DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Nature of operations

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

Corporate organization

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

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

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

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

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

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

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

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

Anhui Jucheng was founded on January 28, 2005.  On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin acquired a 51% equity interest in Auhui Jucheng (See Note 2).

On December 31, 2010, China LianDi acquired a 100% equity interest in HS Digital Systems Limited together with its wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd from Mr. Zuo, CEO of the Company (See Note 2).

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

Reverse Acquisition

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

China LianDi also paid $275,000 to Remediation’s former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.

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

Revenue recognition

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

Multiple-deliverable arrangements

The Company derives revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for the Company to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
 
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;

 
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and

 
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.

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

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

Revenue recognition -Continued

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 only

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

Software sale

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

Service

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

The Company is subject to business tax of 5% and value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in the PRC, respectively. The Company presents its revenue net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts and returns. There were no product returns for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to expense when incurred.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, advertising and promotion costs were insignificant.

Shipping and handling costs are charged to expense when incurred.  Shipping and handling costs were included in selling expenses in the statements of income and comprehensive income and amounted to $678,806 and $279,471 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and $526,559 and $147,367 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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.

Foreign currency

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

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

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

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 a dividend if and when declared by its subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in U.S. dollars.

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

The Company uses the United States dollars (“U.S. Dollar”,  “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 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:
 
 
December 31, 2010
 
March 31, 2010
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
US$1=RMB 6.6227
 
US$1=RMB6.8263
   
 
Three months ended December 31,
 
2010
 
2009
Items in the statements of income and cash flows
US$1=RMB 6.6587

2010
 
2009
Items in the statements of income and cash flows
US$1=RMB 6.7514
 
US$1=RMB 6.8296
 
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.

Fair value measurements

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

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

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 follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”  This ASU amends Topic 310 to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Except for the expanded disclosure requirements, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements-Continued

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PREPAID LAND USE RIGHTS AND DEPOSIT FOR LAND USE RIGHTS

The Company has recorded as prepaid land use rights the lump sum payments paid to acquire long-term rights to utilize the land underlying its building and production facility.  This type of arrangement is common for the use of land in the PRC.  The prepaid land use rights are expensed on the straight-line basis over the term of the land use rights of 50 years.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company has obtained the relevant PRC property ownership and land use rights certificates.

The expense amortized on prepaid land use right for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $23,259 and Nil, respectively.  The estimated amortization expense of the prepaid land use rights over each of the next five years and thereafter will be $47,423 per annum.

As of December 31, 2010, the deposit for land use rights of $1,056,971 represented the payment made by Anhui Jucheng to a local authority to acquire 50-year right to use a parcel of land which will be used for expansion of its manufacturing facilities. As of December 31, 2010, no land use right transfer agreement has been signed and the relevant formalities were not completed, and therefore Anhui Jucheng had not yet obtained the legal title to the land use rights.

In December 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, purchased a software copyright on data processing platform software for application in petrochemical production pursuant to an agreement dated October 1, 2008 from a company unaffiliated to the Company at the time of the agreement. The agreement provides that the purchase price shall be based on the valuation of RMB40,800,000 (or $5,941,459). The agreement stipulates that the seller shall provide assistance for the registration of the software copyright in the name of Beijing JianXin. The agreement also provides that the seller shall dismiss all human resources for the business activities related to the software from the date Beijing JianXin is granted the software copyright and at the same time, provide assistance for Beijing JianXin to re-employ the necessary staff from the seller to ensure a smooth transitioning of the activities related to the software. The agreement provides for Beijing JianXin to pay the purchase price within 1 year from the date it obtains the software copyright, but no later than March 31, 2010. The purchase price for the software copyright was fully paid before March 31, 2010.

This software copyright has been registered with the National Copyright Administration of the People’s Republic of China in the name of Beijing JianXin and is protected under the relevant copyright law of the PRC for 50 years from November 11, 2008, the date of first publication of the software. This software copyright is amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years using the straight-line method. Amortization expenses were $464,630 and $448,050 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and $157,607 and $172,626 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Goodwill of $353,823 arose from the Company’s acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010. Impairment of goodwill is tested at least annually at the reporting unit. The test consists of two steps. First, we identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Topic 805,”Business Combinations.”

