai River. The frame of the structure is composed by Tizi Rock-Shuhe faultage, which extends by an east-west position. The Nan Yangshan faultage runs through the northern part of the surveyed area. The main structure consists of on-growing fractures and draped belts.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ORE / MINERALIZING ORE
Ore -containing layer of lead- zinc ore is explored out through the stratigraphic identified by 1:10000 Geological Survey. In the fourth lithologic section of middle Silurian period at Shuanghe town and the merger layers of upper Silurian period at Shuidong channel, the mining sections are mainly composed of brown ferruginous sandstone, siltstone and grey-yellow powder phyllite containing sodium.. According to the survey, three lead-zinc mines and one gold mine were pitched:
a. Lead zinc mine
Mine KH1 situates at Guan Men Zi Ya-Cai Miao Ya district and it's 1.0-1.5 meters wide, 700 meters long and averagely 0.76 meters thick. The average grade of mineralization is Pb1.22%, Zn0.67%. Control Engineering: TC9, TC3, YK1, TC6, TC18. The shape of the area is : 215 o -32 o {angle} 12 o -32 o.

Control Engineering: sampling point, 20 meter in the North of D206. The shape of the area is : 340 o {angle} 17 o. (Note: single engineering control)
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPOSED MINES
The study revealed approximately 16 gold minerals, primarily in 4 large deposits located at areas denoted as K1, K2 ,K3 and K11. Samplings in others areas are all single engineering control sites:
a. K1
The surface is controlled by six trenching structures. The length are 360 meters and the thickness is 0.29-4.30 m, with an average thickness of 1.23 m. Ore body grade is 1.24 - 10.06 g / t ,the average grade of mineralization is 2.7 g/t and the ore body occurrence is1* - 356 * {angle} 11 * - 50 *.
b. K2
Being controlled by three trenching structures. The length are 130 meters and the thickness is 0.22-0.89 m, with an average thickness of 0.55 m. Ore body grade is 1.29-9.51 g / t. , the average grade is 5.71 g / t and the ore body occurrence is 24 * - 320 * {angle} 9 * - 24 * .
c. K3
Being controlled by two trenching structures. The length are 100 meters and the thickness is 0.43-3.48 m, with an average thickness of1.96 m. The Ore body grade is 5.10-12.94 g / t , the average grade is 2.7 g / t and the ore body occurrence is -310 * - 320 * {angle} 20 * - 24 *.
d. K11
Being controlled by 1 trenching engineering and 2 pitting structures. The length are 100 meters and the thickness is 0.13-1.62 m, with an average thickness of0.86 m. The average grade is 4.86-7.76 g / t, and the ore body occurrence is 225 * -255 * {angle} 16 * -24 *
GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ENGINEERING
The roof and floor of the mines in the area mainly consist of sericite phyllite and sandstone. The fresh bedrock structure is dense. The cracks and holes show minimal changes, indicating a stable rock layer. This layer provides a very suitable foundation for excavation. During the course of construction there may be some small-scale breaks and cracks that need to be fortified. The transportation system is convenient and the water, electricity resources are sufficient to meet the construction needs.
ESTIMATION OF RESOURCES
Chang Jiang Shi You Neng Yuan Gong Si currently owns 3 main rich mining areas with large-scale gold reserves. It is primarily estimated that there are3-5 tons of gold reserves and there are 300 - 500 million tons of lead- zinc reserves. The average grade is 8-15%, with some ranging as high as 45%.
BASIS
The estimation of resources methods and requirements of this exploration is based on GB/T17766-1999" CLASSIFICATION FOR RESOURCES/RESERVES OF SOLID FUELS AND MINERAL COMMODITIES " and GB/T13908-2002 " General requirements for solid mineral exploration" DZ/T0214-2002 " Geological prospecting criterion for copper, lead, zinc, silver, nickel and molybdenum ore", "Reference manual of the mineral resource standard "and combined with the "opinion to the gold ore industry standard in `Shaan Xi Xun Yang Guo Jia Ling- Jiao Shan Zhai lead, zinc,gold ore exploration'" by Shaan Dong Kuang Fa*2007*002.to make out the industry standard to Jiao Jin Shan gold ore exploration.
Cutoff Grade 0.5 g / t
Minimum Industrial Grade 1.2 g / t
The average grade of ore deposit 1.6 g / t
The Minimum Mining Thickness *0.8 M
Thickness of the Interlayer to be Eliminated *2.0 M
When the ore body thickness is smaller than the Minimum Mining Thickness, using m {multiply} g / t.
RESOURCE ESTIMATION RESULTS
As mines K2 and K11 are relatively small, so we just made resource estimation to K1 and K3 getting the intrinsic economic resources (334) .The ore is 69460.43 tons and the metal is 244.31 kg. The ore in K1 is 43639.07 TONS, AND THE metal is103.26 kg; The ore in K3 is 25821.36 TONS, AND THE metal is 141.05 kg;
MINERALIZATION FORECAST
The exploration area is located in the northern margin of southern Qinling, Indo- Fold Belt Baishui Jiang- Bai He Fold Belt; the South East edge of Shan Zha Xun Chen Ji Pen Di. The area mainly exposes the sedimentary of paleozoic shallow metamorphised clastic rocks and carbonate rocks. Da Yang Synclinorium, Xun Yang anticline and Nan Yang Shan fault, Da Ling-Shu He fault form the the backbone of this area. The structure line lies from east to west. The characteristics of the rocks are easy of deformation and weak of metamorphism.
1:50000 stream sediment survey and 1:10000 soil measurement fix a 5 km long, four km wide gold anomalies area around Jiao Yang Shan Zhai about 15 square kilometres, and the anomaly area is about 0.11-3.15 square kilometers with abnormal value as high as 2900 PPbin the centrel concentration and 277.1ppb for an average value.
Environmental Regulation
Environmental protection laws in China are established on a national basis by the State Environmental Protection Administration. Provincial and local authorities can set local regulations which may be more restrictive than the national standards. Environmental standards govern a variety of matters including disposal of solid waste, discharge of contaminated water and handling of gases, and emissions. The local authorities generally monitor and enforce the regulations, including the assessment and collection of fees, fines and administrative orders.
We have only been engaged in exploration efforts to date so our environmental impact has been limited. If we are successful in commencing our extraction operations, we expect to generate waste water, gases and solid waste. We will therefore be subject to all national and local regulations governing these activities.
We will likely require a license for the disposal of water and solid wastes. Licenses must be renewed annually. We expect to be able to comply with the regulations including the rules governing water and solid waste disposal.
Research and Development
With the acquisition of Dong Fang we now have land use rights in 67.82 sq.km parcel located in Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province, PRC. We believe we can use a portion of the surface of the Dong Fang parcel to grow agricultural products which would be available for processing.
Employees
As of March 31, 2009, we have 16 full-time employees. This includes 2 people in marketing, 1 in manufacturing, 4 in research and development and quality control, 2 in financial and accounting, and 7 in general management. A breakdown of employees by subsidiary is below.
RISK FACTORS
Our Company and its securities are subject to significant risks to its business, operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider the risks described in this section as well as the remainder of the information in this report. If we are unable to manage these risks or if any of the risks are realized, our business, operations, and financial condition and the value of our stock would likely suffer. In that event our investors and stockholders could lose all or part of their investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
WE ARE AN EARLY STAGE EXPLORATION COMPANY FACING SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RISKS.
