Note 1 – Nature of business and organization
SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical Industries, Inc. (“SinoCoking” or the “Company”) was organized on September 30, 1996, under the laws of the State of Florida as “J.B. Financial Services, Inc.” On July 19, 1999, the Company changed its name to “Ableauctions.com, Inc.” On February 5, 2010, in connection with a share exchange transaction as described below, the Company changed its name to “SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical Industries, Inc.”
On February 5, 2010, the Company completed a share exchange transaction with Top Favour Limited (“Top Favour (BVI)”), and Top Favour (BVI) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the closing of the share exchange transaction, all of the assets and liabilities of Ableauction.com, Inc.’s former business had been transferred to a liquidating trust, including the capital stock of its former subsidiaries. After the share exchange transaction, Top Favour (BVI)’s shareholders owned approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding shares. The management members of Top Favour (BVI) became the directors and officers of the Company. The share exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization and as a result, the consolidated financial statements of the Company (the legal acquirer) is, in substance, those of Top Favour (BVI) (the accounting acquirer), with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of the share exchange transaction. As the share exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, there was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction. The historical financial statements for periods prior to February 5, 2010 are those of Top Favour (BVI) except that the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition (Note 3).
Top Favour (BVI) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 2, 2008. Top Favour (BVI) owns 100% of Pingdingshan Hongyuan Energy Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Hongyuan”), which was formed on March 18, 2009, with registered capital of $3,000,000 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Through contractual arrangements (Note 2), Hongyuan controls Henan Pingdingshan Hongli Coal & Coking Co., Ltd., (“Hongli”), a PRC company formed on June 5, 1996 with registered capital of $1,055,248 or 8,080,000 Renminbi (“RMB”). As of March 31, 2011, Hongli had a branch, Baofeng Coking Factory (“Baofeng Coking”), as well as two subsidiaries and a company under its control as follows:
|
·
|
Baofeng Hongchang Coal, Ltd. (“Hongchang Coal”), a PRC company formed on July 19, 2007 with registered capital of $396,000 (RMB 3,000,000) and wholly-owned by Hongli;
|
|
·
|
Baofeng Hongguang Power Co., Ltd. (“Hongguang Power”), a PRC company formed on August 1, 2006 with registered capital of $2,756,600 (RMB 22,000,000) and wholly-owned by Hongli; and

The Company’s business operations consist of producing and selling coke products, coking by-products, coal products, and coal gas-generated electricity in the PRC. Presently, coking related activities are carried out by Baofeng Coking, coal related activities by Hongchang Coal, and electricity generation by Hongguang Power. However, it is the Company’s intention to transfer all coal related activities to a joint-venture between Zhonghong and Henan Province Coal Seam Gas Development and Utilization Co., Ltd., (Note 27). As of March 31, 2011, the transfer of the Company’s coal related activities to the joint-venture had not been carried out.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
Management has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2010 annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries – Top Favour (BVI) and Hongyuan, and its variable interest entities (“VIEs”) – Hongli and its subsidiaries, and Zhonghong. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) accounting standard for consolidation of variable interest entities, 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. As a result of the contractual arrangements described below, the Company, through Hongyuan, is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Hongli’s activities and the Company is enabled to receive a majority of Hongli’s expected residual returns. The Company accounts for Hongli as a VIE and is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
ASC 810 addresses whether certain types of entities referred to as VIEs, should be consolidated in a company’s consolidated financial statements. The contractual arrangements entered into between Hongyuan and Hongli are comprised of the following series of agreements:
|
(1)
|
a Consulting Services Agreement, through which Hongyuan has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Hongli and its subsidiaries (the “Operating Companies”), collect, and own all of the respective net profits of the Operating Companies;
|
|
(2)
|
an Operating Agreement, through which Hongyuan has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of the Operating Companies, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of the Operating Companies, and guarantee the contractual performance by the Operating Companies of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by the Operating Companies of their respective accounts receivable and assets;
|
SINOCOKING COAL AND COKE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|
(3)
|
a Proxy Agreement, under which the shareholders of the Operating Companies have vested their voting control over the Operating Companies to Hongyuan and will only transfer their equity interests in the Operating Companies to Hongyuan or its designee(s);
|
|
(4)
|
an Option Agreement, under which the shareholders of the Operating Companies have granted Hongyuan the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of its equity interests in the Operating Companies, or, alternatively, all of the assets of the Operating Companies; and
|
|
(5)
|
an Equity Pledge Agreement, under which the shareholders of the Operating Companies have pledged all of their rights, title and interest in the Operating Companies to Hongyuan to guarantee the Operating Companies’ performance of their respective obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement.
|
Since Top Favour (BVI), Hongyuan and Hongli are under common control, the above corporate structure including the above contractual arrangements have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities and the consolidation of Top Favour (BVI), Hongyuan and Hongli has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the contractual arrangements had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to coal reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depletion calculations; asset impairments; valuation allowances for deferred income taxes; reserves for contingencies; and the fair value and accounting treatment of certain financial instruments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. In addition, different assumptions or conditions could reasonably be expected to yield different results.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records share-based compensation expense based upon the grant date fair value of share-based awards. The value of the award is principally recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life and interest rates to determine fair value. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the simplified method of the terms of the options. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Stock compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, when actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. There were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options.

