CHINA INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.           ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
China Infrastructure Investment Corporation and subsidiaries (“CIIC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 11, 2001.
 
The principal activities of the Company are the investment, construction, operation, and management of the Pingdingshan – Linru section (“Pinglin Expressway”), and the rental of petrol stations and service districts along the toll roads.  Currently, all the operations of the Company are in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
 
2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a)         Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2010 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
(b)         Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Infrastructure Investment Corporation and the following subsidiaries:
 
 
(i)
Color Man Holdings Limited (“CMH”) (An inactive holding company, 100% subsidiary of CIIC).

 
(ii)
Wise On China Limited (“WOCL”) (An inactive holding company, 100% subsidiary of CMH)

 
(iii)
Pingdingshan Pinglin Expressway Co., Ltd. (“Ping”) (100% subsidiary of WOCL)

Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)          Concentrations
 
The location of the toll road and the operations of the Company are solely in the Henan Province, PRC.
 
The Company has a concentration of related party receivables from Tai Ao Expressway Co., Ltd. (“Tai Ao”) and Xinyang Expressway Co., Ltd. (“Xinyang”) as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Also see Notes 7, 8 and 9.
 
(d)          Economic and Political Risks

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
(e)          Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
A significant estimate of the Company is the estimate of future total traffic volume. This estimate is used for the calculation of depreciation relating to the toll road. Also see Note 2(h).
 
Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
The board of directors of the Company approved a share purchase resolution. Pursuant to a September 27, 2009 letter of intent, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao. The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang, and the remainder in cash. The advance to Tai Ao will also be settled in the Company’s acquisition of Tai Ao. The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned above. The Chinese government now requires foreign acquirers of assets based in China to use all cash in the acquisition. A share-based acquisition has to be approved by the Reform and Development Commission of the central government. The success of getting approval from the Reform and Development Commission is uncertain. The Company has to arrange a large amount of cross-border capital transactions, which can be time consuming and technically difficult due to the foreign exchange control in China. In addition, the Chinese government recently imposed a new national security review of future foreign acquisitions of certain types of businesses and assets that are of the strategic and national security interest of China, including infrastructure projects. Since this regulatory requirement just became effective, it is uncertain how the government will view this transaction and what steps will be taken. The Company is actively pursuing the acquisition. However, whether the application will be approved is still unclear as of March 31, 2011 due to the above mentioned reasons. Thus, there is uncertainty as to the collectibilty of the notes receivable and advances from related parties. At this time, the Company estimates that there is no need for a reserve against the amounts due from related parties. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining approval for the acquisition of Tai Ao, this reserve estimate could change significantly. The management of the Company plans to resolve the related party transactions prior to June 30, 2011, either by effectuating the acquisition or settling the related party receivables.
 
 (f)          Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC 820-10 (fair value measurement) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
(f)          Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
These tiers include:
 
• Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
• Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
• Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America.

The Company’s financial instruments include restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, due from related parties, other receivables, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, payable to contractors, other current liabilities and deferred taxes. We estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term bank loans and deferred revenue are estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. The Company’s fair value of long-term bank loans and deferred revenue was not significantly different from the carrying value at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

(g)         Plant and Equipment
 
Plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
 
Motor vehicles
8 years
Machinery
8 years
Office equipment
6 years
Toll stations and ancillary facilities
27 years
Communication and monitoring equipment
10 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
(h)         Toll Road Infrastructures
 
Toll road infrastructures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of the toll road infrastructures are calculated to write off their cost, commencing from the date of commencement of commercial operation of the toll roads, based on the ratio of actual traffic volume compared to the total expected traffic volume of the toll roads as assessed by management each year. The total expected traffic volume is derived from a traffic projection report prepared by an independent PRC organization. Also see Note 2(e).
 
(i)           Land Use Rights
 
According to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the Government and cannot be sold to an individual or company.  However, the government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized when the toll road is ready to operate, using the straight-line method over the approved toll road operating period of 27 years.
 
(j)           Impairment of Long-Term Assets
 
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC 360-10. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There were no impairments for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
(k)          Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue represents toll revenue net of business tax, and is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
-      The amount of revenue can be measured reliably,
 
-      It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise,
 
-      The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably, and

Also see Notes 17 and 18.
 
