NOVEMBER 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)

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 the 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.

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.
 
 
F-4

 

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, Shanxi 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. 

The Company through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), engages in the production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. In addition, we have a technical service agreement with an independently owned concrete mixture station, pursuant to which we are paid by percentages of sales for technical support provided.

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. Operating results for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended May 31, 2010.

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. Noncontrolling 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.
 
 
F-6

 

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 November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010, the amount not disbursed was $69,409 and $146,089, 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 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 $407,619 and $397,042 as of November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010, respectively.
 
 
F-7

 

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:

   
November 30, 2010
  
  
May 31, 2010
 
Raw materials 
 
$
533,472
   
$
575,452
 

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 November 30, 2010, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.
 
 
F-8

 

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 services and consulting services. 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 six months ended November 30, 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. 
 
 
F-10

 

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.

USA

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdiction in which they operate. As the Group has no income generated in the United States, there was no tax expense or tax liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States as of November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010.
 
 
F-11

 

Hong Kong

As the Group has no income generated in Hong Kong, there was no tax expense or tax liability due to the tax rule of Hong Kong as of November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010.

PRC

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.

Beijing Concrete is subject to a special tax exemption approved by the PRC tax department. 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%.

BFCM has an accumulated operating loss, thus there is no income tax expense for BFCM. The Company has not recorded deferred taxes, as valuation allowances were provided because all significant differences in tax basis and financial statement amounts are permanent differences.

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:
 
 
¨
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
¨
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.

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

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).

 
F-13

 

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. 
 
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:

Statement of Cash Flows

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 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, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010.
 
 
F-16

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amend “Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-20 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Updates up through 2010-29.

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.

Results of Operations

Three months ended November 30, 2010 Compared to Three months ended November 30, 2009

Net Revenue

Net Revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $25,930,120 as compared to $19,155,132 for the same period last year, an increase of $6,774,988, or approximately 35.37%. The increase in net revenue is mainly attributable to our geographic expansion. We had set up new factories in Xi’an and Shidu in 2010. The sales volume of concrete products increased by approximately 31.31% for the three months ended November 30, 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 since late March 2010, which is a new addition to our main business. These services generated approximately $0.47 million in our net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2010.

Costs of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $18,703,068 as compared to $14,655,122 for the same period last year, an increase of $4,047,946 or approximately 27.62%. The increase in cost of goods sold is mainly because of our increased sales volume.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $7,227,052, an increase of $2,727,042 or approximately 60.60%, as compared to $4,500,010 for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase of sales due to geographic development of our business, our business expansion into technical services sector, and vertical integration with one sand and stone vendor.

Gross Profit Margin
 
Gross profit margin for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was 27.87%, compared to 23.49% for the same period last year. The increase of the gross profit margin is mainly because technical services provided a higher margin and our merger with one sand and stone company lowered the cost of goods sold.

General and administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2010 were $1,851,878, as compared to $28,794,545 for the same period last year, a decrease of $26,942,667, or approximately 93.57%. The decrease was primarily due to the $27,422,242 one time non-cash compensation expenses included in the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009.

The increased income was due to the increased sales revenue as a result of our business expansion geographically, the increased revenue of the same batch plants as well as our transition towards the business of a higher profit margin. In addition, the Company in the comparable period in 2009 carried a loss because the one-time non-cash compensation expenses of $27,422,242 were included in the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $803,470. We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, capital from shareholders. Due to the competitive environment, our raw materials suppliers are willing to accept our accounts receivable and credit the Company for the payments to the accounts payable. We usually enter into assignment agreements with our suppliers, whereby the suppliers shall be entitled to the amounts due and owed by our customer and the Company shall assist the suppliers on collection. Under these assignment agreements, the Company has the obligation of notifying the customers about the assignment, and in any event that the suppliers are not able to collect such accounts receivable due to a fault other than the suppliers,’ the Company shall still have the obligation to pay off the suppliers. In the concrete industry, the raw material suppliers, with their locality and good relationship with local construction companies who often become our customers, are in a better position to collect the receivable from our customers. All assigned accounts receivable to our suppliers were collected as of the end of our second fiscal quarter of 2011. In the six months ended November 30, 2010, we paid approximately $17,672,576 or 64.99% of the raw materials with our accounts receivable. 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, the timing of accounts receivable collections and the acceptance of our accounts receivable as payment instrument by raw material suppliers.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,293,846 for the six months ended November 30, 2010, an increase of $4,955,797 as compared to $3,661,951 net cash used in operating activities for the same period last year. The increase of net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to the increase of net income and tax payable offset by prepayment. Accounts receivable increased as well as a result 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 November 30, 2010, trade accounts receivable with aging over twelve months old amounted to $7,294,414, accounting for 10.92% of total trade accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $360,446 for the six months ended November 30, 2010, a decrease of $557,839 as compared to $918,285 used for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased investments of property, plant, and equipment and decreased payment to related party receivable and the proceeds from the collection of related-party receivable and from the sale of property, plant, and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,253,339 for the six months ended November 30, 2010, compared to $10,151,014 net cash provided by financing activities for the same period last year. In addition to the cash from the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock in October 2009, the decrease of net cash provided by financing activities was also attributable to the repayment of the Company’s bank loans that matured during the six months ended November 30, 2010 and the increased payment to our capital lease obligations.

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.

 
11

 

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.

ITEM 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
