ITEM 2.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 
The Reverse Merger
 
During the two years preceding November 13, 2007 Standard Commerce, Inc. was a shell corporation, with no significant assets and no business operations.  On November 13, 2007 Standard Commerce acquired Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel”), a corporation organized under the laws of The People’s Republic of China.  In exchange for Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel, Standard Commerce issued 189,901,500 shares of its common stock, representing 97.46% of the outstanding shares of Standard Commerce.  Subsequently, Standard Commerce, Inc. changed its name to “China Jianye Fuel, Inc.”
 
Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel was founded in April 2004 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China with registered capital of RMB 9 million Yuan (US$1.1 million). The Company is located at 47 Huagong Road, Zhaodong City, Heilongjiang Province, in northeastern China. Zhao Dong Ye Fuel engages in the development, manufacture, and distribution of alcohol based automobile fuel.  The Company’s products are designed to function as a lower-cost, more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional gasoline-based auto fuel
 
Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel was among the first China-based fuel manufacturers to bring to market alcohol-based automobile fuel. Alcohol fuel is an attractive alternative to gasoline for several reasons, including its environmental benefits.  Alcohol-based fuel burns with higher efficiency and significantly lower toxic waste emissions than any lead-free gasoline that meets China’s national GB17930-1999 fuel quality standards. With its average total toxic waste emission level being only 1% of the maximum toxic emission level mandated by the Chinese industry regulators, the quality of alcohol fuel is on par with or exceeds the international fuel quality standards for Type IV lead-free gasoline. In addition, due to the lower costs of the raw materials used in the manufacture process, the average integrated cost of such fuels is only about 4,000-4,150 Renminbi (“RMB”) ($540-560) per ton, lower than the prevailing wholesale price of #93 lead-free gasoline in China by as much as 1,000 RMB ($135) per ton.
 
Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel has, since its formation, been engaged in developing its products and its refinery.  The Company now has a facility capable of producing 300,000 tons of fuel annually, and has developed the core staff needed for full production operations.  The Company is currently capable of producing alcohol-based fuels comparable to lead-free gasoline with octane ratings ranging from #90 to #98. The Company’s products include both ethanol-based fuels (E10, E30, E50, E60, E70, E80 and E85), and methanol-based fuels (M10, M30, M50, M60, M70, M80 and M85), although the primary focus of its business plan is on methanol-based fuels due to their environmental and economic advantages. Recently the Company has also been engaged in research and development of methanol/ethanol blended fuels, including ME80 and ME85.
 
Results of Operations
 
Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel commenced operations in 2004.  Until the current year, however, its activities were essentially developmental.  Its research and development efforts have led to the development of a series of fuel products and the award of several patents.  With funds provided by its Chairman, Jianye Wang, it has developed a state-of-the-art refinery for the production of methanol-based fuels.  And it has organized a staff of engineers, managers and sales professionals that will be able to support its full-scale entry into the fuel market.
 
Until this year the Company’s revenue-producing activities had been incidental to the company’s research and development activities.  Prior to September 30, 2007, Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel sold modest amounts of fuel to a variety of customers, primarily to (a) develop the channels through which it will market when it commences full scale production and (b) introduce new products to those markets for testing and publicity.  In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 this incidental marketing effort generated $541,103 in revenue.  In the most recent fiscal year, which ended on June 30, 2007, Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel suspended most of its revenue-producing activities in order to focus on internal organization activities.  As a result, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007, no revenue was generated – in fact the company incurred negative sales due to a refund granted during the quarter.  Likewise, during the three months ended March 31, 2007 only $6,010 in revenue was generated.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, however, Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel recorded its first significant revenue - $3,449,434.  This occurred because Zhao Dong Jianye Fuel completed a sale and delivery of fuel additives to Zhanjiang Runtong Trading Corp.  In the quarter ended March 31, 2008 we realized an additional $3,249,795 in revenue, almost all of which was the result of a sale of fuel additives to another customer.  These two sales represented approximately 98% of our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  Zhanjiang Runtong Trading Corp. and the other customer are unrelated third parties, and the transactions were the result of arms length negotiation.  The transactions, however, are not characteristic of the Company’s business plan, which contemplates the sale of fuel, with fuel additive transactions as only an occasional ancillary revenue stream.
 
