NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

L & L International Holdings, Inc. (“L&L” and the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada, and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The Company is a coal (energy) company, started its operations 14 years ago in 1995. Coal sales for the current quarter ended on July 31, 2009 was made entirely in China, from coal mining, clean coal washing, and coal wholesales operations. Sales of these three coal relate operations represent the company’s consolidated sales for the period ended July 31, 2009. At the present time, the Company conducts its coal (energy) operations in Yunnan province, southwest China. As of July 31, 2009, L&L has 3 subsidiaries; the KMC coal wholesale operations, 2 coal mining operations (DaPuAn Mine and SuTsong Mine) including DaPuAn’s coal washing operations (“2 Mines”), and the Hon Shen coal washing operation (“HSC”). The majority controlling interest (65%) of HSC’s new coal washing facility was acquired by with 10 million RMB (equivalent to $1,464,129) on July 16, 2009. To focus on coal (energy) operation, the Company disposed of its majority interest of LEK air-compressor operations in January of 2009.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2008, the management of the Company determined that certain transactions and presentation in the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2008 had not been accounted for properly.

Management became aware that there was more income tax provision and depreciation expense in addition to what was recorded and reflected in the financial statements as of July 31, 2008. Income tax provision and depreciation expense was understated by $302,673 and $29,703 respectively as of July 31, 2008.

The Company has restated its financial statements by recording the accrual for income tax provision and depreciation expense as of July 31, 2008.

The effect of the correction of presentation is as follows:

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information - The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the three months period ended July 31, 2009 may not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its 100% ownership of KMC subsidiary, 60% of operations of L&L Coal Partners, “2 Mines” including both coal mining and coal washing, and 65% of Hon Shen Coal. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Business Segment – For the current quarter ended July 31, 2009, the Company has one reportable business segment: coal (energy) including both coal mining, clean coal washing and coal wholesales. Sales of the Company are mainly generated from its coal (energy) operations, which represented 100% of the Company’s total consolidated income.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin 104, which stipulates recognition of revenue when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers.

Costs of Good Sold – For coal (energy) sales, cost of good sold includes mainly coal excavation, mining and coal washing related costs.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Based on our past experience, these estimates are reasonably accurate, have not been changed, and these estimates are reasonably not likely to be changed in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New accounting pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquire; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and, c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that

7


SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after April 30, 2009.

In March, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate importance. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS CONBINATION

The Company owns 100% of KMC, and majority equity controlling interest of the DaPuAn Coal Mine and SuTsong Mine under the provisional name of L&L Coal Partners (the “2 Mines”), and Hon Shen Coal Washing operation (“HSC”). The 2 Mines acquired in 2008 has built and completed a new coal washing facility in July of 2009 using its cash from net operating profit. HSC located in the same area of operation in Yunnan Province, China was acquired on July 16, 2009, based on a purchase agreement under which the Company received majority controlling (65%) equity interest in HSC. See prior SEC filings on the Company equity interests in the KMC subsidiary, 2 Mines, in additional to the HSC.

The following information relates to the recent HSC acquisition:

1.      The 65% of HSC equity was acquired by the Company with net value at $2,252,506 as of July 31, 2009 (the acquisition date). Coal washing is a process of cleaning raw coal by physically crushing coal rocks into fine coal powders, and removing impurities and debris from raw coal. In the washing process, washed coal are separated into different grade such as coking coal (provides both carbons and fuel for the making of coke; a critical material for the steel productions), and the heating/thermal coal (provides calories to fuel the utility/power plants). The purchase of the HSC will add approx. 300,000 long tons of fine washed coals capacity each year to the Company.
 
  Together with the newly completed coal washing facility built by L&L’s DaPuAn Mine, the Company will produce over 500,000 tons of fine washed coal each year, starting 7/16/ 2009.

NOTE 12. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The amount of $2,503,660 represents the exclusive mining rights to operate the 2 Mines and to extract coal from the 2 Mines coal reserves for approximately 50 years, authorized by the Chinese government. The intangible were acquired in the first quarter of 2008 from the 2 Mines, as a result of acquisition of the “2 Mines” on May 1, 2008 (Note 4). The exclusive mining rights can be renewed with little or no additional cost at the end of 50 years. As coal demand cannot meet its supply in China, and it is Chinese government policy to get more coal out of mines to meet increasing coal demand, there is no impairment of the intangible as of July 31, 2009. The Company has elected to use the straight line method of amortizing its intangible asset costs. The amortization period is 50 years, resulting in amortization expenses of approximately $50,000 per year.

