1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Nature
of operations
LianDi
Clean Technology Inc. (formerly known as Remediation Service Inc.) (“LianDi
Clean” or the “Company”) is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries,
primarily engages in distributing of clean technology for refineries (unheading
units for the delayed coking process), distributing of a wide range of petroleum
and petrochemical valves and equipments, 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.
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. As such, 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 that minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for
US$1, and hence became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008,
SJ Asia Pacific Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Island and
wholly owned by SJI Inc., which was incorporated in Japan and whose shares are
listed on Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired 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 unlimited
shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a
result, China LianDi had been owned as to 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49%
by Mr. Zuo.

NOTE
1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
On
January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred 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 Island and wholly owned
by SJ Asia Pacific Limited whereas Mr. Zuo is a director of this company 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 (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 Holdings Limited (“Rapid Capital”)
and 3% by TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPont”).
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.
Reverse
Acquisition
On
February 26, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), 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.

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, 2010, 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, 2010.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
LianDi Clean and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
balances or transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
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:

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 they are
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 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 quality 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.
Product

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.

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).
All per
share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to
reflect the reverse acquisition consummated on February 26, 2010 (see Note 1 for
further details), whereby the 27,354,480 shares of common stock issued by
Remediation Services, Inc. (nominal acquirer) to the Company’s shareholder
(nominal acquiree) are deemed to be the number of shares outstanding for the
periods prior to the reverse acquisition. For periods after the reverse
acquisition, the number of shares considered to be outstanding is the actual
number of shares outstanding during those periods.
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

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 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 is Renminbi.
On the
whole, historically, the Company’s sales and purchase contracts have
substantially been entered into by its Hong Kong subsidiaries and denominated
and settled in the U.S. dollar.
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 dividend that will
ever be 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 dollars (“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 U.S.
Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars 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.

The
Company’s PRC subsidiary maintains its 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 U.S.

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. dollars 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
(formerly SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments”). 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.
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
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.
The
carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and
payables, and short-term debts approximate fair values due to their short
maturities.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as

Recent
accounting pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions in ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements, which requires new disclosures related to transfers in and
out of levels 1 and 2 and activity in level 3 fair value measurements, as well
as amends existing disclosure requirements on level of disaggregation and inputs
and valuation techniques. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2010-06 did not
have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
authoritative guidance that amends the disclosure requirements related to
subsequent events. This guidance includes the definition of a Securities and
Exchange Commission filer, removes the definition of a public entity,
redefines the reissuance disclosure requirements and allows public companies to
omit the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after February 2010. This guidance did
not materially impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position,
but did require changes to the Company’s disclosures in its financial
statements.

Recent
accounting pronouncements-Continued
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic
718), which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment
award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which
the underlying equity security trades. This Update provides amendments to Topic
718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price
denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the
entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an
entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies
as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2010. The Company expects that the adoption of the amendments in this Update
will not have any significant impact on its financial position and results of
operations.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other

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. This software
copyright is amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years using the
straight-line method. Amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 were $151,976 and $146,751 respectively.

Exchange with China LianDi, and, as described in Note 1, 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

(b) Preferred
Stock
The
Company is 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, of which the Company issued 7,086,078 shares to certain
accredited investors upon 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) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the closing date on
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 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), 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 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 (“Mandatory Redemption”), provided that
the Company shall have the sole option to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price in
cash or restricted shares of Common Stock.
At June
30, 2010, 6,886,078 Preferred Shares were outstanding, with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $24,779,992.
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, i.e. 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. Since this 180-day period will end on August 25, 2010 (the
“Effectiveness Date”), the Company has determined that the preferred stock is
not currently redeemable.