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

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS-CONTINUED

(b)   Preferred Stock (continued)

At December 31, 2010, 5,885,970 preferred shares were outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $ 21,081,411

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

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

The Series A Preferred Stock holder may request for redemption of the preferred stock in the event that the Company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement. However, according to the registration rights agreement between the Company and the investors (who are also the preferred stock holders), the Company is contractually permitted to prepare, file and cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 calendar days after the closing date of the private placement on February 26, 2010. The registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of December 31, 2010. Therefore, the Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. .  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, the Company has not adjusted the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value or recognized any accretion charges as it is considered not probable that the Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable, in accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Guidance on redeemable preferred stock in ASC 480-10-S99.

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

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

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS-CONTINUED

(b)    Preferred Stock (continued)

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:

    1,911,156       544,805  
Total
  $ 17,279,554     $ 4,925,810  
 
The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $3,011,412 and $1,059,568 respectively.

(c)    Warrants

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

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

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

STATUTORY RESERVES

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

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


NOTE 21
OTHER INCOME – VALUE ADDED TAX REFUND

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

INCOME TAXES

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

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on 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 regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective from January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.

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

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

Deferred tax liabilities arose on the revaluation of Anhui Jucheng’s properties, plant and equipment and land use right upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010.  Reversal during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was due to the depreciation and amortization of these revalued properties, plant and equipment and the land use right.

As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company did not have any other significant temporary differences and carryforwards that may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

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

·
During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, two customers individually accounted for 35% and 12% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, two customers individually accounted for 54% and 17% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  Except for the afore-mentioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this interim report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We conducted minimal operations during periods up through the date of the Share Exchange. However, we have included elsewhere in this report the historical consolidated financial statements of China LianDi, our recently acquired subsidiary. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial data included in this interim report reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” or similar language. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Company Structure and Reorganization
 
Our company was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, we changed our name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which is further described below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change-in-control of our company.
 
On February 26, 2010, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of our company.  Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of our common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to us all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of our shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to our former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
 
As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and us to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results of us being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of our company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.

On March 17, 2010, we caused a corporation to be formed under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of us.
 
Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into our company. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of our company. 
 
Our company 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. We are also engaged in manufacturing and selling of industrial chemical products which is operated through our newly acquired subsidiary Anhui Jucheng.

In July 2004, China LianDi was founded and owned as to 60% by Mr. Jianzhong Zuo, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our company, and 40% by another third-party minority shareholder. On October 2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired from such minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for US$1, and accordingly became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008, SJ Asia Pacific Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJI Inc., a company incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo in exchange for: (i) US$1.00; (ii) the commitment to invest HK$60,000,000 (or approximately $7.7 million) in China LianDi; and (iii) the provision of financial support for China LianDi by way of an unlimited shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a result, at such times China LianDi was owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49% by Mr. Zuo.
 
On January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,” a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and of which Mr. Zuo is a director and holds voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd. (“Rapid Capital”), respectively. On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% of their respective interests in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively. On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%) and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%). As a result, immediately before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.
 
Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of 5% interests in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from our principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services to facilitate the private placement.
 
Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.
 
In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC.
 
Private Placement
 
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342 shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. We also issued to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26, 2013. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million from the private placement.

Acquisitions
 
Acquisition of Anhui Jucheng
 
Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”) was founded on January 28, 2005 and was wholly owned by a third party individual. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin, our wholly-owned subsidiary, injected capital of RMB 40.8 million (approximately US$6,023,652) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash and as a result, we indirectly became an owner of a 51% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng.
 
Anhui Jucheng is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products and high polymer fine chemical products, and providing chemical professional services.  We believe the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng will enable us to improve our product structure and diversify our channels of business opportunities in the future.

Basis of preparation and consolidation and use of estimates
 
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended March 31, 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
 
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”  This ASU amends Topic 310 to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Except for the expanded disclosure requirements, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the control of management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses significant accounting policies and estimates.

 
49

 
 
 
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 it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by us in accordance with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, we have not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.
 
We may also provide our customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for 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.
 
 
50

 
 
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 nine months ended December 31, 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.
 
 
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 nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
In March 2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT Law”), and promulgated related regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.
 
Beijing JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise 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.
 
 
51

 
 
Anhui Jucheng, established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. The applicable income tax rate of Anhui Jucheng is 25% for the year ending December 31, 2010.
 
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 have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow is the U.S. dollar.
 
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng is Renminbi.
 
 
52

 
 
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 subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into 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:
 
 
As of December 31, 2010
 
As of March 31, 2010
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
US$1=RMB6.6227
 
US$1=RMB6.8263

For the nine months ended
December 31, 2009
Items in statements of income and cash flows

US$1=RMB6.8296
 
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the above rates.
 
The value of RMB against US$ 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 our financial condition in terms of US$ reporting.

Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Warrants
 
 
(a)
Common Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. We had 1,216,950 common shares outstanding prior to the Share Exchange with China LianDi, and issued 27,354,480 common shares to the shareholders of China LianDi in connection with the Share Exchange.  For accounting purposes, the shares issued to the shareholders of China LianDi are assumed to have been outstanding on April 1, 2008 and the 1,216,950 shares held by our existing shareholders prior to the Share Exchange on February 26, 2010 are assumed to have been issued on that date in exchange for our net assets.
 
On February 26, 2010, we sold 787,342 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, 1,200,108 shares of preferred stock in the aggregate were converted into the same number of shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.
 
At December 31, 2010, 30,558,880 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
 
 
(b)
Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of which one series of preferred stock has been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, or preferred shares, of which we issued 7,086,078 shares to certain accredited investors in a private placement on February 26, 2010. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock, at a conversion price of $3.50 per share (subject to certain adjustments) at any time at the holder’s option, and will automatically convert at the earlier to occur of the following: (i) twenty-four (24) months following February 26, 2010, and (ii) such time that the volume weighted average price of the common stock is no less than $5.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days with the daily volume of the common stock equal to at least 50,000 shares per day. The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the preferred shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 4, 2010. The preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly, at our option, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock has class voting rights such that we, prior to taking certain corporate actions (including certain issuances or redemptions of its securities or changes in its organizational documents), are required to obtain the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights with our common stock or other equity securities. The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $3.50 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If we cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement for any reasons, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, solely at the holder’s option, can require us to redeem from such holder those Series A Preferred Stock for which we are unable to issue registered shares of common stock at a price equal to the Series A liquidation preference amount, provided that we shall have the sole option to pay such redemption price in cash or restricted shares of common stock.
 
At December 31, 2010, 5,885,970 preferred shares were outstanding, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $21,081,411.
 
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.
 
 
54

 
 
Because the event that may trigger redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the delivery of registered shares, is not solely within our control, the Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock holder may request redemption of the preferred stock in the event that our company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement The related registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of December 31, 2010. Therefore, we have determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as of December 31, 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 (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 compensatory.
 
Accordingly, we have accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and reflected it as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly issued securities in the private placement, based on its fair value of $4,925,810 as of February 26, 2010.
 
The aggregate fair value of the escrow shares as of February 26, 2010 is allocated to the different securities issued in the private placement according to their respective allocated net proceeds as follows:
 
   
Net proceeds of
private placement
allocated to
   
Allocation of
escrow shares
 
Discount on common stock
  $ 1,309,380     $ 373,260  
Dividend on preferred stock
    14,059,018       4,007,745  
Discount on warrants
    1,911,156       544,805  
Total
  $ 17,279,554     $ 4,925,810  
 
The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $3,011,412 and $1,059,568, respectively.

 
55

 
 
 
(c)
Warrants
 
On February 26, 2010, we issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75, for cash.  These warrants are exercisable at any time until February 26, 2013.
 
Also on February 26, 2010, we had issued (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which were issued to the placement agent in connection with the private placement and expire in three years on February 26, 2013.
 
Warrants issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010 (Unaudited) and changes during the nine months then ended, are as follows:

We have evaluated the terms of the warrants issued in the private placement with reference to the guidance provided in ASC 815-40-15. We have concluded that these warrants are indexed to our own stock, because the warrants have no contingent exercise provision and fixed strike prices which are only subject to adjustments in the event of stock split, combinations, dividends, mergers or other customary corporate events.  Therefore, these warrants have been classified as equity.
 
(a)
Options granted to independent directors
 
On August 10, 2010, we granted options to purchase 24,000, 5,000 and 5,000 shares of common stock to three of our independent directors, Mr. Joel Paritz, Mr. Hongjie Chen and Mr. Xiaojun Li, respectively, at a strike price of $5.99 per share, in consideration for the services they provided. These options will expire August 10, 2015 and shall become vested and exercisable pursuant to the following vesting schedule:

These options will expire August 10, 2015.

The compensation costs associated with these options are recognized, based on the grant-date fair values of these options, over the requisite service period, or vesting period. We valued these options utilizing the Block-Scholes options pricing model and recorded $37,250 and $25,199 as stock-based professional fees during the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

 
(b)
Options granted for consultancy services
 
On December 6, 2010, the Company granted options to a consultancy service company, to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a strike price of $3.50 per share, in consideration for its consultancy services to the Company for five months.  There options shall become vested and exercisable pursuant to the following vesting schedule:

These options will expire December 6, 2014.
 