We operate in two segments: the development of a theme park and an exploration stage mining company that has acquired land use rights and exploration permits to a tract of land in an area traditionally associated with mining in the Shaanxi Province of central China. We are currently focused on the mining segment, determining the degree of mineralization of lead, zinc and gold within our properties. While we believe that there may be an opportunity to obtain commercially viable amounts of lead, zinc and gold from our property, we still face substantial hurdles. The exploration and extraction of mineral deposits such as lead, zinc and gold incur significant financial risks. The results of exploratory investigations are not always reliable or accurate even if conducted in strict compliance with professional guidelines. Furthermore, the investment must occur over a significant period of time even though the quantity of minerals within any property is always finite. Many properties are unable to develop commercially viable mines even with positive exploration results. Successful extraction depends on very expensive processes such as drilling, mine construction and establishment of processing facilities. Mines are also hazardous and only a limited number of qualified, experienced miners exist. The Company must obtain additional permits and must ramp up operations after permitting to begin extraction. We are unable to assure you that we will ultimately be successful in meeting these challenges or, even if so, it will result in our mining operations becoming a commercial viable or profitable enterprise.
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE NOTED THAT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our independent auditors have noted that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $13,352,228 at December 31, 2008 which includes a net loss of $1,557,424 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $7,713,247 and the Company used cash in operation of $922,059. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
WE HAVE NOT YET OBTAINED ALL OF THE LICENSES FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT THAT WE WILL NEED TO EXPLOIT ANY MINERALS ON OUR PROPERTIES.
China employs a two stage permitting process for permission to explore and extract minerals. The first permit allows a mining company to engage in exploration activities, such as boring exploratory holes, conducting mineral assays, field testing and so on. The Company's subsidiary, Dongfang Mining, acquired this license in 2003 and has since engaged in activities to determine the estimated mineralization of the property and relative cost and process needed to extract.
The second permit is for exploitation, which permits excavation and sale of extracted minerals. The Company are ready to apply for the gold exploitation permit, but has not yet obtained. While government officials have informally suggested that the permit will be approved, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully obtain the required permit. In that event, the value of our interest in the properties would be seriously impaired and would like result in a significant loss of value for the Company's assets as well as its securities.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR PROPERTY WILL CONTAIN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES OF COMMERCIALLY MARKETABLE MINERALS FOR US TO BECOME COMMERCIALLY VIABLE OR THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO ECONOMICALLY EXTRACT THE MINERALS.
We are an exploration stage Company and have not yet begun the process of excavating minerals from our property. We have engaged in limited investigation and geologic testing. Based on our preliminary findings, we believe there is sufficient mineralization to begin a commercially viable mining business. There can be no assurance however that our exploratory efforts will prove correct or that a commercially mineable mineralization exists on our property. Even if the conclusion that a sufficient quantity of minerals exists proves correct, it still may not be economically feasible to profitably extract the minerals for a wide variety of reasons, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control. Therefore we can offer no assurance that a profitable mining business will result from our efforts.
WE HAVE HAD NO REVENUES, A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES.
The Company was a "shell company" as defined by 2005 amendments to the Securities Exchange Act. We had no operations and no significant assets and existed only for the purpose of locating a business or business opportunity with which to join forces. We acquired a Chinese corporation that has begun attempts to establish a mine for lead, zinc and gold in February 2008.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, obtained a permit to begin exploratory efforts in 2003 and has not yet commenced actual mining of the land. We intend to commence gold extractions in 2009. We therefore have a very limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.
We have had no revenues and do not anticipate revenues until the exploitation permits are obtained, the mine infrastructure has been completed and the extraction of minerals has begun. As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had operating losses of $1,231,537 and $746,461 respectively. Net losses at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $1,557,424 and $8,959,472, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had comprehensive losses of $492,512 and $7,788,802, respectively.
These losses resulted from our exploration activities and corporate expenses including the amortization of our land use right s which must be amortized over each year of its 50 year life, whether or not exploitation has occurred.
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks and any failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete the construction of our theme park and the value of our land use right may be impaired.
The Company operates in two segments: mining and a proposed theme park business on the land that is subject to the land use rights. Currently the Company is focusing its efforts and resources exclusively in the mining segment. There are many risks and uncertainties associated with the intended construction of a theme park such as financing, permitting, contracting, and all of the risks of a new, start up enterprise. We cannot assure you that we will ever be successful in developing our intended theme park.
In addition, the Company's largest asset is the net land use rights which was valued at $17,508,609. If we do not successfully develop the theme park segment, there is a risk that the value of our land use rights would be impaired or possibly even forfeited.
There are a significant number of risks associated with operating a theme park such as risk of injury., any of which would adversely affect revenues.
Theme park operations are subject to a number of factors over which the Company will have little control. These factors include competition from other area entertainment sources, weather, local events, civil unrest and others. There is a risk of injury associated with many attractions at theme parks, which could give rise to liability. Any of these factors could negatively affect our revenues and earnings, if we commence theme park operations.
Theme parks have historically been subject to weather and seasonality over which we have no control.
In the event that we begin operations in the theme park industry, our revenues will be subject to a variety of caprices, such as inclement weather and seasonality. The vast majority of theme park patrons attend only in fair weather. Since we expect to operate only one theme park the risks associated with inclement weather are not spread over a number of differing geographical areas. Therefore, we expect that inclement weather will have a significantly adverse impact our revenues.
DUE TO OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY FORECAST REVENUES.
Due to our limited operating history and our planned growth through increased sales, we are currently unable to accurately forecast our future revenues. Our current and future expense levels are largely based on our investment plans and estimates of future revenues, which are expected to increase. Revenues and operating results generally depend on the effectiveness of our marketing strategies to penetrate the market and the success of our research and development efforts which are difficult to forecast as we are in a relatively new company. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, as a strategic response to changes in our competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain pricing or marketing decisions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had current assets of $2,008,108 and $1,685,789 respectively. The remainder of our assets consists of land use rights that are illiquid. As we begin to implement our strategies to excavate the property and exploit the minerals, we will likely experience cash flow deficits and increased capital needs that may exceed our available capital. We may need to fund our future operations with additional funding. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors affecting our profitability, including (i) the time and expense of ramp up of the extraction activities, (ii) the amount and quality of minerals extracted, (iii) our ability to contain expenditures, especially for administrative and transportation costs, and (iv) the amount of our expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain funding in the future to meet our needs.
We currently have no lines of credit or other arrangements for capital and cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available to us. Even if we locate available capital, it may be on unfavorable terms. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders.
FLUCTUATION OF THE CHINESE CURRENCY COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We have not yet commenced mining operations and do not have revenues. Since all of our revenues are expected to be derived and expenses and liabilities incurred are in China, by exchange rate fluctuations of the Chinese currency will affect our revenues and operating results. Presently we do not expect to sell our products outside of China but we could sell to foreign interests as a result of competitive forces or changes to our business plan.
For over a decade the value of the Chinese currency was pegged to the U. S. Dollar and fluctuations in value were therefore relatively mild. In July 2005, China abandoned the peg and changed to a floating exchange rate. The new rates are market based compared to a basket of foreign currencies. These changes would likely strengthen the RMB as compared to the U. S. Dollar and would likely make our products more expensive for U. S. and foreign buyers. We cannot give any assurance that the value of the RMB will continue to remain stable against the US dollar or any other foreign currency. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts on earnings and equity as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Furthermore, any devaluation of the RMB may adversely affect the dividends we may pay to our parent, thereby adversely affecting the value of, and dividends payable on, our common stock.
