NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010

NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Nature of operations

LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (formerly known as Remediation Services Inc.) (“LianDi Clean” or the “Company”), is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries, primarily engages in the distribution of clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), the distribution of a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software for the polymerization process and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies. The Company is also engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products through a subsidiary acquired in July 2010.

Corporate organization

LianDi Clean was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation.  On December 12, 2007, the Company changed its name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada.  On February 26, 2010, Remediation completed a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which is further described below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change-in-control of Remediation.

On March 17, 2010, Remediation caused to be formed a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. ("Merger Sub") and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub's common stock for cash.  Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remediation.

Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into Remediation. As a result of the merger, the Company’s corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.”  Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased.  LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of the Company.

In July 2004, China LianDi was founded and owned as to 60% by Mr. Jianzhong Zuo (“Mr. Zuo,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company) and 40% by another third-party minority shareholder. On October 2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired from such minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for US$1, and accordingly became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008, SJ Asia Pacific Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJI Inc., a company incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo in exchange for: (i) US$1.00; (ii) the commitment to investing HK$60,000,000 (or approximately $7.7 million) in China LianDi; and (iii) the provision of financial support for China LianDi by way of an unlimited shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a result, China LianDi had been owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49% by Mr. Zuo.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

On January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,” a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited, and of which Mr. Zuo is a director and holds voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd (“Rapid Capital”), respectively.  On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% interest in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively.  On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%) and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%), respectively. As a result, immediately before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held as to 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.

Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital are held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of 5% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from the principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services related to facilitating the private placement.

Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.

In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the PRC.

Anhui Jucheng was founded on January 28, 2005. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin acquired a 51% equity interest in Auhui Jucheng.

On December 31, 2010, China LianDi acquired a 100% equity interest in Hongteng Technology Limited together with its wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd., from Mr. Zuo, CEO of the Company.

Reverse Acquisition

On February 26, 2010, Remediation consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of Remediation. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of Remediation’s common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, Remediation had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to Remediation all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of Remediation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of Remediation’s shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of Remediation. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to Remediation’s former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.

As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Remediation to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).  The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results of Remediation being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded as a result of this transaction.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and consolidation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year.  The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, which was derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2011.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated 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 the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill, and the fair value of share-based payments and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred and common stock.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, approximately $10.1 million and $16.2 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC. The convertibility of RMB into other currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of equipment and software inventory is determined on a specific identification basis and cost of industrial chemical inventory is determined on a weighted average basis. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 
Useful Life
Leasehold improvements
5 years
Buildings
30 years
Plant and machinery
10 years
Office equipment
5 years

Intangible assets

Purchased software and copyrights are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or estimated useful economic life of 2 to 10 years.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year for all reporting units. Goodwill is tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company recognized no impairment loss on goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Multiple-deliverable arrangements

The Company derives revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for the Company to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
 
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
 
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
 
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.

The Company’s multiple-element contracts generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for the Company to carry out installation, test runs and performance tests at the Company’s cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance period”) stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages of the contract value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance specifications cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return, cancellation or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.

The delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by the Company in accordance with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, the Company has not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.

The Company may also provide its customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the customer upon expiration of the warranty period. For those contracts with retainage clauses, the Company defers the recognition of the amounts retained as revenue until expiration of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. The Company has not provided for warranty costs for those contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based on historical experience.

Revenue recognition -Continued

Product only
Revenue derived from sales contracts that require delivery of products only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers. Titles to the products pass to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.

Software sale
The Company recognizes revenue from the delivery of data processing platform software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC Topic 985, Software (formerly Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended), and in accordance with SAB 104. Costs of software revenue include amortization of software copyrights.

Service
The Company recognizes revenue from provision of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with SAB 104.

The Company is subject to business tax of 5% and value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in the PRC, respectively. The Company presents its revenue net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts and returns. There were no product returns for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Deferred revenue and costs

Deferred revenue represents payments received from customers on equipment delivery and installation contracts prior to customer acceptance.  As revenues are deferred, the related costs of equipment paid to suppliers are also deferred. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the period in which the criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as discussed above.

Research and development expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Advertising and promotion costs

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to expense when incurred.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising and promotion costs were insignificant.

Shipping and handling cost

Shipping and handling costs are charged to expense when incurred.  Shipping and handling costs were included in selling expenses in the statements of income and comprehensive income and amounted to $95,925 and $3,461 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Usually the Company does not charge back customers for these costs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740.  ASC Topic 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years.  Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
 
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of ASC 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Comprehensive income

FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Stock based compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expense as the goods or services are received.

Earnings per share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. FASB ASC Topic 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 dilutive effects of convertible securities (using the as-if converted method), and options and warrants and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).

The following table is a reconciliation of the net income and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

Commitments and contingencies

The Company follows ASC Subtopic 450-20, Loss Contingencies in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Foreign currency

The Company has evaluated the determination of its functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.

Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow is the U.S. dollar.

Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng is Renminbi.

On its own, the Company raises finances in the U.S. dollar, pays its own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expects to receive a dividend if and when declared by its subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in U.S. dollars.

Therefore, it has been determined that the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.

The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency-Continued

The Company’s PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are as follows:

 
June 30, 2011
 
March 31, 2011
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
US$1=RMB6.4716
 
US$1=RMB6.5564
 
Three Months Ended June 30,
 
2011
 
2010
Items in statements of income and cash flows
US$1=RMB6.5011
 
US$1=RMB6.8235

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the above rates.

The value of RMB against U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

Financial instruments

The Company values its financial instruments as required by FASB ASC 320-12-65. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

Fair value measurements

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trading securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and due to shareholders.