We record and report stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which services are received. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees is determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.  We valued these options utilizing the Block-Scholes options pricing model and recorded $141,690 as stock-based professional fees during the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010.

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 nine and three months ended December 31, 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 a deemed dividend, and 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 deem it important to provide all of this information to investors.
 
The following table presented reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 (Unaudited): (All amounts in US dollars)

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 and sales of chemical products. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2010, our total net revenue increased to US$100.55 million from US$45.60 million for the same period of 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our total revenue increased to US$48.08 million from US$16.81 million for the same period of 2009.  Without regard to the US$15.33 million and US$6.84 million revenue generated by our newly acquired majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 respectively, which will be discussed separately below, our total revenue increased to US$85.22 million and US$41.24 million for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.  This increase was mainly due to the increase of the distribution and service contracts we signed with our customers and the successful and timely implementation of our contracts. These achievements were mainly a result of our successful establishment of an experienced sales and implementation team.
 
For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, we achieved approximately US$72.82 million and US$32.79 million of equipment sales and installation revenue respectively, as compared to US$39.15 million and US$14.12 million for the same period of 2009.  We completed 57 and 30 projects related to sales and installation of equipment for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 respectively, as compared to 31 and 11 projects for the same period of 2009. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, one of these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$8 million, five had a contract value greater than US$3 million, eleven had a contract value greater than US$2 million and eight had contract values of more than US$1 million.  For the same period of 2009, one of these completed projects had a contract value of more than US$13 million, two had a contract value greater than US$4 million and four had a contract value greater than US$1 million.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we achieved approximately US$11.2 million and US$6.4 million of software revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we sold 32 sets and 73 sets of our data processing software and achieved US$2.8 million and US$6.4 million of data processing software revenue, respectively. In addition, for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we also achieved approximately US$8.4 million (value added tax excluded) of software revenue in relation to the US$13 million (US$12 million, excluding the related value added tax) of software sales and technical implementation contracts we signed with China Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Institute (CPPEI), a direct subsidiary of Petro China Company Limited (“PetroChina”).  This software package sold to PetroChina was a special ordered software we purchased and customized for PetroChina and was mainly used for the production planning and products distribution management system, which covered approximately 200 end users of the logistics dispatch command centers of PetroChina in Beijing and six other provinces across China.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we sold nil and 30 sets of our data processing software, respectively, and achieved US$ nil and US$2.7 million of software revenue, respectively. The approximately US$8.4 million of software revenue we achieved for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was the software revenue generated from the PetroChina contract as discussed above.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we also achieved approximately US$1.2 million of technical services revenue of which approximately US$1.1 million of technical implementation service revenue was related to the software pre-installation test services included in the PetroChina software contracts as discussed above.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had 28 and 26 signed but uncompleted contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$47 million and US$36 million, respectively. These achievements were mainly a result of our successful establishment of an experienced sales and implementation team. 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 from our customers 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 costs of revenue. As of December 31, 2010, the balances of deferred revenue and deferred costs were insignificant. 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.
 
Our newly acquired majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling the industrial chemical product, Polyacrylamide.  Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in the following areas: (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal and sewage treatments; (3) auxiliary for papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant for river water treatments.  We acquired Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010, Therefore, Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were  consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
 
For the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 7,730 tons of Polyacrylamide products, and achieved approximately US$15.33 million of net revenue.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 3,530 tons of Polyacrylaminde products, and achieved approximately US$6.84 million of net revenue.
 
Cost of sales:
 
Cost of sales consists of the equipment and software purchase cost recognized in-line with the related contract revenue, and the amortization amount of our software copyright.
 
Cost of sales of Anhui Jucheng represented the manufacturing cost of the chemical product, Polyacrylamide, sold in each reporting period, which mainly consist of raw material cost (mainly consist of acrylonitrile, acrylic acid and acrylamide solution), salary cost of manufacturing department and other manufacturing overhead such as electricity, water, depreciation and other manufacturing supplies.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our total cost of sales increased to US$78.78 million from US$31.99 million for the same period of 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our total cost of sales increased to US$39.35 million from US$11.36 million for the same period of 2009.  Without regard to the cost of sales of US$14.16 million and US$6.36 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, our total cost of sales increased to US$64.62 million and US$32.99 million, respectively.

