Nature of
operations
|
China
Infrastructure Construction Corporation (“China Infrastructure”), formerly
Fidelity Aviation Corporation, was organized on February 28, 2003 as Fidelity
Aircraft Partners LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Fidelity LLC”). On
December 16, 2004, Fidelity LLC converted itself into Fidelity Aviation
Corporation by filing a Statement of Conversion and Articles of Incorporation
with the Colorado Secretary of State. Fidelity was formed to purchase large
commercial (transport category) jet airframes, salvage the usable aircraft parts
and components from them and sell the parts and components. The Board of
Directors evaluated the future market for aircraft parts business and resolved
not to pursue this line of business anymore.
On
October 8, 2008, China Infrastructure entered into and consummated the
transactions contemplated under a Share Exchange Agreement with Northern
Construction Holdings, Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company (“NCH”) and its
shareholder pursuant to which China Infrastructure issued 1,200,000 (12,000,000
pre-reverse split) shares of China Infrastructure common stock (the “Share
Exchange”) in exchange for all issued and outstanding common stock of
NCH.
The Share
Exchange resulted in (i) a change in control of China Infrastructure with the
shareholder of NCH owning approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of China Infrastructure, (ii) NCH becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of China Infrastructure, and (iii) appointment of certain nominees of
the shareholder of NCH as directors and officers of China Infrastructure and
resignation of John Schoenauer as director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of China
Infrastructure.
As a
result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing Fortune Capital Management Co.,
Ltd. (“BFCM”), a 95% owned subsidiary of NCH, became our indirect majority-owned
subsidiary. Also as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing
Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd., (“Beijing Concrete”), the operating
company, and a 99.5% owned subsidiary of BFCM, also became our
indirect majority-owned subsidiary.
For
accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a capital
transaction where the acquiring corporation issued stock for the net monetary
assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The
accounting is similar in form to a reverse acquisition, except that goodwill or
other intangibles are not recorded. All references to NCH common stock have
been restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of China Infrastructure common
shares.
F-4
On
January 15, 2010, Beijing Concrete increased its registered capital from RMB 15
million (approximately $2.2 million) to RMB 30 million (approximately $4.4
million) and BFCM increased its investment in Beijing Concrete accordingly. Its
share capital increased from RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to RMB
15 million (approximately $2.2 million). As a result, BFCM owns 99.67% of
Beijing Concrete from January 15, 2010.
On
February 1, 2010, Beijing Concrete formed a subsidiary, Shanxi Hongruida
Concrete Ltd. (“Hongruida”) and contributed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47
million) to its capital. Beijing Concrete is the sole shareholder of Hongruida.
Hongruida was organized to implement the 10-year strategic cooperative agreement
with one of the Company’s major clients, China Railway Construction Group Co.,
Ltd (“CRCG”). Under the Agreement, the Company and CRCG will jointly manage the
concrete mixing stations to be operated by Hongruida. CRCG will provide the
cement for manufacturing the concrete mix in such concrete mixing stations, and
will be able to purchase the concrete mix at discounted prices. Also, in
accordance with the Agreement, each party will lease certain equipment to the
concrete mixing stations. The Company and CRCG will share 75% and 25% of
the annual profits of such concrete mixing stations in Xi’an. Hongruida
commenced its operations at the end of March 2010.
When we
refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to
the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business
and financial information of NCH on a consolidated basis unless the context
suggests otherwise.
The
Company through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China
(“PRC” or “China”), engages in the production of ready-mixed concrete for
developers and the construction industry in the PRC. In addition, we have a
technical service agreement with an independently owned concrete mixture
station, pursuant to which we are paid by percentages of sales for technical
support provided.

Basis of
Presentation
|
The
accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This
basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which
were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant
financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All
necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in
accordance with US GAAP. Operating results for the six-month period ended
November 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company’s annual report for the year ended May 31,
2010.

