OUR COMPANY
Company Background
We are a holding company that provides downstream flow equipment
and engineering services to China’s leading petroleum and petrochemical companies. Prior to the consummation of the share
exchange transaction described below, we were a shell company with nominal operations and nominal assets. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
China LianDi, was established in July 2004 to serve the largest Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies. Through our operating
subsidiaries, which are Hua Shen HK, PEL HK, Bright Flow, Hongteng HK, Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, we: (i) distribute
a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, including unheading units for the delayed coking process, as
well as provide associated value-added technical services; (ii) provide systems integration services; (iii) develop and market
proprietary optimization software; and (iv) distribute and lease oil sludge cleaning equipment and provide oil sludge cleaning
services, which we expect to be launched in fiscal 2013. We are also engaged in manufacturing and selling of industrial chemical
products through our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng. Our products and services are provided both bundled or individually,
depending on the needs of the customer.
Our objectives are to enhance the reputation of our brand, continue
our growth and strengthen our position in production automation and process optimization, as well as clean and advanced technology
for the petroleum and petrochemical industry in China. In the next three years, we intend to expand the range of the industrial
equipment to be delivered to our customers, which we expect will expand our ability to bid for a broader range of projects while
meeting more of our customers’ needs. We intend to strengthen our optimization software for the efficiency and safety of
the production and management processes for petroleum and petrochemical companies, enhancing its function and reliability. We also
intend to expand and further develop our long-term relationships with our customers, helping them reduce their production costs
and increase the efficiency and safety of their facilities.
Our Operating Subsidiaries and Equity Method Affiliate
Hua Shen HK is a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region of the PRC and was incorporated in 1999. Beginning in 2005, Hua Shen HK started to distribute industrial
equipment for the petroleum and petrochemical industry in China. Currently, Hua Shen HK is a qualified supplier for China Petroleum
& Chemical Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, SinoChem Corporation
and ChemChina Group Corporation.
PEL HK was established in Hong Kong under the laws of Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region of the PRC in 2007. This company primarily distributes petroleum and petrochemical equipment and
provides related technical services. Currently, PEL HK is a qualified supplier for China National Petroleum Corporation, China
National Offshore Oil Corporation, SinoChem Corporation, ChemChina Group Corporation and China Shenhua Energy Company Limited.
Bright Flow was established in Hong Kong under the laws of Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC in 2007. This company is mainly engaged in the distribution of petrochemical equipment.
Hongteng HK was established in Hong Kong under the laws of Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC in 2009. In December 2010, we acquired a 100% interest in Hongteng HK (including
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Hongteng) from Mr. Jianzhong Zuo, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman.
Beijing JianXin was incorporated in Beijing, PRC in May 2008,
and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEL HK. Beijing JianXin is primarily engaged in distributing industrial oil and gas equipment
and providing related technical and engineering services, developing and marketing optimization software and providing clean technology
solutions for the delayed coking industry.
Beijing Hongteng was incorporated in Beijing, PRC in January
2010, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hongteng HK. Beijing Hongteng is primarily engaged in delivering industrial equipment
with the related integration and technical services, developing and marketing software, and providing other technical consultancy
services for petrochemical, petroleum and other energy companies in the production safety management field, including distributing
and leasing of oil sludge cleaning equipment and providing oil sludge cleaning services, which we expect to be launched in fiscal
2013.
Anhui Jucheng was incorporated in Anhui, PRC in January 2005.
On July 5, 2010, we acquired a 51% interest in Anhui Jucheng and it became our majority-owned subsidiary through August 30, 2011.
On August 30, 2011, as approved by the shareholders of Anhui Jucheng, six unaffiliated third party investors invested in the aggregate
of RMB142 million (approximately $22.23 million) in cash in Anhui Jucheng, and obtained a 23.28% equity interest in the increased
registered capital of Anhui Jucheng. As a result, our share of the equity interests in Anhui Jucheng decreased from 51% to 39.13%
and we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng, but still retained an investment in, and a significant
influence over, Anhui Jucheng. Accordingly, Anhui Jucheng became an equity method affiliate of ours. Anhui Jucheng is primarily
engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemicals and high polymer fine chemicals with related technical
services.
Organizational Structure
Share Exchange Agreement
On February 26, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), we entered
into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s
shareholders, SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of SJI Inc., a Jasdaq listed company organized under the laws of Japan, China Liandi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Limited,
a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Hua Shen Trading (International) Limited, a company organized
under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Rapid Capital Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British
Virgin Islands, Dragon Excel Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and TriPoint Capital
Advisors, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Maryland (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) Reed Buley, our former principal stockholder. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China
LianDi Shareholders transferred to us all of the China LianDi Shares in exchange for 27,354,480 shares of our common stock (such
transaction, the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, we are now a holding company, which through
our operating companies in the PRC, provide downstream flow equipment and engineering services, optimization software packages,
clean and advanced industrial technology based equipment and services to the leading petroleum and petrochemical companies in the
PRC.
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 private placement described below,
we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. China LianDi also deposited $275,000 into an escrow account which amount was paid
to Buley, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, we changed our fiscal year
end from December 31 to March 31 to conform to the fiscal year end of China LianDi.