We expect our revenues to consist almost entirely of Renminbi or "RMB", which is the Chinese currency. The RMB is currently not a fully convertible currency. The Chinese government may restrict future access to foreign currencies for current account transactions. This may make it difficult for us to transfer money from China to other countries on an economically advantageous basis or even at all. It may also make it difficult for us to provide a return on the investment of foreign capital on a liquid basis.
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
We are subject to PRC national and local environmental protection regulations which currently impose fees for the discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution, and provide for the closure by the PRC government of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring us to cease or improve upon certain activities causing environmental damage. Due to the nature of our business, we produce significant amounts of waste water, gas, and solid waste materials during the course of our production. We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for us to comply with the existing national, provincial, and local environmental protection regulations. However, PRC national, provincial, or local authorities may impose additional or more stringent regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental matters or changes in our processes or systems.
WE DEPEND ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
Much of our success will depend to a large degree upon our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel, particular experienced miners and persons familiar with the marketing, manufacturing and administrative processes associated with mining. We depend on the skills of our management team and current key employees, such as Mr. Chen Wei Dong, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. We may be unable to retain our existing key personnel or attract and retain additional key personnel.
The loss of any of our key employees or the failure to attract, and retain experienced miners or additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A PUBLIC COMPANY AND WILL NEED TO PROCURE ASSISTANCE FROM PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS AND THIRD PARTIES AT ADDITIONAL EXPENSE.
Our management team and current key employees have not been engaged in similar capacities with other public reporting companies and are not familiar with the multitude of filings, regulations and requirements applicable to a public company. We will require the assistance of outside counsel and accountants and perhaps other third party advisers as well. We have no assurance that we will successfully find qualified, experienced people to perform these tasks. Even if successful, the fees and expense for these third parties will be an additional administrative cost that may not be shared by our competitors. In addition, if the advice given or work performed by these outside advisers proves to be inadequate or incorrect, the Company and its management will nonetheless bear the brunt of the costs and penalties assessed, with limited avenues of redress against the outside advisers.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING.
The Company's operations are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to the exploration for and development and production of precious minerals, any of which could result in damage for which the Company may be held responsible. Many hazards are beyond our control, such as unusual or unexpected rock formations, bad weather, landslides, cave-ins, high water tables, flooding or other unfavorable conditions that are unknown until we begin extraction of minerals. If we experience losses from these or other risks, it may cause substantial delays and require significant additional expenditures. These conditions would likely adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and the value of our securities.
China has recently experienced a number of serious incidents in its mining industry that resulted in loss of life and serious personal injury. Some mines have collapsed or were otherwise forced to close due to unsafe conditions. We would likely suffer material losses if any of these events were to occur, and the effect on our business and the price of our securities would be adverse and maybe irreversible.
MARKET PRICES FOR NON-FERROUS METALS FLUCTUATE AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR COMPANY AND OUR SECURITIES.
Market prices for lead, zinc and gold, the metals we primarily intend to mine experience significant fluctuations in price. We are entering the business at a time that the prices of lead and zinc are extraordinarily low, and just one year ago the price were still on the extraordinarily high level, which means the value of the lead and zinc shrank 2/3 in a year. The profitability of our operations will be directly related to the prices we will be able to obtain in the marketplace. The market prices of lead, zinc, gold and non-ferrous metals are subject to factors beyond our control. These factors include changes in legal and regulatory requirements, changes in the exchange rates of the Renminbi and other currencies, worldwide economic recession, political and economic factors and variations in production costs among a number of other factors. A reduction in the price or demand for our metals would adversely impact our expected revenues.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT OWNS ALL LANDS IN CHINA, AND CHINA ISSUES LAND USE RIGHTS INSTEAD OF LEGAL TITLE TO THE PROPERTIES. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR RIGHTS TO THE PROPERTIES WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT OR LOSS.
Despite modernization efforts in many areas, China still adheres to a communist scheme for ownership of property that essentially vests title to the entire country in the Central Government. Rather than deeds or other evidence of ownership, land use rights are always subject to fixed periods of permitted land use. These periods are frequently 50 years and may be renewable under some circumstances. Our land use right is 50 years and is amortized over its life. We recorded accumulated amortization expense of $1,638,232 and $1,148,124 at December 31 2008 and 2007 respectively.
Disputes over mining claims are common. A loss of our property rights or mining rights would likely cause irreversible damage to the Company and the price of its securities and could result in the loss of the entire value of our Company.
NONFERROUS MINERALS ARE FINITE AND EACH MINE HAS A LIMITED USEFUL LIFE. WE HAVE PERFORMED ONLY LIMITED GEOLOGICAL STUDIES, AND OUR PLANS TO EXPLOIT OUR CURRENT PROPERTIES FOR NONFERROUS METALS MAY BE CURTAILED OR EXHAUSTED. WE HAVE NOT ENGAGED IN EFFORTS TO INVESTIGATE THE ACQUISITION OF OTHER AREAS OR ANY EXPANDED POTENTIAL FOR OUR PARCEL.
Mines have limited lives and usually cannot be re-commissioned after exhaustion of the economically extractable minerals. We must continually seek to replace and expand our mineralization and reserves through the acquisition of new properties. Significant competition exists for the acquisition of properties producing or capable of producing gold and non-ferrous metals. We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because we must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which may have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire attractive mining properties on acceptable terms.
CHINA'S GROWTH HAD BEEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND THE FINANCIAL CRISIS DIRECTLY DEPRESS THE ECONOMY CURRENTLY, WHICH IMPLYS THE COMING OF CONTRACTION BUSINESS CYCLE.
Essentially all of our business is located in China and will be conducted in China. We expect to sell all of our extracted minerals in China. The need for these minerals throughout the world is affected by the increasing demand in China. We are therefore depending on the continuation of the economic growth in China to maintain demand for our lead and zinc and, to a lesser extent, gold. The financial crisis abruptly and sharply slow down China's growth pace. The economy Contraction has adversely affected the non-ferrous metals industry. The stock price Came down with a great extent in a short time. Many Company in the industry had to Stock up the metals in order to lessen the impact.
Though the Chinese central government has recently stimulated the economy in all means, which may counteract some adverse effect. But the majority expected that the lower growth is unavoidable and the bottom of the economy has not yet reached. If the economic growth in China continue to slows or even reverses it would likely have an adverse effect on our business, its revenues and financial condition, and the value of our properties and securities. We cannot assure you when the economic turning point will come.
SHORTAGES OF CRITICAL PARTS, EQUIPMENT AND SKILLED LABOR MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
The industry has been impacted by increased worldwide demand for critical resources such as input commodities, drilling equipment, tires and skilled labor. These shortages have caused and may continue to cause unanticipated cost increases and delays in delivery times, potentially impacting operating costs, capital expenditures and production schedules.
RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR INTENDED BUSINESS.
All of our assets and operations are in the PRC. As a result our operating results and financial performance as well as the value of our securities could be affected by any adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions in China.
The Chinese government adopted an "open door" policy to transition from a planned economy to a market driven economy in 1978. Since then the economy of the PRC has undergone rapid modernization although the Chinese government still exerts a dominant force in the nation's economy. This continues to include reservation to the state of land use rights or mining and exploration rights and includes controls on foreign exchange rates and restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership in various industries including mining. All lands in China are state owned and only restricted "land use rights" are conveyed to business enterprises or individuals.
