CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and description of business

China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (“CADC Delaware”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 15, 2007. CADC Delaware, through its 100% owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entities (“VIEs”), is engaged in producing general ready-mix concrete, customized mechanical refining concrete, and other concrete-related products that are mainly sold in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). CADC Delaware has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands, Xin Ao Construction Materials, Inc. (“BVI-ACM”), which is a holding company with no operations. BVI-ACM has a wholly-owned foreign enterprise, Beijing Ao Hang Construction Material Technology Co., Ltd. (“China-ACMH”), and China-ACMH has contractual agreements with an entity which is considered as a VIE.

Beijing XinAo Concrete Group (“Xin Ao”), our VIE, is engaged in the business of consulting, concrete mixing and equipment rental services. Xin Ao has five wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, and with “Xin Ao”, the “VIEs”) in the PRC: (1) Beijing Heng Yuan Zheng Ke Technical Consulting Co., Ltd (“Heng Yuan Zheng Ke”), (2) Beijing Hong Sheng An Construction Materials Co., Ltd (“Hong Sheng An”), (3) Beijing Heng Tai Hong Sheng Construction Materials Co., Ltd (“Heng Tai”), (4) Da Tong Ao Hang Wei Ye Machinery, Equipment Rental Co., Ltd (“Da Tong”) and (5) Luan Xian Heng Xin Technology Co., Ltd (“Heng Xin”).

On August 1, 2013, CADC Delaware consummated a reincorporation merger with its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (“China ACM”), a Nevada corporation, with CADC Delaware merging into China ACM and China ACM being the surviving company, for the purpose of changing CADC Delaware’s state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada. China ACM, BVI-ACM, China-ACMH and VIEs are collectively referred to as the Company.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements include the accounts of all directly, indirectly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities listed below. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 23, 2014.

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the following subsidiaries and VIEs. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIEs. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIEs for financial reporting purposes.

Management makes ongoing assessments of whether China ACM is the primary beneficiary of Xin Ao and its subsidiaries. Based upon a series of contractual arrangements, the Company determined that Xin Ao and its subsidiaries are VIEs subject to consolidation and that China ACM is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of Xin Ao and its subsidiaries are consolidated with those of China ACM.

The carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities are as follows:

    March 31,     June 30,  
    2015     2014  
   Current assets $  119,465,559   $  136,681,518  
   Property, plant and equipment   10,658,494     12,874,414  
   Other noncurrent assets   490,200     487,500  
Total assets   130,614,253     150,043,432  
             
             
   Liabilities   (90,290,879 )   (111,066,630 )
             
   Intercompany payables*   (8,634,798 )   (7,397,342 )
             
Total liabilities   (98,925,677 )   (118,463,972 )
             
Net assets $  31,688,576   $  31,579,460  

* Payables to China - ACMH and BVI-ACM are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements include deferred income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory valuation, deferred stock-based compensation, the fair value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could be materially different from those estimates, upon which the carrying values were based.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of China ACM and BVI-ACM is the U.S. dollar. China-ACMH and its VIEs use their local currency Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency. In accordance with the US GAAP guidance on Foreign Currency Translation, the Company’s results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, were translated at RMB 6.12 to $1.00 and RMB 6.15 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were RMB 6.15 to $1.00 and RMB 6.13 to $1.00, respectively.

7



CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when four criteria are met:

  • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (the Company considers its sales contracts and technical service agreements to be pervasive evidence of an arrangement);

  • Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

  • The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

  • Collectability of payment is reasonably assured.

The Company sells its concrete products and provides concrete technical services primarily to major local construction companies. Sales agreements are signed with each customer. The agreements list all terms and conditions with the exception of delivery date and quantity, which are evidenced separately in purchase orders. The purchase price of products is fixed in the agreement and customers are not permitted to renegotiate after the contracts have been signed. The agreements include a cancellation clause if the Company or customers breach the contract terms specified in the agreement.

The Company recognizes revenue when title and ownership of the goods are transferred upon shipment to the customer or services are provided by the Company.

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s concrete products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese VAT at the rate of 6% of the gross sales price. On July 1, 2014, the standard VAT rate for concrete products decreased to 3% of the gross sales price. Since the Company uses recycled raw materials to manufacture its products, the State Administration of Taxation has granted the Company a VAT exemption through June 2015.

The Company includes the shipping and handling fee in both revenue and cost of revenue.