Summary of
Significant Accounting
Policies
|
Economic and Political
Risks
The
Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary
operations and marketing in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC
could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.
Control by Principal
Stockholders
The
directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties own,
beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the
registered capital of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive
officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have
the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including
increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution,
merger or sale of the Company’s assets.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China
Infrastructure and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have fiscal year ends of May
31 and the results are consolidated up to that date. Noncontrolling interests
consist of other stockholders’ ownership interests in majority-owned
subsidiaries of the Company.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
F-6
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes
cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. Deposits held in financial
institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or
agency.
Restricted
Cash
In
accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (note 12)
signed by China Infrastructure Construction Corporation, Trillion Growth China
General Partner and Anslow & Jaclin, LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) in
October 2009, the Company was required to keep with the Escrow Agent $120,000
immediately on the Closing Date of the Subscription Agreement. This fund can
only be disbursed when certain criteria are met. The escrow account also keeps
$38,089 of attorney fees as a covenant for future services. As of November 30,
2010 and May 31, 2010, the amount not disbursed was $69,409 and $146,089,
respectively, and these are included in restricted cash in the consolidated
balance sheets. Deposits held in the escrow account are not insured by any
government entity or agency.
Trade Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of
business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and
actively pursuing past due accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recognized
and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible
amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based
on management’s regular assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables,
payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic
environment. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on
collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material.
Management reviews and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that
reflects management’s best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade
receivables. Certain accounts receivable amounts are charged off against
allowances after a designated period of collection efforts. Subsequent cash
recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur. Allowance for
doubtful debts amounted to $407,619 and $397,042 as of November 30, 2010 and May
31, 2010, respectively.
F-7
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net
realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.
Inventories consist of the following:

Property and
Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of
the assets. Major renewals are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and
repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to
expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
income. Depreciation related to property and equipment is reported in cost of
revenues. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived and
Intangible Assets
Long-lived
assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value
has become impaired according to the guidelines established in FASB Codification
(ASC) 360. The Company
considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future
projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the
periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of November 30, 2010, the Company
expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was
recorded in the periods reported.

Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income
Accumulated

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of
concrete pumping services and consulting services. The Company's revenue
recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers
or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is
fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant
obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our
sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance
for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or
incentive given to customers. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue.
Our
products delivered to customers are checked on site by customers and, once the
products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice. There
is no warranty issue after the delivery.
Reward or
incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our
products; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of
revenue when recognized in our income statement.
The
Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The
Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced
value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the
national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if
the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The
Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been
reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.
Cost of Goods
Sold
Cost of
goods sold consists primarily of the costs of the raw materials, freight
charges, direct labor, depreciation of plant and machinery, warehousing cost and
overhead associated with the manufacturing process and commission
expenses.
F-9
Shipping Income and
Expense
ASC
605-45-20 “Shipping and Handling Costs” establishes standards for the
classification of shipping and handling costs. All amounts billed to a customer
related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
charged to operations were $0 for the six months ended November 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively. Advertising costs, if any, are included in selling, general
and administrative expense on the income statement.
Foreign Currency and
Comprehensive Income
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in US dollars. The functional
currency of the Company is U.S. Dollars and that of Beijing Concrete is the
Renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into US
dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and
weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are
translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions
occurred.
On July
21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed
RMB/USD exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s
government. We use the Closing Rate Method in currency translation of the
financial statements of the Company.
RMB is
not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange
transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no
guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US
dollars at rates used in translation.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes.”) Under the asset and liability method as required
by ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109), 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 the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under ASC
740, 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.
F-10
ASC 740
(formerly FIN 48) clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax
positions and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition.
Under ASC
740, evaluation of a tax position is 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 likely 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.
The
Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United
States, Hong Kong, and the PRC jurisdictions. Significant estimates and
judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for
income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing
tax laws or regulations, and as a result the ultimate amount of tax liability
may be uncertain. However, the Company does not anticipate any events that
would lead to changes to these uncertainties.
USA
The
Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on
income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdiction in which they operate.
As the Group has no income generated in the United States, there was no tax
expense or tax liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of the United
States as of November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010.
F-11
Hong
Kong
As the
Group has no income generated in Hong Kong, there was no tax expense or tax
liability due to the tax rule of Hong Kong as of November 30, 2010 and May 31,
2010.
PRC
Under the
Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to
an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory
financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
Beijing
Concrete is subject to a special tax exemption approved by the PRC tax
department. The exemption of income tax to the Company will last until
December 31, 2010, and from year 2011, the Company will be subject to an income
tax at a standard rate of 25%.
BFCM has
an accumulated operating loss, thus there is no income tax expense for BFCM. The
Company has not recorded deferred taxes, as valuation allowances were provided
because all significant differences in tax basis and financial statement amounts
are permanent differences.

