Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L & L Energy, Inc. and its affiliates. All intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of L&L have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The fully consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) the Company, (ii) its 100% ownership of KMC, DaXing and Guizhou LiWei subsidiaries including coal wholesale, (iii) 80% of operations of LLC (“2 Mines”), (iv) 51% of WeiShe Mine, (v) 98% of TaiFung, and (ⅵ) 95% of LaShu and 95% of LuoZhou Mines. The Company fully consolidates 100% of the assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries and shows the non-controlling interests owned by their respective minority owners as Non-Controlling Interests. The results of operations of our subsidiaries less amounts attributable to non-controlling interest owners are net income attributable to the Company. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to current period consolidated financial statements and footnote to conform to the current period consolidated financial statement and footnote presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate are considered as Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. Section 815-20-25-6, hedges involving the benchmark interest rate are addressed in paragraph 815-20-25-12(f) for fair value hedges) and paragraph 815-20-25-15(j) for cash flow hedges. This amendment is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company adopted this guidance effective July 17, 2013 and the Company does not expect the implementation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisitions

For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Company acquired two businesses in the mining industry. The Company has been actively acquiring smaller coal companies who lack the capital and/or management expertise to maximize growth and safety. The Company will continue to seek opportunities to purchase other mining operations as well as coal washing and coal coking operations. The Company expects to realize operating synergies from each of the transactions, or the acquired operation has created, or will create, opportunities for the acquired entity to sell its services to our customers. Both of these factors resulted in a purchase price that contributed to the recognition of goodwill. The acquisitions are summarized as follows:

Business Acquired	Date of Closing		Net Assets Acquired (in millions)	Form of Consideration
LaShu Coal Mine	November 18, 2012		15	Cash/Property
LuoZhou Coal Mine	November 18, 2012	$	22	Cash/Property

Each of the acquired businesses has been included in our results of operations since the date of closing. Accordingly, the operating results for the periods presented are not entirely comparable due to these acquisitions and related costs. In each acquisition, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

Purchase Price Allocations

The following tables summarize the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective dates of acquisition for the above referenced transactions (in millions).

Category		LaShu	LuoZhou
Current assets	$	3.0	2.0
Property and equipment		6.2	8.4
Mining right		6.9	11.5
Goodwill		0.4	1.4
Total assets acquired		16.5	23.3
Less liabilities assumed		(1.8)	(1.0)
Net assets acquired	$	14.7	22.3
Non-controlling interest	$	0.6	1.0

A brief description of each acquisition is as follows:

LuoZhou Coal Mine (“LuoZhou”) and LaShu Coal Mine (“LaShu”)

On November 18, 2012, the Company completed the acquisitions of the LuoZhou and LaShuCoal Mine when it entered into the Equity Ownership Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Guizhou Union Energy, Inc., a Chinese corporation (“Union”) and Guizhou Union Capital Investment Holding Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Union Capital”), to purchase 95% of the equity ownership interest of both LuoZhou and LaShuCoal Mine.

Under the Agreement, the purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in both LuoZhou and LaShuCoal Mine was approximately RMB $233.3 million (equivalent to US$37.1 million). The purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in LuoZhou was about RMB $140.5million (equivalent to US$22.3 million)and the purchase price for 95% of the ownership interest in LaShu Coal Mine was about RMB $92.9 million (equivalent to US$14.8 million), and both of these two mines (LuoZhou and LaShu) will be paid together by a cash outlay of approximately US $1.7 million and the transfer of the Company's interests in Zonelin Coking Plant (98%) and the DaPing Coal Mine (60%)which were valued at about $12.4 million and $23.0 million respectively. LuoZhou Coal Mine has $27 million tons of reserves. LaShu Coal Mine has $7.2 million tons of reserve.

Divestiture

Sale of HSC

In late 2009 to early 2010, the Company determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to expand on other prospective acquisitions that would provide a better return to its stockholders.

NOTE 4. PREPAID AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Cash advances are made to coal suppliers to guarantee a certain delivery of coal to the Company at a specified time and price. Since the demand for coal is high, the Company enters into agreements with these suppliers, with cash deposits, to ensure a constant supply of coal to our washing facilities. By signing purchase agreements with suppliers which provide for the payment of deposits over a certain period of time, we ensure that our suppliers will deliver their coal in a timely manner. Certain agreements impose penalties on the suppliers for non-compliance.

On June 10, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the prepayment of 25,000,000 RMB worth of coal with Guizhou Qian Hong Mining Resource Consulting Services, Ltd. (“Qian Hong”). On August 14, 2013, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd (“Ironridge”) agreed to complete the payment for us in exchange for free trading shares. The details of our transaction with Ironridge can be found below in NOTE 25, “Ironridge Transaction.” On August 20, 2013, pursuant to the Ironridge Transaction, Ironridge completed its payment to Qian Hong. As of October 31, 2013, the company received approximately 13% of the total amount under the prepayment agreement from Qian Hong Mining.

Additionally, the Company provides advances to employees for them to handle incidents in our mining operations as well as washing expansion projects as these facilities are far away from our operating center in Kunming and Guiyang. There were no advances to officers or directors.

During this quarter, the company paid a total of $2.7 million which has a current portion of $0.3 million for renting land to mine coal. This total payment will be amortized in 10 years period.

NOTE 17. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On December 10, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Convertible Note”) and warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to Phoenician Limited (“Phoenician”), a Hong Kong company for $3,000,000. The number of warrants shares issued was 289,816 which equal to 15% of the number of common shares issuable under the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note carries an interest rate of 12% and matures in 24 months from the Closing Date.

The Convertible Note can be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price $1.55 which is 80% of the 10 days volume weighted average price on Closing date.

The Investor Warrants has exercise price of $1.94 which represents the 10 days volume weighted average price of the Company stock at the Closing date and expire three years from the date of issuance.

Both the Convertible Note and Investor Warrants contain a price protection feature. If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Convertible Note and Investor Warrants are outstanding, raises capital at a price per share that is less than the current conversion price or strike price, then the current conversion price or strike price will be adjusted downward. The Company determined the embedded conversion feature for the Convertible Note and the Investor Warrants to be a derivative liability in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and estimated the fair value of the derivative using Lattice Model as of December 10, 2012. Such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in non-operating income (expense) in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

On December 10, 2012, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $2,643,191 for the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Note which was valued at $2,355,390 and the Investor Warrants which was valued at $287,801 and offset to an unamortized debt discount totaled $2,643,191. The debt discount will be amortized using effective interest method over 24 months. As of April 30, 2013, the Company amortized debt discount $218,404 and $385,452 as interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2014, respectively.

Pursuant to the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to establish an account with an agent designated by Phoenician and fund the account with payments from the note receivable from Bowie Resources LLC as collateral. (See Note 10) In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement to cover 100% of the common stock underlying the Investor Warrants to ensure Phoenician will have freely trading shares six months after shares issuance under the 144 Rule. The Company agreed to pay the one percent in common stock of the face amount of the Investor Warrants for every thirty day period, or portion thereof not declared effective within one hundred eighty days of closing, subject to a maximum of six percent if the Company shares cannot be freely traded after six months of shares issuance under the 144 Rule.

As of October 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of Convertible Note was $3,000,000 and none of the Investor Warrant shares have been exercised and therefore no common shares have been issued under the Rule. The Company paid monthly interest on the Convertible Note.

In connection with the Convertible Note, the Company initially recorded $180,000 loan origination fee as deferred loan cost and amortized over 24 months using the effective interest method. In addition, the Company prepaid six months interest totaled $180,000 and recorded as prepaid interest. The Company amortized loan cost of $22,516 and $44,857 as interest expense for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2013, respectively.

During the six months ended October 31, 2013, the fair value of the derivative instruments liability decreased by $3,633,186. This was recorded as unrealized gain on fair value of derivative instruments as non-cash expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Activity for derivative instruments liability during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 was as follows:

		April 30, 2013		Activity During quarter		Increase(Decrease) in Fair Value of Derivative Liability		October 31, 2013

Legal Matters

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings in material nature and we are not aware of any material pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us, other than the legal proceeding described below:

On August 26, 2011, a federal securities law class action complaint was filed against the Company, certain officers and directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson) and a former officer (i.e., Jung Mei (Rosemary) Wang) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased the common stock of the Company during the period August 13, 2009 through August 2, 2011, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby (the “Washington Securities Class Action”), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by filing materially false and misleading public statements August 2009 to July 2011. On December 15, 2011, the court appointed Gregg Irvin as lead plaintiff, and plaintiff filed an amended complaint and a second amended complaint on February 8 and March 2, 2012, respectively, naming four other current and former directors as defendants (i.e., Shirley Kiang, Robert Lee, Dennis Bracy and Robert Okun).

