EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment
No. 1 (the “Amendment No. 1”) amends and restates the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Andatee China Marine Fuel
Services Corporation (the “Company”), for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2012 (the “Original Filing”). Amendment
No. 1 is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting certain clerical and typographical errors appearing on pages 19 and
22 (none of which change the substance of the financial statements and notes thereto) and of furnishing Exhibit 101 to the
Original Filing in accordance with Rule 405 of Regulation S-T. Exhibit 101 to this report provides the consolidated financial
statements and related notes from the Form 10-Q formatted in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language).
The Amendment No. 1
amends and restates the Original Filing in its entirety and, with the exception of the foregoing changes, continues to describe
conditions as of the Original Filing, and does not purport to update or modify disclosures contained therein to reflect events
that occurred following the filing date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 Report should be read in conjunction
with our public filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.
We have also included
an updated signature page and currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2
to this Amendment No. 1.

Description of Business, Organization, VIE and Basis of Consolidation and Combination
|
Andatee China
Marine Fuel Services Corporation (“Andatee” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on July 10, 2009. Upon incorporation, the Company had authorized 50,000,000 common stock shares, par value $0.001per share. On
October 16, 2009 the Company issued 8,000,000 shares in the share exchange with Goodwill Rich International Limited ("Goodwill
Rich"), as described below. On October 19, 2009, the Company affected a 1.33334:1 reverse share split. As a result of the
split, the number of common stock issued and outstanding has decreased from 8,000,000 to 6,000,000 shares.
The Company was
organized as a holding company to acquire Goodwill Rich, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, and its subsidiary in connection
with a contemplated initial public offering of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Goodwill Rich was incorporated
on October 28, 2008.
Andatee became
the owner of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Goodwill Rich and its subsidiary as the result of a share exchange arrangement
consummated on October 16, 2009. The stockholders of Andatee and the stockholders of Goodwill Rich were the same, and therefore
the August 2009 share exchange was accounting for as a recapitalization of Goodwill Rich. As a result, Goodwill is deemed to be
the predecessor of Andatee for financial reporting purposes.
In March 2009,
Goodwill Rich established a subsidiary company in Dalian, People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), named Dalian
Fusheng Consulting Company (“Fusheng”), which afterward was changed to “Dalian Fusheng Petrochemical Company”
in March 2010.
Dalian Xingyuan
Marine Bunker Co., Ltd. (“Xingyuan”) was established in September 2001 with a registered capital of RMB7 million and
began providing refueling services to the marine vessels in Dalian Port in Dalian City. Xingyuan holds 100% ownership of Donggang
Xingyuan Marine Fuel Company (“Donggang Xingyuan”), a company incorporated in Dalian, PRC, in April, 2008. In addition,
in December 2008, Xingyuan acquired 90% ownership of Rongcheng Xinfa Petroleum Company (“Xinfa”) and 63% ownership
of Xiangshan Yongshi Nanlian Petroleum Company (“Nanlian”), respectively.
On March 26, 2009,
Fusheng, Xingyuan and the stockholders of Xingyuan entered into a series of agreements, as described below (the Consulting Services
Agreement, the Operating Agreement, the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Option Agreement and the Proxy and Voting Agreement - collectively
"the Agreements"). Under the agreements, as further described below, Goodwill Rich obtained the ability to direct the
operations of Xingyuan and its subsidiaries and to obtain the economic benefit of their operations. Therefore, management determined
that Xingyuan became a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 (originally issued as FASB Interpretation
(“FIN”) No. 46(R) “Consolidated Variable Interest Entities - an interpretation of ARB No. 51”), and the
Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Xingyuan and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated
the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of Xingyuan and its subsidiaries its financial statements. The Agreements
were entered into to facilitate the raising of capital for the operations of Xingyuan through an offering of the Company’s
common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and Goodwill Rich paid no consideration to Xingyuan or its stockholders for entering
into the agreements under which Xingyuan became a VIE, provided, however, that Mr. An Fengbin, the principle stockholder of Xingyuan
became the chairman and CEO of the Company, and Mr. An Fengbin and the other stockholders of Xingyuan have certain rights or options
to acquire the 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the share exchange between the Company and Goodwill
Rich at later dates when permitted by PRC laws and regulations. Mr. An Fengbin remains the principle stockholder of Xingyuan after
the completion of the share exchange between Goodwill Rich and Andatee described above.
Upon the October
28, 2008 incorporation of Goodwill Rich, Goodwill Rich and the stockholders of Xingyuan entered into a series of separate agreements
under which Goodwill Rich and Xingyuan were deemed, until March 2009, to be under the common control of the stockholders of Xingyuan.
The Agreements provided that the majority stockholder of Goodwill Rich appointed Mr. An Fengbin to (i) act as a director of Xingyuan,
Xingyuan’s majority stockholder, and Fusheng, (ii) act for the majority stockholder of Goodwill Rich at any meetings of the
directors, managers, financial controllers or other senior management of Xingyuan, Xingyuan’s majority stockholder, and Fusheng,
(iii) exercise all voting and dispositive rights over the common stock of Xingyuan, Xingyuan’s majority stockholder, and
Fusheng. The Agreements further provided that the majority stockholder of Xingyuan would not appoint any additional directors to
the boards of any of these entities without Mr. An Fengbin’s approval. As a result, Mr. An Fengbin was deemed to control
both Goodwill Rich and Fusheng, and those companies and Xingyuan were deemed to be under common control.
All of the transactions
among Andatee, Goodwill Rich, Fusheng and Xingyuan were deemed to be transactions between companies under common control, and therefore