Financial instruments

The US GAAP accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument;

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Current assets and current liabilities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

The fair value of long-term capital lease obligations approximate their fair value as interest rates approximate the market rate. The Company’s advances on equipment purchases were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and assessed for impairment for the advances on equipment purchases using Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 inputs used were management’s projected cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company currently maintains substantially all of its day-to-day operating cash balances with major financial institutions within PRC and US. As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits totaling approximately $7.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

Restricted cash

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, restricted cash consisted of collateral representing cash deposits for short term loans, bank guarantees and notes payable.

Accounts receivable

During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Accounts are considered past due after 30 days. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the historical experience, the economy, trends in the construction industry, the expected collectability of the amount receivable that is past due and the expected collectability of the overdue receivable. Management reviews its accounts receivable each reporting period to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovering is considered remote. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, approximately $39,000 and $67,000 was written off against the allowance balance, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, approximately $7.5 million and $10.9 million was written off against the allowance balance, respectively.

Other receivables

Other receivables primarily include advances to employees, due from unrelated entities, receivables from an insurance company, VAT tax refunds and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowance when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection are made.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company determined that no reserves for obsolescence were necessary.

Short term investments

The Company has two investment agreements of up to RMB 200 million ($32.4 million) with a financial investment company, entered into in May 2013 and October 2013, respectively, for maximum periods from eighteen months to two years. The Company can redeem the investment at any time within the agreed period upon 30-day notice. The financial investment company invests the Company’s funds in certain financial instruments including bonds, mortgage trust or mutual funds. The rates of return on these investments were guaranteed to be no less than 7% per annum, and investments over RMB 100 million to be no less than 10%. The Company’s investment is not subject to market fluctuation; therefore, the Company did not experience gain or loss on its investment. However, the Company’s funds deposited with the financial investment company are not insured.

Prepayments and advances, and advances on equipment purchases, net

The Company advances monies to certain suppliers for raw materials, plant and equipment, and factory rent. These advances are interest free and unsecured. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a bad debt allowance for advances on equipment purchases for approximately $0.3 million. For each of the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an allowance for advances on equipment purchases for approximately $0.9 million.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the employee's requisite service period. Unrecognized expense is deferred and included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and amortized over the remaining requisite service period. 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. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current and expected dividend policy.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets and is computed using the straight-line method with 5% residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of estimated useful lives or lease terms, as appropriate.

The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

  Useful life
Transportation equipment 7-10 years
Plant and machinery 10 years
Office equipment 5 years
Buildings and improvements 3-20 years

Accounting for long-lived assets

The Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) machinery and equipment; (ii) transportation equipment, (iii) office and equipment; and (iv) buildings and improvements.

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

10



CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The Company uses set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management, and estimates the fair value of the asset or asset group by using discounted cash flow analyses. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, it is required to record impairment charges for the underlying assets at such time. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to the Company’s results of operations.

If the value of an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less disposition costs. There was no impairment charge for three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Competitive pricing pressure and changes in interest rates could materially and adversely affect the Company’s estimates of future net cash flows to be generated by the long-lived assets, and thus could result in future impairment losses.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to use the assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the assets and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forward. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, defines uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position as a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.

United States federal, state and local income tax returns prior to 2011 are not subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

Value Added Tax

Enterprises or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance, or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax. The standard VAT rate is 6% of gross sales for the Company’s industry, which was decreased to 3% of gross sales on July 1, 2014. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of finished products. Since the Company uses recycled raw materials to manufacture its products, the State Administration of Taxation has granted the Company a VAT exemption on such products through June 2015.

Research and development, advertising and repair and maintenance

Research and development, advertising and repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment, and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Research and development costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $100 and $4,000, respectively. Advertising costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $51,000 and $14,000, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $22,000 and $0.1 million, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs for each of the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $0.2 million.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with the US GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options, restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Common stock equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the addition of any contingently issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

ASC 260-10-55 requires that stock dividends or stock splits be accounted for retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the period, or retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it outstanding of the entirety of each period presented. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. Under both current US GAAP requirements and the amendments in this update, a decision maker is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it satisfies both the power and the economics criteria. The primary beneficiary consolidates a VIE because it has a controlling financial interest. Under the requirements in current US GAAP, if a fee arrangement paid to a decision maker, such as an asset management fee, is determined to be a variable interest in a VIE, the decision maker must include the fee arrangement in its primary beneficiary determination and could consolidate the VIE on the basis of power (decision-making authority) and economics (the fee arrangement). However, the amendments in this update specify that some fees paid to a decision maker are excluded from the evaluation of the economics criterion if the fees are both customary and commensurate with the level of effort required for the services provided. Those amendments make it less likely for a decision maker to meet the economics criterion solely on the basis of a fee arrangement. This update is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 – Income taxes

