LPH was a reverse merger back in 2007 ....
per the 10K -
The Company began operations in July 1995 in the PRC. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 17, 2000 as Tabatha II, Inc. On October 12, 2007, we changed our name to Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited. On October 16, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and issued 69,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding ownership units of Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (Longwei BVI), a British Virgin Islands entity. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited, formerly known as Tabatha II, Inc., did not have any operations and majority-voting control was transferred to the previous owners of Longwei BVI. The transaction required a recapitalization of Longwei BVI. Since Longwei BVI acquired a controlling voting interest, it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (formerly Tabatha II, Inc.) was deemed the legal acquirer.