(m)         Retirement Benefits
 
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred.  Retirement benefits amounting to $134,398 and $210,490 were charged to operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
(n)          Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

3.           LIQUIDITY
 
The Company had a working capital deficit of $37,628,245 on March 31, 2011. This was primarily due to the Company providing notes receivable and advances to its related parties, Xinyang and Tai Ao for their highway construction and working capital. The Company currently generates its cash flow through its operating profit and borrowings from banks. During the reporting period, to increase its cash resources, the Company obtained a long-term loan of $19,066,206. As of the date of this report, the Company has not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through bank loans, and has not experienced any liquidity problems in settling payables in the normal course of business and repaying bank loans when they fall due. To improve liquidity, the Company may explore new expansion opportunities and external funding sources.

On June 29, 2010, Tai Ao Expressway Co., Ltd. entered into a renewal agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the note receivable from Tai Ao was extended to June 29, 2011 with a 5.94% interest rate per annum. Interest shall be paid annually and the principal shall be repaid at maturity. The note receivable from Tai Ao is classified as a non-current asset because the Company expects to purchase a controlling interest in Tai Ao and the receivable will be part of the cost of acquiring the ownership interest. Also see September 27, 2009 letter of intent below. According to the letter of intent and board of directors’ minutes of September 2009, the entire principal and interest is going to be settled by the acquisition. The resolution of principal and interest of the notes receivable from related parties to a large extent depends on the government approval of the acquisition. Based on the uncertainty of the approval by the government or how long it will take the Company to get approval, the Company decided to cease accruing the interest income from the notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.

On June 29, 2010, Xinyang Expressway Co., Ltd. entered into a renewal agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the note receivable to Xinyang was extended to June 29, 2011 with a 5.94% interest rate per annum. Interest is paid annually and the principal is repaid at maturity. Also see September 27, 2009 letter of intent below. According to the letter of intent and board of directors’ minutes of September 2009, the entire principal and interest is going to be settled by the acquisition. The resolution of principal and interest of the notes receivable from related parties to a large extent depends on the government approval of the acquisition. Based on the uncertainty of the approval by the government or how long it will take the Company to get approval, the Company decided to cease accruing the interest income from the notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.
 
On April 12, 2009, Henan Ruijia Industry Co., Ltd. (“Ruijia”) entered into an agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company provided a note receivable for $2,191,445 to Ruijia. Such note receivable was due April 11, 2010, and bears a 5.31% interest rate per annum. The principal and the interest were payable at maturity. On November 12, 2009, the Company received the principal of such note receivable. Considering the Company has never received the interest from the note, the Company’s management believes there is uncertainty as to collection of the interest income. A full provision amounting to $71,272 was provided by the Company for the interest as of March 31, 2011.
 
On July 28, 2009, Henan Hairun Trade Co., Ltd. (“Hairun”) entered into an agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company provided a note receivable for $1,465,975 to Hairun. Such note receivable was due July 27, 2010, and bears a 5.31% interest rate per annum. On November 12, 2009, the Company received the principal of such note receivable. Considering the Company has never received the interest from the note, the Company’s management believes there is uncertainty as to collection of the interest income. A full provision amounting to $23,870 was provided by the Company for the interest as of March 31, 2011.
 
The notes receivable were provided to these companies for their construction and operation working capital. Tai Ao, Xinyang and Ruijia are related to the Company through a common shareholder of the Company. Hairun is a trading company substantially controlled by Ms. Lin Jie, the Vice President of Operations of the Company. The notes receivable are interest bearing and unsecured.

Pursuant to a letter of intent dated September 27, 2009, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao. The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang of $83,601,327, and the remainder in cash.

7.           NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED)
 
The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned below.
 
The Chinese government now requires foreign acquirers of assets based in China to use all cash in the acquisition. A share-based acquisition has to be approved by the Reform and Development Commission of the central government. The success of getting approval from the Reform and Development Commission is uncertain. The Company has to arrange for a large amount of cross-border capital, which can be time consuming and technically difficult due to the foreign exchange control in China.
 
In addition, the Chinese government recently imposed a new national security review on future foreign acquisitions of certain types of businesses and assets that are of the strategic and national security interest of China, including infrastructure projects. Since this regulatory requirement just became effective, it is uncertain how the government will view this transaction and what steps will be taken.
 
