Nature of operations
LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (formerly known as Remediation Services
Inc.) (“LianDi Clean” or the “Company”), is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries, primarily
engages in the distribution of clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), the distribution
of a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization

Jucheng”), who is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products
and high polymer fine chemical products, as well as providing chemical professional services.
Corporate organization
LianDi Clean was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25,
1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, the Company changed its name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation
Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, Remediation completed a
reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which is further described
below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change-in-control of Remediation.
On February 26, 2010, Remediation consummated the transactions contemplated
by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s
shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued
and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder
of Remediation. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares of Remediation’s common stock then outstanding
were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, Remediation had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding.
Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to Remediation all of the China LianDi
Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of Remediation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such
transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of Remediation’s shares of common stock then
issued and outstanding. The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of Remediation. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to Remediation’s
former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Remediation to be the accounting
acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with the results
of Remediation being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of the Company have been retroactively
restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded as a result of this transaction.
On March 17, 2010, Remediation caused to be formed a corporation
under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. ("Merger Sub") and on the same day, acquired
one hundred shares of Merger Sub's common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remediation.
Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into
Remediation. As a result of the merger, the Company’s corporate name was changed to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.” Prior
to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger
Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of the Company.

In July 2004, China LianDi was founded and owned as to 60% by Mr.
Jianzhong Zuo (“Mr. Zuo,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company) and 40% by another third-party minority
shareholder. On October 2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired from such minority shareholder the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for
US$1, and accordingly became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008, SJ Asia Pacific Limited (a company incorporated
in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJI Inc., a company incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed on the
Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo in exchange for: (i) US$1.00;
(ii) the commitment to investing HK$60,000,000 (or approximately $7.7 million) in China LianDi; and (iii) the provision of financial
support for China LianDi by way of an unlimited shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum.
As a result, China LianDi had been owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49% by Mr. Zuo.
On January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest
in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned
by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,” a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited, and of which Mr. Zuo is a director and holds voting and dispositive power over the
shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd (“Rapid Capital”), respectively. On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific
Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% interest in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital
Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively. On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest
in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%) and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%), respectively. As a result, immediately
before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned 48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen
BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13% was held as to 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon
Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.
Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital are held by two individuals unaffiliated
to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of 5% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel
and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from the
principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services related to facilitating the
private placement.

Corporate organization (continued)
Hua Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008,
China LianDi acquired 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common
control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of
accounting.
In 2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned
subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established Beijing JianXin, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the PRC.
On July 5, 2010, Beijing Jianxin acquired a 51% equity interest
of Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng is primarily engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling of organic and inorganic chemicals
and high polymer fine chemicals with related technical services, and recycle and sales of discarded product or used packing.
On December 31, 2010, China LianDi acquired a 100% equity interest
in Hongteng Technology Limited together with its wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.,
from Mr. Zuo, CEO of the Company.
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange,
the Company completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively,
the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078
shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible
into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342 shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363
shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase
up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. The Company also issued
to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares
of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26, 2013. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$27.56 million from the private placement.
Pursuant to an investment agreement signed on August 3, 2011, and
approved by the shareholders of Anhui Jucheng, six independent third party investors, invested cash in the aggregate of RMB142
million (approximately US$22.23 million) in exchange for a 23.28% interest in the enlarged registered capital. The total capital
injection of RMB142 million was paid up on August 9, 2011, of which RMB7.74 million was credited as registered capital (the enlarged
registered capital became RMB33.25 million) and RMB134,260,000 was credited as additional paid-in capital. The capital injection
was approved by the PRC bureau and the new business licence of Anhui Jucheng was issued on August 30, 2011. As such, effective
from August 30, 2011, the Company’s equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreased from 51% to 39.13%, and the Company ceased
to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng, but still retains significant influence over Anhui Jucheng.

Corporate organization (continued)
On September 27, 2011, two of the Company’s existing stockholders,
SJ Asia Pacific Limited ("SJ Asia") and LianDi Energy, and Jianzhong Zuo, a director and the sole stockholder of LianDi
Energy and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase
Agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") dated as of September 22, 2011 relating to the purchase by SJ Asia from LianDi
Energy of 5,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $25,920,000 ($4.80
per share). As a result, SJ Asia beneficially owns an aggregate of 18,513,738 shares of the Company’s common stock, which
constitutes approximately 59% of the outstanding common shares of the Company as of December 31, 2011. The source of funds used
for this investment was the capital increase of SJI, Inc., which is the sole shareholder of SJ Asia. The purpose of the Share Purchase
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby was for SJ Asia to acquire in excess of 51% of the outstanding common shares
of the Company and consolidate the Company's business with that of SJI, Inc., the parent company of SJ Asia. Following the transactions
contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement, Mr. Zuo remains the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company with the
backing of SJ Asia. In addition to the Share Purchase Agreement described above, SJ Asia entered into a lock-up agreement with
the Company whereby SJ Asia agreed that it may only sell up to one-twelfth (1/12) of SJ Asia's holdings every month through February
26, 2012.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis of preparation and consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated
financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included. The results reported in the condensed
consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for
the entire year. The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, which was derived from
audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though the Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2011.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and
its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these
condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly,
actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates include the useful
lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill,
and the fair value of share-based payments and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred stock.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
|
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying
amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. As of December
31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, approximately $3.66 million and $16.23 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were
denominated in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC. The convertibility of RMB
into other currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by
the PRC government.
Accounts and other receivables
Accounts and other receivables are stated at
cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts and other receivables on a periodic basis
and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of
individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment
history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of equipment
and software inventory is determined on a specific identification basis and cost of industrial chemical inventory is determined
on a weighted average basis. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their
present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s
estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost.
Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine
if a valuation allowance is required.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal.
The cost of improvements that extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural
improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
|
Useful Life
|
Leasehold improvements
|
5 years
|
Buildings
|
30 years
|
Plant and machinery
|
10 years
|
Office equipment
|
2-5 years
|
Intangible assets
Purchased software and copyrights are initially recorded at cost
and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or estimated useful economic life of 2 to 10 years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
|
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company performs its annual goodwill
impairment test at the end of each fiscal year for all reporting units. Goodwill is tested following a two-step process. The first
step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each
reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill
to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar
to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets
and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets
and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of
goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company recognized no impairment loss on goodwill for the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Investment in equity method affiliate
Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the
Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance to ASC Topic 323
“Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee
depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee companies’ board of directors
and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee companies.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share
of the earnings or losses of the equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Equity in earnings of equity method
affiliate” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amount recorded in income is adjusted to
eliminate intercompany gains and losses. The Company’s carrying value (including advance to the investee) in equity method
affiliate is reflected in the caption “Investment in and advance to equity method affiliate” in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets. Dividends received from the unconsolidated subsidiaries reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method affiliate
is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company
guarantees obligations of the equity method affiliate or has committed additional funding. When the equity method affiliate subsequently
reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously
recognized.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered
to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An
impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets
are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from
other asset groups.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met as
prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility
is reasonably assured.
Multiple-deliverable arrangements
The Company derives revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with
customers that may provide for the Company to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer
and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract
price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement
is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
•
|
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
|
|
•
|
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
|
|
•
|
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered
item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.
|
The Company’s multiple-element contracts generally include
customer-acceptance provisions which provide for the Company to carry out installation, test runs and performance tests at the
Company’s cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance period”)
stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages of the contract
value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance specifications
cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return, cancellation
or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.
The delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer
until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by the Company in accordance with the performance specifications
specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, the Company has not sold the equipment separately
from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value
for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services for installation, integration
and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element
Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation
and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated
by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.
The Company may also provide its customers with a warranty for one
year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract
price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the customer upon expiration of the warranty period. For
those contracts with retainage clauses, the Company defers the recognition of the amounts retained as revenue until expiration
of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. The Company has not provided for warranty costs for those
contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based on historical experience.