Revenue recognition
Coal and coke sales are recognized at the date of shipment 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. This generally occurs when coal and coke is loaded onto trains or trucks at one of the Company’s loading facilities or at third party facilities.
Most, if not all, of the electricity generated by Hongguang Power is typically used internally by Baofeng Coking. Supply of surplus electricity generated by Hongguang Power to the national power grid is mandated by the local utilities board. The value of the surplus electricity supplied, if it exists, is calculated based on actual kilowatt-hours produced and transmitted and at a fixed rate determined under contract.
Coal and coke sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT), sales discounts and actual returns at the time when product is sold to the customer.
Shipping and handling costs
Shipping and handling costs related to goods sold are included in selling expense. Total shipping and handling costs amounted to $0 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, and amounted to $5,595 and $20,921 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.
Foreign currency translation and other comprehensive income
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Company and Top Favour (BVI) is the US dollar, while the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary and VIEs in the PRC is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). However, since the Company’s primary operations are conducted by its subsidiary and VIEs in the PRC and the Company’s primary assets are located in the PRC, the Company’s functional currency is denominated in RMB.
For the subsidiary and VIEs whose functional currencies are other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the statement of operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Items in the cash flow statement are also translated at average translation rates for the period, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting 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. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the transaction gains and losses were not significant.
The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of equity, at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were translated at RMB 6.56 to $1 and RMB 6.79 to $1, respectively. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were at RMB 6.58 to $1 and RMB 6.82 to $1, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were at RMB 6.67 to $1 and RMB 6.82 to $1, respectively

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company uses the FASB's accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements. Those accounting standards established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for receivables, payables and short term loans qualify as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
Level 3
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
|
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011:

Due to the short trading history of the Company’s stock, the expected volatility is based primarily on other similar public companies’ historical volatilities, which are traded on United States stock markets. 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 the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company currently 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.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no impairment charges.
The Company did not identify any other assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents for cash flow statement purposes. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state owned banks within the PRC and with banks in Hong Kong and in the United States of America.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represent amounts set aside by the Company in accordance with the Company’s debt agreements with certain financial institutions in the PRC. These cash amounts are designated for the purpose of paying down the principal amounts owed to the financial institutions, and these amounts are held at the same financial institutions with which the Company has debt agreements. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s debt obligations to these banks, the corresponding restricted cash balances have been classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts receivables, trade, net
During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Management regularly reviews aging of receivables and changes in payment trends by its customers, and records a reserve when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off. The Company regularly reviews the credit worthiness of its customers and, based on the results of the credit review, determines whether extended payment terms can be granted to or, in some cases, partial prepayment is required from certain customers.
Other receivables
Other receivables mainly include advances to employees for general business purpose and other short term non-traded receivable from unrelated parties, primarily as unsecured demand loans, with no state interest rate or due date. Management regularly reviews aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records a reserve when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the weighted average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, work in process, and finished goods. Raw materials mainly consist of coal (mined and purchased), rail, steel, wood and additives used by the Company. The cost of finished goods includes (1) direct costs of raw materials, (2) direct labor, (3) indirect production costs, such as allocable utilities cost, and (4) indirect labor related to the production activities, such as assembling and packaging. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or market, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, management believed that no allowance for inventory valuation was deemed necessary.
Advances to suppliers
The Company advances monies to certain suppliers for raw material purchases and in connection with construction contracts. These advances are interest-free and unsecured.
Plant and equipment, net
Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; while additions, renewals and betterments that extend the useful life are capitalized. When items of plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Mine development costs are capitalized and amortized by the units of production method over estimated total recoverable proven and probable reserves. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
|