The Company is actively pursuing the acquisition. However, whether the application will be approved is still unclear as of March 31, 2011 due to the above mentioned reasons. Thus, there is uncertainty as to the collectibilty of the notes receivables from related parties. At this time, the Company estimates that there is no need for a reserve against the amounts due from related parties. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining approval for the acquisition of Tai Ao, this reserve estimate could change significantly. The management of the Company plans to resolve the related party transaction as of June 30, 2011, either effectuating the acquisition or settling the related party receivables. Also see Note 8.
 
According to ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, revenue generally is realized or realizable and earned when ALL of the following criteria are met
 - There is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
 - Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 - The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
 - Collectibility is reasonable assured.

The Company’s management believes that from October 1, 2010 the collectability of the future interest income resulting from the notes receivable is uncertain. Therefore, the Company believes such income does not meet the related revenue recognition policy as above, and is no longer realizable. The Company decided to cease accruing the interest income from the notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.

INCOME TAX
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new CIT Law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to the Company starting January 1, 2008 is 25%. The new CIT Law impacted deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company adjusted deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2009 based on their best estimates and will continue to assess the impact of the new law in the future. The effects arising from the enforcement of the new CIT law have been reflected in the accounts.
 
ASC 740-10 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 2011, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
 
Business Overview
 
The Company is engaged in the investment, construction, operation and management of the Pinglin Expressway toll road in the Province of Henan, China and the rental of petrol stations and service districts along the toll roads.
 
With the approval from Henan Communications Bureau and the State Development and Reform Committee of China [NO. 2003-1784], the Company is permitted to construct and operate the Pinglin Expressway in Henan, China for thirty (30) years from 2003. Pursuant to the permission from Henan Communications Bureau and Henan Development and Reform Committee [NO. 2005-1885], the Company is entitled to operate six toll gates. All the rates applicable to the automobiles are defined by the Henan Communications Bureau and Henan Development and Reform Committee.
 
The Pinglin Expressway is a significant part of the Nanluo Expressway, a key national trunk highway in China which connects Nanjing to Luoyang. The Nanluo Expressway links the northwestern regions to the southeastern coastal regions of China. The construction of the Pinglin Expressway started on October 23, 2003 and was completed in two (2) phases. The first phase of the construction (covering a section of approximately 86 kilometers in length) linking Ruzhou and Pingdingshan in Henan Province, began commercial operations on December 31, 2005. On May 31, 2006, the second phase of the construction (covering a section of approximately 21 kilometers in length) linking Pingdingshan to Yexian in Henan Province was completed.
 
The Pinglin Expressway is a dual carriageway four lane expressways, the toll section is 106 km in length. Toll revenue from vehicles passing through the Expressway’s six toll gates (South Pingdingshan, Pingdingshan New Town, Baofeng, Xiaotun, Ruzhou and Wenquan) is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. The Expressway is also located between two key cities, Luoyang and Luohe. The Expressway extends from east to west, from Shilipu (the end of the Luohe-Pingdingshan expressway), through Yexian and Pingdingshan and then to New Xiying village at the joint of Pingdingshan and Luoyang. The road is linked with the Lianhuo (Lianyungang-Huoerguosi) national highway in Luoyang, and then extends to the southeast of Luohe City and connects with the Beijing-Zhuhai national highway to form a convenient channel between Luoyang and Luohe. In addition to the traffic flow of the line itself, we believe it also attracts the traffic flow from the Lianhuo highway to Zhengzhou and then to the Beijing-Zhuhai national highway to alter the route of the Pinglin Expressway. Furthermore, the Expressway extends east to link the highway network of the Jiangsu and Anhui provinces and also links seaports, including Shanghai.

The Company’s operating revenue is generated through toll charges on vehicles that pass through the toll gate. The standard toll charges is approved and set by the provincial price administrative bureau. The Company’s revenue is equal to the relevant standard toll rate for the types of vehicles, multiplied by the relative miles of travel on the Expressway which the Company is operating, and is cleared by the Henan Expressway System Toll Collection Center each month (Henan Expressway has a system of charges and a clearing center which calculates and allocates toll charge income according to the charge standards and the miles of vehicle travel in the Expressway). The Company specializes in the operation and management of expressways, and maintenance projects are outsourced to professional road construction enterprises.
 
The Company began generating operating revenue in January 2006. The Expressway was not fully operational until June 2006, therefore our operating income was low and growth was moderate. After several years of operations, awareness of the Expressway and passenger and commercial vehicle traffic has gradually increased. We believe that along with income growth in the future, the profit earning capacity of the Company will improve steadily.
 