the bases of the assets and liabilities in each of the companies were not adjusted in any of the transactions.
The Company, its
subsidiaries, its VIE and its VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) are principally engaged in the production,
storage, distribution and trading of blended marine fuel oil for cargo and fishing vessels in the PRC.
Consulting
Services Agreement
. Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreement between Fusheng and Xingyuan, Fusheng has the exclusive
right to provide to Xingyuan business consulting and related services in connection with the production and sale of marine bunker
(the “Services”). Under this agreement, Fusheng owns the intellectual property rights arising from the performance
of the Services, including, but not limited to, any trade secrets, copyrights, patents, know-how, un-patented methods and processes
and otherwise, whether developed by Fusheng or Xingyuan based on Fusheng’s provision of Services under the agreement. Xingyuan
pays 50% of its total net profit to Fusheng on a quarterly basis as consulting service fee. The consulting services agreement is
in effect for a term of 10 years starting from March 26, 2009 unless terminated by (a) Xingyuan upon six-months prior written notice
and payment to Fusheng of (i) RMB2,000,000 ($313,062 at September 30, 2011) as liquidated damages and (ii) all of Fusheng’s
losses resulting from such early termination; (b) Fusheng upon Xingyuan’s breach of the agreement; or (c) Fusheng at any
time upon thirty-days written notice to Xingyuan. This agreement may be renewed at Fusheng’s sole discretion.
Operating Agreement
.
Pursuant to the operating agreement among Fusheng, Xingyuan and the stockholders of Xingyuan who collectively hold all of the outstanding
shares of Xingyuan (collectively “Xingyuan Stockholders”), Fusheng provides guidance and instructions on Xingyuan’s
daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The stockholders of Xingyuan must appoint the candidates recommended
by Fusheng to Xingyuan’s board of directors. Fusheng has the right to appoint personnel to high level managerial positions
of Xingyuan, including General Manager and Chief Financial Officer. In addition, Fusheng agrees to guarantee Xingyuan’s performance
under any agreements, contracts or transactions executed by Xingyuan relating to Xingyuan’s business. Xingyuan, in return,
agrees to pay Fusheng a quarterly fee equal to 50% of Xingyuan’s total net profits for such quarter. Moreover, Xingyuan agrees
that without the prior consent of Fusheng, Xingyuan will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect the assets,
obligations, rights or the business of Xingyuan, including, without limitation, (a) borrowing money from a third party or assuming
any debt, (b) selling to a third party or acquiring from a third party any assets or rights, including without limitation, any
plant, equipment, real or personal property, or any intellectual property rights, (c) providing any guaranty for any third party
obligations, (d) assigning to a third party any agreements related to Xingyuan’s business, (e) engaging in any other business
consulting agreements with a third party or engaging in any other business activities other than the business of producing and
selling marine bunker, and (f) pledging any of Xingyuan’s assets or intellectual property rights to a third party as a security
interest. The term of this agreement is 10 years from March 26, 2009 and will be automatically renewed for additional 10 year period
upon the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, unless previously terminated. Fusheng may terminate the agreement
at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to Xingyuan and the Xingyuan Stockholders.
Equity Pledge
Agreement
. Under the equity pledge agreement between Xingyuan, the Xingyuan Stockholders and Fusheng, the Xingyuan Stockholders
pledged all of their equity interests in Xingyuan to Fusheng to guarantee Xingyuan’s performance of its obligations under
the following agreements entered into by Fusheng and Xingyuan: (a) the Exclusive Consulting Agreement dated March 26, 2009, (b)
the Operating Agreement dated March 26, 2009 and (c) any other agreements to be entered into by and between Fusheng and Xingyuan
from time to time with respect to Fusheng’s provision of services to Xingyuan and Fusheng’s collection of appropriate
charges from Xingyuan (collectively, (a), (b) and (c) are the “Service Agreements”). If Xingyuan or Xingyuan’s
Stockholders breach its respective contractual obligations, Fusheng, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including
but not limited to the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The stockholders of Xingyuan agreed that without Fusheng’s
prior written consent, they will not transfer any equity interest, create or permit to exist any pledge that may damage Fusheng’s
rights or interests in the pledged equity interests, or cause Xingyuan’s meeting of stockholders or board of directors to
pass any resolutions about the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposal of the lawful right to derive income from any equity interest
in Xingyuan or about the permission of the creation of any other security interests thereon. The term of this agreement is the
same as the longest of the Service Agreements. If the term of any Service Agreement is renewed, the term of this agreement will
extend accordingly.
Option Agreement
.
Under the option agreement between Xingyuan, the Xingyuan Stockholders and Fusheng, the Xingyuan Stockholders irrevocably, unconditionally
and exclusively granted Fusheng a purchase option (the “Purchase Option”) whereby, to the extent permitted under Chinese
law, Fusheng has the right to request the Xingyuan Stockholders transfer, to it or its designated entity or person, the total equity
interests held by them in the registered capital of Xingyuan, which as a group equals 100% of the outstanding equity of Xingyuan.
Fusheng has sole discretion to decide the specific time, method and number of the exercise of the Purchase Option. At the time
of each exercise of the Purchase Option by Fusheng, the total consideration to be paid to Xingyuan Stockholders by Fusheng or its
designated entity or person shall be determined from one of following two prices i) RMB 10.00; or ii) the lowest price permitted
under PRC laws. This agreement will terminate after 100% of the outstanding equity of Xingyuan has been duly transferred to Fusheng
and/or Fusheng’s designee(s).
Proxy and Voting
Agreements
. Pursuant to the proxy and voting agreements between Fusheng, Xingyuan, and each of Xingyuan’s Stockholders,

corporate reorganization, in which Xingyuan transferred its 90% ownership in Xinfa and 52% ownership in Mashan to Dalian Xifa Petrol
Company, and transferred its 100% ownership in Donggang Xingyuan to Fusheng. The reorganization was accounted for at book value,
as they were transactions between entities under common control.