(b) Preferred
Stock (continued)
Up to the
date of approval of these financial statements, the Company has not encountered
significant impediments in the process of preparing and filing the registration
statement. Therefore, the Company has estimated that it would be more likely
than not that the Company could cause the registration statement to be declared
effective on or before the Effectiveness Date. Accordingly, the Company has
determined that it is not probable that the preferred stock will become
redeemable. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, the Company has 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.
If the
preferred stock is currently redeemable, the Company will adjust the amount of
the preferred stock to its maximum redemption amount at each balance sheet date,
in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99 (or paragraph 14 of ASU
2009-04). If it is probable that the preferred stock will become redeemable, the
Company will accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the
date of issuance of the preferred stock to the earliest redemption date (i.e.,
the Effectiveness Date), using the interest method, in accordance with the
guidance in ASC 480-10-S99 (or paragraph 15 of ASU 2009-04).
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 as compensatory.
As such,
the Company has accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its
nature and reflected them 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:

The

has concluded that these warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stocks,
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

14 STATUTORY RESERVES
The
Company’s subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, being incorporated in the PRC is required
on an annual basis to make appropriations of retained earnings set at certain
percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting
standards and regulations (“PRC GAAP”). Beijing JianXin must make appropriations
to (i) general reserve and (ii) enterprise expansion fund in accordance with the
Law of the PRC on Enterprises Operated Exclusively with Foreign
Capital.
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 Beijing
JianXin’s 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 the production
and operation; it also may be used for increasing the registered capital. There
was no transfer from retained earnings to statutory reserves during the year
ended March 31, 2010 and thereafter, because the statutory reserves of
$1,138,733 at March 31, 2009 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 the Company decided not to make any
appropriations to the statutory reserves during the quarter ended June 30,
2010.
NOTE

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.

jurisdictions that 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 its taxable income derived from the
trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the years
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
In March
2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New
EIT Law, and promulgated related regulation, Implementing Regulations for the
PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulation 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 being established in the PRC is 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 tax holiday for two-year EIT

statements, it is considered not probable that the Company will be required to
pay any liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement and no
provision has been made.
NOTE
20 SEGMENT DATA
The
Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which
requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes
decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their
performance. 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. The Company has primarily engaged in 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.
Much of the information provided in these consolidated financial statements is
similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company’s
COMD. As a result, the Company operates and manages its business as a single
operating segment.
The
following tables set out the analysis of the Company’s net revenue:

ITEM
2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis.
The
statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including under
the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and other sections of this quarterly report, include
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements
regarding our or our management's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or
strategies regarding the future. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate,"
"continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "plan" and similar expressions may
identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements
contained in this quarterly report are based on our current expectations and
beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There
can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we
have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks,
uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that
may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in
these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities
laws. Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references to "we", "us", the “Company" or “LianDi" in
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q refers to LianDi Clean Technology
Inc.
Company
Structure and Reorganization
Our
company (formerly known as Remediation Services, Inc.) 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 (the “Closing Date”), 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.
31
On March
17, 2010, we 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. As such,
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 now 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 equipments, 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.

