EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amended Filing”) amends Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report of China Natural Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) (as amended, the "Amended 10-Q"), which in turn had amended the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of China Natural Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, originally filed on August 13, 2010 (the “Original Filing”).

As disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as of March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding balances of $9,858,240 and $4,401,000 of loan receivables, extended to Ms. Taoxiang Wang (the “Wang Loan”) and Shanxi JunTai Housing Purchase Ltd. Respectively (the “Juntai Loan”) (together with the Wang Loan, the “Loans”). As of June 30, 2010, the Loans have been repaid in full.

The Company’s Board of Directors has concluded that the Wang Loan was made to parties related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Mr. Qinan Ji, for the benefit of those related parties, and that the nature of the Wang Loan had not been properly disclosed to the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee, its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Frazer Frost, LLP at the time the Wang Loan was made, or its current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Friedman LLP at the time they were engaged as the Company’s new Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in December 2010. Furthermore, neither of the Loans were reported to or approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

As a result, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 21, 2011 to disclose that its financial statements in the Original Filing and the Amended 10-Q should no longer be relied upon due to a failure to correctly disclose the Wang Loan as a related party transaction.

The purpose of this Amended Filing is to reclassify the Wang Loan and properly disclose the related party transaction nature of the Wang Loan. The amendments herein include: (i) reclassification of the Wang Loan from Loan Receivables to Loan Receivables – Related Party, (ii) disclosure of the related party transaction nature of the Wang Loan; and (iii) other disclosures related to the foregoing, including additional material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and certain remediation measures related thereto.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, each item of the Original Filing, as amended by the Amended 10-Q, that is amended by this Amended Filing is also restated in its entirety, and this Amended Filing is accompanied by currently dated certifications on Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Except as described above, this Amended Filing does not amend, update, or change any items, financial statements, or other disclosures in the Original Filing, as amended by the Amended 10-Q, and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, including as to any exhibits to the Original Filing, as amended by the Amended 10-Q, affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the changes described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Filing, as amended by the Amended 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and our other SEC filings subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including the Amended 10-Q and any other amendments to those filings. Capitalized terms not defined in the Amended Filing are as defined by the Original Filing.

Note 1 - Organization

Organization and Line of Business

China Natural Gas, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHNG”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 31, 1999. The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities, located in HongKong, Shaanxi, Henan and Hubei Province in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), engages in sales and distribution of natural gas and gasoline to commercial, industrial and residential customers, construction of pipeline networks, installation of natural gas fittings and parts for end-users, and modification of automobiles services for vehicles to be able to use natural gas.

Recent Developments

On September 8, 2009, Shaanxi Xilan Natural Gas Equipment Co., Ltd (“SXNGE”) increased its registered capital by $26,000,000 from $53,929,260 to $79,929,260. CHNG contributed $10,000,000 and $16,000,000 registered capital to SXNGE on September 29, 2009 and January 13, 2010, respectively.

On February 5, 2010 and April 23, 2010, Jingbian Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (“JBLNG”) increased the registered capital by $6,026,343 and $11,668,376, respectively, which was invested by Xi’an Xilan Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (“XXNGC”) in the form of equipment and cash.

During the second quarter of 2010, XXNGC effectively acquired 100% assets and operating rights of four natural gas stations in Xi’an, PRC, for a total combined cash consideration of $10,502,490 (RMB 71,300,000), which consists of approximately $5.6 million plant and equipment and approximately $4.9 million operating rights.

Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statement

The Company is hereby restating its quarterly consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010, originally filed on May 7, 2010 (the “Original Filing”) and amended thereafter (the “Previous Amendments”), to make appropriate disclosure of the related party transaction nature of certain unauthorized loan made by the Company, and reclassify the loan into appropriate account in the consolidated financial statements and revise the description in the notes to such financial statements .

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company extended loans of $9,858,240 to Ms. Taoxiang Wang (the “Wang Loan”) and $4,401,000 to Shanxi JunTai Housing Purchase Ltd. Respectively (the “Juntai Loan”) (together with the Wang Loan, the “Loans”). The Company’s Board of Directors has concluded that the Wang Loan was made to parties related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Mr. Qinan Ji, for the benefit of those related parties, and that the nature of the Wang Loan had not been properly disclosed to the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee, its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Frazer Frost, LLP at the time the Wang Loan was made, or its current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Friedman LLP at the time they were engaged as the Company’s new Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in December 2010. Furthermore, neither of the Loans were reported to or approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors made a decision to restate the consolidated financial statements upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee and management. The general nature and scope of the adjustments are summarized as follows:

(1)

Disclosure of related party transaction nature and reclassification of loans receivable ——Xi’an Demaoxing Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Demaoxing”) was formed in November 2007 by relatives of Mr. Qinan Ji, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Demaoxing Promoters”). In January 2010, Shaanxi Xilan Natural Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. (“SXNGE”), one of the Company’s major subsidiaries, extended a loan of US$9,858,240 to Ms. Taoxiang Wang (the “Wang Loan”), who obtained a 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing on January 21, 2010. Ms. Taoxiang Wang used her 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing and its assets as collateral for the Wang Loan. On January 21, 2010, the Demaoxing Promoters also transferred 30% of their ownership interests in Demaoxing to Shaanxi Rongxin Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Rongxin”). On January 26, 2010, the Wang Loan funds were remitted by SXNGE to an account of Demaoxing. The Board of Directors has determined that the Demaoxing Promoters retained indirect beneficial interests in Demaoxing after transferring their ownership interests and thus the Wang Loan was a related party transaction. The Company herein makes appropriate disclosures of the related party transaction nature of the Wang Loan and reclassifies the Wang Loan from Loans Receivable to Loans Receivable – Related Party throughout its quarterly consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2010.

In the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the following reclassification is made:

(1)	The item Loans to Third Parties of $14,259,240 is reclassified into two items, which are Loans to Related Party of $9,858,240 and Loans to third party of $4,401,000, respectively.