Construction-in-progress (“CIP”) includes direct costs of construction of mining tunnel improvements. Interest incurred during the period of construction, if material, is capitalized. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, $74,974 and $215,094 in interest was capitalized into CIP, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, no interest was capitalized into CIP. All other interest is expensed as incurred. CIP is not depreciated until such time the assets are completed and put into service. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Major additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized.
Land use rights, net
Costs to obtain land use rights are recorded based on the fair value at acquisition and amortized over 36 years, the contractual period of the rights. Under the accounting standard regarding treatment of goodwill and other intangible assets, all goodwill and certain intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets other than goodwill will be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed at least quarterly for impairment.

Intangible - mineral rights, net
Mineral rights are capitalized at fair value when acquired, including amounts associated with any value beyond proven and probable reserves, and amortized to operations as depletion expense using the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and probable recoverable tones. The Company’s coal reserves are controlled through direct ownership which generally lasts until the recoverable reserves are depleted.
Impairment of long - lived assets
The Company evaluates long lived tangible and intangible assets for impairment, at least annually, but more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows, in accordance with the accounting guidance regarding “Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Recoverability is measured by comparing the asset’s net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, there was no impairment of long lived assets.
Long-term investment
Investments in equity securities of privately-held companies in which the Company holds less than 20% voting interest and to which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method.
In February 2011, the Company invested approximately $1.2 million (RMB 8,000,000) in Pingdingshan Xinhua District Rural Credit Union (“Xinhua District Credit Union”), which operates in the banking industry. This investment represents an approximately 2.86% interest in Xinhua District Credit Union, and is accounted for under the cost method.
The Company evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable. For investments carried at cost, the Company recognizes impairment in the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds the Company’s proportionate share of the net book value of the investee. As of March 31, 2011, management believes no impairment charge is necessary.
Asset retirement cost and obligations
The Company adopted the accounting standard to account for the asset retirement cost and obligations to retire tangible long-lived assets. This standard generally requires that the Company’s legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized at fair value at the time the obligations are incurred. Obligations are incurred at the time development of a mine commences for underground mines or construction begins for support facilities, refuse areas and slurry ponds. If an entity has a conditional asset retirement obligation, a liability should be recognized when the fair value of the obligations can be reasonably estimated.
The obligation’s fair value is determined using discounted cash flow techniques and is accreted over time to its expected settlement value. Upon initial recognition of a liability, a corresponding amount is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Amortization of the related asset is calculated on a unit-of-production method by amortizing the total estimated cost over the salable reserves as determined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7, multiplied by the production during the period.
Asset retirement costs generally include the cost of reclamation (the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities) and environmental remediation (the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused).
In May 2009, Henan Bureau of Finance and Bureau of Land and Resource issued regulations for mine environment control and recovery (the “Mine Recovery Regulations”) which require mining companies to file an evaluation report regarding the environmental impacts of mining (the “Evaluation Report”) before December 31, 2010. The corresponding authorities will determine whether to approve the Evaluation Report after performing on-site investigation, and the asset retirement obligation will be determined by the authorities based on the approved filing. Such requirement was extended along with the extension of the provincial mine consolidation schedule. However, such extension date has not been finalized by the related provincial authorities.

The Company did not record such asset retirement obligation as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 because the Company did not have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of such obligation. The range of time over which the Company may settle the obligation is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. In addition, the settlement method for the obligation cannot be reasonably determined. The amount of the obligation to be determined by the government authorities is affected by several factors, such as the extend of remediation required in and around the mining area, the methods to be used to remediate the mining site, and any government grants which may or may not be credited to the mining companies.
The Company will recognize the liability in the period in which sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate its fair value.
Income taxes
Income taxes provided on the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
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 period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
Chinese income taxes
The Company’s subsidiary and VIEs that operate in the PRC are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and various local income tax laws (the “Income Tax Laws”), and are generally subject to an income tax at a statutory rate of 25% of taxable income, which is based on the net income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustment.
Value added tax (“VAT”)
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s coal and coke are sold in the PRC and are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing finished products. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the consolidated financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed to offset the payables against the receivables.