Without regard to the gross profit generated by our newly acquired majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, discussed separately below, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, our gross profit increased to US$20.60 million and US$8.25 million as compared to US$13.61 million and US$5.45 million for the same period of 2009.  The level of our overall gross margin was mainly affected by the relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical services volume for each reporting period and the overall average gross margin of our equipment sales and installation projects completed for each of the reporting period.  For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, the cost of our software sales consisted of the purchase cost of the software for PetroChina, and the amortization of our 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. We normally do not incur any additional special costs when performing separate technical services and we did not consider the allocation of a proportion of our expenses as the cost of technical services as necessary, because it was considered insignificant based on our experience.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our overall gross margins were 24% and 30%, respectively.  The gross margin for our equipment sales and installation contracts was 19.4% for both the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which was considered normal and stable based on our historical experiences.  The relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical services volume over the total net revenue we achieved (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng) were 14.5% and 14.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Therefore, the decrease of the overall gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 was mainly because of the decrease of the software and technical services gross margin.  We achieved approximately US$2.8 million and US$6.4 million data processing software revenue, representing approximately 3% and 14% of our total net revenue (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng) for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with the corresponding amortization of the data processing software copyright we purchased recognized in cost of sales. The gross margin for the data processing software is dependent on the sales volume we achieve for each of the reporting periods.  Therefore, the decrease of the sales volume of the data processing software for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 caused this software sales gross margin to decrease to 84% as compared to 93% for the same period of 2009.  For the software sales and technical implementation services contract we signed with PetroChina, the overall gross margin of these contracts is around 50%-55%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we have completed the pre-installation test services contract and the delivery and the installation of the software platforms contract. Accordingly, we achieved approximately US$1.1 million technical services revenue and US$8.4 million software sales and installation revenue, totally representing approximately 11% of our total net revenue achieved for the period (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng). As of December 31, 2010, gross margin achieved from these contracts was approximately 43%, which is lower than our overall data processing software gross margin. We expect to complete the final contract with PetroChina, which is related to the software post-sale technical services and would contribute approximately US$2.4 million technical service revenue and 100% gross margin in the first half of the calendar year 2011.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our overall gross margins were 20% and 32%, respectively.  The reasons for the decrease of the overall gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 were similar to those as discussed above for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
63

 
 
We believe that our overall gross margin is typically between 20%-30% on a fiscal year basis. As discussed above, on a quarterly basis, our overall gross margin was not stable and comparable to each other, which was mainly because of the different percentage of the software and technical services revenue and the equipment sales and installation revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period), which contribute a very different gross margin as compared with each other.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, approximately 45% of the total equipment sales and installation projects were completed and recognized in the last quarter of that fiscal year (i.e. three months ended March 31, 2010).  Therefore, although for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the overall gross margin was approximately 30%, which was much higher than that of the same period of 2010 of 24%, the overall gross profit for the fiscal year 2010 decreased to 24%. This was due to the recognition of a significant portion of the equipment sales and installation revenue in the last quarter of our fiscal 2010 and the decrease of the relative percentage of the software and technical services revenue over the total net revenue for the complete fiscal year 2010.  As of December 31, 2010, we do not have any material uncompleted equipment sales and installation contract signed with gross margin significantly below our average gross margin, which was 18%-20%. Therefore, we believe that these existing uncompleted contracts will not have an adverse impact on our future gross margin. We will continue to monitor and review our sales contracts to determine if there will be any adverse impact on our gross margin in future reporting periods.

Anhui Jucheng achieved a 7.6% gross margin for the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng achieved a 7% gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Management believes that the overall gross margin of Anhui Jucheng should normally approximate 10%-15%.  The relatively lower gross margin for the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was mainly because during these periods, the overall market supply of the raw material for producing polyacrylamide was relatively insufficient, which caused an increase in the raw material purchase price.  We will gradually increase our product selling price and we believe that the overall gross margin will improve in the future.  Meanwhile, management is making efforts to sell our products to end users directly in the future, instead of selling through distributors. If this can be achieved, we believe our gross margin of this segment will further improve to approximately 20%.

Selling expenses:
 
Our selling expenses increased to US$1.42 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 from US$0.82 million for the same period of 2009.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our selling expenses increased to US$1.16 million from US$0.28 million for the same period of 2009.  Our selling expenses mainly include freight, marketing research and development expenses, salary expenses and traveling expenses.
 
