Share Exchange Agreement with China LianDi and Private Placement
 
Share Exchange Agreement
 
On February 26, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJI Inc., a Jasdaq listed company organized under the law of Japan, China Liandi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Hua Shen Trading (International) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Rapid Capital Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Dragon Excel Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Maryland (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) Reed Buley, our former principal stockholder. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to us all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for 27,354,480 shares of our common stock (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, we are now a holding company, which through our operating companies in the PRC, provides downstream flow equipment and engineering services, optimization software packages, clean and advanced industrial technology based equipment and services and industrial chemical products to the leading petroleum and petrochemical companies in the PRC.
 
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 private placement described below, we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. China LianDi also deposited $275,000 into an escrow account which amount was paid to Reed Buley, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
 
Private Placement
 
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement of 787,342 units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $35 per Unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), (b) 787,342 shares of common stock (the “Issued Shares”), (c) three-year Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share (the “Series A Warrant Shares”), and (d) three-year Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “Series B Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million (the “Private Placement”). The issuance of the Units was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
 
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Issued Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares within 30 calendar days of the Closing Date, and to have such registration statement declared effective within 180 calendar days of the Closing Date. We agreed to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of the date when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or the date on which such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule144. If we do not comply with the foregoing obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay cash liquidated damages to each investor, at the rate of 2% of the applicable subscription amount for each 30 day period in which we are not in compliance; provided, that such liquidated damages will be capped at 10% of the subscription amount of each investor and will not apply to any shares that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or are subject to an SEC comment with respect to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.  The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 20, 2010 and remains effective as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the Investors (the “Securities Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (the “Principal Stockholder”), an affiliate of Jianzhong Zuo, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares of common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 net income performance threshold of $20.5 million. With respect to the 2011 performance year, if we achieve less than 95% of the 2011 performance threshold, then the Escrow Shares for such year will be delivered to the Investors in the amount of 86,115.55 shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share and pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such Investor at such date) for each full percentage point by which such threshold was not achieved up to a maximum of 1,722,311 shares. Any Escrow Shares not delivered to any Investor because such Investor no longer holds shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares, or because the 2011 performance threshold was met, shall be returned to the Principal Stockholder.
 
For the purposes of the Securities Escrow Agreement, net income is defined in accordance with US GAAP and reported by us in our audited financial statements for fiscal year ended 2011; provided, however, that net income for fiscal year ended 2011 shall be increased by any non-cash charges incurred (i) as a result of the Private Placement, including without limitation, as a result of the issuance and/or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the issuance and/or exercise of the Warrants, (ii) as a result of the release of the Escrow Shares to the Principal Stockholder and/or the Investors, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Escrow Agreement, (iii) as a result of the issuance of ordinary shares of the Principal Stockholder to its PRC shareholders, upon the exercise of options granted to such PRC shareholders by the Principal Stockholder, as of the date of the Securities Escrow Agreement, (iv) as a result of the issuance of Warrants to any placement agent and its designees in connection with the Private Placement, (v) the exercise of any Warrants to purchase common stock outstanding and (vi) the issuance under any performance based equity incentive plan that we adopt. Net income will also be increased to adjust for any cash or non-cash charges resulting from the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Private Placement.
 
On the Closing Date, we and China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd., an affiliate of Jianzhong Zuo, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, entered into a lock-up agreement whereby such entity is prohibited from selling our securities until six (6) months after the effective date of the registration statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement. For one (1) year thereafter, it will be permitted to sell up to one-twelfth (1/12) of its initial holdings every month.
 
Our net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for the purposes of the Securities Escrow Agreement was $24.1 million and exceeded the 2011 Performance Threshold.  Therefore, the escrow shares will be released to the Principal Stockholder.
 
Industry and Market Overview
 
China Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries
 
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration Report dated November 2010, we have obtained the following industry and market overview.
 
China consumed an estimated 8.3 million barrels per day (“bbl/d”) of oil in 2009, up nearly 500 million bbl/d from 2008 levels, making it the second-largest oil consumer in the world behind the United States. During that same year, China produced an estimated 4.0 million bbl/d of total oil liquids, of which 95 percent was crude oil. China’s net oil imports were approximately 4.3 million bbl/d in 2009, again making it the second-largest net oil importer in the world behind the United States and for the first time surpassing Japan’s imports. Energy Information Administration forecasts that China’s oil consumption will continue to grow during 2011, with oil demand reaching 9.6 million bbl/d in 2011. This anticipated growth of over 1.2 million bbl/d between 2009 and 2011 represents about 37 percent of the projected world oil demand growth during the 2-year period according to the September 2010 Short-Term Energy Outlook.   By contrast, China’s oil production is forecasted to rise by about 150 thousand bbl/d to nearly 4.2 million bbl/d in 2011. In the longer term, EIA’s International Energy Outlook projects Chinese demand of liquids fuels to rise to around 17 million bbl/d by 2035. According to Oil & Gas Journal (OGJ), China had 20.4 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of January 2010, up over 4 billion barrels from the prior year.

China Oil Companies

China’s national oil companies (“NOCs”) wield a significant amount of influence in China’s oil sector. Between 1994 and 1998, the Chinese government reorganized most state-owned oil and gas assets into two vertically integrated firms: the China National Petroleum Corporation (“CNPC”) and the China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (“Sinopec”). These two conglomerates operate a range of local subsidiaries, and together dominate China’s upstream and downstream oil markets. CNPC remains the much larger and influential NOC and is the leading upstream company  in China. CNPC, along with its publicly-listed arm PetroChina, accounts for roughly 60 percent and 80 percent of China’s total oil and gas output, respectively, though the company’s current strategy is to integrate its sectors and capture more downstream market share. Sinopec, on the other hand, has traditionally focused on downstream activities such as refining and distribution with these sectors making up 80 percent of the company’s revenues in recent years and we believe is gradually seeking to acquire more upstream assets.
 
Additional state-owned oil firms have emerged in the competitive landscape in China over the last several years. The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (“CNOOC”), which is responsible for offshore oil exploration and production, has seen its role expand as a result of growing attention to offshore zones. Also, CNOOC has proven to be a growing competitor to CNPC and Sinopec by not only increasing its oil exploration and production expenditures in the South China Sea but also extending its reach into the downstream sector particularly in the southern Guangdong Province through its recent 300 billion yuan investment plan. The Sinochem Corporation and CITIC Group have also expanded their presence in China’s oil sector, although their involvement in the oil sector remains dwarfed by CNPC, Sinopec, and CNOOC. The government intends to use stimulus plan to enhance energy security and strengthen Chinese NOCs’ global position by offering various incentives to invest in both upstream and downstream oil markets.
 
China Oil Refineries
 
China’s goal is to augment refining capacity by about 3.3 million bbl/d by 2015 if planned projects materialize as scheduled, and China commissioned about 850,000 bbl/d capacity in 2009 according to the International Energy Agency. A recent report by Sinopec stated that the national oil refining capacity would rise to 10 million bbl/d by 2011 and 15 million bbl/d by 2016. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, refinery utilization in China increased from 67 percent in 1998 to 87 percent in 2009.
 
Sinopec and CNPC are historically the two dominant providers in China’s oil refining sector, accounting for 50 percent and 35 percent of the capacity, respectively. However, CNOOC entered the downstream arena and commissioned the company’s first refinery, the 240,000 bbl/d Huizhou plant, in March 2009 in order to process the high-sulfur crudes from its Bohai Bay fields. Sinochem has also proposed a number of new refineries, and national oil companies from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Venezuela have entered into joint-ventures with Chinese companies to build new refining facilities. The NOCs recently expanded their refining portfolios through commissioning two more refineries in 2010, Sinopec’s Tianjin and CNPC’s Qinzhou, each carrying capacities of 200,000 bbl/d. By the end of 2009, Sinopec’s total processing capacity reached around 4.2 million bbl/d, up by 12.6 percent over the previous year.
 
In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) plans to eliminate refineries of 20,000 bbl/d that are mostly owned by independent companies in efforts to encourage economies of scale and energy efficiency measures. In addition, PetroChina (CNPC) is recently branching out to acquire refinery stakes in other countries in efforts to move downstream and secure more global trading and arbitrage opportunities.  PetroChina’s acquisition of Singapore Petroleum Corporation and a portion of Japan’s Osaka refinery are examples where PetroChina is looking for a foothold within the region’s refining opportunities.
 
The expansive refining sector has undergone modernization and consolidation in recent years, with dozens of small refineries, accounting for about 20 percent of total fuel output, shut down, and larger refineries expanding and upgrading their existing systems.

China Oil Prices
 
The Chinese government launched a fuel tax and reform of the country’s product pricing mechanism in December 2008 in order to tie retail oil product prices more closely to the  international crude oil market, attract downstream investment, ensure profit margins for refiners, and reduce energy intensity caused by distortions in the market pricing. When international crude oil prices skyrocketed in mid-2008, the capped fuel prices downstream caused some refiners, especially the smaller refiners, to cease production causing supply shortfalls and the major NOCs, particularly Sinopec, to incur substantial profit losses. During the first half of 2009, the government issued value added tax rebates on fuel imports and some direct subsidies to stem state-refiners’ losses.
 
China is taking advantage of the economic recession to liberalize its pricing system and encourage more market responsiveness and fuel efficiency. When fuel prices fluctuate more than 4 percent of the average crude oil price of three grades for over 22 consecutive working days, the NDRC can alter the ex-refinery price. The government also sets transportation charges, processing costs, and refining margins (5% when crude prices are below $80/bbl). Additionally, a consumption tax and value-added tax is added for gasoline and diesel fuels. These taxes are set to replace six transportation fees established by local authorities.
 
Imports of Heavy Crude Oil
 
The Middle East remains the largest source of China’s oil imports, although African countries also contribute a significant amount to China’s crude oil imports. According to FACTS Global Energy, China imported 4 million bbl/d of crude oil in 2009, of which approximately 2 million bbl/d (50%) came from the Middle East, 1.2 million bbl/d (30%) from Africa, 184,000 bbl/d (5%) from the Asia-Pacific region, and 686,000 bbl/d (17%) came from other countries. In 2009, Saudi Arabia and Angola were China’s two largest sources of oil imports, together accounting for over one-third of China’s total crude oil imports. In the first half of 2010, crude oil imports jumped to over 4.7 million bbl/d or a 30 percent year on year increase, resulting from China’s increasing demands.  Also, Angola has become as significant an exporter of crude oil to China as Saudi Arabia and in certain months has been the largest supplier.  The EIA expects China to import about 72 percent of its crude oil by 2035, a significant rise from the current 50 percent according to the International Energy Outlook.
 