On November 4, 2011, a complaint was filed by Larew P. Stouffer, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its then existing officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Ian G. Robinson, Robert W. Lee, Shirley Kiang, Dennis Bracy, Syd S. Peng) and certain former officers and/or directors (i.e., Edward L. Dowd, Andrew M. Leitch, Robert Okun, Joseph J. Borich, Jung Mei Wang and David Lin) in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada for Carson City (the “Nevada Derivative Suit”)alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders, wasted corporate assets, were unjustly enriched , and committed other wrongful acts.

On November 15, 2011, a complaint was filed by Russell L. Bush, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against its then existing directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Ian G. Robinson, Robert W. Lee, Shirley Kiang, Dennis Bracy, Syd S. Peng) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle (“Washington Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched.

The Company has notified our insurance carrier of the Washington Securities Class Action and the Washington and Nevada Derivative Suits. The Company has also retained outside legal counsel.

On April 23, 2012, the Company and Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson filed a motion to dismiss the Washington Securities Class Action. Proceedings in the Washington Derivative Suits were stayed pending the court’s ruling on the motion to dismiss.

On December 3, 2012, the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action lawsuit without prejudice, and gave plaintiff thirty days in which to seek the court’s permission to file another amended complaint.

On January 2, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint. Pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, the court granted such leave, and on February 4, 2013, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint in the Washington Securities Class Action on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased the common stock of the Company during the period August 13, 2009 through August 2, 2011, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby, against the Company, certain officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee and Ian G. Robinson) and a former officer (i.e., Jung Mei (Rosemary) Wang), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by filing materially false and misleading reports and financial statements with the SEC from August 2009 to July 2011.

Proceedings in the Washington and Nevada Derivative Suits continued to be stayed pending the court’s ruling on the second motion to dismiss.

On December 3, 2013, the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle denied the defendants’ second motion to dismiss. The court has not yet issued a case scheduling order in the Washington Securities Class Action and there is no trial date.

The Company believes that the Washington and Nevada Securities Class Action and the Washington Derivative Suits are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

On September 23, 2013, a federal securities law class action complaint was filed against the Company, and certain officers and directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Ian G. Robinson and Clayton Fong) in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York on behalf of a proposed class of all persons who purchased common stock of the Company during the period September 11, 2012 through September 18, 2013, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby (the “New York Securities Class Action”), alleging that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by filing materially false and misleading public statements from September 2012 to September 2013. On November 22, 2013, the plaintiff and several other proposed plaintiffs filed motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and counsel. The court set a status conference for December 20, 2013 to consider the motions.

On October 18, 2013, a complaint was filed by Joseph D, Bessent, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its then existing officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Syd S. Peng, Mohan Datwani, Jingcai Yang, James Schaeffer, and Joseph Borich) in the Superior Court for the State of Washington in King County, Washington (the “Bessent Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders and committed other wrongful acts.

On December 9, 2013, a complaint was filed by Jay Finkelstein, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its current and former officers and/or directors (i.e. Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Shirley Kiang, Ian Robinson, Dennis Bracy, Edward L. Dowd, Jr., Robert W. Lee, Robert A. Okun, Andrew M. Leitch, Edmund Moy, Dr. Syd S. Peng, Clayton Fong, Jungcai Yang, Mohan Datwani, Joseph Borich, and James Schaeffer) in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle (the “Finkelstein Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders and committed other wrongful acts.

The Company has notified our insurance carriers of the New York Securities Class Action, the Bessent Derivative Suit, and the Finkelstein Derivative Suit. The Company has retained outside legal counsel.

The Company believes that the New York Securities Class Action, the Bessent Derivative Suit, and the Finkelstein Derivative Suit are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of the aforementioned legal proceedings. As such, as of October 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with potential losses from legal proceedings.

Foreign Currency

The majority of the Company sales, purchases and expense transactions are denominated in RMB (Chinese currency) and most of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Environmental Remediation

The PRC adopted extensive environmental laws and regulations that affect the operations of the coal mining industry. The outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present, and could be material. Under existing legislation, however, Company management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Chinese Government

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversions and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Concentrations

For the six months ended October 31, 2013, we had three major customers who purchased 38% of the Company’s total sales, and represented $10,360,075 of accounts receivable balance in total as of October 31, 2013. In addition, we had three major suppliers who provided 39% of our total purchases, and the relevant account payable had been paid off as of October 31, 2013.

NOTE 24. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

On September 9, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting of the shareholders held on the same date. On February 17, 2011, the Company filed S-8 Registration Statement. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Board of Directors or one or more of its members to grant options to eligible individuals to purchase shares of common stock our Company to eligible individuals. Eligible individuals may be employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and consultants who provide valuable service to us or our Parent or Subsidiary. Options to purchase Common Stock may be incentive stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights or non-statutory stock options as determined by the Board of Directors or its delegate. 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance.

On September 16, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting of the shareholders held on the same date. As the end of October, 2013, the Company has not filed S-8 Registration Statement. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Board of Directors or one or more of its members to grant options to eligible individuals to purchase shares of common stock in our Company to eligible individuals. Eligible individuals may be employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and consultants who provide valuable service to us or our Parent or Subsidiary. Options to purchase Common Stock may be incentive stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights or non-statutory stock options as determined by the Board of Directors or its delegate. 5,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance.

Each option agreement specifies the term as to when the option is to become exercisable. Standard options vest at a rate of at least 20% of the underlying shares per year over five years and have a maximum term of 10 years. However, in no event shall an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder be granted at an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

During the six months ended of October 31, 2013, the Company has issued 248,000 stock options as board compensation and no stock option was exercised.

The following table displays the weighted average assumptions that have been applied to estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant for the first quarter ended October 31, 2013:

	October 31, 2013
Dividend yield	-
Risk-free interest rate	3.33%
Expected volatility	100.25%
Expected lives	5 years

(1) Expected Life: The expected life was determined based on the option’s contractual term and employees’ expected early exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.

(2) Risk Free Rate: The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that corresponds to the expected term of the option calculated on the granted date.

(3) Expected Volatility: Expected volatility is computed base on the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return of days when the stock price changed over the historical period of the expected life of the options.

(4) Dividend Yield: The expected dividend yield is zero. The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in there foreseeable future.

Stock compensation expense was recognized based on awards expected to vest. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires forfeiture to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The following summarizes pricing and term information for options outstanding as of October 31, 2013:

Type of Options	Range of Exercise Prices	Total Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years)	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Director	$7.65	40,000	2.34	$7.65
Director	$2.00	240,000	3.84	$2.00
Director	$2.50	248,000	4.88	$2.50
		528,000	4.21	$2.66

As of October 31, 2013, 311,000 of 528,000 stock options outstanding for compensation were exercisable.

The following table is a summary of stock option activity under the Stock Incentive Plan as of and for the six months ended October 31, 2013:

NOTE 25. IRONRIDGE SETTLEMENT

On August 14, 2013, L & L Energy, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company”) entered into a stipulation for settlement of claims (the “Stipulation”) with Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”). Pursuant to an order of approval by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles – Central District (the “Order”), the stipulation settled $4,999,153 of payments, which consisted of the following: $4,091,653 (25,000,000 RMB) to Guizhou Qian Hong Mining Resource Consulting Services, Ltd. (“Qian Hong”) as a prepayment for coal to be received at a future date, $107,500 to satisfy the payment of a short term loan to a non-related party, and $800,000 to satisfy the payment of debt to Mr. Dickson Lee, the CEO of L & L Energy, Inc., which Ironridge had purchased in exchange for payment in cash. In exchange, we agreed to issue to Ironridge, shares of our common stock with an aggregate value equal to 105% of the amount owned, plus reasonable attorneys fees, divided by 88% of the following: the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately preceding the date of entry of the Order, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of any five consecutive trading days during the Calculation Period (as defined hereinafter), less $0.05 per share (the “Final Amount”).

On August 16, 2013 (the “Issuance Date”) we issued 2,588,888 shares of the Company’s common stock to Ironridge (the “Initial Issuance”). Additionally, from the date of the Stipulation until that number of consecutive trading days following the Issuance Date required for the aggregate trading volume of our common stock to exceed $80 million, including after hour trades (the “Calculation Period”), if any individual VWAP of our common stock declines below the closing price on the trading date preceding the Order, for each $0.10 or portion thereof, we will, within two trading days, issue to Ironridge additional shares of common stock equal to 5% of the aggregate number of shares required to be issued to Ironridge prior to such issuance (each, an “Additional Issuance”). If, within two days, Ironridge does not receive the Additional Issuance in its account in electronic form and fully cleared for trading, the trading volume during such time shall not count toward aggregate trading volume and the Calculation Period shall be extended by one trading day. At the end of the Calculation Period, the number of shares issued will be adjusted based on the Final Amount.

Under the Stipulation, Ironridge is prohibited from holding any short position in our common stock, and may not to engage in or affect, directly or indirectly, any short sale until at least 180 days after the end of the calculation period described above. The Stipulation also provides that in no event shall the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Ironridge, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned or controlled by Ironridge and its affiliates exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after such issuance. The total amount of stock issued under the Stipulation is not to exceed 19.99% of our total outstanding shares before the Initial Issuance without shareholder approval.