2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of
presentation
The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements of Andatee have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles
of Consolidation
The condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and those variable interest
entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Period Presentation
The condensed, consolidated financial statements
and related notes are unaudited. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary to present a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in
these condensed, consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The functional
currency of the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong is the US dollars while the local currencies of the Company’s subsidiary,
VIE and its subsidiaries in China is the Renminbi (“RMB”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the China entities
are translated into US dollars at the spot rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated
using monthly average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation
to reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of changes in shareholders’
equity for the periods presented.
Foreign currency
transactions are translated at the spot rates on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains
and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Financial
Instruments
Financial instruments
consist of cash, cash equivalents, notes receivable, loans and notes payable. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding
the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may
be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies
to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies
to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such
as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets
with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs
are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies
to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement
of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s
financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable,
short term loans, bank notes payable and accrued liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined
based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values
of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates
or durations.
Treasury
Stock
Treasury stock
is accounted for under the cost method and is included as a component of stockholders’ equity.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand and cash on deposit, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities
of three months or less when acquired.
Restricted
Cash
Restricted cash
consists of cash equivalents used as collateral to secure short-term bank notes payable.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable
are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
When evaluating
the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company reviews the collectability of accounts receivable, historical
write-offs, and changes in sales policies, customer credibility and general economic tendency.
Settlement
Receivable
Settlement receivable represents the fuel inventory and cash amounts recoverable pursuant to a settlement
agreement. See Note 16
Inventories
Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost and current market value. Costs include the cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor and related
production overhead. Inventories are stated at cost upon acquisition.
The cost of inventories
is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories
is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories.
Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs to completion and the estimated
expenses and related taxes to make the sale.
Reusable materials
include low-value consumables and other materials, which can be in use for more than one year but do not meet the definition of
fixed assets. Reusable materials are amortized in half when received for use and in another half when cease to work for any purpose.
The amounts of the amortization are included in the cost of the related assets or profit or loss.
Concentration
of Risks
All of the Group’s
sales and a majority of its expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Group’s assets and
liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange
transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s
Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in China must be processed through the
PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
As of June 30,
2012, all of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in the PRC where there currently is no rule or regulation
requiring such financial institutions to maintain insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2012, two customers accounted for 28.2% and 8.5% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. There were
two customers that accounted for 13% and 11.5% of the total revenues for the same period ended June 30, 2011.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2012, 7.23% and 5.9% of the Company’s raw materials came from two suppliers. The advance payments to these
two suppliers at June 30, 2012 were $141,627 and $78,182, respectively. The total balance of advances to suppliers at June 30,
2012 was $11,210,402 which was non-interest bearing and unsecured.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2011, 32.9% and 10.2% of the Company’s raw materials came from two suppliers. The advance payments to these
two suppliers at June 30, 2011 were $39,268 and $917,417, respectively. The total balance of advances to suppliers at June 30,
2011 was $11,363,064, which was non-interest bearing and unsecured.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property, plant
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which are not considered
improvements and do not extend the useful life of the asset, are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations in other income and expenses.
Depreciation is
provided to recognize the cost of the asset in the results of operations. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line
method with estimated useful life as follows:

Construction-in-Progress
Construction-in-progress
represents property and buildings under construction and consists of construction expenditures, equipment procurement, and other
direct costs attributable to the construction. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated. Upon completion and ready for intended
use, construction-in-progress is reclassified to the appropriate category within property, plant and equipment.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance
with FASB ASC Topic 360 (originally Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”), certain assets such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased
intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount
by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or changes in circumstances
that necessitated a review of impairment of long lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six month period
ended June 30, 2012.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions. The Company performs its
impairment test annually. The Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2011
and the six months period ended June 30, 2012.
Intangible

Intangible assets
consist mainly of land use rights and software.

Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
Noncontrolling
interest represents a portion of the equity ownership in consolidated subsidiaries and share of those subsidiary operations that
are not attributable to the Company. Specifically, noncontrolling interests consist of (i) a 37% equity interest in Nanlian, (ii)
a 10% equity interest in Xinfa, (iii) a 39% equity interest in Suzhou Fusheng, (iv) a 10% equity interest in Xinlang, (v) a 48%
equity interest in Mashan, and (vi) a 48% equity interest in Hailong not held by Andatee.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenues in accordance with the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) No. 104. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the selling price is
fixed or determinable, when delivery occurs and when collection is probable.
Delivery is typically
conveyed via pipeline or tanker and sales revenues are recognized when customers take possession of goods in accordance with the
terms of purchase order agreements that evidence agreed upon pricing and when collectability is reasonably assured.
As an industry
wide practice, the Company requires advances from customers for substantially all sales. Such advances are not recognized as revenues
when received as they represent down payments from customers for the marine fuel products and the delivery is not yet completed.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company measures
share-based compensation at fair value, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.
The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock unit is calculated based on the fair market value of the Company’s
stock on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option
pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective
variables.
Environmental
Expenditures
Environmental
expenditures that relate to current ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed as incurred.
Research
and Development Costs
Research and development
costs are recognized in the income statement when incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company provides
for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 (originally SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”) which
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 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.
In the normal course of business, the Company
may be subject to challenges from taxing authorities regarding the amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing
or amount of taxable income or deductions. Management determines whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not
of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position.
The Company records
a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually
evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
Defined
Contribution Plan
Pursuant to the
relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company participates in various defined contribution retirement plans organized by
the respective divisions in municipal and provincial governments for its employees. The Company is required to make contributions
to the retirement plans in accordance with the specific contribution rates and basis as defined by the municipal and provincial
governments. The contributions are charged to the respective assets or the income statement on an accrual basis. Upon retirement,
the respective divisions are responsible for payment of the retirees' basic retirement benefits, and the Company does not have
any further obligations.
As
of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, the Company made plan contributions in the amount of $55,911 and $47,516
,
respectively.
Housing
Fund and Other Social Insurance
In addition to
retirement benefits, the Company makes contributions to the housing fund and other social insurances such as basic medical insurance,
unemployment insurance, worker injury insurance and maternity insurance for its employees in accordance with relevant laws and
regulations. Contributions are made monthly on the basis of the applicable rates of the employee salaries. The contributions are
charged to the respective liability account and the income statement on an accrual basis.
Earnings
per Share
The Company computes
net earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and
diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.
Basic net income
per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for that period.
Diluted net income
per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential
shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units and conversion
of preferred stock (none outstanding) for all periods, except in situations where inclusion is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income consists of net income and net unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated
statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income.
Segment
Reporting
The Company operates
and manages its business as a single segment. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the PRC, no geographical
segments are presented.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications
have been made in the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.
Adoption
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted
the new accounting standard that modifies the options for presentation of other comprehensive income. The new accounting standard
requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements.
We elected to present comprehensive income in two continuous statements.
On January 1,
2012, the Company also adopted the amendments to existing standards for testing for goodwill impairment and for fair value measurement
and disclosure.