(a) Corporate income tax

China ACM was organized in the United States. China ACM had no taxable income for United States income tax purposes for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, China ACM’s net operating loss carry forward for United States income taxes was approximately $1.2 million. The net operating loss carry forward are available to reduce future years’ taxable income through year 2033. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history and continued losses in the United States. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by approximately $0.1 million. There was no change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments accordingly.

BVI-ACM was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and where its income tax rate is $0 under the current laws of the BVI.

China-ACMH and VIEs-Chinese operations

All of the Company’s income is generated in the PRC, through VIEs. The Company’s VIEs had undistributed earnings of approximately $0.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and cumulative loss of approximately $1.5 million as of June 30, 2014, included in consolidated retained earnings. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings.

China-ACMH and VIEs are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Chinese Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law, the statutory corporate income tax rate applicable to most companies is 25%. In 2009, Xin Ao applied and received an Enterprise High-Tech Certificate. The certificate was awarded based on Xin Ao’s involvement in producing high-tech products, its research and development, as well as its technical services. As granted by the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC, Xin Ao is entitled to a reduction in its income tax rate from 25% to 15% until June 12, 2015.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In accordance with the EIT Law, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions and whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC territory are considered PRC resident enterprises and are subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management” refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, and among other items, overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting, and properties of an enterprise. No detailed interpretation of guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”. Furthermore, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear. If the Company’s non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents, such entities would be subject to PRC tax under the EIT Law. The Company has analyzed the applicability of this law, and for each of the applicable periods presented, the Company has not accrued for PRC tax on such basis. The Company continues to monitor changes in the interpretation and/or guidance of this law.

The EIT Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to reduction based on tax treaties where applicable, for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China. Such dividends were exempted from PRC tax under the previous income tax law and regulations. The Company intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its Chinese operations located in the PRC. As a result, there is no deferred tax expense related to withholding tax on the future repatriation of these earnings.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company believes it is more likely than not that its China operations will be unable to generate sufficient future pre-tax income to fully realize its deferred tax assets. As such, As of March 31, 2015, the Company provided approximately $2.2 million of valuation allowance to the deferred tax assets related to its China operations, all of which was against deferred tax assets – current related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, as management estimates that certain bad debts may not be deductible against future pre-tax income by the Chinese tax authorities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company provided approximately $2.8 million of valuation allowance to the deferred tax assets related to its China operations, of which $2.6 million against deferred tax assets – current related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, and $0.2 million against deferred tax assets – noncurrent related to impairment loss of long-lived assets.

The Company has incurred losses from its U.S. operations during all periods presented. Accordingly, management provided approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million of valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets related to the Company’s U.S. operations as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, since the deferred tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forward in the U.S. might not be utilized.

Note 13 – Reserves and dividends

The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before a foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the Board, after the statutory reserves. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund.

The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. The remaining reserve to fulfill the 50% registered capital requirement amounted to approximately $2.1 million as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to the Company’s shareholders. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation. The surplus reserve fund can however be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

The Chinese government restricts distributions of registered capital and the additional investment amounts required by foreign invested enterprises. Approval by the Chinese government must be obtained before distributions of these amounts can be returned to the shareholders.

Note 14 – Employee post-retirement benefits

The Company offers a defined contribution plan to eligible employees which consists of two parts: (i) the first part, paid by the Company, and is 20% of the employee’s actual salary from the prior year and (ii) the second part, paid by the employee, and is 8% of the employee’s actual salary. The Company’s contributions of employment benefits were approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s contributions of employment benefits were approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

On November 21, 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective as of such date. Under the ESPP, the Board may grant or provide for the grant of rights to eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock by payroll deduction or cash contribution.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock, that may be issued under the ESPP is 280,000 shares initially plus an annual increase in the number of shares on July 1 of each year, commencing on July 1, 2014 and ending on July 1, 2023, equal to one percent of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on each such date, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company, under which circumstances, the class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock subject to outstanding rights, may also be adjusted by the Board or the Committee, as defined below.