The result of the Order and Stipulation is that a total of $4,999,153 of payments to various parties were satisfied by Ironridge in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock as provided above. In addition, pursuant to the satisfaction of the prepayment agreement with the Company, Qian Hong made its first shipment of coal to the Company in October 2013. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has received approximately 13% of the total amount under the prepayment agreement.

The Calculation Period ended on November 1, 2013. The Final Amount of common stock issued under this transaction was 4,853,863 shares, the total of which was valued at $11,116,200 by using the then current trading price on the various issuance dates (NOTE 19).

In accordance with the Order and Stipulation, we issued equity and experienced a book loss; however, this event does not affect our cash flow. This event has a material effect on the presentation of our financial statements. Therefore, we disclosed and recorded a $6,101,488 loss on debt settlement in the period ended October 31, 2013.

Overview

We produce, process, and sell coal in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”). As of October 31, 2013 our vertically integrated coal operations include five coal mines two coal washing plants, and coal wholesale and distribution networks in the southwest region of China. Hong Xing Coal Washing Factory, one of our two coal washing plants, is currently idled pending the renovation of its coal washing equipment. Currently, substantially all of our coal mining operations are located in the Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. Our operations are located in inland and rural areas of China, which are being developed at a faster rate than the coastal areas that have historically received most of the PRC’s government focus. We sell the coal we produce, or acquire through wholesalers; both though direct sales to end users in China and through other wholesalers.

We were initially founded in 1995 by an American citizen and current Chairman and CEO Dickson Lee and originally focused on consulting services. In 2001 we became a public reporting company and in 2004 acquired a majority interest in a coal related air compressor equipment company (“LEK”) located in China, we disposed of LEK in 2009 in order to focus on growing our coal businesses. In 2006 we commenced our coal operations which now constitute our principal operating business. We have funded our business to date primarily through investments from our founder and Chairman, from private placements, from cash flows from operations and from certain debt financings and arrangements.

We conduct our operations through both wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority interests in other entities. We derive our revenues from selling coal to customers, State Owned Enterprises (SOE) and private companies in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi Provinces. Most of our thermal or steam coal is sold to SOEs utilities companies that generate power, mainly electricity. Most of our metallurgical coal and coking coal is sold to SOEs that make steel, though some steelmaker customers also purchase thermal coal to generate power for the steel factories.

We are a United States company incorporated in Nevada and headquartered in Seattle, WA. We have our China headquarter in Beijing and have China operations centers in Kunming City in Yunnan Province and in Guiyang in Guizhou Province. The majority of our management team and board of directors are American citizens and many are bilingual. As a public reporting company since 2001, we commenced trading on the NASDAQ Global Market in February 2010.

Macroeconomic Factors

There were several relevant macro-economic factors directly impacting our operating environment in China during fiscal year 2013, including GDP growth and inflation. In 2012, China’s GDP growth was 7.8%, down from 9.2% and 10.4% in 2011 and 2010 respectively. This was largely attributable to a turbulent world economic climate and China’s efforts to tame inflation.

In the middle of November 2012, China completed its 18^th National Congress for its once a decade leadership transition. The new leaders have conveyed plans to boost the economic growth in an orderly manner for the coming years.

At the start of the Company’s prior fiscal year in May 2012, inflation in China was 3.0%, down from a recent high of 6.5% in July 2011. After the PRC tightened its fiscal policies, which included letting interest rates rise and capping prices of certain domestically-produced commodities like coal, inflation fell to 2.7% at the end of the Company’s first quarter ended July 31, 2013.Since then the rate has increased up to 3.2 in October 2013.

Coal prices in China declined in the summer of 2012 primarily due to lower priced coal throughout the US and Europe. Prices have stabilized and risen modestly in China this winter. Coal prices in the United States declined because there is lower demand for coal due to increased competition from ample and low price natural gas, one of the warmest winters in recorded history and certain government policies. Combined with a sluggish market for coal in Europe, coal exporters took advantage of the arbitrage opportunities between Chinese domestic coal prices and international coal prices. This created a temporary oversupply of coal summer 2012. Prices over the fall and winter rose modestly. During the summer of 2013, prices have adjusted downward as typically happens for the season.

Coal will continue to be a key component of the PRC’s energy policy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, coal makes up 70% of China’s total primary energy consumption. China is both the largest consumer and producer of coal in the world. In 2009, China accounted for over 46% of the world’s coal consumption. It is estimated that demand for coal in China will continue to increase for several decades, thus producing a favorable business environment for coal producers and wholesalers. Although China has substantial natural coal resources, the coal mining industry in China is fragmented and inefficient, and includes many small companies who lack the economies of scale and resources needed to maximize production capacity. The past few years, mining companies in China have been unable to produce enough coal to meet China’s growing coal demands. As a result the PRC has allowed China to become a net importer of coal. A national policy of consolidation to increase production capacity, improve efficiency and safety in coal mines in China was announced years ago and continues today. Beginning with the 11^th 5 year plan in 2006, the policy of government-mandated consolidation has continued with the current 12^th 5 year plan from 2011-2015, which expands and accelerates the consolidation to new provinces including Guizhou.

In summary, China began fiscal year ending April 30, 2013 with excessive supply of cheaper coal imported resulting in pricing pressure for the entire coal industry. This pricing pressure was evidence in Q1 and Q2 of our fiscal year 2013 as our average selling price per ton decreased 7.7% and 5.0% respectively from previous quarter but the price started to stabilize in Q3 2013 with average selling price per ton increased 6.4% from previous quarter.

The Twelfth Five-Year Plan Impact on the Chinese Coal Industry

The National People’s Congress ratified the 12^th Five-Year Plan in March 2011 for the period 2011-2015. Three sectors received major boost: health care, technology, and energy. With its emphasis on “inclusive growth,” the Chinese government is encouraging foreign business participation in these Strategic Emerging Industries. In the energy sector, the PRC announced guidelines for a government-mandated consolidation of the fragmented and inefficient coal industry in Guizhou Province, similar to earlier consolidation efforts in northern China.

On April 15, 2011, the General Office of the Government of Guizhou Province issued Document (2011) Number 47 notifying the Guizhou Province Energy Department of guidelines related to accelerating the pace of consolidation through 2013. There are three main components to the guidelines: production, safety, and efficiency.

· First, in addition to increasing individual mine production, the provincial government is mandating that individual mines be consolidated into coal holding companies responsible for a minimum production between 800,000 and 2,000,000 tons per year, thus reducing the number of coal holding companies from over 1,600 to 200 or less.

· Second, safety standards will continue to rise as well as increased safety enforcement activity. For example, a mine accident in a county will often result in a temporary shutdown of all mines operating in that county so that safety inspectors can review the safety of each mine.

· Third, to improve efficiency, the level of mechanization will increase significantly, both in shaft drilling and coal production.

Overall Strategy and Plan of Operations

In the past, the Company has been a vertically integrated coal operator participating in the consolidation of the fragmented coal industry in the Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces of southwest China. In January 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to instruct the management to a) focus on targeting operations in North of China for acquisition where larger scale of mines are available and to upgrade our mining portfolio. b) As the Company gains in presence in China, management was also advised to focus on thermal coal and move away from coking coal, due to it being a more price sensitive/volatile as it is strategic material used in the steel making process. Moving forward, we plan to expand our coal business in three ways: first, through expansion of existing wholesale and distribution operations in Guizhou, gradually building up our logistic network. Second, to acquire a large over 1 million tons of coal mine(s) in North of China. Third, by continuing to expand production at our current coal mines we own and operate. We are diligently pursuing on the TDR (Taiwan Deposit Receipt) in Taiwan to raise substantial capital and to explore other options for raising capital, to ensure the company may grow and achieve the above objectives. On October 28, 2013, the company signed a strategic marketing agreement with Guizhou Zheshang Coal Group (“Zheshang”). Zheshang is a privately held company located in Guizhou with 10 mines that produce approximately 2 million tons per year. Zheshang is currently expanding their targeted annual production to 5 million tons. Under the agreement, L&L will utilize its extensive customer network to market coal produced by Zheshang. L&L will be responsible for customer relationships, transportation and logistics, while Zheshang will be responsible for mining production, and mine safety. The partners are targeting sales of approximately 1.2 million tons of coal per year.

Organic Growth

All five of our mines are producing at full capacity. We had a strong quarter of 211,000 tons of coal production. We expect to double that number once all five mines have been fully expanded.

WeiShe mine was acquired in February of 2012 and took 8 months to ramp up to its approved capacity of 150,000 tons per year. We have already begun expansion to 400,000 tons of annual capacity. Luozhou and Lashu were acquired in November 2012 and have ramped up much faster. They are already running near approved capacities of 200,000 and 150,000 tons respectively. We expect to expand all three of these Guizhou mines to over 1.2 million tons in the next few years, well ahead of the 2015 deadline for consolidation in the province. In Yunnan, we have 2 mines DaPuAn and SuTsong which we expect to expand to 300,000 tons.

