PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 6 and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making an investment decision.  Unless the context otherwise requires, The "Company", "we," "us," and "our," refer to (i) China Infrastructure Construction Corporation; (ii) Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), (iii) Beijing Fortune Capital Management, Ltd. (“BFCM”), (iv) Shaanxi Hongruida Concrete Ltd. (“Hongruida”) and (v) Northern Construction Holdings, Ltd. (“NCH”).

Our Business

China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company”) was organized in Colorado on February 28, 2003. The Company through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), engages in production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. The Company primarily operates through its indirect majority-owned subsidiary, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC.
 
We are committed to conducting our operations with an emphasis on the extensive use of recycled waste materials, the efficient production of our concrete materials with minimal energy usage, dust and air pollution, and our continued development of innovative products, methods and practices.

We are able to meet the stringent environmental and technical needs of a rapidly growing market. The types of projects for which we provide concrete include large express railways, bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, dams, and nuclear reactor infrastructure projects with respect to which some producers are unable to compete due to technical difficulties, and resource and information limitations. Recent projects for which we have acted as the lead concrete and structural materials provider include:

• Beijing Wanjing International Mansion

• Beijing Rainbow City Project

We have also acted as the lead supplier of concrete for a number of projects of the following companies:

• Beijing 5th Gen Semiconductor Company
 
• Beijing Fuli Real Estate Company

• Beijing Tian Yan Garden Real Estate

• Beijing Zhongxin Semiconductor Company

Our Industry

We believe that as its economy has opened and become more developed and vibrant since the 1990s, China plays a more and more important role in the concrete industry as both a producer and user of concrete and concrete products.  China is the world’s largest producer of cement and its output of cement reached up to 1.38 billion tons in 2008 and 1.63 billion tons in 2009. Cement production has grown about 10 percent per year over the past two decades and is now growing even faster to keep up with massive urbanization. Today, China produces roughly half of the total cement in the world, whereas the next three largest producers, India, Japan, and the United States altogether produce less than 20 percent. (Source: Chengdu Xinbotelan Technology Inc.; see www.snsqw.com )

Cement consumption in China is forecast to rise by 6% annually through 2012, reaching 1.8 billion tons, according to a new study, "Cement in China", issued by the Freedonia Group. The study also mentioned that construction contractors will remain the largest market for cement in China, accounting for approximately 32% of all cement consumption in 2012. According to the same study, the ready-mix concrete market will see the strongest growth, rising 9.8% per annum through 2012 to 383 million tonnes. Some of the forecasted growth is projected to result from government regulations banning on-site concrete and mortar mixing as described in more detail under the heading “Business”-“Products and Services” of this prospectus. Demand for cement used in concrete products is expected to grow 5.4% annually through 2012 to 513 million tonnes, driven by the growing popularity of precast concrete with many construction contractors. The government’s continued efforts to modernize the country’s infrastructure is exemplified by such massive projects as the South-North Water Diversion - designed to redirect water to the northern plains from Central and South China. This project, scheduled for completion in 2050, will result in annual cement consumption of over one million metric tons alone.

China accounts for half of all new building activity in the world and rapid expansion is expected to continue. According to the Report of China Cities Competence, (http://www.ce.cn/cysc/cysczh/200803/31/t20080331_15010675.shtml) up to 1 billion people in China are expected to move into Chinese urban areas by 2030.

Residential and non-residential buildings in China are increasingly requiring much more concrete due to, among other reasons, the short supply of wood. China is currently the largest consumption market of cement worldwide at over $200 billion annually. China’s cement consumption will amount to approximately 44% of global demand in 2010 and will be greater than current combined consumption of India and the U.S. by 2010, according to the Freedonia Group. At the present rate, it is presumed that China will continue to be an important player in the global construction materials marketplace for at least the next two decades.

China’s concrete market is considered highly competitive, with over 10,000 providers, of which we estimate that approximately 3,000 are ready mix concrete producers. Global Information Inc. reports that ready-mix concrete companies will benefit from an extremely favorable outlook in China, where large-scale construction projects will require significant amounts of ready-mix concrete. In the Beijing concrete market, for example, we estimate that no competitor has greater than a 10% market share according to the Beijing Concrete Association.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our revenue will decrease if the construction and building material industries experience a downturn, or if the concrete industry in China does not realize an increase in demand at the pace we expect.

Our cement and cement products serve as key components in construction and building projects for a wide range of industries and private and public sector projects.  Therefore, we are subject to the general changes in economic conditions affecting many segments of the economy.  Demand for concrete is typically affected by a number of economic factors, including, but not limited to, interest rates, market and government confidence, political priorities, level of construction of commercial, government and residential projects, and the level of construction financing available. Also, our revenue is dependent upon the cost and availability of raw materials, the cost of labor, increased taxes, and other costs of doing business.  If there is a decline in construction activity in China or a rise in the costs of doing business in China, demand for our concrete products may decline and our revenue will decrease.

Competition in the concrete industry could adversely affect our results of operations.

We operate in local and regional markets in China, and many factors affect the competitive environments we face in any particular market. These factors include the number of competitors in the market, the pricing policies and financial strength of those competitors, the total production capacity serving the market, the barriers to enter the market and the proximity of natural resources, as well as general economic conditions and demand for construction materials within the market. Although we believe our products and quality of service are superior, there is no assurance that existing or new competitors may not receive contracts for which we compete by reason of events and factors beyond our control.

Our growth strategy is capital intensive; without additional capital on favorable terms we may not accomplish our strategic plan.

Our expansion plans are premised upon our raising sufficient capital to timely build or acquire two to three new production plants in the next two to three years to accommodate the increased concrete production needs.  Although we believe that, given our current level of revenue and net income, our management team, and our track record of performance, we may be able to raise sufficient capital to carry out our strategic plan, there can be no assurance that we will do so. Our inability to raise sufficient capital or inability to raise capital on acceptable terms to fund these new production plants would negatively impact our projected revenues and our projected growth.

Long-term collection of accounts receivable and potential bad debts may impose a threat to our operations and expansion.
 
Common among most of the businesses in the concrete industry, we have a large amount of accounts receivable, which accounts for over 50% of the total assets. A substantial majority of our outstanding trade receivables are not secured by any collaterals or credit insurance. While we have procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on our trade and non-trade receivables, there is no assurance that such procedures will effectively limit our risks of bad debts and avoid losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and business expansion.

 
5

 

We depend heavily on key personnel, and turnover of key employees and senior management could harm our business.

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Rong Yang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  They also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and support personnel for our operations.  If we lose a key employee, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer.  Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team.  We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the manufacturing, technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

We expect approximately 60% of our sales revenues will be derived from our ten largest customers in 2011 and any reduction in revenues from any of these customers would reduce our revenues and net income.

In fiscal year 2010, we derived 72.8% of our revenue from our ten largest customers.  In fiscal year 2009, we derived 48% from our ten largest customers.  The loss of one of our major customers could decrease our revenues and net income.

Leased properties and production lines may be terminated due to unexpected reasons.

We presently have a ten-year lease, signed in 2006, for our Beijing production base and have built our offices and manufacturing facilities on this site. We lease land for our Xi’an production facility. While we believe this lease is secure for us, under our laws, the lease could be terminated for unexpected reasons.  
 
Our intellectual property rights in our proprietary admixture products may be hard to protect, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.

One of our strategies focuses on the development, use and sale of specialty admixture concrete products.  We currently use such products in our own operations. These proprietary admixture products are protected by trade secrets only, and are not patented. Accordingly, we cannot ensure that a competitor may not be able to duplicate and commercialize our proprietary products. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and given the relative unpredictability of China’s legal system and potential difficulties enforcing a court judgment in China, there is no guarantee litigation would result in an outcome favorable to us. Further, any such litigation could be costly and divert management away from our core business. Our financial results could be negatively affected if we cannot protect or timely develop our admixture products.

Our continuing rapid expansion could significantly strain our resources, management and operational infrastructure which could impair our ability to meet increased demand for our products and hurt our business results.

To accommodate our anticipated growth and to build additional production plants, we will need to expend capital resources and dedicate personnel to implement and upgrade our accounting, operational and internal management systems and enhance our record keeping and contract tracking system.  If we cannot successfully implement these measures efficiently and cost-effectively, we will be unable to satisfy the demand for our products, which will impair our revenue growth and hurt our overall financial performance.

We may lose business to competitors who underbid us, and we may be otherwise unable to compete favorably in our highly competitive industry.
 
Our competitive position in a given market depends largely on the location and operating costs of our plants and prevailing prices in that market.  Generally, our products are price-sensitive. Our prices are subject to changes in response to relatively minor fluctuations in supply and demand, general economic conditions and market conditions, all of which are beyond our control. Because of the fixed-cost nature of our business, our overall profitability is sensitive to minor variations in sales volumes and small shifts in the balance between supply and demand. Price is the primary competitive factor among suppliers for small or simple jobs, principally in residential construction. However, timeliness of delivery and consistency of quality and service, as well as price, are the principal competitive factors among suppliers for large or complex jobs. Concrete manufacturers like us generally obtain customer contracts through local sales and marketing efforts directed at general contractors, developers and homebuilders. As a result, we depend on local relationships.  We generally do not have any long-term sales contracts with our customers.
 
Our competitors range from small, owner-operated private companies to subsidiaries or operating units of large, vertically integrated manufacturers of cement and aggregates. Our vertically integrated competitors generally have greater manufacturing, financial and marketing resources than we have, providing them with a competitive advantage. Competitors having lower operating costs than we do or having the financial resources to enable them to accept lower margins than we do will have a competitive advantage over us for projects that are particularly price-sensitive. Competitors having greater financial resources or less financial leverage than us may have a competitive advantage because of their greater financial flexibility to invest in new mixer trucks, build plants in new areas or pay for acquisitions.
 
Our contracts may require us to perform extra or change order work, which can result in disputes and adversely affect our working capital, profits and cash flows.

Our contracts may require us to perform extra or change order work as directed by the customer even if the customer has not agreed in advance on the scope or price of the work to be performed. This process can result in disputes over whether the work performed is beyond the scope of the work included in the original project plans and specifications or, if the customer agrees that the work performed qualifies as extra work, the price the customer is willing to pay for the extra work. Even when the customer agrees to pay for the extra work, we may be required to fund the costs of such work for a lengthy period of time until the change order is approved and funded by the customer.

We may incur material costs and losses as a result of claims if our products do not meet regulatory requirements or contractual specifications.
 
Our operations involve providing products that must meet building code or other regulatory requirements and contractual specifications for durability, stress-level capacity, weight-bearing capacity and other characteristics. If we fail or are unable to provide products meeting these requirements and specifications, material claims may arise against us and our reputation could be damaged. We expect that in the future there may be claims of this kind asserted against us. If a significant product-related claim or claims are resolved against us in the future, that resolution may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Our net sales attributable to public infrastructure projects could be negatively impacted by a decrease or delay in governmental spending.
 
Our business depends in part on the level of governmental spending on infrastructure projects in our markets. Reduced levels of governmental funding for public works projects or delays in that funding could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The timing of bid activity may be negatively affected by the economy, municipal budgets and availability of financing.