The ESPP will be administered by the Board unless and until Board delegates administration to a committee composed of two or more non-employee directors.

Any employee of the Company or any parent (if any) and subsidiary corporation of the Company (the “Affiliate”), who is not a natural person resident in the United States, who has been in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for such continuous period as required by the Board preceding the grant of rights under the ESPP is eligible to participate in the ESPP during the applicable offering period, subject to administrative rules established by the Board.

The ESPP is implemented by sequential offerings, the commencement and duration of which will be determined by the Board. The purchase price at which each share of common stock may be acquired in an offering period upon the exercise of all or any portion of a purchase right will be established by the Board. However, the purchase price on each purchase date will not be less than the greater of the book value or the fair market value of a share of the Common Stock on the purchase date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries BVI-ACM and China-ACMH, and our variable interest entities, Xin Ao and its subsidiaries. We engage in the production and supply of advanced construction materials for large scale commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments, and are primarily focused on producing and supplying a wide range of advanced ready-mix concrete materials for highly technical, large scale, and environmentally-friendly construction projects.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we supplied materials and provided services to our projects through our network of ready-mixed concrete plants throughout Beijing (two as of March 31, 2015).

Our management believes that we have the ability to capture a greater share of the Beijing market via expanding relationships and networking, signing new contracts, and continually developing market-leading innovative and eco-friendly ready-mix concrete products.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

We believe that the following factors will continue to affect our financial performance:

-

Large Scale Contractor Relationships. We have contracts with major construction contractors which are constructing key infrastructure, commercial and residential projects. Our sales efforts focus on large-scale projects and large customers which place large recurring orders and present less credit risk to us. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, one customer accounted for approximately 21.8% of our sales and 5.8% of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015. Should we lose any large scale customers in the future and are unable to obtain additional customers, our revenues will suffer.

   
-

Experienced Management. Management’s technical knowledge and business relationships give us the ability to secure major infrastructure projects, which provides us with leverage to acquire less sophisticated operators, increase production volumes, and implement quality standards and environmentally sensitive policies. If there were to be any significant turnover in our senior management, it could deplete the institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team.

   
-

Innovation Efforts. We strive to produce the most technically and scientifically advanced products for our customers and maintain close relationships with Tsinghua University, Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology and Beijing Dongfang Jianyu Institute of Concrete Science & Technology. We entered technical service contracts with these research institutes to further improve our production and products. If our research and development efforts are not sufficient to adapt to the change in technology in the industry, our products may not compete effectively.

   
-

Competition. Our competition includes a number of state-owned and large private PRC-based manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell products similar to ours. We compete primarily on the basis of quality, technological innovation and price. Essentially, all of the contracts on which we bid are awarded through a competitive bid process, with award contracts often being made awarded to the lowest bidder, though other factors such as shorter schedules or prior experience with the customer are often just as important. Within our markets, we compete with many national, regional and local state-owned and private construction entities some of which have achieved greater market penetration or have greater financial and other resources than us. In addition, there are a number of larger national companies in our industry that could potentially establish a presence in our markets and compete with us for contracts. If we are unable to compete successfully in our markets, our relative market share and profits could be reduced.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, in US dollars:

    Three months ended

Income (loss) before provision for income taxes   1,357,497     (3,672,818 )   5,030,315     (137)%  
Provision for income taxes   (380,071 )   (1,372,068 )   991,997     (72)%  
Net income (loss) $  977,426   $  (5,044,886 ) $  6,022,312     (119)%  

Revenue. Our revenue is primarily generated from sales of our advanced ready-mix concrete products. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated total revenue of approximately $5.1 million, as compared to approximately $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $1.9 million, or 27%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased volume in the current quarter caused by delays in some of our customers’ production activities. Such unexpected delays were caused by prolonged bureaucratic procedures for our customers to obtain construction permits as the Beijing government strengthened regulations in the construction industry as part of the environmental protection efforts to improve air quality in the urban area.

Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue, which consists of direct labor, rentals, depreciation, other overhead and raw materials, including inbound freight charges, was approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million, or 25%. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to the decrease in production from our concrete plants in the Beijing area compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross Loss. Total gross loss was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared with the same period last year, was primarily caused by the decreased production volume while we were subject to relatively similar level of fixed costs.