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at the respective reporting periods.

Fair value measurements (continued)

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recent accounting pronouncements

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01- Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. This deferral will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02- Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this update provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a trouble debt restructuring For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-02 will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update intend to converge requirements for how to measure fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in US GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards.  For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-04 will have no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 – Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this update require (i) that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements (the current option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity is eliminated); and (ii) presentation of reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-05 will have no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The agreement provides that the purchase price shall be based on the valuation of RMB40,800,000 (or $5,941,459). The agreement stipulates that the seller shall provide assistance for the registration of the software copyright in the name of Beijing JianXin. The agreement also provides that the seller shall dismiss all human resources for the business activities related to the software from the date Beijing JianXin is granted the software copyright and at the same time, provide assistance for Beijing JianXin to re-employ the necessary staff from the seller to ensure a smooth transitioning of the activities related to the software. The agreement provides for Beijing JianXin to pay the purchase price within 1 year from the date it obtains the software copyright, but no later than March 31, 2010. The purchase price for the software copyright was fully paid before March 31, 2010.

This software copyright has been registered with the National Copyright Administration of the People’s Republic of China in the name of Beijing JianXin and is protected under the relevant copyright law of the PRC for 50 years from November 11, 2008, the date of first publication of the software.

  $ 365,528  
Exchange realignment

Balance as of June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
  $ 370,318  

Goodwill arose from the Company’s acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010. Impairment of goodwill is tested at least annually at the reporting unit. The test consists of two steps. First, the Company identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Topic 805,”Business Combinations.”

The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the preferred shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 4, 2010. The preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly, at the Company’s option, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock has class voting rights such that the Company, prior to taking certain corporate actions (including certain issuances or redemptions of its securities or changes in its organizational documents), is required to obtain the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights with the common stock or other equity securities of the Company. The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $3.50 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement for any reasons, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, solely at the holder’s option, can require the Company to redeem from such holder those Series A Preferred Stock for which the Company is unable to issue registered shares of common stock at a price equal the Series A liquidation preference amount, provided that the Company shall have the sole option to pay such redemption price in cash or restricted shares of common stock.

At June 30, 2011, 5,034,940 preferred shares were outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $18,008,112.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock, without embodying an obligation for the Company to repurchase or to settle by transferring assets, is not a liability in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Because the event that may trigger redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the delivery of registered shares, is not solely within the Company’s control, the Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.

The Series A Preferred Stock holder may request for redemption of the preferred stock in the event that the Company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement. However, according to the registration rights agreement between the Company and the investors (who are also the preferred stock holders), the Company is contractually permitted to prepare, file and cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 calendar days after the closing date of the private placement on February 26, 2010. The registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of June 30, 2011. Therefore, the Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2011, the Company has not adjusted the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value or recognized any accretion charges as it is considered not probable that the Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable, in accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Guidance on redeemable preferred stock in ASC 480-10-S99.

In conjunction with the private placement on February 26, 2010, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors pursuant to which LianDi Energy delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares of common stock to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 net income performance threshold of $20.5 million. The Company has evaluated the terms of this escrow arrangement based on the guidance provided in ASC 718-10S99 and concluded that because the escrow shares would be released to the Company’s principal stockholder or distributed to the investors without regard to the continued employment of any of the Company’s directors or officers, the escrow arrangement is in substance an inducement to facilitate the private placement, rather than compensatory.

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

(b)
Preferred Stock (continued)

Because the fiscal 2011 performance threshold has been met, 1,722,311 shares will be released to LianDi Energy, the principal stockholder.  The Company is currently working with the Escrow Agent to facilitate the release of these shares.

In accordance to ASC Topic 718 and ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation: Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.  The Company evaluated the substance of this arrangement and whether the presumption of compensation has been overcome. According to the Security Escrow Agreement signed between the Company and its investors, the release of these escrow shares to the principal stockholder was not contingent on continued employment, and this arrangement is in substance an inducement made to facilitate the financing transaction on behalf of the Company, rather than as compensatory.  Therefore, the Company has accounted for the escrowed share arrangement according to its nature, and therefore did not recognize a non-cash compensation charge as a result of the Company satisfying the 2011 performance thresholds.

Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and reflected it as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly issued securities in the private placement, based on its fair value of $4,925,810 as of February 26, 2010.

The aggregate fair value of the escrow shares as of February 26, 2010 is allocated to the different securities issued in the private placement according to their respective allocated net proceeds as follows:
 
   
Net proceeds of
private
placement
allocated to
   
 
Allocation of
escrow shares
 
Discount on common stock
  $ 1,309,380     $ 373,260

    14,059,018       4,007,745  
Discount on warrants
    1,911,156       544,805  
Total
  $ 17,279,554     $ 4,925,810  

The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to June 30, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was nil and $1,142,513, respectively.

(c)
Warrants

On February 26, 2010, the Company issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75, for cash.  These warrants are exercisable at any time for three years from February 26, 2010.

Also on February 26, 2010, the Company issued (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which were issued to the placement agent in connection with the private placement and expire in three years on February 26, 2013.

The Company has evaluated the terms of the warrants issued in the private placement with reference to the guidance provided in ASC 815-40-15.  The Company has concluded that these warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock, because the warrants have no contingent exercise provision and fixed strike prices which are only subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, combinations, dividends, mergers or other customary corporate events.  Therefore, these warrants have been classified as equity.

NOTE 21
STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company’s subsidiaries, Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng, as PRC companies, are required on an annual basis to make appropriations of retained earnings to statutory reserves at a certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations (“PRC GAAP”).

