City, Yishui County, Shandong Province, PRC.
Longkong was organized with an initial registered capital of
approximately $2.4 million, which was 79.2% owned by Zhang
Shanjiu and 20.8% owned by Zhang Qian, Zhang Shanjiu’s
daughter. Since then the Company experienced several

laws of Gibraltar (“Fortune Valley”) with registered
capital of approximately $967,000. Fortune Valley was a company
that was established on behalf of Zhang, Shanjiu by a third party
trustee in Gibraltar. The shares of Fortune Valley were
held in trust for the benefit of Zhang, Shanjiu, who beneficially
owned the shares of Fortune Valley and had the ability to exercise
control over Fortune Valley. On December 29, 2009,
Fortune Valley sold 100% of the equity interests in Longkong to
LFHK for $1. In December 2010, Longkong’s registered capital
increased to approximately $4.2 million.
Pursuant to the acquisitions described above, the Company acquired
all the equity interests of the subsidiaries under common control
as all of the entities are ultimately controlled by the same
parties (Zhang, Shanjiu and his immediate
family). Accordingly, the financial statements have been
prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in
existence throughout all periods and the acquisitions had occurred
as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the
accompany financial statements.
Nature of operations
The business scope of Longkong is tourism
development. The key business project is a cave named
the “Underground Grand Canyon” that is located in Linyi
City, Yishui County, Shandong Province, PRC. The
Underground Grand Canyon tourist destination, at 6,100 meters
(approximately 3.75 miles), is the longest cave system in
northern China and contains several stalactite and stalagmite
formations, as well as rivers and streams. To date,
approximately 3,100 meters (approximately 2 miles) have been
developed into five entertainment attractions, including: (i) the
“Underground Water Drifting” attraction; (ii) the
“Electric Slide Car” attraction; (iii) the
“Battery Vehicle” attraction; (iv) the “Strop
Ropeway” attraction; and (v) the “Treasure Hunting
Cave”. Revenue is generated from admission tickets, water
drifting attraction fees, rail car fees and other fees and
services, including battery vehicle fees, strop ropeway fees,
treasure hunting cave fees and parking fees. An
admission ticket is for general access to the “Underground
Grand Canyon” tourist destination. Visitors are
charged additional fees for the entertainment attractions in and
around the Underground Grand Canyon.