Enterprise Strategy
 
Henan is the province with the largest population in China.  However, its urbanization rate is far below the national average. With rapid economic and social development and the accelerated process of urbanization in Henan, demand is growing rapidly for infrastructure, such as the Expressway and other transportation infrastructure, urban facilities such as heating, water supply, and sewerage treatment. The existing infrastructure can no longer meet the needs of the region’s social development.
 
Because the Chinese government’s financial revenue growth is limited, its investments alone are unable to build huge infrastructure projects in a relatively short period of time. In order to attract other funding, local governments are willing to grant to commercial companies the right to invest in the construction and operation of projects, or directly sell the equity of the established enterprises to recover their early input.

The Company plans to invest in the construction and purchase of additional expressways, water supply, sewage treatment facilities and other infrastructure assets in the next few years. In doing so, it intends to seize the opportunities in infrastructure development in China, especially in Henan province.  We believe that through consolidation, the Company will strengthen its business in infrastructure development and create economics of scale resulting in reduction in operation costs.
 
The Company intends to actively seek various sources in the capital markets to raise funds for its future expansion and consolidation.
 
In addition, the Company will continue to maintain and improve its business operations in areas of operations management, information systems, customer services, and repair maintenance.
 
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than other in their application.
 
This section should be read together with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

We determine the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for our toll road infrastructures, property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of toll road infrastructures, property, plant and equipment of a similar nature and functions and the practice in similar industries. Toll road infrastructures, property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of the toll road infrastructures are calculated to write off their cost, commencing from the date of commencement of commercial operations of the toll roads, based on the ratio of actual traffic volume compared to the total expected traffic volume of the toll roads as estimated by reference to traffic projection reports prepared by an independent PRC organization each year. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Other properties, plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. We will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or we will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
 
The board of directors of the Company approved a share purchase resolution. Pursuant to a letter of intent, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao (a related party). The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang, and the remainder in cash. The advance to Tai Ao will also be settled in the Company’s acquisition of Tai Ao. The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned in related parties’ transactions.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue represents toll revenue net of business tax, and is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
 
It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise;
 
The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably; and
 
Collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Rental income is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales tax.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, due from related parties, other receivables, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, payable to contractors, other current liabilities and deferred taxes. We estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term bank loans and deferred revenue are estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. The Company’s fair value of long-term bank loans and deferred revenue was not significantly different from the carrying value at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.
 
Depreciation of Toll Road Infrastructures
 
Toll road infrastructures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of the toll road infrastructures are calculated to write off their cost, commencing from the date of commencement of commercial operation of the toll roads, based on the ratio of actual traffic volume compared to the total expected traffic volume of the toll roads as assessed by management each year.  The total expected traffic volume is derived from a traffic projection report prepared by an independent PRC organization.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We review periodically the carrying amounts of long-lived assets including toll road infrastructures, property, plant and equipment, land use rights, construction in progress, long-term investment and long-term deferred assets with finite useful lives or beneficial periods, to assess whether they are impaired. We evaluate these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable such as a change of business plan or a period of continuous losses. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its projected future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. In determining estimates of future cash flows, significant judgment in terms of projection of future cash flows and assumptions is required. There were no impairments for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

The material related party transactions of the Company mainly relates to borrowings and loans for working capital needs, which are disclosed as follows:
 
On June 29, 2010, Tai Ao Expressway Co., Ltd. entered into a renewal agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the note receivable from Tai Ao was extended to June 29, 2011 with a 5.94% interest rate per annum. Interest shall be paid annually and the principal shall be repaid at maturity. The note receivable from Tai Ao is classified as a non-current asset because the Company expects to purchase a controlling interest in Tai Ao and the receivable will be part of the cost of acquiring the ownership interest. Also see September 27, 2009 letter of intent below. According to the letter of intent and board of directors’ minutes of September 2009, the entire principal and interest is going to be settled by the acquisition. The resolution of principal and interest of the notes receivable from related parties to a large extent depends on the government approval of the acquisition. Based on the uncertainty of the approval by the government or how long it will take the Company to get approval, the Company decided to cease accruing the interest income from the notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.
 