The general reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end and after setting off against any accumulated losses from prior years) until such fund has reached 50% of registered capital, whereas enterprise expansion fund appropriation is at its discretion. Appropriation to the general reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to stockholders. The general reserve fund and statutory reserve fund can only be used for specific purposes, such as setting off the accumulated losses, enterprise expansion or increasing the registered capital. The enterprise expansion fund was mainly used to expand production and operation; it also may be used for increasing the registered capital. There was no transfer from retained earnings of Beijing JianXin to statutory reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and thereafter because the statutory reserves of $1,138,733 at March 31, 2010 already reached 50% of Beijing JianXin’s registered capital of $2,200,000. Therefore, any further transfer to the statutory reserves is at the Company’s discretion and Beijing JianXin decided not to make any appropriations to the statutory reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

There are no legal requirements in the PRC to fund these reserves by transfer of cash to restricted accounts, and the Company has not done so.

OTHER INCOME – VALUE ADDED TAX REFUND

Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the PRC government as a software enterprise with its own software copyright. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect of its sales of self-developed software products. The Company recognizes the value added tax refund as revenue only when it has been received and there is no condition to the use of the fund received.
 
NOTE 23
INCOME TAXES

The entities within the Company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on their taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

In March 2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and promulgated related regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective from January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.

Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng, being established in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise with its own software copyright and is entitled to tax preferential treatment – a two-year tax holiday through EIT exemption for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng are subject to an EIT rate of 25% for 2011.

No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither LianDi Clean or China LianDi has any taxable income in the U.S or the British Virgin Islands.

The new Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the New Tax Law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to the Company for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were RMB364,632,578 ($56,343,497) and RMB345,042,882 ($52,626,881).

A full valuation allowance has been recorded because it is considered more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized as the Company’s U.S. operations will not generate sufficient future earnings to which the operating losses relate.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

As of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company did not have any other significant temporary differences and carryforwards that may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities.

As of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion.

CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION

Credit risk and concentration of customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities and accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and trading securities were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality.

The Company primarily derived its revenue from petroleum, petrochemical and energy companies operating in the PRC and had certain risk of concentration of customers as follows:

·
As of June 30, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 41% and 34% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 76% and 10% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively. Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011 or March 31, 2011.

·
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 39% and 14% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, four customers individually accounted for 31%, 23%, 21% and 16% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.
 
Concentration of suppliers

The Company sourced industrial valves and other equipment from a few suppliers who individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s costs of revenue:

·
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, three suppliers altogether accounted for 42% of the Company’s costs of revenue (20%, 12% and 10% individually). During the three months ended June 30, 2010, three suppliers altogether accounted for 96% of the Company’s costs of revenue (64%, 19% and 13% individually).

Reportable operating segments include components of an entity about which separate financial information is available and which operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess each operating segment’s performance. Before the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng in July 2010, the Company operated in one reportable business segment - the delivering of petroleum and petrochemical equipment and provision of related technical services using the Company’s proprietary technology and know-how, as well as selling of data processing software for petrochemical, petroleum and other energy companies. Upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng, the Company operated in one more reportable business segment – the developing, manufacturing and selling of organic and inorganic chemicals and high polymer fine chemicals with related technical services, and recycle and sales of discarded product or used packing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this interim report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial data included in this interim report reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.  The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” or similar language. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Company Structure and Reorganization

Our company was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, we changed our name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which is further described below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change-in-control of our company.

On February 26, 2010, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of our company.  Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of our common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to us all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of our shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to our former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.

As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and us to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results of us being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of our company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.

On March 17, 2010, we caused a corporation to be formed under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of us.

Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into our company. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of our company.
 
Our company then became a holding company and, through our subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in distributing clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), distributing a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies. We are also engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial chemical products, which is operated through our subsidiary Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. We also expect to launch our oil sludge cleaning solution in year 2011, which will be operated through our subsidiary, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.

Delivering and leasing oil sludge cleaning equipment, providing oil tank sludge cleaning service, and providing Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”) technical consultancy services

In July 2004, China LianDi was founded and owned as to 60% by Mr. Jianzhong Zuo, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our company, and 40% by another third-party minority shareholder. On October 2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired from such minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for US$1, and accordingly became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008, SJ Asia Pacific Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJI Inc., a company incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo in exchange for: (i) US$1.00; (ii) the commitment to invest HK$60,000,000 (or approximately $7.7 million) in China LianDi; and (iii) the provision of financial support for China LianDi by way of an unlimited shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a result, at such time China LianDi was owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49% by Mr. Zuo.

On January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,” a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and of which Mr. Zuo is a director and holds voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd. (“Rapid Capital”), respectively. On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% of their respective interests in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively. On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%) and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%). As a result, immediately before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.

Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of the 5% interests in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from our principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services to facilitate the private placement.

Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.

In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC.

Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”) was founded on January 28, 2005 and was wholly owned by a third party individual. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin, our wholly-owned subsidiary, injected capital of RMB40.8 million (approximately US$6,023,652) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash and as a result, we indirectly became an owner of a 51% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products and high polymer fine chemical products, and providing chemical professional services.  We believe the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng will enable us to improve our product structure and diversify our channels of business opportunities in the future.

 
41

 
 
On December 31, 2010, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, China LianDi, acquired a 100% equity interest in Hongteng HK (a company incorporated in Hong Kong) from Mr. Zuo, our CEO, for a cash consideration of $2,272. This company has a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in China, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.  Beijing Hongteng is engaged in delivering and leasing oil sludge cleaning equipment, providing oil sludge cleaning services and providing Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”) technical consultancy services.

Private Placement

On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342 shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. We also issued to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26, 2013. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million from the private placement.