Severe weather can reduce construction activity and lead to a decrease in demand for the Company’s products in areas affected by adverse weather conditions.
 
The Company’s operations and the demand for a number of the Company’s products are affected by weather conditions in the markets where the Company operates. Sustained adverse weather conditions such as rain, extreme cold or snow could disrupt or curtail outdoor construction activity which in turn could reduce demand and the quality of our products and have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial performance or prospects.
 
Certain of our existing stockholders have substantial influence over our company, and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders.

Mr. Rui Shen is the owner of approximately 45.7% of our common stock. He has given the voting power of approximately 87.3% of his shares to Mr. Rong Yang, CEO and Chairman of the Company, and approximately 12.7% to Mr. Xiao, a former director. As a result, Mr. Yang and Mr. Xiao may have significant influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares.

Environmental claims or failure to comply with any present or future environmental regulations may require us to spend additional funds and may harm our results of operations.

Our business is subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that affect our operations, facilities and products in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe that we are in compliance with all material environmental, health and safety laws and regulations related to our products, operations and business activities. Although we have not suffered material environmental claims in the past, the failure to comply with any present or future regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us, suspension of production, cessation of our operations or even criminal sanctions.   The enacting of new regulations could also require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses.

We have limited insurance coverage and do not carry any business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance for our manufacturing facilities or insurance that covers the risk of loss of our products in use.

We presently only carry insurance for the protection of our workers. We do not carry business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance, or insurance for any other aspect of our business. If we should suffer from natural or other unexpected disaster, business or government litigation, or any uncovered risks of operation, our financial condition may be significantly impaired.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K.  In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to and report on the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls if the company's public float is over $75 million. These requirements do not currently apply to us with respect to the filing of an auditor’s report. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. There can be no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors, if and when the respective regulations become applicable to us.  In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries.  While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments.  In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below.  If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.

Chinese regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.  Our subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their after tax profits according to Chinese accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds.  Currently, our subsidiaries in China are the only sources of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends.  If they do not accumulate sufficient profits under Chinese accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by Chinese accounting standards, we will be unable to pay any dividends.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

The Company faces the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business that the Company may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

The PRC economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, the Company believes that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While the Company believes that this trend will continue, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect the Company’s interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, there is no assurance that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social life.

The PRC laws and regulations governing the Company’s current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing the Company’s business, or the enforcement and performance of the Company’s arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. The Company and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, the Company is required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty.

The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. The Company cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on the Company’s businesses.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect the Company’s customers, demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s business.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC and all of its revenue is generated from sales in the PRC. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, the Company cannot assure investors that such growth will continue. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC could materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation.  During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%.  These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation.  High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, reduce demand, materially increase our costs, and thereby harm the market for our products and our Company.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of an investment in the Company and may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

The Company receives all of its revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.  Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi.

The fluctuation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect investments in the Company and the value of our securities.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. As the Company relies principally on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. For example, to the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars it receives from an offering of its securities into Renminbi for the Company’s operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert its Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Renminbi that the Company converts would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to the Company’s income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

Recent PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) Regulations regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents have undergone a number of changes that may increase the administrative burden the Company faces. The failure by the Company’s stockholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent the Company from being able to distribute profits and could expose the Company and its PRC resident stockholders to liability under PRC law.

In the event that the proper procedures are not followed under the SAFE Circular 75, the Company could lose the ability to remit monies outside of the PRC and would therefore be unable to pay dividends or make other distributions. The Company’s overseas and cross border investment activities could be restricted, and its ownership structure affected. The Company’s PRC resident stockholders could be subject to fines, other sanctions and even criminal liabilities under the PRC Foreign Exchange Administrative Regulations promulgated January 29, 1996, as amended.  All of this could adversely affect our business and our prospects.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could hurt our business.

Although we are currently not subject to these regulations, we anticipate to become subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Because the Company’s principal assets are located outside of the United States and the Company’s officers and some of the directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce their rights in the U.S. based on U.S. federal securities laws against the Company and the Company’s officers and directors or to enforce U.S. court judgments against the Company or them in the PRC.

Beijng Concrete is located in the PRC and substantially all of its assets are located outside of the United States; it may therefore be difficult or impossible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against the Company or its officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise.

The Company may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

The PRC historically has not adopted a western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. The Company may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, the Company may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet western standards.

 
11

 

PRC regulations also involve complex procedures for acquisitions conducted by foreign investors that could make it more difficult for us to grow through acquisitions.

Pursuant to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, effective as of September 8, 2006 and revised as of June 22, 2009, additional procedures and requirements were established that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (“MOFCOM”) be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise, or that the approval from MOFCOM be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies and special anti-monopoly submissions for parties meeting certain reporting thresholds. We may grow our business in part by acquiring other companies engaged in the production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. Complying with the requirements of the new regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

In addition, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman Mr. Yang, under certain call option agreements between Mr. Yang and Mr. Shen, has an option to purchase 5,113,384 shares of common stock held by Mr. Shen over the course of approximately two years in installments upon achievement of certain performance milestones by the Company. While it is the case that our PRC counsel believes that this arrangement is lawful under PRC laws and regulations, there are, however, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the current or future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and legality of such call options. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel.

Our PRC stockholders are required to register with SAFE; their failure to do so could cause us to lose our ability to remit profits out of the PRC as dividends.
 
SAFE has promulgated several regulations, including Circular No. 75 (“Circular 75”), which became effective in November 2005, requiring PRC residents, including both PRC legal person residents and PRC natural person residents, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of the PRC for the purpose of equity financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in the Circular 75 as an “offshore special purpose company.” PRC residents that have established or controlled an offshore special purpose company, which has finished a round-trip investment before the implementation of Circular 75, are required to register their ownership interests or control in such “special purpose vehicles” with the local offices of SAFE. Under Circular 75, the term “PRC legal person residents” as used in Circular 75 refers to those entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person residents” as used in Circular 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. The term “special purpose vehicle” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents or PRC entities for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such PRC residents or PRC entities in onshore companies, and the term “round-trip investment” refers to the direct investment in PRC by PRC residents through “special purpose vehicles,” including without limitation, establishing foreign invested enterprises and using such foreign invested enterprises to purchase or control (by way of contractual arrangements) onshore assets. The term “control” includes the possession of the operating rights and decision making rights in the “special purpose vehicles” through trust, voting trust, holding shares on behalf of others, or other methods.

 
12

 

In addition, any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend his/her/its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch upon (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity not involving a round-trip investment, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments or, already organized or gained control of offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before Circular 75 was promulgated must register with their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.
 
Under Circular 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under the Circular 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.
 
To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, SAFE issued Circular No. 106 (“Circular 106”) on May 9, 2007, which is guidance that SAFE issued to its local branches with respect to the operational process for SAFE registration that standardized more specific and stringent supervision on the registration relating to the Circular 75. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents in a timely manner. If these shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report such failure to the local SAFE authorities and, if the PRC subsidiaries do report the failure, the PRC subsidiaries may be exempted from any potential liability to them related to the stockholders’ failure to comply. The failure of these shareholders and/or beneficial owners to timely amend their SAFE registrations pursuant to the Circular 75 and Circular 106 or the failure of future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the Circular 75 and Circular 106 may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries ability to distribute dividends to our company or otherwise adversely affect our business.
 
These regulations apply to our stockholders who are PRC residents. In the event that our PRC-resident stockholders do not follow the procedures required by SAFE, we could (i) be exposed to fines and legal sanctions, (ii) lose the ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries or distribute dividends to our company, (iii) face liability for evasion of foreign-exchange regulations, and/or (iv) lose the ability to consolidate the financial statements of our PRC subsidiaries under applicable accounting principals.
 
Mr. Yang, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, may be required to register with the competent SAFE branch prior to exercise of his call option. However, it is not clear whether Mr. Yang’s call option will be deemed as a way of control of the Company. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the Circular 75 on the call option.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).  The OTCBB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ.  The quotation of our shares on the OTCBB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock, could cause high volatility and price fluctuations, and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

There is currently limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

There is currently limited trading market on the OTCBB for our common stock, and there is no assurance that one will develop or be sustained.  We have applied to have our common stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, but we cannot ensure that our common stock will be accepted for listing on such exchange.

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under the Colorado law and the Company’s By-Laws, and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.

Under Colorado law, a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, a corporation may purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents for any liability incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person.

The effect of these provisions may be to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director, officer, employee or agent for breach of fiduciary duty. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.

If we do not meet the performance targets specified in our financing documents, we could be required to issue shares of common stock to certain of our investors, which would result in dilution to your ownership interest in the Company.

On October 16, 2009, we consummated a private placement of a total of approximately 2,564,108 shares of our common stock (“2009 Private Placement”) to a number of investors (“2009 Investors”) pursuant to a subscription agreement dated October 16, 2009, which was amended on March 5, 2010. Under the subscription agreement, as amended (“2009 Subscription Agreement”), we will be required to issue shares of common stock to the 2009 Investors if certain performance thresholds are not met.  If our after tax net income (“Targeted Net Income”) for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 is less than $18,000,000 (which shall be increased to $19,800,000 in the event that we do not consummate a public offering on or before the date on which we file our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011), we will be required to issue to the 2009 Investors additional shares of common stock representing a fraction of shares issued in the 2009 Private Placement calculated using the percentage of variation of our actual after tax net income to the Targeted Net Income for such period (the “Adjustment Percentage”) (for example, if our after tax net income for fiscal 2011 were $16,200,000, which is a variation of 10% of the respective Targeted Net Income, we would be required to issue an aggregate of 256,410 shares of common stock to the 2009 Investors). On March 11, 2010, we consummated a private placement of a total of approximately 1,282,091 shares of our common stock (“2010 Private Placement”) to a number of investors. Under the 2009 Subscription Agreement, we will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to the 2009 Investors who invested in the 2010 Private Placement, if the Targeted Net Income thresholds are not met.  The number of such additional shares shall equal the Adjustment Percentage times the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by the 2009 Investor in the 2010 Private Placement, minus the Adjustment Percentage times the number of shares acquired by such investor in the 2009 Private Placement that have been sold by such investor as of the date on which the Company releases its respective net income data in a Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Any issuance of equity securities to satisfy our obligations pursuant to the 2009 Subscription Agreement as described above will result in dilution to our existing shareholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.

As of August 27, 2010, there were issued and outstanding (i) 12,930,620 shares of our common stock, (ii) warrants to purchase 1,504,160 shares of our common stock, (iii) options to purchase 740,000 shares of our common stock of which options to purchase 300,000 shares will become exercisable in December 2010 and the balance will become exercisable in February and March 2011. 4,141,449 shares of our common stock are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144. In addition to these shares, we currently have obligation to register 1,282,091 shares of our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the trading market could adversely affect market price of our common stock.