Under the China law, all coal reserves are legally belonged to the government, thus no coal reserve is reported as assets of the Company as of July 31, 2009.

The intangible amortization schedule for the upcoming 5 years is as below:     
 
   Year ending April 30,    Amortization 
   2010    $50,147

NOTE 16. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company mainly focus on energy operations.

Geographic Segment:

The Company’s operations are in two geographic locations: 1) in China, and 2) in the U.S. All income of the Company was generated in China. During the period ended July 31, 2009, the 2 Mines contributed sales of approximately $6.84 million, KMC contributed sales of approximately $4.33 million, while HSC contributed sales of approximately $1.55 million to the Company. Both the 2 Mines, KMC and HSC are located in China.

NOTE 17. INCOME AND SALES TAXES

The Company’s main operations are located in China. The Company is subject to income taxes primarily in two taxing jurisdictions, China, and the United States. The income of the Company is mainly generated via its controlled 2 Mines subsidiaries, KMC and Hon Shen Coal, controlled foreign entities located in China. The Company incurs tax liability for the coal operations including coal profit tax charged at 25% of coal profit and various surcharges. As the 2 Mines (DaPuAn Mine and SuTsong Mine) in a heavily regulated resource business in China, are in a form of proprietorship (are not incorporated as a corporation), thus they are subject a special tax rate equal to approximately 5% of total revenue proceeds as of the period ended July 31, 2009, subject to provisional adjustments when the coal sale changes. As no cash or funds were repatriated from China to the U.S., the Company’s income was not subject to the U.S. federal

12


taxation for both the current period and the prior year ended on July 31, 2009, and 2008, under subpart F, income from controlled foreign company, of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In the period ended on July 31, 2009 and on July 31, 2008, there were no material temporary book/tax differences or differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

The Company’s tax liability for the period ended July 31, 2009 was $5,458,889, compared to the prior year ended on April 30, 2009 was $6,014,922. These payables to Chinese local governments can be postponed temporarily as L&L, a U.S. company, is expanding the Sino-American joint-venture to bring in U.S. management skills to increase coal production and safety standards, beneficial to Chinese local communities. According to the China law, a new joint venture may enjoy special Chinese tax rebates from the governments, thus there is a high probability that the 2 Mines, KMC and Hon Shen local tax liability payments may be delayed or mitigated.

The following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate to the income taxes reflected in the Statement of Operations:

    July 31, 2009    July 31, 2008 



 Tax expense (credit) at statutory rate - federal    34%    34% 



 State tax expense net of federal tax    6%    6%

United States of America         

As of July 31, 2009, the Company in the United States had approximately $1,882,705 in net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income. Federal net operating losses can generally be carried forward 20 years. The deferred tax assets at July 31, 2009 consists mainly of net operating loss carry forwards. Due to the uncertainty of the realizability of the related deferred tax assets of $753,082, a reserve equal to the amount of deferred income taxes has been established at July 31, 2009. The Company has provided 100% valuation allowance to the deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2009.

People’s Republic of China (PRC)

Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the Company's subsidiary is generally subject to Enterprise Income Taxes ("EIT") at a statutory rate of 25% for the entity of KMC, while the income taxes rate for LLC and HSC is 5% since it was owned in form of partnership. LLC was acquired effectively on May 1, 2008, and HSC was acquired effectively on July 16, 2009.