Recovery of (Provision for) Doubtful Accounts. We had recovery of doubtful accounts of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015; while we incurred $0.3 million of provision for doubtful accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In accordance with our allowance for doubtful accounts policy, at the end of each quarter, we conduct an aging analysis of each customer’s arrears to determine whether the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider the historical experience, the economy, trends in the construction industry, expected collectability of amounts receivable that are past due and the expected collectability of overdue receivables. An estimate of doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. After reviewing individual balances, we provide a provision of 15% for accounts receivable past due more than 180 days but less than one year, 60% for accounts receivable past due from one to two years, 75% for accounts receivable past due from two to three years, 100% for accounts receivable past due beyond three years, plus additional amount as necessary. As compared to the balances of December 31, 2014, through the improved collection efforts and agreements to offset customer receivables with vendor payables, we effectively reduced balances aged from one to two years by approximately $2.0 million, balances aged from two years to three years by approximately $2.1 million and balances aged beyond three years by approximately $2.2 million.

As of March 31, 2015, our accounts and notes receivable aging are as follows:

    Balance     1-90     91-180     181-360     361-720     over 720     Over 1,080

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and marketing costs, office rent and expenses, costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, and professional fees paid to third parties. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease of $0.3 million was mainly due to decreases of approximately $0.1 million in business development expenses, $0.1 million in consulting expense, $0.1 million in board expense and $0.1 million in conference expense, offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in stock-based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s research and development expenditure was maintained at a certain percentage of revenue and adjusted by outside consultants on certain projects based on economic outlook, plus discretionary spending on projects that helped to improve our competitive advantage.

Income (loss) from Operations. We recognized income from operations of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to a loss from operations of approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Such change of approximately $5.8 million from loss to income was primarily due to an approximately $5.0 million change from provision of doubtful accounts to recovery of doubtful accounts, a $0.3 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expense and a $0.2 million increase in research and development expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Our other income (expense) consists of valued added tax exemption from the PRC government, interest income (expense), and other non-operating income (expense). We recorded net other expense of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to net other income $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Due to the fact that we use recycled raw materials to manufacture our products, the State Administration of Taxation granted us a VAT tax exemption through June 2015. The VAT tax collected during the aforementioned period from our customers had been retained by the Company and recorded as other subsidy income. Approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million of subsidy income was recorded for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We also recorded $0.4 million and $0.8 million interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Decrease in interest expense was a result of decreased average borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes. We incurred provision for income taxes of approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have used recycled raw materials in our concrete production since our inception, which has entitled us to an income tax rate reduction from 25% to 15% through June 12, 2015, as granted by the State Administration of Taxation, PRC. Since January 1, 2009, we have been subject to a 15% income tax rate. In the past, Xin Ao has paid the corporate income tax on behalf of China-ACMH, and there could be a potential liability for additional taxes for China-ACMH, though at present the Company is unable to determine the extent of such liability, if any.

Net Income (Loss). We recognized net income of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and net loss of approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Such change of approximately $6.0 million from net loss to net income was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.

Revenue. Our revenue is primarily generated from sales of our advanced ready-mix concrete products. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we generated total revenue of approximately $44.0 million, as compared to approximately $29.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $15.0 million, or 52%. The increase in revenue was principally due to the commencement of operation of our manufacturing plant in the eastern suburban area of Beijing in early 2014. The increase in concrete sales was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in sales from manufacturing service, as well as the aforementioned slow-down in the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue, which consists of direct labor, rentals, depreciation, other overhead and raw materials, including inbound freight charges, was approximately $40.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $26.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $14.2 million, or 54%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to the increase in production from our concrete plants during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit was approximately $3.3 million, or 8% of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $2.6 million, or 9% of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $0.7 million. The increase in gross profit for concrete sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, as compared with the same period last year, was primarily due to increased production volume, partially offset by increased material prices.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. We had recovery of doubtful accounts of approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015; while we incurred $8.4 million of provision for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. In accordance with our allowance for doubtful accounts policy, at the end of each quarter, we conduct an aging analysis of each customer’s arrears to determine whether the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider the historical experience, the economy, trends in the construction industry, expected collectability of amounts receivable that are past due and the expected collectability of overdue receivables. An estimate of doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. After reviewing individual balances, we provide a provision of 15% for accounts receivable past due more than 180 days but less than one year, 60% for accounts receivable past due from one to two years, 75% for accounts receivable past due beyond two years, 100% for accounts receivable past due beyond three years, plus additional amount as necessary. As compared to the balances of June 30, 2014, through the improved collection efforts and agreements to offset customer receivables with vendor payables, we effectively reduced balances aged from one to two years by approximately $11.1 million and balances aged beyond two years by approximately $1.6 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and marketing costs, office rent and expenses, costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, and professional fees paid to third parties. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $8.3 million and $8.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We incurred approximately $0.4 million of stock-based compensation for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, which was offset by decreases of $0.5 million in consulting expense, $0.2 million in business development expenses, and $0.2 million in conference expense as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s research and development expenditure was maintained at a certain percentage of revenue and adjusted by outside consultants on certain projects based on economic outlook, plus discretionary spending on projects that helped to improve our competitive advantage.