Revenue recognition (Continued)
Product only
Revenue derived from sales contracts that require delivery of products
only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers. Titles to the products pass to the customers when the products
are delivered and accepted by the customers.
Software sale
The Company recognizes revenue from the delivery of data processing
platform software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC Topic 985, Software (formerly
Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended), and in accordance with SAB 104. Costs of software
revenue include amortization of software copyrights.
Service
The Company recognizes revenue from provision of services when the
service has been performed, in accordance with SAB 104.
The Company is subject to business tax of 5% and value added tax
of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in the PRC, respectively. The Company presents its revenue
net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts and returns. There were no product returns
for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Deferred revenue and costs
Deferred revenue represents payments received from customers on
equipment delivery and installation contracts prior to customer acceptance. As revenues are deferred, the related costs
of equipment paid to suppliers are also deferred. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements
of income in the period in which the criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as discussed above.
Research and development expenses
Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.
Advertising and promotion costs
Advertising and promotion costs are charged to expense when incurred.
During the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, advertising and promotion costs were insignificant.
Shipping and handling cost
Shipping and handling costs are charged to expense when incurred.
Shipping and handling costs were included in selling expenses in the statements of income and comprehensive income and amounted
to $579,532 and $678,806 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and $360,029 and $526,559 for the three months ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Typically, the Company does not charge back customers for these costs.

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

Earnings per share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions
of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. FASB ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilutive effects of convertible securities
(using the as-if converted method), and options and warrants and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).

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

Foreign currency (Continued)
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been,
or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the above rates.
The value of RMB against U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate
and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation
of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.
Financial instruments
The Company values its financial instruments as required by FASB
ASC 320-12-65. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information or other
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates
of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid
in a current market exchange.
Fair value measurements
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash
and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trading securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables
and due to shareholders.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the
financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these
instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar
remaining maturity and risk profile at the respective reporting periods.
ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures
, defines
fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement
date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs
when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
Level 1
-
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2
- Observable inputs
other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active;
or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets
or liabilities.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs
that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the
hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
receivables and payables, and short-term debts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01- Receivables (Topic
310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in
this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables
(Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, for public entities.
The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The
effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what
constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. This deferral will have no material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02- Receivables (Topic
310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this update
provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be
considered a trouble debt restructuring For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning
on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year
of adoption. Early application is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-02 will have no material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 – Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.GAAP and IFRSs.
The amendments in this update intend to converge requirements for how to measure fair value and for disclosing information about
fair value measurements in US GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. For public entities, this ASU is effective
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-04 will have no material
impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements
(Continued)
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 – Comprehensive
Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this update require (i) that all non-owner changes
in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but
consecutive statements (the current option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the
statement of changes in stockholders’ equity is eliminated); and (ii) presentation of reclassification adjustments from OCI
to net income on the face of the financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively.
Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-05 will have no material impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 —Intangibles
—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity
would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment,
that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events
and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and
interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The
adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-08 will have no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 —Balance
Sheet (Topic 210). The objective of this update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements
to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect
or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the
scope of this update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments
and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject
to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either
Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by
those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-11 will have
no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 —Comprehensive
Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, to effectively defer
only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other
comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for
reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private,
and non-profit entities. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-12 will have no
material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by
the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Restricted cash as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 represented
the Company’s bank deposits held as collateral for the Company’s credit facilities as discussed in Note 20.

In December 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Beijing JianXin,
purchased a software copyright on data processing platform software for application in petrochemical production pursuant to an
agreement dated October 1, 2008 from a company unaffiliated to the Company at the time of the agreement. The agreement provides
that the purchase price shall be based on the valuation of RMB40,800,000 (or $5,941,459). The agreement stipulates that the seller
shall provide assistance for the registration of the software copyright in the name of Beijing JianXin. The agreement also provides
that the seller shall dismiss all human resources for the business activities related to the software from the date Beijing JianXin
is granted the software copyright and at the same time, provide assistance for Beijing JianXin to re-employ the necessary staff
from the seller to ensure a smooth transitioning of the activities related to the software. The agreement provides for Beijing
JianXin to pay the purchase price within 1 year from the date it obtains the software copyright, but no later than March 31, 2010.
The purchase price for the software copyright was fully paid before March 31, 2010.
This software copyright has been registered with the National Copyright
Administration of the People’s Republic of China in the name of Beijing JianXin and is protected under the relevant copyright
law of the PRC for 50 years from November 11, 2008, the date of first publication of the software. This software copyright is amortized
over its estimated useful life of ten years using the straight-line method.
Amortization expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2011
and 2010 were $487,379 and $464,630, respectively. Amortization expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
were $163,104 and $157,607, respectively.
The estimated amortization expense of software copyright over each
of the next five years and thereafter will be $662,132 per annum.

NOTE 15 INVESTMENT
IN EQUITY METHOD AFFILIATE
As explained
in Note 1, since August 30, 2011, the Company owns a 39.13% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng and has the right to appoint two directors
out of a total of five to the board of directors. Accordingly, the Company exercises significant influence on Anhui Jucheng and
thus Anhi Jucheng is accounted for as an equity method affiliate since August 30, 2011. The Company initially measured (i.e. at
August 30, 2011), its retained investment in the common stock of the investee at fair value in the deconsolidation transaction
mentioned above in accordance with paragraphs 810-10-40-3A through 40-5.

Goodwill at March 31, 2011 arose from the Company’s acquisition
of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010. Impairment of goodwill is tested at least annually at the reporting unit. The test consists of
two steps. First, the Company identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying
amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered
impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying
amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined
by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Topic
805,”Business Combinations.”

NOTE 21 COMMON
STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
(a)
Common
Stock
The Company
is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. The Company had 1,216,950 shares of common stock outstanding
prior to the Share Exchange with China LianDi, and, as described in Note 1, and issued 27,354,480 shares of common stock to the
shareholders of China LianDi in connection with the Share Exchange. For accounting purposes, the shares issued to the shareholders
of China LianDi are assumed to have been outstanding on April 1, 2008 and the 1,216,950 shares held by the existing shareholders
of the Company prior to the Share Exchange on February 26, 2010 are assumed to have been issued on that date in exchange for the
net assets of the Company.
On February
26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, the Company completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities
purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price
of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342
shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50
per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise
price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. The Company also issued to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants
to purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of
common stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26,
2013. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million from the private placement.
For the year
ended March 31, 2011, 1,568,108 shares of preferred stock were converted into 1,568,108 shares of common stock.
During the
nine months ended December 31, 2011, 649,352 shares of preferred stock were converted into 649,352 shares of common stock.
At December
31, 2011, 31,576,232 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

