NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 (Unaudited) AND MAY 31, 2011
AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
1. | 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 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.
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, Shaanxi 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 (Unaudited) AND MAY 31, 2011
AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
On June 27, 2011, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Laoting County Kejian Concrete Co. Ltd, in Tangshan, Hebei Province. The new subsidiary is a joint venture with 51% owned by Beijing Concrete and 49% owned by two other individuals. The total registered capital is 12 million RMB, about USD $2.34 million.
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.
2. | 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.
3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
a. | 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.
b. | 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.
c. | 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. Non-controlling interests consist of other stockholders’ ownership interests in majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 (Unaudited) AND MAY 31, 2011
AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
d. | 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.
e. | 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.
f. | Restricted Cash |
Restricted cash represents deposits held in the escrow account and are not insured by any government entity or agency.
g. | 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 the 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. The ultimate collection of the Company’s accounts receivable may take more than one year, and any portion of accounts receivable expected to be collected more than one year from the sale date is reflected as noncurrent, net of allowance for doubtful accounts relating to that portion of the receivables. The bifurcation between current and noncurrent portions of accounts receivable is based on management’s estimate and historical collection experience.
h. | 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.

AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
i. | 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:
Office trailers | 10 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 3-8 years | |
Furniture and office equipment | 5-8 years | |
Motor vehicles | 3-5 years |
j. | 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 February 29, 2012, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.
k. | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income |
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
l. | Revenue Recognition |
The Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of manufacturing service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers or manufacturing 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. Both of our product sales and manufacturing service are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for returns. Revenues 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.
Similar to sales of concrete products, we delivered products on which we provided manufacturing service to customers or provided manufacturing service on site. Customers check products upon receipt and will sign the acceptance notice once the products are accepted. There is no warranty issue after the acceptance.
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.

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.
n. | 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.
o. | Advertising Costs |
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs, if any, are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the income statement.
p. | 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.
q. | 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 , 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.

AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
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.
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. Effective January 1, 2009, the PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate across the board for all enterprises regardless of whether domestic or foreign enterprise without any tax holiday which is defined as "two-year exemption followed by three-year half exemption" hitherto enjoyed by taxpayers. As a result of the new tax law of a standard 25% tax rate, tax holidays terminated as of December 31, 2008. However, the PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises who had already started tax holidays, before January 1, 2009, to continue enjoying the tax holidays until being fully utilized. The exemption of income tax to the Company lasted until December 31, 2010, and from January 1, 2011, the Company is subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25%.
r. | 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.
s. | 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 three levels are defined as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 (Unaudited) AND MAY 31, 2011
AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY, 2012 AND 2011
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 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.
t. | 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.
u. | 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.
v. | 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.

w. | 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.
x. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, “Receivables Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to be concurrent with the effective date of the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, as presented in proposed Accounting Standards Update, Receivables (Topic 310): Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update apply to all public-entity creditors that modify financing receivables within the scope of the disclosure requirements about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20. Under the existing effective date in Update 2010-20, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20. In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-01 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Updates up through No. 2011-12.
y. | Reclassifications |
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
4. | Restricted Cash |
In accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (note 15) 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. As of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011, the amount not disbursed was $301 and $10,868, respectively.

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 only net loss 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 February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011. The Group believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appears to be uncertain due to its limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided 100% valuation allowance at the period end for its United States operation.

21. | 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.
22. | Operating Lease Commitment |
As of February 29, 2012, the Company was committed to minimum rentals for the leased land under long-term non-cancellable operating leases as follows:

Unless the context otherwise requires, The "Company", "we," "us," and "our," refer to (i) China Infrastructure Construction Corporation; (ii) Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (Beijing Concrete”), (iii) Beijing Fortune Capital Management, Ltd. (BFCM”), (iv) Shaanxi Hongruida Concrete Ltd. (Hongruida”), (v) Northern Construction Holdings, Ltd. (NCH”) and (vi) Laoting County Kejian Concrete Co. Ltd. (“Laoting”).
Overview
China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company,” “China Infrastructure,” “CHNC,” “we” or “our”) was organized in Colorado on February 28, 2003. The Company through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), engages in production of ready-mixed concrete for developers and the construction industry in the PRC. The Company primarily operates through its indirect majority-owned subsidiary, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Concrete”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC.
Beijing Concrete currently has four production facilities. One facility is located in Beijing’s Daxing District, one is in Shidu, a suburban area of Beijing, one is in Xi’an West New High-tech Zone, and another one is located at the Tangshan harbor, about two hundred kilometers from Beijing. The plant located in Xi’an was put into operation at the end of March 2010.
Our facilities generate revenues by selling concrete and providing manufacturing services. Since March 2010, our Caifeidian facility has been providing manufacturing services to our customers. In this business model, the customer provides to us raw materials to be used for production of concrete for the customer. Our customers, mostly large contractors working on big projects, have more bargaining power to negotiate lower prices for raw materials. The Company benefits from this as well because it does not need to advance cash to buy raw materials. Starting from 2011, the Caifeidian facility provides only manufacturing services to its customers. In October 2010, the Shidu facility also switched to providing only manufacturing services to its customers.
On June 27, 2011, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Laoting County Kejian Concrete Co. Ltd., in Tangshan, Hebei Province. The new subsidiary is a joint venture with 51% equity interest held by Beijing Concrete and 49% held by two other individuals. The total registered capital is 12 million RMB, or approximately USD $2.34 million.