Loss Realized from Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred approximately $0.1 million and $1.7 million of loss realized from disposal of property, plant and equipment, respectively. We disposed certain vehicles at loss during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Loss from Operations. We incurred loss from operations of approximately $1.8 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Such decrease of approximately $15.3 million in loss from operations was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in gross profit, a $12.7 million change from provision of doubtful accounts to recovery of doubtful accounts, a $0.4 million decrease in selling, general and administration expenses and a $1.6 million decrease in loss realized from disposal of property, plant and equipment, which was offset by a $0.2 million increase in research and development expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Our other income (expense) consists of valued added tax exemption from the PRC government, interest income (expense), and other non-operating income (expense). We recognized net other income of approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Due to the fact that we use recycled raw materials to manufacture our products, the State Administration of Taxation granted us a VAT tax exemption through June 2015. The VAT tax collected during the aforementioned period from our customers had been retained by the Company and recorded as other subsidy income. Approximately $1.3 million and $1.7 million of subsidy income was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We also recorded $1.2 million and $2.0 million interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Decrease in interest expense was a result of decreased average borrowings.

28


Provision for Income Taxes. We incurred provision for income taxes of approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have used recycled raw materials in our concrete production since our inception, which has entitled us to an income tax rate reduction from 25% to 15% through June 12, 2015, as granted by the State Administration of Taxation, PRC. Since January 1, 2009, we have been subject to a 15% income tax rate. In the past, Xin Ao has paid the corporate income tax on behalf of China-ACMH, and there could be a potential liability for additional taxes for China-ACMH, though at present the Company is unable to determine the extent of such liability, if any.

Net Loss. We incurred net loss of approximately $1.8 million and $16.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Such decrease in net loss of approximately $14.7 million was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.4 million and restricted cash of approximately $11.2 million, which was held by subsidiaries and VIEs outside the U.S in its entirety. We would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes if we were to repatriate these funds. Any company which is registered in mainland China must apply to the State Foreign Exchange Administration for approval in order to remit foreign currency to any foreign country. We currently do not intend to repatriate to the U.S. the cash and short-term investments held by our foreign subsidiaries. However, if we were to repatriate funds to the U.S., we would assess the feasibility and plan any transfer in accordance with foreign exchange regulations, taking into account tax consequences. As we conduct all of our operations in China, the inability to convert cash and short-term investments held in RMB to other currencies should not affect our liquidity. As of March 31, 2015, we had working capital of approximately $28.9 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents along with our working capital will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

The following table provides summary information about our net cash flow for financial statement periods presented in this report:

    For the nine months ended  
    March 31,  
    2015     2014  
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $  (13,693,518 ) $  13,367,285  
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   9,098,828     (21,007,367 )
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities   (3,485,142 )   9,792,150  
Effect of foreign currency translation on cash and cash equivalents   71,892     6,436  
Net change in cash $  (8,007,940 ) $  2,158,504  

Principal demands for liquidity are for acquisition of concrete mixture stations, purchases of concrete mixers and pump trucks, working capital and general corporate purposes assuming the economy improves.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $13.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, which was primarily attributable to the net loss adjusted to reconcile to net cash used in operating activities of $3.7 million, primarily including adjustments for $1.6 million of depreciation, $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million in deferred tax provision and $4.3 million of recovery doubtful accounts. Net cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $10.0 million, which mainly included cash outflow for prepayments and advances of $13.4 million and cash payment of accounts payable of $7.2 million, which was offset by $8.3 million decrease of accounts receivable from collection and a $2.8 million collection of other receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $13.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily attributable to the net loss adjusted to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.4 million, including adjustments for $1.4 million of depreciation, $1.4 million of deferred tax provision, $8.4 million of provision for doubtful accounts and $1.7 million of loss realized from disposal of property, plant and equipment. Net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash inflow of approximately $17.8 million, which mainly included cash $13.1 million from collection of accounts and notes receivable, a $1.9 million collection of other receivable and a $13.1 million collection of other receivable from termination of lease, offset by outflow for prepayments and advances of $2.5 million, cash payments for accounts payable $7.3 million and cash outflow related to customer deposits of $0.7 million.