NOTE 21 COMMON
STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
(b) Preferred
Stock
The Company
is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of which one series of preferred stock has been
designated as Series A Preferred Stock, or the preferred shares, of which the Company issued 7,086,078 shares to certain accredited
investors in a private placement on February 26, 2010. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock, at a
conversion price of $3.50 per share (subject to certain adjustments) at any time at the holder’s option, and will automatically
convert at the earlier to occur of the following: (i) twenty-four (24) months following February 26, 2010, and (ii) such time that
the volume weighted average price of the common stock is no less than $5.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days with
the daily volume of the common stock equal to at least 50,000 shares per day. The designation, rights, preferences and other terms
and provisions of the preferred shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State
on March 4, 2010. The preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly, at the
Company’s option, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has class voting
rights such that the Company, prior to taking certain corporate actions (including certain issuances or redemptions of its securities
or changes in its organizational documents), is required to obtain the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority
of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights
with the common stock or other equity securities of the Company. The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $3.50 per
share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Company cannot issue shares of common stock registered for resale under the
registration statement for any reasons, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, solely at the holder’s option, can require
the Company to redeem from such holder those Series A Preferred Stock for which the Company is unable to issue registered shares
of common stock at a price equal the Series A liquidation preference amount, provided that the Company shall have the sole option
to pay such redemption price in cash or restricted shares of common stock.
At December
31, 2011, 4,868,618 preferred shares were outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $17,758,011.
The Company
has evaluated the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock, without embodying an
obligation for the Company to repurchase or to settle by transferring assets, is not a liability in accordance with the guidance
provided in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
Because the
event that may trigger redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the delivery of registered shares, is not solely within the
Company’s control, the Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance
with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.
The Series A
Preferred Stock holder may request redemption of the preferred stock in the event that the Company cannot issue shares of common
stock registered for resale under the registration statement. However, according to the registration rights agreement between the
Company and the investors (who are also the preferred stock holders), the Company is contractually permitted to prepare, file and
cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 calendar days after the closing date of the private placement
on February 26, 2010. The registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2010 and remained effective as of December
31, 2011. Therefore, the Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable. Accordingly, as
of December 31, 2011, the Company has not adjusted the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value or
recognized any accretion charges as it is considered not probable that the Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable, in
accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Guidance on redeemable preferred stock in ASC 480-10-S99.

NOTE 21 COMMON
STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
(b) Preferred Stock (continued)
In conjunction
with the private placement on February 26, 2010, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors pursuant
to which LianDi Energy delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares of common stock to be used as a share escrow for the achievement
of a fiscal year 2011 net income performance threshold of $20.5 million. The Company has evaluated the terms of this escrow arrangement
based on the guidance provided in ASC 718-10S99 and concluded that because the escrow shares would be released to the Company’s
principal stockholder or distributed to the investors without regard to the continued employment of any of the Company’s
directors or officers, the escrow arrangement is in substance an inducement to facilitate the private placement, rather than compensatory.
Because the
fiscal 2011 performance threshold has been met, 1,722,311 shares were released to LianDi Energy, the principal stockholder, on
August 24, 2011.
In accordance
to ASC Topic 718 and ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation: Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption
of Compensation. The Company evaluated the substance of this arrangement and whether the presumption of compensation has been overcome.
According to the Security Escrow Agreement signed between the Company and its investors, the release of these escrow shares to
the principal stockholder was not contingent on continued employment, and this arrangement is in substance an inducement made to
facilitate the financing transaction on behalf of the Company, rather than as compensatory. Therefore, the Company has accounted
for the escrowed share arrangement according to its nature, and therefore did not recognize a non-cash compensation charge as a
result of the Company satisfying the 2011 performance thresholds.
Accordingly,
the Company has accounted for the escrow share arrangement according to its nature and reflected it as a reduction of the proceeds
allocated to the newly issued securities in the private placement, based on its at fair value of $4,925,810 as of February 26,
2010.
The aggregate
fair value of the escrow shares as of February 26, 2010 is allocated to the different securities issued in the private placement
according to their respective allocated net proceeds as follows:

of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private placement to December
31, 2011, using the effective interest method. Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the nine months ended December
31, 2011 and 2010 was nil and $3,011,412, respectively, and nil and $1,059,568 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and

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

NOTE 23 STATUTORY
RESERVES
The Company’s subsidiaries, Beijing JianXin and Beijing HongTeng,
as PRC companies, are required on an annual basis to make appropriations of retained earnings to statutory reserves at a certain
percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations (“PRC GAAP”).
The general reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of
after-tax profit (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end and after setting off against any accumulated losses from prior
years) until such fund has reached 50% of registered capital, whereas the enterprise expansion fund appropriation is at its discretion.
Appropriation to the general reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to stockholders. The general reserve fund and
statutory reserve fund can only be used for specific purposes, such as setting off the accumulated losses, enterprise expansion
or increasing the registered capital. The enterprise expansion fund was mainly used to expand production and operation; it also
may be used for increasing the registered capital. There was no transfer from retained earnings of Beijing JianXin to statutory
reserves since March 31, 2010 because the statutory reserves of $1,138,733 at March 31, 2010 already reached 50% of Beijing JianXin’s
registered capital of $2,200,000. Therefore, any further transfer to the statutory reserves is at the Company’s discretion
and Beijing JianXin decided not to make any appropriations to the statutory reserves during the nine and three months ended December
31, 2011 and 2010. Beijing HongTeng incurred a net loss for its PRC fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, therefore, no statutory
reserves were provided.
There are no legal requirements in the PRC to fund these reserves
by transfer of cash to restricted accounts, and the Company has not done so.

NOTE 24 OTHER
INCOME – VALUE ADDED TAX REFUND
Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the PRC government as a software
enterprise with its own software copyright. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing
JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect of its sales of self-developed software products. The Company
recognizes the value added tax refund as revenue only when it has been received and there is no condition to the use of the refund
received.
NOTE 25 INCOME
TAXES
The entities within the Company file separate tax returns in the
respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, only profits arising
in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore,
Hua Shen HK, PEL HK and Bright Flow are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax on their taxable income derived from the trade
or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
In March 2007, the PRC government enacted the PRC Enterprise Income
Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and promulgated related regulations, Implementing Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law.
The law and regulations became effective from January 1, 2008. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among other things, imposes a
unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.
Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng, being established
in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the
relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise with its own software copyright and is entitled to tax preferential treatment
– a two-year tax holiday through EIT exemption for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and a 50% reduction
on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Anhui Jucheng and Beijing Hongteng
are subject to an EIT rate of 25% for 2011.
No provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither LianDi
Clean or China LianDi has any taxable income in the U.S or the British Virgin Islands.
The new Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends
distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated
after January 1, 2008. Under the New Tax Law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the
withholding tax. As the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to the Company for the years
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries
at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and March
31, 2011 were RMB612,547,228 ($97,215,831) and RMB345,042,882 ($52,626,881).

(2) Deferred
tax liability arose on the gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, which
was calculated based on the approximate $30.41 million deconsolidation gain and an income tax rate of 25%, the enacted tax rate
that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse.
As

Income
taxes
(CONTINUED)
As of December
31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income
tax rate in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits
within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during
the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as
of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.
According to
the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to
computational errors made by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special
circumstances, which are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitation is ten years.
There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion.
NOTE 26 CERTAIN
RISKS AND CONCENTRATION
Credit risk and concentration of customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, accounts receivable, and prepayments
and other current assets. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents
and trading securities were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are
of high credit quality.
The Company primarily derived its revenue from petroleum, petrochemical
and energy companies operating in the PRC and had certain risk of concentration of customers as follows:
·
|
As of December 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 76% and 15% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 76% and 10% of the accounts receivables of the Company, respectively. Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011 or March 31, 2011.
|
·
|
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 48% and 33% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, two customers individually accounted for 35% and 12% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.
|
|
|
·
|
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 49% and 32% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, one customer individually accounted for 32% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.