On June 29, 2010, Xinyang Expressway Co., Ltd. entered into a renewal agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the note receivable to Xinyang was extended to June 29, 2011 with a 5.94% interest rate per annum. Interest is paid annually and the principal is repaid at maturity. Also see September 27, 2009 letter of intent below. According to the letter of intent and board of directors’ minutes of September 2009, the entire principal and interest is going to be settled by the acquisition. The resolution of principal and interest of the notes receivable from related parties to a large extent depends on the government approval of the acquisition. Based on the uncertainty of the approval by the government or how long it will take the Company to get approval, the Company decided to cease accruing the interest income from the notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.
 
On September 27, 2009, the board of directors of the Company approved a share purchase resolution. Pursuant to a letter of intent dated September 27, 2009, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao. The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang of $83,601,327, and the remainder in cash. If the Company successfully negotiates with Tai Ao’s shareholders, the consideration will be determined in accordance with the audited net assets of Tai Ao at the purchase date. If the Company consummates such transaction, the transaction is expected to be accounted for as an acquisition of a company under common control.
 
The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned below.
 
The Chinese government now requires foreign acquirers of assets based in China to use all cash in the acquisition. A share-based acquisition has to be approved by the Reform and Development Commission of the central government. The success of getting approval from the Reform and Development Commission is uncertain. The Company has to arrange for a large amount of cross-border capital, which can be time consuming and technically difficult due to the foreign exchange control in China.
 
In addition, the Chinese government recently imposed a new national security review on future foreign acquisitions of certain types of businesses and assets that are of the strategic and national security interest of China, including infrastructure projects. Since this regulatory requirement just became effective, it is uncertain how the government will view this transaction and what steps will be taken.

The Company is actively pursuing the acquisition. However, whether the application will be approved is still unclear as of March 31, 2011 due to the above mentioned reasons. Thus, there is uncertainty as to the collectibilty of the notes receivables from related parties. At this time, the Company estimates that there is no need for a reserve against the amounts due from related parties. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining approval for the acquisition of Tai Ao, this reserve estimate could change significantly. The management of the Company plans to resolve the related party transaction as of June 30, 2011, either effectuating the acquisition or settling the related party receivables.

On November 12, 2009, the Company received the principal of such note receivable. Considering the Company has never received the interest from the note, the Company’s management believes there is uncertainty as to collection of the interest income. A full provision amounting to $71,272 was provided by the Company for the interest as of March 31, 2011.

Revenues
 
Our revenues are derived from the operation of Pinglin Expressway. Our revenues increased by approximately $2.4 million, or 22.7%, from approximately $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to:
 
The converted average daily traffic volume, a guideline specifically used in the toll road industry to evaluate operational performance, increased 2,642 units, or 22.5%, from 11,762 units for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 14,404 units for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Pinglin Expressway is part of Ningnuo Expressway, which intersects the Lianhuo Expressway (the main freight channel from east to west) at Luoyang. Due to the rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, which finished in October 2010, trucks chose our Expressway because of the improved road conditions and additional traffic lanes. With the completion of rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the traffic volume of the Expressway will be back to normal growth. As a result, the long-haul truck flow through Pinglin Expressway for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately 22% compared to the same period in 2010. Thus, the revenues increased accordingly. Considering the short time after the completion of the rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the Company cannot assess the impact of the future total traffic volume of Pinglin Expressway in the current reporting period, and will assess it each reporting period.
 
Due to these factors set forth above, our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 22.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Operating Costs
 
Our operating costs mainly represent the road maintenance costs, road management costs and labor costs associated with the toll operations. Our operating costs decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 10.8%, from approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in our specific project costs and the road surface evenness project for three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Our total depreciation and amortization related to toll operations increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 35.3%, from approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mainly caused by the increase of the converted average daily traffic volume and the reassessment of the future expected traffic volume.
 
Depreciation of toll road infrastructures is calculated on a units-of-usage basis. The Company recorded the depreciation based on the ratio of actual traffic volume during the period compared to the total expected traffic volume of the toll roads during the estimated operation licensing period.
 
The converted average daily traffic volume increased 2,642 units, or 22.5%, from 11,762 units for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 14,404 units for the three months ended March 31, 2011
 
Management assesses the future total expected traffic volume at each year end. Considering the current economic environment and the actual traffic volume during the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to prior years’ estimate, management believes that there was significant decline in future total anticipated volume. Based on such estimation, the management reassessed the future total traffic volume at June 30, 2010, which decreased by approximately 15.6% compared to the assessment of prior year. As a result, depreciation of toll road infrastructures increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Considering the short time after the completion of rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the Company cannot assess the impact of the future total traffic volume of the Expressway in the current reporting period, and will assess it each reporting period.