Private Placement
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share Exchange,
we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) for the issuance
and sale in a private placement of 787,342 units (the “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 (the “Conversion Shares”), (b) 787,342
shares of common stock (the “Issued Shares”), (c) three-year Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”)
to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share (the “Series A Warrant Shares”),
and (d) three-year Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”)
to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “Series B Warrant Shares”
and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$27.56 million (the “Private Placement”). The issuance of the Units was exempt from registration pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into
a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, in which we agreed to file
a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Issued Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares within
30 calendar days of the Closing Date, and to have such registration statement declared effective within 180 calendar days of the
Closing Date. We agreed to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as
is the earlier of the date when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or the date on which
such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule144. If we do not comply with the foregoing obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay cash liquidated damages to each investor, at the rate of 2% of the
applicable subscription amount for each 30 day period in which we are not in compliance; provided, that such liquidated damages
will be capped at 10% of the subscription amount of each investor and will not apply to any shares that may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or are subject to an SEC comment with respect to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 20, 2010 and remains effective as of the date of this prospectus.
We also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the Investors
(the “Securities Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd., an
affiliate of Jianzhong Zuo, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares
of common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 adjusted
net income performance threshold of $20.5 million.
Our net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for
the purposes of the Securities Escrow Agreement was $24.1 million and exceeded the 2011 performance threshold. Therefore, the escrow
shares were released to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. on August 24, 2011.
On the Closing Date, we and China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering
Technology Ltd., entered into a lock-up agreement whereby such entity is prohibited from selling our securities until six (6) months
after the effective date of the registration statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement. For one (1)
year thereafter, it will be permitted to sell up to one-twelfth (1/12) of its initial holdings every month.
On February 26, 2012, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock were converted into the same number of shares of our common stock.
Name Change
Prior to April 1, 2010, our company name was Remediation Services,
Inc. For the sole purpose of changing our name, on April 1, 2010, we merged into a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary incorporated
under the laws of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to LianDi
Clean Technology Inc.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock is speculative and involves
a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information
contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, before deciding to invest in our
Common Stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of
our Common Stock could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
Key employees are essential to growing our business.
Jianzhong Zuo, Jintai Zhao, and Junheng Su are essential to
our ability to continue to grow our business. These individuals have established key relationships with customers and suppliers
within the industries in which we operate. If one or more of these key employees were to leave us, our relationships with our customers
and suppliers may become strained, and our growth strategy might be hindered, which could limit our ability to increase revenue.
In addition, we face competition for attracting skilled personnel.
If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel to meet current and future needs, this could slow our ability to grow our
business, which could result in a decrease in market share.
We may need additional capital and we may not be able to
obtain it at acceptable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
We may need additional cash resources due to changed business
conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt
service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms
is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including, but not limited to the following, and therefore may never occur:
|
·
|
investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of similar oil and gas equipment and services companies in China;
|
|
·
|
conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
|
|
·
|
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;
|
|
·
|
PRC governmental regulation of foreign investment in oil and gas equipment and services companies in China;
|
|
·
|
economic, political and other conditions in China; and
|
|
·
|
PRC governmental policies relating to foreign currency borrowings.
|
We rely on computer software and hardware systems in managing
our operations, the failure of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent upon our computer software and hardware systems
in supporting our network and managing and monitoring programs on the network. In addition, we rely on our computer hardware for
the storage, delivery and transmission of the data on our network. Any system failure which interrupts the input, retrieval and
transmission of data or increases the service time could disrupt our normal operation. Any failure in our computer software or
hardware systems could decrease our revenues and harm our relationships with our customers, which in turn could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers could adversely
impact our distribution capabilities or increase our costs, which could harm our reputation or materially and adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We import high-quality petroleum and petrochemical valves and
other equipment from a limited number of third-party suppliers, including Cameron, DeltaValve, Poyam Valves, Rotork, Bornemann,
Metso, Ruhrpumpen, ABB, Sandvik, GE and Finder Pompes., and distribute them to our domestic clients who are large petroleum and
petrochemical companies located and operating in China. The failure of a supplier to supply valves and other equipment satisfying
our quality, quantity and cost requirements in a timely and efficient manner could impair our ability to distribute these products,
increase our costs, and have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain our client network of domestic buyers of this machinery.
The third-party suppliers from whom we import petroleum and petrochemical valves and other equipment have not committed, contractually
or otherwise, to distribute their products through us on an exclusive or a non-exclusive basis. If we fail to maintain our relationships
with these suppliers or fail to develop new relationships with other suppliers, we may only be able to distribute these products
at a higher cost or after lengthy delays, or may not be able to distribute these products at all. If our suppliers identify alternative
sales channels, they may choose to sell to other buyers or raise their prices. As a result, we may be compelled to pay higher prices
to secure our product supply, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although our continuing relationships with products manufacturers
and suppliers are important components of our future growth plan, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be a distributor
for such manufacturers, on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, or that we will in the future successfully consummate the expansion
and investment opportunities that we seek.