(2)	The item Repayment of loans receivable of $14,552,620 is reclassified into two items, which are Repayment of loans receivable – related party of $9,858,240 and Repayment of loans receivable – third party of $4,694,380

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”); therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in USD.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statements of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. The information included in this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2009 annual report filed on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Natural Gas, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its 100% variable interest entities (“VIE”). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard regarding consolidation, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

On February 21, 2006, the Company formed SXNGE as a wholly-owned foreign enterprise (WOFE). Then through SXNGE, the Company entered into exclusive arrangements with XXNGC and its shareholders that give the Company the ability to substantially influence XXNGC’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder approval. The Company memorialized these arrangements on August 17, 2007 and made retroactive to March 8, 2006. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of XXNGC as VIE. The arrangements consist of the following agreements:

XXNGC holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its natural gas business in China.

SXNGE provides exclusive technology consulting and other general business operation services to XXNGC in return for a consulting services fee which is equal to XXNGC’s revenue.

XXNGC’ shareholders have pledged their equity interests in XXNGC to the Company.

Irrevocably granted the Company an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in XXNGC and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person appointed by the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. The functional currency of PRC subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Our results of operations and financial position of the PRC subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars using the period end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and weighted average exchange rates as to revenues, expenses and cash flows. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. The resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. As a result, translation adjustments amount related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding consolidated balances on the balance sheet. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2010 were translated RMB 6.79 to $1.00 as compared to RMB 6.82 at December 31, 2009. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were RMB 6.82 to $1.00.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board (“HKDPB”) insured limits for the banks located in Hong Kong or may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had total deposits of $41,832,543 and $47,459,560, respectively, without insurance coverage or in excess of HKDPB or FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are netted against an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis in the period of the related sales. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable, and known bad debts are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. The

Company recorded allowance for bad debts of $206,514 and $163,280 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Other Receivable – Employee Advances

From time to time, the Company advances predetermined amounts based upon internal Company policy to certain employees and internal units to ensure certain transactions are performed in a timely manner. The Company has full oversight and control over the advanced accounts. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no allowance for the uncollectible accounts was deemed necessary.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value, and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower. Inventories consist of materials used in the construction of pipelines and in repairing and modifying vehicles. Inventories also consist of gasoline.

The following are the details of the inventories:

	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009

In January 2010, XXNGC, the variable interest entity of SXNGE, extended another loan of US$4,401,000 to Juntai, which obtained a 30% ownership interest in Demaoxing on January 21, 2010. Juntai used an individual guarantee and its 30% ownership interest in Demaoxing and its assets as collateral for the Juntai Loan. XXNGC remitted the Juntai Loan funds to an account designated by Juntai on January 8, 2010 and January 11, 2010. The Company’s Board of Directors was not notified of the extension of the Juntai Loan by the Company, and did not approve the Juntai Loan. Upon learning of the existence of the Juntai Loan in April 2010, the Board of Directors required that the Juntai Loan be immediately repaid. In May 2010, the principal of the Juntai Loan was repaid together with an interest payment of US$87,923, settling the Juntai Loan in full. The applicable interest rate of this loan is the People’s Bank of China’s standard one-year rate, 5.31% at inception of the loan, which is subject to change with the government policy, plus an additional 10% interest rate float. Pursuant to these terms, the interest rates were 5.84% at the inception date and March 31, 2010.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and other comprehensive income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Investee company is reflected in the caption “Earnings (loss) on equity investment” in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reflected in the caption “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method, the investee company is reduced to zero and no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the Investee company or has committed additional funding. When the Investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress (“CIP”) consists of the cost of constructing property and equipment for the Company’s gas stations and a new project of processing, distribution and sale of LNG. The major cost of construction in progress relates to technology licensing fees, equipment purchases, land use rights requisition cost, capitalized interest and other construction fees. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. Interest incurred during construction is capitalized into construction in progress. All other interest is expensed as incurred.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had construction in progress in the amount of $78,363,718 and $52,918,236, respectively. Interest cost capitalized into construction in progress for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, amounted to $1,627,034 and $1,172,547, respectively. Interest cost capitalized into construction in progress for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, amounted to $2,990,697 and $2,030,926, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The Intangible Assets mainly consist of operating rights for four newly acquired natural gas stations. The operating rights are deemed to have an indefinite useful life as cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely.

The operating right will not be amortized until its useful life is deemed to be no longer indefinite. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates at least annually, more often when circumstances require, the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used. Impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2010, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue represents prepayments by customers for gas purchases and advance payments on installation of pipeline contracts. The Company records such prepayment as unearned revenue upon the payments are received.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

FASB accounting standard regarding derivatives and hedging specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. This FASB accounting standard also provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the exception.

As a result of adopting this FASB accounting standard, 383,654 warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded equity treatment because the strike price of the warrants is denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Chinese Renminbi. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire.

As such, effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these warrants from equity to liability, as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability since their issuance in October 2007. On January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified from additional paid-in capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment, $5,844,239 to beginning retained earnings and $1,014,308 to warrant liabilities to recognize the fair value of such warrants. The fair value of the warrants was $987,455 and $2,045,638 on June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $665,115 and a loss of $1,312,834 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $1,058,183 and a loss of $1,115,783 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions:

	June 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Annual dividend yield		-			-
Expected life (years)		2.32			2.82
Risk-free interest rate		0.74	%		1.49	%
Expected volatility		80	%		90	%

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the term of the warrants. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company has no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities according to the remaining term of the warrants.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the derivative liabilities were modeled using a series of techniques, including closed-form analytic formula, such as the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which does not entail material subjectivity because the methodology employed does not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets.

Other than the table set forth above, the Company did not identify any other assets and liabilities that are required to be presented its fair value on the balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Revenue from gas and gasoline sales is recognized when gas and gasoline is pumped through pipelines to the end users. Revenue from installation of pipelines is recorded when the contract is completed and accepted by the customers. The construction contracts are usually completed within one to two months. Revenue from repairing and modifying vehicles is recorded when services are rendered to and accepted by the customers.

Enterprise Wide Disclosure

The Company’s chief operating decision-makers (i.e. chief executive officer and his direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by business lines for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria established by the FASB’s accounting standard for segment reporting, the Company considers itself to be operating within one reportable segment.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, were insignificant.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records and reports stock-based compensation pursuant to FASB’s accounting standard regarding stock compensation which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this accounting standard, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.