As China diversifies its crude oil import sources and expands oil production domestically, state-owned refiners will have to adjust to the changing crude slate. Traditionally, many of China’s refineries were built to handle relatively light and sweet crude oils, such as Daqing and other domestic sources. In recent years, refiners have built or upgraded facilities to support greater Middle Eastern crude oil imports, which tend to be heavy and sour. However, more recently, China’s refiners have also had to prepare for high-acid and high-sulfur crude oil streams. Much of the country’s planned new oil production in the offshore Bohai Bay is considered high-acid, and China is the largest importer of Sudan’s Dar Blend, a high-acid crude.  High-acid oil tends to be light and sweet, but refiners must install stainless steel metallurgy or utilize other advanced processes to successfully run the crude streams. This increased the demands by the Chinese refiners to upgrade and change their production facilities, which we believe also increased the demands for our products and services.
 
China Environmental Regulations
 
In recent years, the Chinese government has made protection of the environment a priority, strengthening its environmental legislation. In 2005, the Chinese government’s State Environmental Protection Administration enacted a new, far-reaching regulatory and environmental initiative including reduced total emissions by 15% and increasing China’s energy efficiency by 30%. Furthermore, each province in China has followed the central government’s directive and established their own targets for pollution issues that affect their province. Most of the provinces pollution reduction targets have focused on air pollution caused largely by sulfur dioxide emissions and water pollution. Also, since China entered the World Trade Organization in 2001 and has begun to play an increasingly larger role in international politics, the government has been held more accountable for its climate footprint. At the Copenhagen Climate Conference, the central Chinese government pledged to cut emissions by 40 percent and reaffirmed this pledge at the U.N. Climate Summit in Mexico City in December 2010.

Distribution & Technical Services
 
We distribute hundreds of different types of valves and related equipment from manufacturers/suppliers such as Cameron (NYSE: CAM) and Poyam Valves. Recently, we successfully developed our relationship with two new well-known industrial equipment suppliers, Ruhrpumpen, a leading pump manufacturer based in Germany, and ABB, a leader in power and automation technologies based in Switzerland, to distribute their pump and measurement products, respectively, to the Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies pursuant to the distribution agreements we signed with them. We also provide related value-added technical services to manufacturers and petroleum and petrochemical companies. We provide locally customized technical services for international companies who sell products in China but who do not have local offices. For these companies, we offer our services by enlisting our engineers on the ground to provide localized services for their products. Our technical services include, but are not limited to: communicating with the design and R&D arms of the large Chinese oil companies; verifying and confirming the specification of products; and product inspecting, maintenance and debugging assistance. We have also provided technical services to principal European manufacturers and assisted one to become the vender of block valves for the second line in the West-East Gas Pipeline Project.
 
Systems Integration
 
We provide systems integration services for self-control of the chemical production process. This process includes integration of storage operations and transportation of valve instruments from tank farms, as well as providing upgrading services of programmable logic controllers with instrument systems. Currently, we are undertaking systematic integrations of operations in several chemical plant tank farm projects.
 
Software
 
Polymerization reaction is very important in the petrochemical process. It converts ethylene, propylene and other major gas-phase products into solid products which in turn can be further processed. Polymerization provides raw materials for downstream industries. The conditions important to the polymerization reaction process are mainly temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level and the catalyst. Prior to using a new process or before a catalyst is put into mass production, as well as before products are officially used, the process needs to be tested. Our software helps test the processes by producing data collection, performance analysis and process optimization indications. Polymerization reaction data collection and analysis software provides production process automation control. Our software can also be applied to other industries including the coal and steel industries.
 
Oil Sludge Cleaning
 
The PRC government recently mandated automated cleaning technologies to be used in all oil refiners in China starting on July 1, 2010 in order to improve the safety of refining operations.  We estimate the market for this cleaning technology is approximately US$120 million, growing at about 7% per annum. Currently, only less than 20% of Chinese oil refineries use automated cleaning technologies compared to 80%-90% in developed countries.

In September 2010, we entered into a strategic alliance and signed a two-year distribution agreement with System Kikou Co., Ltd (“SKK”), located in Tokyo, Japan, one of the world’s leading automated oil sludge treatment companies, to introduce its cleaning equipment and technology to China.  We are currently the exclusive distributor of SKK’s equipment in China; our key employees have strong experience and extensive resources in the industrial production processes safety area, which we believe allows us to successfully introduce the SKK automatic oil tank cleaning equipment and technology to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies.
 
We may generate revenue from this segment through:
 
l
providing the oil sludge cleaning services with the SKK equipment and technology directly to the oil refiners in China;
 
l
distributing the SKK oil sludge cleaning equipment as an exclusive distribution agent in China; and
 
l
leasing the SKK oil sludge cleaning equipment to other oil sludge cleaning companies in China.
 
Manufacturing and selling of industrial chemical products
 
Our majority-owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, was incorporated in January 2005, and is the sixth largest polyacrylamide products manufacturer in China, (according to China Polyacrylamide Industry Competition Trends Forecast Report issued by China National Functional Polymer Industry Committee) with a  total maximum production capacity of approximately 18,000 metric tons per annum.  Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal and sewage treatments; (3) an auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant for river water treatments.
 
We believe, the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng in July 2010 enabled us to improve our product structure and diversify our channels of business opportunities.  Currently, we sold the polyacrylaminde products mainly though the distributors to the end users, who are mostly large oil fields. We are currently making efforts to leverage our relationships in the petroleum and petrochemical industry to sell our products to end users directly, so that we can further increase our profit from this business segment and save the end users cost at the same time.
 
Depending on customers’ needs, our products and services may be bundled together or provided individually.

Client relationship advantages
 
Most of the petroleum and petrochemical companies are very large state-owned enterprises in China which set high standards and thresholds for products and services providers. We have worked closely with the largest industry leaders, CNOOC, Sinochem Group, Sinopec and CNPC, to provide equipment and technical services, for almost 10 years. Our key management personnel have at least 10-20 years of experience in the industry and have established broad channels and networks within the industry and have earned the trust of these large state-owned industry leaders. We have also maintained strong relationships with our suppliers and research institutions.
 
Design and research and development advantage
 
We have partnered with the leading industrial design and research and development institutions throughout China to develop standards and select equipment for the petroleum and petrochemical industries, which has led to the development of our integrated products and services and their achievement of a higher level of technological sophistication as compared with our competitors. Specifically, we have partnered and/or worked with Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Corporation and Sinopec Engineering Incorporation, which are the design and R&D institutions wholly owned by Sinopec; and China Huanqiu Contracting & Engineering Corporation and China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation, which are the design and R&D institutions wholly owned by CNPC. These companies assist Sinopec and CNPC with the design and construction of both new and old production facilities. Generally, our role focuses on assisting these companies with locating suitable products from around the world to complete various aspects of the facilities design. For example, we use our expertise in flow control equipment to help identify and select valves and other equipment that meet specific design requirements.
 
We currently have approximately 149 employees (excluding employees of Anhui Jucheng), many from China’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies and their design and R&D subsidiaries, and they possess extensive technology and design and R&D capabilities.
 
Comprehensive localized system integration advantage
 
We have accumulated more than six years of comprehensive system integration services experience with a relatively stable base of clients and products and an effective operational team. This experience has allowed us to emerge as a high-end integrator of industrial products and related engineering services. We have the ability to understand our customers’ current systems and needs, and then design the total solution to integrate international products and technologies with their local systems.
 
Advanced and clean technology advantage
 
We currently entered into the oil sludge cleaning business segment under the strategic alliance with System Kikou Co., Ltd (“SKK”), located in Tokyo, Japan, one of the world’s leading automated oil sludge treatment companies.
 
The advantages of SKK’s automatic oil tank cleaning equipment mainly include:
 
l
sealed operation, safe and reliable
 
l
environment friendly, with no emissions;
 
l
recovery of the remaining crude oil in the tank, and increasing production efficiency; and
 
l
convenient for installation and transportation, with a high degree of commonality for different refineries.
 
We signed a two-year distribution agreement with SKK and are the exclusive distributor of its equipment in China. With our extensive experience and relationships in the petroleum and petrochemical industries, and  in light of the Chinese government’s aggressive industry targets to improve production safety and reduce the occurrence of accidents, we believe this business segment will contribute organic growth to our business.
 
 
10

 
 
We are the first company to bring DeltaValve’s affordable, environment-friendly, safe and maintenance-free coke-drum enclosed unheading system to the Chinese marketplace. The delayed coking process produces more pollution than any other refining step. The totally enclosed unheading units we distribute and install significantly reduce emissions. Given the Chinese government’s aggressive industry targets to reduce air pollution, traditional delayed coking units will have to be updated.
 
Benefit from income tax policy
 
Our PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been qualified as a software enterprise by the related government authorities. Accordingly, Beijing JianXin can benefit from an income tax exemption for two years beginning with its first profitable year of 2009 and a 50% tax reduction to a rate of 12.5% for the subsequent three years. This tax benefit will reduce the capital demands in our operating activities and allow us to invest more funding into long-term projects and to better serve our clients.
 
Experienced workforce
 
Currently, many of our senior managers and engineers have significant prior experience in the petroleum and petrochemical industry. Many of our employees have graduated from petrochemical based institutions and colleges. Our executive team has over 100 years of management experience in the aggregate and provides excellent operating and technical administration for our company.
 
Healthy financial growth
 
We achieved a 112% year-to-year net income growth for fiscal year 2010 ending March 31, 2010, compared with that of 2009, and a 63% year-to-year net income growth to $24.4 million for fiscal year 2011. We project a 45.3% year-over-year organic net income growth to $35.5 million for fiscal year 2012.
 
Supplier relationships
 
We distribute high quality products of international suppliers, which afford us a distinctive reputation and significant profit. We have close relationships with reputable brand name manufacturers, and remain the largest distributor of many of their products in China. We currently are the authorized distributor of AMPO S. COOP — Poyam Valves (“AMPO”), DeltaValve, Rotork, Bornemann, Metso, Ruhrpumpen and ABB, which allow us to distribute their products in China. In addition, we have an agreement with AMPO dated January 2010, where we will set up an after-sale services institution in China of AMPO valves and provide spare parts of AMPO valves to the China market. The agreement is for the duration of 2 years with the option to sign additional agreements after expiration. We also signed an agreement with DeltaValve dated February 2010 to be an independent distributor for purchase and resale of coker unheading systems, isolation valves and related spare parts for 2 years.
 
Growth Strategy
 
We plan to strengthen our leading position and achieve rapid growth through the following strategies:
 
 
l
Product localization: we plan to partially localize our products by partnering with local manufacturing and assembly facilities in China for the oil sludge cleaning equipment, which will significantly decrease our costs and increase our competitive strength;
 
 
l
Strengthening our research and development effort to increase the functions and the stability of our optimization software to increase the sales volume of our software products which have a relatively high gross margin;
 
 
l
Expanding our distribution channels and network by increasing our  sales force and collect more industrial information and enhancing our communication with existing and potential clients;
 
 
11

 
 
 
l
Expanding and diversifying our supplier base and alliances and maintaining broader products and service solutions  to be introduced to our customers;
 
 
l
Increasing our business opportunities through acquisitions to boost operational and cross-selling synergies and further diversify our products and channels of business.
 