RISKS AND CONCENTRATION (CONTINUED)
Concentration of suppliers
The Company sourced industrial valves and other equipment from a
few suppliers who individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s costs of revenue:
—
|
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, two suppliers altogether accounted for 63% of the Company’s costs of revenue (39% and 24% individually). During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, three suppliers altogether accounted for 60% of the Company’s costs of revenue (32%, 17% and 11% individually).
|
—
|
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, two suppliers altogether accounted for 77% of the Company’s costs of revenue (55% and 22% individually). During the three months ended December 31, 2010, two suppliers altogether accounted for 50% of the Company’s costs of revenue (29% and 21% individually).
|
The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted within
the PRC. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties
inherent in the PRC. Among other risks, the Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer
of funds, export duties, quotas, and embargoes, domestic and international customs and tariffs, changing taxation policies, foreign
exchange restrictions and political conditions and governmental regulations.

NOTE 28 SEGMENT
DATA
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which
requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and
evaluating their performance. Reportable operating segments include components of an entity about which separate financial information
is available and which operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make
decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess each operating segment’s performance. Before the acquisition
of Anhui Jucheng in July 2010, the Company operated in one reportable business segment - the delivering of petroleum and petrochemical
equipment and provision of related technical services using the Company’s proprietary technology and know-how, as well as
selling of data processing software for petrochemical, petroleum and other energy companies. Upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng,
the Company operated in one more reportable business segment – the developing, manufacturing and selling of organic and inorganic
chemicals and high polymer fine chemicals with related technical services, and recycle and sales of discarded product or used packing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
You should read
the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this interim report. Our consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial data included in this interim
report reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the
relevant periods. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements
regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “believe,” or similar language. All forward-looking statements included in this document are
based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information
set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Company Structure and Reorganization
Our
company was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, we
changed our name from Slopestyle Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas
to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China
LianDi”), which is further described below. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted in a change-in-control of our
company.
On
February 26, 2010, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”)
by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders, (collectively, the “China LianDi Shareholders”),
who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China LianDi (the “China LianDi
Shares”) and (ii) the former principal stockholder of our company. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 4,690,000 shares
of our common stock then outstanding were cancelled and retired, so that immediately prior to the Share Exchange, we had 28,571,430
shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China LianDi Shareholders transferred to us
all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for the issuance of 27,354,480 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 96% of our shares of common stock then issued
and outstanding. China LianDi also paid $275,000 to our former principal shareholder, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result
of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
As
a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting
acquirer (legal acquiree) and us to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange
are those of China LianDi with the results of us being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per
share of our company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.
On
March 17, 2010, we caused a corporation to be formed under the laws of the State of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc.
(“Merger Sub”) and on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. Accordingly,
Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of us.
Effective
as of April 1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into our company. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed
to “LianDi Clean Technology Inc.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result
of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except
for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure
or business of our company.
Our
company then became a holding company and, through our subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in distributing clean technology for
refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), distributing a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and
equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software and providing related technical and engineering
services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies. We also expect to launch our
oil sludge cleaning solution in calendar year 2012, which will be operated through our subsidiary, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology
Co., Ltd.