In the past, we have had a strong working relationship with
our products’ manufacturers/suppliers and have acted as the sole distributor of some of these products in China. Although
we believe that our relationship with the products’ manufacturers and suppliers will continue, there is no assurance that
we will retain our position as sole distributor of certain products, or as a distributor of their products. The manufacturers and
suppliers may decide to provide licenses to distribute their products to our competitors and/or may not renew our licenses with
them on terms favorable to us or at all. Furthermore, although we continually explore many potential expansion and investment opportunities
in our industry with third parties, there can be no assurance that the opportunities that we pursue will ultimately be consummated,
or appropriately licensed and approved. In such circumstances, we may be required to pursue other opportunities at lower margins,
which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In the past several years we have derived a significant portion
of our revenues from a small group of customers. If we are to remain dependent upon only a few customers, such dependency could
negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our customer base has been highly concentrated. For the years
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, our two largest customers accounted for 76% and 67% of our total sales, respectively, and the
single largest customer accounted for 49% and 35% of our total sales, respectively. As our customer base may change from year-to-year,
during such years that the customer base is highly concentrated, the loss of, or reduction of our sales to, any of such major customers
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Many of the contracts that we enter into with purchasers
of our products contain liquidated damages provisions for up to 10% of the contract value which, if enforced, would have a negative
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
It is customary in our industry for purchase agreements to contain
liquidated damages provisions and many of the purchase agreements that we enter into to sell our products contain provisions requiring
us to pay a penalty for delays in delivery of our products in the amount of 1% of the contract value for each week delivery is
delayed, up to a maximum penalty of 10% of the contract value. We have never had an instance where a purchaser of our products
has enforced this or similar liquidated damages provisions for delivery delays, but we can make no assurance that we will not have
such provisions enforced against us in the future. Any enforcement of liquidated damages provisions by our customers would have
a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have limited insurance coverage.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of
development. Insurance companies in China offer limited insurance products. We have determined that the cost of insuring
for certain risks, and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical
for us to have such insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption, litigation or property insurance
coverage for our operations in China except for insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage
to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources,
which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial
reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our
financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence
in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide
reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which
is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As a public company, we will have significant additional requirements
for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as required by Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management
report on such company’s internal control over financial reporting in its Annual Report that contains management assessment
of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing
effective internal control is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic
and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal control that is adequate to satisfy
our reporting obligations as a public company.
As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, our management has concluded that our internal controls over our financial reporting are ineffective as of March 31, 2012
due to the following material weaknesses:
·
we
do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience
in the application of some specific accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial
reporting requirements, which resulted in the restatement of one of our quarterly reports during the year ended March 31, 2012;
and
·
currently,
we do not have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC serving as
a member of our Audit Committee.
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses before March 31,
2013, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Any failure to implement and maintain improvements in the controls
over our financial reporting, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of any improvements in our controls, could result
in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting and
related regulatory filings requirements on a timely basis. Any failure to improve our internal controls to address these identified
weaknesses could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact
on the trading price of our stock.
Lack of experience as officers of publicly-traded companies
of our management team may hinder our ability to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop
and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional
financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff or consultants in order to develop and implement appropriate internal
controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements,
we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies
to obtain.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public
company.
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting
and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and
regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming
and costly. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We are currently
evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional
costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business
Uncertainties with respect to government regulations applicable
to our business could have a material and adverse effect on us.
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation
and application of the PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business
and our ownership of equity interest in our PRC subsidiaries. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject
to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted
laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations
that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations
of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance.
In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to our PRC subsidiaries by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at
a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations
on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any
current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required
to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and
result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly
disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our PRC subsidiaries will be subject to restrictions on dividend
payments.
We may rely on dividends and other distributions from our PRC
subsidiaries, our PRC subsidiaries, to provide us with cash flow and to meet our other obligations. Current regulations in the
PRC would permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined
in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries will be required to set aside
at least 10% (up to an aggregate amount equal to half of its registered capital) of its accumulated profits each year. Such cash
reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future,
the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.
PRC regulations on loans and direct investments by overseas
holding companies in PRC entities may delay or prevent us to make overseas loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC
subsidiaries.
Under the PRC laws, foreign investors may make loans to their
PRC subsidiaries or foreign investors may make additional capital contributions to their PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to such PRC
subsidiaries are subject to the PRC regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations. Loans by foreign investors to their PRC
subsidiaries to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the State Administration of
Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local branch. Foreign investors may also decide to finance their PRC subsidiaries by means of
additional capital contributions. These capital contributions must be examined and approved by the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM,
or its local branch in advance.
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified
as a “resident enterprise” of China, and such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to
us and our non-PRC stockholders.
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress
or the NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took
effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic companies
are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%.
Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of
China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that
it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the
New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations,
personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. Because the New EIT Law and its implementing rules are new, no
official interpretation or application of this new “resident enterprise” classification is available. Therefore, it
is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are “resident
enterprises” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we
may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax
reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income
would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules
dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such
dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding
tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident
enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that “resident enterprise” classification
could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with
respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares.
Dividends we received from our PRC subsidiaries may be subject
to PRC withholding tax.
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may
be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises” and that do not have an
establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant
income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from
sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with
the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes are generally called withholding
tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules
of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are
an offshore holding company. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the
dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject
to a 10% withholding tax.
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise
tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications
of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in our combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a
material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
Our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold and pay PRC
individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If we fail to withhold or pay such
individual income tax in accordance with applicable PRC regulations, we may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties
and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
Under PRC laws, our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold
and pay individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If our PRC subsidiaries
fail to withhold and/or pay such individual income tax in accordance with PRC laws, they may be subject to certain sanctions and
other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
In addition, the State Administration of Taxation has issued
several circulars concerning employee stock options. Under these circulars, our employees working in the PRC (which could include
both PRC employees and expatriate employees subject to PRC individual income tax) who exercise stock options will be subject to
PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee stock options with relevant
tax authorities and withhold and pay individual income taxes for those employees who exercise their stock options. While tax authorities
may advise us that our policy is compliant, they may change their policy, and we could be subject to sanctions.