Competition
 
We compete against other companies which seek to provide the Chinese petroleum refinery industry with a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment and associated technical and engineering services. Much like us, these companies compete on the basis of cost, the size of their distribution product portfolio, and level of technical and engineering expertise. In addition, similar products to those distributed by us are available from domestic Chinese and foreign manufacturers and compete with the products in our distribution portfolio.
 
Z&J Technologies GmbH is a German industrial valve company and a direct competitor to China LianDi/DeltaValve’s enclosed unheading units. Honeywell is also a competitor of our optimization software. Oreco A/S, a company in Denmark that specializes in the development and production of automated, non-man entry oil tank cleaning and oil recovery systems and is a competitor of LianDi/SKK’s oil sludge cleaning equipment and technology.
 
Methods of Distribution
 
We maintain aggressive sales channels and distribution networks in China with an approximately 65 member sales team. We have spent significant amount of time developing relationships with international equipment suppliers, and with the PRC’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies.
 
Our Suppliers
 
We maintain close relationships with, and distribute products for large, industry leading valve and equipment manufacturers, including Cameron, DeltaValve, Poyam Valves, Rotork, Bornemann, Metso, Ruhrpumpen and ABB. Most of our suppliers renew supply contracts annually, though some suppliers have signed multi-year agreements. We expect all existing supplier relationships will continue on an ongoing basis and that going forward we will add new partners to diversify our supplier base.
 
Significant Customers
 
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our major customer breakdown as a percentage of revenues was as follows: Sinopec: 32%; CNPC: 35%; and other: 33% (of which 16% represented the industrial chemicals revenue of Anhui Jucheng). We are dependent on China’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies in our distribution business. As we grow our business, we intend to diversify our customer relationships that can benefit from our technology and software business.
 
Design and Research and Development
 
We have partnered with the leading industrial design and R&D institutions throughout the PRC to develop standards and select equipment for the petroleum and petrochemical industries, which has led to the development of our integrated products and services and their achievement of a higher level of technological sophistication as compared with our competitors.
 
Specifically, our engineering staff understands all specifications, budget parameters and functional project requirements. We then use this understanding to find suitable products and suppliers. As part of this process, we help our partners reduce costs by designing and/or improving certain systems, including hydraulic systems, control systems, supporting bracket, and other systems. Finally, we assist with the integration of these products within their core products.
 
 
12

 
 
We currently have approximately 40 employees dedicated to design and R&D activities. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we spent approximately $258,300 on such activities.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our business operations do not require any special government licenses or permits.
 
Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
We believe that we are in compliance with the current material environmental protection requirements. Our costs attributed to compliance with environmental laws are negligible.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The PRC has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. The PRC is a signatory to the main international conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon its accession to the WTO in December 2001.

PRC Government Regulations
 
Various aspects of our operations are subject to numerous laws, regulations, rules and specifications of the PRC. We are in compliance in all material respects with such laws, regulations, rules and specifications and have obtained all material permits, approvals and registrations relating to human health and safety, the environment, taxation, foreign exchange administration, financial and auditing, and labor and employment. We make expenditures from time to time to stay in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Below we set forth a summary of the most significant PRC regulations or requirements that may affect our business activities operated in the PRC or our shareholders’ right to receive dividends and other distributions of profits from Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, wholly foreign owned enterprises under the PRC laws, and Anhui Jucheng, a majority foreign owned enterprise under the PRC laws (collectively “PRC subsidiaries”).
 
Business License
 
Any company that conducts business in the PRC must have a business license that covers a particular type of work. The business licenses of our PRC subsidiaries cover their present business activities. Prior to expanding our PRC subsidiaries’ business beyond that of their business license, we are required to apply and receive approval from the PRC government.
 
Annual Inspection
 
In accordance with relevant PRC laws, all types of enterprises incorporated under the PRC laws are required to conduct annual inspections with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC or its local branches. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises are also subject to annual inspections conducted by PRC government authorities. In order to reduce enterprises’ burden of submitting inspection documentation to different government authorities, the Measures on Implementing Joint Annual Inspection issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce together with other six ministries in 1998 stipulated that foreign-invested enterprises shall participate in a joint annual inspection jointly conducted by all relevant PRC government authorities. Our PRC subsidiaries, as foreign-invested enterprises, have participated and passed all such annual inspections since their incorporation.
 
Employment Laws
 
We are subject to laws and regulations governing our relationship with our employees, including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, work permits and travel restrictions. These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance.
 
China’s National Labor Law, which became effective on January 1, 1995, and China’s National Labor Contract Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, permits workers in both state and private enterprises in China to bargain collectively. The National Labor Law and the National Labor Contract Law provide for collective contracts to be developed through collaboration between the labor union (or worker representatives in the absence of a union) and management that specify such matters as working conditions, wage scales, and hours of work. The laws also permit workers and employers in all types of enterprises to sign individual contracts, which are to be drawn up in accordance with the collective contract.

Foreign Investment in PRC Operating Companies
 
The Foreign Investment Industrial Catalogue jointly issued by the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, and the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, in 2007 classified various industries/businesses into three different categories: (i) encouraged for foreign investment; (ii) restricted to foreign investment; and (iii) prohibited from foreign investment. For any industry/business not covered by any of these three categories, they will be deemed industries/businesses permitted to have foreign investment. Except for those expressly provided restrictions, encouraged and permitted industries/businesses are usually 100% open to foreign investment and ownership. With regard to those industries/businesses restricted to or prohibited from foreign investment, there is always a limitation on foreign investment and ownership. Our PRC subsidiaries’ business do not fall under the industry categories that are restricted to or prohibited from foreign investment and are not subject to limitation on foreign investment and ownership.
 
Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange
 
Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is governed by a series of regulations, including the Foreign Currency Administrative Rules (1996), as amended, and the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), as amended. Under these regulations, Renminbi is freely convertible for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for direct investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC without the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Pursuant to the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), Foreign Invested Enterprises, or FIEs, may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of the SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant Chinese government authorities may limit or eliminate the ability of FIEs to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange transactions for direct investment, loan and investment in securities outside the PRC are still subject to limitations and require approvals from the SAFE.
 
Regulation of FIEs’ Dividend Distribution
 
The principal laws and regulations in the PRC governing distribution of dividends by FIEs include:
 
 
(i)
The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1979), as amended, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1983), as amended;
 
 
(ii)
The Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1988), as amended, and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1995), as amended;
 
 
(iii)
The Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Regulations of Implementation of the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.
 
Under these regulations, FIEs in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
 
Regulation of a Foreign Currency’s Conversion into RMB and Investment by FIEs
 
On August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to the Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. The Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance.

Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore Transactions
 
In October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and was further supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. SAFE Notice 75 states that PRC residents, whether natural or legal persons, must register with the relevant local SAFE branch prior to establishing or taking control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests held by them. The term “PRC legal person residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 refers to those entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. The SAFE implementation notice of November 24, 2005 further clarifies that the term “PRC natural person residents” as used under SAFE Notice 75 refers to those “PRC natural person residents” defined under the relevant PRC tax laws and those natural persons who hold any interests in domestic entities that are classified as “domestic-funding” interests.
 
PRC residents are required to complete amended registrations with the local SAFE branch upon: (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments or, providing security, and these changes do not relate to return investment activities. PRC residents who have already organized or gained control of offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before SAFE Notice 75 was promulgated must register their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.
 
Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFE Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.
 
Government Regulations Relating to Taxation
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress or the NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.
 
On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law, the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, and 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.
 
 
16

 
 
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises.” Non-resident enterprises refer to enterprises which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are a U.S. holding company and substantially all of our income is derived from dividends we receive from our subsidiaries located in the PRC. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.
 
Such income tax may be exempted or reduced by the State Council of the PRC or pursuant to a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC shareholders reside. For example, the 10% withholding tax is reduced to 5% pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement Between Hong Kong and Mainland China if the beneficial owner in Hong Kong owns more than 25% of the registered capital in a company in the PRC.
 
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in any of our subsidiaries’ tax rates in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM, the China Securities Regulatory Commission or the CSRC, the State Asset Supervision and Administration Commission or the SASAC, the State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce or the SAIC and SAFE, amended and released the New M&A Rule, which took effect as of September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) formed for purposes of an overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
 
On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with the CSRC. The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.
 
Regulation of the Software Industry
 
Software Copyright
 
The China State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of Computer Software, or the Software Protection Regulations, on December 20, 2001, which became effective on January 1, 2002. The Software Protection Regulations were promulgated, among other things, to protect the copyright of computer software in China. According to the Software Protection Regulations, computer software that is independently developed and exists in a physical form or is attached to physical goods will be protected. However, such protection does not apply to any ideas, mathematical concepts, processing and operation methods used in the development of software solutions.
 
 
17

 
 
Under the Software Protection Regulations, PRC citizens, legal persons and organizations shall enjoy copyright protection over computer software that they have developed, regardless of whether the software has been published. Foreigners or any person without a nationality shall enjoy copyright protection over computer software that they have developed, as long as such computer software was first distributed in China. Software of foreigners or any person without a nationality shall enjoy copyright protection in China under these regulations in accordance with a bilateral agreement signed between China and the country to which the developer is a citizen of or in which the developer habitually resides, or in accordance with an international treaty to which China is a party.
 
Under the Software Protection Regulations, owners of software copyright protection shall enjoy the rights of publication, authorship, modification, duplication, issuance, lease, transmission on the information network, translation, licensing and transfer. Software copyright protection takes effect on the day of completion of the software’s development.
 
The protection period for software developed by legal persons and other organizations is 50 years and ends on the thirty-first day of December of the fiftieth year from the date the software solution was first published. However, the Software Protection Regulations will not protect the software if it is published within 50 years of the completion of its development. A contract of licensing shall be made to license others to exploit the software copyright, and if the licensing of exploitation of software copyright is exclusive, a written contract shall be made. A written contract also shall be made for the transfer of any software copyright.
 
Civil remedies available under the Software Protection Regulations against infringements of copyright include cessation of the infringement, elimination of the effects, apology and compensation for losses. The administrative department of copyright shall order the infringer of software copyright to stop all infringing acts, confiscate illegal gains, confiscate and destroy infringing copies, and may impose a fine on the offender under certain circumstances. Disputes regarding infringements of software copyright may be settled through mediation. In addition, the parties involved in the disputes may apply for arbitration in accordance with any arbitration provisions set forth in the copyright contract or arbitration agreement otherwise entered into between or among the parties. If the parties neither have an arbitration provision in the copyright contract, nor an arbitration agreement, they may resolve their dispute through the PRC courts directly.
 
Software Copyright Registration
 
On February 20, 2002, the State Copyright Administration of the PRC promulgated and enforced the Measures Concerning Registration of Computer Software Copyright Procedures, or the Registration Procedures, to implement the Software Protection Regulations and to promote the development of China’s software industry. The Registration Procedures apply to the registration of software copyrights and software copyright exclusive licensing contracts and assignment contracts. The registrant of a software copyright will either be the copyright owner, or another person (whether a natural person, legal person or an organization) in whom the software copyright becomes vested through succession, assignment or inheritance.
 
