EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends the China Recycling Energy Corporation (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2009. This amendment (the “Amended Report”) is being filed to amend the Annual Report to include certain Part III information. All other items and exhibits contained in the Form 10-K as filed on March 23, 2009 remain unchanged.

This Amended Report does not include the entire Form 10-K.  Except as otherwise expressly stated for the items amended herein, this Amended Report continues to speak as of the date of the Annual Report and has not been updated to reflect events that have occurred since the filing of the Annual Report.  Accordingly, this Amended Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This amendment to our annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Company or Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors (including the risks contained in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 23, 2009),  and any businesses that Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned. 
 
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the  Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this annual report, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan
 
The board of directors of the Company approved the China Recycling Energy Corporation 2007 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”) on November 13, 2007, which permits grants of nonstatutory stock options to all employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or its affiliates.  The 2007 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and by its terms will expire on November 12, 2012.  On November 13, 2007, the Board authorized the issuance of options on all 3,000,000 shares to eligible recipients under the 2007 Plan.  These stock options had a five year term and an exercise price of $1.23 per share.

The recipients of the outstanding stock options forfeited all of the outstanding options as of  June 25, 2008 and new grants of stock options equaling 3,000,000 shares were made on August 4, 2008.  These new stock options were granted with an exercise price of $0.80 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.  The options vested as to 15% on the six-month anniversary of the date of grant; vest 15% on the first anniversary of the date of grant; vest 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant; and vest the remaining 20% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The stock options also become fully vested upon termination without cause, termination for good reason, termination due to death or disability or in the event of a change in control of the Company.  The stock options expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
 
Employment Agreements
 
Certain of our executive officers, including our CEO, have an employment agreement with the Company.  Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, as defined in the agreement, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty pursuant to the employment agreement.

2007 Plan
 
To date, the only awards outstanding under the 2007 Plan are stock options.  Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, recipients have the right to exercise any vested options, in whole or in part, at any time after termination during the remaining term of the option; provided, however, that the Board may specify a shorter period for exercise following termination as it deems reasonable and appropriate.   In the event of the recipient’s termination of employment by the Company without “cause” (as may be defined in an employment agreement), by the recipient for “good reason” (as may be defined in an employment agreement), or by reason of the recipient's death or “disability” (as may be defined in an employment agreement), any portion of the option that has not become vested and exercisable as of the date of the termination of employment shall immediately vest and become exercisable.  The 2007 Plan is more fully described above in the narrative following the Summary Compensation Table.

Audit Fees.  Audit fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were for professional services rendered for audits of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
 
Audit-Related Fees.  Audit-related fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008  and 2007 were for assurance and related services related to the audit and review of our annual financial statements and our quarterly financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
 
The board of directors has determined that the provision of these services is compatible with the maintenance of the independence of Goldman Park Kurland Mohidin.
 
The board of directors has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.  The pre-approval policy is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specific budget.  The services include the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for audit services and audit-related services.

If we need to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for other services, which are not considered subject to the general pre-approval as described above, then the board of directors must approve such specific engagement as well as the projected fees.  If the timing of the project requires an expedited decision, then the Board has delegated to the Chairman the authority to pre-approve such engagement, subject to fee limitations.  The Chairman must report all such pre-approvals to the entire board of directors for ratification at the next meeting.