Restrictions on Transfer of
Assets Out of the PRC
Dividend
payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC.
No dividends may be paid by the Company without first receiving prior approval
from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. However, no such
restrictions exist with respect to loans and advances.
Financial
Instruments
ASC 825
(formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”)
defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of those
instruments. ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), adopted
July 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy
for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements
for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for
current receivables and payables, including short-term loans, qualify as
financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the
short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected
realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to
rates currently available. The three levels 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 assets or
liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term
of the financial
instruments.
|
|
¨
|
Level 3: inputs to the valuation
methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair
value.
|
The
Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be
presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820
(formerly SFAS 157).
F-13
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC 718 (formerly
SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment.”) The Company uses the Black-Scholes option
pricing model which requires the input of highly complex and subjective
variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s
expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the
expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can
materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options,
it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not
provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock
options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in
accordance with ASC 718 using an option pricing model, that value may not
be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller
market transaction.
Stock-based
compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, and there
were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing
options. ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at
the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Earnings
Per Share
The
Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260
(formerly SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share.") ASC 260 requires
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the
disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. 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.
The
following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per
share:

Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with FASB ASC 230, cash flows from the Company's operations is
calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to
assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not
necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance
sheet.
Segment
Reporting
ASC 280
“Segment reporting” (formerly SFAS 131) requires use of the management approach
model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a
company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products
and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other
manner in which management disaggregates a company.
Since
management does not disaggregate Company data, the Company has determined that
only one segment exists.
F-15
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for
determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended
standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a
variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and
require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary.
We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our
consolidated financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends
ASC Topic 820, Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the
measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that
in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the
identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar
liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If
these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation
technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. We do not expect it
to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue
Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This
update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how
the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be
allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling
price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling
price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective
evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective
evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific
or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this
guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted.
Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC
update on the Company’s financial statements.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, “Subsequent
Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements,” or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement
that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date
through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must
still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however,
the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC
guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted
in February 2010.
F-16
In July
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amend
“Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional
information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s risk
exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The
disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures
about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The
amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures
for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an
entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending
after initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-20
to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
The
Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Updates up through
2010-29.

cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, denominated in the U.S.
dollar. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect
the cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position of the

Contingencies
The
Company has not, historically, carried any property or casualty insurance. No
amounts have been accrued for any liability that could arise from the lack of
insurance. Management feels the chances of such an obligation arising are
remote.
Deposits
in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are
consequently exposed to risk of loss. Management believes the probability of a
bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.

Results
of Operations
Three
months ended November 30, 2010 Compared to Three months ended November 30,
2009
Net
Revenue
Net
Revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $25,930,120 as compared
to $19,155,132 for the same period last year, an increase of $6,774,988, or
approximately 35.37%. The increase in net revenue is mainly attributable to our
geographic expansion. We had set up new factories in Xi’an and Shidu in 2010.
The sales volume of concrete products increased by approximately 31.31% for the
three months ended November 30, 2010, as compared to the same period last
year. The increase in net revenue is also attributable to technical
services we provided to a Tianjin concrete producer since late March 2010, which
is a new addition to our main business. These services generated
approximately $0.47 million in our net revenue for the three months ended
November 30, 2010.
Costs of Goods
Sold
Cost of
goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $18,703,068 as
compared to $14,655,122 for the same period last year, an increase of $4,047,946
or approximately 27.62%. The increase in cost of goods sold is mainly because of
our increased sales volume.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $7,227,052, an increase
of $2,727,042 or approximately 60.60%, as compared to $4,500,010 for the same
period last year. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase
of sales due to geographic development of our business, our business expansion
into technical services sector, and vertical integration with one sand and stone
vendor.
Gross Profit
Margin
Gross
profit margin for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was 27.87%, compared
to 23.49% for the same period last year. The increase of the gross profit margin
is mainly because technical services provided a higher margin and our
merger with one sand and stone company lowered the cost of goods
sold.
General and administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2010 were
$1,851,878, as compared to $28,794,545 for the same period last year, a decrease
of $26,942,667, or approximately 93.57%. The decrease was primarily due to the
$27,422,242 one time non-cash compensation expenses included in the general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30,
2009.