Our Board of directors adopted the China Infrastructure Construction Corporation 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) on February 12, 2010. All our officers and key employees, and directors of, and consultants including those of our subsidiaries and affiliates, who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of our business, are eligible for participation in the 2010 Plan.  One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,150,000) shares of our common stock have been authorized and reserved for the 2010 Plan, subject to an increase of up to 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock, and any shares that may become available for issuance under awards under the 2010 Plan as a result of expiration or forfeiture. We may issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards under the 2010 Plan.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, because we are a holding company, we rely entirely on dividend payments from Beijing Concrete, who may, from time to time, be subject to certain additional restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us. PRC accounting standards and regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits, a portion of which must be set aside to fund certain reserve funds. Our inability to receive all of the revenues from Beijing Concrete’s operations may in turn provide an additional obstacle to our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in the future. Additionally, because the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC, shortages in the availability of foreign currency may occur, which could restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends.

 
17

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. If in the future we are able to pay dividends and determine it is in our best interest to do so, such dividends will be paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any future financing instruments and other factors the Board deems relevant.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Overview

China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company”, “China Infrastructure”, “CHNC”, “We”, “Our”) was organized in Colorado on February 28, 2003. The Company through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), engages in production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. The Company primarily operates through its indirect majority-owned subsidiary, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC.

Beijing Concrete currently has four production facilities. One facility is located in the Nanhaizi area, on the west side of the Yizhuang economic development zone in Beijing, one is in Shidu, a suburban area of Beijing, one is in Xi’an West New High-tech Zone, and another one is located at the Tangshan harbor, about two hundred kilometers from Beijing. The plant located in Xi’an was put into operation at the end of March 2010.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2009

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 was $73,998,463 as compared to $66,778,296 for the same period last year, an increase of 10.81%. The increase in net revenue is mainly attributable to our geographic expansion. We had set up new factories in Xi’an and Shidu. The sales volume of concrete products increased approximately 28.61% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in net revenue is also attributable to technical services we provided to a Tianjin concrete producer from late March 2010. These services generated approximately $1.26 million in net revenue. Since March 2010, we have also leased stone and sand equipment from a supplier. Starting from April 2010, all sand and stone produced by this equipment were exclusively supplied to us. This contributed approximately $0.90 million to our net revenue. We also have less sales commission accrued to offset sales revenue for the year ended May 31, 2010 than 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 was $55,960,792 as compared to $53,776,934 for the same period last year, an increase of 4.06%. The increase in cost of goods is attributable to the increase of sales due to the geographic development of our business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 was $18,037,671, an increase of approximately 38.7%, as compared to $13,001,362 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase of sales due to geographic development of our business, our business expansion into technical service, and vertical integration with one sand and stone vendor.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 was 24.38%, compared to 19.47% for the same period last year. The increase of the gross profit margin is mainly because technical service provided a higher margin, and the integration with one sand and stone company lowered the cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 were $31,323,026 as compared to $1,931,333 for the same period last year, an increase of $29,391,693, or approximately 1,521.83%. The increase of the selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased professional expenses as a public company. A one-time non-cash compensation expense of $27,422,242 and a non-cash stock option expense of $199,003 were included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2010. 

Operating Income (Loss)

Our operating loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 was $13,285,355, a decrease of $24,355,384, or approximately 220.01%, as compared to $11,070,029 in operating income for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the $27,422,242 one-time non-cash compensation expense and $199,003 non-cash stock option expense included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2010.

Income Taxes

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, our business operations were solely conducted by our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC and we are governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws.  PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. In accordance with the Income Tax Laws, a PRC domestic company is subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%.

However, Beijing Concrete, our PRC subsidiary, is considered by the respective tax authorities a resource multipurpose utilization enterprise, which qualifies it for an exemption from income tax until December 31, 2010.

Net Income (loss) Attributable To China Infrastructure Construction Corporation

Net loss was $13,434,410 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, compared to net income of $10,461,209 in the last fiscal year, a decrease of $23,895,619, or approximately 228.42%. The decrease was primarily due to the $27,422,242 one-time non-cash compensation expense and a $199,003 non-cash stock option expense included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,102,879. We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our project contracts, the progress of our contract execution, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $10,208,535 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, a decrease of $12,486,437, or 548.16%, as compared to net cash of $2,277,902 provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. The decrease of net cash used in operating activities was due to the increase of trade accounts receivable. The trade accounts receivable increased because of the growing sales. We typically had long-term annual and multi-year contracts with our major customers. We entered into varying payment terms with our customers ranging from payment before delivery, payment on delivery or up to 1 year after the project completion. As of May 31, 2010, trade accounts receivable with aging over twelve months old amounted to $339,034, or only 0.63% of total trade accounts receivable. We collected approximately $5,200,000 accounts receivable from June 1, 2010 to Aug. 30, 2010.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,015,685 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, an increase of $1,640,600, or 69.08%, compared to $2,375,085 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. Acquisitions of plant, properties and equipment were the main contributors to the increase of net cash used in investing activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14,408,077 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, an increase of $14,284,216, or 11,532.46%, compared to $123,861 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the sale of stock by the Company to investors resulting in net proceeds of $13,234,406 and receipt of a bank loan of $1,319,760.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue recognition

The Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of concrete pumping service and consulting service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or incentive given to customers.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our products delivered to customers would be checked on site by customers and, once the products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice. There is no warranty issue after the delivery.
 
Reward or incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our products therefore the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in our income statement.
 
The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”).  The Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

BUSINESS
Overview

China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company”) was organized in Colorado on February 28, 2003. The Company, through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), engages in production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. The Company primarily operates through its indirect majority-owned subsidiary, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC.

 
21

 

Corporate History

The Company was organized in Colorado on February 28, 2003 as a limited liability company under the name “Fidelity Aircraft Partners LLC,” and on December 16, 2004 converted itself into Fidelity Aviation Corporation by filing a Statement of Conversion and Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State. At that time we were engaged in the business of salvaging rotable parts and systems from airframes and selling them to the aviation industry. In 2008, we began to pursue an acquisition strategy, whereby we sought to acquire an undervalued business with a history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for growth.

On October 8, 2008, the Company consummated a share exchange transaction pursuant to that certain Share Exchange Agreement, as a result of which Northern Construction Holdings, Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company (“NCH”) became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Beijing Fortune Capital Management, Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“BFCM”), a 95% owned subsidiary of NCH, became our indirect majority-owned subsidiary. The remaining 5% equity interest in BFCM is held by Beijing Xingyuqing Tech Co., Ltd., controlled by Mr. Bingchuan Xiao, a former director of the Company. BFCM owned 99.5% of the equity interest in Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), which enabled us to acquire the business and substantially all of the assets of Beijing Concrete. The remaining 0.5% in Beijing Concrete is owned by Mr. Rong Yang, one of the original founders of Beijing Concrete and our current chief executive officer and director. For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition with NCH as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. Following the share exchange, we evaluated the future market for our aircraft parts business and resolved not to pursue this line of business any further.

On January 15, 2010, Beijing Concrete increased its registered capital from RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million) to RMB 30 million (approximately $4.4 million) and BFCM increased its investment in Beijing Concrete accordingly. Its share capital increased from RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million). As a result, BFCM owns 99.67% of Beijing Concrete from January 15, 2010.

On February 1, 2010, Beijing Concrete formed a subsidiary, Shaanxi Hongruida Concrete Ltd. (“Hongruida”) and contributed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to its capital. Beijing Concrete is the sole shareholder of Hongruida. Hongruida was organized to implement the 10-year strategic cooperative agreement with one of the Company’s major clients, China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd (“CRCG”). Under the Agreement, the Company and CRCG will jointly manage the concrete mixing stations to be operated by Hongruida. CRCG will provide the cement for manufacturing the concrete mix in such concrete mixing stations, and will be able to purchase the concrete mix at discounted prices. Also, in accordance with the Agreement, each party will lease certain equipment to the concrete mixing stations.  The Company and CRCG will share 75% and 25% of the annual profits of such concrete mixing stations in Xi’an. Hongruida commenced its operations at the end of March 2010.

Effective August 24, 2009, the Company changed its name from Fidelity Aviation Corporation to China Infrastructure Construction Corporation.

Our current corporate structure is set forth in the following diagram:


Recent Developments

On September 28, 2009, the Company effectuated a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, with no par value (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Upon the Reverse Stock Split, ten (10) shares of the outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one (1) share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split, however, did not alter the number of shares the Company is authorized to issue, but only reduced the number of shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. Any fractional share issued as a result of the reverse split was rounded up.

On October 14, 2009, to provide incentives to the Company’s management and to adjust the Company’s capital structure, the Company issued to Rui Shen, the majority shareholder of the Company, an aggregate of 7,031,344 shares of common stock (after taking into account the 1-for-10 reverse stock split which took effect on September 28, 2009).
 
On October 16, 2009, the Company entered into and consummated the sale of securities pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with a number of investors, providing for the sale to the investors of an aggregate of approximately 2,564,103 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,000,000 (or $3.90 per Share). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase 153,846 shares of Common Stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share. Additionally, the Company issued to a financial advisor in the PRC 288,963 shares of common stock. Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company agreed to deliver additional shares of common stock to the investors on a pro rata basis for no additional consideration in the event that the Company’s after tax net income for each of the fiscal years ending May 31, 2010 and 2011 is less than $14,000,000 and $18,000,000, respectively, subject to certain adjustments (such as exclusion of non-cash charges and expenses required to be recognized by the Company under the United States generally accepted accounting principles), which number of shares would be calculated using the percentage of variation between the actual net income and the target net income.

 
23

 

On March 5, 2010, the Company and the investors in the October 2009 private placement (the “2009 Investors”) entered into an Amendment to the Subscription Agreement dated October 16, 2009. The Amendment modified certain covenants to which the Company had previously agreed pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, including exemption of the private placement described below from certain restrictions on subsequent offerings.

Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the securities issued in the October 2009 private placement (the “Registrable Shares”), if at anytime after December 31, 2010 not all of the Registrable Shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. Such registration statement shall be filed within 45 days after receipt of a written demand from the 2009 Investors representing not less than 50% of the then outstanding Registrable Shares. The 2009 Investors also have piggy-back registration rights exercisable after December 31, 2010 with respect to the Registrable Shares that may not be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144.

In consideration of the Amendment, the Company agreed to issue to the 2009 Investors warrants to purchase in the aggregate approximately 1,281,083 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Company also agreed for the after tax net income target for fiscal year 2011 to be increased to $19.8 million from $18.0 million if the Company does not complete a public offering on or before the date on which it releases its 2011 net income data in a Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to deliver additional shares of common stock to the 2010 Investors who invest in the private placement described below ("2010 Private Placement") on a pro rata basis for no additional consideration in the event that the Company’s after tax net income for each of the fiscal years ending May 31, 2010 and 2011 is less than $14,000,000 and $18,000,000 (or $19,800,000 as applicable) respectively subject to certain adjustments (such as exclusion of non-cash charges and expenses required to be recognized by the Company under the United States generally accepted accounting principles), which number of shares should be equal to the percentage of variation between the actual net income and the target net income (the “Adjustment Percentage”). The number of such additional shares shall equal the Adjustment Percentage, times the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by the 2009 Investor in the 2010 Private Placement, minus the Adjustment Percentage times the number of shares acquired by such investor in the October 2009 private placement which have been sold by the investor as of the date on which the Company releases its respective net income data in a Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

On March 11, 2010, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated March 5, 2010 with a number of investors, providing for the sale to the investors of an aggregate of approximately 1,282,091 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,000,000 (or $3.90 per Share). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued to the placement agent a warrant to purchase 46,154 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and paid a transaction fee of $240,000. Additionally, the Company issued to a finder a warrant to purchase 23,077 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and paid a transaction fee of $120,000.