All of our intended exploration and mining activities require approvals from the local government authorities in China. Obtaining governmental approval is typically a lengthy and difficult process with no guaranty of success. Since the lands where our mines are located were acquired through the grant of a land use right, changes in government policy could adversely affect our business. This process may adversely affect our future business expansion.
The Chinese government operates the economy in many industries through various five-year plans and even annual plans. A large degree of uncertainty is associated with potential changes in these plans. Since the economic reforms have no precedent, there can be no assurance that future changes will not create materially adverse conditions on our business.
Some of the measures of The People's Republic of China are anticipated to negatively affect on us. For example, the government maintains control over capital investments in the mining of various 3precious metals, including gold. While we believe we currently comply with all applicable regulations, changes could be materially adverse. Also China has recently pronounced changes to tax regulations and regulations pertaining to business acquisitions.
Due to the limited effectiveness of judicial review, public opinion and popular voting there are few avenues available if the governmental action has a negative effect. Any adverse changes in the economic conditions, in government policies, or in laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business.
THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL.
The political and economic systems of the PRC are very different from the United States and more developed countries. China remains volatile in its social, economic and political issues which could lead to revocation or adjustment of reforms. There are also issues between China and the United States that could result in disputes or instabilities. Both domestically and internationally the role of China and its government remain in flux and could suffer shocks, or setbacks that may adversely affect our business.
THE CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE UNITED STATES WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS PROTECTION FOR INVESTORS, AND IT MAY BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SEEK LEGAL REDRESS IN CHINA AGAINST US OR OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT ARE BASED UPON U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
All of our current operations are conducted in China. All of our current directors and officers are nationals or residents of China. All of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. As a result there is no established body of law that has precedential value as is the case in most western legal systems. Differences in interpretations and rulings can occur with little or no opportunity for redress or appeal.
As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our officers and directors. Even if service of process was successful, considerable uncertainty exists as to whether Chinese courts would enforce U. S. laws or judgments obtained in the United States. Federal and state securities laws in the U. S. confer substantial rights to investors and shareholders that have no equivalent in China. Therefore a claim against us or our officers and/or directors or even a final judgment in the U. S. based on U. S. may not be heard or enforced by the Chinese courts.
In 1979, the PRC began to adopt a complex and comprehensive system legal system and has approved many laws regulating economic and business practices in the PRC including foreign investment. Currently many of the approvals required for our business can be obtained at a local or provincial level. We believe that it is generally easier and faster to obtain provincial approval than central government approval. Changes to existing laws that repeal or alter the local regulatory authority and replacements by national laws could negatively affect our business and the value of our securities.
China's regulations and policies include limits on foreign investments including investment in mining businesses and are still evolving. Definitive regulations and may affect percentage ownership allowed to foreign investment or even controls on the return on equity. Further, the various proposals are conflicting and we may not be aware of possible violations.
NEW CHINESE LAWS MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES IN CHINA.
New regulations on the acquisition of businesses commonly referred to as "SAFE" regulations (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) were jointly adopted on August 8, 2006 by six Chinese regulatory agencies with jurisdictional authority. Known as the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors the new Rule requires creation of offshore Special Purpose Ventures, or SPVs, for overseas listing purposes. Acquisitions of domestic Chinese companies require approval prior to listing securities on foreign exchanges.
We obtained the approvals that we believe are required in making the acquisitions that formed the present company. Nonetheless, our growth has largely been by acquisition and we intend to continue to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses. Since the "SAFE" rules are very recent there are many ambiguities and uncertainties as to interpretation and requirements. These uncertainties and any changes or revisions to the regulations could limit or eliminate our ability to make new acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future.
WE MAY BE AFFECTED BY RECENT CHANGES TO CHINA'S FOREIGN INVESTMENT POLICY, WHICH WILL CHANGE THE INCOME TAX RATE FOR FOREIGN ENTERPRISES.
On January 1, 2008 a new Enterprise Income Tax Law took effect. The new law revises income tax policy and sets a unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25 percent. It also abolishes favorable treatment for foreign invested enterprises. When the new law takes effect, foreign invested enterprises will no longer receive favorable tax treatment. Any earnings we may obtain may be adversely affected by the new law.
CHINA CONTROLS THE CURRENCY CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE RATE OF ITS CURRENCY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The Chinese government imposes control over the conversion of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi, into foreign currencies, although recent pronouncements indicate that this policy may be relaxed. Under the current system, the People's Bank of China publishes a daily exchange rate based on the prior day's activity which controls the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions are permitted a narrow range above or below the exchange rate based on then current market conditions. Since 1977 the State Council has prohibited restrictions on certain international payments or transfers for current account items. The regulations also permit conversion for distributions of dividends to foreign investors. Investment in securities, direct investment, and loans, and security investment, are still subject to certain restrictions.
For more than a decade the exchange rate for the Renminbi ("RMB") was pegged against the United States dollar leaving the exchange rates relatively stable at roughly 8 RMB for 1 US Dollar. The Chinese government announced in 2005 that it would begin pegging the Renminbi exchange rate against a basket of currencies, instead of relying solely on the U.S. dollar. This has recently caused the dollar to depreciate as against the RMB. As of December 31, 2008, the rate was 6.8346 RMB for 1 US Dollar. Since all of our expected operations are in China, significant fluctuations in the exchange rate may materially and adversely affect our revenues, cash flow and overall financial condition.
CHINESE LAW REQUIRES APPROVAL BY CHINESE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND COULD LIMIT OR PROHIBIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS FROM ANY PROCEEDS OBTAINED FROM LIQUIDATION OF OUR ASSETS.
All of our assets are located inside the Peoples Republic of China. Chinese law governs the distributions that can be made in the event of liquidation of assets of foreign invested enterprises. While dividend distribution is allowed it is subject to governmental approval. Liquidation proceeds would also be subject to foreign exchange control. We are unable to predict the outcome in the event of liquidation insofar as it affects dividend payment to non- Chinese nationals.
CHINA HAS BEEN THE LOCALE FOR THE OUTBREAK OF VARIOUS DISEASES AND A PANDEMIC CAUSED BY DISEASES SUCH AS SARS, THE AVIAN FLU, OR SIMILAR DISEASES COULD HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR WORKERS AND EVEN THE CHINESE ECONOMY IN GENERAL, WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT BUSINESS.
The World Health Organization reported in 2004 that large scale outbreaks of avian flu throughout most of Asia, including China, had nearly caused a pandemic that would have resulted in high mortality rates and which could cause wholesale civil and societal disruption. There have also been several potential outbreaks of similar pathogens in China with the potential to cause large scale disruptions, such as SARS, pneumonia and influenza. Any future outbreak which infiltrates the areas of our operations would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct normal business operations.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
THERE IS CURRENTLY A LARGE MARKET OVERHANG IN OUR COMMON STOCK AND FUTURE CONVERSIONS AND SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE AND DIMINISH THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
The Company has issued 500,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in the exchange of securities that acquired our current assets and operations. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock carries the right to 1,218 votes per share. If each share is converted, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock at a rate sufficient to yield an aggregate of approximately 609Million common shares. Future conversion and sales of shares of our common stock or securities that are convertible into our common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If any of our principal stockholders sells a large number of shares or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our common stock could significantly decline. Moreover, the perception in the public market that our principal stockholders might sell shares of common stock could further depress the market for our common stock.
THERE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES OUTSTANDING THAT WILL RECEIVE PREFERENCES OVER THE COMMON STOCK IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS OR LIQUIDATED ASSETS AND VOTING RIGHTS, WHICH WILL LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE COMMON STOCKHOLDERS TO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE VOICE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY.