The recent sales of additives were profitable, leading to gross margin of 18% for the quarter and 41% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  Again, however, these sales are not characteristics of the fuel sales that we expect to be the primary business of our Company.  In no prior period, when we were selling small quantities of fuel, did the Company generate any significant amount of gross profit – in the 2007 fiscal year, it generated negative gross profit.  The primary reason for the lack of gross profit is the inefficiency of the small batch processing of fuel that the company is currently engaged in for testing purposes.  Both the primary raw materials and our final products are highly evaporative liquids, whose properties are substantially affected by the atmospheric conditions. In order to minimize storage loss, we must make frequent purchases of raw materials in relatively small quantities. These have led to relatively high unit costs for raw materials.  At the same time, we must deliver our products promptly after production or they are affected by evaporation.  This necessitates shipping methods that are relatively high cost when applied to small quantities of fuel.  Both of these factors made our preliminary operations inefficient and unprofitable, except for our sales of fuel additives.
 
When we commence full scale production, we expect our gross profit margin to be significantly higher than that which is customary for refiners of petroleum-based fuels.  This should occur because the market price of the raw materials for methanol-based fuels (i.e.  methanol and petroleum distillate) are substantially lower than the market price for gasoline.  At current market prices, we believe that we will be able to produce methanol-based fuel for $27 to $40 per ton less than the prevailing cost of refining gasoline with comparable octane levels.  The price advantage can only be achieved, however, when we produce our fuels in quantities that make efficient use of our refinery and ship it in quantities that enable us to obtain wholesale shipping charges.  Those conditions will be achieved only after we obtain the funds necessary to bring our operations up to the full production level.
 
Our selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively modest (4.8% of sales) in the nine months ended March 31, 2008, primarily because almost all of our revenue came from two customers.  When we commence full-scale production, these expenses will increase significantly, primarily due to (a) increased staff required for production and marketing, (b) increased selling expense required to develop and expanded market for our products, and (c) increased depreciation expense.  Currently, we only depreciate the portion of our facility that has been put into active use.  The denominator for our depreciation calculation will increase when our entire facility is engaged in production.
 
During the last two fiscal years, as we organized our business, our net loss remained modest, despite our lack of gross profit.  In fiscal 2007 we realized a net loss of $58,111.  Our net loss for fiscal 2006 was $91,261.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 we recorded net income of $2,449,390 as a result of the sale of fuel additives.  During the same period, however, we realized a net loss of $651,473 in cash from operations, as neither of our major customers has paid any significant portion of the purchase price for the additives it purchased.  The primary factor enabling us to reach our current condition without incurring large losses and to carry on operations with minimal cash flow was the willingness of our shareholders to serve our company for minimal compensation and the fact that our creditors are tolerating an increase in our accounts payable.
 
Our business operates primarily in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars.  The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments.  While our net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; the translation adjustments are added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “accumulated other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $673,122 to our accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our operations to date have been funded primarily by capital contributions and short-term loans from our Chairman, Jianye Wang, which have been adequate to bring us to the point where we are prepared to commence full scale production.
 
Our working capital at March 31, 2008 totaled $6,334,355.  Included in our working capital, however, was $7,508,691 in accounts receivable, almost all of which is owed by Zhanjiang Runtong Trading Corp.  We are not certain of the payment date for that receivable.  Also included in working capital was an advance payment to Qinhuangdao Far East Petroleum Refinery Co., Ltd. in the amount of $1,087,582.  The recipient of this advance payment will be our primary source of petroleum distillate, and we made this payment in accord with Chinese custom, to enable the refinery to expand its production capacity in anticipation of doing a large amount of business with us.  We have, therefore, only a small amount of liquid assets.
 
In order to commence full scale operations, we will need approximately $4,000,000 to purchase raw materials and fund our initial receivables.  On our March 31, 2008 balance sheet, we have property and equipment with a book value of $2,780,529 on which there is no lien.  We expect that some amount of the funds that we require can be obtained by pledging those assets to secure a loan.  The remainder, however, will be obtained from the sale of equity.  To date we have no commitment from any source for either debt or equity financing.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

 


ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Jianye Wang, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008.  Pursuant to Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commission’s rules.  “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on his evaluation, Jianye Wang concluded that the Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of March 31, 2008 for the purposes described in this paragraph.