Our Business

Through our indirect subsidiary Beijing Concrete, which has been engaged in the concrete business since January 2002, we are operating as a producer of advanced ready-mix concrete materials headquartered in Beijing, China. The Company specializes in the production of ready-mix concrete and other types of concrete for developers in the construction industry.  The Company currently is certified by the Chinese Ministry of Construction to produce certain types of concrete (model C20 to model C60) for residential and commercial developers as well as for industrial companies. The Company currently is applying for certification to produce all types of concrete.

The Company currently owns two stationary factories and two mobile concrete mix stations, which in total have eight ready-mix concrete batching plants. In addition, it owns 5 concrete transport pumps, 46 truck transit mixers and 3 bulk cement transport vehicles.  All pump vehicles and trucks are installed with GPS tracking systems, which ensure the quality control and safe delivery of the concrete mix.

The Company currently has an annual output capacity of approximately 3.5 million cubic meters of concrete. In fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company’s revenues amounted to $73.3 million and $66.8 million, respectively.  All of the Company’s products have been certified by the ISO9001-2000 Certification Quality System and by the Chinese Ministry of Construction Beijing Branch Certification Center with respect to Integrated Certification System which includes Quality Management System, Environmental Management System and Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

Over the past six years, we have successfully expanded our operations from a single ready-mix concrete factory in Beijing to additional production in the cities of Tangshan and Xi’an. Currently, the Company has four main concrete factories. Of these, one factory has two sets of ready-mix HZS120 series concrete mixing towers and one set of Betomix 3.0A-R/DW series mixing towers, one factory has one set of HZS120 series mixing towers, one factory has two sets of HZS120 series mixing towers, and one factory has two sets of HZS180 series mixing towers. One facility is located in Beijing’s Nanhaizi area, on the west side of the Yizhuang Economic Development Zone in southern Beijing. Another facility is located in Shidu, on the outskirts of Beijing. We also had two facilities, both of which are mobile stations, in the Tangshan Development Zone, about two hundred kilometers east of Beijing. We combined these two facilities into one to better utilize our resources. Our newest facility is located in Xi’an, central China. The Company also completed the construction of a stationary concrete factory in Tangshan in May 2009. However, this factory has not commenced operation and it has not passed the first review by the Tangshan Commission of Construction due to a particular feature of the subsoil that the foundation of the facility is built upon. The Company has recently entered into an agreement for the sale of the Tangshan plant to a third party for RMB25,974,631 (approximately $3,819,799). The purchase price shall be paid in installments over four years starting from September 1, 2010. If there is a delay in payments for more than 10 days, we will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 4% of the purchase price. If the delay lasts for more than 10 days, we will have the right to terminate the agreement and will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 20% of the purchase price.

The Company is committed to conducting its operations with an emphasis on the efficient production, management and innovation of our concrete products. In particular, we produce “Green Concrete” by extensively using recycled industrial waste and minimizing the energy consumption and the dust and air pollution. We believe that we are able to meet the stringent environmental and technical needs of a rapidly growing market in China. The types of projects for which we provide concrete include large express railways, bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, and dams. Many competitors are not able to participate in such projects due to technical requirements and the limitations of funding and information.

Our Industry

We believe that as its economy has opened and become more developed and vibrant since the 1990s, China plays a more and more important role in the concrete industry as both a producer and user of concrete and concrete products.  China is the world’s largest producer of cement and its output of cement reached up to 1.38 billion tons in 2008 and 1.63 billion tons in 2009. Cement production has grown about 10 percent per year over the past two decades and is now growing even faster to keep up with massive urbanization. Today, China produces roughly half of the total cement in the world, whereas the next three largest producers, India, Japan, and the United States altogether produce less than 20 percent. (Source: Chengdu Xinbotelan Technology Inc.; see www.snsqw.com )

Cement consumption in China is forecast to rise by 6% annually through 2012, reaching 1.8 billion tons, according to a new study, "Cement in China", issued by the Freedonia Group. The study also mentioned that construction contractors will remain the largest market for cement in China, accounting for approximately 36% of all cement consumption in 2012. According to the same study, the ready-mix concrete market will see the strongest growth, rising 9.8% per annum through 2012 to 383 million tons. Some of the forecasted growth is projected to result from government regulations banning on-site concrete and mortar mixing as described in more detail under the heading “Business”-“Products and Services” of this prospectus. Demand for cement used in concrete products is expected to grow 5.4% annually through 2012 to 513 million tons, driven by the growing popularity of precast concrete with many construction contractors. The government’s continued efforts to modernize the country’s infrastructure is exemplified by such massive projects as the South-North Water Diversion - designed to redirect water to the northern plains from Central and South China. This project, scheduled for completion in 2050, will result in annual cement consumption of over one million metric tons alone.

China accounts for half of all new building activity in the world and rapid expansion is expected to continue. According to the Report of China Cities Competence, (http://www.ce.cn/cysc/cysczh/200803/31/t20080331_15010675.shtml) up to 1 billion people in China are expected to move into Chinese urban areas by 2030.

Residential and non-residential buildings in China are increasingly requiring much more concrete due to, among other reasons, the short supply of wood. China is currently the largest consumption market of cement worldwide at over $200 billion annually. China’s cement consumption will amount to approximately 44% of global demand in 2010 and will be greater than current combined consumption of India and the U.S. by 2010, according to the Freedonia Group. At the present rate, it is presumed that China will continue to be an important player in the global construction materials marketplace for at least the next two decades.

China’s concrete market is considered highly competitive, with over 10,000 providers, of which we estimate that approximately 3,000 are ready mix concrete producers, Global Information Inc. reports that ready-mix concrete companies will benefit from an extremely favorable outlook in China, where large-scale construction projects will require significant amounts of ready-mix concrete. In the Beijing concrete market, for example, we estimate that no competitor has greater than a 10% market share according to the Beijing Concrete Association.

According to a recent article in the Economic Observer Newspaper China, the Chinese government has reviewed its investment priorities under the 4-trillion-yuan (USD $586 billion) stimulus package introduced in 2008, with more emphasis given to social welfare projects, rural development, and technology advancement.

China's top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), unveiled a breakdown (see chart below) of the revised stimulus package spending during a news conference on March 6, 2009.


Public infrastructure development constitutes the biggest portion – USD $222.7 billion, or nearly 38% of the total Stimulus Package. The projects to be undertaken by the Chinese government include railway, road, irrigation, and airport construction, for which we can provide concrete.

Other than the Chinese Central Government’s USD $586 billion stimulus funds, provincial governments are anticipated to invest another USD $1.5 trillion over the next five years. More than half of the total investment is for infrastructure development.

As part of the Eleventh Fifth Year Plan, the PRC Government had earmarked $730 billion prior to the stimulus plan for the expansion of the rapid railway system.  Some of the details include:

 
·
The national rail network is set to grow by 41,000 km (50%) by 2020.
 
·
RMB 5 trillion (USD $730 billion) government spending plan.
 
·
Expected to consume 120 million tons of cement.

As a result of the Chinese Government Stimulus Package, the demand for cement and concrete in China is expected to significantly increase in the next several years.

Products and Services

We specialize in “ready-mix concrete”, a concrete mixture made at our production facilities. Ready-mix concrete is mixed on demand and is shipped to worksites by concrete mixer trucks. Currently 20% of the total concrete produced in China is ready-mixed concrete, and 80% is mixed on the construction sites.  In developed countries, 80% of the total concrete produced is ready mix concrete. This sector in the concrete market is growing at a fast rate, largely due to the Chinese government’s implementation of Decree #341 in 2004, which bans on-site concrete production in over 200 cities across China, with the goal of reducing environmental damages from on-site cement mixing and improving the quality of cement used in construction. The use of ready-mix concrete minimizes worksite noise, dirt and congestion. Additionally, most additives used in ready-mix concrete are environmentally safe. We use at least 34% recyclable components in our green concrete products.

Green Concrete is the concrete that utilizes industrial waste, or other recycled materials as part of its raw materials, such as the ash reclaimed from the power-plant, the grounded waste steel slag powder, and the waste ore from steel mills.  Green Concrete has better performance and properties than regular concrete in terms of endurance and strength, among other things.

Since the Green Concrete uses large amounts of industrial waste, the Company’s products are cost effective and environmentally friendly.

Features of “Green Concrete” include:
 
 
·
Reduced cement consumption
 
·
Reduced costs of concrete
 
·
Reduced costs of construction
 
·
Reduced energy consumption
 
·
Improved attributes (i.e. strength, endurance, and bonding)

We have a product portfolio that serves the diverse needs of our expanding customer base and its unique construction and infrastructure projects. While we mainly specialize in ready-mix concrete formulations from controlled low-strength material to high-strength concrete, specifically formulated to cater into the respective requirement of each project, we provide both industry standard and highly innovative products, including: Green Concrete, Self-densifying Concrete, Lightweight Aggregate Pumpable Concrete, Heavy Concrete, Macro-void Pervious Concrete, C60 Mass Concrete, Color Concrete, etc.

Manufacturing Process

Introduction
 
Concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates (sand & rock). The paste is usually composed of cement and water, coating the surface of the fine sand and coarse aggregates such as rocks and binding them together into a rock-like mass known as concrete.

Aggregates comprise approximately 61 percent of the total volume of concrete. The type and size of the aggregate mixture depends on the thickness and purpose of the final concrete product. A continuous gradation of particle sizes is desirable for efficient use of the paste. In addition, aggregates should be clean and free from any matter that might affect the quality of the concrete.
 
 
The key to achieving a strong, durable concrete rests on the careful proportioning and mixing of the ingredients. Concrete mixture that does not have enough paste to fill all the voids between the aggregates will be difficult to place and will produce rough, honeycombed surfaces and porous concrete. A mixture with an excess of cement paste will be easy to place and will produce a smooth surface; however, the resulting concrete will be more likely to crack and be uneconomical.

A properly proportioned concrete mixture will possess the desired workability for the fresh concrete and the required durability and strength for the hardened concrete. Typically, a mixture is by volume approximately 16 percent cement, 61 percent aggregates and 18 percent water. Entrained air bubbles in many concrete mixtures may also take up another 3 percent.
   
The character of concrete is determined by the quality of the paste. The strength of the paste, in turn, depends on the ratio of water to cement. The water-cement ratio is the weight of the mixing water divided by the weight of the cement. High-quality concrete is produced by lowering the water-cement ratio as much as possible without sacrificing the workability of fresh concrete. Generally, using less water produces a higher quality concrete provided the concrete is properly placed, consolidated and cured.

Besides portland cement, the most widely used type of cement around the world, concrete may contain other cementitious materials including (i) fly ash, a waste byproduct from coal burning electric power plants; (ii) ground slag, a byproduct of iron and steel manufacturing; and (iii) silica fume, a waste byproduct from the manufacture of silicon or ferro-silicon metal. The concrete industry uses these materials, which would normally have to be disposed in land-fill sites, to the advantage of concrete. The materials participate in the hydration reaction and significantly improve the strength, permeability and durability of concrete.