In
July 2004, China LianDi was founded and owned as to 60% by Mr. Jianzhong Zuo, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our company,
and 40% by another third-party minority shareholder. On October 2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired from such minority shareholder the remaining
40% interest in China LianDi for US$1, and accordingly became the sole shareholder of China LianDi. On March 6, 2008, SJ Asia Pacific
Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJI Inc., a company incorporated in Japan and
whose shares are listed on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc. in Japan) acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo
in exchange for: (i) US$1.00; (ii) the commitment to invest HK$60,000,000 (or approximately $7.7 million) in China LianDi; and
(iii) the provision of financial support for China LianDi by way of an unlimited shareholder’s loan bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding 5% per annum. As a result, at such time China LianDi was owned 51% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and 49% by Mr.
Zuo.
On
January 8, 2010, Mr. Zuo transferred a 25%, 14% and 10% interest in China LianDi to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology
Ltd. (“LianDi Energy,” a company wholly owned by Mr. Zuo), Hua Shen Trading (International) Ltd. (“Hua Shen BVI,”
a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by SJ Asia Pacific Limited and of which Mr. Zuo is a director
and holds voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it) and Rapid Capital Holdings Ltd. (“Rapid Capital”),
respectively. On February 10, 2010, SJ Asia Pacific Limited and LianDi Energy transferred 28.06% and 1.47% of their respective
interests in China LianDi to Rapid Capital (26.53%) and TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC (“TriPoint”) (3%), respectively.
On February 12, 2010, Rapid Capital transferred its 31.53% interest in China LianDi to LianDi Energy (15.53%), Hua Shen BVI (11%)
and Dragon Excel Holdings Ltd (5%). As a result, immediately before the Share Exchange as defined below, China LianDi was owned
48% by SJ Asia Pacific Limited (including 25% through Hua Shen BVI) and 39% by Mr. Zuo through LianDi Energy. The remaining 13%
was held 5% by Dragon Excel Holdings Limited (“Dragon Excel”), 5% by Rapid Capital and 3% by TriPoint.
Dragon
Excel and Rapid Capital were held by two individuals unaffiliated to China LianDi at the time of the transfers. The transfers of
the 5% interests in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital were effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal
reasons. The transfer of 3% interest of China LianDi from our principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited to TriPoint was entered
into for consulting services to facilitate the private placement.
Hua
Shen HK was founded by Mr. Zuo in 1999. On January 8, 2008, China LianDi acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hua Shen HK from
Mr. Zuo. As Hua Shen HK and China LianDi had been under common control, the acquisition of Hua Shen HK by China LianDi has been
accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting.
In
2007, China LianDi established PEL HK and Bright Flow, as wholly-owned subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. In 2008, PEL HK established
Beijing JianXin as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC.
On
December 31, 2010, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, China LianDi, acquired a 100% equity interest in Hongteng HK (a company
incorporated in Hong Kong) from Mr. Zuo, our CEO, for a cash consideration of $2,272. This company has a wholly owned subsidiary
incorporated in China, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.
On
September 27, 2011, two of our existing stockholders, SJ Asia Pacific Limited ("SJ Asia") and China LianDi Energy Resources
Engineering Technology Ltd. ("LianDi Energy"), and Jianzhong Zuo, a director and the sole stockholder of LianDi Energy
and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our company, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement
(the "Share Purchase Agreement") dated as of September 22, 2011 relating to the purchase by SJ Asia from LianDi Energy
of 5,400,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $25,920,000 ($4.80 per share). As a result,
SJ Asia beneficially owns an aggregate of 18,513,738 shares of our common stock, which constitutes approximately 59% of the outstanding
common shares of our company as of December 31, 2011. The source of funds used for this investment was the capital increase of
SJI, Inc., which is the sole shareholder of SJ Asia. The purpose of the Share Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby was for SJ Asia to acquire in excess of 51% of the outstanding common shares of our company and consolidate our company's
business with that of SJI, Inc., the parent company of SJ Asia. Following the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement,
Mr. Zuo remains the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our company with the backing of SJ Asia. In addition to the Share Purchase
Agreement described above, SJ Asia entered into a joinder agreement to a lock-up agreement with our company whereby SJ Asia agreed
that it may only sell up to one-twelfth (1/12) of SJ Asia's holdings every month through February 26, 2012.
We
are also engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial chemical products, which is operated through our equity method affiliate
company, Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”), who is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing
and selling organic and inorganic chemical products and high polymer fine chemical products, and providing chemical professional
services.
Anhui
Jucheng was founded on January 28, 2005 and was wholly owned by a third party individual. On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, injected capital of RMB40.8 million (approximately US$6,023,652) into Anhui Jucheng in the form of cash
and as a result, we indirectly became an owner of a 51% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng.
In
August 2011, the shareholders of Anhui Jucheng, Beijing Jianxin and Mr. Hui Fang (the
49% noncontrolling
interest of Anhui Jucheng), together with six independent third party investors, entered into an investment agreement, in accordance
with which the six independent third party investors invested cash in the aggregate of RMB142 million (approximately $22.23 million)
in Anhui Jucheng, and as a result, obtained a 23.28% equity interest in the enlarged registered capital. Upon consummating this
transaction, the equity interest holding percentages of Beijing Jianxin and Mr. Hui Fang decreased from 51% to 39.13% and from
49% to 37.59%, respectively. At the same time, the paid-in capital of Anhui Jucheng increased from RMB 25.51 million to RMB 33.25
million. On August 30, 2011, this transaction was approved and registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commence
(“SAIC”) of Suixi County, Huaibei City, Anhui Province, the PRC, where Anhui Jucheng’s registered office is located.
On the same date, we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng, but still retained an investment in and
significant influence over Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng then became an equity method affiliate company of us.
Private Placement
On
February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange, we completed a private placement transaction pursuant to a securities
purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) and sold 787,342 units at a purchase price
of $35 per unit, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 7,086,078 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) convertible into the same number of shares of common stock, (b) 787,342
shares of common stock, (c) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50
per share for a three-year period, and (d) Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise
price of $5.75 per share for a three-year period. We also issued to the placement agent in the private placement (i) warrants to
purchase 787,342 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common
stock, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 196,836 shares of common stock, which expire in three years on February 26, 2013.
We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $27.56 million from the private placement.
Basis of preparation and consolidation and use of estimates
Our
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures
necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring
nature, have been included. The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of March 31, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though we believe that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Our
condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our company and our subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company transactions and balances between our company and our subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with
US GAAP. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and
results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes
from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the control of management. As a result, they are subject
to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate
assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future
business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information
provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Refer to note 2 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements contained herein for a detail discussion of our critical accounting policies. The following discusses our
most significant accounting policies and estimates.
l
Investment
in equity method affiliate company
The
equity method affiliate company that is not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, is accounted for under
the equity method of accounting in accordance to ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not we
exercise significant influence with respect to an equity method affiliate depends on an evaluation of several factors including,
among others, representation on the equity method affiliate’ s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally
a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the equity method affiliate.
Under
the equity method of accounting, our share of the earnings or losses of the equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption
“Equity in earnings of equity method affiliate” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
The amount recorded in income is adjusted to eliminate intercompany gains and losses. Our carrying value (including advance to)
in the equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Investment in and advance to equity method affiliate” in
our consolidated balance sheets. Dividends received from the unconsolidated subsidiary reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When
our carrying value in an equity method affiliate is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our consolidated financial
statements unless we guarantee obligations of the equity method affiliate or have committed additional funding. When the equity
method affiliate subsequently reports income, we will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share
of losses not previously recognized.
l
Revenue
recognition
Revenue
is recognized when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”):
(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii)
the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Multiple-deliverable
arrangements
We
derive revenue from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may provide for us to deliver equipment with varied performance
specifications specific to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment.
In instances where the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables.
A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
•
|
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
|
|
•
|
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
|
|
•
|
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the company.
|
|
Our
multiple-element contracts generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for us to carry out installation, test
runs and performance tests at our cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance
period”) stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages
of the contract value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance
specifications cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return,
cancellation or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.
Our
delivered equipment has no standalone value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s
site by us in accordance with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element
contracts, we have not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is
no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment
and the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting
pursuant to ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement
generally includes customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s
site. Accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off
by the customer.
We
may also provide our customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment.
Some contracts require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the
customer upon expiration of the warranty period. For those contracts with retainage clauses, we defer the recognition of the
amounts retained as revenue until expiration of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. We have not
provided for warranty costs for those contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based
on historical experience.
Product only
Revenue
derived from sales contracts that require delivery of products only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers.
Titles to the products pass to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.
Software sale
We
recognize revenue from the delivery of software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC
Topic 985, Software (formerly Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended) and in accordance with
SAB 104. Costs of software revenue include amortization of software copyrights.
Service
We
recognize revenue from provision of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with SAB 104.
We
are subject to business tax of 5% and value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for services provided and products sold in
the PRC, respectively. We present our revenue net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as discounts
and returns. There were no product returns for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
l
Income
taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740. ASC Topic 740 requires an asset and liability approach
for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon
the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes
are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax
assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefits, or that future
deductibility is uncertain.
Our
income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in
the locations where we operate. We assess potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of ASC 740-10-25-5
through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized
is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
l
Foreign
currency
We
have evaluated the determination of our functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,”
which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
Historically,
the sales and purchase contracts of our Hong Kong subsidiaries have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar.
Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been
determined that the functional currency of our Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Historically,
the sales and purchase contracts of our PRC subsidiaries have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful
currency of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries is Renminbi.
On
our own, we raise financing in the U.S. dollar, pay our own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expect to receive
any dividends that may be declared by our subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, which are wholly foreign-owned
enterprises with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in the U.S. dollar.
Therefore,
it has been determined that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators,
in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
We
use the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes.
Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic
environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than
the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items
on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting
period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements
are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Our
PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not
be freely convertible into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the
purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s
Bank of China and are as follows:

Non-GAAP Measures
To
supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with the
Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also provided non-GAAP measures
of income before income tax, net income, net income available to common stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings per share
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, which are adjusted from
results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash gain and the related deferred income tax expense recorded, which are related to
the gain on deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and the non-cash charge recorded, which
related to the fair value of the escrow share allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated as a deemed dividend, and a deduction
of net income available to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010. The non-GAAP financial measures
are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of our current performance in on-going core operations as well as
prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP information
in evaluating and operating business internally and therefore deem it important to provide all of this information to investors.
The
following table presents reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2011: (All amounts in US dollar)