We acquired producing mines that lack capital and/or management expertise to expand to meet the minimum government-mandated production requirement, and then we provide the resources to expand production capacity and improve safety. Most coal mines in Southwest China, including our mines, use the conventional/traditional mining method. Since the acquisition of our mines, the Company has invested substantially in mine infrastructure, which allows us to increase the productivity of our mines. The Company had invested in tunnel construction, shafts, transportation system and roads, pumps, ventilation system, walls, storage facilities, dorms and other types of infrastructure. The investment in tunnel construction and shaft allow the Company to dig coal from new areas in a safer environment to increase the production capacity. The investment in conveyor belts allows the Company to get coal from ground with shorter turnaround time and bigger capacity. We also drill additional shafts in some of our mines to increase safety, operational efficiency, and improve the working environment. Two of our mines continue to use timber to reinforce mine shafts. We have improved safety by using steel and hydraulic braces to reinforce the support the roof of the mine. Our newest mines use roof bolts which are safer and will allow greater mechanization in the future. We have also invested in monitoring equipment for hazardous gases like methane, better electrical equipment and communication systems, GPS locators for each underground miner, and blowers and better ventilation systems to ensure safe air quality. The Company also seeks to acquire larger mines as mines designed to scale up to large production have become available on the market recently because the consolidation policy requires that all mines come under a holding company that controls one to two million tons of production per year.

In addition to simple infrastructure improvement, we improve our production and safety through introducing basic management practices by expanding from single shift to multiple-shift operating teams, and including production incentives and bonuses in our team’s compensation package. Our mine operations have instituted regular safety training for both mine management and workers, regular sharing of safety information, and individual shift safety briefings and debriefings at the start and end of each shift. Because slogans are effective in impacting Chinese behavior, safety banners are posted for easy viewing. We comply with and try to exceed all the safety standards and cooperate fully with local, provincial, and national government safety regulators and safety supervision teams. There have been no fatal accidents in any of our mines.

This has resulted in the successful integration and safe expansion of the five mines we have acquired and expansion of production capacity to meet the current government-mandated minimum annual production requirement of 300,000 tons a year.

The Company continues to expand the capacity and improve the safety of our mines. According to Chinese government regulation, a coal mine can produce up to the production capacity set forth in the mining production permit. However, depending on the market demand for coal, especially during the high demand season in the winter, the local government does allow coal mines to produce more than the production capacity that year or use the unused quote from previous years without giving specific written approval. It has become a common practice that the actual production can vary from the authorized production limit. The situation may change from month to month or year to year. A new permit must be obtained if the total mine production exceed the total approved tonnage for the life of the mine.

Acquisitive Growth

There is no acquisitive growth in the second quarter of FY 2014 which ended on October 31,2013.

We have built an acquisition team to facilitate our growth in the future, which consists of business, operational, financial, and renowned coal experts. Two of the members are Dr. Syd Peng and Mr. Jingcai Yang who are both independent directors of the Company. Dr. Peng is a distinguished professor of mining engineering at the West Virginia University (WVU), specializing in underground mining technologies. After earning his PhD in Mining Engineering from Stanford University in 1970, Dr. Peng spent his entire career in mining including work for the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the faculty of WVU where he served as Chairman of the Department of Mining Engineering. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is the recipient of numerous professional awards. Mr. Yang is a well known leader in the coal industry of China. He has over 30 years of experience, 16 of those spent with Shenhua, the largest coal company in the world. Mr. Yang was formerly the Chief Engineer of Shenhua before being promoted to Chairman & CEO of Shandong Coal Corporation, the largest and most profitable Shenhua subsidiary, where he held full P&L responsibility.

Originally our standard criteria included existing mines in production with good infrastructure and sufficient reserves but lacking the capital and management to expand to or beyond the current minimum of 300,000 tons per year. Mr. JingCai Yang suggested that, due to business strategy considerations and improving safety production, the company should look for larger coal mine(s) in North China. Because the consolidation policy requires that all mines must also join a holding company that controls coal production between 800,000 to 2,000,000 tons. We are now targeting larger mines with production near 300,000 tons or more, and have considerable proven coal reserves, better geology, and strong management teams already in place. When these well-designed mines are executed effectively, they require less capital expenditure to expand capacity. Strong management teams are integral to better safety and allow for scaling up operations more quickly. Mines with these characteristics are now on the market more frequently than in the past because of the government consolidation policy.

We acquired 3 mines from Union Energy that met those criteria, Weishe, Luozhou and Lashu mines. They are currently operating at 150,000, 150,000 and 200,000 tons per year respectively and will be expanding to over 1.2 million collectively. We expect other opportunities will arise in Guizhou as the deadline nears. We will also look at opportunities to buy mines in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia which have already undergone consolidation and are running at the capacity of one million tons per year.

Other

The Company will continue to recruit talented professionals to strengthen our team at the board, officer, and management level. Our Board is composed mostly of independent directors who are predominately U.S. citizens. We successfully recruited a world-renowned expert Dr. Syd Peng in coal mining who had chaired the Department of Mine Engineering at West Virginia University and a former senior executive with the largest coal company in the world ShenHua Coal Mine Group Mr. Jingcai Yang. James Schaeffer, the Executive Director who has over three decades of mining experience in participated projects throughout Asia in the energy and resource sectors. He is member of the International Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration. Joseph Borich has extensive knowledge in developing business relation in China and Taiwan throughout his career. Officers include the founder of the Company, a Chief Financial Officer who was a partner with Ernst & Young and an Executive Vice President who was a former senior White House staffer. We have recruited key managers to augment our legal, accounting, and operations departments in both the United States and China, of whom many were trained in the United States and have advanced degrees in business.

General Discussion and Analysis of Second Quarter Fiscal Year of 2014 Results

The coal sold by our mines was 211,000 tons, an increase of 18.5% from 178,000 tons same period last year. This was primarily due to the organic expansion of our existing operations and the acquisitions of new mines. Our net earnings attributable to L&L shareholders were $1.4 million (see below), down 81.5% from second quarter $7.7 million of fiscal year 2013. Earning per diluted share was $0.03 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, down 85.7% compare to $0.21 per diluted share of the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our net earnings and EPS dropped dramatically as a result of the Company settling a debt liability with Ironridge for a onetime non-operation loss of $6,101,488.

Our overall revenue, gross profit and Net income Attributable to L & L for the quarter ending October 31, 2013 compared to the same period in October 31, 2012 was as follows:

		October 31, 2013	October 31, 2012
*	Revenue	$42.9 m	$45.5 m
*	Gross Profit	$17.2 m	$11.9 m
*	Net Income attributable to L&L	$1.4 m	$7.7 m

The net income of $2.3 m at October 31, 2013 included a one time non-operation loss of $6,101,488.

Revenue

The Revenue under this section is the total revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries including intercompany sales which are eliminated during the consolidation process. The following table presents revenues by operating segment:

For Continued Operations (Excluding DaPing Coal Mine and Zonelin Coking Plant)

On November 18, 2012, the Company finalized the acquisition of the LuoZhou Coal Mine and LaShu Coal Mine. This transaction involved the transfer of the Company's interests in its ZoneLin Coking Plant (98%) and the DaPing Mine (60%) to satisfy majority of the payment for acquisition of Luozhou and Lashu. According to the FASB ASC 360 Rule, since the intention to swap DaPing and Zonelin for LuoZhou and LaShu were known during the second quarter ending October 31, 2012, the presentation of DaPing and ZoneLin for balance sheet was classified as “asset/liabilities of discontinued operation”, and “discontinued operation” in Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statements were reported on the second quarter for the period ending October 31, 2012.

For continued operations, in this quarter, our net revenue decreased to $42.9 million during the three months ended October 31, 2013 from $45.5 million during the three months ended October 31, 2012, representing approximately a 5.6% decrease year over year. The decrease was primarily due to our coal washing revenue segment. One of our coal washing facilities is temporarily idling for management evaluation and equipment improvements.

Our net revenue increased 11% from $94.1 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013 compared to $84.9 million during the six months ended October 31, 2012. This was due to the net increases in mining and wholesale segments after taking into account decreases in the washing segment.

The tables below provide the breakdown the contributions from continuing operations and discontinued operations for three and six month periods on a year over year basis.

Coal Mining

During the quarter all of our mines were operational and production was on target. For the three months ended October 31, 2013, our coal mining net revenues increased 76% to $24.3 million from $13.8 million compared to the same period in 2012. For the six months ended October 31, coal mining net revenues increased 96% to $49.3 million from $25.2 million compared to the same period in 2012. The sales increase year over year was due to the Company’s recovery from the previous year’s government mandated temporary idling and slowdowns, the acquisitions of the LaShu and LuoZhou Mine in November 2012, and organic growth of the WeiShe Mine. Coal production for the quarter increased 14% year over year to 211,000 tons during the three months ended October 31, 2013 to 185,000 tons during the three months ended October 31, 2012.