The Company has 500,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock outstanding at the year end. Each of the preferred shares is entitled to receive preferential treatment in connection with the payment of dividends, distributions upon liquidation and voting rights. Each preferred share carries the right to vote the equivalent of 1,218 votes of common shares. Each preferred share will be automatically converted into 1,218 common shares upon approval and an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares. This effectively eliminates the ability of the common stock holders to participate in the management of the Company, such as the election of directors and corporate changes or conversions.
THE MARKET FOR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN LIMITED AND SPORADIC, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A MARKET WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
Shares of our common stock are not listed on any exchange but are sporadically traded in over the counter transactions or in inter-dealer quotations from time to time. Currently there are several market makers who have posted bid and ask prices for our shares but there is no guarantee that they or any other brokers will continue any activities. Our stock has been very thinly traded and there are many days or weeks that the shares have not traded at all. There is no assurance that any market will exist at the time that a shareholder wishes to sell the shares and there is no assurance that any market will continue.
OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE COULD BE VOLATILE AND MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
The market price of shares of our common stock has fluctuated and is likely to continue to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in commodity prices, conversion of our preferred shares, results from our operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of shares of many smaller public companies securities are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently unrelated to the actual operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines including very sudden and sharp declines in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be available to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.
BECAUSE OUR SHARES ARE DEEMED HIGH RISK "PENNY STOCKS," YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEM IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET.
The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also constitutes a "penny stock." As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. These regulations generally require broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors to deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Disclosure is also required to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. These regulations also impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market is limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock is severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
WE DO NOT FORESEE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not paid cash dividends on our stock and we do not plan to pay cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to expand our operations and explore additional areas and opportunities in our industry. Therefore an investment in our common stock is not appropriate for investors who require regular and periodic returns on their investments.

THE DONGFANG PARCEL
Xunyang County in the Shaanxi Province of southwestern China has an extensive history in mining. Called the "Golden State" in ancient times it is located in the Qinba Mountain Area at a geologic junction of "Shan, Zha, Zhen, Xun", which are the four primary metallogenic prospective areas in the Shaanxi Province. This area, having been likened to China's "Ural" is the resources reserve area of several metals in China including gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and zinc. Over 30 different minerals have been proven up in Xunyang County, including reserves of basic raw materials such as lead & zinc, gold, mercury & antimony, and limestone.
Our subsidiary Dongfang Mining, obtained the mining rights to a 67.82 sq.km parcel in the Jiao Shan Zhai Mining Area, located in Xunyang County-Guo Jia Ling, Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province (the "Donfang Parcel.") Approval of the exploration rights was granted by appropriate authorities in certificate number is 6100000720386.
The Dongfang Parcel is located in the Guo Jia Ling- Jiao Shan Zhai Mining Area is located in eastern Xunyang County, under the jurisdiction of Shuhe Town, Guankou Town and Gouyuan Village, Xunyang County, and Shaanxi Province according to its administrative division. The North end of this mining area starts at Cai Jia Gou, at the south end at Cai Miao Ya. It begins in the east from Shi Jia Gou Nao and ends at Si Ren Gou in the west, with a whole area of 67.82 sq.km. Longitude, 109*26*30*--109*38*30*, and North Latitude, 32*55*45*-- 33*01*00*.
Mineral Deposits
Dongfang Mining obtained the exploration rights to the Dongfang Parcel on September 19, 2003. In the same year, they finished 1/10,000 geological rough survey, geochemical profile survey and trench exploration on lead & zinc and gold mines in Dong Er Gou, Xunyang County within the area of 1.15 sq.km. by consigning the first geological team of Geology and Mineral Bureau of Shaanxi. Lead & zinc mineralization clues had been found and efforts began to evaluate reconnaissance and prospecting.
During 2005-2006, the company dug a prospecting hole with a spatial depth of more than 60 meters and a test trench with 240m3 in the region of Jiao Shan Zhai, and discovered five gold mine veins, each with a length of over 30 meters. Analyzed on the mineral information obtained, there are still relatively large gold deposits in this mining area. At the end of August 2007, three lead and zinc ore bodies and a gold ore body was preliminarily proven up, as indicated in the exploration information of the geological team.
The mining area covered by the Dongfang Parcel can be divided into three areas. Gold deposits are known in the area and management has estimated gold reserves at about 3-5 tons. Total reserves of lead and zinc ore in this region is 3-5 million tons, whose average grade is 8-15% and some even can reach as high as 45% based on geologic studies.

OVERVIEW
We are an exploration stage mining company and we have had no revenues and do not expect revenues until we begin the process of extracting minerals which will not start until 2009, if at all. We have sustained considerable losses from our exploration and other activities to date.
Effective August 20, 2001, the Company sold its interests in video gaming business for cash and notes receivable. During 2003, the Company sold the notes receivable for cash. As a result, the Company had no on-going operations or revenues. Thereafter the Company was a "shell" as defined by Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Its only activity was to explore for acquisition opportunities and the financing required buying and supporting an operating business.
On February 4, 2008, (the "Closing Date") we acquired HONGKONG WAH BON ENTERPRISE LIMITED ("Wah Bon") and its three subsidiaries: SHAANXI TAI PING YANG XIN NENG YUAN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED ("Tai Ping Yang "); SHAANXI CHANG JIANG SI YOU NENG YUAN FA ZHANG GU FENG YOU XIANG GONG SI ("Chang Jiang") and DONGFANG MINING COMPANY LIMITED ("Dongfang Mining".) Wah Bon owns 100% of Tai Ping Yang. Tai Ping Yang owns 97.2% of Chang Jiang; and Chang Jiang owns 60% of Dongfang Mining. The minority interests represent the minority shareholders' 2.8% and 41.68% share of the results of Chang Jiang and Dongfang Mining respectively.
Our subsidiary, Chang Jiang, had acquired a 60% interest in Dongfang Mining in two separate transactions. On February 5, 2007 we acquired 40% of the net assets of Dongfang Mining. The acquisition of 40% of Dongfang Mining was accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the 40% of operating results of Dongfang Mining have been included in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive losses after the effective date of the acquisition of February 5, 2007.
The preliminary allocation of 40% of the net assets of Dongfang Mining acquired is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 227,233 Other receivables and prepaid expenses 46,309 ---------------- Total current assets 273,542
Fixed assets, net 7,432 Total assets 280,974 Less: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (3,223) Due to a stockholder (273,444) ---------------- Net assets acquired 4,307 Minority interests (1,723) Additional paid in capital (861) Less: Consideration for acquisition (3,117,267) ---------------- Goodwill $ (3,115,544) ================
Analysis of the net outflow of cash and cash equivalents in respect of the business combination is as follows:
Total cash consideration $ 3,117,267 Less: cash consideration payable (1,872,131) ------------------ Cash consideration paid 1,245,136 Less: cash and cash equivalents acquired (227,233) ------------------ Net cash outflow $ 1,017,903 ==================
The acquisition of 40% of Dongfang Mining was accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the 40% of operating results of Dongfang Mining have been included in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss after the effective date of the acquisition of February 5, 2007.
The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, assuming the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2007 and 2006.
2008		2007		2006 ----------- ----------- -----------

In accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and other intangible assets", goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment. The Company are going to perform an assessment on goodwill arising from the acquisition of Dongfang Mining as the price of non-ferrous metals are going down and the whole industry are stagnant. We can not concluded that there was no impairment to the carrying value of the goodwill in this reporting period.