Plan of Operations

The Company is engaged in and currently generates revenue from its coal mining, clean coal washing, coal consolidation, and wholesaling businesses in China, the world largest coal consuming nation. Despite China having substantial coal resources, due to a lack of organizational skills of the coal industry among other factors, China’s mining companies cannot produce enough coal to meet China’s domestic demand for coal. As the Chinese economy continues with its GDP growth at an estimated 7%-8% in 2009 focusing on domestic consumption, the Company plans to continue leveraging on its fourteen (14) years of in-country experience, U.S. management skills, and U.S. accounting knowledge to become a leading coal energy company not only in Yunnan Province, but also in Guangdong Province. The Company plans to expand its coal

17


business by expanding upon its existing operations, and by acquiring other existing profit making coal companies following China’s oligopoly policy that is aimed to eliminate small, inefficient coal mines and to favor efficient operations. Despite the Wall Street financial downturn in 2008, the Company was able to continue increasing its operations during the current quarter ended on July 31, 2009. The Company plans to invite qualified U.S. mining executives and strategic partners to join in L&L’s management team and to facilitate its vertical integration in the coal industry. When the Company reaches a certain size, L&L plans to gradually leverage on the vast U.S. coal (energy) resources to diversify its operational risks and to increase revenue.

Results of Operations

1) During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Company sales increased of approx. 19% to $12,745,050 as compared to $10,665,981 for the same period in 2008. This sales increase was mainly due to L&L Coal sales, KMC sales, and HSC sales increase of coal operations incurred during the current quarter. As of 7/31/2009, coal sales represent approximately 100% of L&L total sales.

2) As of July 31, 2009, the Company controls 100% of KMC operations, 60% of L&L Coal operations, and 65% of Hon Shen Coal washing operation (HSC). The Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP)., had removed minority interests from the profit belonging to the minority shareholders of L&L Coal and Hon Shen, which are 40% and 35% respectively, from the Company’s net profit. Consequently, the Company consolidated results of operations appear to have a much lower profit margin than had the Company could reflect the entire operation profit as its bottom line. To reflect its true results of operation and improve its profit, the Company intents to acquire the entire equity of L&L Coal and HSC when it is feasible to do so.

Total Revenue:

The Company recorded revenue of $12,745,050 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, comparing to $10,665,981 for the same period in 2008. The increase of $2,079,069 (or 19%) for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 was a result of L&L Coal, KMC and HSC operation which contributed over $6.8 million, $4.3 million and $1.5 million of sales respectively in the current period.

Total Operating expenses:

Total operating expense of $1,153,885 incurred in the period ended July 31, 2009, representing an increase of $99,496 (or 9%) as compared to $1,054,389 for the same period in 2008.

Interest expenses:

Interest expenses of $3,598 for the period ended July 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $56,787 (or 94%) from $60,385 for the same period in 2008. The decrease reflected decreasing bank loans for the period.

Minority Interest:

Minority interest for the period ended July 31, 2009 was $1,956,522, representing an increase of $179,337 (or 10%) from $1,777,185 for the same period in 2008. The increase of minority interest is due to the acquisition of HSC.

Net Income:

Net income increased by $155,805 (or 6%) to $2,694,129 during the current quarter, comparing to net income of $2,538,324 for the same period of 2008, as a result of the acquisition of HSC.

Change in Liquidity and Capital Resources:

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

18


Operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $7,075,668 during the current period ended July 31, 2009. While in the same of period in 2008, the net cash provided by operating activities was $1,674,183. By comparing these two periods, it shows an increment of cash provided by operating activities of $5,401,485 (or 322%). The increment was mainly due to the combined effect of an increase of accounts receivables by $7,050,756, and increase of prepaid and other assets by $11,914,138, and decrease of accounts payable and other payable by $8,709,583, decrease of customers deposit by $1,682,065, decrease of accrued liabilities and other liabilities by $1,394,197, and decrease of taxes payable by 1,067,120. The Company's operating cash flow is highly dependent upon its ability to bill the L&L Coal, KMC and HSC sales and collect these billings in a timely manner.

Investing activities: Net Cash used in investing activities was $6,377,438 during the current period ended July 31, 2009, compared to $1,803,203 used investing activities during the same period in 2008. The increase of net cash used of $4,574,236 (or 253%) was due to the acquisition of HSC.

Financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $676,313 during the current period ended July 31, 2009, compared to $496,199 was generated during the same period in 2008. It shows an increase of $180,114 (or 36%), which was mainly due to issuance of stocks.