Admixtures are generally products used in relatively small quantities to improve the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. They are used to modify the rate of setting and strength development of concrete, especially during hot and cold weather. The most common is an air-entraining agent that develops millions of tiny air bubbles in concrete, which imparts durability to concrete in freezing and thawing exposure. Water reducing admixtures enable concrete to be placed at the required consistency while minimizing the water used in the mixture, thereby increasing strength and improving durability. A variety of fibers are incorporated in concrete to control cracking or improve abrasion and impact resistance. Most common admixtures we use include pumping agent, superplasticizer, and expansive admixtures.

Hydration

After the aggregates, water, and the cement are combined, the mixture remains in a fluid condition for about four to six hours during which we use the agitator trucks to transport, place and finish the concrete in its final location. We have around 94 truck drivers to operate and deliver the concrete to customers mainly in the Beijing area, Tangshan, Hebei Province, and Xi’an area. We intend to hire more drivers to accommodate our growing business.

Quality Control Laboratories

The proportioning of a concrete mix design should result in an economical and practical combination of materials to produce concrete with the properties desired for its intended use, such as workability, strength, durability and appearance. We have laboratories on the site of each plant, performing quality control tests throughout our manufacturing process to ensure that our products are accustomed to the needs of the customers. During various stages of the ready-mix concrete manufacturing, the labs inspect the raw materials, such as the sand, rocks and water, and determine the proportion of the ingredients of the concrete in accordance with the specifications received from the customers, before the mixing of aggregates and paste. Right after the mixing process, the labs will also perform tests on the fluid concrete with respect to its minimum cement content, air content, slump, maximum size of aggregate, strength, etc. The Company, over the years, has developed some expertise in selecting the proportions based on previously developed guidelines and experience. We have established methods for selecting the proportions for concrete for each batch and producing environmental friendly concrete with best performance:
 
 
·
We utilize fly ash, waste ore, slag or other cementitious materials, which enhance concrete properties, to supplement our cement. We aim to have the least amount of water that can result in a mixture that can be easily placed, consolidated and finished.
 
 
·
Our labs also make sure the concrete aggregates are required to meet appropriate specifications and in general should be clean, strong and durable.
 
 
·
We apply some air-entraining and water reducing admixtures into the ready-mix concrete to adjust the rate of setting and strength development of our concrete.

The Company tests the absolute volume of the concrete to determine the safety factor, through which the Company reduces the costs of cement while still meeting the criteria of the product specifications. In addition, the Company applies advanced statistical and orthogonal (two perpendicular right angles) design techniques in test and data processing, which is a system design property that facilitates the feasibility and compactness of complex designs. These processes allow the Company to produce a more cost efficient “Green Concrete” while maintaining the product’s quality.

Sales and Marketing

Our marketing efforts are geared towards advancing the Company as the supplier of choice for helping to build China’s most modern and challenging projects. We are constantly seeking ways to raise our profile and leverage additional publicity. To this end, we plan to expand the Company’s presence at leading construction industry events and in periodicals to build on its successful reputation. The primary goal when expanding into new markets is to reinforce the sales effort by promoting positive testimonials and success stories from the Company’s strong base of high profile clients.

The marketing strategy of the Company relies primarily on direct sales and we usually develop our market through the following three means: (i) by our sales department, which consists of 5-6 employees in each station, conducts the market promotion and development and also collects the feedback from the customers on the Company’s products; (ii) by the salesmen, currently around 10 people, with whom we contract to expand our client base; and (iii) by references from our current customers and our raw material suppliers. Due to positive prior experience with the government projects and extensive work with the PRC government on such projects in the past, we believe that we will continue to receive access to such projects in the future.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

We rely on third-party suppliers of the raw materials to manufacture our products. The main components of our products include cement, fly ash, slag, admixture, sand and gravel. Our primary suppliers of each are:
 
Raw Material
  
Suppliers
     
Cement
 
Tianjin Zhenxing Cement Factory, Hebei Wushan Cement Factory, Hebei Luan Xian Maopai Cement Factory
     
Fly ash
 
Beijing Xingda Fly Ash Co., Baolu Tongda Co., Zhongxin Shenyuan Fly Ash Co.
     
Slag

We believe we are not dependent on any of these suppliers and will be able to replace them, if necessary, without material difficulties. In particular, we do not expect to experience a shortage of cement, the main material for manufacturing our product, since it is usually readily available and we have long-term contracts with three large cement manufacturers to ensure the constant supply.

Our major supplier of truck transit mixers and concrete transport pumps is Sanyi Zhonggong Ltd. (“Sanyi Zhonggong”), which is the largest concrete production equipment manufacturer in the world. We have purchased over US$5.2 million of equipment from Sanyi Zhonggong. Pursuant to a Strategic Agreement with Sanyi Zhonggong dated December 3, 2009,  we agreed to use Sanyi Zhonggong Ltd. as our preferred equipment supplier, and Sanyi Zhonggong in turn will provide discounts on the purchase prices of the equipment, 24/7 customer service, as well as training services to our employees. For potential construction projects undertaken by Sanyi Zhonggong in China, we will be recommended as their preferred ready-mix concrete provider.  In addition, Xiamen XGMA Machinery Co., Ltd., the major supplier of our forklifts, intends to form a similar strategic cooperation relationship with us.

Competition

Competitive Environment

Our principal market, Beijing, is considered highly competitive. It has enjoyed stronger economic growth and a higher demand for construction than other regions of China. There are approximately 130 concrete mixture stations in the Beijing area. According to our estimates, no single supplier has greater than a 10% market share, which results in this industry being highly segmented. We currently have an estimated market share of 3% in the ready-mix concrete market in Beijing.

In the Beijing market, we compete with national, regional and local construction companies.  Some of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than us. Our main competitors include Beijing Heng Kun Concrete Center, Beijing Jian Gong Group Concrete Center, and Beijing Gaoqing Concrete Company. In 2009, the Beijing government issued a series of policies to encourage concrete manufacturers to upgrade their transportation vehicles to those models that are environmentally friendly. Vehicles that cannot meet the environmentally friendly criteria will be restricted in going into the 5th ring of Beijing.  Therefore, concrete manufacturers that cannot afford replacing their truck transit mixers with the environmentally friendly models will be banned from delivering the concrete mix and eventually be eliminated from the concrete industry.

We compete primarily on the basis of quality, technological innovation, customer service, and pricing of our products. We win projects which are awarded through a competitive bidding process based on our competitive pricing. Projects are usually awarded to the lowest bidder, if other conditions are the same, although other factors such as shorter delivery schedules are also taken into consideration.

Our Competitive Advantages

Comparing us with other companies in the concrete industry in Beijing and in the Tianjin area, we believe that the Company has the following competitive advantages:

(1)        Environmentally friendly products.
 
We produce all types of concrete products including specialty concrete for varied industry uses. Capitalizing on our research and development, we extensively use recycled materials such as fly ash (from coal fired power plants) and mining waste in our production with the share of these materials of approximately 34% of other raw materials used by us. In doing so, we not only help reduce environmental wastes but we also increase our product quality. Because we successfully apply this technology to our products, we have obtained tax exemptions and other incentives from government organizations. In accordance with a policy by China’s State Development and Reform Commission (the “SDRC”), if the percentage of the industrial wastes components in a company’s concrete mixture exceeds 30%, such company may enjoy the exemptions from income tax and franchise tax in China.

(2)        Strict and effective quality management system.

We have developed an effective quality management system that covers all aspects of our operations, including planning, budgeting, purchasing and production. In every step, not only do we have fully trained, experienced and skilled employees that are working in concert to ensure our product’s quality and timely delivery, we also implemented the computer-controlled Concrete Enter Price Management System (CEM 2008 System) to coordinate and oversee the manufacturing, bookkeeping and shipping process.  From signing contracts to finishing a project, we have a quality follow up supervising team to make sure that our concrete matches our clients’ engineering designs exactly. All pump vehicles and truck transit mixers are installed with GPS tracking systems, which ensure the quality control and safe delivery of the concrete mix.

Our quality supervisory staff on each construction site is responsible for finished product quality. For every previous project completed, we have earned a 100% pass rate. We believe that this effective management puts us at the top of the industry standard and has allowed the Company to achieve 5% more in profit for every cubic meter of concrete we produce and deliver.

 
33

 

(3)        We also have lower production costs by smart outsourcing and quality engineering.
 
More than 80% of concrete costs come from raw materials, such as cement, sands, fly ash, and gravel. The costs of materials have a direct impact on our production costs. We compare several suppliers’ quotes before we make final purchases. This ensures that we have the lowest prices for all of our raw materials.
 
In addition, the percentage of each of the raw materials needed to produce concrete is also a big factor that affects our production costs. Our research laboratory led by top professional engineers conducts extensive experiments to ensure that we have excellent mixing formulas while achieving the required quality. We believe the scientific formula of each type of concrete reduces our costs to levels 3% to 5% lower than our competitors.

We believe our tremendous track record in the industry, effective management, solid clientele base, lower production costs and higher than the industry average profit margin puts us at the top in the industry.

(4) Maintenance of key relationships

We have successfully built long-term cooperative relationships with China’s top construction companies through our services. Our reputation and good record will help us gain new business from existing customers and new customers.

For instance, on December 3, 2009, the Company entered into a Strategic Agreement with Sanyi Zhonggong Ltd. (“Sanyi Zhonggong”), our major equipment supplier, whereby the Company agreed to choose Sanyi Zhonggong Ltd. as its preferred equipment supplier, and Sanyi Zhonggong in return will provide discounts on the purchase prices of the equipment as well as training services to the Company’s employees. For potential construction projects undertaken by Sanyi Zhonggong in China, we will be recommended by Sanyi Zhonggong as their preferred ready-mix concrete provider.

Growth Strategy

(1) Focus on The Infrastructure Industries and Develop New Relationships. Our sales people will focus on developing relationships with the government, general contractors, architects, engineers, and other potential sources of new business in our target markets. We will actively monitor and analyze China’s infrastructure construction plan to ensure that we direct our resources at the center of the developing area and have the opportunities to bid on the potential business at the earliest time.

(2) Capacity Expansion via Building New Plants. We will add three to five batching plants during the fiscal year 2011 in order to meet the requirements of existing contracts and anticipated demand. We plan to add more stationary and mobile stations in 2011 as part of our long-term expansion plans due to very attractive margins and high return on investment.

(3) Cooperation with other concrete companies. We will consider cooperating with other concrete companies in certain area or for certain projects. The cooperation will include but not be limited to lease, co-construct a new plant and profit sharing, or an M&A transaction. We believe that by cooperating with local concrete companies, we will save capital and time compared with building a new plant by ourselves. And it will also help us to develop our relationship with local customers and suppliers.