Regulation of foreign currency’s conversion into RMB
and investment by FIEs may adversely affect our PRC subsidiaries’ direct investment in China
On August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued a Notice of the General
Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement
of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further
regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report from a local accounting
firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the
business within its permitted business scope. Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital
to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and
has been approved by SAFE in advance.
Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings may increase
the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties.
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including
MOFCOM, the CSRC, the SASAC, the SAT, the SAIC and SAFE, jointly amended and released the New M&A Rule, which took effect as
of September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore SPV
formed for purposes of an overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies
or individuals obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock
exchange.
On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official
website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number
of documents with the CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process.
The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas
listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the
applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.
It is not clear whether the provisions in the new regulation
regarding the offshore listing and trading of the securities of a SPV applies to an offshore company such as us which owns equity
interest in the PRC Operating Entity. We believe that the New M&A Rule and the CSRC approval are not required in the context
of the Share Exchange under our transaction because (i) such Share Exchange is a purely foreign related transaction governed by
foreign laws, not subject to the jurisdiction of PRC laws and regulations; (ii) we are not a SPV formed or controlled by PRC companies
or PRC individuals; (iii) the PRC Operating Entity is a PRC wholly foreign owned enterprise, which is not owned or controlled by
PRC individuals or entities; (iv) we are owned or substantively controlled by foreigners; and (v) there is no clear requirement
in the New M&A Rule that would require an application to be submitted to the MOFCOM or the CSRC for the approval of the listing
and trading of our company on the U.S. securities market. However, we cannot be certain that the relevant PRC government agencies,
including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion, and we still cannot rule out the possibility that CSRC may deem that the transactions
effected by the Share Exchange circumvented the New M&A Rule, the PRC Securities Law and other rules and notices.
If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines
that the CSRC’s approval is required for the transaction, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency.
If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges
in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this Offering into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or
remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies
may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel the transaction.
The New M&A Rule, along with foreign exchange regulations
discussed in the above subsection, will be interpreted or implemented by the relevant government authorities in connection with
our future offshore financings or acquisitions, and we cannot predict how they will affect our acquisition strategy.
Risks Associated With Doing Business In China
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant
political and economic uncertainties.
Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation,
or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of
currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic
reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however,
that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from
time to time without notice.
We derive a substantial portion of our sales from the PRC.
Substantially all of our sales are generated from the PRC. We
anticipate that sales of our products in the PRC will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the
near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could adversely affect consumer demand of our products,
among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange
may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese
Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations
in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with
respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies
and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market.
Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and Renminbi
had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of
pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow
and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result of this policy change, Chinese Renminbi appreciated
approximately 4.0% against the U.S. dollar for the year ended March 31, 2012 and 3.95% for the year ended March 31, 2011. It is
possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation
of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar
or any other foreign currency.
The statements of income and cash flows are translated into
U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign
currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses
and net income. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency
denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income. We are also exposed to foreign exchange
rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there
is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S.
dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we
have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency.
Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain
or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in
the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully
hedge our exchange rate risks.
Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996
to allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi
into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals,
however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain all
required conversion approvals for our operations or that Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on
the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of
Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit
our ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China, or to repay foreign
currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
We may have limited legal recourse under PRC laws if disputes
arise under our contracts with third parties.
The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations dealing
with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, precedent
and experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial
claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our new business ventures are unsuccessful, or other adverse circumstances
arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the transactions,
or, may hinder or prevent us from accessing important information regarding the financial and business operations of these acquired
companies. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese
government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights
we may have to specific performance, or to seek an injunction under PRC law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and
without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring.
The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which
may make us less competitive with companies not subject to it.
We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the
purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions.
Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in mainland China. If our
competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors
an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would
put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such practices are illegal, we cannot assure you that our employees
or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found
to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties.
Changes in foreign exchange regulations in the PRC may affect
our ability to pay dividends in foreign currency or conduct other foreign exchange business.
Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency currently, and
the restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities
outside the PRC or to make dividend or other payments in United States dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion
of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Over the years, foreign exchange regulations in the PRC have significantly reduced the government’s
control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts. In the PRC, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange,
or the SAFE, regulates the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign
invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC are required to apply for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates.”
Currently, conversion within the scope of the “current account” (such as remittance of foreign currencies for payment
of dividends) can be effected without requiring the approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account”
(for capital items such as direct investments, loans, securities) still requires the approval of SAFE.
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over
the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic
autonomy and private economic activities, and, as a result, we are dependent on our relationship with the local government in the
province in which we operate our business. Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over
virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed
by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property
and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory
requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations
of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations
or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic
reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies,
could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves
of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
Future inflation in China may inhibit our activity to conduct
business in China.
In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods
of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time,
of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation
may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could
inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management,
legal and financial controls in the PRC.
We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient
number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management,
legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records
and instituting business practices that meet Western standards. We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal
and financial controls in the PRC.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal
process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against
us and our management.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and
substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and executive officers reside within China.
As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon some
of our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or
applicable state securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to bring an original lawsuit against us or our directors
or executive officers before a Chinese court based on U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does not have
treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of
courts.