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 that
minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for US$1, and
hence 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., which was incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed
on Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired 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 unlimited
shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a
result, at such times China LianDi was owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and
49% by Mr. Zuo.
32
On
January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred 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; Mr. Zuo is a director of this company 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 (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 as to 5% by Dragon Excel
Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital Holdings Limited (“Rapid
Capital”) and 3% by TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPont”).
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 our
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.
Private
Placement
On
February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we completed a
private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to a securities
purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and
sold 787,342 units (the “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 (the “Issued Common Shares”), (c) Series A Warrants (the “Series A
Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise
price of $4.50 per share (the “Series A Warrant Shares”) for a three-year
period, and (d) Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with
the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of
common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “Series B Warrant
Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”)
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 following
(a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, 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 we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements
should be read in conjuction with our consolidated financial statements and
accompanying footnotes for the year ended March 31, 2010.
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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2010, we adopted the provisions in ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements, which requires new disclosures related to transfers in and
out of levels 1 and 2 and activity in level 3 fair value measurements, as well
as amends existing disclosure requirements on level of disaggregation and inputs
and valuation techniques. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2010-06 did not
have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
authoritative guidance that amends the disclosure requirements related to
subsequent events. This guidance includes the definition of a Securities and
Exchange Commission filer, removes the definition of a public entity, redefines
the reissuance disclosure requirements and allows public companies to omit the
disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This
guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after February 2010. This guidance did not materially impact our
results of operations or financial position, but did require changes to our
disclosures in our financial statements.
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic
718), which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment
award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which
the underlying equity security trades. This Update provides amendments to Topic
718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price
denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the
entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an
entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies
as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2010. We expect that the adoption of the amendments in this Update will not have
any significant impact on our financial position and results of
operations.
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 our Consolidated Financial Statements
upon adoption.
34
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. Our significant
accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements attached hereto. However, 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.
•
|
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.
Our
delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer until they are
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 customer.
35
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 quality 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 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
We
recognize revenue from provision of services when the service has been
performed, in accordance with SAB 104.
We are
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. We present our
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, 2010 and 2009.
•
|
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 consolidated statements of income in the
period in which the criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as discussed
above.
36
•
|
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, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow are
generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on its 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, 2010 and 2009.
In March
2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT
Law”), and promulgated related regulation, implementing regulations for the PRC
Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulation 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 with its own software product 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.
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.
•
|
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.
•
|
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).
All per
share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to
reflect the reverse acquisition consummated on February 26, 2010, whereby the
27,354,480 shares of common stock issued by Remediation (nominal acquirer) to
our shareholders (nominal acquiree) are deemed to be the number of shares
outstanding for the periods prior to the reverse acquisition. For periods after
the reverse acquisition, the number of shares considered to be outstanding is
the actual number of shares outstanding during those periods.

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, Hua Shen HK, PEL
HK and Bright Flow HK 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 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 is Renminbi.
Historically,
a substantial proportion of our sales and purchase contracts have been entered
into by our Hong Kong subsidiaries and denominated and settled in the U.S.
dollar.
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 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 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
United States dollars (“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 U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S.
Dollars 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.
Our PRC
subsidiary maintains its 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 U.S.
Dollars 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:

significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect our financial condition in

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.
On June
25, 2010, 200,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into 200,000 shares
of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.
At June
30, 2010, 29,558,772 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, of which we issued 7,086,078 shares to certain accredited investors upon
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) the
twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the closing date on 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
the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount (“Mandatory Redemption”), provided
that we shall have the sole option to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price in cash
or restricted shares of common stock.
39
At June
30, 2010, 6,886,078 Preferred Shares were outstanding, with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $24,779,992.
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, i.e. 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 for redemption of the preferred
stock in the event that our company cannot issue shares of common stock
registered for resale under the registration statement. However, according to
the registration rights agreement between the investors (who are also the
preferred stockholders) and us, we are 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. Since this 180-day period will end on August 25, 2010 (the “Effectiveness
Date”), we have determined that the preferred stock is not currently
redeemable.
We have
not encountered significant impediments in the process of preparing and filing
the registration statement. Therefore, we have estimated that it would be more
likely than not that we could cause the registration statement to be declared
effective on or before the Effectiveness Date. Accordingly, we have determined
that it is not probable that the preferred stock will become
redeemable. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, 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.
If the
preferred stock is currently redeemable, we will adjust the amount of the
preferred stock to its maximum redemption amount at each balance sheet date, in
accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99 (or paragraph 14 of ASU
2009-04). If it is probable that the preferred stock will become redeemable, we
will accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of
issuance of the preferred stock to the earliest redemption date (i.e., the
Effectiveness Date), using the interest method, in accordance with the guidance
in ASC 480-10-S99 (or paragraph 15 of ASU 2009-04).
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 as
compensatory.
40
As such,
we have accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and
reflected them 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:

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.