Basis of preparation and consolidation and use of estimates

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our company and our subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between our company and our subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the control of management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses significant accounting policies and estimates.

 
l
Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Multiple-deliverable arrangements

We derive revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for us to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:

 
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
 
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
 
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the company.

Our multiple-element contracts generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for us to carry out installation, test runs and performance tests at our cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance period”) stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages of the contract value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance specifications cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return, cancellation or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.

 
43

 

Our delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by us in accordance with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, we have not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.

We may also provide our customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the customer upon expiration of the warranty period. For those contracts with retainage clauses, we defer the recognition of the amounts retained as revenue until expiration of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. We have not provided for warranty costs for those contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based on historical experience.

Product only

Revenue derived from sales contracts that require delivery of products only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers. Titles to the products pass to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.

Software sale

We recognize revenue from the delivery of software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC Topic 985, Software (formerly Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended) and in accordance with SAB 104. Costs of software revenue include amortization of software copyrights.

Service

We recognize revenue from provision of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with SAB 104.

We are subject to business tax and the related surcharges of 5.5% and value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in the PRC, respectively. We present our revenue net of business tax and the related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts and returns. There were no product returns for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 
l
Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year for all reporting units. Goodwill is tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. We recognized no impairment loss on goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

l
Income taxes

The entities within our company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on their taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

In March 2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT Law”), and promulgated related regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.

Beijing JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday through EIT exemption (from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng, established in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC income tax. The applicable income tax rate of Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng is 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.

 
l
Comprehensive income

FASB ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from foreign currency translation adjustments.

 
l
Stock based compensation

We account for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

 
45

 

We account for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expenses as the goods or services are received.

 
l
Earnings per share

We report earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” FASB ASC Topic 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 dilutive effects of convertible securities (using the as-if converted method, and options and warrants and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).

 
l
Foreign currency

We have evaluated the determination of our functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.

Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of our Hong Kong subsidiaries have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.

Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of our PRC subsidiaries have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries is Renminbi.

On our own, we raise financing in the U.S. dollar, pay our own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expect to receive any dividends that may be declared by our subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in the U.S. dollar.

Therefore, it has been determined that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.

We use the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

 
46

 

Our PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are as follows:

 
As of June 30, 2011
 
As of June 30, 2010
       
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
US$1=RMB6.4716
 
US$1=RMB6.7909
       
 
For the three months ended
June 30, 2011
 
For the three months ended
June 30, 2010
       
Items in statements of income and cash flows
US$1=RMB6.5011

Common Stock, Preferred stock and Warrants

 
(a)
Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. We had 1,216,950 common shares outstanding prior to the Share Exchange with China LianDi, and issued 27,354,480 common shares to the shareholders of China LianDi in connection with the Share Exchange.  For accounting purposes, the shares issued to the shareholders of China LianDi are assumed to have been outstanding on April 1, 2008 and the 1,216,950 shares held by our existing shareholders prior to the Share Exchange on February 26, 2010 are assumed to have been issued on that date in exchange for our net assets.

On February 26, 2010, we sold 787,342 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors.

For the year ended March 31, 2011, 1,568,108 shares of preferred stock in the aggregate were converted into the same number of shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, 483,030 shares of preferred stock in the aggregate were converted into the same number of shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.

At June 30, 2011, 31,409,901 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

(b)
Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of which one series of preferred stock has been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, or preferred shares, of which we issued 7,086,078 shares to certain accredited investors in a private placement on February 26, 2010. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock, at a conversion price of $3.50 per share (subject to certain adjustments) at any time at the holder’s option, and will automatically convert at the earlier to occur of the following: (i) twenty-four (24) months following February 26, 2010, and (ii) such time that the volume weighted average price of the common stock is no less than $5.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days with the daily volume of the common stock equal to at least 50,000 shares per day. The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the preferred shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 4, 2010. The preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly, at our option, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock has class voting rights such that we, prior to taking certain corporate actions (including certain issuances or redemptions of its securities or changes in its organizational documents), are required to obtain the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights with our common stock or other equity securities. The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $3.50 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If we cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement for any reasons, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, solely at the holder’s option, can require us to redeem from such holder those Series A Preferred Stock for which we are unable to issue registered shares of common stock at a price equal to the Series A liquidation preference amount, provided that we shall have the sole option to pay such redemption price in cash or restricted shares of common stock.

At June 30, 2011, 5,034,940 preferred shares were outstanding, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $18,008,112.

We have evaluated the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock, without embodying an obligation for us to repurchase or to settle by transferring assets, is not a liability in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Because the event that may trigger redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the delivery of registered shares, is not solely within our control, the Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.

The Series A Preferred Stock holder may request redemption of the preferred stock in the event that our company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement The related registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of June 30, 2011. Therefore, we have determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2011, we have not adjusted the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value or recognize any accretion charges as it is considered not probable that the Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable, in accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Guidance on redeemable preferred stock in ASC 480-10-S99.

In conjunction with the private placement on February 26, 2010, we entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors pursuant to which LianDi Energy delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares of common stock to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 net income performance threshold of $20.5 million. We have evaluated the terms of this escrow arrangement based on the guidance provided in ASC 718-10S99 and concluded that because the escrow shares would be released to our principal stockholder or distributed to the investors without regard to the continued employment of any of our directors or officers, the escrow arrangement is in substance an inducement to facilitate the private placement, rather than compensatory.

Accordingly, we have accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and reflected it as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly issued securities in the private placement, based on its fair value of $4,925,810 as of February 26, 2010.