Our gross profit increased by approximately $1.8 million, or 24.1%, from approximately $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Such gross profit increase is primarily due to the increase in our revenues and decrease in operating costs.
 
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 71.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 71.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of the explanation above.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
Our general and administrative expenses mainly represent employee payroll and welfare, traveling expenses, vehicle gasoline and maintenance costs, entertainment expenses, consulting fees, provisions for doubtful accounts, depreciation and miscellaneous taxes. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 10.0%, from approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Such increase is primarily due to the increase in payroll. With the high CPI in China, the Company provided the higher payroll for its employees.

Interest Income and Expense
 
Interest income from related parties decreased by approximately $2.06 million, or 100%, from approximately $2.06 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the Company’s management’s decision to cease to accrue the interest income from notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.
 
Interest expense increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 12.9%, from approximately $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase is primarily due to the increase in our loan principal.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 94.1%, from approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as a result of the decrease in our income from operations. Our effective tax rate was 25% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Net Income
 
Our net income decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 93.9%, from approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $0.08 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in our interest income from related parties and the increase in interest expense, partially offset by the increase in our revenue.

Revenues
 
Our revenues are derived from the operation of Pinglin Expressway. Our revenues increased by approximately $6.4 million, or 17.8%, from approximately $35.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $42.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to:
 
The converted average daily traffic volume, a guideline specifically used in the toll road industry to evaluate operational performance, increased 2,056 units, or 15.9%, from 12,899 units for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 14,955 units for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Pinglin Expressway is part of Ningnuo Expressway, which intersects the Lianhuo Expressway (the main freight channel from east to west) at Luoyang. Due to the rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, which finished in October 2010, trucks chose our Expressway because of the improved road conditions and additional traffic lanes. With the completion of rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the traffic volume of the Expressway will be back to normal growth. As a result, the long-haul truck flow through Pinglin Expressway for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately 18% compared to the same period in 2010.  Thus, the revenues increased accordingly. Considering the short time after the completion of rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the Company cannot assess the impact of the future total traffic volume of Pinglin Expressway in the current reporting period, and will assess it each reporting period.
 
With the global economic recovery, the coal demand for industry increases. Therefore, the weight and flow rate of trucks carrying coal through Pinglin Expressway increased accordingly.
 
Due to these factors set forth above, our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased 17.8% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Operating Costs
 
Our operating costs mainly represent the road maintenance costs, road management costs and labor costs associated with the toll operations. Our operating costs increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 52.2%, from approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is mainly due to the increase in our specific project costs and the road surface evenness project for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Our total depreciation and amortization related to toll operations increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 28.9%, from approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $8.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mainly caused by the increase of the converted average daily traffic volume and the reassessment of the future expected traffic volume.
 
Depreciation of toll road infrastructures is calculated on a units-of-usage basis. The Company recorded the depreciation based on the ratio of actual traffic volume during the period compared to the total expected traffic volume of the toll roads during the estimated operation licensing period.
 
The converted average daily traffic volume increased 2,056 units, or 15.9%, from 12,899 units for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 14,955 units for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Management assesses the future total expected traffic volume at each year end. Considering the current economic environment and the actual traffic volume during the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to prior years’ estimate, management believed that there was significant decline in future total anticipated volume. Based on such estimation, the management reassessed the future total traffic volume at June 30, 2010, which decreased by approximately 15.6% compared to the assessment of prior year. As a result, depreciation of toll road infrastructures increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Considering the short time after the completion of rebuilding of the Lianhuo Expressway, the Company cannot assess the impact of the future total traffic volume of the Expressway in the current reporting period, and will assess it each reporting period.

Gross Profit
 
Our gross profit increased by approximately $2.8 million, or 10.9%, from approximately $26.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $29.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Such gross profit increase is primarily due to the increase in our revenues, partially offset by the increase in operating cost and depreciation expense.
 
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 73.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 68.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of the explanation above.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
Our general and administrative expenses mainly represent employee payroll and welfare, traveling expenses, vehicle gasoline and maintenance costs, entertainment expenses, consulting fees, provisions for doubtful accounts and miscellaneous taxes. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 3.6%, from approximately $3.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $3.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Such decrease is primarily due to the decrease in consulting fee. Consulting fee decreased due to the completion of the review and verification of the project “Part of State Key Highway Construction”.
 
