Mr. Xianfu Han, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China ACM, commented, Although we experienced a year-over-year decrease in revenue growth for the first quarter of FY 2013, such decrease was principally due to the suspension of some portable plants. In order to curtail future losses, we will continue our efforts to improve the collection of account receivables, expand our plant network, and increase our client base for the rest of the year. We are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to reduce our losses during the next quarter and the rest of the year.
First Quarter FY 2013 Results
Revenue. Our revenue is primarily generated from sales of our advanced ready-mix concrete products, manufacturing services and technical consulting services. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we generated revenue of $30.8 million, compared to $44.6 million during the same period in 2011, a decrease of $13.8 million, or 31%. The decrease in our revenue is due primarily to decreased revenue from our manufacturing services and concrete sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Our concrete sales revenue was $28.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $11.2 million or 28% from the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenues from concrete sales was principally due to the decreased demand of concrete sales in line with slowing down of the housing market and overall economic growth.
Revenue from our manufacturing services segment was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 57%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Such decrease in revenue was attributable principally to the suspension of operations of certain of our portable plants during the three months ended September 30, 2012, in light of an increase in audit inspections at high speed rail construction sites around China resulting from the recent heightened public scrutiny of railway safety in China.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our gross profit for the sale of concrete was $7 million, or 24% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $9.9 million, or 25% of revenue, for the same period last year. The decreased gross profit margin reflects lower demand and lower prices for our concrete products in Beijing as compared to the same period last year.
Our gross profit with respect to our manufacturing services segment was $0.3 million, or 16% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.5 million, as compared to $0.8 million, or 18% of revenue, for the same period last year. Such decrease was principally due to the suspension of operations of certain of our portable plants for three months ended September 30, 2012.
Provision for doubtful accounts. We incurred provision for doubtful accounts of $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $2.3 million, as compared to $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. An estimate of doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. The accrual ratio is 5% for accounts receivable past due less than one year, 50% for accounts receivable past due from one to two years and 100% for accounts receivable past due beyond two years. In accordance with our allowance for doubtful accounts policy, at the end of each quarter, we conduct an aging analysis of each customers arrears to determine whether allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. In establishing allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, economy, trends in the construction industry, the expected collectability of amount receivable that are past due, and the expected collectability of overdue receivables.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and marketing costs, office rent and expenses, costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, and professional and legal fees paid to third parties. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $0.8 million, or 32%, as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was principally due to an increase in consulting services, salary and employment benefit expense, conference expenses and meal & entertainment expenses, and office expenses.
Net Income (Loss). We recognized net loss of approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net income of approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $8.5 million. Such decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in gross profits of concrete sales and manufacturing service, the increase in provision of doubtful accounts, consulting service associated with the going private transaction and selling, general, and administrative expense from an increase in our labor base and scale of operations.