Nalian Purchase
Agreement
In connection
with Xingyuan's purchase of the 63% ownership interest in Nalian in December 2005, the Company may become obligated to purchase
the remaining 37% ownership interest in Nalian not owned for RMB 8,880,000 (approximately $1.3 million), upon exercise of the shareholder's
option to put the shares to the Company.
Supply Agreements
In September 2010,
the Company executed 10-year agreements to supply marine fuel to Haiyu Fishery Limited Corporation ("Haiyu") and Jinghai
Group ("Jinghai"). Both Haiyu and Jinghai are located in Rongcheng City, Shandong province.
Under the terms
of the agreement with Jinghai, the Company is to supply Jinghai with up to 18,000 tons of marine fuel per year at local market
wholesale prices within that particular geographic area. The agreement also provides Jinghai with a rebate equivalent to an annual
payment of RMB 1 million (approximately USD 0.15 million) for the first three years of the agreement if certain volume levels are
achieved.
Legal proceedings
During the fourth
quarter of 2011, a number of class action lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by or on behalf
of current shareholders against the Company and certain of its officers and directors (the "Individual Defendants") in
connection with a contemplated “going private” proposal by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and majority
shareholder, An Fengbin (the “Proposed Transaction”). These lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Company and
certain of its officers and directors violated fiduciary duties by failing to take steps to maximize the value of the Company to
its public shareholders in a change of control transactions. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages and other
relief, including, without limitation, to enjoin the Individual Defendants from consummating the Proposed Transaction.
The foregoing
lawsuits are in the early stages of their respective proceedings. The Company anticipates that actions similar to the above-mentioned
actions may be filed in the future.
The Individual
Defendants are contesting each of the lawsuits vigorously, however are not in a position to predict the outcome or impact of the
lawsuits.
16. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company
received a series of bank notes from Shenzhen Development Bank in the aggregate amount of RMB 106 million (US $16.77 million).
The bank notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and mature six months from issuance.
Subsequent to June 30, the Company received
a series of bank notes from Huaxia Bank in the aggregate amount of RMB 45 million (US $7.12 million). The bank notes bear interest
at an annual rate of 7% and mature six months from issuance.
In late June 2012, the Company became aware
of certain misappropriations of Company assets. The Company engaged a Shanghai accounting firm to perform an inquiry, conclusions
of which were provided to the Company’s management in late July. The report findings identified four instances of misappropriation
by an employee during June and July 2012 from several Company managed locations close to Shanghai, which aggregate to approximately
709 tons of fuel with a cost of approximately RMB 3,743,000 (approximately USD$592,000) and cash in the amount of RMB 469,000 (approximately
USD$74,000). Following this discovery and report, management has been working with the local law enforcement authorities to recover
the misappropriated fuel inventory and cash. The employee’s position at the Company has been terminated and he no longer
holds any positions at the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has been reviewing its internal controls and procedures to
ensure, to the extent possible, that no such event can occur again in the future.
On August 13, 2012, the Company entered
into a settlement agreement with the former employee, in which the Company is to recover the misappropriated fuel and cash during
the third quarter of 2012. The Company has recorded a $421,965 receivable for the loss amount at June 30, 2012 that it expects
to recover pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. However, there is no assurance that the former employee will have
the ability to return or replace the misappropriated assets under the settlement agreement, or if recovery will occur within the
timeframe or on the terms agreed upon.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the
most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting
process, actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We primarily generate
revenue from blended products sales to distributors and end users. We also generate revenue from raw materials sales.
We consider revenue
from the sale of our blended products and raw materials realized or realizable and earned upon meeting all of the following criteria:
|
·
|
persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists;
|
|
·
|
the price to the distributor is fixed or determinable; and
|
|
·
|
collectability of payment is reasonably assured.
|
These criteria are
met at the time of shipment when the risk of loss passes to the distributor or end user. Revenue represents the invoiced value
of sold goods, net of VAT. Our products, all of which are sold in China, are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 17% of the gross
sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT we paid on raw materials and other
materials included in the cost of producing the finished product. The VAT amounts paid and available for offset are maintained
in our current liabilities.
Accounts Receivables
During the normal course
of business, we extend to some of our customers interest-free unsecured credit for an initial term of 30 - 60 days, depending
on a customer’s credit history, as well as local market practices. Our accounts receivable turnover in days for the six months
ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 13.19 and 8.6 days, respectively.
We review our accounts
receivables quarterly and determined the amount of allowances, if any, necessary for doubtful accounts. Historically, we have not
had any bad debt write-offs and, as such, we do not provide an arbitrary reserve amount for possible bad debts based upon a percentage
of sales or accounts receivable balances. Rather, we review our accounts receivable balances to determine whether specific reserves
are required due to such issues as disputed balances with customers, declines in customers’ credit worthiness, or unpaid
balances exceeding agreed-upon terms. Based upon the results of these reviews, we determine whether a specific provision should
be made to provide a reserve for possible bad debt write-offs.
We also communicate
with our customers each month to identify any potential issues and reassess our credit limits and terms with them based on their
prior payment history and practice. We also plan to continue building upon our existing relationships and history with each of
our customers to assist us in the full and timely collection of outstanding payments.
Assessment of Impairment for Long-lived Assets
Our long-lived assets
include fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill. Fixed assets comprise property and buildings, marine bunker, boiler equipment,
laboratory equipment, transportation vehicles and other office equipment, and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of
the assets on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets mainly comprise land use right and other finite-lived intangible assets.
We amortize the cost of intangible assets over their expected future economic lives. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the net of the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities
assumed upon the business acquisitions. Goodwill is stated at cost less provision for impairment loss. Management’s judgment
is required in the assessment of the economic lives of intangible assets and useful lives of the fixed assets. Based on the existence
of one or more indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment of fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill based on a projected
discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in
our business model. An impairment charge would be recorded if we determined that the carrying value of fixed assets, intangible
assets and goodwill may not be recoverable. Our estimates of future cash flows require significant judgment based on our historical
results and anticipated results and are subject to many factors.
Determination of Functional Currencies
Our reporting currency
is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Andatee and Goodwill are the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our PRC subsidiary,
our VIE and its subsidiaries in China is the RMB. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates. Normally, that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends
cash. Management’s judgment is essential in the determination of the functional currency which is made by assessing various
indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. Assets
and liabilities of our subsidiary and VIE entities in China are translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency, at the exchange
rate in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the current exchange rate in effect during
the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are not included in determining net income for the period but are
accumulated in a separate component of consolidated equity on the balance sheet. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment
as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 was a gain of $276,663 and $1,214,550 respectively.
Proposed Tender Offer and Subsequent Litigation Matters
On November 23,
2011, the Company announced that it had received notice from An Fengbin, Andatee’s majority shareholder and Chief
Executive Officer, of his intention to launch a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Andatee that he or
his affiliates did not own at the time. Specifically, An Fengbin proposed to negotiate the acquisition of all such
outstanding shares at a price of $4.21 per share in cash, subject to financing, the completion of due diligence, the
negotiation of a definitive merger agreement with Andatee, and other customary conditions (the “Proposed
Transaction”). The Company also announced the establishment of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company, consisting solely of independent directors, Francis N.S. Leong and Wen Jiang, to consider the terms of the Proposed
Transaction. The Special Committee has retained Morris James LLP as its legal counsel. In addition, on March 21, 2012, the
Special Committee also announced the engagement of Duff & Phelps, LLC as its independent financial advisor to assist the
Special Committee in evaluating the foregoing proposal from Mr. An. As of the date of this filing, the proposed offer for the
outstanding shares of Andatee has not yet commenced. No assurance can be given that this proposed offer will ever
be commenced under these or any other terms.
As discussed in detail
under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this Report, during the period of November-December 2011, the Company and certain of
its officers and directors have been named as defendants in several shareholder lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in connection with the Proposed Transaction. These litigation matters are in the early stages of their respective
proceedings and the Company is yet to respond to the complaints.
Inventory and Cash Misappropriation
In late June
2012, the Company became aware of misappropriations of Company assets. The Company engaged a Shanghai accounting firm to
perform an inquiry, conclusions of which were provided to the Company’s management in late July. The report findings
identified four instances of misappropriation by an employee during June and July 2012 from several Company managed locations
close to Shanghai, which aggregate to approximately 709 tons of fuel with a cost of approximately RMB 3,743,000
(approximately USD$592,000) and cash in the amount of RMB 469,000 (approximately USD$74,000). Following this discovery and
report, management has been working with the local law enforcement authorities to recover the misappropriated fuel inventory
and cash. The employee’s position at the Company has been terminated and he no longer holds any positions at the
Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has been reviewing its internal controls and procedures to ensure, to the extent
possible, that no such event can occur again in the future. On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with the former employee, in which the Company is to recover the misappropriated fuel and cash during the third
quarter of 2012. The Company has recorded a $421,965 receivable for the loss amount at June 30, 2012 that it expects to
recover pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. However, there is no assurance that the former employee will have
the ability to return or replace the misappropriated assets under the settlement agreement, or if recovery will occur within
the timeframe or on the terms agreed upon.
Business and Operations Overview
Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation
is a Delaware corporation. Our executive offices are located in the City of Shanghai, a key international shipping hub and
logistics center in China. Our main offices are located at 290 Kangji East Building 22nd Floor, Tianmu West Road, Zhabei District,
Shanghai City, China.
We carry out all of
our business through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Goodwill, its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Fusheng, and Fusheng’s variable
interest entity (VIE), Xingyuan, and Xingyuan’s subsidiaries (Xingyuan and its subsidiaries being collectively referred to
as the VIE entities). A VIE is an entity under FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,
an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”) where equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest
(see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Through Xingyuan, we are a leading marine fuel supplier along the coast
of east China. Our products include cargo vessel fuel classified as CST180 and CST120, fishing boat fuel classified as#1,#2, #3
and #4, which are close substitutes for diesel used throughout the region’s fishing industry. We produce, store, distribute
and trade the blended marine fuel oil for cargo and fishing vessels. Backed by core facilities, including storage tanks, tankers
and berths, our sales network covers major depots along the towns of Dandong, Tianjin, Shidao and Shipu, which are famous for their
fishing tradition and industry.
We sell our products
through distributors and to retail customers. Our products are substitutes for diesel used throughout east coast of China fishing
industry by small to medium sized cargo vessels. Our core facilities include storage tanks, berths (the space allotted to a vessel
at the wharf), marine fuel pumps, blending facilities and tankers. Our sales network covers major depots along the towns of Dandong,
Shidao, Tianjin, Wujiang, and Shipu along the east coast of China.
Our marine fuel for
cargo vessels is classified as CST180 and CST120; our marine fuel for fishing boats/vessels, - #1 fuel (for engines with 2,000
rpm capacity or higher), #2 fuel (for engines with 1,800 rpm capacity), #3 fuel (for engines with 1,600 rpm capacity) and #4 fuel