Income Taxes

FASB’s accounting standard regarding income taxes requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, there was no significant book to tax differences. There is no difference between book depreciation and tax depreciation as the Company uses the same method for both book and tax. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Local PRC Income Tax

The Company’s subsidiary and VIEs operate in China. Starting January 1, 2008, pursuant to the tax laws of China, general enterprises are subject to income tax at an effective rate of 25% compared to 33% prior to 2008. The Company’s VIE, XXNGC, is in the natural gas industry whose development is encouraged by the government. According to the income tax regulation, any company engaged in the natural gas industry enjoys a favorable tax rate. Accordingly, except for income from SXNGE, JBLNG, Shaanxi Xilan Auto Bodyshop(SXABC), HXNGC, LBNGC and Hubei Xilan Natural Gas Co.,ltd (HBXNGC) which subjects to 25% PRC income tax rate, XXNGC’s income is subject to a reduced tax rate of 15%. A reconciliation of tax at the United States federal statutory rate to the provision for income tax recorded in the financial statements is as follows:

	For the three months ended June 30,						For the six months ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009

Tax provision (credit) at statutory rate		34	%		34	%		34	%		34	%

The estimated tax savings for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, amounted to approximately $527,818 and $721,445, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share, had the income tax been applied, would decrease basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, from $0.21 to $0.19 and $0.26 to $0.21, respectively.

The estimated tax savings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, amounted to approximately $1,026,442 and $1,231,776 respectively. The net effect on earnings per share, had the income tax been applied, would decrease basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, from $0.40 to $0.35 and $0.55 to $0.47, respectively.

China Natural Gas, Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purpose for the period ended June 30, 2010. The estimated net operating loss carry forwards for United States income tax purposes amounted to $3,033,370 and $2,699,276 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2027 through 2030. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appear to be uncertain due to Company's limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at June 30, 2010. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as warranted. The valuation allowances were as follow:

Valuation allowance	For the six months end June 30, 2010		Year ended December 31, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	917,754	$	563,541
Increase		113,592		354,213
Balance, end of period	$	1,031,346	$	917,754

The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $38,037,669 as of June 30, 2010, which is included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if we concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.

Value added tax

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s variable interest entity XXNGC’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 13% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the XXNGC on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product. XXNGC recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.

All revenues from SXABC are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 6%. This VAT cannot offset with VAT paid for materials included in the cost of revenues.

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the FASB’s accounting standard regarding earnings per share. Basic net earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

All share and per share amounts used in the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-2 reverse stock split, which were effective on April 28, 2009.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year ending after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 –Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities. The deferral will mainly impact the evaluation of reporting enterprises’ interests in mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate investment entities that measure their investment at fair value, real estate investment trusts, and venture capital funds. The ASU also clarifies guidance in Statement 167 that addresses whether fee arrangements represent a variable interest for all service providers and decision makers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades,” or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 20-10-17, “Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” or ASU 2010-17 . This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Upon the occurrence of certain events defined in the indenture, the Company must offer the holders of the Senior Notes the right to require the Company to purchase the Senior Notes in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes purchased.

The indenture requires the Company to pay additional interest at the rate of 3.0% per annum of the Senior Notes if the Company has not obtained a listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the New York Stock Exchange by January 29, 2009 and maintained such listing continuously thereafter as long as the Senior Notes are outstanding. As of January 29, 2009, the Company had not obtained a listing of its common stock on the market stated in the agreement. However, the Company obtained a three-month waiver from ABAX for the additional interest payment. The waiver gave the Company three more months until April 28, 2009 to achieve the uplisting status. By the end of the extended period, if the Company was not able to complete the uplisting, the Company would have to pay additional interest retroactively starting January 30, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the waiver. The Company was approved to be listed on Nasdaq on June 1, 2009, which passed the wavier period. In August 2009, the Company reached an agreement with ABAX that the Company was to pay additional interest accrued for the period from April 29, 2009, the expiration date of previous waiver to June 1, 2009, the date of listing. As such, the Company paid $113,214 additional interest to ABAX in August 2009.

The indenture limits the Company's ability to incur debt and liens, make dividend payments and stock repurchases, make investments, reinvest proceeds from asset sales and enter into transactions with affiliates, among other things. The indenture also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.

The Company also entered into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which, as long as an investor holds at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes issued and outstanding or at least 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock pursuant to the warrants on an as-exercised basis (“Minimum Holding”), the Company has agreed not to undertake certain corporate actions without prior Investor approval. In addition, so long as an Investor owns the Minimum Holding, such Investor shall have a right of first refusal for future debt securities offerings by the Company and the Company is subject to certain transfer restrictions on its securities and certain other properties.

From the Closing Date and as long as the Investor continues to hold more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis, the Investor shall be entitled to appoint one of the Company’s board of directors (the “Investor Director”). The Investor Director shall be entitled to serve on each committee of the board, except that, the Investor Director shall not serve on the audit committee unless it is an independent director. Mr. Ji has agreed to vote his shares for the election of the Investor Director.

In connection with the issuance of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $2,122,509 in debt issuance costs which is being amortized over the life of the Senior Notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized $0 and $13,857 of the aforesaid issuance costs, net of capitalized interest. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized $0 and $52,435 of the aforesaid issuance costs, net of capitalized interest.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Investor seven-year warrants exercisable for up to 1,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price equal to $14.7304 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted on the first anniversary of issuance and thereafter, at every six month anniversary beginning in the fiscal year 2009 if the volume weighted average price, or VWAP, (as defined therein) for the 15 trading days prior to the applicable reset date is less than the then applicable exercise price, in which case the exercise price shall be adjusted downward to the then current VWAP; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price be adjusted below $7.3652 per share. The exercise price was adjusted to $7.3652 on January 29, 2009. No further adjustments of the exercise price will be required (as that is the floor price).

The warrants granted to the Investor on January 29, 2008 are considered derivative instruments that need to be bifurcated from the original security. If the Warrants have not been exercised within the seven year period, then the Investor can have the Company purchase the Warrants for $17,500,000. This amount is shown as a debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized $811,397 and $676,981 of the aforesaid discounts, of which $811,397 and $630,497, respectively, were capitalized into construction in progress. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized $1,572,602 and $1,311,061 of the aforesaid discounts, of which $1,572,602 and $1,093,865, respectively, were capitalized into construction in progress.