Warrant derivative liability
A contract is designated as an asset or a liability and is carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. The Company then determines which options, warrants and embedded features require liability accounting and records the fair value as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of these instruments are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income as “change in fair value of warrants”.
Due to the reverse merger on February 5, 2010 (Note 3), the Company adopted the provisions of an accounting standard regarding instruments that are indexed to an entity’s own stock. This accounting standard 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. It 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 scope exception within the standards. As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, all warrants issued after the February 5, 2010 reverse acquisition are recorded as derivative liability because the strike price of such warrants is denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency which is denominated in RMB.
All warrants issued before February 5, 2010, which were treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption prior to February 5, 2010, are also no longer afforded equity treatment because the strike price of such warrants is denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency which is denominated in RMB. Therefore, such 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 such warrants are exercised or expire. The Company has reclassified the fair value of such warrants of $631,002 from equity to liability status as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability at February 5, 2010.
Earnings per share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB’s related accounting standard. This standard requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, option and warrants were 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.

Comprehensive income
FASB’s accounting standard regarding comprehensive income establishes requirements for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. This accounting standard defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, it also requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company's only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustments.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of such principal owners and management, and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amends “Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company expanded its disclosures related to its receivables.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-28 which amend “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350). The ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting entities, they are required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. An entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance in Topic 350, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual testes if an event occurs or circumstances changes that would more likely than not reduce the faire value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29 which address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations (Topic 805). This ASU specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expected the adoption of this ASU will have an impact on its future business combinations.

Note 16 – Notes payable
Notes payable represents arrangements with certain banks to allow the issuance of notes in connection with purchases. When making a purchase, a short-term note can be issued to the vendor pursuant to such arrangements. Such short-term note is guaranteed by the bank under which arrangement it is issued from for its complete face value through a letter of credit and matures within three to six months of issuance.
Under the Company’s arrangement with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (“SPDB”), the Company is required to deposit 50% of the notes payable balance at SPDB as a guarantee deposit, which is classified on the balance sheet as restricted cash. In addition, the notes payables are guaranteed either by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Hongli or an unrelated party. SPDB subjects the Company to a diligence review for each note issued, and also charges a processing fee based on 0.05% of the face value of the note.
Under the Company’s arrangement with Pingdingshan Rural Cooperative Bank (“Pingdingshan Cooperative”), the Company has a line of credit of $30.3 million. While Pingdingshan Cooperative also requires a guarantee deposit and a guarantee, and charges a processing fee, the Company is not subject to diligence review for each note issued so long as the aggregated amount of notes issued are within the credit limit.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company paid off all short-term notes payable issued through SPDB and Pingdingshan Cooperative due to their maturity, in the aggregate amount of $19,825,000 (RMB 130,000,000), and these banks released deposits in the aggregate amount of $10,675,000 (RMB 70,000,000) in connection with such payments.
On January 31, 2011, the Company deposited $2,287,500 (RMB 15,000,000) with Pingdingshan City Rural Credit Union as guarantee deposit to enable Hongguang Power to issue notes payable. As of March 31, 2011, no agreement had been entered into with the bank, and no notes payable issued in connection therewith.
As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, notes payable amounted to $0 and $2,946,000, respectively, and the related restricted cash were $2,287,500 and $5,892,000, respectively.

The PRC does not allow consolidation or group filing for corporate income tax purposes. Income and losses from members of the same consolidated group (for financial reporting purposes) are not allowed to offset one another. Therefore, total taxable income (loss) subject to actual PRC corporate tax within the consolidated group does not necessarily equal to the consolidated net income before income tax of the consolidated group. The PRC tax administration system does not necessarily retroactively recognize or allow accounting adjustments that are discovered and posted after the income tax returns are filed as additional taxable income or deductions for the tax year to which such post-filing accounting adjustments relate. The Company considers any US GAAP adjustments to its financial statements made after the statutory tax returns are filed to be permanent differences for the purpose of reconciling differences of income tax provision and actual PRC income tax liabilities.
SinoCoking is subject to the United States federal income tax provisions. Top Favour (BVI) is a tax-exempt company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. All of the Company’s businesses are conducted by its PRC subsidiary and VIEs, namely Hongyuan, Hongli, Baofeng Coking, Hongchang Coal, Hongguang Power and Zhonghong.
Hongyuan, Hongli, Baofeng Coking, Hongguang Power and Zhonghong are subject to 25% enterprise income tax rate in China.
As approved by the local tax bureau, Hongchang Coal’s total income tax obligation for the 12-months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is approximately $384,000 (RMB 2,520,000) each such calendar year, regardless of its actual taxable income during such period.
The estimated tax savings due to the foregoing reduced tax rate amounted to $506,070 and $487,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. If the statutory income tax had been applied, the Company would have decreased basic and diluted earnings per share from $0.81 to $0.79 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, and decreased basic and diluted earnings per share from $(2.39) to $(2.42) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The estimated tax savings due to the foregoing reduced tax rate amounted to $1,068,736 and $793,182 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. If the statutory income tax had been applied, the Company would have decreased basic and diluted earnings per share from $1.22 and $1.17 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, and decreased basic and diluted earnings per share from $(1.82) to $(1.87) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