Coal Wholesale

Wholesale revenues increased by 28% during the three months ended October 31, 2013 to $12.8 million compared to $10.1 million in same period in 2012. Wholesale revenues increased 15% during the six months ended October 31, 2013 to $25.7 million compared to $22.3 million in same period in 2012.The increase was represented in the overall increase in availability of coal as well as the Company’s ability to expand local market share and increasing long-term contracts with local clients and state-owned enterprises. Wholesale revenues increased due to the ramp up of wholesale activity in line with our increased sales contracts to large end users. We expect significant increase in wholesale with the continued execution of the one million ton per year Datang contract.

Coal Washing

Coal washing revenue decreased by 73% to $5.8million during the three months ended October 31, 2013 compared with $21.7 million during the same period last year. Coal washing revenue decreased by 49% to $19 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013 compared with $37.3 million during the same period last year. Decrease in coal washing revenue mainly due to the idling of the Hong Xing facility, pending management evaluation and equipment improvements.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit percentage in this quarter increased to $17.2 million from $11.9 million in the same quarter last year representing a 46% increase. Our gross profit percentage increased to $36.2 million from $21.7 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013 compared to the same period of last year representing a 67 % increase. This was mainly attributable to the increase in production and sales volume in our mining segment, revenue increase in our coal wholesaling and decrease in washing segment revenue. Coal mining has historically been the Company’s most profitable business segment. The corresponding change in product/segment mix and the reduction of fixed costs have accordingly increased the gross profit of the current period.

Selling general & administrative

Total sales, general, and administrative expense account for 18.54% of revenue, during the three months ended October 31, 2013 compared to the 9.14% the same period in 2012. Total sales, general, and administrative expense account for 13.12% of revenue, during the six months ended October 31, 2013 compared to the 9.18% the same period in 2012. This result is mostly due to increase in sales costs, professional fees, wages and benefits.

Provision for income taxes

		Three Months Ended October 31,				Six Months Ended October 31,
		2013		2012		2013		2012
Net income before income taxes	$	5,871,843	$	8,396,903	$	20,991,291	$	15,096,810

Our net income before tax decreased 31% from $8.4 million three months ended October 31, 2012 to $5.8 million three months ended October 31, 2013, primarily because of the debt settlement with Ironridge resulting in a onetime non-operation loss of $6,101,488.

Our net income before tax increased 39% from $15 million six months ended October 31, 2012 to $20.9 million six months ended October 31, 2013 due to increase in the coal production and sales volume.

Our effective tax rate slightly increased from 10% during the three months ended October 31, 2012 to 29% during the three months ended October 31, 2013.

Our effective tax rate increased from 9.92% during the six months ended October 31, 2012 to 16.14% during the six months ended October 31, 2013.

Net income attributable to Common shareholders	$	12,166,302	10,271,648	1,894,654	18%

The 45% decrease of our net income from operations before non-controlling interests was due to the impact of the one time non-operation loss of $6,101,488 debt settlement with Ironridge during the three months ending October 31, 2013. The 29% increase of our net income from operations before non-controlling interests was due to acquisition of two new mines and production expansion of our WeiShe mine, reducing of unit production cost and streamlining our selling, general & administrative expenses during the six months ended October 31, 2013 compared to same prior period in 2012. During the three months ended October31, 2013, our coal mining segment coal wholesale segment and coal washing segment significantly improved our revenue performance this quarter compared to the same period last year, increasing 76%, 28% and decreasing of 73% respectively. The revenue increase in coal mining segment primarily contributed to our WeiShe Mine has ramped up production to its approved production capacity, and both LuoZhou and LaShu have ramped up their production ahead of schedule.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Net Income was $17.6 million for the six months ended October 31, 2013 as compared with $19.3 million for the same period ended October 31, 2012. The net cash flow provided by operating activities was $47 million for six months ended October 31, 2013 as compared with $11.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase of the net cash provided by operating activities was mainly caused by the decrease of account receivable and other receivables by $13.9 million, as well as account payable increased approximately $5.8 million. The cash provided by prepaid and other current assets was approximately $4.1 million. In addition, net loss from discontinued operation was $5.7 million. There was no discontinued operation this quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities was $48.8 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013, compared to $8.9 million used in investing activities during the same period in 2012. The increase was mainly due to net effect of purchase of Construction-in-progress of $35 million and the prepaid of $2.7 million for land rental.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013, compared to $3.8 million used in financing activity during the same period in 2012. In this quarter, there was no money need to be paid to previous owner of the company’s mine during this quarter.

We will need to raise additional capital to expand our operations, both to fund additional investments in capital equipment and technology to increase production and improve safety at our existing facilities and to acquire additional profit generating operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management's difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in “Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2013 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2013. Those critical accounting policies remained unchanged at October 31, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Despite there being at times a coal shortage due to the continued growth of the Chinese economy, which has in turn led to upward movement of coal prices, market risks do exist if the market demand situation in China changes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) were effective as of January 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company, with the assistance of our independent internal controls consultant, has for some time now proceeded to make specific changes to address the deficiencies of our internal controls. The company has continued to improve its internal controls that have materially affected our controls including those internal controls over financial reporting as follows:

1. Improved the design and documentation related to multiple levels of review over financial statements included in our SEC forms 10-Q and 10-K;

2. Expanded the design and assessment test work over the monitoring function of entity level controls;

3. Enhanced documentation retention policies over test work related to our continuous management assessments of internal control effectiveness;

4. Expanded documentation practices and policies related to various key controls to provide support and audit trails for both internal management assessment as well as external auditor testing; and

5. Improved the design and documentation related to multiple levels of review over financial statements included in our quarterly SEC form 10-Q.

Since April 30, 2011, the Company has also completed the necessary improvements to our internal controls with the assistance of independent internal controls consulting firm and from comments received from our auditors while in the performance of their annual audit and reviews of our quarterly filings. Further, our internal control consultants conducted extensive internal controls testing in the following areas: equity grants and stock administration, financial reporting (including impairment testing, period end reconciliation, and financial reporting), IT general and application controls (security and access, capturing and processing information, end user computing, data backup and restoration), and each internal control tested effective. Also the company employs a team of in-house internal control audit personnel. The Company believes that the deficiencies were remediated by the reporting period of January 31, 2013.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On November 4, 2011, a complaint was filed by Larew P. Stouffer, in a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company, which is a nominal defendant, against certain of its then existing officers and/or directors (i.e., Dickson V. Lee, Norman Mineta, Ian G. Robinson, Robert W. Lee, Shirley Kiang, Dennis Bracy, Syd S. Peng) and certain former officers and/or directors (i.e., Edward L. Dowd, Andrew M. Leitch, Robert Okun, Joseph J. Borich, Jung Mei Wang and David Lin) in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada for Carson City (the “Nevada Derivative Suit”), alleging that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders, wasted corporate assets, were unjustly enriched , and committed other wrongful acts.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our company. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Relating to the Company and Our Business

Our business and results of operations depend on the volatile People’s Republic of China domestic coal and international markets.

Substantially all of our coal business is conducted in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), and as a result, our business and operating results depend on the domestic supply and demand for coal and coal products in China. The domestic coal markets are cyclical and have historically experienced pricing volatility, which reflects, among other factors, the conditions of the PRC and global economies and demand fluctuations in key industries that have high coal consumption, such as the power generation and steel industries. Difficult economic conditions in recent periods have resulted in lower coal prices, which in turn negatively affect our operational and financial performance. For example, after reaching record high levels in 2008, the price of domestic coal in China fell in 2009 due to weakening demand as a result of the global economic downturn. The domestic and international coal markets are affected by supply and demand. The demand for coal is primarily affected by the global economy and the performance of power generation, chemical, metallurgy and construction materials industries. The availability and prices of alternative sources of energy, such as natural gas, oil, hydropower, solar and nuclear power also affect the demand for coal. The supply of coal, on the other hand, is primarily affected by the geographical location of coal reserves, the transportation capacity of coal transportation railways, the volume of domestic and international coal supplies and the type, quality and price of competitors’ coal. A significant rise in global coal supply or a reduction in coal demand may have an adverse effect on coal prices, which in turn, may reduce our profitability and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our mining operations are inherently subject to changing conditions that could adversely affect our profitability.