Because Chinese laws will govern almost all of our business’
material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant
loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based
on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although
legislation in the PRC over the past 25 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment
and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited
volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete understanding
of the judges or government agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the judicators, and the
inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainties,
which could limit the legal protection available to us, and foreign investors. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under
any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a
material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the PRC legal
system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all)
that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime
after the violation. In addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
Our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting
firms operating in China and – to the extent their audit clients have operations in China and Hong Kong, is not permitted
to be subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits
of such inspection.
Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues
the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United
States and a firm registered with the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), is
required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of
the United States and professional standards.
Because our operations are solely located in the People’s
Republic of China, a jurisdiction where PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the PRC authorities,
our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in China and – to the extent their audit
clients have operations in China – Hong Kong, is currently not inspected by the PCAOB.
Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside
China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed
as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of auditors
operating in China makes it more difficult to evaluate our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures. As a
result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.
Risks Related to our Securities
Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could
delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders
hold approximately 69.08% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders are able to control all matters requiring
stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay
or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
We cannot assure you that our common stock will become liquid
or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
Currently, we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, where an
investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock. In addition, if we fail
to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, by law, various requirements would be imposed on broker-dealers who sell its
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers
from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity.
There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our
securities in order for investors to sell their securities.
There is currently only a limited public market for our common
stock and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has been and will likely
continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin Board quoted stocks in particular.
Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in
financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our
common stock. These factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance.
In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly for companies
whose primary operations are located in the PRC. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of
many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Because we became a public company by means of a reverse
merger, it may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide
coverage of our securities since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No
assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.
As a result of the registration statement filed under the
Registration Rights Agreement becoming effective on August 20, 2010, there are a significant number of shares of common stock eligible
for sale, which could depress the market price of our common stock.
Since August 20, 2010, the effective date of the registration
statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, a large number of shares of common stock have become available
for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of our common stock. Further, shares may be offered from time
to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well. The current holding period
under Rule 144 for our common stock expired on March 4, 2011 (which represented one year from the date that we filed “Form
10 information” with the SEC). Accordingly, after March 4, 2011, a person who has held restricted shares for a period
of six months may, upon filing a notification with the SEC on Form 144, sell common stock into the market in an amount equal to
the greater of one percent of the outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume during the last four weeks prior to such
sale.
Our common stock is considered “penny stock”.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny
stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The
market price of our common stock is currently less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be a “penny stock.” Brokers
and dealers effecting transactions in “penny stock” must disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain
a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These
rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell the common stock and may affect your ability to sell shares.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds
and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.
OTC Bulletin Board securities are frequent targets of fraud
or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTC Bulletin Board reporting requirements are less
stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.
Patterns of fraud and abuse include:
|
·
|
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
|
|
·
|
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
|
|
·
|
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced
sales persons;
|
|
·
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
|
|
·
|
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,
along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
|
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically
in the penny stock market.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect
to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and
do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited
to the value of our common stock. We plan to retain any future earning to finance growth.
Techniques employed by manipulative short sellers in Chinese
small cap stocks may drive down the market price of our common stock.
Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the
seller does not own but rather has, supposedly, borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back
at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between
the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less
in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is therefore in the short seller’s best interests for the
price of the stock to decline, many short sellers (sometime known as “disclosed shorts”) publish, or arrange for the
publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum
and generate profits for themselves after selling a stock short. While traditionally these disclosed shorts were limited
in their ability to access mainstream business media or to otherwise create negative market rumors, the rise of the Internet and
technological advancements regarding document creation, videotaping and publication by weblog (“blogging”) have allowed
many disclosed shorts to publicly attack a company’s credibility, strategy and veracity by means of so-called research reports
that mimic the type of investment analysis performed by large Wall Street firm and independent research analysts. These short
attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market, on occasion in large scale and broad base. Issuers with
business operations based in China and who have limited trading volumes and are susceptible to higher volatility levels than U.S.
domestic large-cap stocks, can be particularly vulnerable to such short attacks.
These short seller publications are not regulated by any governmental,
self-regulatory organization or other official authority in the U.S., are not subject to the certification requirements imposed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation AC (Regulation Analyst Certification) and, accordingly, the opinions they
express may be based on distortions of actual facts or, in some cases, fabrications of facts. In light of the limited risks
involved in publishing such information, and the enormous profit that can be made from running just one successful short attack,
unless the short sellers become subject to significant penalties, it is more likely than not that disclosed shorts will continue
to issue such reports.
While we intend to strongly defend our public filings against
any such short seller attacks, oftentimes we are constrained, either by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law (often
called “Anti-SLAPP statutes”), or issues of commercial confidentiality, in the manner in which we can proceed against
the relevant short seller. You should be aware that in light of the relative freedom to operate that such persons enjoy –
oftentimes blogging from outside the U.S. with little or no assets or identity requirements – should we be targeted for such
an attack, our stock will likely suffer from a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in market price should the rumors created
not be dismissed by market participants.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders, although we may receive additional proceeds of up to $24,948,986.75 if all of
the Warrants are exercised for cash. We will not receive any additional proceeds to the extent that the Warrants are exercised
by cashless exercise. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, for general working capital
purposes.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in
the financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. For additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties, please see “Risk Factors.”
We conducted minimal operations during periods up through the
date of the Share Exchange. However, we have included elsewhere in this Report the historical consolidated financial statements
of China LianDi, our recently acquired subsidiary.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the financial statements of China LianDi
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related
notes included in this report.