Research and Development

Companies engaged in production of construction materials are under extreme pressure to respond quickly to industry demands with new designs and product innovations that support rapidly changing technical demand and regulatory requirements. We devote a substantial amount of attention to the research and development of advanced construction materials that meet the demands of project specific needs while striving to lead the industry in value, materials and processes. We have sophisticated in-house R&D and testing facilities, a highly technical onsite team, the access to highly specialized market research, the cooperation with a leading research institution, an experienced management and advisory board, and close relationships with leading concrete materials experts. A total of 20 employees are currently working for our R&D department. Our research and development expenses amounted to approximately $55,723 and $43,200 for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 
34

 

Our research laboratory led by a team of 20 engineers and technicians conducts extensive experiments to ensure that we have excellent mixing formulas while achieving the required quality. This includes production of innovative concrete admixtures to supply the company. Admixtures are chemical raw materials used for production of concrete. Admixture is also one of the key materials that affect the quality of concrete. Through technology innovation, our admixture products help the company produce environmentally friendly and energy-saving concrete.

We intend to conduct research in developing new raw materials. Adoption of new techniques and materials will help us reduce our cost of production and will help improve our product quality.

We have dedicated ourselves to testing and research of ready-mix concrete.  We have been developing and researching the raw material mixture ratios, which are crucial to the quality of our products, by our advanced testing facilities and the 17 years of testing experience of our technical and engineering staff.

On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into a three-year agreement with the Institute of Building Materials, a subsidiary of the China Academy of Building Research ("CABR") (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Institute of Building Materials will provide its technical research, development and support exclusively to us for an annual payment of RMB 350,000 (or US$51,000). The Institute of Building Materials will also provide training courses to our employees. We are allowed to list the Institute of Building Materials as our technological partner in its marketing materials, and the Institute of Building Materials has agreed to use its relationships and brand influence in the construction industry to assist us in its business development.

Intellectual Property

We do not have any patents or other registered intellectual property. Currently, we are in the process of applying to register two of our trademarks. To protect our unregistered intellectual property, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our officers and employees in our R&D Department. A confidentiality agreement will cover three years after such officer or employee leaves the Company, and any breach of the agreement will subject such person to liquidated damages of RMB 10,000 and any other losses incurred by the breach.

Environmental Matters
 
We are required to comply with environmental protection laws and regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Construction and the State Environmental Protection Administration in China. Some specific environmental regulations apply to sealed transportation of dust materials and final products, non-open storage of sand and gravel, as well as reduction of noise and dust pollution on production site and encouraged use of waste materials. In 2009, the Beijing government issued a series of policies to encourage concrete manufacturers to upgrade their transportation vehicles to those models that are environmentally friendly. Vehicles that cannot meet the environment friendly criteria will be restricted in going into the 5th ring of Beijing.

 In addition, the governmental regulatory authorities conduct periodic inspections on us. We have met all the requirements in the past inspections. The Company has set up and documented its environment management system according to GB/T24001-2004 Guidance. The Company has also invested: 1) $29,411 for powder silo dust equipment, which reduces the release of dust when delivering the concrete mix; 2) $14,705 for sand and gravel separators, which recycle and reuse the discharged concrete; 3) $14,705 for 3 sedimentation tanks to recycle the water in the manufacturing process; and 4) $294,117 for a warehouse to store sand and gravel to reduce the air pollution.  Because of our dedication to be environmentally friendly, we are one of the companies in the industry that have been awarded the honor of “Green Concrete Producer” by the PRC government.

Seasonality
 
Our manufacturing operations are primarily located in northeastern China, which is cold during the winter months. During such time, we are able to manufacture our advanced ready-mix concrete material; however, many construction projects operate on an abbreviated work schedule, if at all.

Regulations

Our products and services are subject to regulation by governmental agencies in the PRC, Beijing City and Hebei Province. Business and company registrations, along with the products, are certified on a regular basis and must be in compliance with the laws and regulations of the PRC and provincial and local governments and industry agencies, which are controlled and monitored through the issuance of licenses. All of the Company’s products have passed the ISO9001-2000 Certification Quality System and Integrated Certification System including Quality Management System Certification, Environmental Management System Certification and Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification issued by the Beijing Zhong Jian Xie Certification Centre.

We have been in compliance with all registrations and requirements for the issuance and maintenance of all licenses and certificates required by the applicable governing authorities, including the Ministry of Construction and the Beijing Administration of Industry & Commerce. The Ministry of Construction awards Level II and Level III qualifications to concrete producers in the PRC construction industry, based on criteria such as production capacity, technical qualification, registered capital and capital equipment, as well as performance on past projects. Level II companies are licensed to produce concrete of all strength levels as well as special concrete, and Level III producers are licensed to produce concrete with strength level C60 and below.

Our employees in China participate in a state pension plan organized by PRC municipal and provincial governments. We are currently required to contribute to the plan at the rate of 20% of the average monthly salary.

In addition, we are required by PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance, and we believe that we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

Insurance
 
We maintain worker's employee insurance for our employees. We provide social welfare insurance for our employees. We also provide life insurance for our officers. Other than the above mentioned, we do not maintain any other business, liability or key employee insurance.

Company Information

Our principal executive offices are located at Room 1906, Shidai Caifu Tiandi Building, 1 Hangfeng Road, Fengtai District, Beijing, China 100070, and our telephone number is 011-86-10-5809-0110.   

Property

Currently, we do not own any land, as the PRC does not permit private land ownership. The Company is leasing land for its Beijing Yizhuang factory from Beijing Guang Da Yuan Logistic Company.  In our Beijing stationary factory, we currently lease two parcels of land for this factory. One lot is approximately 22,538 square meters. The term of the lease is 10 years and will expire in 2018. The rent is approximately $49,000 per annum. We also built on site our own buildings and offices of approximately 600 square meters. The other lot is approximately 14,673 square meters. The term of the lease is 1 year and can be renewed. The rent is $32,353 per annum. We use this lot to store our raw materials. These two lots are located next to each other.

At our Beijing Shidu station, we are using approximately 5,000 square meters of land provided by our customer, Jiangxi Jinggang Roads & Bridges (Group) Co., Ltd., which is constructing Zhangzhou Highway. We are in the process of setting up the batching plants on such land to supply the concrete mix to the highway construction projects, and do not pay rent for such land.  We anticipate operating at this site for two more years.

In our recently combined Tangshan Caifeidian mobile station, we are using approximately 8,000 square meters of land provided by our customer, China Construction Second Engineering Bureau, Ltd., which is constructing a highway in the Tangshan area. Because we set up the batching plants on such land to supply the concrete mix to the on-going projects, we do not pay rent for such land.  We anticipate operating at this site for one more year.  

For the Xi’an factory, we leased the land lot of 106,667 square meters from the local government for a term of 15 years. The lease will expire in 2024. The annual rent for the land lot is RMB 441,741 (or approximately US$65,000).

We believe that all our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition and are suitable and adequate for our business. 

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
The following are the officers and directors of the Company as of the date of this prospectus. Some of our officers and directors are residents of the PRC. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon them or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against them in the PRC.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

We intend to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.

It is not uncommon for PRC private companies in northeastern China to have base salaries as the sole form of compensation. The base salary level is established and reviewed based on the level of responsibilities, the experience and tenure of the individual and the current and potential contributions of the individual. The base salary is compared to the list of similar positions within comparable peer companies and consideration is given to the executive’s relative experience in his or her position.  Base salaries are reviewed periodically and at the time of promotion or other changes in responsibilities.

In March 2010, our board of directors established a compensation committee comprised of independent directors. The compensation committee will perform periodically a strategic review of the compensation program for our executive officers to determine whether it provides adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and whether it adequately compensates our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives.  Those companies may or may not be public companies or companies located in the PRC or even, in all cases, companies in a similar business.

2010 Stock Incentive Plan

In February 2010, we adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). All officers and key employees, directors of, and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible for participation in the 2010 Plan.  One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,150,000) shares of the Company’s common stock have been authorized and reserved for the 2010 Plan, subject to an increase of up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, and any shares that may become available for issuance under awards under the 2010 Plan as a result of expiration or forfeiture. The Company may issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 plan is administered by our Compensation Committee.

The purpose of this loan was compliance with the PRC currency regulations. The loan was extended by our Hong Kong subsidiary.
 
Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

As we increase the size of our board of directors and gain independent directors, we expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.”  For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” will be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000.  Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this policy.  A related person will be any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of our common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors) for consideration and approval or ratification.  Management’s presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.

To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders.  In considering related-person transactions, our board of directors will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

 
·
the risks, costs and benefits to us;

 
·
the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

 
45

 

 
·
the terms of the transaction;

 
·
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

 
·
the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally.

We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.

 
The following table provides information concerning beneficial ownership of our capital stock as of August 27, 2010 by:

 
·
each stockholder, or group of affiliated stockholders, who owns more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock;

 
·
each of our named executive officers;

 
·
each of our directors; and

 
·
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The following table lists the number of shares and percentage of shares beneficially owned based on 12,930,620 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 27, 2010.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally includes voting power and/or investment power with respect to the securities held. Shares of Common Stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 27, 2010 or issuable upon conversion of convertible securities which are currently convertible or convertible within 60 days of August 27, 2010 are deemed outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants or convertible securities for purposes of computing the number of shares and percentage of shares beneficially owned by that person, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons or entities named have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

Rule 144

The SEC has recently adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 and apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months is entitled to sell its securities provided that (1) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, (2) we are subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (3) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 
·
1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding; or

 
·
the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144. The selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

 
General
 
The following is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the common stock purchased by the investor pursuant to this offering. As used in this discussion, “we”, “our” and “us” refers to China Infrastructure Construction Corporation. This discussion assumes that an investor will hold each share of our common stock issued and purchased pursuant to this offering as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to an investor in light of that investor’s particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address (a) U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as estate or gift tax laws, (b) state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, or (c) the special tax rules that may apply to certain investors, including, without limitation, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, tax-exempt entities, governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, or investors that acquire, hold, or dispose of our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, wash sale, constructive sale or conversion transaction or other integrated transaction. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of entities treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or of persons who hold our common stock through such entities. The tax treatment of a partnership and each partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. Thus, partnerships, other pass-through entities and persons holding our common stock through such entities should consult their own tax advisors.

 
50

 

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, its legislative history, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial opinions, and published rulings and procedures of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), all as in effect on the date of this prospectus. These authorities are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained.
 
As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. person” means a person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a U.S. person, and the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock (other than an entity that is treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. person.
 
THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS, AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.
 
U.S. Holders
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
A U.S. holder will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any dividend paid on the shares of our common stock. A distribution on such shares will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under “Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.
 
Any dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will qualify for the dividends-received deduction if the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied. With certain exceptions, if the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010, after which the tax rate applicable to dividends is scheduled to return to the tax rate applicable to ordinary income.
 
If PRC taxes apply to any dividends paid to a U.S. holder on our common stock, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and such U.S. holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC.

 
51

 

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock
 
A U.S. holder must treat any gain or loss recognized upon a sale, taxable exchange, or other taxable disposition of our common stock as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. A U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock so disposed of. Long-term capital gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder will be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15 percent for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010, after which the maximum long-term capital gains tax rate is scheduled to increase to 20 percent. The deduction of capital losses is subject to various limitations.
 
If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our common stock by a U.S. holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and such U.S. holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC.
 