The current assets of the Company were $42,735,244 and $42,485,102 for the periods ended on July 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009 respectively. The increase in current assets of $250,142 (or 0.5%) was primarily due to the decrease of accounts receivable by $1,277,295, and decrease of prepayment and other receivable of $1,190,636, and increase of cash and equivalent by $1,336,438, and increase of inventories by $1,176,975.

The current liabilities were $16,051,100 and $16,110,409 for the periods ended on July 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009 respectively. The decrease of the current liabilities by $59,309 was primarily due to the decrease of accounts payable by $1,439,782, and increase of other payable by 1,464,129.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

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

The Company's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities, a ratio used to determine the Company's ability to pay its short-term liabilities) is 2.66 as of July 31, 2009 compared to 2.63 as of April 30, 2009. As a general rule, the higher the current ratio, the more likely the Company will be able to pay its short-term bills.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). In doing so, the Company must make estimates and assumptions based on these principles. Many of the estimates and assumptions involved in the application of U.S. GAAP may have a material impact on the reported financial condition, operational performance, and the comparability of such reported information over different reporting periods. The nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters of the susceptibility of such matters to changes; the impact of estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operational performance may be material. There may be uncertainties attached to the estimates or assumptions, or may be difficult to measure or value.

As assumptions for specific sensitivities may change as a result of other possible outcomes, these estimates/assumptions may change in the future and may affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

19


(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only with the appropriate authorization of our management and directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance for the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The following accounts my require estimates in computing the balances:

Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers.

Accounts receivable - Majority of the Company's accounts receivable is due from its customers in China. The Company determines any required allowance, by considering a number of factors including length of time trade accounts receivable are past due and the Company's previous loss history. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. When payments subsequently received on such receivables, they are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories - Inventories comprise finished goods and work–in-progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, calculated on the first-in first-out basis, comprises materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses. Under the China law, the coal reserve is not recorded as a part of L&L inventories.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Not recording value of coal reserves - On a conservative basis, the Company does not record the value of the 2 Mines' coal reserves which the Company has an exclusive right to excavate for commercial purposes and on a long term basis, as evidenced by the exclusive government mining licenses for the 2 Mines.

Income taxes - The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of financial statements. Its income from overseas controlled subsidiaries is not subject to the United States federal income taxes, as income not repatriated to the U.S. is not subject to the IRS code.

Financial Instruments - Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivables, related party receivables, investments in equity securities and obligations under a bank credit facility. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and the credit facility approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the related party receivables is estimated on the basis of arms’ length transactions.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Based on the past experience, these estimates are reasonably accurate, may have not been changed, and it is our best belief that these estimates are reasonably not likely to be changed in the future under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation - In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R establishes the accountings transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R (1) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (2) supersedes Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and (3) establishes fair value as the measurement objective for share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective May 1, 2005 in accordance with the standard's early adoption provisions.

20


The Company, from time-to-time, may grant restricted stock to employees and executives to award them for their services. Under SFAS123R, compensation cost, is to be charged as expenses on the grant date only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company has made additional disclosure on Note 22: Employee Stock Option Plan.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that the Company assess the value of a long-lived asset whenever there is an indication that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value. For purposes of these tests, long-lived assets must be grouped with other assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. No long-lived assets were impaired during the periods ended July, 2009 and 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In addition, SFAS No. 123R requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. For public entities that file as a small business issuer, SFAS No. 123R is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period of the Company’s first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets – an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” to amend APB No. 29 by eliminating the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange is defined to have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. The Company will consider SAB No. 107 during implementation of SFAS No. 123R.

In August 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, and it changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting them. Unless it is impractical, the statement requires retrospective application of the changes to prior periods’ financial statements. This statement is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

SFAS 155 – ‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’

This Statement, issued in February 2006, amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”

This Statement:

a. Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation

21


b. Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 133

c. Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation

d. Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives

e. Amends FASB Statement No.140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of our first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

The Company is currently reviewing the effects of adoption of this statement but it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

SFAS 156 – ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140’

This Statement, issued in March 2006, amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:

1. Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations.

2. Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.

3. Permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

4. At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a service elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

5. Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed by the Company whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the assets’ net carrying value. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets.

Earning Per Common Share - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which supersedes APB No. 15. Net profit per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net profit per share (“Diluted EPS”) is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Basic EPS

22


differs from the primary EPS calculation in that basic EPS does not include any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS must be disclosed regardless of the dilutive impact to basic EPS (see Note 20).