 
65

 
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the increase in selling expenses was mainly due to the following reasons: (1) salary expense and staff welfare increased by approximately US$0.03 million, which was mainly due to the expansion of our business and increase of the staff numbers in our sales department; (2) travelling expenses increased by approximately US$0.05 million which was in line with the expansion of our business; (3) freight expenses increased by approximately US$0.17 million; On an annual basis, the percentage of our freight expense over the total net equipment sales and installation revenue we achieved decreased in fiscal year 2011 as compared to that of our fiscal year 2010, which was due to the fact that we had more contracts using FOB terms in fiscal year 2011, where we only bore the land freight from the overseas manufacturing facilities to the oversea ports; however, in our fiscal year 2010, we had some contracts using CIF terms where we bore air freight for these shipments, which is significantly higher than the land freight.  However, since freight expenses is considered insignificant to our total net equipment sales and installation revenue (normally approximately 0.5%-0.8% to the total net equipment sales and installation revenue on both quarterly and annual basis), freight expenses were recorded when incurred, and for our fiscal year 2010, a significant portion of our freight expense was incurred and recorded in the last quarter of that year, (i.e. three months ended March 31, 2010), while in fiscal year 2011, most of our freight expenses was incurred and recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Therefore, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, freight expenses were higher than that of the same period of 2009, while on an annual basis, our freight expenses would not increase significantly as compared to our last fiscal year.  Freight expenses incurred for each quarter reflected the shipments we made during the period, while the revenue related to these shipments was normally recognized in later periods depending on when the installation and technical support were completed and the related equipment was accepted by our customers.  Therefore, the freight expenses incurred for each period might not be comparable on a quarterly basis; and (4) marketing research and development expenses increased by approximately US$0.35 million as compared to the same period of 2009. On an annual basis, the percentage of our marketing research and development expenses over total net revenue we achieved decreased in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010, 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 and development costs in this year. However, for our fiscal year 2010, a significant portion of our marketing research and development activities occurred in the last quarter of that fiscal year, (three months ended March 31, 2010), while for fiscal year 2011, these expenses was incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Therefore, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, marketing research and development expenses were higher than that of the same period of 2009, while on an annual basis, our marketing research and development expenses would not increase significantly as compared to that of our last fiscal year.  The reasons for the increase of the selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were the same as those discussed for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
 
We believe that the percentage of our total selling expenses compared to 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. In accordance with the 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 related to the marketing activities and number of contracts we participated in during each reporting period, but not to the corresponding contract revenue being recognized.
 
General and administrative expenses:
 
Our general and administrative expenses increased to US$1.95 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 from US$0.86 million for the same period of 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our general and administrative expenses increased to US$0.44 million from US$0.29 million for the same period of 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 (including but not limited to legal, audits, financial consultancy and investor relations). We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as we hire additional personnel and incur additional costs in connection with the expansion of our business. We also expect to incur increased professional services costs in the future in connection with disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws, and our efforts to continue to improve our internal control systems in-line with the expansion of our business.
 
 
66

 
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our general and administrative expenses increased due to the following reasons: (1) an approximate US$0.08 million increase of rental expenses due to renting an additional office and four apartments for the expansion of our business and increase of staff; (2) an approximate US$0.07 million increase of salary expenses due to the increase of staff in connection with the expansion of our business; (3) an approximate US$0.13 million increase in general office administration expenses, such as communication, utilities and depreciation, which was in-line with the expansion of our business support activities; (4) an approximate US$0.18 million increase in share-based compensation expenses; and (5) an approximate US$0.64 million increase in professional services charges related to our U.S. reporting requirements as a public company, including but not limited to legal, accounting and investor relations.
 
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$0.19 and US$0.07 million for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared with US$0.04 and US$0.02 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.
 
 
2.
Sale of chemical products
 
Selling expenses:
 
For the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng incurred approximately US$0.62 million of selling expenses, which mainly consist of (1) freight expense of approximately US$0.23 million; (2) salary expense of the sales department of approximately US$0.18 million; (3) products packing material costs of approximately US$0.10 million; (4) other general expenses incurred by the sales department, such as traveling expenses, communication expenses and other similar expenses of approximately US$0.11 million.
 
General and administrative expenses:
 
For the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng incurred approximately US$0.55 million of general and administrative expenses, which mainly consist of (1) salary and welfare of management and administrative staff of approximately US$0.20 million; (2) traveling expenses of approximately US$0.08 million; (3) insurance and other taxes of approximately US$0.07 million; and (4) office administration expenses, such as communication, utilities, depreciation and other office supplies, of approximately US$0.20 million.
 
Operating profits
 
As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit increased to US$17.04 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, which was mainly generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, as compared to the US$11.90 million operating profit we achieved for the same period of 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our operating profit increased to US$6.5 million, of which US$6.59 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and we incurred approximately US$0.09 million operational loss for the sales of chemical products, as compared to the US$4.85 million of operating profit we achieved for the same period of 2009.
 