Pursuant to the Registration Procedures, the software to be registered must (i) have been independently developed or (ii) significantly improve in its function or performance after modification from the original software with the permission of the original copyright owner. If the software being registered is developed by more than one person, the copyright owners may nominate one person to handle the copyright registration process on behalf of the other copyright owners. If the copyright owners fail to reach an agreement with respect to the registration, any of the copyright owners may apply for registration but the names of the other copyright owners must be recorded on the application.
 
The registrant of a software copyright and the parties to a software copyright assignment contract or exclusive licensing contract may apply to the Copyright Protection Center of the PRC for registration of such software copyright and contracts. To register a software copyright, the following documents shall be submitted: (i) a completed software copyright registration application form in accordance with relevant requirements; (ii) identification materials of software; and (iii) relevant documentation demonstrating ownership. To register a software copyright assignment contract or exclusive licensing contract, the following materials shall be submitted: (i) a completed contract registration form in accordance with relevant requirements; (ii) a copy of the contract; and (iii) the applicant’s identification documents. The Copyright Protection Center of the PRC will complete its examination of an accepted application within 60 days of the date of acceptance. If an application complies with the requirements of the Software Protection Regulations and the Registration Procedures, a registration will be granted, a corresponding registration certificate will be issued and the registration will be publicly announced.

Software Products Administration
 
On October 27, 2000, the MIIT issued and enforced the Measures Concerning Software Products Administration, to regulate and administer software products and promote the development of the software industry in China. Pursuant to the Measures Concerning Software Products Administration, all software products operated or sold in China had to be duly registered and recorded with the relevant authorities, and no entity or individual is allowed to sell or distribute any unregistered and unrecorded software products.
 
To produce software products in China, a software producer was required to meet the following requirements: (i) it possessed the status of an enterprise legal person, and its scope of operations included the computer software business (including technology development of software or production of software products); (ii) it had a fixed production site; (iii) it possessed necessary conditions and technologies for producing software products; and (iv) it possessed quality control measures and capabilities for the production of software products. Software developers or producers were allowed to sell their registered and recorded software products independently or through agents, or by way of licensing. Software products developed in China had to be registered with the local provincial governmental authorities in charge of information industry and then filed with the taxation authority at the same level and MIIT. Imported software products (software developed overseas and sold or distributed into China), had to be registered with the MIIT. Upon registration, the software products had to be granted registration certificates. Each registration certificate was valid for five years from the issuance date and could be renewed upon expiry. The MIIT and other relevant departments carried out supervision and inspection over the development, production, operation and import/export activities of software products in China.
 
On March 1, 2009, the MIIT promulgated the amended and restated Measures Concerning Software Products Administration, or the New Measures, which became effective on April 10, 2009. Under the New Measures, software products operated or sold in China are not required to be registered or recorded by relevant authorities, and software products developed in China (including those developed in China on the basis of imported software) can enjoy certain favorable policies when they have been registered and recorded. The New Measures also eliminated the October 2000 requirements set forth above.
 
Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries
 
On June 24, 2000, the State Council issued Certain Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries, or the Policies, to encourage the development of the software and integrated circuit industries in China and to enhance the competitiveness of the PRC information technology industry in the international market. The Policies encourage the development of the software and integrated circuit industries in China through various methods, including:
 
 
(i)
Encouraging venture capital investment in the software industry and providing or assisting software enterprises to raise capital overseas;
 
 
(ii)
Providing tax incentives, including an immediate tax rebate for taxpayers who sell self-developed software products, before 2010, of the amount of the statutory value-added tax that exceeds 3% and a number of exemptions and reduced enterprise income tax rates;
 
 
(iii)
Providing government support, such as government funding in the development of software technology;
 
 
(iv)
Providing preferential treatment, such as credit facilities with low interest rates to enterprises that export software products;
 
 
(v)
Taking various strategies to ensure that the software industry has sufficient expertise; and
 
 
19

 
 
 
(vi)
Implementing measures to enhance intellectual property protection in China.
 
To qualify for preferential treatment, an enterprise must be recognized as a software enterprise by governmental authorities. A software enterprise is subject to annual inspection, failure of which in a given year shall cause the enterprise not to be able to enjoy the relevant benefits.
 
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, readers should carefully consider the following important factors. These factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, our financial condition and results of operations and could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements that appear in this on Form 10-K or that we have made or will make elsewhere.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
Key employees are essential to growing our business.
 
Jianzhong Zuo, Jintai Zhao, Zipeng Zhang and Junheng Su are essential to our ability to continue to grow our business. These individuals have established key relationships with customers and suppliers within the industries in which we operate. If one or more of these key employees were to leave us, our relationships with our customers and suppliers may become strained, and our growth strategy might be hindered, which could limit our ability to increase revenue.
 
In addition, we face competition for attracting skilled personnel. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel to meet current and future needs, this could slow our ability to grow our business, which could result in a decrease in market share.
 
We may need additional capital and we may not be able to obtain it at acceptable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
 
We may need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.
 
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including, but not limited to the following, and therefore may never occur:
 
 
l
investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of similar oil and gas equipment and services companies in China;
 
 
l
conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
 
 
l
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;
 
 
l
PRC governmental regulation of foreign investment in oil and gas equipment and services companies in China;
 
 
l
economic, political and other conditions in China; and
 
 
l
PRC governmental policies relating to foreign currency borrowings.
 
 
20

 
 
We rely on computer software and hardware systems in managing our operations, the failure of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are dependent upon our computer software and hardware systems in supporting our network and managing and monitoring programs on the network. In addition, we rely on our computer hardware for the storage, delivery and transmission of the data on our network. Any system failure which interrupts the input, retrieval and transmission of data or increases the service time could disrupt our normal operation. Any failure in our computer software or hardware systems could decrease our revenues and harm our relationships with our customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers could adversely impact our distribution capabilities or increase our costs, which could harm our reputation or materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We import high-quality petroleum and petrochemical valves and other equipment from a limited number of third-party suppliers, including Cameron, DeltaValve, Poyam Valves, Rotork, Bornemann, Ruhrpumpen and ABB, and distribute them to our domestic clients who are large petroleum and petrochemical companies located and operating in China. The failure of a supplier to supply valves and other equipment satisfying our quality, quantity and cost requirements in a timely and efficient manner could impair our ability to distribute these products, increase our costs, and have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain our client network of domestic buyers of this machinery. The third-party suppliers from whom we import petroleum and petrochemical valves and other equipment have not committed, contractually or otherwise, to distribute their products through us on an exclusive or a non-exclusive basis. If we fail to maintain our relationships with these suppliers or fail to develop new relationships with other suppliers, we may only be able to distribute these products at a higher cost or after lengthy delays, or may not be able to distribute these products at all. If our suppliers identify alternative sales channels, they may choose to sell to other buyers or raise their prices. As a result, we may be compelled to pay higher prices to secure our product supply, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Although our continuing relationships with products manufacturers and suppliers are important components of our future growth plan, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be a distributor for such manufacturers, on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, or that we will in the future successfully consummate the expansion and investment opportunities that we seek.
 
In the past, we have had a strong working relationship with our products’ manufacturers/suppliers and have acted as the sole distributor of some of these products in China. Although we believe that our relationship with the products’ manufacturers and suppliers will continue, there is no assurance that we will retain our position as sole distributor of certain products, or as a distributor of their products. The manufacturers and suppliers may determine to provide licenses to distribute their products to our competitors and/or may not renew our licenses with them on terms favorable to us or at all. Furthermore, although we continually explore many potential expansion and investment opportunities in our industry with third parties, there can be no assurance that the opportunities that we pursue will ultimately be consummated, or appropriately licensed and approved. In such circumstances, we may be required to pursue other opportunities at lower margins, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
In the past several years we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from a small group of customers. If we are to remain dependent upon only a few customers, such dependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our customer base has been highly concentrated. For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our two largest customers accounted for 67% and 91% of our total sales, respectively, and the single largest customer accounted for 35% and 51% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from year-to-year, during such years that the customer base is highly concentrated, the loss of, or reduction of our sales to, any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
 
21

 
 
Many of the contracts that we enter into with purchasers of our products contain liquidated damages provisions for up to 10% of the contract value which, if enforced, would have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
It is customary in our industry for purchase agreements to contain liquidated damages provisions and many of the purchase agreements that we enter into to sell our products contain provisions requiring us to pay a penalty for delays in delivery of our products in the amount of 1% of the contract value for each week delivery is delayed, up to a maximum penalty of 10% of the contract value.  We have never had an instance where a purchaser of our products has enforced this or similar liquidated damages provisions for delivery delays, but we can make no assurance that we will not have such provisions enforced against us in the future.  Any enforcement of liquidated damages provisions by our customers would have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our chairman and chief executive officer, Jianzhong Zuo, owns a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which will enable him to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.
 
As of the date hereof, our chairman and chief executive officer, Jianzhong Zuo, controls approximately 55.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock that are entitled to vote on all corporate actions. These stockholders, acting together, could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the stockholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our stockholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
We have limited insurance coverage.
 
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited insurance products. We have determined that the  cost of insuring for certain risks, and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption, litigation or property insurance coverage for our operations in China except for insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
 
If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
 
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As a public company, we will have significant additional requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal control over financial reporting in its Annual Report that contains  management assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting  The process of designing and implementing effective internal control is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal control that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.
 
 
22

 
 
We cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
 
Lack of experience as officers of publicly-traded companies of our management team may hinder our ability to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff or consultants in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.
 
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.
 
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
 
Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business
 
Uncertainties with respect to government regulations applicable to our business could have a material and adverse effect on us.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and our ownership of equity interest in our PRC subsidiaries. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
 
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to our PRC subsidiaries by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
23

 
 
Our PRC subsidiaries will be subject to restrictions on dividend payments.
 
We may rely on dividends and other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries, our PRC subsidiaries, to provide us with cash flow and to meet our other obligations. Current regulations in the PRC would permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries will be required to set aside at least 10% (up to an aggregate amount equal to half of its registered capital) of its accumulated profits each year. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.
 
PRC regulations on loans and direct investments by overseas holding companies in PRC entities may delay or prevent us to make overseas loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries.
 
Under the PRC laws, foreign investors may make loans to their PRC subsidiaries or foreign investors may make additional capital contributions to their PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to such PRC subsidiaries are subject to the PRC regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations.  Loans by foreign investors to their PRC subsidiaries to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local branch. Foreign investors may also decide to finance their PRC subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions. These capital contributions must be examined and approved by the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or its local branch in advance.
 
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China, and such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress or the NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.
 
On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law, the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, and 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.
 
Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. Because the New EIT Law and its implementing rules are new, no official interpretation or application of this new “resident enterprise” classification is available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.
 
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are “resident enterprises” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares.
 
 
24

 
 
Dividends we received from our PRC subsidiaries may be subject to PRC withholding tax.
 
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises” and that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are an offshore holding company. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.
 
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in our combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
 
Our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold and pay PRC individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If we fail to withhold or pay such individual income tax in accordance with applicable PRC regulations, we may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
 
Under PRC laws, our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold and pay individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If our PRC subsidiaries fail to withhold and/or pay such individual income tax in accordance with PRC laws, they may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
 
In addition, the State Administration of Taxation has issued several circulars concerning employee stock options. Under these circulars, our employees working in the PRC (which could include both PRC employees and expatriate employees subject to PRC individual income tax) who exercise stock options will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee stock options with relevant tax authorities and withhold and pay individual income taxes for those employees who exercise their stock options. While tax authorities may advise us that our policy is compliant, they may change their policy, and we could be subject to sanctions.
 
Regulation of foreign currency’s conversion into RMB and investment by FIEs may adversely affect our PRC subsidiaries’ direct investment in China
 
On August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance.
 
 
25

 
 
Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties.
 
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including MOFCOM, the CSRC, the SASAC, the SAT, the SAIC and SAFE, jointly amended and released the New M&A Rule, which took effect as of September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore SPV formed for purposes of an overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
 
On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with the CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process.
 
The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.
 
It is not clear whether the provisions in the new regulation regarding the offshore listing and trading of the securities of a SPV applies to an offshore company such as us which owns equity interest in the PRC Operating Entity. We believe that the New M&A Rule and the CSRC approval are not required in the context of the Share Exchange under our transaction because (i) such Share Exchange is a purely foreign related transaction governed by foreign laws, not subject to the jurisdiction of PRC laws and regulations; (ii) we are not a SPV formed or controlled by PRC companies or PRC individuals; (iii) the PRC Operating Entity is a PRC wholly foreign owned enterprise, which is not owned or controlled by PRC individuals or entities; (iv) we are owned or substantively controlled by foreigners; and (v) there is no clear requirement in the New M&A Rule that would require an application to be submitted to the MOFCOM or the CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of our company on the U.S. securities market. However, we cannot be certain that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion, and we still cannot rule out the possibility that CSRC may deem that the transactions effected by the Share Exchange circumvented the New M&A Rule, the PRC Securities Law and other rules and notices.
 
If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the CSRC’s approval is required for the transaction, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this Offering into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel the transaction.
 
The New M&A Rule, along with foreign exchange regulations discussed in the above subsection, will be interpreted or implemented by the relevant government authorities in connection with our future offshore financings or acquisitions, and we cannot predict how they will affect our acquisition strategy.
 
Risks Associated With Doing Business In China
 
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.
 
Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

We derive a substantial portion of ours sales from the PRC.
 
Substantially all of our sales are generated from the PRC. We anticipate that sales of our products in the PRC will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could adversely affect consumer demand of our products, among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result of this policy change, Chinese Renminbi appreciated approximately 3.01% against the U.S. dollar in 2010 and 0.09% in 2009. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.
 
The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.
 
Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain all required conversion approvals for our operations or that Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China, or to repay foreign currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
27

 
 
We may have limited legal recourse under PRC laws if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.
 
The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, precedent and experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our new business ventures are unsuccessful, or other adverse circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the transactions, or, may hinder or prevent us from accessing important information regarding the financial and business operations of these acquired companies. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance, or to seek an injunction under PRC law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which may make us less competitive with companies not subject to it.
 
We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in mainland China. If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such practices are illegal, we can not assure you that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties.
 
Changes in foreign exchange regulations in the PRC may affect our ability to pay dividends in foreign currency or conduct other foreign exchange business.
 
Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency currently, and the restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside the PRC or to make dividends or other payments in United States dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Over the years, foreign exchange regulations in the PRC have significantly reduced the government’s control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts. In the PRC, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE, regulates the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC are required to apply for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates.” Currently, conversion within the scope of the “current account” (such as remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends) can be effected without requiring the approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account” (for capital items such as direct investments, loans, securities) still requires the approval of SAFE.
 
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
 
China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities, and, as a result, we are dependent on our relationship with the local government in the province in which we operate our business. Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our activity to conduct business in China.
 
In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards. We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us and our management.
 
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon some of our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to bring an original lawsuit against us or our directors or executive officers before a Chinese court based on U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
 
Because Chinese laws will govern almost all of our business’ material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although legislation in the PRC over the past 25 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete understanding of the judges or government agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to us, and foreign investors. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
 
Risks Related to our Securities
 
Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
 
Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders hold approximately 75.88% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders are able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.

We cannot assure you that our common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
 
Currently, we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, where an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, by law, various requirements would be imposed on broker-dealers who sell its securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity.
 
There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities.
 
There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.
 
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin Board quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common stock. These factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly for companies whose primary operations are located in the PRC. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Because we became a public company by means of a reverse merger, it may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our securities since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.
 
As a result of the registration statement filed under the Registration Rights Agreement becoming effective on August 20, 2010, there are a significant number of shares of common stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
Since August 20, 2010, the effective date of the registration statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, a large number of shares of common stock have become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of our common stock. Further, shares may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well. The current holding period under Rule 144 for our common stock expired on March 4, 2011 (which represented one year from the date that we filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC). Accordingly, after March 4, 2011, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months may, upon filing a notification with the SEC on Form 144, sell common stock into the market in an amount equal to the greater of one percent of the outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume during the last four weeks prior to such sale.

Our common stock is considered “penny stock”.
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock is currently less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be a “penny stock.” Brokers and dealers effecting transactions in “penny stock” must disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell the common stock and may affect your ability to sell shares.
 
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.
 
OTC Bulletin Board securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTC Bulletin Board reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.
 
Patterns of fraud and abuse include:
 
 
l
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
 
l
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
 
l
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
 
l
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
l
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.
 
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.
 
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. We plan to retain any future earning to finance growth.

Techniques employed by manipulative short sellers in Chinese small cap stocks may drive down the market price of our common stock.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has, supposedly, borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale.   As it is therefore in the short seller’s best interests for the price of the stock to decline, many short sellers (sometime known as “disclosed shorts”) publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a stock short.  While traditionally these disclosed shorts were limited in their ability to access mainstream business media or to otherwise create negative market rumors, the rise of the Internet and technological advancements regarding document creation, videotaping and publication by weblog (“blogging”) have allowed many disclosed shorts to publicly attack a company’s credibility, strategy and veracity by means of so-called research reports that mimic the type of investment analysis performed by large Wall Street firm and independent research analysts.  These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market, on occasion in large scale and broad base.  Issuers with business operations based in China and who have limited trading volumes and are susceptible to higher volatility levels than U.S. domestic large-cap stocks, can be particularly vulnerable to such short attacks.

 
31

 
 
These short seller publications are not regulated by any governmental, self-regulatory organization or other official authority in the U.S., are not subject to the certification requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation AC (Regulation Analyst Certification) and, accordingly, the opinions they express may be based on distortions of actual facts or, in some cases, fabrications of facts.  In light of the limited risks involved in publishing such information, and the enormous profit that can be made from running just one successful short attack, unless the short sellers become subject to significant penalties, it is more likely than not that disclosed shorts will continue to issue such reports.

While we intend to strongly defend our public filings against any such short seller attacks, oftentimes we are constrained, either by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law (often called “Anti-SLAPP statutes”), or issues of commercial confidentiality, in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller.  You should be aware that in light of the relative freedom to operate that such persons enjoy – oftentimes blogging from outside the U.S. with little or no assets or identity requirements – should we be targeted for such an attack, our stock will likely suffer from a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in market price should the rumors created not be dismissed by market participants.

Anhui Jucheng occupies properties located in SuiXi County, Huaibei City, Anhui Province, PRC, under land use rights for purposes of production, R&D and employee living quarters.  Anhui Jucheng has land use rights expiring in May 2050 and June 2056 for a total of 58,173 square meters of land for all of its existing plants and plants under construction.
 
On February 16, 2011, Anhui Jucheng entered into a Land Expropriation Contract with Suixi Land and Resources Bureau relating to the transfer to Anhui Jucheng of a 50-year right to use one parcel of land located in Suixi County, Huaibei City, Anhui Province, for a total consideration of $976,146 (RMB6,400,000).  The size of the land being transferred is 66,572 square meters and the land will be used for expansion of Anhui Jucheng’s manufacturing facilities.  Anhui Jucheng also paid $384,357 (RMB2,520,000) as a deposit for the land use rights of another parcel of land also in Suixi County as of March 31, 2011. However, the relevant formalities were not completed prior to March 31, 2011, and therefore, as of year end, Anhui Jucheng had not yet obtained the legal title to the land use rights of these two parcels of land.
 
We believe our existing facilities and equipment are well maintained and in good operating condition, and are sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future.

Company Structure and Reorganization
 
Our company was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, we changed our name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which is further described below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change in control of our company.
 
On February 26, 2010, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of our company.  Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of our common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to us all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of our shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to our former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
 
As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and us to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results of us being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of our company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.

On March 17, 2010, we caused a corporation to be formed under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of us.
 
Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into our company. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.”. Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of our company. 
 
Our company then became a holding company and, through our subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in distributing clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), distributing a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies. We are also engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial chemical products, which is operated through our subsidiary Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. We also expect to launch our oil sludge cleaning solution in July 2011, which will be operated through our subsidiary, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.

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 above, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.
 
Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of the 5% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from our principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services to facilitate the private placement.
 
Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.
 
In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC.
 
Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”) was founded on January 28, 2005 and was wholly owned by a third party individual. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin, our wholly-owned subsidiary, injected capital of RMB40.8 million (approximately US$6,023,652) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash and as a result, we indirectly became an owner of a 51% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products and high polymer fine chemical products, and providing chemical professional services.  We believe the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng will enable us to improve our product structure and diversify our channels of business opportunities in the future.

On December 31, 2010, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, China LianDi, acquired a 100% equity interest in Hongteng HK (a company incorporated in Hong Kong) from Mr. Zuo, our CEO, for a cash consideration of $2,272. This company has a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in China, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.  Beijing Hongteng is engaged in delivering and leasing oil sludge cleaning equipment and providing oil sludge cleaning services.
 
Private Placement
 
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342 shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. We also issued to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26, 2013. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million from the private placement.
 
Basis of preparation and consolidation and use of estimates
 
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
Our 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.
 
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill, and the fair value of share-based payments and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. This Update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We expect that the adoption of the amendments in this update will not have any significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.
 
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 is not expected to 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.
 
In January 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01- Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. This deferral will have no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
39

 
 
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02- Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this update provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-02 will have no 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 audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the control of management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses significant accounting policies and estimates.
 
l
Revenue recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Multiple-deliverable arrangements
 
We derive revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for us to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
 
 
l
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
 
 
l
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and

 
40

 
 
 
l
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.
 
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 two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

l
Goodwill
 
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year for all reporting units. Goodwill is tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. We recognized no impairment loss on goodwill for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
l
Income taxes
 
The entities within our company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
 
Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on its taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
In March 2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT Law”), and promulgated related regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.
 
Beijing JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday through EIT exemption (from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
 
Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng, established in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC income tax. The applicable income tax rate of Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng is 25% for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.

 
42

 
 
l
Comprehensive income
 
FASB ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
l
Stock based compensation
 
We account for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
 
We account for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expenses as the goods or services are received.
 
l
Earnings per share
 
We report earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.  FASB ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilutive effects of convertible securities (using the as-if converted method), and options and warrants and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).
 
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. 
 
l
Foreign currency
 
We have evaluated the determination of our functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters”, which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
 
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of our Hong Kong subsidiaries have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
 
 
43

 
 
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of our PRC subsidiaries have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries is Renminbi.
 
On our own, we raise financing in the U.S. dollar, pay our own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expect to receive any dividends that may be declared by our subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in the U.S. dollar.
 
Therefore, it has been determined that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
 
We use the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
Our PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are as follows:

   
As of March 31, 2011
 
As of March 31, 2010

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

On February 26, 2010, we sold 787,342 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, 1,568,108 shares of preferred stock in the aggregate were converted into the same number of shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.
 
At March 31, 2011, 30,926,880 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 securities or changes in 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 March 31, 2011, 5,517,970 preferred shares were outstanding, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $19,729,591.
 
We have evaluated the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock, without embodying an obligation for us to repurchase or to settle by transferring assets, is not a liability in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
 
Because the event that may trigger redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the delivery of registered shares, is not solely within our control, the Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock holder may request redemption of the preferred stock in the event that our company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the registration statement The related registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of March 31, 2011. Therefore, we have determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2011, we have 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, 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 718-10-S99 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 year ended March 31, 2011 was $4,007,745.
 
Because the fiscal 2011 performance threshold has been met, 1,722,311 shares will be released to Liandi Energy, the Principal Stockholder.  The Company is currently working with the Escrow Agent to facilitate the release of these shares.
 
 
(c)
Warrants
 
On February 26, 2010, we issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75, for cash.  These warrants are exercisable at any time until February 26, 2013.
 
Also on February 26, 2010, we had issued (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which were issued to the placement agent in connection with the private placement and expire in three years on February 26, 2013.
 
 
46

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

Non-GAAP Measures
 
To supplement the audited consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with the Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also provided non-GAAP measures of net income, net income available to common stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash charges recorded, which related to the fair value of the escrow share allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated as a deemed dividend, and a deduction of net income available to common stockholders for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the one-time merger cost incurred for the year ended March 31, 2010, in conjunction with 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.

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 technical 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 software purchase agreement and individual technical consultancy service agreement.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, our total net revenue increased to US$140.84 million from US$77.72 million for the same period of 2010. Without regard to the US$22.57 million revenue generated from sales of chemical products which were operated by our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, for the year ended March 31, 2011, which is discussed separately below, our total revenue increased to US$118.27 million for the year ended March 31, 2011, representing a 52% increase as compared to the same period of 2010.  This increase was mainly due to the increase in 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 year ended March 31, 2011, we achieved approximately US$103.39 million of equipment sales and installation revenue, as compared to US$71.15 million for the same period of 2010, representing a 45% increase.  We completed 75 projects related to sales and installation of equipment for the year ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 56 projects for the same period of 2010.  During the year ended March 31, 2011, one of these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$8 million, four had a contract value greater than US$4 million, five had a contract value greater than US$3 million, fourteen had a contract value greater than US$2 million and five had contract values of more than US$1 million. For the same period of 2010, one of these completed projects had a contract value greater than US$13 million, one had a contract value greater than US$6 million, three had contract values of more than US$4 million, six projects had contract values over US$2 million and five projects had contract values greater than US$1 million.
 
For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$14.67 million and US$6.43 million of software and the related technical implementation services revenue, respectively, representing a 128% increase.  For the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 year ended March 31, 2011, we also achieved approximately US$11.81 million (value-added tax excluded) of software and the related technical implementation services 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.
 
 
50

 
 
For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we also achieved approximately US$0.21 million and US$0.14 million of technical services revenue, respectively..
 
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, we had 17 and 7 signed but uncompleted contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$11 million and US$13 million, respectively.  In addition, we have signed 8 new contracts with total amounts of approximately US$12.1 million after March 31, 2011.  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 years 2010 and 2011.  Recently, we successfully developed our relationship with two new reputable industrial equipment suppliers, Ruhrpumpen, a leading pump manufacturer based in Germany, and ABB, a leader in power and automation technologies manufacturing area based in Switzerland, to distribute their pump and measurement instruments products, respectively, to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies based on the distribution agreements we signed with them. These new distribution agreements expanded our ability to bid for a broader range of products while meeting more of our customers’ needs.  Therefore, we believe, with the successful implementation of our contracts, and our continued efforts in developing the business and enhancing our client relationships, our revenue will continue to increase in fiscal year 2012. 
 
Our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling the industrial chemical product, Polyacrylamide.  Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in the following areas: (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal and sewage treatments; (3) auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant for river water treatments.  We acquired Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010. Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
For the period from July 5, 2010 through March 31, 2011, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 10,855 tons of Polyacrylamide products, and achieved approximately US$22.57 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.  Other direct installation and testing costs related to the software sales and direct cost of performing separate technical services were insignificant based on our historical experience as compared to the related revenue amount.  Therefore, in our normal course of business, we do not consider separate these direct expenses as the software implementation and technical services cost from our total operating expenses as necessary.

Cost of sales of Anhui Jucheng represented the manufacturing cost of the chemical product, Polyacrylamide, sold in each reporting period, which mainly consists of raw material cost (mainly acrylonitrile, acrylic acid and acrylamide solution), salary cost of manufacturing department and other manufacturing overhead such as electricity, water, depreciation and other manufacturing supplies.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$111.06 million from US$59.14 million for the same period of 2010. Without regard to the cost of sales of US$20.88 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the year ended March 31, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$90.18 million for the year ended March 31, 2011. The increase of the cost of sales for the year ended March 31, 2011was consistent with the increase of our net revenue as compared to that of last year.

Without regard to the gross profit generated by our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, which is discussed separately below, for the year ended March 31, 2011, our gross profit increased to US$28.09 million as compared to US$18.58 million for the same period of 2010, representing a 51% increase.  The level of our overall gross margin was mainly affected by (1) the relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical services volume for each reporting period, which contributed a much higher gross margin as compared to that of the equipment sales and installation contracts; and (2) the overall average gross margin of our equipment sales and installation projects completed for each reporting period, which constituted the majority of our total revenue amount.
 
Our overall gross margins were 24% for each of the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross margin for our equipment sales and installation contracts was 19% and 18%, respectively, 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 13% and 8% for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the overall gross margin for our separate software sales and technical services were 59% and 91%, respectively. The decrease of our overall software sales and technical services gross margin for the year ended March 31, 2011 was mainly due to the approximately US$12 million software sales and technical implementation services contracts we signed with PetroChina, which had an overall gross margin of approximately 54% and constituted approximately 81% of our total software and technical services revenue for the period.  For the year ended March 31, 2010, the US$6.4 million software revenue was related to the sales of our data processing software which contributed a gross margin of approximately 91%.
 
We believe that our overall gross margin is typically between 20%-30% on equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services on a fiscal year basis, based on our existing business models. As discussed above, on a quarterly basis, our overall gross margin might not be stable and comparable to each other, which was mainly because of the different percentage of the software and technical services revenue and the equipment sales and installation revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period), which contribute a very different gross margin as compared with each other. As of March 31, 2011, we do not have any material uncompleted equipment sales and installation contracts signed with gross margin significantly below our average gross margin, which was 15%-20%. Therefore, we believe that these existing uncompleted contracts will not have an adverse impact on our future gross margin. We will continue to monitor and review our sales contracts to determine if there will be any adverse impact on our gross margin in future reporting periods.

Anhui Jucheng achieved a 7.5% gross margin for the period from July 5, 2010 through March 31, 2011.  Management believes that the overall gross margin of Anhui Jucheng should normally approximate 10%.  The relatively lower gross margin for the period from July 5, 2010 through March 31, 2011 was mainly because during the period, 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 15%-20%.

Equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services
 
Selling expenses:
 
Our selling expenses decreased slightly to US$1.65 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 from US$1.67 million for the same period of 2010.  Our selling expenses mainly include freight, marketing research and development expenses, salary expenses and traveling expenses of our  sales department.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011: (1) salary expense and staff welfare increased by approximately US$0.04 million, which was mainly due to the expansion of our business and increase of the staff numbers in our sales department; (2) traveling expenses and communication expenses increased by approximately US$0.05 million which was in line with the expansion of our business; (3) freight expenses was approximately the same as last year;  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; (4) marketing research and development expenses decreased by approximately US$0.12 million as compared to the same period of 2010, which was mainly a result of our successful brand and client relationship building activities performed in prior years and the stable and reliable contract implementation performance we achieved, which enabled us to decrease some of our market research and development costs in this year without having any adverse impact on our sales performance.
 
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 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$2.93 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 from US$1.31 million for the same period of 2010.  Our general and administrative expenses mainly include: (1) salary and benefits for management and administrative departments (finance, importation, human resources and administration); (2) office rental and other administrative supplies; (3) management’s traveling expenses; (4) general communication and entertainment expenses; and (5) professional service charges (including but not limited to legal, audits, financial consultancy and investor relations). We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as we hire additional personnel and incur additional costs in connection with the expansion of our business. We also expect to incur increased professional services costs in the future in connection with disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws, and our efforts to continue to improve our internal control systems in-line with the expansion of our business.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses increased due to the following reasons: (1) an approximate US$0.1 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$0.34 million increase in bank handling charges for collection of our accounts receivables related to the equipment sales and installation contracts through letter of credit etc., which increased in-line with the increase of our total revenue as compared with last year; (3) an approximately US$0.07 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$0.41 million increase in share-based compensation expenses; and (5) an approximate US$0.7 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$0.26 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared with US$0.09 million for the same period of 2010, due to an increase of the technical staff to meet our R&D needs. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future as we plan to hire additional R&D personnel to strengthen the functionality of our current software products and develop additional competitive industrial software products.

Operating profits
 
As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit increased to US$23.50 million for the year ended March 31, 2011, of which approximately US$23.25 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.25 million was generated from our sales of chemical products, as compared to the US$15.5 million operating profit we achieved for the same period of 2010.
 
Other income and expenses
 
Our other income and expenses mainly include interest income, interest expenses and bank charges for credit facilities, exchange gains or losses, value added tax refund, other income and expenses.
 
Interest income, interest expenses, bank charges and exchange gains or losses:
 
l
Interest income represents the interest income we earned from cash deposits we kept in the commercial banks.
 
l
Interest expenses represented the interest expenses incurred for the working capital loans we borrowed from our shareholders (annual interest rate of 3% to 5%), the short-term working capital bank loans borrowed by Anhui Jucheng, short-term bank loans borrowed for the exportation of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and the bank overdraft charges. For the year ended March 31, 2011, we incurred approximately US$0.24 million in interest expenses for the shareholder loans, approximately US$0.12 million in interest expenses for the short-term bank loans, which was mainly related to the working capital loans borrowed by Anhui Jucheng, and approximately US$0.02 million of bank overdraft charges.  We also incurred approximately US$0.22 million in bank charges for the year ended March 31, 2011 for the credit facilities granted by our banks for the importation of equipment for our equipment sales and installation contracts.  Increase of interest expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010 was mainly due to the increase of the interest expenses incurred by Anhui Jucheng for its working capital loan borrowed from local commercial banks.
 
l
Exchange loss incurred for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was mainly due to the devaluation of the US dollar against Renminbi, Japanese Yen and Euro.
 
Value added tax refund:
 
Our PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been recognized by the PRC government as a software enterprise. The standard value added tax rate for sales of products of PRC enterprises is 17%. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect to sales of software products. We pay 17% value added tax for our software sales and the tax authorities will refund us 14% of the value added tax that we paid normally within about 1-2 months. This refund is regarded as subsidy income granted by the PRC government and we recognize the value added tax refund as other income only when it has been received. There is no condition to the use of the refund received. We received approximately US$1.94 million and US$0.47 million of value added tax refund for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Other:
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, Anhui Jucheng received approximately US$0.46 million from its provincial and regional governments for its technologies contribution and development in the polyacrylamide production field.  For the year ended March 31, 2011, Anhui Jucheng also achieved approximately US$0.14 million of other income from the selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies.

Income before income tax
 
As a result of the foregoing, our income before income tax increased to US$24.96 million for the year ended March 31, 2011, of which approximately US$24.22 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.74 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$15.04 million income before income tax we achieved for the same period of 2010.
 
Income tax expenses
 
The entities within our company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
 
Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, and the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries are generally subject to Hong Kong profits tax on its taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Beijing JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday through EIT exemption (from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
 
Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng are subject to 25% income tax for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.
 
The new income tax law in China imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the new income tax law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As our subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to the Company for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and 2010. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 were RMB345,042,882 (US$52,626,881).
 
Net income
 
As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased to US$24.44 million for the year ended March 31, 2011, of which approximately US$23.84 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.60 million was generated from our sale of chemical products, as compared to US$15.04 million net income we achieved for the same period of 2010.

Income attributable to non-controlling interests
 
Net income generated from our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, was allocated to the non-controlling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng based on his respective percentage of the ownership in the entity. Based on the percentage ownership of Anhui Jucheng, approximately US$0.30 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net income was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling interest shareholders of Anhui Jucheng for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders
 
Net income minus income attributable to non-controlling interests is net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders. For the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was US$24.14 million and US$15.04 million, 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 year ended March 31, 2011 was approximately US$4.01 million, which were recorded as a deduction to the net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean for the year ended March 31, 2011. We did not recognize any deemed dividend for the period from February 26, 2010 (the date of issuance of these securities) through March 31, 2010, because the amount was immaterial.
 
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$1.82 million and US$0.18 million for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
 
58

 
 
Net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean
 
Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders minus preferred stock deemed dividend and preferred stock cash dividend is net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean.  For the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was US$18.31 million and US$14.85 million, respectively.
 
B.  Liquidity and capital resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.  As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$73.24 million.
 
Our liquidity needs include: net cash used in operating activities, which mainly consists of: (a) cash required for importing the equipment to be distributed to our customers and cash required for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, to purchase raw materials for the manufacturing of chemical products; (b) related freight and other distribution expenses for our shipments of equipment to customers and manufacturing expenses for the production of chemical products; and (c) our general working capital needs, which include payment for staff salary and benefits, payment for office rent and other administrative supplies. Our net cash used in investing activities mainly consists of the investments in computers and other office equipment, investment in purchasing of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and upgrading and enhancing the existing manufacturing facilities for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng.  Before June 30, 2009, we financed our liquidity needs primarily through working capital loans obtained from our shareholders. From the second half of our fiscal year 2010, along with the significant increase of our net income and our efficient management of the collection of the trade receivables and other receivables, we started to generate positive cash flow from our operating activities, 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.

Net cash 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 prepayments to suppliers, after the equipment was shipped and before it was accepted by our customers, the payments were recorded as deferred cost.  Our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, also needs to use a significant portion of its cash for purchasing the raw materials for the production of the chemical products.  For the year ended March 31, 2011, (1) we achieved approximately US$26.5 million in net income (excluding the non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization deferred taxes and share-based compensation expenses); (2) our accounts receivable and notes receivable balance increased by approximately US$7.4 million, of which approximately US$5.6 million has been subsequently collected after the year ended March 31, 2011; (3) during the same period, we spent an additional approximately US$4.9 million as the prepayments to our equipment suppliers for the uncompleted contracts, and to our raw material suppliers for purchasing of raw materials of chemical products, and increased our inventory storage by approximately US$3.1 million, tender deposits balances also increased by approximately US$0.9 million, representing the additional deposit we paid for our contract bids; and (4) the total amount of our advances from customers and deferred revenue balances increased by approximately US$3.6 million as compared with last year, representing the cash received during the year but not yet recognized as revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011.  Therefore, in the aggregate, these transactions resulted in an approximately US$12.9 million net cash inflow for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
 
59

 
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010, (1) we generated approximately US$15.7 million net income (excluding the non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization); (2) with the successful completion of most of the uncompleted projects that were brought forward from the previous period, which caused the balance of the prepayments to suppliers and deferred cost to decrease significantly by approximately US$20.2 million, a corresponding decrease of approximately US$14.2 million in deferred revenue and resulted in an increase of roughly US$6 million in operating cash flow, which represented a reconciliation for the net cost recognized for the previous year’s uncompleted contracts in net income for the year ended March 31, 2010, with the related cash outflow incurred in the previous year, 2010; and (3) the timely collection of our account receivables for both the previous period and the current period, which caused the accounts receivable balance to reduce significantly by approximately US$13 million. Therefore, in the aggregate, these transactions resulted in an approximately US$34.7 million cash inflow for the year ended March 31, 2010.
 
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities:
 
For the year ended March 31, 2011, our net cash used in investing activities mainly included the following transactions: (1) 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; (2) during the year ended March 31, 2011, we spent approximately US$0.62 million for purchasing the oil sludge cleaning equipment and approximately US$0.07 million for other office equipment; our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, spent approximately US$0.50 million to purchase equipment for the upgrading of its current manufacturing facilities and it also spent approximately US$1.26 million as a deposit for land use rights to further upgrade its manufacturing facilities; (3) during the year ended March 31, 2011, we repaid approximately US$4.92 million in third party loans; and (4) we also collected approximately US$3.30 million of a temporary loan we made to a third party.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash outflow from investing activities of approximately US$1.68 million for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010, the approximate US$11.31 million cash inflow generated from investing activities mainly represented: (1) the collection of a temporary loan to a third party in September 2009, which was approximately US$11.6 million; and (2) the approximately US$0.3 million merger cost we paid in connection with the reverse acquisition consummated on February 26, 2010.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities:
 
Our net cash provided by financing activities included the following transactions: (1) the loans we borrowed from or repaid to our shareholders and noncontrolling shareholder of our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng; (2) cash used for the payment of the cash dividends to our convertible preferred stockholders; (3) the decrease or increase of our restricted cash balance, which represents our bank deposits held as collateral for our credit facilities; and (4) proceeds we received from our Private Placement consummated on February 26, 2010.

For the year ended March 31, 2011, (1) we paid approximately US$1.59 million cash for the dividends on our convertible preferred stock; (2) as of March 31, 2011, the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$1.11 million as collateral for issuance of contract performance guarantees to our customers as compared to that of March 31, 2010, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities; (3) we also repaid approximately US$0.83 million to the noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng; (4) Anhui Jucheng repaid approximately US$0.60 million of its short-term bank loans; and (5) we received temporary payments of approximately US$5.9 million made by independent third parties for our short-term RMB financing needs for our tender bidding purposes. We have repaid these third parties after March 31, 2011.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash inflow for financing activities of approximately US$1.75 million for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010, (1) the restricted cash balance increased by approximately US$1.98 million as compared to that of March 31, 2009, which was recorded as a cash outflow of our financing activities; (2) we repaid approximately US$8.38 million loan to our shareholders; (3) we also settled the payable for the software copyright we purchased in December 2008, which amounted to approximately US$5.97 million; and (4) we received approximately US$24.55 million from our Private Placement consummated on February 26, 2010.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a net cash inflow from financing activities of approximately US$8.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2010.
 
As of March 31, 2011, we still owe our shareholders approximately US$8.1 million, which consisted of approximately US$0.7 million due to Mr. Zuo and approximately US$7.4 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.

As of March 31, 2011, we had available banking facilities (“General Facilities”), which consisted of overdraft, guarantee line and import trade finance and facilities for negotiation of export documentary credit discrepant bills against letters of indemnity, up to an aggregate amount of HK$135.3 million (equivalent to approximately US$17.38 million) and EURO 1 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.41 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$110 million (or approximately US$14.13 million) issued by two banks which are in turn guaranteed by SJI Inc. (the holding company of SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a stockholder of our company) and an undertaking from Hua Shen HK to maintain a tangible net worth 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 March 31, 2011, there were outstanding contract performance guarantees of US$3,840,054 issued by the banks on behalf of our company, of which US$2,121,581 were granted under the General Facilities. There was no other borrowing under the General Facilities as of March 31, 2011. 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 and HK$4,800,000 from us and Hong Kong Sponsored Facility, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, 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.

Business Update:
 
In September 2010, we entered into a strategic alliance and signed a two-year distribution agreement with System Kikou Co., Ltd. (“SKK”), located in Tokyo, Japan, one of the world’s 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 resulted in the death of six workers in China. The mandate is that all China’s oil refiners should switch to automated cleaning technology to protect the safety of workers starting on July 1, 2010; SKK is one of the world’s leaders in this cleaning technology.  We estimate the market for cleaning technologies is approximately US$120 million, growing at about 7% per annum. Currently, only less than 20% of Chinese oil refineries use automated cleaning technologies compared to 80%-90% in developed countries.
 
As of March 31, 2011, we have ordered three sets of the cleaning equipment (including one set of the used equipment and two sets of the new equipment) from SKK, of which one set of the used cleaning equipment had arrived in China in March 2011 and the other two sets of the new equipment are expected to arrive by the end of June 2011.  We had also completed the related training programs for operating the imported oil sludge cleaning equipment.  We are currently targeting the development of the oil sludge cleaning market in Northwest China, and we expect that contracts can be signed with the subsidiaries of the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies in Northwest China in July 2011 for these new services.
 
Depending on the market needs, other than providing the cleaning services to the customers directly, we may also rent our equipment to other cleaning companies and/or sell SKK’s equipment as a distribution agent to them directly in the future.
 
C.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2011.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2011, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).  Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
(1)
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
 
(2)
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
 
 
(3)
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.  Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company.
 
 
63

 
 
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2011.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
LianDi Clean Technology Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LianDi Clean Technology Inc.  (“Company”) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
 
Nature of operations
 
LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (formerly known as Remediation Services Inc.) (“LianDi Clean” or the “Company”), is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries, primarily engages in the distribution of clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), the distribution of a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software for the polymerization process and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies. The Company is also engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic 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 to be formed a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. ("Merger Sub") and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub's common stock for cash.  Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remediation.
 
Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into Remediation. As a result of the merger, the Company’s corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.”  Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased.  LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of the Company.

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

NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
 
On January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,” a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited, and of which Mr. Zuo is a director and holds voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd (“Rapid Capital”), respectively.  On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% interest in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively.  On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%) and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%), respectively. As a result, immediately before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held as to 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.
 
Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital are held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of 5% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from the principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services related to facilitating the private placement.
 
Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999.  On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.
 
In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the PRC.
 
Anhui Jucheng was founded on January 28, 2005.  On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin acquired a 51% equity interest in Auhui Jucheng (See Note 2).
 
On December 31, 2010, China LianDi acquired a 100% equity interest in Hongteng Technology Limited together with its wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd., from Mr. Zuo, CEO of the Company (See Note 2).

Reverse Acquisition
 
On February 26, 2010, Remediation consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of Remediation. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of Remediation’s common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, Remediation had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to Remediation all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of Remediation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of Remediation’s shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of Remediation. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to Remediation’s former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
 
As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Remediation to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).  The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results of Remediation being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded as a result of this transaction.

ACQUISITION

(1)
Anhui Jucheng was founded on January 28, 2005 and was wholly owned by a third party individual. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, injected capital of RMB 40.8 million (approximately $6,023,652) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash and as a result, the Company 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. The acquisition of Anhui Jucheng will enable the Company to improve its product structure and diversify its channels of business opportunities in the future.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Significant estimates for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill, and the fair value of share-based payments and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred stock.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.  Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.  As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $16.2 million and $12.4 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC.  The convertibility of RMB into other currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.

Accounts receivable

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

Inventories

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 
Useful Life
Leasehold improvements
5 years
Buildings
30 years
Plant and machinery
10 years
Office equipment
5 years
 
Intangible assets
 
Purchased software and copyrights are initially recorded at costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or estimated useful economic life of 2 to 10 years.
 
Goodwill
 
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year for all reporting units. Goodwill is tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company recognized no impairment loss on goodwill for the year ended March 31, 2011.

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Revenue recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Multiple-deliverable arrangements
 
The Company derives revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for the Company to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
 
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
 
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
 
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.
 
The Company’s multiple-element contracts generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for the Company to carry out installation, test runs and performance tests at the Company’s cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance period”) stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages of the contract value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance specifications cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return, cancellation or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.
 
The delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by the Company in accordance with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, the Company has not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.
 
The Company may also provide its customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for 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.

Revenue recognition -Continued
 
Product only
 
Revenue derived from sales contracts that require delivery of products only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers. Titles to the products pass to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.
 
Software sale
 
The Company recognizes revenue from the delivery of data processing platform software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC Topic 985, Software (formerly Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended), and in accordance with SAB 104. Costs of software revenue include amortization of software copyrights.
 
Service
 
The Company recognizes revenue from provision of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with SAB 104.
 
The Company is subject to business tax of 5% and value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in the PRC, respectively. The Company presents its revenue net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts and returns. There were no product returns for the two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Deferred revenue and costs
 
Deferred revenue represents payments received from customers on equipment delivery and installation contracts prior to customer acceptance.  As revenues are deferred, the related costs of equipment paid to suppliers are also deferred. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as discussed above.
 
Research and development expenses
 
Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Advertising and promotion costs
 
Advertising and promotion costs are charged to expense when incurred.  During the two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, advertising and promotion costs were insignificant.

Shipping and handling cost
 
Shipping and handling costs are charged to expense when incurred.  Shipping and handling costs were included in selling expenses in the statements of income and comprehensive income and amounted to $761,177 and $444,127 for the two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Usually the Company does not charge back customers for these costs.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740.  ASC Topic 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years.  Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
 
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of ASC 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13 which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
 
Comprehensive income
 
FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
Stock based compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expenses as the goods or services are received.

Earnings per share
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. FASB ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilutive effects of convertible securities (using the as-if converted method), and options and warrants and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).
 
All per share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition consummated on February 26, 2010 (see Note 1 for further details), whereby the 27,354,480 shares of common stock issued by Remediation Services, Inc. (nominal acquirer) to the Company’s shareholder (nominal acquiree) are deemed to be the number of shares outstanding for the periods prior to the reverse acquisition. For periods after the reverse acquisition, the number of shares considered to be outstanding is the actual number of shares outstanding during those periods.
 
The following table is a reconciliation of the net income and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

The diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended March 31, 2010 did not include the warrants to purchase up to 2,165,199 shares of common stock, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Commitments and contingencies
 
The Company follows ASC Subtopic 450-20, Loss Contingencies in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
 
Foreign currency
 
The Company has evaluated the determination of its functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
 
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow is the U.S. dollar.
 
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of Beijing JianXin and Anhui Jucheng is Renminbi.
 
On its own, the Company raises finances in the U.S. dollar, pays its own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expects to receive a dividend if and when declared by its subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in U.S. dollars.
 
Therefore, it has been determined that the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
 
The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

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

 
March 31, 2011
      
March 31, 2010
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
US$1=RMB6.5564
 
US$1=RMB6.8263

2011
      
2010
Items in statements of income and cash flows
US$1=RMB6.7111
 
US$1=RMB6.8290
 
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the above rates.
 
The value of RMB against U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.
 
Financial instruments
 
The Company values its financial instruments as required by FASB ASC 320-12-65 (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 April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. This update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company expects that the adoption of the amendments in this update will not have any significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.
 
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 is not expected to 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.
 
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 will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01- Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. This deferral will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02- Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this update provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a trouble debt restructuring For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-02 will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
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.

Balance as of March 31, 2011
  $ 365,528  

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, the Company identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Topic 805,”Business Combinations.”

 (b)           Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of which one series of preferred stock has been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 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.
 
At March 31, 2011, 5,517,970 preferred shares were outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $19,729,591.
 
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.

(b)           Preferred Stock (continued)
 
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 March 31, 2011. Therefore, the Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2011, the Company has not adjusted the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value or recognized any accretion charges as it is considered not probable that the Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable, in accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Guidance on redeemable preferred stock in ASC 480-10-S99.
 
In conjunction with the private placement on February 26, 2010, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors pursuant to which LianDi Energy delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares of common stock to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 net income performance threshold of $20.5 million. The Company has evaluated the terms of this escrow arrangement based on the guidance provided in ASC 718-10S99 and concluded that because the escrow shares would be released to the Company’s principal stockholder or distributed to the investors without regard to the continued employment of any of the Company’s directors or officers, the escrow arrangement is in substance an inducement to facilitate the private placement, rather than compensatory.
 
Because the fiscal 2011 performance threshold has been met, 1,722,311 shares will be released to LianDi Energy, the principal stockholder.  The Company is currently working with the Escrow Agent to facilitate the release of these shares.
 
In accordance to ASC Topic 718 and ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation: Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.  The Company evaluated the substance of this arrangement and whether the presumption of compensation has been overcome. According to the Security Escrow Agreement signed between the Company and its investors, the release of these escrow shares to the principal stockholder was not contingent on continue employment, and this arrangement is in substance an inducement made to facilitate the financing transaction on behalf of the Company, rather than as compensatory.  Therefore, the Company has accounted for the escrowed share arrangement according to its nature, and therefore did not recognize a non-cash compensation charge as a result of the Company satisfying the 2011 performance thresholds.
 
Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and reflected it as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly issued securities in the private placement, based on its at fair value of $4,925,810 as of February 26, 2010.

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

NOTE 20 
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 two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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

OTHER INCOME – VALUE ADDED TAX REFUND
 
Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the PRC government as a software enterprise with its own software copyright. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect of its sales of self-developed software products. The Company recognizes the value added tax refund as revenue only when it has been received and there is no condition to the use of the fund received.
 
NOTE 22 
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 regulation, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The law and regulations became effective from January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.
 
Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng, being established in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise with its own software copyright and is entitled to tax preferential treatment – a tax holiday for two-year EIT exemption for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng are subject to an EIT rate of 25% for 2011.
 
No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither LianDi Clean or China LianDi has any taxable income in the U.S or the British Virgin Islands.
 
The new Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the New Tax Law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to the Company for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and 2010. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 were RMB345,042,882 ($52,626,881)

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 year ended March 31, 2011 was due to the depreciation and amortization of these revalued properties, plant and equipment and the land use right.
 
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any other significant temporary differences and carryforwards that may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities.
 
As of March 31, 2010 and 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 two years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of March 31, 2011 and 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.

CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION
 
Credit risk and concentration of customers
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, accounts receivable, and prepayments and other current assets. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and trading securities were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality.
 
The Company primarily derived its revenue from petroleum, petrochemical and energy companies operating in the PRC and had certain risk of concentration of customers as follows:

·
As of March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 76% and 10% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively.  As of March 31, 2010, two customers individually accounted for 50% and 45% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively.  Except the afore-mentioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011 or 2010.

·
During the year ended March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 35% and 32% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  During the year ended March 31, 2010, two customers individually accounted for 51% and 40% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.  Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
 
Concentration of suppliers
 
The Company sourced industrial valves and other equipment from a few suppliers who individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s costs of revenue:

·
During the year ended March 31, 2011, two suppliers altogether accounted for 53% of the Company’s costs of revenue (33% and 20% individually). During the year ended March 31, 2010, two suppliers altogether accounted for 66% of the Company’s costs of revenue (54% and 12% individually).
 
Risk arising from operations in foreign countries
 
The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted within the PRC. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in the PRC. Among other risks, the Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds, export duties, quotas, and embargoes, domestic and international customs and tariffs, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions and political conditions and governmental regulations.

SEGMENT DATA
 
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance. Reportable operating segments include components of an entity about which separate financial information is available and which operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess each operating segment’s performance. 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.

In addition, the business transactions and assets of Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng are primarily denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. These currency exchange control measures imposed by the PRC government may restrict the ability of Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng to transfer their net assets to the Company through loans, advances or cash dividends.  The net assets of Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng in aggregate exceeded 25% of the Company’s consolidated net assets. Accordingly, condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 5.04 and Rule 12-04 of SEC Regulation S-X.

The Company records its investment in subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.  Such investment and long-term loans to subsidiaries are presented on the balance sheet as “Investments in subsidiaries” and the income of the subsidiaries is presented as “Equity in income of subsidiaries” on the statement of income.
 
These supplemental condensed parent company financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no material contingencies, significant provisions for long-term obligations, or guarantees of the Company, except as separately disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements, if any.