Foreign currency translation - The Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintain their financial statements in the local currency which has been determined to be the functional currency. Substantially all overseas operations are conducted in China, using the functional currency Renminbi (RMB). Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

For the period ended July 31, 2009, contractual obligations were as follows:

Rent expenses for the period ended July 31, 2009 was in the amounts of approximately $11,801 per quarter. See Note 23 (Commitment and Contingencies) for additional details.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, 100% of our consolidated revenues and 100% of consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), with the balance denominated in U.S. dollars. Substantially all of our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and acting Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company, its CEO, and acting CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of 7/31/2009, covered by this report.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(a) Management’s quarterly report on internal control over financial reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

23


Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, our management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effectiveness.

The Company internal controls were effective as of July 31, 2009.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this quarterly report.

During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Company recruited Ms. J.M. (Rosemary) Wang, CPA, as Acting CFO to enhance internal control of the Company’s financial reporting.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended July 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are aware that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met, and that maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting is an ongoing process that may change over time.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to a number of risks, including those enumerated below. An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Each reader and investor should carefully read and consider these risk factors which may affect the Company’s future results and financial conditions. If the damages threatened by any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations, and cash flows would likely suffer significantly. In any of those cases, the value of our common stock could decline significantly, and you may lose all of part of your investment.

1.      Risks Relating to the Company and Its Business
 
  The Company’s main business is operating coal mines in China. China is developing fast, but China has a sophisticated, long history with complicated cultural traditions, which are vastly different from that of the United States. The decision-making processes of China are different than those of the United States, which becomes a major risk as the Company is incorporated in the United States but operates in China. As China is still developing its legal system, laws in China are not the same as those in the United States. A coal business having United States equity and ownership controls is allowed in China. However, coal mining in China is operated under Chinese government mining licenses, subject to governmental influence and control. Potential industrial accidents and mining safety are major risks to the Company. Business activities conducted in China are generally neither covered by U.S. laws nor subject to the American judicial system. Any legal system reversal or social unrest in China could adversely affect the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations.
 
  As the Company is in the business of coal mining, mining-related industrial accidents do happen. It is the Chinese government’s policy to improve upon mining safety to avoid accidents. The Company is reviewing existing operational standards, including insurance coverage, and is in discussions to improve the quality control standards of its mining operations.
 
  There are critical and major risks to the Company’s mining operations, and each investor needs to consider such risks seriously before making an investment in the Company.
 
2.      Ownership of Land and Mining Rights
 
  Contrary to the outright ownership of land in the United States, land in China is only leased to lessees on a long- term basis, ranging from 40 to 70 years. Currently, no law in China prohibits the continual lease of the same land by the lessee after expiration of the lease.
 
  Coal mining licenses are the exclusive evidence for approval of a coal mine’s mining rights by the Chinese government. Similar to the ownership of land in China, coal reserves are owned by the Chinese government, which issues a mining license when it leases exclusive mining rights to a mining operator on a long term basis (normally 50 years) that allows the mining operators to operate and extract coal from the mine. The government charges all mining operators a resources (usage) fee ranging from 2%-3% based on the value of the coal excavated from the ground. The coal industry in China is heavily regulated by the government for safety and operational reasons. Several licenses and permits are required in order to operate a coal mine. These licenses and permits, once issued, are to be reviewed and renewed, typically once a year. In addition, many privately owned coal mines, including the 2 Mines, are owned via either a proprietorship or a partnership instead of by a company, due to historical reasons. Private owners under a proprietorship or a partnership of the Company’s mines may subject to greater risks than that of corporations which have limited liabilities.
 
3.      Cultural, Political and Language Differences
 
  There are material cultural, political and language differences between China and the United States, which make business negotiations and doing business more difficult in China than in the United States. Furthermore,
 

25


  continuing trade surpluses, a result of greater Chinese exports to the U.S. than U.S. exports to China, have become a sensitive political issue in the United States, and various members of United States legislature have threatened trade sanctions against China should the country continue a trade surplus with the United States. In addition, continuing strong economic growth in China with possible military buildup may result in American economic sanctions against China that could adversely affect the financial position and results of operations of the Company.
 