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 all of the China LianDi Shares to us 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,
in connection with the Share Exchange.
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 we are the accounting acquiree
(legal acquirer). The financial statements before the Share Exchange are those of China LianDi with our results 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 formed a corporation under the laws of
the State of Nevada named 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 our wholly-owned subsidiary.
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 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 our directors, officers, capital structure or business.
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 fiscal 2013, which will be operated through
our subsidiary, Beijing Hongteng Weitong Technology Co., Ltd.

In July 2004, China LianDi was founded with 60% owned by Mr.
Jianzhong Zuo, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our company, and 40% owned by another minority shareholder. On October
2, 2007, Mr. Zuo acquired the remaining 40% interest in China LianDi for US$1 from the minority shareholder, 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.)
acquired a 51% interest in China LianDi from Mr. Zuo in exchange for: (i) US$1.00; (ii) a 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 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, 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, 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 a 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 a 3% interest of China
LianDi from our principal shareholder, SJ Asia Pacific Limited, to TriPoint was entered into for consulting services to facilitate
our 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 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, President 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). 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. 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.
On March 30, 2012, SJ Asia signed an Accord and Satisfaction
Agreement pursuant to which it agreed to accept on May 9, 2012 (the “Transfer Date”), in lieu of an outstanding debt
in the amount of Japanese Yen (J¥) 539,255,277 (approximately US$6,763,518 at an exchange rate of US$1.00 = J¥80.00 on
May 10, 2012), 100% of the shares of Rapid Capital Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands (“Rapid Capital”), who in turn, owns 1,367,725 shares of our common stock. Therefore, SJ Asia indirectly, beneficially
owns 1,367,725 shares of our common stock through Rapid Capital.
As a result, SJ Asia beneficially owns an aggregate of 19,881,463
shares of our common stock, which constitutes approximately 54.6% of the outstanding common shares of our company as of the date
of this report on Form 10-K. Following the completion of the transactions described above, Mr. Zuo remains the Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of our company with the backing of SJ Asia.
We are also engaged in the manufacturing and selling of industrial
chemicals, which is operated through our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”).
Anhui Jucheng 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 incorporated in Anhui, PRC in January 2005.
On July 5, 2010, we acquired a 51% interest in Anhui Jucheng and it became our majority-owned subsidiary. On August 30, 2011, six
unaffiliated 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 Anhui Jucheng. As a result, our equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreased
from 51% to 39.13% and we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng. Nevertheless we still retain an investment
in, and a significant influence over, Anhui Jucheng, Anhui Jucheng then became an equity method affiliate of ours.
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 audited consolidated financial statements for the years
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our 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.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including
those related to 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. We base our estimates and judgments 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. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of our financial statements.
l
Revenue
recognition
Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met
as prescribed by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”: (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 deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each customer and provide 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:
|
l
|
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
|
|
l
|
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
|
|
l
|
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 do not sell 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 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” and ASC Topic 605 “Revenue
Recognition.” 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 ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.”
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 years ended
March 31, 2012 and 2011.
l
Foreign
currency
We have evaluated the determination of our functional currency
based on the guidance in ASC Topic 830 “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:

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
Income
taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
740 “Income Taxes.” 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 tax jurisdictions 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 U.S. 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 our consolidated financial statements.
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 our 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 our 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 our 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. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-12 will have no material impact
on our 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 our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the audited consolidated statement of income and
comprehensive income presented in accordance with U.S. 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 years ended March 31,
2012 and 2011, which are adjusted from results based on U.S. 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 year ended March 31, 2012, and
the non-cash charge recorded, which related to the fair value of the escrow shares allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated
as a deemed dividend, and a deduction of net income available to common stockholders for the year ended March 31, 2011. 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 U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. We use both U.S. 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 a reconciliation of our non-GAAP
financial measures to the audited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended March 31, 2012
and 2011: (All amounts in US dollars)

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 year ended March 31, 2012, our total net revenue decreased
to US$127.68 million from US$140.84 million for the same period of 2011. Without regard to the US$12.03 million and US$22.57 million
of net revenue generated from sales of industrial chemicals, which were operated by Anhui Jucheng, and are discussed separately
below, our total net revenue decreased to US$115.65 million for the year ended March 31, 2012 from US$118.27 million for the same
period of 2011.
The decrease in the total net revenue for the year ended March
31, 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in the net revenue generated from sales and installation of equipment projects, which
resulted from the decrease in the average contract amount of the projects completed for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared
to the same period of last year.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, we achieved approximately
US$94.56 million of equipment sales and installation revenue, as compared to US$103.39 million for the same period of 2011. We
completed 97 projects related to sales and installation of equipment for the year ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 75 projects
for the same period of 2011. However, the average contract amount of the projects completed for the year ended March 31, 2012 decreased
to approximately US$0.97 million from approximately US$1.38 million for the same period of 2011.
For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we achieved approximately
US$17.47 million and US$14.67 million of software and related technical implementation services revenue, respectively.
For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we sold 85 sets
and 32 sets of our data processing software and provided the related implementation services. We achieved approximately US$8.86
million and US$2.86 million of software revenue, respectively. In addition, for the year ended March 31, 2012, we also achieved
approximately US$8.61 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 year ended March 31, 2011, we also achieved approximately US$11.81
million of software and the related technical implementation services revenue in relation to 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
primarily 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 years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we achieved approximately
US$3.62 million and US$0.21 million of technical consultancy services revenue, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2012,
our technical consultancy services revenue achieved were primarily related to the Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”)
consultancy services revenue.