Our coal operations are inherently subject to changing conditions that can adversely affect our levels of production and production costs for varying lengths of time and can result in decreases in profitability. We are exposed to commodity price risk related to the purchase of diesel fuel, wood, explosives and steel. In addition, weather and natural disasters (such as earthquakes, landslides, flooding, and other similar occurrences), unexpected maintenance problems, key equipment failures, fires, variations in thickness of the layer, or seam, of coal, amounts of overburden, rock and other natural materials, variations in rock and other natural materials and variations in geological conditions can be expected in the future to have, a significant impact on our operating results. Prolonged disruption of production at the mine would result in a decrease in our revenues and profitability, which could be material. Other factors affecting the production and sale of our coal and coke that could result in decreases in our profitability include:

· Sustained high pricing environment for raw materials, including, among other things, diesel fuel, explosives and steel;

· Changes in the laws and/or regulations that we are subject to, including permitting, safety, labor and environmental requirements;

· Labor shortages; and

· Changes in the coal markets and general economic conditions.

Our results of operations depend on our ability to acquire new coal mines and other coal-related businesses.

The recoverable coal reserves in mines decline as coal is extracted from them. In addition, the coal related business in China is heavily regulated by the PRC government, which, among other things, imposes limits on the amount of coal that may be extracted. As a result, our ability to significantly increase our production capacity at existing mines is limited, and our ability to increase our coal production will depend on acquiring new mines. Our existing mines are the DaPuAn, SuTsong, WeiShe, LuoZhou and LaShucoal mines as of now.

Our ability to acquire new coal mines and to expand production capacity in China and to procure related licenses and permits is subject to approval of the PRC government (including local governments.) Delays in securing or failure to secure relevant PRC government approvals, licenses or permits, as well as any adverse change in government policies, may hinder our expansion plans, which may materially and adversely affect our profitability and growth prospects. We cannot assure you that our future acquisitions, expansions, or investments will be successful. As part of our growth strategy, the Company may decide spin off or dispose smaller assets or operations that management and the Board of Directors determine not be in the best interest of LLEN shareholders in the long run.

Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition targets or acquire these targets on competitive terms and in a timely manner. We may not be able to successfully develop new coal mines or expand our existing ones in accordance with our development plans or at all. We may also fail to acquire or develop additional coal washing facilities in the future. Failure to successfully acquire suitable targets on competitive terms, develop new coal mines or expand our existing coal mines and other coal related operations could have an adverse effect on our competitiveness and growth prospects. Further, the benefits of an acquisition may take considerable time and other resources to develop and we cannot assure investors that any particular acquisition or joint venture will produce the intended benefits. Moreover, the identification and completion of these transactions may require us to expend significant management time and effort and other resources.

If we fail to obtain additional financing we will be unable to execute our business plan.

As we continue to expand our business, we require capital infusions from the capital market. Under our current business strategy, our ability to grow will depend on the availability of additional funds, suitable acquisition targets at an acceptable cost, and working capital. Our ability to compete effectively, to reach agreements with acquisition targets on commercially reasonable terms, to secure critical financing and to attract professional managers is critical to our success. We will require additional funds to complete recent acquisitions, as well as to make future acquisitions, continue improving our current coal mines and other coal processing facilities, and to obtain regulatory approvals for our operations. We intend to seek additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing, strategic transactions and/or from other sources. However, there are no assurances that future funding will be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional funding is not obtained, we will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives or overhead expenditures, to the extent necessary. The failure to fund our capital requirements would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Coal reserve estimates may not be indicative of reserves that we actually recover.

The coal reserves disclosed for the mines from which we have the right to extract coal are the estimated quantities (based on applicable reporting regulations) that under present and anticipated conditions have the potential to be economically mined and processed. However, the amount of coal that we may extract from a given mine is limited by the mining rights granted to us by local governmental authorities. In addition, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of coal reserves and in projecting potential future rates of coal production including many factors beyond our control. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground deposits of reserves that cannot be measured in an exact manner and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of different engineers may vary (e.g., in coal grade and reserve quantity) and results of our mining/drilling and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of estimates. Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production experience and other factors. In addition, several factors including the market price of coal reduced recovery rates or increased production costs due to inflation or other factors may render certain estimated coal reserves uneconomical to exploit and may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

U.S.-listed companies with substantial business operations in China have recently become subject to increased scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity.

Since 2010, a number of U.S. publicly-listed companies with substantial operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) resulting in loss of share value. Much of the scrutiny and negative publicity has centered around accounting weaknesses, inadequate corporate governance and, in some cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of such scrutiny and negative publicity, the stock prices of most U.S. publicly-listed reverse merger companies and other public companies with operations in China have sharply decreased in recent years.

Our industry is heavily regulated and we may not be able to remain in compliance with all such regulations and we may be required to incur substantial costs in complying with such regulation.

We are subject to extensive regulation by China’s Mining Ministry and by other provincial, county and local authorities in jurisdictions in which our products are processed or sold, regarding the processing, storage, and distribution of our product. Our processing facilities are subject to periodic inspection by national, province, county and local authorities. We may not be able to comply with current laws and regulations, or any future laws and regulations. To the extent that new regulations are adopted, we will be required to adjust our activities in order to comply with such regulations. We may be required to incur substantial costs in order to comply. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, operations and finances. Changes in applicable laws and regulations may also have a negative impact on our sales.

Government regulation of our operations imposes additional costs on us, and future regulations could increase those costs or limit our ability to mine, crush, clean, process and sell coal. China’s central, provincial and local authorities regulate the coal mining industry with respect to matters such as employee health and safety, permitting and licensing requirements, air quality standards, water pollution, plant and wildlife protection, reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining is completed, the discharge of materials into the environment, surface subsidence from underground mining and the effects that mining has on groundwater quality and availability. We are required to prepare and present to China’s central, provincial and local authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed processing of coal may have upon the environment. The costs, liabilities and requirements associated with these regulations may be costly and time-consuming and may delay commencement, expansion or continuation of our coal processing operations. The possibility exists that new legislation and/or regulations and orders may be adopted that may materially and adversely affect our operations, our cost structure and/or our customers’ ability to use coal. New legislation or administrative regulations (or judicial interpretations of existing laws and regulations), including proposals related to the protection of the environment that would further regulate and tax the coal industry, may also require us and our customers to change operations significantly or incur increased costs. Certain sales agreements contain provisions that allow a purchaser to terminate its contract if legislation is passed that either restricts the use or type of coal permissible at the purchaser’s plant or results in specified increases in the cost of coal or its use. These factors and legislation, if enacted, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business operations and financial results may be adversely affected by present or future environmental regulations, coal industry standards and safety requirements, including mine shut downs in 2011

As a producer of coal products in China, we are subject to significant, extensive and increasingly stringent environmental protection laws, governmental regulations on coal standards and safety requirements. These laws and regulations, among other things:

· Impose fees for the discharge of waste substances and pollutants;

· Require the establishment of reserves for reclamation and rehabilitation;

· Impose fines for serious environmental offenses; and

· Authorize the PRC government, at its discretion, to close any facility that it determines has failed to comply with environmental regulations, operating standards, and suspend any coal operations that cause excessive environmental damage.

Some of our operations are based on traditional, old coal extraction and processing techniques, which are popular in China, and which produce waste water, gas emissions and solid waste materials. The PRC government has tightened enforcement of applicable laws and regulations and adopted more stringent environmental and operational standards. We believe that our coal mining and washing operations comply in all material respects with existing Chinese environmental and safety standards. However, some of our mines were subject to what we believed county-wide shut downs and safety inspection of coal mines by the local governments in 2011. The temporary government mandated-shut down was slowing resumed during 2012. As a result, our results of operations were named in 2011 and 2012.

In addition, our budgeted amount for environmental and safety regulatory compliance may not be sufficient, and we may need to allocate additional funds for this purpose. If we fail to comply with current or future environmental and safety laws and regulations, we may be required to pay penalties or fines or take corrective actions, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition. China is a signatory to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which are intended to limit greenhouse gas emissions. On March 14, 2011, the PRC government approved the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, which sets goals to decrease the amount of energy consumed per unit of GDP by 16% from 2010 levels, cap energy use at 4 billion tons of coal equivalents by 2015 and reduce the carbon emissions by 17% from 2010 levels by 2015. Efforts to reduce energy consumption use low-carbon coal, and control greenhouse gas emissions could materially reduce coal consumption, which would adversely affect our revenue and our business.

For example, in early 2013, China’s Capital City Beijing had experienced very serious air pollution problem which, was partly contributed by burning of coal for heating during the winter months. This had caused internationally attention and seriously damaged the reputation of China. As a result, it is possible that Chinese government may consider regulation and administrative actions that may negatively impact the entire coal business in China which may increase our cost of operation and profitability.

We depend on Dickson V. Lee, Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the loss of who could adversely affect our operations

The future success of our investments in China is dependent on Mr. Dickson V. Lee, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. If Mr. Lee is unable or unwilling to continue in his present positions, we may not be able to easily replace him, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel. The loss of Mr. Lee could severely disrupt our business and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, since the industries we invest in are characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, we may need to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain key personnel in the future. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to attract or retain the key personnel needed to achieve our business objectives. While Mr. Dickson V. Lee is covered by a one-year term accident insurance policy in China, which is paid for by the Company, we currently do not maintain “key person” life insurance coverage for any of our officers.