 
67

 
 
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 we kept in the commercial banks.
 
 
·
Interest expenses represented the interest expenses incurred for the working capital loans we borrowed from our shareholders (annual interest rate of 3% to 5%), and the short-term bank loans of approximately US$1.96 million as of December 31, 2010, which were borrowed by our newly acquired subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred approximately US$0.2 million in interest expenses for the shareholder loans we borrowed, and approximately US$0.07 million in interest expenses for the short-term bank loans borrowed by Anhui Jucheng.  We also incurred approximately US$0.1 million in bank handling charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 for the international contract settlements with our overseas equipment suppliers. The decrease of the interest expenses and bank charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009, was mainly a result of the decrease of the principal amount we borrowed from our shareholders in these periods.
 
 
·
Exchange loss occurred for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was mainly due to the devaluation of the US dollar against the Renminbi, Japanese Yen and Euro.  Exchange losses arose from our bank deposits and shareholder loans denominated in currencies other than Renminbi.
 
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 2-3 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$1.93 million and US$0.22 million of value added tax refund for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Other:
 
For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng received approximately US$0.46 million and US$0.19 million subsidy income and awards, respectively, from its provincial and regional governments for its technologies contribution and development in the polyacrylamide production field.  For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng, also achieved approximate US$0.07 and US$ 0.05 other income from selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies, respectively.

Income before income tax
 
As a result of the foregoing, our income before income tax increased to US$18.59 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, US$18.12 million of which was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.47 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$11.30 million income before income tax we achieved for the same period of 2009.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our income before income tax increased to US$7.71 million, of which US$7.58 million was from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.13 million was from our sale of chemical products, as compared to the US$4.65 million income before income tax we achieved for the same period of 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 nine and three months ended December 31, 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.
 
Anhui Jucheng is subject to 25% income tax for the year ending December 31, 2010.
 
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$18.48 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, US$18.12 million of which was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.36 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$11.30 million net income we achieved for the same period of 2009.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our net income increased to US$7.68 million, US$7.58 million of which was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.10 million was generated from our new sales of chemical products, as compared to the US$4.65 million net income we achieved for the same period of 2009.

Income attributable to non-controlling interest
 
Net income generated from our newly acquired majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, was allocated to the non-controlling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng based on his respective percentage of the ownership in the entity. Based on the percentage ownership of Anhui Jucheng, US$0.17 million and US$0.05 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net income was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling interest shareholders of Anhui Jucheng for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010.
 
Net income available to LianDi Clean shareholders
 
Net income available to LianDi Clean shareholders was US$18.31 million and US$7.63 million for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to US$11.30 million and US$4.65 million for the same period of 2009, respectively.
 
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:
 
   
Allocation of
escrow shares
 
Discount on common stock
  $ 373,260  
Dividend on preferred stock
    4,007,745  
Discount on warrants
    544,805  
Total
  $ 4,925,810  
 
The amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method.  Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010 was approximately US$3.01 million and US$1.06 million, respectively, which were recorded as a deduction to the net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Preferred stock dividend
 
In accordance with the securities purchase agreement we entered into with our investors on February 26, 2010, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%. The amount of the preferred stock dividend we accrued was calculated by the liquidation preference amount of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was US$3.50 per share, and the actual number of days each share was outstanding within the reporting period. The total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$1.43 million and US$0.45 million for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

B.  Liquidity and capital resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$40.98 million.
 
Our liquidity needs include: net cash used in operating activities, which mainly consists of: (a) cash required for importing the equipment to be distributed to our customers and cash required for our newly acquired subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, to purchase raw materials for the manufacturing of chemical products; (b) related freight and other distribution expenses for our shipments of equipment to customers and manufacturing expenses for the production of chemical products; and (c) our general working capital needs, which include payment for staff salary and benefits, payment for office rent and other administrative supplies. Our net cash used in investing activities mainly consists of the investments in computers and other office equipment and upgrading and enhancing the existing manufacturing facilities for our newly acquired subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng. Before June 30, 2009, we financed our liquidity needs primarily through working capital loans obtained from our shareholders. From the second half of our fiscal year 2010, along with the significant increase of our net income and our efficient management of the collection of the trade receivables and other receivables, we started to generate positive cash flow from our operating activities, and repaid a significant portion of the shareholder loan from our Japanese shareholder. Currently, we primarily finance our liquidity needs through net cash generated from our own operating activities.
 
