Item 5.03          Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective on August 15, 2007, the Company (as China West Coal Energy Inc.) merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino Clean Energy Inc., pursuant to Articles of Merger that the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger was in the form of a parent/subsidiary merger, with the Company as the surviving corporation. In accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval of the merger was not required. Upon completion of the merger, the Company’s name has been changed to “Sino Clean Energy Inc.” and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change. We changed our name to better reflect the direction and business of the Company.
 
In connection with this name change to Sino Clean Energy Inc., as of the open of business on August 20, 2007, the Company has the following new CUSIP number and trading symbol:

New CUSIP Number:         82936G 101

New Trading Symbol:       SCLX


Item 8.01          Other events

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split (“Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) by way of share dividend, effective on August 15, 2007. To effect the Stock Split, the Company authorized the issuance of two shares of common stock for each one outstanding share of common stock held by the shareholders of record (“Split Shares”) on August 15, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (the “Record Date”). The Split Shares are payable without any action taken by the shareholders of record on the Record Date, and thus the shareholders should retain their existing share certificates and not return their share certificates to the Company’s transfer agent. The Company’s transfer agent will issue new share certificates evidencing the Split Shares and will mail them to the Company’s shareholders on or about August 20, 2007.

Immediately prior to the Stock Split, the Company had 28,227,250 shares of common stock (CUSIP 16947E 101) issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Stock Split, the Company will have approximately 84,681,750 shares of common stock (CUSIP 82936G 101) issued and outstanding. The Company's common stock will be quoted for trading on a post-split basis on the National Association of Securities Dealers Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the new trading symbol “SCLX” as of the open of the market on August 21, 2007.