Non-U.S. Holders
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
In general, any distribution we make to a non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless we are treated as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described below, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to shares of our common stock that is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividend, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under “Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.
 
There is a possibility that we may qualify as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. corporation is an 80/20 company if at least 80 percent of its gross income earned directly or from subsidiaries during an applicable testing period is “active foreign business income.” The 80 percent test is applied on a periodic basis. If we qualify as an 80/20 company, a percentage of any dividend paid by us generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the amount of any such dividend subject to withholding tax in this circumstance.

Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if certain income tax treaties apply, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30 percent (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

 
52

 

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock
 
A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock, unless:
 
 
·
the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder);

 
·
the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

 
·
we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock disposed of, and, generally, in the case where our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the common stock disposed of, at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock disposed of. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.
 
Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first and third bullet points above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30 percent rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate). Any U.S. source capital gain of a non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses during the taxable year of the disposition) generally will be subject to a flat 30 percent U.S. federal income tax (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).
 
In connection with the third bullet point above, we generally will be classified as a USRPHC if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50 percent of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we currently are not a USRPHC, and we do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC (although no assurance can be given that we will not become a USRPHC in the future).
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
We generally must report annually to the IRS and to each holder the amount of dividends and certain other distributions we pay to such holder on our common stock and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those distributions. In the case of a non-U.S. holder, copies of the information returns reporting those distributions and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Information reporting is also generally required with respect to proceeds from the sales and other dispositions of our common stock to or through the U.S. office (and in certain cases, the foreign office) of a broker.

In addition, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, currently at a rate of 28 percent, generally will apply to distributions made on our common stock to, and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by, a non-corporate U.S. holder who:
 
 
·
fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

 
·
is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or

 
53

 

 
·
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.
 
A non-U.S. holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting (other than with respect to distributions, as described above) and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s or a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.
 
 
The following discussion summarizes the material PRC income tax considerations relating to the ownership of our common stock following the consummation of this offering.
 
Resident Enterprise Treatment
 
On March 16, 2007, the Fifth Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (“EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as “resident enterprises” and “non-resident enterprises.” Pursuant to the EIT Law and its implementing rules, enterprises established outside China whose “de facto management bodies” are located in China are considered “resident enterprises” and subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on global income. According to the implementing rules of the EIT Law, “de facto management body” refers to a managing body that in practice exercises overall management control over the production and business, personnel, accounting and assets of an enterprise.
 
The EIT Law and the interpretation of many of its provisions, including the definition of “resident enterprise,” are unclear. It is also uncertain how the PRC tax authorities would interpret and implement the EIT Law and its implementing rules. Our management is substantially based in the PRC and expected to be based in the PRC in the future, although two of our executive officers and one of our directors are not PRC nationals. It remains uncertain whether the PRC tax authorities would determine that we are a “resident enterprise” or a “non-resident enterprise.”
 
Given the short history of the EIT Law and lack of applicable legal precedent, it remains unclear how the PRC tax authorities will determine the PRC tax resident treatment of a non-PRC company such as us. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of tax consequences could follow. First, we could be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our global taxable income. Second, the EIT Law provides that dividend income between “qualified resident enterprises” is exempt from income tax. It is unclear whether the dividends we receive would constitute dividend income between “qualified resident enterprises” and would therefore qualify for tax exemption.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, there has not been a definitive determination as to the “resident enterprise” or “non-resident enterprise” status of us. However, since it is not anticipated that we would receive dividends or generate other income in the near future, we are not expected to have any income that would be subject to the 25% enterprise income tax on global income in the near future. We will consult with the PRC tax authorities and make any necessary tax payment if we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we are a resident enterprise under the EIT Law, and if we were to have income in the future.

Dividends From PRC Operating Companies
 
If we are not treated as resident enterprises under the EIT Law, then dividends that we receive may be subject to PRC withholding tax. The EIT Law and the implementing rules of the EIT Law provide that (A) an income tax rate of 25% will normally be applicable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) have establishments or premises of business inside the PRC, and (ii) the income in connection with their establishment or premises of business is sourced from the PRC or the income is earned outside the PRC but has actual connection with their establishments or places of business inside the PRC, and (B) an income tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends payable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or (ii) have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC.
 
As described above, the PRC tax authorities may determine the resident enterprise status of entities organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions, on a case-by-case basis. We are a holding company and substantially all of our income may be derived from dividends. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law and the dividends paid to us are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends received may be subject to the income tax described in the foregoing paragraph.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, there has not been a definitive determination as to the “resident enterprise” or “non-resident enterprise” status of us. As indicated above, however, we are not expected to be paid any dividends in the near future. We will consult with the PRC tax authorities and make any necessary tax withholding if, in the future, we were to be paid any dividends and we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we are a non-resident enterprise under the EIT Law.
 
Dividends that Non-PRC Resident Investors Receive From Us; Gain on the Sale or Transfer of Our Common Stock
 
If dividends payable to (or gains recognized by) our non-resident investors are treated as income derived from sources within the PRC, then the dividends that non-resident investors receive from us and any such gain on the sale or transfer of our common stock, may be subject to taxes under PRC tax laws.
 
Under the EIT Law and the implementing rules of the EIT Law, PRC income tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or (ii) have an establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent that such dividends have their sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of common stock by such investors is also subject to 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC.
 
The dividends paid by us to non-resident investors with respect to our common stock, or gain non-resident investors may realize from sale or the transfer of our common stock, may be treated as PRC-sourced income and, as a result, may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 10%. In such event, we also may be required to withhold a 10% PRC tax on any dividends paid to non-resident investors. In addition, non-resident investors in our common stock may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10% on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common stock after the consummation of the offering if such non-resident investors and the gain satisfy the requirements under the EIT Law and its implementing rules. However, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, we would not have an obligation to withhold income tax in respect of the gains that non-resident investors (including U.S. investors) may realize from the sale or transfer of our common stock from and after the consummation of this offering.
 
If we were to pay any dividends in the future, we would again consult with the PRC tax authorities and if we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we must withhold PRC tax on any dividends payable by us under the EIT Law, we will make any necessary tax withholding on dividends payable to our non-resident investors. If non-resident investors as described under the EIT Law (including U.S. investors) realized any gain from the sale or transfer of our common stock and if such gain were considered as PRC-sourced income, such non-resident investors would be responsible for paying 10% PRC income tax on the gain from the sale or transfer of our common stock. As indicated above, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, we would not have an obligation to withhold PRC income tax in respect of the gains that non-resident investors (including U.S. investors) may realize from the sale or transfer of our common stock from and after the consummation of this offering.

Penalties for Failure to Pay Applicable PRC Income Tax
 
Non-resident investors in us may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10% on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common stock after the consummation of this offering if such non-resident investors and the gain satisfy the requirements under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, as described above.
 
According to the EIT Law and its implementing rules, the PRC Tax Administration Law (the “Tax Administration Law”) and its implementing rules, the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises (the “Administration Measures”) and other applicable PRC laws or regulations (collectively the “Tax Related Laws”), where any gain derived by non-resident investors from the sale or transfer of our common stock is subject to any income tax in the PRC, and such non-resident investors fail to file any tax return or pay tax in this regard pursuant to the Tax Related Laws, they may be subject to certain fines, penalties or punishments, including without limitation: (1) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return and present the relevant information in connection with tax payments, the competent tax authorities shall order it to do so within the prescribed time limit and may impose a fine up to RMB 2,000, and in egregious cases, may impose a fine ranging from RMB 2,000 to RMB 10,000; (2) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return or fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable, the non-resident investor shall be required to pay the unpaid tax amount payable, a surcharge on overdue tax payments (the daily surcharge is 0.05% of the overdue amount, beginning from the day the deferral begins), and a fine ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid amount of the tax payable; (3) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return or pay the tax within the prescribed time limit according to the order by the PRC tax authorities, the PRC tax authorities may collect and check information about the income items of the non-resident investor in the PRC and other payers (the “Other Payers”) who will pay amounts to such non-resident investor, and send a “Notice of Tax Issues” to the Other Payers to collect and recover the tax payable and impose overdue fines on such non-resident investor from the amounts otherwise payable to such non-resident investor by the Other Payers; (4) if a non-resident investor fails to pay the tax payable within the prescribed time limit as ordered by the PRC tax authorities, a fine may be imposed on the non-resident investor ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid tax payable; and the PRC tax authorities may, upon approval by the director of the tax bureau (or sub-bureau) of, or higher than, the county level, take the following compulsory measures: (i) notify in writing the non-resident investor’s bank or other financial institution to withhold from the account thereof for payment of the amount of tax payable, and (ii) detain, seal off, or sell by auction or on the market the non-resident investor’s commodities, goods or other property in a value equivalent to the amount of tax payable; or (5) if the non-resident investor fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable or surcharge for overdue tax payment, and can not provide a guarantee to the tax authorities, the tax authorities may notify the frontier authorities to prevent the non-resident investor or their legal representative from leaving the PRC.

 
We have entered into an underwriting agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC with respect to the shares subject to this offering. Subject to certain conditions, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from us 4,500,000 shares of our common stock.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriter to purchase the shares offered hereby is subject to certain conditions and that the underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the shares of common stock offered hereby if any of the shares are purchased.

 
56

 

If the underwriter sells more shares than the above number, the underwriter has an option for 30 days to buy up to an additional 675,000 shares from us at the public offering price, less the underwriting commissions and discounts, to cover these sales.

The underwriter proposes to offer to the public the shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the underwriting agreement at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus. After the shares are released for sale to the public, the underwriter may change the offering price and other selling terms at various times.

Hunter Wise Securities, LLC, an advisor in connection with this offering, will receive a fee of $      ($      if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), which is included in the underwriting discounts and commissions in the above table.
 
Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments which the underwriter or such other indemnified parties may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter, upon successful completion of this offering, for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this offering, including the fees and disbursements of the underwriter’s legal counsel, not to exceed $50,000. We estimate the total expenses of the offering to us, excluding underwriting commissions and discounts, to be $            .

The underwriter and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us for which services they have received, and may receive in the future, customary fees. No such services were performed or will be performed during the 180-day period preceding the filing of this prospectus supplement or the 90-day period following the consummation of this offering.

Our common stock is traded on OTC.BB under the symbol “CHNC.”

In connection with the offering the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

 
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 
57

 

 
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 
Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
 
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

This prospectus may be made available in electronic format on Internet sites or through other online services maintained by the underwriter participating in the offering or by its affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s or our website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter or by us is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter in its capacity as an underwriter and should not be relied upon by investors.

China Infrastructure Construction Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the Company) as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Infrastructure Construction Corporation as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of operations

China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (“China Infrastructure”), formerly Fidelity Aviation Corporation, was organized on February 28, 2003 as Fidelity Aircraft Partners LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Fidelity LLC”). On December 16, 2004, Fidelity LLC converted itself into Fidelity Aviation Corporation by filing a Statement of Conversion and Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State. Fidelity was formed to purchase large commercial (transport category) jet airframes, salvage the usable aircraft parts and components from them and sell the parts and components. The Board of Directors evaluated the future market for aircraft parts business and resolved not to pursue this line of business anymore.