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 for three years
from February 26, 2010.
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 stocks, 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 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 charges
recorded, which related to the escrow share arrangement allocated to the Series
A preferred stock, treated as deemed dividend, a deduction of net income
available to common stockholders in conjunction to the Private Placement we
consummated on February 26, 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 deems it important to
provide all of this information to investors.

following table presented reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to

Net
Revenue:
Net
revenue represents our gross revenue net of business tax, value added tax and
related surcharges as well as discounts and returns. There were no discounts and
returns for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

We
generated our revenue from delivery of equipment with the related technical
engineering services (including but not limited to installation, integration and
system testing), and sales of our optimization software. Generally, sales of
equipment, the related technical services and the optimization software are
included in one agreement as a total solution package. However, in some cases,
customers sign agreements with us to purchase equipment, software products or
consultancy services individually. Under the total solution agreements, we have
neither objective nor reliable evidence for us to separate our total revenue
amount into separate categories. Therefore, the revenue amount indicated as
sales of software and technical consultancy services in the above tables was
calculated based on the total revenue amount of individual
agreements.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2010, our total net revenue increased to US$9.16
million from US$7.17 million for the same period of 2009. This increase was
mainly due to the increase of our software revenue. For the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we sold 32 sets and 8 sets of our data
processing software, respectively, and achieved US$2.8 million and US$0.7
million of software revenue respectively. For the three months ended
June 30, 2010, we completed 7 projects related to sales and installation of
equipment as compared to 16 projects related to sales and installation of
equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We achieved approximately
US$6.4 million and US$6.5 million of equipment sales and installation revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, one of
these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$2 million and two
had a contract value greater than US$1 million. For the same period
of 2009, only one of these completed projects had a contract value of more than
US$1 million and five had a contract value of more than US$0.5
million.
44
As of
June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had 34 and 17 signed but uncompleted contracts,
respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$60.3 million and
US$33.1 million, respectively. These achievements were mainly a result of our
successful establishment of an experienced sales and implementation team. As a
result, we have earned a good reputation among our customers within the
industry. We have served the Chinese petroleum and petrochemical industries
since 2004 through our four 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 assets 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 year
2010. We believe, with the successful implementation of our
contracts, and our continued efforts in developing the business and enhancing
our client relationships, our revenue will continue to increase in fiscal year
2011.
The
revenue amount we received from our customers on delivery and installation
contracts prior to the completion of related technical services and the delivery
of acceptance certificates was recorded as deferred revenue. As of the three
months ended June 30, 2010, approximately US$1.3 million was recorded as
deferred revenue. Accordingly, the related equipment purchase costs that
actually occurred for these uncompleted projects (for each reporting period)
were recorded as deferred cost of revenue. As of the three months ended June 30,
2010, we had recorded approximately US$1.2 million as deferred costs. We track
and record the deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue on a project basis.
The deferred revenue and deferred cost will be recognized as revenue and cost of
revenue with the completion of the related technical services and receipt of an
acceptance certificate from our customers on a matching basis. The gross margin
of each reporting period reflects the actual gross profitability of contracts
completed in each reporting period.
Cost
of sales:
Cost of
sales consist of the equipment purchase cost recognized in-line with the
contract revenue, which is recognized in each reporting period, and the
amortization amount of our software copyright. Our total cost of sales increased
slightly to US$5.18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from
US$5.16 million for the same period of 2009. This increase is in-line with the
increases in our total net revenue recognized in each reporting period.