The warrants have been determined to be derivative liabilities instruments because there is a redemption requirement if the holder does not exercise the Warrants. However, the warrants are not required to be valued at fair value, rather, to be at its undiscounted redemption amount of $17.5 million in the aggregate.

(Unaudited)

The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the options at the time they were issued, based on the stock price on its grant date, the stated exercise prices and expiration dates of the instruments and using a risk-free rate of 4.10%. The estimated life is based on one half of the sum of the vesting period and the contractual life of the option. This is the same as assuming that the options are exercised at the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. $22,008 and $14,842 of compensation expense was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. $44,016 and $29,685 of compensation expense were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of June 30, 2010, $22,008 of estimated expense with respect to non-vested stock-based compensation has yet to be recognized and will be recognized in expense over the optionee’s remaining weighted average service period of approximately three months.

2) 2009 stock option plan

On March 11, 2009, the board of directors approved by written consent the Company’s stock option plan for its employees, directors and consultants. Pursuant to the plan, the total stock option pool will equal to 10% of the Company’s total shares outstanding as of March 11, 2009. Among the option pool approved, 4% shall be awarded in 2009 and another 4% shall be awarded in 2010, and 2% reserved for future awards. For the 2009 stock option award, the CEO and former CFO were granted total options of 1% and 0.6% of the common shares outstanding, 50% as Non-qualified Stock Options (NSO) and 50% as Incentive Stock Awards (ISA), for a vesting period of four years. The Company granted the former CFO, Veronica Chen, options to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 0.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of March 11, 2009, which forfeited as Veronica Chen resigned as CFO. 5,000 option shares per year will be granted to each non-executive board member and 6,000 option shares per year granted to the Audit Committee Chairman. Other senior management and employees will be granted total options of 2.11% of the Company’s common shares. On April 1, 2009, the Company issued 243,850 stock options pursuant to the Company's 2009 employee stock option and stock award plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, options exercisable 61,700 shares of the Company's common stock were forfeit. On May 5, 2010, the company issued 380,850 stock options, including 87,600 stock options to the CFO, David She. The strike price for the options was $4.90 per share.

The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the options at the time they were issued, based on the stock price on its grant date, the stated exercise prices and expiration dates of the instruments and using risk-free rates. The volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated by management based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the estimated life of the options, and the expected dividend yield was based on the current and expected dividend policy. The Company currently uses the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term for share option grants as it does not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company will continue to use the “simplified” method until it feels that it has sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected terms. The estimated life is based on one half of the sum of the vesting period and the contractual life of the option. This is the same as assuming that the options are exercised at the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. Compensation expense of $770,242 and $823,080 was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Note 13 – Related Party Transactions (Restated)

Demaoxing was formed in November 2007 by relatives of Mr. Qinan Ji, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Demaoxing Promoters”). In January 2010, SXNGE, one of the Company’s major subsidiaries, extended a loan of US$9,858,240 to Ms. Taoxiang Wang, who obtained a 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing on January 21, 2010. Ms. Taoxiang Wang used her 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing and its assets as collateral for the Wang Loan. On January 26, 2010, the Wang Loan funds were remitted by SXNGE to an account of Demaoxing. Management of the Company believed that the Wang Loan was adequately secured by collateral. On January 21, 2010, the Demaoxing Promoters also transferred 30% of their ownership interests in Demaoxing to Shaanxi Rongxin Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Rongxin”). The Board of Directors has determined that the Demaoxing Promoters retained indirect beneficial interests in Demaoxing after transferring their ownership interests and thus the Wang Loan was a related party transaction.

The Company’s Board of Directors was not notified of the extension of the Wang Loan by the Company, and did not approve the Loans. Upon learning of the existence of the Wang Loan in April 2010, the Board of Directors required that the Wang Loan be immediately repaid. In April 2010, Demaoxing repaid the principal of the Wang Loan and made an interest payment of US$140,722, settling the Wang Loan in full.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Lease Commitments

The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in accordance to FASB’s accounting standard regarding leases. The Company entered into a series of long-term lease agreements with outside parties to lease land use rights to the self-built Natural Gas fueling stations located in the PRC. The agreements have terms ranging from 10 to 30 years. The Company makes annual prepayments for most lease agreements. The Company also entered into two office leases in Xi’an, PRC, one office lease in Jingbian, PRC, one office lease in Wuhan, PRC and one office lease in New York, NY. The minimum future payment for leasing land use rights and offices is as follows:

Year ending December 31, 2010	$	1,219,507
Year ending December 31, 2011		2,087,346
Year ending December 31, 2012		1,921,385

(b) Property and Equipment Purchase Commitments

The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services and property and equipment for constructing the LNG plant and other CIP projects. The Company has future commitments as followings:

Year ending December 31, 2010	$	12,215,777
Year ending December 31, 2011		382,887
Thereafter		-
Total	$	12,598,664

The Company has existing long-term natural gas purchase agreements with its major suppliers. However, none of those agreements stipulate any specific purchase amount or quota each year, thus giving the Company enough flexibility to constantly look for lower-cost sources of supply. Therefore, the Company is not legally bound in purchase commitments by those agreements.

Note 16 - Subsequent Event

On May 29, 2010, the Company agreed to purchase the 100% ownership in Hanchuan Makou Yuntong Compress Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (“Makou”) from eight individuals. The Company prepaid $3,653,040 (RMB 24,800,000) for the acquisition. As of June 30, 2010, the company has not exercised full control over its operating and financial policies and thus did not consolidate Makou into its consolidated financial statements dated June 30, 2010.

In July 2010, HBXNGC has obtained full control of the assets, operating and financial policies of Makou. The Company will consolidate the assets of Makou in its quarterly financial report for the third quarter of 2010.

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued to determine whether the circumstances warranted recognition and disclosure of those events or transactions in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010.

This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

Overview

We are an integrated natural gas operator in The People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”), primarily involved in distribution of compressed natural gas (“CNG”) through our VIE-owned CNG fueling stations. As of June 30, 2010, our VIE operated 28 CNG fueling stations in Shaanxi province and 12 CNG fueling stations in Henan province. Our VIE own the CNG fueling stations while we lease the land upon which our VIE owned CNG fueling stations operate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we sold 42,955,867 and 83,548,324 cubic meters of CNG through our fueling stations, compared to 41,152,513 and 80,446,633 cubic meters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Our VIE also transport, distribute and sell piped natural gas to residential and commercial customers in the city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province, including Lantian County, and the districts of Lintong and Baqiao, and in the city of Lingbao in Henan Province.

