Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes of New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "our") for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States ("GAAP").

Forward Looking Statements

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect us and to take advantage of the "safe harbor" protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities laws afford. From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our Company. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, growth of our business and operations, plans and references to future successes, may be considered forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "project," "forecast," "may," "should," "budget," "goal," "expect," "probably" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Many risks and uncertainties may impact the matters addressed in these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we will not update such forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.

Some of the key factors which could cause our future financial results and performance to vary from those expected include:

† The loss of primary customers;

† Our ability to implement productivity improvements, cost reduction initiatives or facilities expansions;

† Market developments affecting, and other changes in, the demand for our products and the introduction of new competing products;

† Availability or increases in the price of our primary raw materials or active ingredients;

† The timing of planned capital expenditures;

† Our ability to identify, develop or acquire, and market additional product lines and businesses necessary to implement our business strategy and our ability to finance such acquisitions and development;

† The condition of the capital markets generally, which will be affected by interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and general economic conditions;

† The ability to obtain registration and re-registration of our products under applicable law;


† The political and economic climate in the foreign or domestic jurisdictions in which we conduct business; and

† Other People's Republic of China (the "PRC") or foreign regulatory or legislative developments which affect the demand for our products generally or increase the environmental compliance cost for our products or impose liabilities on the manufacturers and distributors of such products.

The information contained in this report identifies additional factors that could cause our results or performance to differ materially from those we express in our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions and, therefore, the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements which are included in this report and the exhibits and other documents incorporated herein by reference, our inclusion of this information is not a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts receivable

The Company reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the turnover and adequacy of accounts receivable and adjust its collection strategies.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. The Company compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment 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 operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of: 30 years for building, 10 years for machinery, 5 years for office equipment and 8 years for vehicles.

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations by the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.


Income taxes

The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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.

Foreign currency transactions and comprehensive income (loss)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Transactions occur in Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The unit of RMB is in Yuan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, the FASB approved FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends Statement 141(R) and eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies. Under FSP FAS 141(R), an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the acquirer applies the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and Interpretation 14, "Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss - and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5," to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FAS 141(R)-1.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. It did not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS115-2 and FAS 124-2.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB also approved FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim period financial statements of publicly traded companies and in summarized financial information required by APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting. We are required to adopt this FSP for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. This FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1.


In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R) ("FAS 167"). FAS 167 amends FASB 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. FAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for all interim reporting periods after that. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FAS 167.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $8,384,866, which
represented a decrease of 47.48% from the same period in the prior year. The
decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume and the selling price of
DME and Urea.