We aim at making improvements in our cash inflows from operating activities stemming from anticipated increases in construction industry activities in Beijing, combined with winning more favorable terms with our suppliers and customers which will be offset by greater working capital needs for our expanding operations.

29


Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $9.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, which was primarily attributable to $9.1 million net redemption of short term investments. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $21.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, and was attributable to $21.1 million net acquisition of short term investments.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, which was primarily attributable to $60.8 million for repayments of bank loans and bank guarantees, $13.3 million for repayments of other short term loans, $26.9 million for repayments of notes payable and $1.3 million for repayments of capital lease obligations, which was offset by $39.7 million cash proceeds from bank loans and bank guarantees, $16.5 million proceeds from other short term loans, $39.0 million proceeds from notes payable, $2.3 million decrease in restricted cash and $1.2 million proceeds from issuance of common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $9.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, which was primarily attributable to $61.9 million cash proceeds from bank loans and bank guarantees, $2.9 million proceeds from short term loan – shareholders, $11.4 million proceeds from other short term loans and $13.0 million proceeds from notes payable, which was offset by $63.4 million for repayments of bank loans and bank guarantees, $2.9 million for repayments of short term loan – shareholders, $3.9 million for repayments of other short term loans, $3.3 million for repayments of notes payable, $1.8 million for repayments of capital lease obligations and an increase in restricted cash of approximately $4.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.4 million as compared to approximately $15.4 million as of June 30, 2014. We believe that our cash and revenues from ongoing operations, in addition to closely managing our accounts payable and accounts receivable and the ability to obtain loan financing, is sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements for all of our ongoing operations. However, we may need to raise additional capital if we undertake any plan for expansion.

Loan Facilities

We had a total of approximately $40.0 million and $57.6 million outstanding on loans and credit facilities as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. See Note 8 in Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Our operations are primarily located in northeastern China, which is extremely cold during the winter months. During such time, we are able to manufacture our advanced ready-mix concrete materials, however many construction projects operate on an abbreviated work schedule, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China ACM and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BVIACM, China-ACMH, its variable interest entity Xin Ao and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, variable interest entities, or VIEs, are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. In connection with the adoption of this ASC810, the Company concludes that Xin Ao is a VIE and China ACM is the primary beneficiary. The financial statements of Xin Ao are then consolidated with China ACM’s financial statements.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

30


Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements include deferred income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory valuation, the fair value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could be materially different from those estimates, upon which the carrying values were based.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when four criteria are met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (the Company considers its sales contracts and technical service agreements to be pervasive evidence of an arrangement);
   
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
   
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
   
Collectability of payment is reasonably assured.

The Company sells its concrete products and provides concrete technical services primarily to major local construction companies. Sales agreements are signed with each customer. The agreements list all terms and conditions with the exception of delivery date and quantity, which are evidenced separately in purchase orders. The purchase price of products is fixed in the agreement and customers are not permitted to renegotiate after the contracts have been signed. The agreements include a cancellation clause if the Company or customers breach the contract terms specified in the agreement.

The Company recognizes revenue when title and ownership of the goods are transferred upon shipment to the customer or services are provided by the Company.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s concrete products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese VAT at the rate of 6% of the gross sales price. On July 1, 2014, the VAT rate for concrete products decreased to 3% of the gross sales price.

The Company includes the shipping and handling fee in both revenue and cost of revenue.

Financial instruments

The US GAAP accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument;

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

Cash, restricted cash, investments, accounts receivable, other assets, short term loans, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and current capital lease obligations qualify as financial instruments, and their carrying amounts are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

31


The fair value of long-term capital lease obligations approximate their fair value as interest rates approximate the market rate. The Company’s advances on equipment purchases were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and assessed for impairment for the advances on equipment purchases using Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 inputs used were management’s projected cash flows.

Accounts receivable

During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Accounts are considered past due after 30 days. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the historical experience, the economy, trends in the construction industry, the expected collectability of the amount receivable that is past due and the expected collectability of the overdue receivable. Management reviews its accounts receivable each reporting period to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovering is considered remote.