We operate four main business lines:

· Distribution and sale of compressed natural gas through our VIE owned CNG fueling stations for hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles (40 stations as of June 30, 2010,);

· Installation, distribution and sale of piped natural gas to residential and commercial customers through our VIE owned pipelines. We distributed and sold piped natural gas to 112,343 residential customers as of June 30, 2010;

· Distribution and sale of gasoline through our VIE owned CNG fueling stations for gasoline and hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles (eight of our VIE owned CNG fueling stations sold gasoline as of June 30, 2010);

· Conversion of gasoline-fueled vehicles to hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles at our auto conversion sites.

We buy all of the natural gas that we sell and distribute to our customers. We do not mine or produce any of our own natural gas and have no plans to do so during the next 12 months. We currently sell our natural gas in two forms: (i) CNG and (ii) piped natural gas.

On October 24, 2006, our variable interest entity XXNGC, formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, SJLNG, for the purpose of constructing a LNG facility to be located in Jingbian, Shaanxi province. We planned to invest approximately $81 million to construct this facility, with approximately $60 million in phase I construction and installations, $8 million in capitalized interest and $13 million associated with phase II and III of the plant. The construction is funded through the sale of senior notes to Abax and our September 2009 equity financing, as well as cash flows from operations. The LNG plant is under test run currently. The test run is expected to be completed by third quarter 2010. Once test run is completed, the plant is expected to have a processing capacity of 500,000 cubic meters per day, or approximately 150 million cubic meters on an annual basis.

We had total revenues of $21,135,599 and $20,742,520 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively and revenues of $40,502,422 and $39,270,186 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. We had net income of $4,560,503 and $3,862,756 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively and net income of $8,555,773 and $8,064,379 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Significant factors affecting our results of operations are:

Successful expansion of our CNG fueling station business in our target markets. Our revenue increased by 1.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from the three months ended June 30, 2009 and by 3.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the six months ended June 30, 2009 largely because of the addition of 5 new fueling stations added in third quarter of 2009 and first half of 2010, as well as the increase of pipeline natural gas customers. As of June 30, 2010, we operated 40 CNG fueling stations in total and, in Shaanxi alone, we operated 28 CNG fueling stations. We believe we are the largest provider of CNG fueling stations in Xi’an, one of our core target markets for CNG. As of June 30, 2010, we operated 12 CNG fueling stations in Henan province, another of our core target markets. The successful expansion of our CNG fueling station business in Xi’an and Henan province has been a significant factor driving our revenue growth and results of operations for the period reviewed. While we intend to expand into different provinces, we anticipate the growth of our CNG fueling business in Xi’an and Henan province will continue to significantly affect our results of operations as we intend to continue to increase the number of CNG fueling stations we operate in these areas.

Regulation of natural gas prices in the PRC. The prices at which we purchase our natural gas supplies and sell CNG and pipeline natural gas products are strictly regulated by the PRC central government, including the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), and the local state price bureaus have the discretion to set natural gas prices within the boundaries set by the PRC central government. In addition, natural gas procurement and sale prices are not uniform across China and can vary across provinces. For example, the prices at which we procure and sell CNG and piped natural gas are lower in Shaanxi than in Henan. Accordingly, our results of operations and, in particular, our revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit and gross margin are affected significantly by factors which are outside of our control. As we expand our natural gas business into other provinces, we expect our results of operations to continue to be affected significantly by the regulation of natural gas prices in the PRC.

Government policies encouraging the adoption of cleaner burning fuels. Our results of operations for the periods reviewed have benefited from environmental regulations and programs in the PRC that promote the use of cleaner burning fuels, including natural gas for vehicles. As an enterprise engaged in the natural gas industry, our VIE benefits from a reduced income tax rate of 15% compared to the standard 25% enterprise income tax rate in the PRC. In addition, the PRC government has encouraged companies to invest in and build the necessary transportation, distribution and sale infrastructure for natural gas in various policy pronouncements such as by officially including CNG/gasoline hybrid vehicles in the country's "encouraged development" category. These policies have benefited our results of operations by encouraging the demand for our natural gas products and also by lowering our expenses. As we plan to expand into the LNG business, we anticipate that our results of operations will continue to be affected by government policies encouraging the adoption of cleaner burning fuels and the increased adoption of CNG and LNG technology.

The overall economic growth of China’s economy. We do not export our products outside China and our results of operations are thus substantially affected by the growth of the industrial base, the increase in residential, commercial and vehicular consumption and the overall economic growth of China. While China's economy has experienced a slowdown in 2008 and a recovery period in 2009 and 2010, Although the government has initiated extensive domestic stimulus spending, expanded bank lending, increases in the speed of regulatory approvals of new construction projects and other economic policies, we are currently unable to predict the overall direction of PRC economy. Our results of operations rely on the overall success of China’s economy and may be affected by the macro economic trends.

Taxation

United States

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware and are subject to the tax laws of the United States. We incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes for the period ended June 30, 2010, and the estimated net operating loss carry forwards for United States income tax purposes amounted to $3,033,370 and $2,699,276 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2027 through 2030. Our management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appear to be uncertain due to our Company's limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, we have provided a 100% valuation allowance at June 30, 2010.

The PRC

Our subsidiary, VIE and its subsidiaries operate in China. Starting January 1, 2008, pursuant to the tax laws of China, general enterprises are subject to income tax at an effective rate of 25% compared to 33% prior to 2008. Based on certain income tax regulations adopted in 2001 to encourage the development of certain industries, including the natural gas industry, in the western portions of China such as Shaanxi Province, XXNGC is subject to a reduced tax rate of 15%. Accordingly, except for income from XXNGC, which is subject to the reduced tax rate of 15%, income from SXNGE, SJLNG, XXABC, HXNGC, LBNGC, and HBXNGC are subject to the 25% PRC income tax rate. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately 17.6% and 23.5%, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately 18.1% and 21.3%, respectively.

Value Added Tax

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax ("VAT"). All of our variable interest entity XXNGC's products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 13% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by XXNGC on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished products. XXNGC records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in its financial statements. VAT tax returns are filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.