Results of Operations
Three months ended February 29, 2012 Compared to Three months ended February 28, 2011
Net Revenue
Net Revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2012 was $8,572,662 as compared to $20,783,682 for the same period last year, a decrease of $12,211,020, or approximately 58.75%. The decrease in net revenue is mainly caused by the slowdown of the real estate and infrastructure build out affected by the slowdown of the Chinese economy. Additionally, one major project for Tangshan Harbor Construction Engineering Co., Ltd in the Caifeidian facility was completed in June 2011; therefore, the sales volume of concrete products decreased. Manufacturing services also decreased due to the completion of this project.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended February 29, 2012 was $6,752,806 as compared to $12,260,147 for the same period last year, a decrease of $5,507,341, or approximately 44.92%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is due to reduced revenue caused by the slowdown of the Chinese economy and also by the relocation and the equipment replacement as well as the completion of the project for Tangshan Harbor Construction Engineering Co., Ltd in the Caifeidian facility.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended February 29, 2012 was $1,819,856, a decrease of $6,703,679 or approximately 78.65%, as compared to $8,523,535 for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to the decreased revenue and the increase of price of raw material as well as less portion of manufacturing service in the revenue.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for the three months ended February 29, 2012 was 21.23% compared to 41.01% for the same period last year. The decrease of the gross profit margin is mainly the result of higher raw material price and less manufacturing service proportion in the revenue mix.
General and administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 29, 2012 were $2,840,141, as compared to $10,083,492 for the same period last year, a decrease of $7,243,351, or approximately 71.83%. The decrease of the general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decrease of bad debt expense.
Operating income (loss)
Our operating loss for the three months ended February 29, 2012 was $1,020,285, a decrease of $539,672 or approximately 34.59% as compared to a loss of $1,559,957 for the same period last year. The decrease of operating loss was due to the decreased general and administrative expenses and offset by decreased net revenue.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended February 29, 2012, our business operations were solely conducted by our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC and we are governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws. PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. In accordance with the Income Tax Laws, a PRC domestic company is subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%.
Our income taxes during the three months ended February 29, 2012 were $272,056, a decrease of $1,373, or approximately 0.50%, compared to $273,429 for the same period last year.
Net Income (loss) Attributable To China Infrastructure Construction Corporation
Net loss was $1,241,695 for the three months ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $426,984 or approximately 25.59%, as compared to net loss of $1,668,679 for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased bad debt expenses offset by the decrease of revenue.
Nine months ended February 29, 2012 Compared to Nine months ended February 28, 2011
Net Revenue
Net Revenue for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was $41,384,196 as compared to $67,901,332 for the same period last year, a decrease of $26,517,136 or approximately 39.05%. The decrease in net revenue is mainly caused by the slowdown of the Chinese economy and the relocation of Beijing Concrete starting from March 2011 till October 2011 resulting equipment replacement and reducing concrete production and sales. Additionally, one major project in the Caifeidian facility was completed in June 2011; therefore, the sales volume of concrete products decreased. Manufacturing services also decreased due to the completion of this project.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was $28,378,657 as compared to $46,017,232 for the same period last year, a decrease of $17,638,575, or approximately 38.33%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is mainly due to the reduced production in Beijing Concrete caused by relocation and equipment replacement as well as the completion of the customer’s project in the Caifeidian facility.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was $13,005,539, a decrease of $8,878,561 or approximately 40.57%, as compared to $21,884,100 for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to the decreased revenue.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was 31.42% compared to 32.23% for the same period last year. The decrease of the gross profit margin is mainly the result of the decreased proportion of manufacturing service in the total revenue.
General and administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 were $6,528,955, as compared to $13,377,622 for the same period last year, a decrease of $6,848,667, or approximately 51.19%. The decrease of the general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the decrease of bad debt allowance offset by the decrease of revenue.
Operating Income
Our operating income for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was $6,476,584, a decrease of $2,029,894, or approximately 23.86%, as compared to $8,506,478 for the same period last year. The decrease of operating income was due to the decreased net revenue offset by the decreased general and administrative expenses.
Income Taxes
For the nine months ended February 29, 2012, our business operations were solely conducted by our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC and we are governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws. PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. In accordance with the Income Tax Laws, a PRC domestic company is subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%.
Our income taxes during the nine months ended February 29, 2012 were $2,539,715, an increase of $1,685,356, or approximately 197.26%, compared to $854,359 for the same period last year. This is because Beijing Concrete, our PRC subsidiary, was considered by the respective tax authorities a resource multipurpose utilization enterprise, which qualified it for an exemption from income tax until December 31, 2010.
Net Income Attributable To China Infrastructure Construction Corporation
Net income was $3,665,025 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $3,520,996 or approximately 49.00%, as compared to $7,186,021 for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased operating income and the increased income tax resulting from cancellation of tax exemption enjoyed by Beijing Concrete in 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 29, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $73,498. We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. 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, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended | ||||||||

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,257,144 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $1,666,548, or 282.18%, as compared to $590,596 for the same period last year. The increase of net cash provided by operating activities was due to the decrease of prepayments, increase in trade accounts payable and tax payable and by less amount of increase in accounts receivable. Regarding accounts receivable, 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 February 29, 2012, trade accounts receivable that are expected to be collected in more than one year amounted to $54,649,371, or 70.52% of total trade accounts receivable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4,611,175 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $5,221,072 as compared to $609,897 net cash provided by investing activities for the same period last year. The increase of net cash used by investing activities was primarily due to the increased investments of property, plant, and equipment and fewer proceeds from related party receivable.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,287,644 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $4,263,185 compared to cash used in financing activities of $1,975,541 for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to deceased payment to bank loan payable and capital lease obligations combined with increased cash from Laoting’s non-controlling interest, which amounted to $908,599 offset by increase of payment to related party payable and due to increase of proceeds from bank loan payable and capital lease obligation.
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 manufacturing service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605. 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 and 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 enjoyed 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 to December 31, 2010. Starting from January 1, 2011, the Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales.
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.

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.