Operating Income
(Loss)
Our
operating income for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $5,375,174, an
increase of $29,669,709 as compared to operating loss of $24,294,535 for the
same period last year. The increased income was due to the increased sales
revenue as a result of our business expansion geographically, the increased
revenue of the same batch plants as well as our transition towards the business
of a higher profit margin. In addition, the Company in the comparable period in
2009 carried a loss because the one-time non-cash compensation expenses of
$27,422,242 were included in the general and administrative expenses for the
three months ended November 30, 2009.

share if the income tax had been applied would decrease the basic and diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended November 30, 2009 by
$0.32.
Net Income (Loss)
Attributable To China Infrastructure Construction
Corporation
Net
income was $8,854,700 for the six months ended November 30, 2010, an increase of
$ 31,414,285 as
compared to net loss of $22,559,585 for the same period last year. The increase
was primarily due to the increased sales as a result of our business expansion
geographically and our transition towards business of a higher profit margin. In
addition, the one-time non-cash compensation expenses of $27,422,242 were
included in the general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
November 30, 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
November 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $803,470. We have
historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments
from customers, bank borrowings, capital from shareholders. Due to the
competitive environment, our raw materials suppliers are willing to accept our
accounts receivable and credit the Company for the payments to the accounts
payable. We usually enter into assignment agreements with our suppliers, whereby
the suppliers shall be entitled to the amounts due and owed by our customer and
the Company shall assist the suppliers on collection. Under these assignment
agreements, the Company has the obligation of notifying the customers about the
assignment, and in any event that the suppliers are not able to collect such
accounts receivable due to a fault other than the suppliers,’ the Company shall
still have the obligation to pay off the suppliers. In the concrete industry,
the raw material suppliers, with their locality and good relationship with local
construction companies who often become our customers, are in a better position
to collect the receivable from our customers. All assigned accounts receivable
to our suppliers were collected as of the end of our second fiscal quarter of
2011. In the six months ended November 30, 2010, we paid approximately
$17,672,576 or 64.99% of the raw materials with our accounts receivable. Our
working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the
numerical and dollar volume of our project contracts, the progress of our
contract execution, the timing of accounts receivable collections and the
acceptance of our accounts receivable as payment instrument by raw material
suppliers.

Operating
Activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $1,293,846 for the six months ended
November 30, 2010, an increase of $4,955,797 as compared to $3,661,951 net cash
used in operating activities for the same period last year. The increase of net
cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to the increase of net
income and tax payable offset by prepayment. Accounts receivable increased
as well as a result of the growing sales. We typically had long-term annual
and multi-year contracts with our major customers. We entered into varying
payment terms with our customers ranging from payment before delivery, payment
on delivery or up to 1 year after the project completion. As of November 30,
2010, trade accounts receivable with aging over twelve months old amounted to
$7,294,414, accounting for 10.92% of total trade accounts
receivable.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities was $360,446 for the six months ended November
30, 2010, a decrease of $557,839 as compared to $918,285 used for the same
period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased investments of
property, plant, and equipment and decreased payment to related party receivable
and the proceeds from the collection of related-party receivable and from the
sale of property, plant, and equipment.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
used in financing activities was $1,253,339 for the six
months ended November 30, 2010, compared to $10,151,014 net cash provided by
financing activities for the same period last year. In addition to the cash from
the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock in October 2009, the
decrease of net cash provided by financing activities was also attributable to
the repayment of the Company’s bank loans that matured during the six months
ended November 30, 2010 and the increased payment to our capital lease
obligations.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's
discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting
policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments.
See note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies." Management bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more
critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and
results of operations.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of
concrete pumping service and consulting service. The Company's revenue
recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers
or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is
fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant
obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our
sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance
for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or
incentive given to customers. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue.
Our
products delivered to customers would be checked on site by customers and, once
the products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice.
There is no warranty issue after the delivery.
Reward or
incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our
products; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of
revenue when recognized in our income statement.
The
Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The
Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced
value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the
national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if
the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The
Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been
reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.
Use of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined
financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the
estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and
prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
11
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net
realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and
dispose.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and
procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to
ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it
files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules
and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and
communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow
timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered
by this report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Effective
October 25, 2010, Ms. Yiru Shi resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company. Ms. Shi’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the
Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or
practices.
12
Effective
October 25, 2010, Mr. John Bai was appointed as acting Chief Financial Officer
of the Company for a trial period of three months.
Except
for the above, there was no other change in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting during the period ended November 30, 2010, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.