All revenues from XXABC are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 17%. This VAT also can be offset with VAT paid for materials included in the cost of revenues.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

The following table represents the consolidated operating results for the three months period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Total	$	21,135,599	$	20,742,520	$	393,079			1.9	%

Overall. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $21,135,599 from $20,742,520 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $393,079 or 1.9 %. This increase was mainly due to the addition of 5 new fueling stations added in third quarter of 2009 and first half of 2010, as well as an increase in the number of residential and commercial pipeline customers to 112,343 as of June 30, 2010 from 103,343 as of June 30, 2009, We sold natural gas of 46,033,415 cubic meters during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 44,090,672 cubic meters during the three months ended June 30, 2009. We also sold gasoline of 2,584,827 liters during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 2,707,531 liters during the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, 86.4% of our revenue was generated from the sale of natural gas and gasoline, and the other 13.6% was generated from our installation and auto conversion services.

Natural Gas from Fueling Stations. Natural gas revenue from our fueling stations increased by 2.9% or $438,981 to $15,490,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $15,051,319 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and contributed to 73.3% of our total revenue, which was the largest among our four major business lines. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold 42,955,867 cubic meters of compressed natural gas, compared to 41,152,513 cubic meters during the three months ended June 30, 2009 through our fueling stations. In terms of average station sales value and volume, in the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold approximately $387,257 and 1,073,897 cubic meters of compressed natural gas per station, compared to approximately $430,038 and 1,175,786 cubic meters in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Unit selling price remained stable at $0.34 (RMB2.34) and $0.42 (RMB2.83) net of VAT in Shaanxi and Henan province, respectively, or $0.37 (RMB 2.49) on an average basis.

Natural Gas from Pipelines. Natural gas revenue from our pipelines increased by 9.2%, or $61,343 to $730,703 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $669,360 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and contributed to 3.5% of our total revenue. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 112,343 pipeline customers, an increase of 9,000 customers comparing to as of June 30, 2009. We also sold 3,077,548 cubic meters of natural gas through our pipelines during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 2,938,159 cubic meters during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Gasoline. Revenue from gasoline sales increased by 24.5 % or $400,824, to $2,033,840 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1,633,016 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and contributed 9.6% to our total revenue. The gasoline revenue increase was due to 31.7% increase of unit sales price from $ 0.60 (RMB4.11) per liter in the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $0.79 (RMB 5.36) per liter in the three months ended June 30, 2010, mainly attributable to the increase of international oil price, partially offset by the sales volume decrease of 4.5% from 2,707,531 liters to 2,567,364 liters.

Installation Services. Revenue from installation services decreased by 13.0%, or $348,611 to $ 2,341,553 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $2,690,164 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and contributed 11.1% to our total revenue.

Overall. Our cost of revenue consists of the cost of natural gas and gasoline sold, installation and other costs. Cost of natural gas and gasoline sold consists of the cost for purchase from our suppliers. Cost of installation and other costs include certain expenditures for the connection of customers to our pipeline system, and the cost for converting gasoline-fueled vehicles into natural gas hybrid vehicles.

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $11,520,067, an increase of $1,055,737, or 10.1%, from $ 10,464,330 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, mainly attributable to increase in procurement cost in Henan Province. Our revenue increased by 1.9% during the same period.

Natural Gas from Fueling Stations. Cost of revenue of our natural gas for our fueling stations increased by 11.7%, or $823,927, to $7,847,102 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $7,023,175 during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Procurement price for natural gas remained stable at $0.16 (RMB 1.12) in Shaanxi since 2008. In Henan Province, the Company started to use coal bed methane (‘CBM’) as an alternative to regular natural gas to supply its fueling station in July 2008. The price for CBM is historically at a discount compared with natural gas, as a result the average cost of fueling station revenue in Henan decreased from $0.22 (RMB 1.55) to $0.14 (RMB 1.0) in July 2008. However, due to uncertainty in the production capacity of CBM as a byproduct of coal mines as well as the increasing demand of both CBM and natural gas, average cost of fueling station revenue in Henan increased to $0.19 (RMB 1.30) in June 2009 and $0.23 (RMB 1.58) in second quarter of 2010. The cost, however, is still significantly below the retail price at $0.42 (RMB 2.83) in Henan Province.

Natural Gas from Pipelines. Cost of revenue of our natural gas sold through our pipelines increased by 9.3%, or $43,545 to $510,888 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $467,343 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, which was in line with the sales increase.

Gasoline. Cost of our gasoline revenue increased by 24.9% or $380,542, to $1,910,294 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $1,529,752 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of cost of gasoline revenue was due to the effect of the increase of average unit cost from $0.56 (RMB 3.85) per liter during the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $0.74 (RMB 5.06) per liter during the three months ended June 30, 2010 mainly attributable to the increase of international oil price, partially offset by the decrease in sales volume.

Installation Services. Cost of revenue from our installation services decreased by 11.0% or $113,971, to $ 925,145 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,039,116 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, which was in line with the sales decrease.

Auto Conversion Services. Cost of our auto conversion revenue decreased by 19.3%, or $78,306, to $326,638 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $404,944 during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The increase also reflects costs related to social security benefit for our employees commenced in the third quarter of 2009 and our continued efforts to obtain new residential and commercial, and fueling station customers. Transportation cost per million cubic meters of natural gas during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $4,915.

General and administrative expenses increased $996,512, or 108.6% from $917,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $1,913,866 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily reflecting increased $699,169 in stock option expense, $101,523 in legal fee, $59,339 in consulting fee, $40,271 in training expense and $35,436 in advertisement. The increase of $699,169 in stock option compensation was due to 380,850 stock options issued on May 5, 2010.

Income from Operations and Operating Margin

Largely impacted by the increase in procurement cost and operating expenses, income from operations decreased by $2,117,378, or 31.3%, to $4,646,674 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $6,764,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 22.0%, compared to 32.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Non-Operating Income (Expense)

Non-operating income was $887,440 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1,714,613 non-operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to the $665,115 gain associated with change in fair value of the Company’s outstanding warrants. Meanwhile, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred a $1,312,834 loss of change in fair value of warrants. In addition, the Company capitalized $1,627,034 interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 while only $1,172,547 was capitalized for the same period of 2009.