(for engines with 1,400 rpm capacity). We also produce blended marine fuel according to customer specifications using our proprietary
blending technology. Our own blend of marine diesel oil, #1, #3 fuel and #4 fuel are substitutes for the traditional diesel oil,
commonly known as #0 diesel oil, used by most small to medium vessels. We generate virtually all of our revenues from our own brands
of blended oil products.
Business Development and Outlook
Since our inception
in 2001, we have taken several steps to increase investment in facilities and product line expansion in order to provide our customers
with easier access to our products and services and to build a delivery network closer to target market. These steps include acquiring
additional local companies and facilities, and development of new products, all aimed at meeting customer demands in various markets.
Historically, we have funded these activities from our working capital.
We continue to ramp
up expansion of our distribution network by expanding organically through the opening of new sales and marketing branches in new
port locations, building new facilities improving our existing facilities, and signing sole supply agreements with long-term supply
partners.
Furthermore, we are
setting up market developing offices in large cities, such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc. to recruit capable local hands in a bid
to establish effective network of information for providing solid foundations to pursue our acquisition-driven growth strategy
in neighboring areas around the cities.
Facility Expansion
In April 2011, we commenced the construction
of Tengda wharf and storage tanks located in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. The Tengda projects will expand the existing wharf
and storage tanks. The capital expenditure for expanding the wharf and tank storage is estimated to be RMB 46 million (US$7.36
million).
In July 2011, we commenced the constructions
of new blending facilities in Xinfa in Rongcheng City, Shandong province, which is designed to improve our production capabilities
in blending with 20,000 cm tanks on site. The capital expenditure is estimated to be RMB 25 million (US$ 3.97 million),
In January 2011, we commenced the construction
of the facilities in Tianjin City, which is expected to be completed during the second half of 2012. This facility will provide
additional tank capacities in a region close to the areas where our current major suppliers operate. The cost for construction
is estimated to be approximately RMB 4.2 million (US$ 0.67 million).
Facility Acquisitions
We continue to strategically identify, research,
and where appropriate, acquiring entities with desired facilities in various areas that fit into Andatee’s strategic growth
plans.
In May 2010, we acquired a 52% equity interest
in Mashan Xingyuan Marine Fuel Company (“Mashan”). In July 2010, we acquired a 52% ownership of Hailong Petrochemical
Company (“Hailong”).
In December 2011, we acquired a 90% equity
interest in Wujiang Xinlang Petrochemical Company ("Xinglang") for RMB 2.36 million (approximately US$ 370,000). Xinglang
owns land use rights to develop a riverside fuel oil pump station in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province.
In December 2011, we acquired a 61% equity
interest in Suzhou Fusheng Petrochemical Company ("Suzhou Fusheng") for RMB 12.2 million (approximately $1.93 million).
Suzhou Fusheng owns storage tanks and land use rights to develop a riverside fuel oil pump station in Suzhou Wujiang City, Jiangsu
Province.
In December 2011, we acquired a 100% equity
interest in Rongcheng Zhuoda Trading Co (“Zhuoda”) for RMB 13 million (approximately US$ 2 million). Zhuoda owns storage
tanks with a capacity of 13,000 cubic meters in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province.
The acquisitions are consistent with Andatee’s
strategy of rapidly expanding its geographic base and increasing market share along China’s rivers and coastal line.
Operational Initiatives in 2012
In 2012, we undertook
the following steps designed to reduce the overall production and transportation costs:
|
·
|
Built and/or acquired other distributing facilities to increase our profit margin and sales, enhance
our brand and minimize the adverse impact of oil price volatility
|
|
·
|
Established regional purchase center to timely collect all information for sales and purchase analysis,
to process order making and logistics planning. This allows us to negotiate favorable pricing and volume discounts and maintain
an appropriate sale levels
|
|
·
|
Worked closely with the managements of the acquired companies to obtain an in-depth knowledge of
local markets and developed a list of suppliers to reduce the purchase cost of certain raw materials.
|
|
·
|
Relocated our production and storage centers closer to our end users which provide us more opportunity
to develop an efficient and flexible manufacturing and operational infrastructure and enjoy savings on transportation costs.
|
In 2012, our overall
strategy has been to (i) increase our share of retail sales since such sales had shown to be less price-sensitive than our sales
to the distributors, (ii) acquire our own retail facilities to reduce the risk of opportunistic negotiations from our retail customers
during periods of volatile oil prices, (iii) build retail points in strategic locations (often close to other, recently acquired
locations) to capture a majority of active local markets and (iv) add more products to our current product line to further satisfy
customers’ diversifying demands .
We believe that maintaining
our retail sales and distribution channels will lead to stable gross margins which can help offset the pressure imposed on our
profit margin by crude oil price downturn. We believe that higher retail sales and closer ties with our customers as well as wider
distribution network are at the core of our strength and business viability going forward.
We intend to (i) control
more facilities closer to end markets, through business acquisitions, partner cooperation, building local platform for our products
and added-value services, which would enhance the brand awareness of the “Xingyuan” brand and (ii) expand our product
line and upgrade our production facilities to explore the markets opportunities and increase our share in retail market.
Principal Factors Affecting our Financial
Performance
We believe that the following factors will
continue to affect our financial performance:
|
·
|
Increasing demand for blended marine fuel
— The increasing demand for blended
marine fuel has a positive impact on our financial position. The strong growth in the blended marine fuel industry since 2002 has
been driven by several factors, including, among others, steady population growth in the PRC, improvements in the living standards,
national energy conservation efforts.
|
|
·
|
Expansion of our sources of supply, production capacity and sales network
—
To meet the increasing demand for our products, we need to expand our sources of supply and production capacity. We plan to make
capital improvements in our existing production facilities, which would improve both their efficiency and capacity. In the short-run,
we intend to increase our investment in our reliable supply network, personnel training, information technology applications and
logistic system upgrades.
|
|
·
|
Fluctuations in Crude Oil Price
— We use oil refinery by-products as raw materials
for our production. The recent increase in oil prices had a direct impact on the price we pay for these products. However, we mitigated
this in the short-term by increasing the price of our products and passing the entirety of the increase to our customers.