As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, we had 16 and 17 signed but uncompleted
contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$45 million and US$11 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 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. In fiscal 2012, due to increased competition in industrial equipment sales
and installation projects, our revenue achieved in this segment decreased by approximately 8.5% as discussed above. In order to
secure our competitive advantage and market share in this business segment, we successfully developed relationships with several
new suppliers, such as Sandvik, GE and Finder Pompes S.A.S. to distribute their products to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical
companies in fiscal 2012, which expanded our ability to bid for a broader range of products and services while meeting more of
our customers’ needs. In return, this will enable us to enhance our completive advantages in this area and continue to secure
our market share in future periods.
Our equity method affiliate company, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily
engaged in manufacturing and selling an industrial chemical product called Polyacrylamide. Polyacrylaminde is primarily 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 US$22.23 million) contributed by
six unaffiliated Chinese equity funds, who in the aggregate obtained a 23.28% equity interest of Anhui Jucheng. We have ceased
to have a controlling interest in Anhui Jucheng. 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 March 31, 2011, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 10,855 tons of Polyacrylamide products and
achieved approximately US$22.57 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
user rights and software training courses related to the software sales and technical services contracts we sign 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 primarily consists of raw material cost (primarily
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 year ended March 31, 2012, our total cost of sales decreased
to US$96.89 million from US$111.06 million for the same period of 2011. Without regard to the cost of sales of US$11.16 million
and US$20.88 million incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, our total cost of sales
decreased to US$85.73 million for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared to US$90.18 million for the same period of 2011.
The decrease of the cost of sales for the year ended March 31,
2012 as compared to the same period of 2011 was primarily due to a decrease of cost of sales associated with equipment sales and
installation contracts and was consistent with the decrease of our equipment sales and installation net revenue achieved for the
year ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011.

Without regard to the gross profit generated by Anhui Jucheng,
which is discussed separately below, for the year ended March 31, 2012, our gross profit increased to US$29.92 million as compared
to US$28.09 million for the same period of 2011. The level of our overall gross margin was primarily 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 our 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 26% and 24% for the years ended
March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in our overall gross margin for the year ended March 31, 2012 was primarily
due to an increase of gross margin achieved from our software revenue as compared to the same period of 2011. Such increase was
partially offset by the decrease in the gross margin achieved for our equipment sales and installation projects as discussed below.
For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the gross margin
of our equipment sales and installation contacts was 15% and 19%, respectively. The decrease in the overall average equipment sales
and installation gross margin for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared to that for the year ended March 31, 2011 was primarily
due to increased competition in this business segment.
For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the relative percentage
of our separate software revenue over the total net revenue we achieved (excluding the revenue of Anhui Jucheng) was 15% and 12%,
respectively, and the overall gross margin for our separate software sales was 71% and 58%, respectively. These were the main reasons
for the increase in our overall gross margin for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011, as discussed
above.
For data processing software revenue, which related cost of
sale was primarily the amortization expenses of our software copyright, the gross margin is normally between 80%-95%, depending
on the volume of software packages sold during each reporting period. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the increase of our overall
software gross margin were primarily due to: (1) the fact that we achieved approximately 93% gross margin for our data processing
software revenue as compared to 79% for the same period of last year, which are primarily due to the increase of data process software
revenue to US$8.86 million as compared to US$2.86 million in the same period of last year; and (2) the percentage of lower gross
margin software revenue related to purchased software user rights customized and resold to customers over total software revenue
decreased to 49% for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 81% in fiscal 2011, which only achieved gross margin of 48% and
54% for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the percentage of our separate
technical consultancy services revenue over total revenue (excluding the revenue of Anhui Jucheng) increased to 3% from 0.2% for
the same period of last year, which also contributed to the increase in gross profit and gross margin for the year ended March
31, 2012.
We believe that our overall gross margin is typically between
20%-30% on a fiscal year basis, based on our existing business models. On a quarterly basis, our overall gross margin fluctuates
primarily because of the different percentages of the software and technical services revenue and the equipment sales and installation
revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period).

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 with ours.
With the RMB142 million of cash investment contributed by the
six unaffiliated third party investors, Anhui Jucheng is now in the progress of expanding its production facilities, which is expected
to be completed around the middle of fiscal 2013. According to management’s expectation, Anhui Jucheng’s total production
capacities will be increased to 53,000 metric tons per annum from its current production capacities of 18,000 metric tons per annum.
Operating expense
Our operating expenses include selling expenses, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Selling expenses:
Our selling expenses increased to US$2.04 million for the year
ended March 31, 2012 from US$1.66 million for the same period of 2011. Our selling expenses primarily include freight, marketing
research and development expenses, salary expenses and traveling expenses of our sales department.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the change in our selling
expenses was primarily due to the following: (1) salary expenses and other staff related benefits increased by approximately US$0.26
million, which was primarily due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, the newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011, as a result,
for the year ended March 31, 2012, a 12-month salary expense incurred by Beijing Hongteng was included in our results of operations
as compared to a 3-month salary expense incurred by Beijing Hongteng that was included from January 2011 for the year ended March
31, 2011; (2) traveling expenses, entertainment expenses, communication expenses and other general office expenses of our sales
department also increased by approximately US$0.16 million for the same reason as discussed above; (3) freight increased by approximately
US$0.02 million; and (4) market research and development expenses decreased by approximately US$0.07 million, owing to our prior
years’ efforts in the marketing activities allowing us to spend less marketing expenses for the year ended March 31, 2012.