Provision for Income Tax

Income tax was $973,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,186,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Decrease of tax provision was mainly due to the lower operating income compared to the same period prior year and non-operating income of change in fair value of warrants was not subject to income tax as CHNG has incurred net operating loss for income tax purpose for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Net Income

Based on the foregoing, net income increased to $4,560,503 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $697,747, or 18.1%, from $3,862,756 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Our principal uses of cash have been, and are expected to continue to be, for operational purposes as well as for constructing our LNG plant.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $42,606,410 of cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $48,177,794 of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the construction of the LNG plant, additions of fueling stations, and market development initiatives.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10,881,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operations of $14,396,765 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The primary reason for the change was due to the lower operating income, and an increase in change in asset & liability of $596,743.

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $10,544,353 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $34,846,421 for the same period in 2010 primarily due to loans made to related and non-related parties, prepayment to equipment suppliers and construction of the LNG plant and addition of fueling stations during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company loaned $9,858,240 to a related party, or the Wang Loan, and $4,401,000 to a non-related party at an annual rate of 5.84%, or the Juntai Loan, during the first quarter of 2010. The Loans were both repaid in full in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company paid $17,140,962 to the LNG processing plant as a prepayment on equipment as well as addition to construction in progress during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $18,279,001 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by financing of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The primary reason for the change was due to $17,602,800 domestic loan.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, repayments of the loans we made to relate party and others, as well as future possible cash from financing activities, will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations.

The majority of our revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in RMB, the currency of the People's Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the USD will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on our business.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Our planned capital expenditures as of June 30, 2010 were $39 million, which we expect to be incurred in connection with the LNG facility, construction or acquisition of additional fueling stations and compressor stations, joint-venture cooperation with CNPC Kunlun and to fund the expansion into Hubei Province.

OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS

On December 30, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Abax. The Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended on January 29, 2008, pursuant to which we (i) agreed to issue 5.00% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Notes”) of approximately $20,000,000, (ii) agreed to issue to Abax Senior Notes in aggregate principal amount of approximately $20,000,000 on or before March 3, 2008 subject to our meeting certain closing conditions, (iii) granted Abax an option to purchase up to approximately $10,000,000 in principal amount of its Senior Notes and (iv) agreed to issue to Abax seven-year warrants exercisable for up to 2,900,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) at an initial exercise price equal to $7.3652 per share, subject to certain adjustments. On January 29, 2008, we issued $20,000,000 Senior Notes and 2,900,000 warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On March 3, 2008, Abax exercised its first option for an additional $20,000,000 of Senior Notes. On March 10, 2008, we issued $20,000,000 in additional Senior Notes resulting in total Senior Notes of $40,000,000.

We are required to make mandatory prepayments on the Senior Notes on certain dates and we are subject to customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions on the incurrence of liens, payment of dividends, and disposition of properties as well as obligated to maintain certain financial ratios.

Long-term loan

On February 26, 2010, JBLNG entered into a fixed assets loan contract with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Xi’an Branch (“SPDB”), pursuant to which the SPDB agreed to lend $17,676,000 to JBLNG. SPDB transferred $13,257,000 and $4,419,000 to JBLNG on March 17 and May 28, 2010, respectively. The applicable interest rate of this loan is the People’s Bank of China’s standard three to five year rate, 5.76% for the first year and subject to adjustment commencing the second year. The loan period is 58 months from the date of effectiveness of the contract, and will be repaid annually, with the last repayment no later than December 5, 2014. The loan is secured by XXNGC’s equipments and vehicles located within PRC.

Natural Gas Purchase Commitments

We have certain effective natural gas purchase agreements with our major suppliers. The natural gas purchase agreement with Shaanxi Provincial Natural Gas Co., Ltd. has been renewed annually to date and specifies a maximum amount that can be purchased but does not specify a minimum amount that must be purchased. Our natural gas purchase agreements with certain suppliers of coal-bed methane are of indefinite terms and do not contain either maximum or minimum amounts of purchase. Without minimum purchase requirements under any of our natural gas purchase agreements, we have the flexibility to constantly look for lower-cost sources of supply.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our accounts were maintained, and our consolidated financial statements were expressed in RMB. Such consolidated financial statements were translated into USD with the RMB as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity were translated at the historical rates and statement of income and cash flow items were translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income. Cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies and translated to USD at average translation rates for the period. As a result, translation adjustments amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding consolidated balances on the balance sheet.

The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2010 were translated 6.79 RMB to $1.00 as compared to 6.82 RMB at December 31, 2009. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were RMB 6.82 to $1.00.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is based on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, contained elsewhere herein. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates. There have been no material changes in the development of our accounting estimates or the assumptions underlying those estimates, or the accounting policies that we disclosed as our Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Property and Equipment

Office equipment	5 years
Operating equipment	5-20 years
Vehicles	5 years
Buildings and improvements	5-30 years

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress (“CIP”) consists of the cost of constructing property and equipment for the gas stations and a new project of processing, distribution and sale of LNG. The major cost of construction in progress relates to technology licensing fees, equipment purchases, land use rights requisition cost, capitalized interest and other construction fees. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. Interest incurred during construction is capitalized into construction in progress. All other interest is expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Ÿ Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Ÿ Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of our notes payable and derivative liabilities were modeled using a series of techniques, including closed-form analytic formula, such as the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which does not entail material subjectivity because the methodology employed does not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in “Item 1. Financial Statements” herein for a discussion of the new accounting pronouncements adopted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Natural Gas Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure continues to be the pricing applicable to our purchases and value-added reselling of CNG. Our revenues and profitability depend substantially upon the applicable prices of natural gas, which in China are regulated and fixed by central and local governments and doesn’t fluctuate much at all. Such a price involatility situation is expected to continue for operations in China. We currently don’t have any hedge positions in place to reduce our exposure to changes in natural gas whole sale and retail prices.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term fixed-interest rate debt. Fixed rate debt, where the interest rate is fixed over the life of the instrument, exposes us to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at a higher rate. All other things being equal, the fair value of our fixed rate debt will increase or decrease as interest rates change. We had long-term debt outstanding of $57,676,000 at June 30, 2010, all of which bears interest at fixed rates. The $40,000,000 fixed-rate debt is due on demand. The $17, 676,000 of flexible-rate debt is due from 2012-2014. We currently have no interest rate hedge positions in place to reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

We operate in China local currency and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses in China are also denominated in the same currency.