The following tables provide detailed information about our net cash flow for the periods indicated:

    1,041       27  
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents
    (18,256 )     13,135  
 
Net cash (used in) provided by 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 nine months ended December 31, 2010, we achieved approximately US$19.8 million in net income (excluding the noncash expenses of depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expenses), In the meanwhile, our accounts receivable and bills receivable balance increased by approximately US$24.5 million, of which approximately US$12.4 million has been subsequently collected after the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  During the same period, we spent approximately US$8.4 million as the prepayments to our equipment suppliers for the uncompleted contracts we performed during the period, and to our raw material suppliers for purchasing raw materials of chemical products, and increased of our inventory storage of approximate US$1.2 million. We also spent approximately US$2.5 million to settle our accounts payable and other payables and approximate US$1.1 million for tender deposits and other prepayments.  Therefore, in the aggregate, these transactions resulted in an approximately US$18.0 million cash outflow during the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the approximate US$7.8 million in net cash inflow from operating activities was mainly generated as a result of the approximately US$11.3 million of net income generated for that period.
 
 
71

 
 
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities:
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our net cash used in investing activities included four noteworthy transactions. First, we had an approximately US$2.39 million net cash inflow primarily in connection with the Anhui Jucheng acquisition, representing Anhui Jucheng’s cash and cash equivalents on acquisition by us. We injected capital of RMB40.8 million (approximately US$6 million) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash in exchange for its 51% equity interest.  Anhui Jucheng then became our subsidiary and therefore the capital contribution has no impact on our consolidated cash flows. Second, during the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our newly acquired subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, spent approximately US$0.14 million cash to purchase the equipment for the upgrading of its current manufacturing facilities and incurred approximately US$0.97 million as a deposit for land use rights to further upgrade its manufacturing facilities. Third, during the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we repaid approximately US$4.89 million in third party loans.  Fourth, we also collected approximately US$3.3 million of a temporary loan we made to a third party.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow of investing activities for about US$0.32 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the approximate US$14.4 million cash inflow generated from investing activities mainly represented the temporary loan to a third party in February 2009 and collected in September 2009.
 
Net cash used in financing activities:
 
Our net cash used in financing activities included the following transactions: (1) the loans we borrowed from or repaid to our shareholders and noncontrolling shareholder of our newly acquired subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng; (2) cash used in the payment of the cash dividends to the convertible preferred stockholders; and (3) cash provided by or used for the decrease or increase of our restricted cash balance, which represents our bank deposits held as collateral for our credit facilities.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, (1) we paid approximately US$1.13 million cash for the dividends on our convertible preferred stock; (2) as of December 31, 2010, the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$1.46 million as collateral for issuance of letters of credit to our suppliers as compared to that of March 31, 2010, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities; (3) Mr. Zuo temporarily deposited approximately US$3.07 million into our bank account, which temporarily increased the amount due to him, which will be settled shortly; (4) we also repaid approximately US$0.83 million to the noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng; and (5) Anhui Jucheng also repaid approximately US$0.59 million of a short-term bank loan.  In the aggregate, this resulted in a net cash outflow of financing activities of approximately US$0.94 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$0.65 million as compared to that of March 31, 2009, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities, and we also repaid approximately US$8.52 million loan to shareholders during the period, which resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately US$9.17 million for the period.
 
As of December 30, 2010, we still owe our shareholders approximately US$12 million, which consisted of approximately US$4.4 million due to Mr. Zuo and approximately US$7.6 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 2011, our financial position has improved to the point which allows us to repay our shareholders’ loan using money earned from operations on demand without having any significant adverse impact on our financial position and operations.

Credit Facilities:

As of December 31, 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. Collateral for the General Facilities include our bank deposits classified as restricted cash, trading securities, unlimited guarantee from Mr. Zuo (our CEO and Chairman), 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 December 31, 2010, there were outstanding import shipping guarantees of $2,500,528 issued by the banks on behalf of our company under the General Facilities. There was no other borrowing under the General Facilities as of December 31, 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”). Collateral for the Government Sponsored Facility include a guarantee for HK$6,000,000 from us. As of December 31, 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 use rights  (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
 

We do not intend to use such proceeds to repay any portion of the shareholder loans.

Recent event:

In September 2010, we entered into a strategic alliance with System Kikou Co., Ltd, located in Tokyo, Japan, one of the worlds leading automated oil sludge treatment companies. The alliance was consummated to capitalize on a recent Chinese government mandate which was promulgated after a major fatal accident (unrelated to the Company) in June 2010 that killed six workers in China. The mandate is that all Chinas oil refiners switch to automated cleaning technology to protect the safety of workers; System Kikou is one of the world’s leaders in this cleaning technology.