Accounting for long-lived assets

We classify our long-lived assets into: (i) machinery and equipment; (ii) transportation equipment, (iii) office and equipment; and (iv) buildings and improvements.

Long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, we first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

We make various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. We use set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management, and estimates the fair value of the asset or asset group by using discounted cash flow analyses. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, there may be a requirement to record impairment charges for the underlying assets at such time. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to our results of operations.

If the value of an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less disposition costs. No impairment charge was recorded for each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Income taxes

We accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires us to use the assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the assets and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forward. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, defines uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position as a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.

32


United States federal, state and local income tax returns prior to 2011 are not subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting standards and pronouncements.

Interest Rate Risk

At times when we have short-term loans outstanding, we are exposed to interest rate risk due primarily to our short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. The interest rates are approximately 6.0% for Renminbi bank loans with a term of twelve months or less.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its cash in bank and fixed deposits, and accounts receivable. The credit risk on cash in bank and fixed deposits is limited because the counterparties are recognized financial institutions. However, the Company’s cash in bank deposited in the financial institutions in the PRC is not insured. Accounts and note receivable and other receivables are subjected to credit evaluations. An allowance has been made for estimated unrecoverable amounts which have been determined by reference to past default experience and the current economic environment.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The Renminbi does not fluctuate with the U.S. Dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Because substantially all of our earnings and cash assets are denominated in Renminbi, but our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Renminbi will affect our balance sheet and our earnings per share in U.S. dollars. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue in the future that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currencies.

Most of the transactions of the Company are settled in Renminbi and U.S. dollars. In the opinion of the directors, the Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of raw materials and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Each of our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015, due to the ineffective internal controls over financial reporting that stemmed from the fact that we do not have any full-time accounting personnel who have U.S. GAAP experience.

In an effort to remedy this material weakness in the future, we intend to:

  • Develop a comprehensive training and development plan, for our finance, accounting and internal audit personnel, including our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Financial Manager, and others, in the principles and rules of U.S. GAAP, SEC reporting requirements and the application thereof.

  • Design and implement a program to provide ongoing company-wide training regarding the Company’s internal controls, with particular emphasis on our finance and accounting staff.

  • Implement an internal review process over financial reporting to review all recent accounting pronouncements and to verify that the accounting treatment identified in such report have been fully implemented and confirmed by our internal control department. In the future, we will continue to improve our ongoing review and supervision of our internal control over financial reporting.

  • Hire an individual that possesses the requisite U.S. GAAP experience and education.

Despite the material weakness reported above, our management believes that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented due to the fact that we have retained a consultant who has U.S. GAAP experience to assist us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We rely on contractual arrangements with our VIEs for our operations, which may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership and a newly released draft legislation may hinder the operation of our VIEs.

Our operations and financial results are dependent on our VIEs, Xin Ao and its subsidiaries, in which we have no equity ownership interest and must rely on contractual arrangements to control and operate the businesses of our VIEs. These contractual arrangements are not as effective in providing control over the VIEs as direct ownership. For example, the VIEs may be unwilling or unable to perform their contractual obligations under our commercial agreements. Consequently, we would not be able to conduct our operations in the manner currently planned. In addition, the VIE may seek to renew its agreements on terms that are disadvantageous to us. Although we have entered into a series of agreements that provide us with substantial ability to control the VIEs, we may not succeed in enforcing our rights under them insofar as our contractual rights and legal remedies under PRC law are inadequate. In addition, if we are unable to renew these agreements on favorable terms when these agreements expire or enter into similar agreements with other parties, our business may not be able to operate or expand, and our operating expenses may significantly increase.

In January 2015, the PRC Ministry of Commerce unveiled a draft legislation that could change how the government is regulating corporate structures, especially for VIEs controlled by foreign investments. Instead of looking at “ownership”, the draft law focused on the entities or individuals hold control of a VIE. If a VIE is deemed to be controlled by foreign investors, it may be barred from operating in restricted sectors or the prohibited sectors listed on a “negative list”, where only companies controlled by Chinese nationals could operate, even if structured as VIEs.

In the event that the draft law is implemented in any form, and that the Company’s business is characterized as one of the “restricted” or “prohibited” sectors, the VIEs the Company currently maintains contractual arrangements with may be barred from operation which will materially adversely affect our business.