Our gross
profit increased to US$4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from
US$ 2 million for the same period of 2009. The level of our overall
gross margin was affected by the relative percentage of our separate software
sales volume for each reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, there were no software sales being included in the total solution
agreement with our customers. The cost of our software sales consisted of the
amortization of our purchased software copyright during each reporting period.
Other direct installation and testing costs related to the software sales were
insignificant based on our historical experience, and we did not separate these
software related expenses from our total expenses in the normal course of
business.
Our
overall gross margin increased to 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2010
as compared to 28% overall gross margin we achieved for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. This was mainly due to the percentage of the separate software
sales (which we believe have a general gross margin of about 85%-95%) over the
total revenue for the corresponding period significantly increased to 31% for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 10% for the same period of 2009.
According to our historical experiences, the general gross margin for our
equipment delivery and installation contracts is about 15%-25%. For the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the gross margin of our delivery and
installation contracts was 21% and 22%, respectively, which was considered
normal and stable. We believe, along with the increase of our equipment delivery
and installation contracts that will be completed in the following reporting
periods in fiscal year 2011, the percentage of the software revenue will
decrease accordingly.
We
believe that our overall gross margin is typically between 25%-35% on a fiscal
year basis. Typically, our gross margin reflects the actual gross profitability
of the contracts that we completed in each reporting period with all revenue and
cost of revenue being recognized on a matching basis in the same reporting
period. Generally, the factors that normally affect our gross margin in each
reporting period include (1) the percentage of the software sales for each
reporting period; and (2) if we completed any larger revenue contracts that had
lower gross margin as compared to other contracts in the reporting period.
Normally, the relatively lower gross margin contracts were signed as a result of
a more intense commercial competition for certain individual contracts. As of
June 30, 2010, we do not have any material uncompleted contract signed with
gross margin below our average gross margin. 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.

Selling
expenses:
Our
selling expenses decreased to US$0.14 million for the three months ended June
30, 2010 from US$0.27 million for the same period of 2009. Our
selling expenses mainly include freight, marketing research expenses, salary
expenses and traveling expenses.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the decrease in selling expenses was
mainly due to the following reasons: (1) freight expenses decreased by
approximately US$0.07 million due to more shipments being made during the three
month period ended June 30, 2009 for the equipment contracts delivered but not
installed or finally accepted as of June 30, 2009, as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2010, in which most of our uncompleted contracts were
still in the stage of placing orders and making prepayments to suppliers; (2)
marketing research expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2010
decreased approximately US$0.06 million as compared to the same period of 2009,
which was mainly a result of our successful brand and client relationship
building activities performed in prior years which enabled us to decrease some
of our market research costs in this year.
We
believe that the percentage of our total selling expenses over the total net
revenue for the corresponding period for each reporting period may not be
stable, 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 accordingly and in accordance with the conservative
principles set by US 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 relate 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$0.55 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 from US$0.32 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009. 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 (such as valuations
and audits). 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, 2010 and 2009, our general and administrative
expenses increased due to the following reasons: (1) a US$0.03 million increase
of rental expenses because of a rent-free period granted to us in June 2009; (2)
an approximately US$0.04 million increase in general office administration
expenses which was in-line with the expansion of our business support
activities; and (3) an approximately US$0.16 million increase in professional
services charges related to our U.S. reporting requirements as a public company.
Accordingly, the percentage of our total general and administrative expenses
relative to total net revenue of the corresponding period increased to 6% from
4.5% for the previous reporting period. We expect that our general and
administrative expenses will increase in future periods and we will
incur additional costs in connection with the professional services costs 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.
47
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 increased to US$0.06 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 compared with US$0.01 million for the same period of 2009 due to
an increase of the technical staff to meet our R&D needs. 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 and develop additional competitive industrial software
products.
Operating
profits
As a
result of the foregoing, our operating profit increased significantly to US$3.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from US$1.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009.
Other
income and expenses
Our other
income and expenses mainly include interest income, interest expenses, bank
charges, exchange gains or losses, value added tax refund, other income and
expenses.
Interest income, interest
expenses, bank charges and exchange gains or losses:
Interest
income represents the interest income we earned from cash deposits. Interest
expenses relate to the working capital loans we borrowed from our Japanese
shareholder (annual interest rate of 3% to 5%). The increase of our
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to the increase
of the cash deposit we kept as a result of our financing consummated in February
2010. Bank charges represent handling charges for issuance of letters of credit
and other bank transactions. Our bank charges increased by about US$0.05
million, which was mainly due to more transactions related to prepayment to our
equipment suppliers incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the same period of 2009. The interest expenses for our Japanese
shareholder’s loan decreased by about US$0.03 million which as a result of the
principal amount we borrowed from our shareholders decreased significantly as of
June 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2009. Exchange losses occurred was mainly
due to the devaluation of the US dollar against Japanese Yuan and Euro, which
related to our Japanese shareholder’s loan or cash deposit we kept in
Euro.
Value added tax
refund
Our PRC
subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been recognized by the PRC government as a
software enterprise with its own software copyright. 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
self-developed 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
pay normally within about 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 and only when it has been received. There
is no condition to the use of the refund received. We received approximately
US$0.37 million and US$0.12 million of value added tax refund for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. So long as the PRC
government’s preferential policies for software enterprises remain unchanged,
Beijing JianXin will continue to be eligible for this refund. As our software
sales are not considered a significant source for our revenue contribution on an
annual basis, this refund will not have any significant impact on our future
operations.
48
Income
before income tax
As a
result of the foregoing, our income before income tax increased to US$3.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from US$1.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009.
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, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow are generally
subject to Hong Kong profits tax on its 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, 2010 and 2009.
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 with its own software product 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.
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.
Net
income
As a
result of the foregoing, our net income increased to US$3.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 from US$1.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2009.
Preferred
stock deemed dividend
The
amount allocated to the escrow share arrangement is attributed to the different
newly issued securities in the Private Placement according to those newly issued
securities’ respective fair value at February 26, 2010, as follows:

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, which was recorded as a
deduction to the net income available to common stockholders.
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 outstanding within the reporting period. The
total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$0.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010.
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 the three months ended June 30, 2010, we had
cash and cash equivalents of US$49 million.
Our
liquidity needs include: (i) net cash used in operating activities, which
consists of: (a) cash required to import the equipment to be distributed to our
customers, and (b) related freight expenses needed to be borne by our
company; and (ii) our general working capital needs, which include payment for
staff salary and benefits, payment for office rent and other administrative
supplies, and net cash used in investing activities that consist of the
investments in computers and other office equipment. Before June 30, 2009, we
financed our liquidity needs primarily through working capital loans obtained
from our shareholders.

Net
cash provided by (used in) operating activities:
As a
result of our company’s normal business operations, a very significant portion
of our cash was used to import equipment from our suppliers. Before the
equipment was shipped to our customers, the prepayment was recorded as
prepayment to suppliers. After the equipment was shipped and before it was
accepted by our customers, the payments were recorded as deferred
cost. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we achieved
approximately US$3.4 million net income and approximately US$1.9 million cash
inflow from the decrease of accounts receivable from March 31, 2010. For the
uncompleted contracts we obtained we paid approximately US$8.9 million for
advance payments to our suppliers during the period. Therefore, we
had a net operational cash outflow of approximately US$3.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, because of
the relatively longer days of sales outstanding as discussed below, we only
generated about US$0.01 million net cash inflow from operating
activities.
On
average, our outstanding customer accounts are normally settled within 180 days.
Contracts signed in US dollars are typically settled in letters of credit, with
average outstanding periods of within 2-3 months. Contracts signed in Renminbi
are normally collected within 6 months. For the three months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, the days of sales outstanding was 13 days and 218 days, respectively.
The relatively longer days of sales outstanding for the three months ended June
30, 2009 was a result of approximately US$10 million of revenue that we
recognized in March 2009 was not settled until September 2009 with a credit
period less than 6 months.
Net
cash used in investing activities:
Our net cash used in investing
activities included the following transactions: (1) cash received for sales of
short-term investments trading securities; (2) cash used in purchasing office
equipment, computer software and other long-term assets; (3)
temporary advances to other entities. In June 2010, we temporarily loaned
approximately US$4.8 million to an unaffiliated party, which management believes
that no collectibility issue will exist.
Net
cash provided by (used in) financing activities:
Our net
cash provided by (used in) financing activities included the following
transactions: (1) the loans we borrowed from and repaid to our shareholders; and
(2) cash provided by (used in) resulted from an increase or decrease of our
restricted cash balance, which represents our bank deposits held as collateral
for our credit facilities.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2010, the restricted cash balance increased by
approximately US$1.5 million as the collateral for issuance of letter of credit
to our suppliers and we also repaid approximately US$0.3 million to our
shareholder, Mr. Zuo, which resulted in a net cash outflow of about US$1.8
million for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the restricted
