ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are identified by words and phrases such as "anticipate", "intend", "expect" and words and phrases of similar import. We caution investors that forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations about future events and are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those set forth in Item 1A above. We encourage you to read those risk factors carefully along with the other information provided in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC before deciding to invest in our stock or to maintain or change your investment. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise noted, all currency figures in this filing are in U.S. dollars. References to "Yuan" or "RMB" are to the Chinese yuan (also known as the Renminbi). According to Bank of China, as of May 13, 2009, $1= 6.8235 Yuan.

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2006. From March 24, 2006 to June 19, 2008, we did not own any interest in any property, but merely had the right to conduct exploration activities on one property, which consisted of 20 cells containing 169.029 hectares located in the Nicola Mining Division District of British Columbia, Canada. We intended to explore for gold on the property. Our exploration program should take approximately 365 days, weather permitting. We did not own any subsidiary company.

On June 19, 2008, Walter Brenner and Horst Balthes (the "Affiliate Sellers"), two major shareholders and affiliates of the Company consummated two Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Affiliate Agreements") with Oracular Dragon. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreements, Oracular Dragon acquired from the Affiliate Sellers a total 3,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company for a total price of $ 75,000. Also on June 19, 2008, a group of non-Affiliate Stockholders ("Non-Affiliate Sellers") of the Company consummated a Non-Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement ("Non-Affiliate Agreement") with Oracular Dragon. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Non-Affiliate Agreement, Oracular Dragon acquired from the Non-Affiliate Sellers a total 1,424,231 shares of common stock of the Company for a total price of $ 271,586. As the result, Oracular Dragon acquired from Affiliate and Non-Affiliate Sellers a total 4,524,231 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 73.7% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

On June 30, 2008, the Company entered a share exchange agreement ("Share Exchange Agreement") under which the Company issued 5,865,000 shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.00001, to Oracular Dragon in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares that Oracular Dragon owned in Origin Orbit Green Resource Company, Ltd. ("Origin Orbit"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracular Dragon ("Share Exchange Transaction").

The Share Exchange Transaction is the final part of a series of consecutive transactions including the Affiliate and Non-Affiliate Stock Purchase Transactions consummated on June 19, 2008 ("Stock Purchase Transactions"). The Share Exchange Transaction and Stock Purchase Transactions, combined together, were to ensure that the Company was able to acquire 100% of the beneficial ownership interest in Origin Orbit.

Origin Orbit is a holding company that, on April 4, 2007, acquired 100% of the capital stock of Anyang Prosperous Energy Technology Developing Co., Ltd. ("Anyang Prosperous") and Anyang Top Energy Green Resources Co., Ltd. ("Anyang Top"), both of which were organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Upon the acquisition of Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top became our subsidiaries that we own through Origin Orbit.

Following the acquisition of Origin Orbit, we ceased all the metal exploring business. Our new primary business operations include: retail sales of CNG and operation of CNG filling stations; retail sales of LPG and operation of LPG filling stations; and wholesale of LPG and CNG. Our primary business is carried out by Origin Orbit through Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top.


On October 14, 2008, we changed our legal name from "Acropolis Precious Metals, Inc." to "China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation".

In the remainder of this filing and its exhibits, "we, us or our" refers to China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation, Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top, collectively. The results of operations discussed below are the consolidated results of reflect the results of China Prosperous Clean Energy Corporation, Origin Orbit, Anyang Prosperous and Anyang Top.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management's discussion and analysis.

Basis of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CHPC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances or transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Basis of Preparation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represented time deposits pledged against short-term bank facilities. Restricted cash is classified as current assets as the maturity of the short-term bank facilities was within one year.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer's payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management's estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required.

Available-for-sale Investments

Available-for-sale investments are equity securities which the Company does not intend to sell in the near term. The investees are private companies and do not have a quoted market price in an active market, so the fair value of available-for-sale investment cannot be practicably estimated are stated in the balance sheet using the cost method. Temporary impairments of costs of such available-for-sale investments are reported in other comprehensive income, where as other than temporary impairments are reflected in earnings.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for acquisitions of business in accordance with SFAS No.
141 "Business Combinations", which may result in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but will be subject to periodic evaluation for impairment. Goodwill is stated in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Buildings, Machinery and Equipment
Buildings, machinery and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of buildings, machinery and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Useful Life Buildings 20-40 years Machinery, gas storage vehicles and motor vehicles 5-10 years Office equipment 5 years

The carrying value of buildings, machinery and equipment is assessed annually and when factors indicating impairment is present, the carrying value of the fixed assets is reduced by the amount of the impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the net asset carrying value. An impairment loss, if exists, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress includes direct costs of construction of buildings, equipment and others. Interest incurred during the period of construction, if material, is capitalized. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are completed and put into service.

Asset Impairment

(a) Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.

(b) Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company's fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates.

Financial Instruments

The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other current assets; trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term bank loans and other current liabilities.

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective year ends.


Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales revenue is recognized net of sales discounts and returns at the time when the merchandise is sold to the customer. Based on historical experience, management estimates that sales returns are immaterial and has not made allowance for estimated sales returns.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in any material impact on the Company's financial position or results.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No.130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

Foreign Currency

The Company uses the United States dollars ("US Dollar" or "US$" or "$") for financial reporting purposes. The Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company's financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:


                                                       March 31, 2009         March 31, 2008

Segment Information

The Company follows SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.

The Company believes that during the three months ended March 31, 2009 it operated in one business segment - research, development, and sales of LPG and other fuel for domestic and vehicle consumption, and in one geographical segment
- China, as all of the Company's operations were carried out in China.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value instruments. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 5, 2007 (the Company's fiscal 2008). It is believed that implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have little or no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". SFAS No. 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, "postretirement benefit plans") to fully recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures. SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, and is not expected to apply to the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (fiscal 2008 for the Company) where earlier adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, and timing of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the Company's financial statements.


In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 160, "Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (SFAS No. 160). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) and 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (that is, fiscal 2009 for the Company). Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not expect that this Statement will have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". This Statement interprets Statement 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises" and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of this . . .