On October 8, 2008, China Infrastructure entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated under a Share Exchange Agreement with Northern Construction Holdings, Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company (“NCH”) and its shareholder pursuant to which China Infrastructure issued 1,200,000 (12,000,000 pre-reverse split) shares of  China Infrastructure common stock (the “Share Exchange”) in exchange for all issued and outstanding common stock of NCH.

The Share Exchange resulted in (i) a change in control of China Infrastructure with the shareholder of NCH owning approximately 78% of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of China Infrastructure, (ii) NCH becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Infrastructure, and (iii) appointment of certain nominees of the shareholder of NCH as directors and officers of China Infrastructure and resignation of John Schoenauer as director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of China Infrastructure.

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing Fortune Capital Management Co., Ltd. (“BFCM”), a 95% owned subsidiary of NCH, became our indirect majority-owned subsidiary.  Also as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd., (“Beijing Concrete”), the operating company, and a 99.5% owned subsidiary of BFCM, also became our indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a capital transaction where the acquiring corporation issued stock for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is similar in form to a reverse acquisition, except that goodwill or other intangibles are not recorded.  All references to NCH common stock have been restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of China Infrastructure common shares.

On January 15, 2010, Beijing Concrete increased its registered capital from RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million) to RMB 30 million (approximately $4.4 million) and BFCM increased its investment in Beijing Concrete accordingly. Its share capital increased from RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million). As a result, BFCM owns 99.67% of Beijing Concrete from January 15, 2010.

On February 1, 2010, Beijing Concrete formed a subsidiary, Shaanxi Hongruida Concrete Ltd. (“Hongruida”) and contributed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to its capital. Beijing Concrete is the sole shareholder of Hongruida. Hongruida was organized to implement the 10-year strategic cooperative agreement with one of the Company’s major clients, China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd (“CRCG”). Under the Agreement, the Company and CRCG will jointly manage the concrete mixing stations to be operated by Hongruida. CRCG will provide the cement for manufacturing the concrete mix in such concrete mixing stations, and will be able to purchase the concrete mix at discounted prices. Also, in accordance with the Agreement, each party will lease certain equipment to the concrete mixing stations.  The Company and CRCG will share 75% and 25% of the annual profits of such concrete mixing stations in Xi’an. Hongruida commenced its operations at the end of March 2010.

When we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of NCH on a consolidated basis unless the context suggests otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC.  All necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Economic and Political Risks

The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and marketing in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.

Control by Principal Stockholders

The directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties own, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the registered capital of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company’s assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Infrastructure, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have fiscal year ends of May 31 and the results are consolidated up to that date. Non controlling interests consist of other stockholders’ ownership interests in majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. Deposits held in financial institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency.

Restricted Cash

In accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (note 12) signed by China Infrastructure Construction Corporation, Trillion Growth China General Partner and Anslow & Jaclin, LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) in October 2009, the Company was required to keep with the Escrow Agent $120,000 immediately on the Closing Date of the Subscription Agreement. This fund can only be disbursed when certain criteria are met. The escrow account also keeps $38,089 of attorney fees as a covenant for future services. As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount not disbursed was $146,089 and $0, respectively, and these are included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Deposits held in the escrow account are not insured by any government entity or agency.

Trade Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s regular assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. These factors continuously change, and can have an impact on collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material. Management reviews and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects the management’s best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Certain accounts receivable amounts are charged off against allowances after a designated period of collection efforts. Subsequent cash recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $397,042 and $311,928 as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Inventories consist of the following:

   
 
May 31, 2010
     
May 31, 2009
 
Raw materials 
 
$
575,452
   
$
885,834
 

Property and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation related to property and equipment is reported in cost of revenues. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Office trailers
 
10 years
Machinery and equipment
 
3-8 years
Furniture and office equipment
 
5-8 years
Motor vehicles
 
3-5 years
 
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value has become impaired according to the guidelines established in FASB Codification (ASC) 360.  The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of May 31, 2010, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of concrete pumping service and consulting service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or incentive given to customers.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our products delivered to customers are checked on site by customers and, once the products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice. There is no warranty issue after the delivery.

Reward or incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our products; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in our income statement.

The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”).  The Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of the raw materials, freight charges, direct labor, depreciation of plant and machinery, warehousing cost and overhead associated with the manufacturing process and commission expenses.

Shipping Income and Expense

-ASC 605-45-20 “Shipping and Handling Costs” establishes standards for the classification of shipping and handling costs. All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses charged to operations were $0 for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Advertising costs, if any, are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the income statement.

Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income

The accompanying financial statements are presented in US dollars. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. Dollars and that of Beijing Concrete is the Renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into US dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
 
On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/USD exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s government. We use the Closing Rate Method in currency translation of the financial statements of the Company.

RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at rates used in translation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”) Under the asset and liability method as required by ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109), deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, and as such, no valuation allowances were recorded at May 31, 2010 and 2009.

ASC 740 (formerly FIN 48) clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
Under ASC 740, evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

The Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States, Hong Kong, and the PRC jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, and as a result the ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain. However, the Company does not anticipate any events that would lead to changes to these uncertainties.

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Currently, the Company is charged at 0% income tax expense for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009.  The exemption of income tax to the Company will last until December 31, 2010 and from year 2011, the Company will be subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25%. The current income tax expense and deferred tax expense for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Restrictions on Transfer of Assets Out of the PRC

Dividend payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by the Company without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. However, no such restrictions exist with respect to loans and advances.

Financial Instruments
 
ASC 825 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of those instruments. ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), adopted July 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables, including short-term loans, qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
 
o
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
o
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 
o
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

CHINA INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157).

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment.”) The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
 
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options. ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 (formerly SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share.") ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

In accordance with FASB ASC 230, cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Segment Reporting

ASC 280 “Segment reporting” (formerly SFAS 131) requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Since management does not disaggregate Company data, the Company has determined that only one segment exists.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ), which has become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”), which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. We do not expect it to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –"Subsequent events (Topic 855)" Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendments were effective upon issuance of the update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Shareholder’s Equity

Reverse Stock Split

On September 28, 2009, the Company effectuated a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, with no par value (the “Common Stock”) (the “Reverse Split”). Upon the Reverse Stock Split, ten (10) shares of the outstanding Common Stock were automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split, however, did not alter the number of shares the Company is authorized to issue, but only reduced the number of shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding. Any fractional share issued as a result of the reverse split was rounded up. Immediately before the Reverse Split there were 15,295,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after giving effect to the Reverse Split, there were 1,529,550 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. All statements are retroactively stated to show the effects of the Reverse Split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

Stock Issuance For Compensation

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to an Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) at a standard rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Currently, the Company is charged at 0% income tax rate because of a special tax exemption approved by the PRC tax department. The income tax expenses for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 are $0. The exemption of income tax to the Company will last until December 31, 2010 and from year 2011, the Company will be subject to an income tax at a standard rate of 25%. There were no significant book and tax basis differences.

The estimated tax savings due to the tax exemption for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to approximately $3,821,280 and $2,802,334, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Uncertainties

Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors similarly affect groups of counter parties whose aggregate credit exposure is material in relation to the Company’s total credit exposure.

The company had sales to one major customer, China Railway Construction Group, that represented 14% of the Company’s total sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. And the Company had sales to two major customers, China Railway Construction Group, and Guangzhou Tianli Construction Group , that represented 25% and 12% of the Company’s total sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

Two customers, China Railway Construction Group, and Guangzhou Tianli Construction Group, accounted for 26% and 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at May 31, 2010. One customer, China Railway Construction Group, accounted for 33% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at May 31, 2009.

One major vendor accounted for 11% of the Company’s accounts payable at May 31, 2010. No vendor accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts payable at May 31, 2009.  One major vendor accounted for 8% of the Company’s accounts payable at May 31, 2009.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, denominated in the U.S. dollar. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect the cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position of the Company.

Contingencies

The Company has not, historically, carried any property or casualty insurance. No amounts have been accrued for any liability that could arise from the lack of insurance. Management feels the chances of such an obligation arising are remote.

Deposits in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are consequently exposed to risk of loss. Management believes the probability of a bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer and sell up to an aggregate of 1,282,091 shares of our common stock. The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of their shares through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.
 
The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
 
·
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
·
in the over-the-counter market;
·
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
·
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·
privately negotiated transactions;
·
short sales;
·
sales pursuant to Rule 144;
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). To the extent the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions through underwriters, the maximum commission or discount to be received by such underwriters will not be greater than eight (8) percent. In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

[RESALE PROSPECTUS ALTERNATE PAGE]

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
 
We have agreed to pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with our agreement to register the shares, or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
The statutes, charter provisions and other arrangements under which controlling persons, directors or officers of the Company are insured or indemnified against any liability which they may incur in such capacity are as follows:

Colorado Law

Colorado corporate law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Colorado corporate law also provides that, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Charter Provisions

Article VII of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizes us, among other things, to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries or agents against claims, liability or expense arising against or incurred by them in connection with certain actions, suits or proceedings if they acted in good faith and in a manner in which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, have no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

 
63

 

Article VI of our Bylaws authorizes us to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the Company.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On March 11, 2010, China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company”) consummated a private placement pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated March 5, 2010 with a number of investors, providing for the sale to the investors of an aggregate of approximately 1,282,091 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,000,000 (or $3.90 per Share). In connection with this private placement, the Company issued to the placement agent a warrant to purchase 46,154 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and paid a transaction fee of $240,000. Additionally, the Company issued to a finder a warrant to purchase 23,077 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and paid a transaction fee of $120,000. The issuances of these securities were effectuated pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D, and Regulation S promulgated thereunder.

On March 5, 2010, the Company and the investors in the October 2009 private placement entered into an Amendment to the Subscription Agreement from October 16, 2009. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued to such investors warrants to purchase in the aggregate approximately 1,281,083 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
 
On October 16, 2009, the Company entered into and consummated the sale of securities in a private placement pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with a number of investors, providing for the sale to the investors of an aggregate of approximately 2,564,103 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,000,000 (or $3.90 per Share). In connection with this private placement, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase 153,846 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share. Additionally, the Company issued to a financial advisor in the PRC 288,963 shares of common stock. The issuances of these securities were effectuated pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D, and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. 
 
On October 14, 2009, to provide incentives to the Company’s management and to adjust the Company’s capital structure, the Company issued to Rui Shen, a majority shareholder of the Company, an aggregate of 7,031,344 shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the 1-for-10 reverse stock split which took effect on September 28, 2009). The issuance of these securities was effectuated pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), as amended, provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On   October 8, 2008, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to the stockholder of NCH in exchange for all the issued and outstanding capital stock of NCH.  The Company did not receive any cash consideration in connection with the share exchange.  This issuance was made in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 16.
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
 
(a)  Exhibits.
 
The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)         To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4)          That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser:

(i)           in any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)          any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)         any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 
65

 

(6)          That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(7)          That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

(8)          For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, the undersigned registrant undertakes that:

(i)           if the undersigned registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(a)          each prospectus filed by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(b)         each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an Underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii)          if the undersigned registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an    offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed    in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
