Operational Updates and PetroChem Letter of Intent

On April 28, 2015, the executive management of the Company informed the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") that commencing in January 2015 the Company was forced to substantially curtail and eventually to cease its oil blending/reselling business operations. The cessation of the oil blending/reselling operations resulted from adverse market conditions in the petroleum products markets in China that caused the Company to operate at negative margins, thus rendering this line of business unprofitable in the short term. It is currently unclear when and whether market conditions will stabilize and when and whether the Company will reinitiate its oil blending/reselling business operations. The Company has commenced efforts to diversify into new lines of business to offset the loss of oil blending/reselling revenue. There is no assurance that such efforts will be successful; or that the Company will remain economically viable in the future. The shift in the profitability of the Company's oil blending/reselling business operations was exacerbated by a significant change in the commercial credit environment in China during the same period. Generally, commercial loan arrangements in China have a one year term, which, in turn, requires frequent renegotiations of credit with lenders. Following a substantial tightening of credit in China, the Company's experienced difficulty in renegotiating its commercial loan facilities, which matured in March of 2015, leaving the Company without the adequate liquidity to operate its business. The Company also has been seeking alternative sources of financing. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts to obtain debt facilities adequate to fund the Company's operations; or that, if and to the extent any new debt facilities become available to the Company that they will be on the terms favorable to the Company. It is the Company's expectation that its first fiscal quarter of 2015 revenues will be materially adversely affected by the foregoing business and operational developments.

On April 29, 2015, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Three Pillars PetroChem ("TPP"). TPP, on behalf of the Company, will identify and negotiate business development opportunities investments in energy assets globally. TPP will identify suppliers for energy products and the related trade funding solutions to facilitate the procurement of such energy products that feed into the Company's existing sales and distribution channels. Mr. Wang Hao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "We are looking forward to working with TPP. We understand that TPP brings industry expertise and relationships to complement the Company's current plan to expand by means of sourcing products upstream in the value chain. The Company believes that partnering with TPP will advance the Company's plan to fully leverage its sales network."