The (15.5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 mainly represents gain on change in fair value of warrants of $12,191,235 incurred by SinoCoking, which did not bring tax expense to the Company. The (9.4)% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 mainly represents gain on change in fair value of warrants of $13,663,378 incurred by SinoCoking, which was not subject to income tax, and partially offset by the operating losses incurred by Hongguang and Hongchang. The (27.2)% and (41.0)% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, represents change in fair value of warrants of $39,869,662 incurred by SinoCoking related to equity financing on February 5, 2010 and March 11, 2010, which did not bring tax benefit to the Company.

SinoCoking is incorporated in the U.S. and has incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the estimated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes was approximately $1,051,215, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carryforwards have begun expiring in 2010 and will continue through 2030 if not utilized. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appears to be uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at March 31, 2011. The valuation allowance at March 31, 2011 was approximately $357,413. The Company’s management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as necessary.
The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $29.3 million as of March 31, 2011, which was included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be reinvested in its operations in China. 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
The Company incurred VAT on sales and VAT on purchases in the PRC amounting to $4,038,852 and $3,389,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $3,069,769 and $2,043,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.

Warrants
In connection with the equity financing disclosed in Note 20, the Company issued warrants exercisable into 3,906,643 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company had existing warrants exercisable into 36,973 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Existing warrants”) outstanding on February 5, 2010.
On July 1, 2010, the Company granted callable warrants underlying 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to exchange for consulting service. These warrants expire on July 1, 2015 with exercise price of $20.00, and such exercise price was changed to $15.00 in March 2011. The fair value of these warrants was $325,285, and was charged to general and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
On November 12, 2010, warrants underlying 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at $6.00 per share. The fair value of these warrants on the exercise date was $6,438. In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, 218,756 warrants underlying 218,756 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at $6.00 per share. The fair value of these warrants on the exercise date was $2,050,060.
The Company adopted the provisions of an accounting standard regarding instrument that are Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. This accounting standard 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. It 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 scope exception within the standards.
As a result, the Existing warrants, which were previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption, are no longer afforded equity treatment because the strike price of such warrants is denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency RMB. Therefore such warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of such warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as such warrants are exercised or expire. The Company reclassified the fair value of such warrants of $631,002 from equity to liability status as if such warrants were treated as a derivative liability at February 5, 2010.

Note 25 – Statutory reserves
The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, after the statutory reserves. The statutory reserves include the statutory surplus reserve fund and the enterprise expansion fund.
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC Company Law, to the statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. The transfer must be made before distribution of any dividends to shareholders. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
The enterprise fund may be used to acquire plant and equipment or to increase the working capital to expend on production and operation of the business. No minimum contribution is required
As of March 31, 2011, the statutory surplus reserves of both Hongli and Hongchang Coal had reached 50% of each entity’s registered capital, Hongguang Power did not make any contribution to the statutory reserve due to its net operating loss. Zhonghong did not make any contribution to the statutory reserves as it had no operations as of March 31, 2011.
Hongchang Coal is required by the PRC government to reserve safety and maintenance expense to the cost of production based on the actual quantity of coal exploited. The amount of reserves is determined within the unit price range provided by Ministry of Finance of PRC. Currently, Hongchang Coal reserves at RMB 6 per metric ton for safety expense and RMB 8.5 per metric ton for maintenance expense.
The component of statutory reserves and the future contributions required pursuant to PRC Company Law are as follows as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010:
