Management Commentary

Mr. Xianfu Han, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China ACM, commented, “Fiscal Year 2011 was another year of growth and profitability for China ACM. During fiscal 2011, our volumes from our Beijing fixed plants increased as we expanded our customer base in that market. We also experienced increased volumes from our portable plant division that primarily services the build out of China’s high-speed rail network.”

“However, in light of the recent government suspension of new and ongoing high-speed rail projects, our near-term outlook for the manufacturing services division is uncertain. The government is conducting ongoing quality inspections at high-speed rail construction sites across the country, which has resulted in a slowdown in overall construction. As a result, we are focused on managing our cost structure in anticipation of lower volumes from our portable plant network for the foreseeable future.”

Fourth Quarter FY 2011 Results

Revenue. Our revenue is primarily generated from sales of our advanced ready-mix concrete products, manufacturing services and technical consulting services. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we generated revenue of $49.3 million, compared to $30.9 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $18.4 million, or 59%. The increase in our revenue is due primarily to our increased production volumes both in and outside of Beijing for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

  1


Our concrete sales revenue was $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $17.4 million, or 73%. The increase in revenues was principally due to higher average selling prices coupled with higher volumes as a result of a broader client base. The higher volumes were achieved despite the closure of one fixed plant that had become unprofitable and was closed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Revenue from our manufacturing services segment was $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.8 million, or 55%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was attributable principally to the addition of several new portable plants needed to service a growing business pipeline compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our gross profit for the sale of concrete was $8.1 million, or 19.6% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $2.4 million, or 10.4% of revenue, for the same period last year. The increased gross profit margin reflects higher demand and higher prices for our concrete products in Beijing as compared to the same period last year.

Our gross profit with respect to our Manufacturing services segment was $2.7 million, or 33.8% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $2.3 million, or 45.7% of revenue, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was principally the result of an increase in fixed costs due to slowing production rates at plants nearing project completion and increases in transportation costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $7.3 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was principally due to a $6.3 million increase in bad debt expense taken in the quarter, including $2.3 million of direct write-off. In addition, we experienced an increase in employment, occupancy, and professional expenses resulting from a larger base of operations as compared to the prior year's quarter.

Adjusted Net Income available to Common shareholders. Excluding the effect from non-cash charges related to changes in fair market value of warrants, accretion of discount on redeemable preferred stock and share-based compensation, our adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 1% as compared to the same period in 2010. See the attached section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation regarding the presentation of net income excluding non-cash items.

Fiscal Year 2011 Results

Revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, we generated revenue of $137.9 million, compared to $93.0 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $44.9 million, or 48%.

  2


The increase in our revenue is due primarily to our increased production volumes both in and outside of Beijing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Our concrete sales revenue was $109.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $38.7 million, or 55%. The increase in revenues was principally due to higher average selling prices coupled with higher volumes as a result of a broader client base. The higher volumes were achieved despite the closure of one fixed plant that had become unprofitable and was closed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Revenue from our manufacturing services segment was $25.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $10.0 million, or 64%, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was attributable principally to the addition of several new portable plants needed to service a growing business pipeline compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $25.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $19.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Our gross profit for the sale of concrete was $15.5 million, or 14.2% of revenue, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $6.0 million, or 8.4% of revenue, for the same period last year. The increased gross profit margin reflects higher demand and higher prices for our concrete products in Beijing as compared to the same period last year.

Our gross profit with respect to our Manufacturing services segment was $7.5 million, or 29.5% of revenue, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $7.4 million, or 47.2% of revenue, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was principally the result of an increase in fixed costs due to slowing production rates at plants nearing project completion, the addition of several new portable plants before they commenced production and increases in transportation costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $16.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $11.2 million, as compared to $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase was principally due to a $7.4 million increase in bad debt expense, including $2.3 million of direct write-off taken in the year. In addition, we experienced an increase in employment, occupancy, and professional expenses resulting from a larger base of operations as compared to the prior year.

Adjusted Net Income available to Common shareholders. Excluding the effect from non-cash charges related to changes in fair market value of warrants, accretion of discount on redeemable preferred stock and share-based compensation, our adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2%, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted EPS to common shareholders was $0.88 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, down from $0.95 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. See the attached section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation regarding the presentation of net income excluding non-cash items.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company makes reference to Non-GAAP financial measures in portions of “Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Management believes that investors may find it useful to review our financial results that exclude the net non-cash income on option and stock-based compensation along with the change in fair value of warrants liability, shown in the below chart, due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” accounting standard as discussed in the section “Derivative Liability” below.

Management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in that they provide supplemental information to possibly better understand the underlying business trends and operating performance of the Company. The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance. However, Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

(a) The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 815, which provides guidance with respect to determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. As a result of adopting this accounting standard, warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded equity treatment because the warrants have a down-round provision on the exercise price. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these warrants from equity to liability, as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability since their issuance in June 2008. The Company recognized a $1,926,948 credit from the change in fair value for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

(b) The Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to FASB’s accounting standard regarding stock compensation which requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee's requisite service period. Under ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” the Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar entities. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $885,674 and $268,150 of restricted stock as compensation expense. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $0 and $327,738, respectively, as compensation expenses for its stock option plan.