 
48

 
 
The aggregate fair value of the escrow shares as of February 26, 2010 is allocated to the different securities issued in the private placement according to their respective allocated net proceeds as follows:

   
Net proceeds of
private placement
allocated to
   
Allocation of
escrow shares
 
Discount on common stock
  $ 1,309,380     $ 373,260  
Dividend on preferred stock
    14,059,018       4,007,745  
Discount on warrants
    1,911,156       544,805  
Total
  $ 17,279,554     $ 4,925,810  

The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,142,513 with no further accretion needed after March 31, 2011.

Because the fiscal 2011 performance threshold has been met, 1,722,311 shares will be released to Liandi Energy, the Principal Stockholder.  The Company is currently working with the Escrow Agent to facilitate the release of these shares.

 
(c)
Warrants

On February 26, 2010, we issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75, for cash.  These warrants are exercisable at any time until February 26, 2013.

Also on February 26, 2010, we had issued (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which were issued to the placement agent in connection with the private placement and expire in three years on February 26, 2013.

We have evaluated the terms of the warrants issued in the private placement with reference to the guidance provided in ASC 815-40-15. We have concluded that these warrants are indexed to our own stock, because the warrants have no contingent exercise provision and fixed strike prices which are only subject to adjustments in the event of stock split, combinations, dividends, mergers or other customary corporate events. Therefore, these warrants have been classified as equity.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with the Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also provided non-GAAP measures of net income available to common stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash charge recorded, which related to the fair value of the escrow share allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated as a deemed dividend, and a deduction of net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of our current performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.  We use both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and therefore deem it important to provide all of this information to investors.

The following table presents reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2010: (All amounts in US dollar)

Net Revenue:

Net revenue represents our gross revenue net of taxes and related surcharges as well as discounts and returns. There were no material discounts and returns for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The following tables set forth the analysis of our net revenue:

Technical services
    0.25       0.003  
Sales of chemical products
    7.16       -  
      16.71       9.16  

We generated our revenue from delivery of industrial equipment with the related technical engineering services (including but not limited to installation, integration and system testing), sales of our optimization software, providing software related technical services, providing other technical consultancy services and sales of chemical products. If sales of equipment and the related technical services or sales of software products and the related technical services are included in one agreement as a total solution package, we have neither objective nor reliable evidence for us to separate our total revenue amount into separate categories. Therefore, the revenue amount indicated as technical services in the above table was calculated based on the total revenue amount of stand-alone technical consultancy service agreements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total net revenue increased to US$16.71 million from US$9.16 million for the same period of 2010. Without regard to the US$7.16 million revenue generated from sales of chemical products which were operated by our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is discussed separately below, our total revenue increased by $0.39 million to US$9.56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.  This increase was mainly due to the increase of our software sales, software technical services and other technical consultancy services revenue.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we achieved approximately US$4.04 million of equipment sales and installation revenue, as compared to US$6.35 million for the same period of 2010.  We completed fourteen projects related to sales and installation of equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to  eight projects for the same period of 2010.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, one of these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$2.0 million, one had a contract value greater than US$0.7 million and one had a contract value close to US$0.5 million. For the same period of 2010, one of these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$2 million; two had a contract value greater than US$1 million and one had a contract value greater than US$0.8 million.  Based on the historical statistics of the past two fiscal years, although there were no obvious seasonal factors that affected the volume of our quarterly revenue, the first fiscal quarter had been the lowest sales season of the past two fiscal years, with total revenue and equipment sales and installation revenue achieved less than 10% of the total revenue and equipment sales and installation revenue of a fiscal year, respectively. Therefore, we believe, the decrease of equipment sales and installation revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of last year should not be considered as an adverse indicator of the results that may be expected for any future period and for fiscal year 2012.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we sold 30 sets and 32 sets of our data processing software and achieved approximately US$3.0 million and US$2.8 million of software revenue, respectively. In addition we also achieved approximately US$2.27 million from software and technical consultancy services, which was related to a purchased software use right and the related training and application program.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also achieved approximately US$0.25 million and US$0.003 million of technical consultancy services revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our technical consultancy services revenue achieved was the Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”) consultancy services revenue conducted by our newly acquired subsidiary Beijing Hongteng.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had 31 and 34 signed but uncompleted contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$36.5 million and US$60.3 million, respectively.  We have served the Chinese petroleum and petrochemical industries since 2004 through our operating subsidiaries. We worked for approximately one year to establish relationships with international industrial equipment manufacturers, such as Cameron, DeltaValve and Poyam Valves. We also analyzed the domestic market and the local customers’ needs. As a result, we are one of the few domestic companies able to provide localized services for international companies lacking local offices in China. This process also allowed us to meet the high standards and requirements set by our customers, the major petroleum and petrochemical companies in China, and to become an approved vendor. Along with the rapid growth of the petroleum and petrochemical industries and the rapid growth of the fixed asset investments within these industries, we successfully increased the size and scope of projects performed for our customers from the second half of our fiscal year 2009 and in our fiscal years 2010 and 2011.  Recently, we successfully developed our relationship with several new suppliers, such as ABB, Sandvik and MAC-Clyde, to distribute their products to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies, which expanded our ability to bid for a broader range of products while meeting more of our customers’ needs.  Therefore, we believe, with the successful implementation of our contracts, and our continued efforts in developing the business and enhancing our client and supplier relationships, our revenue will continue to increase in fiscal year 2012.