Results of Operations
-
Comparison
of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenue
Our revenue increased
by US$6.0 million, or 9.5%, from US$63.14 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 to US$69.15 million for second quarter
ended June 30, 2012. The increase in our revenues was due to the increased sales volume and higher average crude oil price. The
sales volume increase by 2,496 tons, or 3.1%, from 81,400 tons for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 83,896 tons for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Our revenue increased
by US$1 million, or 0.9%, from US$107.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$108.4 million for six months ended
June 30, 2012.
Our overall sales volume
decreased by 4.1% or 5,631 tons, from 138,400 tons for the six months period ended June 30, 2011 to 132,769 tons for the six months
period ended June 30, 2012.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2012, 1# marine fuel represented 9.4% of our sales, 2# marine fuel represented16.8% of our sales, 3# marine fuel
represented 8.3% of our sales, 4# marine fuel represented 56.1% of our sales, 180CST represented 6.5% of our sales and 120CST represented
2.9% of our sales.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2011, 1# marine fuel represented 9.2% of our sales, 2# marine fuel represented 8.1% of our sales, 3# marine fuel
represented 9.7% of our sales, 4# marine fuel represented 55.3% of our sales, 180CST represented 9.7% of our sales and 120CST represented
8.0% of our sales.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenues
increased by US$7.4 million, or 12.61%, from US$59.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 to US$66.4 million for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 due to higher sales.
Our cost of revenues
increased US$4.6 million, or 4.7%, from US$98.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$102.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2012.
Gross Profit
As a result of the
increased average crude oil price and product mix, our gross profit decreased by US$1.4 million, or 34.2%, to US$2.7 million for
the second quarter of 2012 as compared to US$4.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our gross
profit margin was 4.0% and 6.6% for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Our gross profit decreased
by US$3.6 million, or 38.1%, from US$9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$5.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin dropped to 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared
to 8.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in our gross profit percentage results primarily from higher raw
materials costs, which we were unable to pass through to customers via increased sales price.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses decreased
by US$0.2 million, or 31.8%, from US$0.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 to US$0.4 million in second quarter of 2012. As
a percentage of revenues, selling expenses decreased from 1.0% for the second quarter of 2011 to 0.6% for 2012.
Our selling expenses
decreased US$0.54 million, or 37.1%, from US$1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$0.96 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was due in part to a reclassification of transportation expense from “selling expense”
to “cost of revenue,” and a decrease in sales employee compensation and other expenses for promotion of our products.
As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses decreased from 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 0.9% for 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative
expenses increased by US$0.3 million, or 27.55%, from US$1.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 to US$1.3 million for the second
quarter of 2012. The increase was in part due to expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of our executive offices from
Dalian to Shanghai. The increase also was due in increases in professional services fees and various vendor expenses. As a percentage
of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 1.6% for the second quarter of 2011 to 1.8% for 2012.
General and administrative
expenses increased US$0.7 million, or 38.44%, from US$1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$2.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 1.6% for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 to 2.2% for 2012.
Operating Income
As a result of the
factors discussed above, our operating income decreased by US$1.5 million, or 58.3%, from US$2.6 million for the second quarter
of 2011 to US$1.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of revenues, our operating income decreased from 1.6%
for the second quarter of 2011 to 4.1% for 2012.
Our operating income
decreased US$3.7 million, or 60.0%, from US$6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$2.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, our operating income decreased from 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011
to 2.3% for 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense (net)
increased by USD$0.1 million, or 13%, from US$0.80 million for the second quarter of 2011 to US$0.90 million for the second quarter
of 2012.
Interest expense (net)
increased US$1.2 million, from US$1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$2.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was the result of the increase in benchmark interest rate and tightening in credit
policy by China government in late 2011. The benchmark interest rate has increased by 1.89% from 6.31% for 2011 to 8.20% in 2012.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income
taxes decreased US$0.4 million, or 92.2%, from US$0.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 to US$0.04 million for the second
quarter of 2012. This decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to the decrease in our pre-tax income
by 91% over 2011.
Provision for income
taxes decreased US$1.21 million, or 97.0%, from US$1.25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$0.04 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to the decrease in our
pre-tax income by 95.0% over the first half of 2011.
Net Income
Net income attributable
to the Company decreased by US$1.2 million, or 84.0%, from US$1.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 to US$0.2 million for
2012.
Net income attributable
to the Company decreased by US$3.3 million, or 90.0%, from US$3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to US$0.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net income was mainly the result of the 4% decrease in profit margins ($3.6
million) and higher interest expense ($1.2 million), offset by lower taxes ($1.2 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June
30, 2012, we had cash of US$17 million in our bank accounts, and additionally, we have set aside $22 million for restricted
cash on bankers’ acceptance notes. The increase in our cash balance as at June 30, 2012 reflects the combined result
of significant increased level of institutional financing and significant increase in advances from customers. We believe
our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to maintain our questions at present level for at least next 12
months.
On an on-going basis,
we take steps to identify and plan our needs for liquidity and capital resources, to fund our planned ongoing construction and
day-to-day business operations. In addition to working capital to support our routine activities, we also will require funds for
the construction and upgrade of strategic facilities, acquisition of assets and/or equity, and repayment of debt.
Our future capital
expenditures will include building new fueling facilities, increase blending and storage capacity, berth improvement, expanding
product lines, research and development capabilities, and making acquisitions where deemed appropriate.
Our operating and capital
requirements in connection with supporting our expanding operations and introducing our products to the expanded areas have been
and will continue to be significant to us. Although we are profitable, and have been profitable, for the three and six month ended
June 30, 2012 and 2011, our growth strategy, which is initially focused on accretive acquisitions and organically expanding our
product into expanded areas will require substantial capital which we may not be able to satisfy solely through cash flows from
our operations.
The petrochemical business
is a capital intensive business. Our ability to maintain and increase our revenues, net income and cash flows depends upon continued
capital spending.
Based on our current
plans for the next 12 months, we anticipate that additional revenues earned from our expanded operation and broadened distribution
channels will be the primary organic source of funding for future operating activities in fiscal 2012. However, to fund continued
expansion of our operation and extend our reach to broader markets, and to acquire additional entities, we may rely on bank borrowing,
if available, as well as capital raises.
If and to the extent
we require additional capital we would likely to raise such additional capital through the issuance of our equity or equity-linked
securities, which may result in significant additional dilution to our current investors. Our ability to raise additional capital
is dependent on, among other things, the state of the financial markets at the time of any proposed offering. There is no assurance
that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis
and on satisfactory terms, our operations could be materially negatively impacted.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was US$1.6 million, which was primarily as a result of the following
factors:

|
|
·
|
a decrease in accounts and customer notes receivable of US$7.20 million as a result of efforts
in collection;

|
an increase in inventories of US25.24 million as a result of anticipating the sales volume will
increase in the expanded distribution network;
|
|
·
|

|
|
·

|

|
a decrease in accounts receivable of US$2.1million as a result of increased efforts in tightening policy of sales on credit
during the second quarter in 2011;
|
|
·
|
a decrease in inventories of US$0.7 million resulting from cutting back on inventory level on account of the fast increasing
cost of raw material and growing volatility of oil price, which requires less inventory to manage the risks followed and upcoming
slack season;
|
|
·
|
a decrease in advances to suppliers of $3.0 million as a result of reducing purchasing activities;
|
|
·
|
a decrease in prepaid expense and other current assets of US$0.7 million due to decreased prepayment for services and deposits

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Inflation

losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts
that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Evaluating Officers”), of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation,
the Evaluating Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the period covered. The
foregoing conclusion was due to the continued presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as
discussed under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in the Company’s previously
filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”). Management anticipates
that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weakness described below is remediated.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. As reported in the Annual Report, our management was aware of several
material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including weaknesses related to (i) control
environment, (ii) control activities, (iii) information and communications, and (iv) internal control monitoring. Our Evaluating
Officers concluded that those issues persisted at the time of their most recent evaluation.
We
are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company, particularly in
light of our recent acquisitions and the continued integration of these businesses as well as the instances of misappropriation
of fuel inventory set forth in Note 16 (Subsequent Events) Note to the financial statements and in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis included in this Quarterly Report. We have contracted to install new financial systems and that process is currently
expected to be completed during 2012. Our management intends to focus its remediation efforts in the near term on installing a
new financial system and documenting formal policies and procedures surrounding transaction processing, period-end account analyses
and providing for additional review and monitoring procedures and periodically assess the need for additional accounting resources
as the business develops and resources permit. Management is also committed to taking further action and implementing enhancements
or improvements as resources permit. We recognize, however, that implementation of additional measures may take considerable time.
Notwithstanding
the material weaknesses discussed above, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Report fairly
present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Except
as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter of 2012
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.
|
Legal Proceedings
|
Except as set forth
below, the Company is not involved in any legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, which may
be expected, individual or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company. As of the date of this filing, the Company
and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in several shareholder lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware in connection with a contemplated “going private” proposal by the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and majority shareholder, An Fengbin (the “Proposed Transaction”). These lawsuits and claims alleged thereunder
are as follows:
On or about November
29, 2011, George Durgin, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a complaint entitled George Durgin v. An Fengbin, Wen Jiang,
Wen Tong, Francis N.S. Leong, Hou Yudong and Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation, purportedly on behalf of all similarly
situated persons (the “Durgin Plaintiffs”), against the Company, An Fengbin, Wen Jiang, Wen Tong, Francis N.S. Leong
and Hou Yudong (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”) (the “Durgin Complaint”). The Durgin Plaintiffs
allege, among other things, that the Individual Defendants violated fiduciary duties owed to the Company’s public shareholders
because such Individual Defendants failed to take steps to maximize the value of the Company to its public shareholders in a change
of control transaction. The Durgin Plaintiffs also make allegations of similar breach of fiduciary duties by An Fengbin and allege
that the Company aided and abetted the Individual Defendants’ alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. Based on these
allegations, the Durgin Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages and other relief, including, without limitation,
to enjoin the Individual Defendants from consummating the Proposed Transaction.
On or about December
6, 2011, Roger and Lauresteine Marin, purported shareholders of the Company, filed a complaint entitled Roger and Lauresteine Marin
v. Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation, An Fengbin, Wen Jiang, Wen Tong, Francis N.S. Leong, and Hou Yudong, purportedly
on behalf of all similarly situated persons (the “Marin Plaintiffs”), also against the same Individual Defendants (the
“Marin Complaint”). The Marin Complaint’s allegations are substantially similar to and arise out of the same
alleged conduct as those set forth in the Durgin Complaint. The Marin Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages
and other relief, including, without limitation, to enjoin the Individual Defendants from consummating the Proposed Transaction.
On or about December
19, 2011, Harlow Greguire, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a complaint entitled Harlow Greguire v. An Fengbin, Wen
Tong, Wen Jiang, Francis N.S. Leong, Hou Yudong and Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation, purportedly on behalf of all
similarly situated persons (the “Greguire Plaintiffs”), also against the same Individual Defendants (the “Greguire
Complaint”). The Greguire Complaint’s allegations are substantially similar to and arise out of the same alleged conduct
as those set forth in the Durgin Complaint. The Greguire Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages and other relief,
including, without limitation, to enjoin the Individual Defendants from consummating the Proposed Transaction.
On or about December
27, 2011, Benjamin L. Padnos, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a complaint entitled Benjamin L. Padnos v. Andatee
China Marine Fuel Services Corporation, An Fengbin, Wen Tong, Wen Jiang, Francis N.S. Leong, and Hou Yudong, purportedly on behalf
of all similarly situated persons (the “Padnos Plaintiffs”), also against the same Individual Defendants (the “Padnos
Complaint”). The Padnos Complaint’s allegations are substantially similar to and arise out of the same alleged conduct
as those set forth in the Durgin Complaint. The Padnos Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified damages and other relief,
including, without limitation, to enjoin the Individual Defendants from consummating the Proposed Transaction.
The foregoing lawsuits
are in the early stages of their respective proceedings and the Company has yet to respond to the Complaints. The Company anticipates
that similar actions may be filed in the future. The Company’s by-laws, in currently in effect, provide for advancement and
indemnification of directors under certain circumstances that may be applicable here. In addition, the Company maintains a $5 million
directors’ & officers’ liability insurance policy that may apply to some or all of the claims against some or all
of the defendants.
Except as set forth
below, there were no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2011.