cash balance increased by about US$0.9 million and we also borrowed about US$5
million loan from our Japanese shareholder during the period, which resulted in
a net cash inflow of about US$4.2 million for the period. As of June
30, 2010, we still owe our shareholders approximately US$8.1 million, which
consisted of approximately US$0.6 million due to Mr. Zuo and approximately
US$7.5 million due to our Japanese shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited. We did
not sign any written agreement with Mr. Zuo in regards to the loan we borrowed
from him. 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 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.
51
Credit
Facilities:
As of
June 30, 2010, 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$112.3 million (equivalent to
approximately US$14.4 million) as compared to an aggregate amount of general
facilities of HK$62.3 million (equivalent to approximately US$8 million) as of
March 31, 2010. Collaterals for the General Facilities include our bank deposits
classified as restricted cash, trading securities, unlimited guarantee from Mr.
Jianzhong Zuo (CEO and Chairman of our company), a standby letter of credit of
not less than HK$95 million (or approximately US$12.2 million) issued by a bank
which is in turn guaranteed by SJI Inc. (a stockholder of our company) and
undertaking from Hua Shen HK to maintain a tangible net worth at not less than
HK$5 million (or approximately US$644 thousand). We readily meet this
requirement and complied with this requirement during all periods presented.
There is a small risk of non-compliance, especially, considering that our bank’s
requirement for tangible net worth is far below our current tangible net
worth. As of June 30, 2010, there was outstanding import shipping
guarantees of $2,034,277 issued by the banks on behalf of our company under the
General Facilities. There was no other borrowing under the General Facilities as
of June 30, 2010. In addition, on August 6, 2009, we obtained a banking facility
for import facilities up to HK$6 million (equivalent to approximately US$774
thousand) under a Special Loan Guarantee Scheme sponsored and guaranteed by the
Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Government Sponsored
Facility”). Collaterals for the Government Sponsored Facility include a
guarantee for HK$6,000,000 from us. As of June 30, 2010, there was no borrowing
under the Government Sponsored Facility. Going forward, we do not expect any
negative changes in our general credit facilities, especially in light of the
fact that our sales have been growing rapidly.
Use
of proceeds from Private Placement:
We intend
to use the proceeds that we received in the Private Placement to build and
develop a new manufacturing facility in China and to upgrade our software
research and development department. Although we expect these costs to be
material, management is still in discussions and negotiations with relevant
parties and is currently unable to definitively quantify these expected
costs.
However,
based on our dialogue to date, we believe that the following table sets forth
the range of estimated costs to build and design our new manufacturing
facility:
Land
purchase (approximately 400,000 sq ft.) located in special China Economic
Development Zone:
|
$5
to 8 million
|
Factory
construction:
|
$5
to 8 million
|
Factory
Equipment:
|
$6
to 8 million
|
Total
estimated cost:
|
$16
to $24 million
|
52
We do not
intend to use such proceeds to repay any portion of the shareholder
loans.

ITEM 4. Controls And
Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the
effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls
and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures
can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.
In
connection with the preparation of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the
issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on
this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June
30, 2010.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as
otherwise discussed herein, there have been no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2010