Our dependence on managerial, technical personal and mining workers could adversely affect our operations.

We are currently operating five mines in GuiZhou and Yunnan Provinces. Although WeiShe, LuoZhou and LaShu are all located in GuiZhou Province within 5-10 hours drive from each other and thus provide the Company some shared resources on key management personnel. However, we still need to have dedicated management team in each mine to oversee the daily operation. Due to the remoteness of these mines (7-10 hours drive from major cities), it is difficult to attract qualified managers and technical staff to work at these mines for the long term. In addition, China is now expiring labor shortage due to the aging population and one child policy, the younger generation workers would like to work in cities and away from factories, farms and mines. As a result, it may be difficult for the Company to recruit new workers for our mines located in GuiZhou and Yunnan Provinces. The lack of qualified managers, technical personal and mining workers could adversely affect our operations.

Our business is highly competitive and increased competition could reduce our sales, earnings and profitability.

The coal business is highly competitive in China and we face substantial competition in connection with the marketing and sale of our products. Some of our competitors are well established, have greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources, have been in business for longer periods of time than we have, and have products that have gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace. The greater financial resources of our competitors will permit them to implement extensive marketing and promotional programs. We could fail to expand our market share, and could fail to maintain our current share. Increased competition could also result in overcapacity in the Chinese coal industry in general. The coal industry in China has experienced overcapacity in the past. During the mid-1970s and early 1980s, a growing coal market and increased demand for coal in China attracted new investors to the coal industry, spurred the development of new mines and resulted in added production capacity throughout the industry, all of which led to increased competition and lower coal prices. Similarly, an increase in future coal prices could encourage the development of expanded capacity by new or existing coal processors. Any overcapacity could reduce coal prices in the future and our profitability would be impaired.

We may suffer losses resulting from industry-related accidents and lack of insurance.

We operate coal mines and related facilities that may be affected by water, gas, fire or structural problems and earthquakes. As a result, we, like other companies operating coal mines, have experienced accidents that have caused property damage and personal injuries. Although we continuously reviews our existing operational standards, including insurance coverage and have implemented safety measures, fire training at our mining operations and provided on-the-job training for our employees and workers, there can be no assurance that industry-related accidents, earthquakes or other disasters will not occur in the future. The insurance industry in China is still in its development stage, and Chinese insurance companies offer only limited business insurance products. We currently only have work-related injury insurance for our employees at the DaPuAn, SuTsong, Weishe, LuoZhou and LaShu mines and limited accident insurance for staff and miners working in China. Any uninsured losses and liabilities incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions to the Chinese railway transportation system and the other limited modes of transportation by which we deliver our products may adversely affect our ability to sell our coal products.

A substantial portion of the coal products we sell is transported to our customers by the Chinese national railway system. As the railway system has limited transportation capacity and cannot fully satisfy coal transportation requirements, discrepancies between capacity and demand for transportation exist in certain areas of the PRC. No assurance can be given that we will continue to be allocated adequate railway transport capacity or acquire adequate rail cars, or that we will not experience any material delay in transporting our coal as a result of insufficient railway transport capacity or rail cars.

Some of our business operations depend on a single transportation carrier or a single mode of transportation to deliver our coal products. Disruption of any of these transportation services due to weather-related problems, flooding, drought, accidents, mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and other events could temporarily impair our ability to supply coal to our customers. Our transportation providers may face difficulties in the future that may impair our ability to supply coal to our customers, resulting in decreased revenues.

Our continued operations of coal mines are dependent on our ability to obtain and maintain mining licenses and other PRC government approvals for our mining operations.

Unlike land in the United States, much of which is owned by private individuals, the land and underlying minerals in China belongs to the PRC government and is only leased to lessees such as us on a long-term basis, ranging from 40 to 70 years. Further, coal reserves are owned by the PRC government, which issues mining licenses and exclusive mining rights for a particular mine to a mining operator on a long term basis (normally 50 years). This license allows the mining operators to operate and extract coal from the mine. Thus, coal mining licenses are the exclusive evidence of approval of a coal miner’s mining rights by the PRC government. The government charges all mining operators an upfront fee plus a surcharge ranging from 2%-3% of the value of the coal excavated from the ground. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional mining licenses (including licenses to expand our production capacity at our existing mines) and rights for additional mines or to maintain such licenses for our existing operations. The loss or failure to obtain or maintain these licenses in full force and effect will have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct our business and on our financial condition.

Furthermore, the coal industry in China is heavily regulated by the government for safety and operational reasons. Several licenses and permits are required in order to operate a coal mine. These licenses and permits, once issued, are reviewed typically once a year. Failure to comply with such regulations could result in fines or temporary or permanent shutdowns of our mining operations, which would adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Risks inherent to mining could increase the cost of operating our business.

Our coal mining operations are subject to conditions beyond our control that can delay coal deliveries or increase the cost of mining at particular mines for varying lengths of time. These conditions include weather and natural disasters, unexpected maintenance problems, key equipment failures, variations in coal seam thickness, variations in the amount of rock and soil overlying the coal deposit, variations in rock and other natural materials and variations in geologic conditions.

As with all underground coal mining companies, our operations are affected by mining conditions such as a deterioration in the quality or thickness of faults and/or coal seams, pressure in mine openings, presence of gas and/or water inflow and propensity for spontaneous combustion, as well as operational risks associated with industrial or engineering activity, such as mechanical breakdowns. Although we have conducted geological investigations to evaluate such mining conditions and adapt our mining plans to address them, there can be no assurance that the occurrence of any adverse mining conditions would not result in an increase in our costs of production, a reduction of our coal output or the temporary suspension of our operations.

Underground mining is also subject to certain risks such as methane outbursts and accidents caused by roof weakness and ground-falls. There can be no assurance that the occurrence of such events or conditions would not have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

We have not maintained sufficient documentation of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended April 30, 2010 and 2011, and have identified material weaknesses in our system of internal controls relating to the same.

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its Annual Report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010 and 2011 and concluded that we did not maintain effective controls over the process of ensuring timely preparation of our financial reporting as of and for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2011. In addition, our auditor, Kabani & Co. Inc., identified material weaknesses in our system of internal controls relating to the same. During the last two fiscal years, we have taken several steps to improve our internal control procedures, including adding additional internal and external resources. Until we are able to ensure the effectiveness of our internal controls, any material weaknesses may materially adversely affect our ability to report accurately our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and reliable manner. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also expect these developments will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to attract and retain additional members to the board of directors (both independent and non-independent), and additional executives.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Our Chinese operations pose certain risks because of the evolving state of the Chinese economy and Chinese political, legislative and regulatory systems. Changes in the interpretations of existing laws and the enactment of new laws may negatively impact our business and results of operation.

Although our principal executive office is located in Seattle, Washington, all of our current coal business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including its levels of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, and control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Doing business in China involves various risks including internal and international political risks, evolving national economic policies, governmental policy on coal industry, as well as financial accounting standards, expropriation and the potential for a reversal in economic conditions. Since the late 1970s, the Chinese government has been reforming its economic system. These policies and measures may from time to time be modified or revised. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. Furthermore, while the Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources, some of these measures may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. Also, since early 2004, the Chinese government has implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth including certain levels of price controls on raw coking coal. Such controls could cause our margins to be decreased. In addition, such measures may cause a decrease in the level of economic activity in China, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Adverse changes in economic policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations, if any, could have a material and adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, and could adversely affect our business operations.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the application of Chinese laws, especially with respect to existing and future foreign investments in China. Despite China having its own securities laws and regulators, the Chinese legal system is in a developmental stage and has historically not enforced its Chinese securities law as rigidly as their U.S. counterparts. The interpretation and application of existing Chinese laws, regulations and policies, and the stated positions of the Chinese authorities may change and possible new laws, regulations or policies will impact our business and operations. Because of the evolving nature of the law, it will be difficult for us to manage and plan for changes that may arise. China’s judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, resulting in significant uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation in China. Consequently, there is a risk that should a dispute arise between us and any party with whom we have entered into a material agreement in China, we may be unable to enforce such agreements under the Chinese legal system. Chinese law will govern almost all of our acquisition agreements, many of which may also require the approval of Chinese government agencies. Thus, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to enforce any of our material agreements or that remedies will be available outside China.

Our business is and will continue to be subject to central, provincial, local and municipal regulation and licensing in China. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process. Compliance with foreign country laws and regulations affecting foreign investment, business operations, currency exchange, repatriation of profits and taxation will increase the risk of investing in our securities.