Interest Income and Expense
 
Interest income from related parties decreased by approximately $4.1 million, or 66.0%, from approximately $6.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the Company’s management’s decision to cease to accrue the interest income from notes receivable from related parties from October 1, 2010.
 
Interest expense increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 3.3%, from approximately $21.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $22.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This increase is primarily due to the increase in our loan principal.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 38.6%, from approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as a result of the decrease in our income from operations. Our effective tax rate was 24% and 26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Net Income
 
Our net income decreased by approximately $2.0 million, or 33.9%, from approximately $6.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $4.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in our operating costs and depreciation and amortization expenses, the decrease in interest income from related parties, and the increase in interest expenses, partially offset by the increase in our revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We generally finance our operations through, to a substantial extent, from operating profit and a combination of borrowings from banks. We use cash generated from operations to pay current liabilities. To increase our cash resources, we will renew short-term loans when due and obtain long-term loans, if necessary. During the current reporting period, we obtained long-term loans of $19,066,206.
 
Management assesses the future total expected traffic volume at each fiscal year end. Considering the current economic environment and the actual traffic volume during the year ended June 31, 2010, compared to the prior years’ estimate, management believes that there was significant decline in future total anticipated volume. However, the converted average daily traffic volume for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Therefore, our current revenue generated through operations increased accordingly during the current reporting period.
 
As of the date of this report, we have not experienced (1) any difficulty in raising funds by bank loans, (2) any liquidity problems in settling the payables in the normal course of business, and (3) any difficulty in repaying bank loans when they fall due. To improve liquidity, we may explore new expansion opportunities and funding sources from which the management may consider seeking external funding and financing.
 
The following table sets forth the summary of our cash flow, in dollars, for the periods indicated:

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period
  $ 1,189,434     $ 1,459,506  
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $7.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $16.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in our net income of approximately $2.0 million, and the decrease in our current deferred revenue of approximately $2.2 million and the increase in our accounts receivables of approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $14.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to approximately $10.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The change is primarily due to the fact that (a) we provided additional working capital for related parties, Zhengbian and Tai Ao, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010; (b) we paid the amount to purchase shares of Pingdingshan City Credit Corporation of approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011; and (c) we provided additional payables to contractors of approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided in financing activities was approximately $7.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net cash used of approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Such change is primarily due to the fact that (a) we received $19.1 million in proceeds from long-term bank loans from China Construction Bank due to working capital needs; and (b) the repayment of long-term bank loans decreased approximately $8.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010; and (c) the restricted cash increased approximately $20.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Working Capital
 
Our working capital increased by approximately $24.0 million from a deficit of approximately $61.6 million as of June 30, 2010 to a deficit of approximately $37.6 million as of March 31, 2011. This was primarily due to a change in the payment schedule of long-term loans, which resulted in a decrease in the current portion of long-term bank loans of approximately $6.4 million and the restricted cash increased approximately $20.8 million. The negative working capital of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 is mainly due to the current notes receivables from related parties that are reclassified into long-term assets.
 
On September 27, 2009, the board of directors of the Company approved a share purchase resolution. Pursuant to a letter of intent, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao. The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang, and the remainder in cash. The advance to Tai Ao will also be involved in the Company’s acquisition of Tai Ao. The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned in related parties’ transactions.
 
The Company currently generates its cash flow through operations and bank loans, and the Company believes that its cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve (12) months. From time to time, the Company may explore new expansion opportunities and funding sources from which our management may consider seeking external funding and financing.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
We made capital expenditures of approximately $0.2 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Capital expenditures principally consisted of toll road infrastructures, toll stations and ancillary facilities, communication and monitoring equipment and other equipment related to our toll operations. If we are permitted to construct and operate a new toll road or invest other toll road companies, we may require additional funds.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We entered into a guarantee agreement with China Citic Bank Zhengzhou Branch. Pursuant to the agreement, we provided corporate guarantees for bank loans to Tai Ao, with a debt ceiling of Rmb 65 million (approximately $9,923,513). The guarantee period is from September 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011.  As of March 31, 2011, Tai Ao borrowed Rmb 50 million (approximately $7,633,471), due September 15, 2011.