Our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling the industrial chemical product, Polyacrylamide.  Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in the following areas: (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal and sewage treatments; (3) auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant for river water treatments.  We acquired Anhui Jucheng and became a 51% interest owner of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010. Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 3,100 tons of Polyacrylamide products, and achieved approximately US$7.16 million of net revenue. For the year ending March 31, 2012, management expects to sell approximately 15,000 to 18,000 tons of Polyacrylamide and achieve at least US$34 million of net revenue.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales consists of the equipment purchase cost recognized in-line with the related contract revenue, the amortization amount of our software copyright, and the purchase cost of software use right and software training courses related to the software technical services contract we signed with our customer.  Other direct installation and testing costs related to the software sales and direct cost of performing separate technical services were insignificant based on our historical experience as compared to the related revenue amount.  Therefore, in our normal course of business, we do not consider separate these direct expenses as the software implementation and technical services cost from our total operating expenses as necessary.

Cost of sales of Anhui Jucheng represented the manufacturing cost of the chemical product, Polyacrylamide, sold in each reporting period, which mainly consists of raw material cost (mainly acrylonitrile, acrylic acid and acrylamide solution), salary cost of our manufacturing department and other manufacturing overhead such as electricity, water, depreciation and other manufacturing supplies.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$11.62 million from US$5.18 million for the same period of 2010. Without regard to the cost of sales of US$6.44 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$5.19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase of the cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was consistent with the increase of our net revenue as compared to the same period of 2010.

Without regard to the gross profit generated by our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, which is discussed separately below, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, our gross profit increased to US$4.37 million as compared to US$3.98 million for the same period of 2010.  The level of our overall gross margin was mainly affected by (1) the relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical consultancy services volume for each reporting period, which contributed a much higher gross margin as compared to that of the equipment sales and installation contracts; and (2) the overall average gross margin of our equipment sales and installation projects completed for each reporting period, which normally constituted the majority of our total revenue amount, especially on an annual basis.

Our overall gross margins were 45.7% and 43.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the gross margin for our equipment sales and installation contracts was 17% and 21%, respectively, which was considered normal and stable based on our historical experiences, as compared with the overall average gross margins of our equipment sales and installation projects for fiscal year 2011 and 2010, which was 19% and 18%, respectively. As explained above, as the first fiscal quarter was normally the lowest sales season of a year with less than 10% of equipment and installation revenue recognized as compared to that for a whole year, the fluctuation of gross profit margin for the first quarter should not be considered indicative of that on a fiscal yearly basis.

The relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical consultancy services volume over the total net revenue we achieved (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng) were 58% and 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the overall gross margin for our separate software sales and technical services were 67% and 95%, respectively.  For the data processing software revenue which was approximately US$3.0 million and US$2.81 million, respectively, the gross profit was 95% for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. As for the purchased software use right and the related technical consultancy services project, which was approximately US$2.27 million (90% of the total technical services revenue, 41% of the total software sales and technical consultancy services revenue), the overall margin of this project was about 27%, which is the main reason for the decrease of the overall software sales and technical consultancy services gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.

We believe that our overall gross margin is typically between 20%-30% on equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services on a fiscal year basis, based on our existing business models. As discussed above, on a quarterly basis, our overall gross margin might not be stable and comparable to each other, which was mainly because of the different percentage of the software and technical services revenue and the equipment sales and installation revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period), which contribute a very different gross margin as compared with each other. As of June 30, 2011, we do not have any material uncompleted equipment sales and installation contracts signed with gross margin significantly below our average gross margin, which was 15%-20%. Therefore, we believe that these existing uncompleted contracts will not have an adverse impact on our future gross margin. We will continue to monitor and review our sales contracts to determine if there will be any adverse impact on our gross margin in future reporting periods.

Anhui Jucheng achieved a 10% gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011, improved from the last three fiscal quarters which was approximately 7%-8%.  The overall market supply of the raw material for the production of polyacrylamide was relatively insufficient in calendar year 2010, which caused an increase in the raw material purchase price. However, this situation recently improved and we also gradually increased our product selling price.  Therefore, overall gross margin improved for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Meanwhile, management is making efforts to sell our products to end users directly in the future, instead of selling through distributors. If this can be achieved, we believe our gross margin for this segment will further improve to approximately 15%-20%.

1.
Equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services

Selling expenses:

Our selling expenses increased to US$0.28 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from US$0.14 million for the same period of 2010.  Our selling expenses mainly include freight, marketing research and development expenses, salary expenses and traveling expenses of our sales department.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011: (1) salary expenses and other staff related benefits increased by approximately US$0.03 million, which was mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, the newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011; (1) traveling expenses, entertainment expenses, communication expenses and other general office expenses of our sales department also increased by approximately US$0.03 million for the same reason; and (2) marketing research and development expenses increased by approximately US$0.07 million as compared to the same period of 2010, as we participated in more research project and contract bidding activities as compared with the same period of 2010.

 
56

 

According to our past experiences, we believe that the percentage of our total selling expenses compared to the total net revenue recognized for the corresponding period for each reporting period is immaterial (normally 3%-5% of the total net revenue) and may not be stable and comparable on a quarterly basis, because our average total solution business cycle is normally from six months to twelve months, and a significant portion of our sales activities (including but not limited to attending bidding invitation meetings, providing customers surveys and analysis, presenting proposals to customers, and finalizing total solution packages with customers) were performed before the contracts were signed, in consideration of the pre-market activities that may not generate revenue. In accordance with the principles set by GAAP, our expenses for the “pre-contract” stage were expensed and recorded in earnings when they occurred. Therefore, the amount of “pre-contract” expenses directly related to the marketing activities and number of contracts we participated in during each reporting period, but not to the corresponding contract revenue being recognized.