We
generated our revenue from delivery of industrial equipment with the related technical engineering services (including but not
limited to installation, integration and system testing), sales of software products, providing software related technical services,
providing other technical consultancy services and sales of chemical products. If sales of equipment and the related technical
services or sales of software products and the related technical services are included in one agreement as a total solution package,
we have neither objective nor reliable evidence for us to separate our total revenue amount into separate categories. Therefore,
the revenue amount indicated as technical services in the above table was calculated based on the total revenue amount of stand-alone
technical consultancy service agreements.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our total net revenue increased to US$110.62 million from US$100.55 million for the same
period of 2010. Without regard to the US$12.03 million and US$15.33 million of net revenue generated from sales of chemical products,
which were operated by Anhui Jucheng, and are discussed separately below, our total net revenue increased to US$98.59 million
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from US$85.22 million for the same period of 2010.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, our total net revenue increased to US$64.95 million from US$48.08 million for the same
period of 2010. Without regard to the US$6.84 million of net revenue generated from sales of chemical products for the three months
ended December 31, 2010, which were operated by Anhui Jucheng, and are discussed separately below, our total revenue increased
to US$64.95 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to US$41.24 million for the same period of 2010.
The
increase in the total net revenue for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 was mainly due to the increase in the
net revenue generated from sales and installation of equipment projects, which resulted from the increase in the number of projects
completed during the periods as compared to the same periods of last year.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we achieved approximately US$83.89 million of equipment sales and installation revenue,
as compared to US$72.82 million for the same period of 2010. We completed 84 projects related to sales and installation of equipment
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 57 projects for the same period of 2010.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, we achieved approximately US$61.50 million of equipment sales and installation revenue,
as compared to US$32.79 million for the same period of 2010. We completed 45 projects related to sales and installation of equipment
for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 31 projects for the same period of 2010.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we sold 85 sets and 32 sets of our data processing software and provided the
related implementation services, and achieved approximately US$8.71 million and US$2.81 million of software revenue, respectively.
In addition, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we also achieved approximately US$2.37 million from software sales and
technical consultancy services, which related to a purchased software use right and the related training and application program;
for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we also achieved approximately US$8.39 million of software revenue in relation to
a software sales and technical implementation contracts we signed with China Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Institute
(CPPEI), a direct subsidiary of Petro China Company Limited (“PetroChina”), which related to a special ordered software
we purchased and customized for PetroChina and mainly used for the production planning and products distribution management system,
which covered approximately 200 end users of the logistics dispatch command centers of PetroChina in Beijing and six other provinces
across China.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, we sold 20 sets of our data processing software and provided the related implementation
services, and achieved approximately US$2.11 million of software revenue and approximately US$0.08 million of software revenue
related to the purchased software use right. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we achieved the US$8.39 million of
software revenue from the software contact we signed with CPPEI as discussed above.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$3.62 million and US$1.20 million of technical consultancy
services revenue, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$1.26 million
and US$0.06 million of technical consultancy services revenue, respectively. For the nine and three months ended December 31,
2011, our technical consultancy services revenue achieved were mainly related to the Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”)
consultancy services revenue. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our technical consultancy services revenue achieved
were mainly related to the separate software pre-installation test services contact included in the CPPEI software contract as
discussed above.
As
of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had 22 and 28 signed but uncompleted contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of
approximately US$46.9 million and US$47.0 million, respectively. We have served the Chinese petroleum and petrochemical industries
since 2004 through our PRC operating subsidiaries. We established and developed our relationships with international industrial
equipment manufacturers, such as Cameron, DeltaValve and Poyam Valves. We also analyzed the domestic market and the local customers’
needs. As a result, we are one of the few domestic companies able to provide localized services for international companies lacking
local offices in China. This process also allowed us to meet the high standards and requirements set by our customers, the major
petroleum and petrochemical companies in China, and to become an approved vendor. Along with the rapid growth of the petroleum
and petrochemical industries and the rapid growth of the fixed asset investments within these industries, we successfully increased
the scope of projects performed for our customers from the second half of our fiscal year 2009 and in our fiscal years 2010 and
2011. Recently, we successfully developed our relationship with several new suppliers, such as ABB, Sandvik, MAC-Clyde, GE and
Finder Pompes S.A.S. to distribute their products to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies, which expanded our
ability to bid for a broader range of products and services while meeting more of our customers’ needs.
Our
equity method affiliate company, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling the industrial chemical product,
Polyacrylamide. Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in the following areas: (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater
disposal and sewage treatments; (3) auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant for river water treatments. On
July 5, 2010, we acquired a 51% equity interest of Anhui Jucheng and Anhui Jucheng became our majority-owned subsidiary. On August
30, 2011, our equity ownership of Anhui Jucheng decreased from 51% to 39.13% as a result of a total investment of RMB142 million
(approximately $22.23 million) contributed by six independent Chinese Equity Funds, who in the aggregate obtained a 23.28% equity
interest of Anhui Jucheng. We then ceased to have a controlling interest in Anhui Jucheng. Therefore, Anhui Jucheng’s results
of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
For
the period from April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 5,156 tons of Polyacrylamide products
and achieved approximately US$12.03 million of net revenue. For the period from July 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Anhui
Jucheng sold approximately 7,813 tons of Polyacrylamide products and achieved approximately US$15.33 million of net revenue. For
the three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 3,609 tons of Polyacrylaminde products, and achieved
approximately US$6.84 million of net revenue.
Cost of sales:
Cost
of sales consists of the equipment purchase cost recognized in-line with the related contract revenue, the amortization amount
of our software copyright, and the purchase cost of software use right and software training courses related to the software sales
and technical services contract we signed with our customers. Other direct installation and testing costs related to the software
sales and direct cost of performing separate technical services were insignificant based on our historical experience as compared
to the related revenue amount. Therefore, in our normal course of business, we do not consider it necessary to separate these
direct costs from our total operating expenses.
As
stated above, Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
Cost of sales of Anhui Jucheng represented the manufacturing cost of the chemical product, Polyacrylamide, sold in each reporting
period, which mainly consists of raw material cost (mainly acrylonitrile, acrylic acid and acrylamide solution), salary cost of
the manufacturing department and other manufacturing overhead such as electricity, water, depreciation and other manufacturing
supplies.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$84.25 million from US$78.78 million for the same
period of 2010. Without regard to the cost of sales of US$11.16 million and US$14.16 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the
nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, our total cost of sales increased to US$73.10 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to US$64.62 million for the same period of 2010.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, our total cost of sales increased to US$52.54 million from US$39.35 million for the
same period of 2010. Without regard to the cost of sales of US$6.36 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the three months ended
December 31, 2010, our total cost of sales increased to US$52.54 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared
to US$32.99 million for the same period of 2010.
The
increase of the cost of sales for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same periods of 2010 was
mainly due to the increase of the cost of sales associated with the equipment sales and installation contracts and was consistent
with the increase of our equipment sales and installation net revenue achieved for the nine and three months ended December 31,
2011 as compared to the same periods of 2010.

Without
regard to the gross profit generated by Anhui Jucheng, which is discussed separately below, for the nine months ended December
31, 2011, our gross profit increased to US$25.49 million as compared to US$20.60 million for the same period of 2010. For the
three months ended December 31, 2011, our gross profit increased to US$12.41 million as compared to US$8.25 million for the same
period of 2010. The level of our overall gross margin was mainly affected by (1) the relative percentage of our separate software
sales and technical consultancy services volume for each reporting period, which contributed a much higher gross margin as compared
to that of the equipment sales and installation contracts; and (2) the overall average gross margin of our equipment sales and
installation projects completed for each reporting period, which normally constituted the majority of our total revenue amount,
especially on an annual basis.
Our
overall gross margins were 25.9% and 19.1% for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 24.2% and 20.0%
for the same periods of 2010. The increase of our overall gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was mainly
due to the increase of the gross margin achieved from our software revenue as compared to the same periods of 2010. The decrease
of our overall gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was mainly due to the decrease of the relative percentages
of our separate software and technical consultancy services revenue achieved over the total revenue recognized for the period
as compared to the same periods of 2010.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross margin of our equipment sales and installation contacts was 16% and
19%, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross margin of our equipment sales and installation
contacts was 15% and 16%, respectively. The overall annual average gross margin of our equipment sales and installation projects
for the past three fiscal years was approximately 18%. The decrease of the overall average equipment sales and installation gross
margin for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the annual average margin for the past three fiscal
years was mainly due to the increasing competition in this business segment.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the relative percentage of our separate software sales and technical consultancy
services volume over the total net revenue we achieved (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng) were both 15%, and the overall gross
margin for our separate software sales and technical services were 85% and 52%, respectively, which was the main reason for the
increase of our overall gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. For the
three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the percentage of our separate software sales and technical consultancy services
volume over the total net revenue we achieved (excluding the sales of Anhui Jucheng) were 5% and 21%, respectively, which was
the main reason for the decrease of our overall gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same
period of 2010, and the overall gross margin for our separate software sales and technical services were 93% and 34%, respectively.
For data processing software revenue, the gross profit is normally between 85%-95%, depending on the volume of software packages
sold during each reporting period. For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2010, the significant decrease of the software
gross margin as compared to the same periods of 2011 was mainly due to the US$8.39 million software revenue recognized for the
CPPEI contact as discussed above (approximately 75% and 100% of the total software sales revenue for the nine and three months
ended December 31, 2010), which gross margin was only 35%.
We
believe that our overall gross margin is typically between 20%-30% on a fiscal year basis, based on our existing business models.
As discussed above, on a quarterly basis, our overall gross margin might not be stable and comparable to each other, which was
mainly because of the different percentage of the software and technical services revenue and the equipment sales and installation
revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period), which contribute a very different gross margin as compared with each other.
For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our overall gross margin is lower than the annual average as discussed above, which
was mainly due to the relative percentage of the equipment sales and installation revenue, which contributes much lower gross
margin as compared with other revenue source, reached approximately 95% of the total net revenue recognized in this period. However,
for the past three fiscal years, this percentage was approximately 85%-90% on an annual basis.

