In exchange, Lingshi Coal & Chemical received RMB 45.5 million (approximately $5.9 million) in cash from Shanxi Coal and all the assets of a coal washing plant of Shanxi Coal located in Liulin County of the same province, which has an annual coal washing capacity of 400,000 ton and a book value of RMB 11.5 million (approximately $1.5 million). The disclosure in the current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 2007 is incorporated herein in its entirety.