General and administrative expenses:

Our general and administrative expenses increased to US$0.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from US$0.55 million for the same period of 2010.  Our general and administrative expenses mainly include: (1) salary and benefits for management and administrative departments (finance, importation, human resources and administration); (2) office rental and other administrative supplies; (3) management’s traveling expenses; (4) general communication and entertainment expenses; and (5) professional service charges (including but not limited to legal, audits, financial consultancy and investor relations). We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as we hire additional personnel and incur additional costs in connection with the expansion of our business. We also expect to incur increased professional services costs in the future in connection with disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws, and our efforts to continue to improve our internal control systems in-line with the expansion of our business.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, (1) rental expenses decreased by approximately US$0.04 million mainly due to the decrease of office space leased for our HK subsidiaries from September 2010; (2) salary expenses and the related staff welfare increased by approximately US$0.03 million mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, our newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011; (3) general office administration expenses decreased by approximately US$0.02 million mainly due to the decease of general office expenses of our HK subsidiaries, because we  engaged a third party service provider to help us handle the contracts settlement transactions with the commercial banks in HK. However, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, we handled most of these transactions with our HK banks without any assistance from third parties; and (4) professional services charges related to our U.S. reporting requirements as a public company and share based compensation expenses for the professional services increased by approximately US$0.05 million as we continue to improve our reporting and internal control systems in-line with the expansion of our business.

Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses represent the salary expenses and other related expenses of our research and development department. Our research and development expenses were US$0.06 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future as we plan to hire additional R&D personnel to strengthen the functionality of our current software products, develop additional competitive industrial software products and provide more software related technical consultancy services.

Operating profits

As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit increased to US$3.55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which approximately US$3.46 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.09 million was generated from our sales of chemical products, as compared to the US$3.23 million operating profit we achieved for the same period of 2010.

Other income and expenses

Our other income and expenses mainly include interest income, interest expenses and bank charges for credit facilities, exchange gains or losses, value added tax refund, other income and expenses.

Interest income, interest expenses, bank charges and exchange gains or losses:

l
Interest income represents the interest income we earned from cash deposits we kept in the commercial banks.

l
Interest expenses represented the interest expenses incurred for the working capital loans we borrowed from our shareholders (annual interest rate of 3% to 5%), the short-term working capital bank loans borrowed by Anhui Jucheng, short-term bank loans borrowed for the exportation of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and the bank overdraft charges. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred approximately US$0.06 million in interest expenses for the shareholder loans, approximately US$0.05 million in interest expenses for the short-term bank loans, of which approximately US$0.03 million was for the working capital loans borrowed by Anhui Jucheng and approximately US$0.02 million for the short-term bank loan borrowed for importation of the oil sludge cleaning equipment. We also incurred approximately US$0.02 million of bank overdraft charges.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we also incurred approximately US$0.02 million in bank charges for the credit facilities granted by our banks for the importation of equipment for our equipment sales and installation contracts.

 
58

 

l
Exchange loss incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was mainly due to the devaluation of the US dollar against Renminbi, Japanese Yen and Euro. Exchange loss increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to the continual devaluation of the US dollar against Renminbi recently.

Value added tax refund:

Our PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been recognized by the PRC government as a software enterprise. The standard value added tax rate for sales of products of PRC enterprises is 17%. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect to sales of software products. We pay 17% value added tax for our software sales and the tax authorities will refund us 14% of the value added tax that we paid normally within about 1-2 months. This refund is regarded as subsidy income granted by the PRC government and we recognize the value added tax refund as other income only when it has been received. There is no condition to the use of the refund received. We received approximately US$nil and US$0.37 million of value added tax refund for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Other:

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng achieved approximately US$0.07 million of other income from the selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies.

Income before income tax

As a result of the foregoing, our income before income tax decreased to US$3.11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which approximately US$2.99 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.12 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$3.41 million income before income tax we achieved for the same period of 2010.

Income tax expenses

The entities within our company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, and the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries are generally subject to Hong Kong profits tax on their taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2011, respectively.

Beijing JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday through EIT exemption (from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

 
59

 

Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng are subject to 25% income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.

Income tax expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which was mainly due to the expiration of the EIT exemption period of Beijing JianXin, and from January 1, 2011, Beijing JianXin is subject to 12.5% EIT until December 31, 2013.

The new income tax law in China imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the new income tax law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As our subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to us for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were RMB364,632,578 ($56,343,497) and RMB345,042,882 ($52,626,881), respectively.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased to US$2.66 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which approximately US$2.57 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.09 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$3.41 million net income we achieved for the same period of 2010.

Income attributable to non-controlling interests

Net income generated from our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, was allocated to the non-controlling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng based on his respective percentage of the ownership in the entity. Based on the percentage ownership of Anhui Jucheng, approximately US$0.045 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net income was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling interest shareholders of Anhui Jucheng for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders

Net income minus income attributable to non-controlling interests is net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was US$2.62 million and US$3.41 million, respectively.

Preferred stock deemed dividend

The fair value of the escrow shares is attributed to the different newly issued securities in the private placement and was allocated according to the newly issued securities’ respective fair value at February 26, 2010:

Allocation of
escrow shares
 
Discount on common stock
  $ 373,260  
Dividend on preferred stock
    4,007,745  
Discount on warrants
    544,805  
Total
  $ 4,925,810  

The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was approximately nil and US$1.14 million, which were recorded as a deduction to the net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean for the three months ended June 30, 2010 with no further accretion needed after March 31, 2011.

Preferred stock dividend

In accordance with the securities purchase agreement we entered into with our investors on February 26, 2010, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%. The amount of the preferred stock dividend we accrued was calculated by the liquidation preference amount of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was US$3.50 per share, and the actual number of days each share was outstanding within the reporting period. The total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$0.36 million and US$0.49 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean

Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders minus preferred stock deemed dividend and preferred stock cash dividend is net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was US$2.25 million and US$1.78 million, respectively.

B.  Liquidity and capital resources

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.  As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$64.36 million.