As
stated above, Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
There was no material fluctuation of the overall gross margin achieved by Anhui Jucheng for the periods when its results of operations
were consolidated by us.
With
the RMB142 million of cash investment contributed by the six independent third party investors, Anhui Jucheng is now in the progress
of expanding its production facilities, which is expected to be completed in early 2012. According to management’s expectation,
Anhui Jucheng’s total production capacities will be increased to 60,000 metric tons per annum from its current production
capacities of 18,000 metric tons per annum. Meanwhile, management is also making efforts to sell Anhui Jucheng’s products
to end users directly in the future, instead of selling through distributors. If this can be achieved, we believe Anhui Jucheng’s
gross margin will improve to approximately 15%-20%.
Operating expense
Our
operating expenses include: selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Equipment sales and installation, software

Selling expenses:
Our
selling expenses decreased to US$1.15 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from US$1.42 million for the same period
of 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our selling expenses decreased to US$0.64 million from US$1.16 million
for the same period of 2010. Our selling expenses mainly include freight, marketing research and development expenses, salary
expenses and traveling expenses of our sales department.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011: (1) salary expenses and other staff related benefits increased by approximately US$0.17
million, which was mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, the newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011; (2) traveling
expenses, entertainment expenses, communication expenses and other general office expenses of our sales department also increased
by approximately US$0.11 million for the same reason; (3) freight decreased by approximately US$0.05 million; and (4) market research
and development expenses decreased by approximately US$0.50 million as compared to the same period of 2010, as we capitalized
on our prior years’ efforts in the marketing activities, which allowed us to spend less marketing expenses for the nine
months ended December 31, 2011. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the decrease of the selling expenses as compared
to the same period of 2010 was also mainly due to the decrease of the market research and development expenses for approximately
US$0.57 million.
According
to our past experience, we believe the percentage of our total selling expenses compared to the total net revenue recognized for
each reporting period is immaterial (normally less than 3%-5% of the total revenue) and may not be stable and comparable on a
quarterly basis, because our average total solution business cycle is normally from six months to twelve months, and a significant
portion of our sales activities (including but not limited to attending bidding invitation meetings, providing customers surveys
and analysis, presenting proposals to customers, and finalizing total solution packages with customers) were performed before
the contracts were signed, in consideration of the pre-market activities that may not generate revenue. In accordance with the
principles set by GAAP, our expenses for the “pre-contract” stage were expensed and recorded in earnings when they
incurred. Therefore, the amount of “pre-contract” expenses directly related to the marketing activities and number
of contracts we anticipated during each reporting period, but not related to the corresponding contract revenue being recognized.
General and administrative expenses:
Our
general and administrative expenses decreased to US$1.86 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from US$1.95 million
for the same period of 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses increased to
US$0.82 million from US$0.44 million for the same period of 2010. Our general and administrative expenses mainly include: (1)
salary and benefits for management and administrative departments (finance, importation, human resources and administration);
(2) office rental and other administrative supplies; (3) management’s traveling expenses; (4) general communication and
entertainment expenses; and (5) professional service charges (including but not limited to legal, audits, financial consultancy
and investor relations).
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, (1) rental expenses decreased by approximately US$0.02 million mainly due to the decrease
of office space leased for our HK subsidiaries from September 2010; (2) salary expenses and the related staff welfare increased
by approximately US$0.12 million mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, our newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011;
(3) general office administration expenses decreased by approximately US$0.04 million mainly due to the decease of general office
expenses of our HK subsidiaries, because we engaged a third party service provider to help us handle the contract settlement transactions
with the commercial banks in HK. However, start from the second half of our fiscal 2011, we began to gradually handled of these
transactions with our HK banks without any assistance from third parties; (4) bank handling charges related to the contract settlement
transaction increased by approximately US$0.06 million, due to the overall increase of our equipment sales and installation contracts
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010; and (5) professional services charges and
share based compensation expenses decreased by approximately US$0.21 million, as we gradually trained our own staff to handle
more duties in relation to these matters and decreased the related out-sourced professional service charges as compared with the
same period of last year.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, (1) salary expenses and the related staff welfare increased by approximately US$0.06
million mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, our newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011; (2) rental expenses
increased by approximately US$0.04 million mainly due to the increase of the office space and staff dormitory for Beijing Hongteng,
our HK subsidiaries moved to the new office from September 2010, therefore, the decrease of the office space and rental expenses
for our HK subsidiaries as discussed for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 did not have any impact on the rental expenses
for the three months ended December 31, 2011; (3) general office administration expenses increased by approximately US$0.03 million
mainly due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, which increase is higher than the decrease of our HK subsidiaries out-sourced
bank handling services charges as discussed for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as our HK offices had started to gradually
decrease this out-sourced services from the third fiscal quarter of our fiscal 2011; (4) bank handling charges related to the
contract settlement transaction increased by approximately US$0.22 million, due to the significant increase of our equipment sales
and installation contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010; and (5) other
miscellaneous charges increased by approximately US$0.03 million.
Research and development expenses:
Research
and development expenses represent the salary expenses and other related expenses of our research and development department.
Our research and development expenses increased to US$0.29 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from US$0.19 million
for the same period of 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our research and development expenses increased to
US$0.11 million from US$0.07 million for the same period of 2010. The increase of our research and development expenses was mainly
due to the increase of such expenses of Beijing Hongteng, our newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011. We expect our research
and development expenses to increase in the future as we plan to hire additional R&D personnel to strengthen the functionality
of our current software products, develop additional competitive industrial software products and provide more software related
technical consultancy services.