Our assets and liabilities of which the functional currency is the China local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected as Cumulative Translation Adjustment in the shareholders’ equity section on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of our net assets are impacted by changes in foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded a $759,004 adjustment to increase our equity account for the six month ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the net impact of the fluctuating of Chinese currency against the U.S. dollar.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Restated)

During and subsequent to the reporting period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect at the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation and after considering the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed in Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 under the heading "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Restated)," and the disclosures made in this Amended Filing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that were in effect on June 30, 2010 were not effective because the Company failed to implement policies and procedures that would have prevented the Company's:

failure to disclose a loan from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in the amount of $17.7 million (the “SPDB Loan”), the pledge made by XXNGC, the Company's variable interest entity, of its equipment and vehicles located within China to secure the SPDB Loan (the “Pledge”) and the guarantee for the repayment of the Loan by the Pledge (the “Guarantee”) as subsequent events in the notes to its consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report;

failure to disclose the SPDB Loan, the Pledge and the Guarantee in the Quarterly Report, which led to an understatement of restricted cash in the amount of $13.2 million and the understatement of bank loans in the amount of $13.2 million in the consolidated balance sheet included therein;

failure to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four days after entry into the Loan, the Pledge and the Guarantee; and

incorrect determination that the Pledge constituted a breach of the Indenture, which led the Company to erroneously (i) make the Reclassification and related amendments in the Amended 10-K and Amended 10-Q, (ii) disclose in the Amended 10-K, the Amended 10-Q and the Original Filing that the Pledge constituted a breach of the indenture and (iii) classify the Senior Notes and warrants as current liabilities instead of long term liabilities in the Original Filing; and

failure to document and communicate to the Board of Directors and all members of management the evaluation of disclosure requirements in connection with acquisitions of four natural gas stations in the second quarter of 2010 and the acquisition of Hanchun Makou Yuntong Compressed Natural Gas Co., Ltd., in the third quarter of 2010.

unauthorized entry into a related party transaction and failure to correctly disclose as a related party transaction the Wang Loan

failure to communicate to the Board of Directors of the Wang Loan and the Juntai Loan and unauthorized entry into the Loans without approval of the Board of Directors

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In response to the last two of the above identified material weaknesses and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, the Board of Directors has directed the Company to undertake the following remediation measures:

1)	Replacement of Mr. Qinan Ji as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company is currently seeking to recruit a suitable CEO;

2)	Resignation in August 2011 of certain employees involved in concealing the related party nature of the Wang Loan;

3)	Appointment of an Independent Controller reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;

Re-engagement of Ernst & Young Advisory to further improve procedures required to comply with the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure control provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and to provide training to employees regarding U.S. GAAP, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures;

Adopting a policy that restricts the signing authority of the Chairman and other executives. The policy mandates two signing parties for any obligation outside the normal scope of operations set forth in the Company’s business plan, as reviewed and approved from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors; and

6)	Engagement of Grant Thornton as U.S. GAAP consultant to the Company for purposes of preparing its quarterly and annual periodic reports.

Within the above measures, items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 have been completed.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Other than as disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to the Annual Report, filed on September 30, 2010, under the headings “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Restated)” and “– Management’s Remediation Initiatives,” and those material weaknesses and remediation measures disclosed above, there was no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2010 other than as set forth below. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our operations. The risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K may cause our actual results, performances and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or events occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

We have made errors in the preparation of certain of our historical financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective.

Because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the exchange on which we list our shares, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. The SEC has commenced an investigation into the matters surrounding the Wang Loan and the acquisition of Lingbao Yuxi Natural Gas Co., Ltd. The Company is cooperating with the investigation. In addition, the NASDAQ has halted trading in the Company’s common stock pending its request for additional information from the Company with respect to these matters and the filing of this Amended Filing and restated quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a restated annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010. The SEC may take enforcement action against the Company and the NASDAQ may seek to delist the Company’s stock. The market price of our common stock has declined and because of these events, investor perceptions of our company may suffer, and this could cause a further decline in the market price of our stock. If we are unable to remediate the material deficiencies in our internal control effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future. Any additional failures of internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and harm our reputation.

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

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. (Removed and Reserved)

Item 5. Other Information

On February 26, 2010, the Company through its subsidiary, JBLNG entered into a fixed assets loan contract with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Xi’an Branch (“SPDB”), pursuant to which SPDB agreed to lend the Company up to $17,676,000 at the annual interest rate of 5.76% (the “Loan”). The Company was entitled to borrow amounts under the loan between March 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

In addition, in connection with the Loan, XXNGC, the variable interest entity of the Company, entered into a pledge agreement with SPDB, pursuant to which XXNGC’s equipment and vehicles located within the PRC were pledged to secure the repayment of the Loan. XXNGC also entered into a guaranty with SPDB to guaranty the repayment of the Loan.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has borrowed the entire amount of the Loan and is required to make mandatory payments on the Loan on dates and in amounts as follows:

March 5, 2012	$	4,419,000
March 5, 2013	$	4,419,000
March 5, 2014	$	4,419,000
December 5, 2014	$	4,419,000

Demaoxing was formed in November 2007 by relatives of Mr. Qinan Ji, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. In January 2010, SXNGE, one of the Company’s major subsidiaries, extended a loan of US$9,858,240 to Ms. Taoxiang Wang, who obtained a 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing on January 21, 2010. Ms. Taoxiang Wang used her 40% ownership interest in Demaoxing and its assets as collateral for the Wang Loan. On January 26, 2010, the Wang Loan funds were remitted by SXNGE to an account of Demaoxing. Management of the Company believed that the Wang Loan was adequately secured by collateral. On January 21, 2010, the Demaoxing Promoters also transferred 30% of their ownership interests in DeMaoxing to Shaanxi Rongxin Real Estate Co., Ltd.. The Board of Directors has determined that the Demaoxing Promoters retained indirect beneficial interests in Demaoxing after transferring their ownership interests and thus the Wang Loan was a related party transaction. In April 2010, Demaoxing repaid the principal of the Wang Loan and made an interest payment of US$140,722, settling the Wang Loan in full.