4.      Fluctuation in the Value of the Renminbi (RMB) May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Your Investment
 
  Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. Dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, which are set daily based on the previous day’s PRC interbank foreign exchange market rate and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to U.S. Dollars has generally been stable. On July 21, 2005, however, PBOC announced a reform of its exchange rate system. Under the reform, RMB is no longer effectively linked to the U.S. Dollar but instead is allowed to trade in a tight 0.3% band against a basket of foreign currencies. The Chinese currency is considered by many to be under valued against other foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar. The Chinese RMB thus may appreciate against the U.S. Dollar. The value of the RMB has increased since the Summer of 2005, and the trend of further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar continued in 2008. When and if the Chinese Government allows a floating exchange rate, it is expected the RMB will appreciate more in its value. The United States has requested that China allow its currency exchange rate to float freely. Implications of currency fluctuation may or may not be favorable to the Company and its investments in China.
 
5.      We Depend on Key Persons and the Loss of Any Key Person Could Adversely Affect Operations
 
  The future success of L & L’s investments in China is dependent on the Company’s management team, including its Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, its professional team, and advisors, who speak the languages, understand cultural differences, and are adept at doing business internationally. If one or more of the Company’s key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company may not be able to easily replace them, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel. The loss of the Company’s key personnel could severely disrupt the Company’s business and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, since the industries the Company invests in are characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, the Company may need to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain key personnel in the future. The Company cannot assure its investors that it will be able to attract or retain the key personnel needed to achieve our business objectives. Furthermore, the Company does not maintain key-man life insurance for any of its key personnel. Currently, only the CEO is covered by a one-year term accident insurance policy in China, which is paid for by the Company. We are in process to obtain a life insurance package for such a key person in case of loss his ability to perform, but as of August 11, 2009 such insurance has not been obtained.
 
6.      Some of Our Directors and Officers Reside Outside of the United States
 
  Because our Company's directors and officer(s) reside both within and outside of the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce his or her rights against them or to enforce United States court judgments against them if they live outside the United States. Most of the Company's assets, including the recently acquired L & L Coal Partners (2 Mines) and the KMC coal wholesale business, are located in China, outside of the United States. Additionally, the Company plans to continue acquiring other energy-related entities in China in the future. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon the Company's directors or officers, or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of the Company's directors and officers under federal securities laws. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the federal securities laws.
 
7.      Our Business has Limited Insurance Coverage in China
 
  The Company has very limited business insurance coverage in China. The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. In particular, insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. No business liability or disruption insurance coverage is available for the Company's business operations in China.
 

26


  Any business disruption, industrial accidents in coal related operations, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources.
 
8.      Chinese Legal System/Enforcement of Agreements, Including Acquisition Agreements in China
 
  Despite China having its own securities laws and regulators, the Chinese legal system is in a developmental stage and has historically not enforced its Chinese securities law as rigidly as their U.S. counterparts. As China is not under the common law system, business conducted there is ruled by the people, not ruled by law which is different from the U.S. In addition, China’s judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, resulting in significant uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation in China. Consequently, there is a risk that should a dispute arise between the Company and any party with whom the Company has entered into a material agreement in China, the Company may be unable to enforce such agreements under the Chinese legal system. Chinese law will govern almost all of the Company's acquisition agreements, many of which may also require the approval of Chinese government agencies. Thus, the Company cannot assure investors that the target business will be able to enforce any of the Company’s material agreements or that remedies will be available outside China.
 
  The Company is aware that on October 21, 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") issued a new circular ("Circular 75"), effective November 1, 2005, which repealed Circular 11 and Circular 29, which previously required Chinese residents to seek approval from SAFE before establishing any control of a foreign company or transfer of China-based assets or equity for the shares of the foreign company. SAFE also issued a news release about the issuance of its Circular 75 to make it clear that China’s national policies encourage the efforts by Chinese private companies and high technology companies to obtain offshore financing. Circular 75 confirmed that the uses of offshore special purpose vehicles (“SPV”) as holding companies for PRC investments are permitted as long as proper foreign exchange registrations are made with SAFE. As China starts to develop its legal system, additional legal, administrative, and regulatory rules and regulations may be enacted, and the Company may become subject to the additional rules and regulation applicable to the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries. In the event that the Company has a disagreement with a government agency, or a business entity in China, L & L will negotiate with such party to resolve the disagreement in order to maintain harmonious relationships while doing business in China.
 