Value added tax refund:
Our
PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been recognized by the PRC government as a software enterprise. The standard value added
tax rate for sales of products of PRC enterprises is 17%. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software
enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect to sales of software products. This refund
is regarded as subsidy income granted by the PRC government and we recognize the value added tax refund as other income only when
it has been received. There is no condition to the use of the refund received. We received approximately US$nil and US$1.93 million
of value added tax refund for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended December
31, 2011 and 2010, we received approximately US$nil and US$1.56 million of value added tax refund, respectively.
Gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary:
The deconsolidation of
Anhui Jucheng occurred on August 30, 2011 was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”. For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a non-cash gain of approximately US$30.41 million upon deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income with a corresponding increase to the carrying
value of the investment in Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated balance sheet. This deconsolidation gain represents the excess of
the fair value of our retained equity interest in Anhui Jucheng, which is 39.13% over its carrying value as of the date of deconsolidation.
Other:
For
the periods from April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng achieved approximately US$0.12 million of other income from
selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies. For the period from July 5, 2010 and through December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng
received approximately US$0.46 million subsidy income and awards from its provincial and regional governments for its technology
contribution and development in the polyacrylamide production field and achieved approximately US$0.08 million other income from
selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Anhui Jucheng received approximately
US$0.19 million subsidy income and awards from its provincial and regional governments for its technology contribution and development
in the polyacrylamide production field and achieved approximately US$0.05 million other income from selling of scrap raw materials
and other supplies.
Income before income tax
As
a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our income before income tax increased to US$50.86 million.
Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain recognized upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended
December 31, 2011, our income before income tax increased to US$20.45 million, of which approximately US$20.59 million was generated
from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and our sales of chemical products incurred
an approximately US$0.14 million loss before income tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to US$18.59 million
of income before income tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, US$18.12 million of which was generated from our equipment
sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.47 million was generated from our sale of chemical products.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, our income before income tax increased to US$10.42 million, which was all generated
from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, as compared to US$7.71 million of income before
income tax for the three months ended December 31, 2010, US$7.58 million of which was generated from our equipment sales and installation,
software sales and technical services, and US$0.13 million was generated from our sale of chemical products.
Income tax expenses
The
entities within our company file separate tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
Under
the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax,
and the residence of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries are generally subject to Hong Kong profits
tax on their taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Beijing
JianXin, being established in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant
PRC tax authority as a software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday
through EIT exemption (from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction
on its EIT rate for the three ensuing calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Beijing
Hongteng is subject to 25% income tax for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011.
No
provision for other overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin
Islands.
The
new income tax law in China imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to
its immediate holding company outside China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the new income
tax law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As our subsidiaries
in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to us for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no deferred tax liability has
been recognized for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011. Total undistributed
earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were RMB612,547,228 ($97,215,831) and RMB345,042,882
($52,626,881), respectively.
Income
tax expenses increased for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, which was mainly due to the expiration of the EIT
exemption period of Beijing JianXin. From January 1, 2011, Beijing JianXin is subject to 12.5% EIT until December 31, 2013.
We
also recognized an approximate US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense for the deconsolidation gain recognized upon deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, which was calculated based on the approximate US$30.41 million deconsolidation gain and an
income tax rate of 25%, the enacted tax rate that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Equity in earnings of equity method affiliate
Upon
deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, which occurred on August 30, 2011, we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui
Jucheng and Anhui Jucheng became an equity method affiliate company of us. Therefore, in accordance with ASC Topic 323 “Equity
Method and Joint Ventures”, for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized our pro-rata share of income
incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the period from August 31, 2011 and October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, which was approximately
US$0.60 million and US$0.69 million, respectively, in our consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, with a corresponding
increase to the carrying value of the long-term investment in Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated balance sheet. The net income
achieved by Anhui Jucheng for the period from August 31, 2011 and October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 was mainly the subsidy
income received from its local government to support the construction of the new production facilities of Anhui Jucheng.
Net income
As
a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our net income increased to US$41.20 million. Without
regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and the related US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense recognized upon deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our net income increased to US$18.39 million, of which approximately
US$17.86 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and approximately
US$0.53 million was generated from our sales of chemical products, as compared to US$18.48 million of net income for the nine
months ended December 31, 2010, US$18.12 million of which was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales
and technical services and US$0.36 million was generated from our sale of chemical products.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2011, our net income increased to US$9.80 million, of which approximately US$9.11 million
was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and approximately US$0.69 million
was generated from our sales of chemical products, as compared to US$7.68 million of net income for the three months ended December

Income attributable to non-controlling
interests
As
stated above, Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
During the period that Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations was consolidated by us, net income or loss generated from Anhui
Jucheng was allocated to the non-controlling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng based on his respective percentage of the ownership
in the entity , which was 49%, during that period. Therefore, for the period from April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, approximately
US$0.08 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net loss incurred was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling interest shareholder of
Anhui Jucheng. For the period from July 5, 2010 and October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, approximately US$0.17 million and
US$0.05 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net income was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling interest shareholder of Anhui Jucheng,
respectively.
Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders
Net
income minus income attributable to noncontrolling interests is net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders. For the nine
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to LianDI Clean stockholders was US$41.28 million and US$18.31 million,
respectively. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and the related US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense
recognized upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net income available
to LianDi Clean stockholders was approximately US$18.47 million and US$18.31 million, respectively. For the three months ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was US$9.80 million and US$7.63 million, respectively.

The
amount of the escrow shares allocated to preferred stock is accreted similar to a dividend to the preferred stock, regardless
of the probability of meeting 2011 net income targets, over the period from the date of issuance of securities in the private
placement to March 31, 2011, using the effective interest method. Accretion of such preferred stock deemed dividend for the nine
and three months ended December 31, 2010 was approximately US$3.01 million and US$1.06 million, respectively, which was recorded
as a deduction to the net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean for the nine and three months ended December
31, 2010. No further accretion was required after March 31, 2011.
Preferred stock dividend
In
accordance with the securities purchase agreement we entered into with our investors on February 26, 2010, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%. The amount of the preferred stock dividend
we accrued was calculated by the liquidation preference amount of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was US$3.50 per share, and
the actual number of days each share was outstanding within the reporting period. Total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately
US$1.06 million and US$1.43 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$0.35 million and US$0.45 million, respectively.
Net income available to common stockholders
of LianDi Clean
Net
income available to LianDi Clean stockholders minus preferred stock deemed dividend and preferred stock cash dividend is net income
available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to
common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$40.22 million and US$13.87 million, respectively. Without regard to the
US$30.41 million non-cash gain and the related US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense recognized upon deconsolidation of
Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and the US$3.01 million preferred stock deemed dividend recognized
for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our adjusted net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was US$17.41
million and US$16.88 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, net income available to common
stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$9.46 million and US$6.12 million, respectively. Without regard to the US$1.06
million preferred stock deemed dividend recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2010, for the three months ended December
31, 2011 and 2010, our adjusted net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was US$9.46 million and US$7.18 million,
respectively.
B. Liquidity and capital resources
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
US$53.04 million.
Our
liquidity needs include: net cash used in operating activities, which mainly consists of: (a) cash required for importing the
equipment to be distributed to our customers and cash required for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, to purchase raw
materials for the manufacturing of chemical products, before Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated; (b) related freight and other distribution
expenses for our shipments of equipment to customers and manufacturing expenses for the production of chemical products, before
Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated; and (c) our general working capital needs, which include payment for staff salary and benefits,
payment for office rent and other administrative supplies. Our net cash used in investing activities mainly consists of the investments
in computers and other office equipment, investment in purchasing of the oil sludge cleaning equipment and upgrading and enhancing
the existing manufacturing facilities for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, before Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During
and subsequent to the reporting period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. 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 Act 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.
Based
on this evaluation and as discussed below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect on December 31, 2011 were not effective, as
we do not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to properly account for the deferred tax expense and deferred tax
liability in relation to the gain realized upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary. In response to the above-identified material
weakness and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we plan to make necessary changes by
providing training to our finance team and our other relevant personnel on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidance
applicable to our financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third fiscal quarter of 2012 covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