On January 31, 2013, the Guizhou province of China, in which the Company operates three of its five coal mines, issued a provincial-level notice/order (the “Guizhou Consolidation Policy”) that set forth the following key requirements, among others—by the end of 2013: (i) the total number of coal-mine related business enterprises in the Guizhou province (“Guizhou Coal Enterprise”) shall be limited to no more than 200; (ii) each Guizhou Coal Enterprise in Gui Yang City of Guizhou province shall reach at least the capacity to produce One Million (1,000,000) tons of coal per year; (iii) each Guizhou Coal Enterprise in Liu Pan Shui City of Guizhou province shall reach at least the capacity to produce Two Million (2,000,000) tons of coal per year; (iv) for certain coal mines, the mechanization level for coal-mine development and coal mining shall reach, respectively, 70% and 45% (by the end of 2015, 80% and 55% respectively.) While the Guizhou Consolidation Policy has opened the door for the Company to acquire/consolidate additional smaller coal mines in the Guizhou province at faster speed and at attractive prices, the Company is also aware that the Company’s current coal-production capacity and mechanization level have not met the requirements set forth in the Guizhou Consolidation Policy, but we intend to work diligently to meet the requirements in the policy by the end of 2013.

Restrictions on Chinese currency may limit our ability to obtain operating capital and could restrict our ability to move funds out of China.

The Chinese currency, the Renminbi (RMB), is not a freely convertible currency, which could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to support our business operations and could impair the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries to pay dividends or other distributions to us. We rely on the Chinese government’s foreign currency conversion policies, which may change at any time, in regard to our currency exchange needs. We currently receive all of our revenues in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into other foreign currencies. In China, the government has control over Renminbi reserves through, among other things, direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into other foreign currencies and restrictions on foreign imports. Although foreign currencies which are required for “current account” transactions can be bought freely at authorized Chinese banks, the proper procedural requirements prescribed by Chinese law must be met. Current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. At the same time, Chinese companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange earnings to authorized Chinese banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the Chinese government. This type of heavy regulation by the Chinese government of foreign currency exchange restricts certain of our business operations and a change in any of these government policies, or any other, could further negatively impact our operations.

Our ownership structure is subject to regulatory controls by the PRC government, including approvals and timely payments in connection with our acquisitions. Failure to obtain such approvals or to timely remit required payments may cause the unwinding of our acquisitions.

On October 21, 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued a circular (“Circular 75”), effective November 1, 2005, which repealed Circular 11 and Circular 29, which previously required Chinese residents to seek approval from SAFE before establishing any control of a foreign company or transfer of China-based assets or equity for the shares of the foreign company. SAFE also issued a news release about the issuance of Circular 75 to make it clear that China’s national policies encourage the efforts by Chinese private companies and high technology companies to obtain offshore financing. Circular 75 confirmed that the uses of offshore special purpose vehicles (“SPV”) as holding companies for PRC investments are permitted as long as proper foreign exchange registrations are made with SAFE. As China continues to develop its legal system, additional legal, administrative, and regulatory rules and regulations may be enacted, and we may become subject to the additional rules and regulation applicable to the our Chinese subsidiaries.

Our Chinese subsidiaries, Kunming Biaoyu Industrial Boiler Co., Ltd. (“KMC”) havebeen registered as American subsidiaries, and all required capital contributions have been made into them. We own our equity ownership interest in the DaPuAn and SuTsong Mines through a nominee who is a Chinese citizen that holds our equity ownership in trust for our benefit under an agency agreement executed in April 2008, and we refer to the operations as “L & L Coal Partners” Because this equity will be held by a nominee, no SAFE approval is necessary for it. We believe that Circular 75 and other related Circulars or regulations may likely be further clarified by SAFE, in writing or through oral comments by officials from SAFE, or through implementation by SAFE in connection with actual transactions. However, if we fail to obtain the required PRC government approvals for our acquisitions or fail to remit all of the required payments for acquisitions, such acquisitions may be deemed void or unwound. Should this occur, we may seek to acquire the equity interest of our subsidiaries through other means, although no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so, nor can we assure that we will be successful if we do.

We may have to incur unanticipated costs because of the unpredictability of the Chinese legal system.

The Chinese legal system has many uncertainties. The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, Chinese legislation and regulations have enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently-enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the Chinese legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

It will be difficult for any shareholder to commence a legal action against our executives. Most of our assets are located in China.

Because our directors and officer(s) reside both within and outside of the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce his or her rights against them or to enforce United States court judgments against them if they live outside the United States. Most of our assets are located outside of the United States in China. Additionally, we plan to continue acquiring other energy-related entities in China in the future. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to affect service of process upon us or our directors or officers, or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on us or our directors and officers under federal securities laws. Moreover, China currently does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts.

We are subject to currency fluctuations from our Chinese operations and fluctuations in the exchange rate may negatively affect our expenses and results of operations, as well as the value of our assets and liabilities.

Effective July 21, 2005, The People’s Bank of China announced that the Renminbi (RMB) exchange rate regime changed from a fixed rate of exchange based upon the U.S. dollar to a managed floating exchange rate regime based upon market supply and demand of a basket of currencies. On July 26, 2005, the exchange rate against the Renminbi was adjusted to 8.11 Renminbi per U.S. dollar from 8.28 Renminbi per U.S. dollar, which represents an adjustment of approximately two percent. As of January31, 2012, the Renminbi appreciated to approximately RMB 6.31 per U.S. Dollar. It is expected that the revaluation of the Renminbi and the exchange rate of the Renminbi may continue to change in the future. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB and the United States dollar could adversely affect our operating results. Results of our business operations are translated at average exchange rates into United States Dollars for purposes of reporting results. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities. Fluctuations may adversely affect the comparability of period-to-period results. We do not use hedging techniques to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock prices.

New governmental regulation relating to greenhouse gas emissions may subject us to significant new costs and restrictions on our operations.

Climate change is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which has led to significant legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. There are bills pending in Congress that would regulate greenhouse gas emissions. While US regulations are not applicable in China, China has agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP which may reduce the rate of growth in coal consumption in China. Additionally as China begins to implement more stringent environmental and safety regulations our mining and operational costs may increase.

In the middle of November 2012, China completed its 18^th National Congress for it is once a decade leadership transition. The new leaders have shown to willingness to take necessary step to boost the economic growth in the orderly manner in China for the coming years. However, it is very difficult to predict the government policies and direction under the new leadership for the next decade. Certain new government policies may negatively impact our business in China in the future and thus our shareholders values.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The market price of our stock may be volatile.

The market price of our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

· Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

· Changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

· Conditions in coal energy markets;

· Changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other coal energy companies;

· Announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

· Addition or departure of key personnel;

· Fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. dollar; and

· General economic or political conditions in China and USA.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.

Our corporate actions are substantially influenced by our principal stockholders and affiliated entities.

Members of our management and their affiliated entities own or have the beneficial ownership right to approximately 18% of our outstanding common shares, representing approximately 17% of our voting power. These stockholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters such as approving mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these stockholders and their affiliated entities. While all of our stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities. As such, it would be difficult for stockholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management. There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as stockholders will be viewed favorably by all stockholders of the company.

We have the right to issue additional common stock and preferred stock without the consent of our stockholders. If we issue additional shares in the future, this may result in dilution to our existing stockholders and could decrease the value of your shares.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 120,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares up to the authorized capital stated in the articles of incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of our company.

Our business strategy calls for strategic acquisitions of additional coal mines and other coal-related businesses. It is anticipated that future acquisitions will require cash and issuances of our capital stock, including our common stock, warrants, preferred shares or convertible bonds in the future. To the extent we are required to pay cash for any acquisition, we anticipate that we would be required to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing from either the public sector, or private financing. Equity financing would result in dilution for our stockholders. Stock issuances and equity financing, if obtained, may not be on terms favorable to us, and could result in dilution to our stockholders at the time(s) of these stock issuances and equity financings.

Our authorized preferred stock constitutes what is commonly referred to as “blank check” preferred stock. This type of preferred stock allows our board of directors to divide the preferred stock into series, to designate each series, to fix and determine separately for each series any one or more relative rights and preferences and to issue shares of any series without further stockholder approval. This authorized preferred stock allows our board of directors to hinder or discourage an attempt to gain control of us by a merger, tender offer at a control premium price, proxy contest or otherwise. Consequently, the preferred stock could entrench our management. In addition, the market price of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected by the existence of the preferred stock.

Certain SEC rules and FINRA sales practices may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell and our stock, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If the trading price of our common stock falls below $5.00 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Stockholders should have no expectation of any dividends.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore. To date, we have not declared nor paid any cash dividends. Our board of directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations.

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

As described in greater detail above under Part I, Item 1, Note 25“Ironridge Transaction“, in August 2013, we issued 2,588,888 shares of common stock to Ironridge in connection with Stipulation, which was subject to adjustments as discussed above. In total, we issued 5,933,779 shares of common stock to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”). On November 8, 2013, pursuant to the Order and Stipulation, Ironridge returned 1,079,915 shares to the Company for cancellation.

The Company claims an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the Ironridge Transaction, as the issuance of securities was in exchange for bona fide outstanding claims, where the terms and conditions of such issuance were approved by a court after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions.