  Despite the fact that the entire registration process has not been completed, the Company has received an approval from the Chinese government for L & L’s ownership of KMC Inc. as of July 31, 2009. We are also in the process of registering our ownership equity ownership interest in the 2 Mines (DaPuAn Mine and SuTsong Mine) with the Chinese government, under the provisional name “L & L Coal Partners” through a nominee who is a Chinese citizen. The LEK investment was formulated in 2004 prior to the SAFE Circular, which may be grand-fathered out off SAFE registration. In addition, we recently spun off LEK on January 31, 2009. It is unclear to what extent the regulations apply to the Company. The Company believes that Circular 75 and other related Circulars or regulations may likely be further clarified by SAFE, in writing or through oral comments by officials from SAFE, or through implementation by SAFE in connection with actual transactions. The Company recently entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 65% of equity interest of Hon Shen Coal Company on July 16, 2009, and the Company will also be commencing shortly the registration procedures that are required by the Chinese government for such acquisition.
 
9.      Risks Associated with the Company’s Business Strategy Contemplating Growth May Need More Capital
 
  As the Company continues to grow quickly, it requires capital infusions from the capital market. Under our current business strategy, our ability to grow will depend on the availability of additional funds, suitable acquisition targets at an acceptable cost, meeting the Company’s liability requirements, and working capital. The Company’s ability to compete effectively, to reach agreements with acquisition targets on commercially reasonable terms, to secure critical financing and to attract professional managers are critical to the Company’s success. The benefits of an acquisition may take considerable time to develop and we cannot assure investors that any particular acquisition or joint venture will produce the intended benefits. Moreover, the identification and completion of these transactions may require us to expend significant management time and effort and other resources.
 
10.      The Company Acquisition Strategy May Result in Dilution to Its Stockholders
 

27


  The Company’s business strategy calls for strategic acquisitions of other coal related businesses. In the past, as a result of the acquisitions of KMC, the Company issued 485,600 common shares as consideration for the purchase. The Company also issued 400,000 common shares in connection with its acquisition of the controlling 60% equity interest in L & L Coal Partners, which, in turn, owns the 2 Mines. It is anticipated that future acquisitions will require cash and issuances of L & L capital stock, including our common stock, warrants, preferred shares, or convertible bonds in the future. To the extent we are required to pay cash for any acquisition, we anticipate that we would be required to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing from either the public sector, or private financing. Equity financing would result in dilution for our stockholders. Stock issuances and equity financing, if obtained, may not be on terms favorable to us, and could result in dilution to our stockholders at the time(s) of these stock issuances and equity financings, thus creating a risk factor. In addition, the availability of significant amounts of L & L common stock for sale could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
  As of July 31, 2009, there were approximately 21.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, with 400,000 shares of treasury stock held by the Company, and a certain amount of warrants issued. Please refer to the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity for details.
 
11.      Recently Enacted Changes in Securities Laws and Regulations are Likely to Increase Our Costs
 
  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), which became law in July 2002, requires changes in our corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance practices. Sarbanes-Oxley also requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to promulgate new rules on a variety of corporate governance and disclosure subjects. We expect these developments to increase our legal and financial compliance costs.
 
  We also expect these developments, in addition to the existing securities rules and regulation, will make it more difficult and more expensive for the Company to attract and retain additional members to the Board of Directors (both independent and non-independent), and additional executive officers especially in regards to our recruitment of a full time Chief Financial Officer. At worst, due to expenses related to compliance with increasing securities laws and regulations, the Company may not be able to continue to maintain its status as a U.S. public company, and may need to seek listing in a market outside the United States, such as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange among other foreign exchanges, or become a private company.
 

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

During the first quarter ended 7/31/2009, the total number of un-registered sales of equity securities was 594,211 shares made to Accredited Investors, with the amount of $608,500.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

Item 5. Other Information

None.