On March 22, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a principal stockholder of the Company to exchange the Company's 92.93% interest in Huanghe for 20% equity interest in Dongfang Mining owned by the stockholder. The acquisition of 20% of Dongfang Mining from the related party was accounted for as a purchase under common control. As a result of these transactions we recorded goodwill of $3,115,544 in the balance sheet of the Company.
The operations of Huanghe have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and are summarized as follows:
Operating expenses $ (282,728)
Loss from operations $ (291,885)
Net loss $ (291,885)
The detailed information on the loss on disposal of Huanghe is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,406,430 Other current assets 31,687 Fixed assets, net 349,024 Land use rights 8,987,826 ----------- Total assets 10,774,967 Less: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (205,800) Due to related parties (1,618,037) Due to a stockholder (4,726) Minority interests (918,343) ----------- Book value of net assets disposed 8,028,061 20% of book value of net assets of Dongfang Mining exchanged (827) ----------- Loss on disposal of Huanghe $ 8,027,234 =========== Net cash outflow on disposal of subsidiary
Proceed from disposal $ - Cash and cash equivalent disposed (1,406,430) ----------- Net cash outflow $(1,406,430) ===========
We have land use rights for a 67.82 sq.km parcel in the Jiao Shan Zhai Mining Area, located in Xunyang County in the Shaanxi Province of China. Our land use rights are amortized over fifty years of the term of the leases. We have performed tests on the site but we have not begun mining activity. We originally planned to construct a theme park business on the parcel but have delayed those plans while we direct our resources on the mining opportunities. Therefore most of our assets are recorded in the theme park segment of financial statements although this is no longer the primary focus of the Company.
The following is a summary of land use rights at December 31, 2008:
Cost $ 19,146,841 Less: accumulated amortization (1,638,232) ------------------- Land use rights, net $ 17,508,609 ===================
The land use rights are amortized over fifty years of the term of leases. The amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $490,108 and $367,480 respectively.
From 2003 until the present Dongfang Mining has held licenses for the exploration of minerals and precious metals in the Shaanxi Province of the People's Republic of China. Dongfang Mining was granted an exploration right to the lead, zinc and gold mines located at Gan Gou and Guan Zi Gou, Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province, PRC, on December 31, 2006. The Company engaged Geology and Mineral Bureau of Shaanxi to conduct a preliminary survey which reported preliminary positive findings for gold, lead and zinc deposits in the mines.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $13,352,228 at December 31, 2008 which includes a net loss of $1,557,424 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $5,958,661 and the Company used cash of $916,535 in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Theme Park Segment
We planned to become a shareholder of a theme park business before the first half year of 2009, but the theme park business shall not occupy much of our resources for it shall not be controlled by us. The Huanghe, a related Company, is one of our target enterprise. After about 4 years construction on the theme park located in the wetland of Huanghe River, the Company was expected to generate revenue in 2009.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our efforts over the next twelve months will be directed towards completing the licensure process to begin the extraction operations from the mines and to acquire the equipment and personnel necessary to commence mining operations. We have applied for, but not yet obtained, an additional license that will permit the excavation and extraction of the parcel. We expect to obtain that license before the end of 2009 and expect to commence extraction operations shortly thereafter.
To date we have financed our activities from loans received from related parties. Until we begin to generate revenues we expect to continue to rely on loans from our directors and related parties. Our directors have indicated that they will continue to make loans for the next twelve (12) months or until the Company begins to generate revenues, whichever first occurs. Other than the oral assurances given by the directors, we have no other sources of capital and there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to meet its obligations or obtain sufficient capital to complete its plan of operations for the next twelve (12) months.
Our plan for 2009 is to finish reconnaissance and evaluation and begin prospecting the known ore bodies and controlling the trench exploration, in addition, enter in to new energy industry by acquisition ,such as electric power. We intend to stress deep drilling and tunnel exploration validation. We hope this will allow us to enlarge the ore body scale and prove up the anomalous regions. We expect to accomplish this primarily with drilling and tunnel exploration.
Specific implementation methods are as follows:
- Enhance the validation of geophysical prospecting abnormities, especially of the I and II class abnormities, make a conclusion on them as soon as possible to provide basis for next work;
- Carry out geological investigation in adjacent regions, with attention to the lead & zinc ore bodies;
- Investigate other metallogenic areas, mainly through surface work, which may be combined with limited tunnel exploration and drilling;
- Finish the rough survey of lead and zinc over the 6.8 square meter area;
- Complete the particular survey of gold and obtain the exploitation licence Before year end.
Enter into electric power industry by controlling the Changjiang electric Power & new emerge Co., ltd.
We believe we can find adequate skilled mining personnel in the region. We are also exploring possible joint venture or similar arrangements with one of the existing, competitive mining companies that are already operating in the mining area near our parcel. If so, we would reduce our need for the initial expenditures and the delay in commencing mining operations may be shortened.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007
The Company is an exploration stage company and has not yet generated any revenue and consequently has also not generated any gross profit.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $1,231,537,from $746,461 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Overall expenses before taxes and minority interests, for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $1,616,198 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, of $988,673. The difference of $625,186 or approximately 67% over the prior period, the overall increase in expenses is due to the following increases in:
. A reduction of general and administrative expenses from $349,269 for the year ended December 21, 2007 to $260,590 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
A $539,224 increase of Legal and professional for 2008 comparing with that of 2007.
. other expense, which increased from $242,212 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $384,661 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
. an increase in imputed interest expense from $243,337 to $353,951 which is reflected in the increase in other expenses. Total imputed interest recorded as additional paid-in capital amounted to $353,951 and $243,337 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
. Depreciation increased slightly from $29,712 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $35,779 for the year ended December 31, 2008
. Amortization of land use rights increased from $367,480 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $395,944 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
NET LOSS. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $1,557,424 from $8,959,472 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The overall decrease in net loss of $7,402,048, almost a five fold decrease, over the prior year period, is primarily due to $8,027,234 loss on disposal of subsidiary occurred in 2007.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS. Our comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $492,516 from $7,788,802 As the $ 1,064,909 foreign currency Translation gains of 2008 just slightly decreased comparing with $1,170,802 of 2007 The reason for great decrease of comprehensive loss came to the same reason for the net loss.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Stockholders' equity increased by $ 716,072 to $14,849,562 as of December 31, 2008, or approximately 5.1% from $14,133,490 as of December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $489,258 repurchasing of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2007.In addition, the $353,951 imputed interest was adjusted to the paid-in capital, which also help to increase the stockholders' equity.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL. Overall, we had an increase in net loss of $1,557,424 for the year ended December 31, 2008 Net cash used in operating activities of $388,012, net used in investing activities of $1,379,396 and net cash provided by financing activities of $ 872,762. At December 31, 2008, our cash balance was $23,961 as compared to $ 479,241 for the prior year, a decline of $ 455,280 or approximately 95%.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in operating activities of $388,012 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to a net loss from the operations. The adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash, including depreciation expense of $35,779, amortization of land use rights of $395,944, imputed interest expense of $353,951, adjustment for minority interests of $(58,773),an decrease in current assets and prepayments of $ 303,023 and other payables of $49,489.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in investing activities of $1,512,396 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to:
- Net cash outflow from the acquisition of a subsidiary of 	 $292,629 - $1,213,622 from related parties;and - Purchase of furniture and equipment of $6,145.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash of $ 1,445,908 provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to 538,343 and 935,268 increase of due to shareholder and due to related parties respectively
FINANCING. We have not generated any revenues as of December 31, 2008 and so are considered an exploration stage company. We ended 2008 with $23,961 of cash and equivalents on our balance sheet. Given our current cash usage rate, a risk exists that our available cash on hand and the cash we anticipate generating from operating activities will be insufficient to sustain our operations. Our auditors have expressed substantial concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically been able to issue shares, preferred stock or stock options to pay for certain operating expenses. We believe that our pro-forma working capital on hand as of the date of this report, along with our ability to raise capital and meet certain operating expense obligations through the issuance of stock or stock equivalents, will provide us with the capital we need through year end 2009. In addition, our directors have indicated a willingness to make loans to the Company to cover expenses, although there is no assurance that they will do so. However, we believe that our ability to operate beyond the end of 2009 will require us to raise additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. We are, therefore, actively seeking additional debt or equity financing until we become cash flow positive.
INTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY. There is no assurance that funds from our operations, if and when they commence, will meet the requirements of our daily operations in the future. In the event that funds from our operations are insufficient to meet our operating requirements, we will need to seek other sources of financing to maintain liquidity.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY. We intend to pursue all potential financing options in 2009 as we look to secure additional funds to both stabilize and grow our business operations and begin extraction. Our management will review any financing options at their disposal and will judge each potential source of funds on its individual merits. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure additional funds from debt or equity financing, as and when we need to or if we can, that the terms of such financing will be favorable to us or our existing shareholders.
INFLATION. Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations, and does not expect that it will in fiscal year 2009.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 4, 2008, we closed an acquisition of Hongkong Wah Bon Enterprise Limited ("Wah Bon"). On September 2, 2007, Wah Bon had acquired 100% ownership of Tai Ping Yang at a consideration of $128,205 in cash. We issued 500,000 shares of series C convertible preferred stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Wah Bon. This transaction was treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes and we have therefore presented all financial data in consolidated form, except where otherwise noted.
Financial Condition
We had total assets of $ 23,379,269 and $21,797,756 as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Most of this reduction was the result of an adjustment for discontinued operations and disposal of a subsidiary.
The largest part of our assets is the Land Use Rights we hold. Net land use rights were $17,508,609 as of December 31, 2008, increased from $16,743,482 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The reason for this increase was that the appreciation of RMB contributed more to the balance than the depreciation of the Land Use Right did.
In order to carry out the Corporate Strategy of developing the Petroleuem and New Energy, the Company invested RMB 2,000,000($293,328) to establish a new company named Shaanxi Changjiang mining and New Energy Co., Ltd in September, 2008, with Shaanxi Changfa Industry Stock Co.,Ltd (the "Changfa"), The registered capital totals RMB 10,000,000(USD 293,328), in which the Company owns 20%.,and Changfa the other 80% share. The Company has significant influence on the new Company as it assigned finance and Other directors in the new Company,and has recorded the investment under the equity method. The new Company had no income for the year ended December 30,2008 and as the expense was not material, no adjustment has been made .
Our current liabilities were $8,400,906 as of December 31, 2008. $3,446,160 and $ 434,137 are Notes payable and owed to related companies respectivley, along with $2,396,560 due to stockholders. Our other payables and accrued expenses were $2,124,050.
Tax Liabilities
Neither North American Gaming nor Wah Bon had income for income tax purposes in 2008 and 2007. Wah Bon is a Hong Kong corporation and therefore is subject to Hong Kong profits tax. All of the subsidiaries of Wah Bon are incorporated in the PRC and therefore are subject to income tax in China. The current applicable tax rate has been 25% and no tax benefit is expected from the tax credits in the future. There is no provision for income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
The Company has deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 which consist of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using statutory effective tax rates. Due to its history of losses, realization of its net deferred tax assets is unlikely. Consequently, the Company did not record the deferred tax asset at the year end of 2007 & 2008 in the balance sheet. According to the China Tax Regulations, the operating loss carryforwards can be deducted in the taxable profit within 5 years.
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory income tax rates to total income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies
Impairment: We review all assets to be held and used in the Company's business for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the assets.
RECENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, "Fair Value measurements". This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
In December 2007, FASB issued Statement 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations". This statement provides guidance on improving the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement will become effective where is the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
In December 2007, FASB issued Statement 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement - an amendment of ARB No. 51", which establishes accounting and reporting standards to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information in its consolidated financial statements that include an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries. This effective will effective for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of: North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (an exploration stage company) and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process 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. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (an exploration stage company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, and our report dated April __, 2009 expressed a qualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of: North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (an exploration stage company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated March 22, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit of the financial statements provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were unable to obtain sufficient evidential matter in connection with the balance of the Company's goodwill as of December 31, 2008, and we were unable to satisfy ourselves of the balance by performing other audit procedures. Any impairment of this balance would effect the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments discussed in the previous paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation (an exploration stage company) and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,467,426, an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $13,262,228 and a working capital deficiency of $7,713,248 and used cash in operations of $388,011. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 19. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April __, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Chang Jiang Si You Neng Yuan Fa Zhang Gu Feng You Xiang Gong Si ("Chang Jiang") (formerly Weinan Industrial and Commercial Company Limited) was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on March 19, 1999. Chang Jiang became a joint stock company in January 2006 with its business activities in mining and new energy development in Shaanxi PRC. In July, 2008, Chang Jiang change its name to Shaanxi Chang Jiang Mining & New Energy Stock Company Ltd.
In August 2005, Chang Jiang contributed a piece of land valued at $7,928,532 in lieu of cash to the registered capital of Shaanxi Huanghe Wetland Park Company Limited ("Huanghe"), representing 92.93% of the equity of Huanghe. Huanghe was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on August 9, 2005 as Shaanxi Chang Jiang Mining and New Energy Co., Limited and is engaged in the development of a theme park in Xian, PRC.
On February 5, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire 40% of the equity interest in Dongfang Mining Company Limited ("Dongfang Mining") at a consideration of $3,117,267 payable in cash. Dongfang Mining is engaged in the exploration of lead, zinc and gold for mining in Xian, PRC.
On March 22, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with the majority stockholder of Chang Jiang to exchange its 92.93% interest in Huanghe for 20% equity interest in Dongfang Mining, which is owned by this Related party.
On August 15, 2007, 97.2% of the stockholders of Chang Jiang entered into a definitive agreement with Tai Ping Yang and the stockholders of Tai Ping Yang in which they disposed of their ownership in Chang Jiang to Tai Ping Yang for 98% of the ownership in Tai Ping Yang and cash of $1,328, 940, payable on or before December 31, 2007.
On September 2, 2007, Wah Bon acquired 100% ownership of Tai Ping Yang for a cash consideration of $128,205.
The acquisitions of Tai Ping Yang and Chang Jiang were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Wah Bon, Tai Ping Yang and Chang Jiang for the year ended December 31, 2007 were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred retroactively.