Our liquidity needs include: net cash used in operating activities, which mainly consists of: (a) cash required for importing the equipment to be distributed to our customers and cash required for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, to purchase raw materials for the manufacturing of chemical products; (b) related freight and other distribution expenses for our shipments of equipment to customers and manufacturing expenses for the production of chemical products; and (c) our general working capital needs, which include payment for staff salary and benefits, payment for office rent and other administrative supplies. Our net cash used in investing activities mainly consists of the investments in computers and other office equipment, investment in purchasing of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and upgrading and enhancing the existing manufacturing facilities for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng.  Before June 30, 2009, we financed our liquidity needs primarily through working capital loans obtained from our shareholders. From the second half of our fiscal year 2010, along with the significant increase of our net income and our efficient management of the collection of the trade receivables and other receivables, we started to generate positive cash flow from our operating activities on an annual basis, and repaid a significant portion of the shareholder loan from our Japanese shareholder and Mr. Zuo, our CEO and President. Currently, we primarily finance our liquidity needs through net cash generated from our own operating activities.

Therefore, in the aggregate, these transactions resulted in an approximately US$3.8 million cash outflow for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities:

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our net cash used in investing activities mainly consisted of the following transactions: (1) we spent approximately US$0.93 million for purchasing the oil sludge cleaning equipment; (2) our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, prepaid approximately US$0.43 million to purchase equipment for upgrading of its current manufacturing facilities; (3) Anhui Jucheng also spent approximately US$0.07 million for purchasing other general office equipment.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow from investing activities of approximately US$1.43 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the approximate US$4.91 million cash outflow used in investing activities mainly consisted of: (1) an approximately US$4.83 million temporary loan we lent to a third party which had been collected in July 2010; and (2) approximately US$0.08 million spent for purchasing of office equipment and computer software.

 
62

 

Net cash used in financing activities:

Our net cash used in or provided by financing activities included the following transactions: (1) the loans we borrowed from or repaid to our shareholders and noncontrolling shareholder of our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng; (2) cash used for the payment of the cash dividends to our convertible preferred stockholders; (3) the decrease or increase of our restricted cash balance, which represents our bank deposits held as collateral for our credit facilities; (4) short-term loans and revolving lines of credit we borrowed from or repaid to commercial banks; and (5) temporary loans we borrowed from or repaid to other third parties.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, (1) we paid approximately US$0.39 million cash for the dividends on our convertible preferred stock; (2) as of June 30, 2011, the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$0.26 million as collateral for issuance of contract performance guarantees to our customers as compared to that of March 31, 2011, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities; (3) we repaid approximately US$0.09 million to the noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng and approximately US$0.68 million of the shareholder’s loan to Mr. Zuo, President and CEO of our company; (4) we borrowed approximately US$3.2 million short-term bank loans for the importation of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and revolving lines of credit and repaid approximately US$0.70 million of the short-term bank loans we borrowed in the last quarter; and (5) we also repaid approximately US$6.1 million of third party loans we borrowed temporarily in the last quarter for our short RMB financing needs for the tender bidding purposes.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow for financing activities of approximately US$5.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, (1) we repaid approximately US$0.34 million to our shareholder, Mr. Zuo; (2) as of June 30, 2010, the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$1.47 million as collateral for the issuance of contract performance guarantees to our customers as compared to that of March 31, 2010, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities. In the aggregate, these two transactions resulted in a net cash outflow for financing activities of approximately US$1.81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, we still owe our Japanese shareholder approximately US$7.44 million. Based on the loan agreements we signed with our Japanese shareholder, these outstanding loans bear interest at 3%-5% per annum. Any delayed repayment of these loans without the prior consent from our Japanese shareholder is subject to a 1% penalty. Although we did not receive any commitment from our Japanese shareholder not to demand repayment of the loan, we believe that, along with the rapid growth of our revenue and cash generated from operating activities in fiscal year 2011 and 2010, our financial position has improved to the point which allows us to repay our shareholders’ loan using money earned from operations on demand without having any significant adverse impact on our financial position and operations.

Credit Facilities:

As of June 30, 2011, we had available banking facilities (“General Facilities”), which consisted of overdraft, guarantee line and import trade finance and facilities for negotiation of export documentary credit discrepant bills against letters of indemnity, up to an aggregate amount of HK$135.3 million (equivalent to approximately $17.39 million) and EURO 1 million (equivalent to approximately $1.45 million). Collateral for the General Facilities include the Company’s bank deposits classified as restricted cash and trading securities, an unlimited guarantee from Mr. Jianzhong Zuo (CEO and Chairman of the Company), a standby letter of credit of not less than HK$110 million (or approximately $14.14 million) issued by a bank which is in turn guaranteed by SJI Inc. (the holding company of SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a stockholder of our company) and an undertaking from Hua Shen HK to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than HK$5 million (or approximately $0.64 million).

 
63

 

As of June 30, 2011, there were outstanding contract performance guarantees of $3,915,471 issued by the banks on behalf of our company, of which $1,242,081 were granted under the General Facilities. Apart from these contract performance guarantees and bank overdrafts as described in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2011, there was no other borrowing under the General Facilities as of June 30, 2011.

On August 6, 2009, we obtained a banking facility for import facilities up to HK$6 million (equivalent to approximately $774,000) under a Special Loan Guarantee Scheme sponsored and guaranteed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Government Sponsored Facility”). Collateral for the Government Sponsored Facility include a guarantee for HK$6 million from China LianDi. As of June 30, 2011, there was no borrowing under the Government Sponsored Facility.

The General Facilities expired in July 2011 and we are negotiating with the banks to renew the facilities. Management expects that these facilities will be formally renewed by the end of August 2011.

We did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2011.