On May 30, 2007, amended to July 5, 2007, North American entered into a Material Definitive Agreement, pursuant to which the shareholders of Chang Jiang exchanged all their shares in Chang Jiang for 500,000 shares of series C convertible preferred stock ("series C shares") in North American, which carries the right of 1,218 votes per share and is convertible to 609,000,000 (pre a one for ten reverse split) common shares. North American will affect a one for ten reverse stock splits after the closing of this transaction and upon obtaining regulatory approval and approval of the North American shareholders. The holders will not convert its series C convertible preferred stock until after the completion of the reverse stock split. In connection with the exchange, Chang Jiang will also deliver $370,000 to North American and certain non-affiliates of North American will transfer to North American or its designee a total of 3,800,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, of North American which had been held for longer than 2 years by such non-affiliates, in exchange for the issuance by North American to each of such non-affiliates of 2,250,000 shares of common stock of North American. Issued and outstanding shares of series C preferred stock shall automatically be converted into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock based upon the conversion rate upon the filing by the Company of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares, changing the Company's name to China Changjiang Mining and New Energy Company Limited and implementing a one for ten reverse stock split. The transaction was closed on February 4, 2008 and Wah Bon became a wholly owned subsidiary of North American.
The members have limited liability for the obligations or debts of the entity.
The merger of North American and Wah Bon was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Wah Bon ("the accounting acquirer") and re-organization by North American ("the accounting acquiree"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the following:
(1) The balance sheets consisting of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost.
(2) The statements of operations including the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the merger.
North American, Wah Bon, Tai Ping Yang, Chang Jiang and Dongfang Mining are hereafter referred to as (the "Company").
The Company is considered to be an exploration stage company. This requires that information is presented to show the cumulative results of the Company since its inception as an exploration stage company. Even though members of the Company have been in existence prior to 2007, the Company considers itself to have become an exploration stage company when it acquired Dongfang Mining on March 22, 2007. The accumulated columns shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the consolidated statements cash flows have been provided to show cumulative balances from March 22, 2007 through December 31, 2008.
(B)Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in Conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(C)Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidate the financial statements of North American and its 100% owned subsidiary Wah Bon, 100% owned subsidiary Tai Ping Yang, 97.2% owned subsidiary Chang Jiang and 60% owned subsidiary Dongfang Mining. The minority interests represent the minority shareholders' 2.8% and 40% shares of the results of Chang Jiang and Dongfang Mining, respectively.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(D) Business combinations between entities under common control
On August 15, 2007, 97.2% of the stockholders of Chang Jiang entered into a definitive agreement with Tai Ping Yang and the stockholders of Tai Ping Yang in which they disposed their ownership in Chang Jiang to Tai Ping Yang for 98% of ownership in Tai Ping Yang and a cash consideration of $1,328,940, payable on or before December 31, 2007. On September 2, 2007, Wah Bon acquired 100% ownership of Tai Ping Yang at a consideration of $128,205, payable entirely in cash. All the entities were either under common ownership or shared common management.
These transactions were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Tai Ping Yang for the period from inception to December 31, 2008 and the operations of Chang Jiang for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented, with each account stated at its historical cost. In this regard, the prior year's consolidated financial statements and financial information have been adjusted retroactively to combine the previously separate entities to furnish comparative financial information.
(E)Cash and cash equivalents
For purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months.
(F)Furniture and equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value, over the assets' estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 10 Years Motor vehicles 10 Years Furniture and office equipment 5 Years
Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over the term of the relevant land-use rights.
(G)Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 142 and 144"). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset's carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. The Company believes that no impairment of furniture and equipment or land use rights existed at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
(H)Fair value of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of other current assets and prepaid expenses, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company's major operation is in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollars ("US$") and the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). At December 31, 2008, the new RMB rate against the US$ was approximately 6.8346. Historically, the PRC government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the US$, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the PRC government continues to benchmark the RMB against the US$.
(I)Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
In addition, we account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", ("FIN 48") which was issued in July 2006. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as de-recognition, interest, penalties and disclosures required. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
(J)Foreign currency translation
North American, Wah Bon, Tai Ping Yang, Chang Jiang and Dongfang Mining maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$ and RMB respectively.
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement operations. The consolidated financial statements of Wah Bon (whose functional currency is RMB), Tai Ping Yang, Chang Jiang and Dongfang mining (whose functional currency is RMB) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity.
The translation gain recorded for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,064,912 and $1,170,670 respectively.
(K)Comprehensive loss
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the consolidated financial statements expressed in RMB to US$ is reported as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and stockholders' equity. The foreign currency translation gain for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,064,912 and $1,170,670 respectively.
(L)Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
(M)Segments
As of December 31, 2008, the Company operates in only one reportable segment, mining for mineral ores, which is still at an exploration stage. As of December 31, 2007, the Company operated in two reportable segments, theme parks and mining for mineral ores.
Currently, and in the near future, the Company is and will be engaged in the mining. But the Company also tried to develop other business, for example, the new energy business. The Company invested in the Changjiang Electric in September,2008.
All of the assets and business is located in China, and all of the operating losses have come from the foreign operations*outside United States*.
(N) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days after the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already fair valued. The Company will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard. The Company does not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations". This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141(R) by establishing a definition for the "acquirer," providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and non-controlling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on the current consolidated financial statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.
In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, "Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On February 5, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire 40% of the equity interest in Dongfang Mining at a consideration of $3,117,267 payable in cash. On March 22, 2007, Chang Jiang entered into an agreement with a related party of the Company to exchange Chang Jiang's 92.93% interest in Huanghe for 20% equity interest in Dongfang Mining, which is owned by the related party.
Dongfang Mining is principally engaged in the exploration, development, mining and processing of lead, zinc and gold in Xian, PRC. Dongfang Mining was granted rights to explore for lead, zinc and gold at mines located at Gan Gou and Guan Zi Gou, Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province, PRC, from December 31, 2006 to October 31, 2008, subject to further renewal upon expiration. The Company engaged the Geology and Mineral Bureau of Shaanxi to conduct a preliminary survey from which it was reported that there are gold, lead and zinc deposits in the mines.
The following is a detail of the acquisition of Dongfang Mining by Chang Jiang made during the year ended December 31, 2007:
Cash and cash equivalents 	 $ 27,233 Other receivables and prepaid expenses 	46,309 ----------- Total current assets 273,542
Fixed assets, net 	 7,432 ----------- Total assets 280,974 Less: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 		(3,223) Due to a stockholder (273,444) ----------- Net assets acquired 	 4,307 Minority interests 	(1,723) Additional paid in capital 	 (861) Less: Consideration for acquisition 	 (3,117,267) ----------- Goodwill $(3,115,544) 								 ===========
Analysis of the net outflow of cash and cash equivalents with respect to the business combination is as follows:
Total cash consideration $ 3,117,267 Less: cash consideration payable (1,872,131) ----------- Cash consideration paid 1,245,136 Less: cash and cash equivalents acquired (227,233) ----------- Net cash outflow $ 1,017,903 ===========
The acquisition of 40% of Dongfang Mining was accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the 40% of operating results of Dongfang Mining have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss after the effective date of the acquisition of February 5, 2007.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and other intangible assets", goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment. The Company is going to perform an assessment on goodwill arising from the acquisition of Dongfang Mining as the price of non-ferrous metals are going down and the whole industry is stagnant. We cannot concluded that there was no impairment to the carrying value of the goodwill in this reporting period.
There was no change for the goodwill at the year end of 2008, comparing with that at the year end of 2007, whose balance was RMB 22,787,401. The $218,579 increase is due to the exchange gain when translating the financial report from RMB to USD.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 22, 2007, the Company disposed a subsidiary Huanghe in exchange of 20% interest in Dongfang Mining. The operations of Huanghe were reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and were summarized as follows:
Operating expenses $(282,728)
Loss from operations $(291,885)

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $13,262,228 at December 31, 2008, which included a net loss of $1,467,426 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $7,713,248 and the Company used cash in operations of $388,011. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is also actively pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates and strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders' investments. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.