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 fluctuates 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 U.S. GAAP, our expenses for the “pre-contract” stage
were expensed and recorded in earnings when they incurred. Therefore, the amount of “pre-contract” expenses was directly
related to marketing activities and the number of contracts we anticipated during each reporting period. Our “pre-contract”
expenses were not related to corresponding contract revenue being recognized.
General and administrative expenses:
Our general and administrative expenses decreased to US$2.80
million for the year ended March 31, 2012 from US$2.93 million for the same period of 2011. Our general and administrative expenses
primarily 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, audit, financial
consultancy and investor relations).
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the changes in our general
and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following: (1) salary expenses and related staff welfare increased by approximately
US$0.19 million, primarily due to the inclusion of Beijing Hongteng, our newly acquired subsidiary from January 2011, as a result,
for the year ended March 31, 2012, a 12-month salary expense incurred by Beijing Hongteng was included in our results of operations
as compared to a 3-month salary expense incurred by Beijing Hongteng that was included from January 2011 for the year ended March
31, 2011; (2) rental expenses increased by approximately US$0.09 million, primarily due to the increase of rental expenses incurred
by Beijing Hongteng, such increase was partially offset by the decrease of office space leased by our HK subsidiaries from September
2010; (3) bank handling charges related to contract settlement transactions increased by approximately US$0.20 million, due to
the increase of the bank settlement transactions incurred for the year ended March 31, 2012 as compared with the same period of
2011; (4) general office administration expenses decreased by approximately US$0.04 million, primarily due to the decease of general
office expenses of our HK subsidiaries, because we used to engage a third party service provider to help us assume the contract
settlement transactions with the commercial banks in HK. However, starting from the second half of our fiscal 2011, we began to
gradually assume these transactions with our HK banks without any assistance from third parties; (5) professional services charges
decreased by approximately US$0.36 million, as we gradually trained our own staff to assume more duties in relation to these matters
and decreased the related outsourcing of professional service; and (6) share-based payment also decreased by approximately US$0.20
million, due to a decrease of related outsourcing of professional services from third parties as discussed above.
Research and development expenses:
Research and development expenses represent salary expenses
and other related expenses of our research and development department. Our research and development expenses increased to US$0.30
million for the year ended March 31, 2012 from US$0.26 million for the same period of 2011. The increase of our research and development
expenses was primarily due to the increase in such expenses by 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 research and development
personnel to strengthen the functionality of our current software products, develop additional competitive industrial software
products and provide more software related technical consultancy services.

Other income and expenses
Our other income and expenses primarily include interest income,
interest expenses and bank charges for credit facilities, exchange gains or losses, value added tax refunds, gain on the deconsolidation
of our subsidiary, and other income and expenses. As stated above, Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated
with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
Interest income, interest expenses, bank charges and exchange
gains or losses:
|
l
|
Interest income represents the interest income we earned from cash deposits we kept in the commercial banks and interest income
from temporary loans we made to a related party as disclosed in Note 10 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
|
|
l
|
Interest expenses represented the interest expenses incurred for the working capital loans we borrowed from our shareholder,
SJ Asia, (annual interest rate of 3% to 5%) and from banks. For the year ended March 31, 2012, we incurred interest expenses of
approximately US$0.25 million on shareholder loans, interest expenses of approximately US$0.05 million on working capital loans
borrowed by Anhui Jucheng, and interest and bank charges of approximately US$0.30 million on overdrafts and short-term bank loans
for importation of oil sludge cleaning equipment and equipment for our equipment sales and installation contracts.
|
|
l
|
Exchange losses incurred for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were primarily due to the devaluation of the US dollar
against Renminbi, Japanese Yen and Euro.
|
Value added tax refund:
Our PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been recognized by
the PRC government as a software enterprise. The standard value added tax rate for sales of products of PRC enterprises is 17%.
Under the PRC government’s preferential policies for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14%
value added tax with respect to sales of software products. This refund is regarded as subsidy income granted by the PRC government.
We recognize the value added tax refund as other income only when it has been received. There is no condition to the use of the
refund received. We received approximately US$nil and US$1.94 million of value added tax refund for the years ended March 31, 2012
and 2011, respectively.
Gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary:
The deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng occurred on August 30,
2011. It was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”. For the year ended March 31, 2012, we
recognized a non-cash gain of approximately US$30.41 million upon the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated statements
of income and comprehensive income with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of our 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 period from April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, Anhui
Jucheng achieved approximately US$0.11 million of other income from selling scrap raw materials and other supplies, and received
approximately US$0.02 million subsidy income from its local government authorities. For the period from July 5, 2010 and through
March 31, 2011, Anhui Jucheng received approximately US$0.46 million from its provincial and regional governments for its technologies
contribution and development in the polyacrylamide production field, and also achieved approximately US$0.14 million of other income
from selling of scrap raw materials and other supplies.
Income before income tax
As a result of the foregoing, for the year ended March 31, 2012,
our income before income tax increased to US$53.65 million. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain recognized upon
the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the year ended March 31, 2012, our adjusted income before income tax decreased to US$23.24
million. Approximately US$23.38 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services.
Our sales of industrial chemicals incurred approximately US$0.14 million of loss before income tax for the year ended March 31,
2012. This compared to US$24.96 million of income before income tax for the year ended March 31, 2011, US$24.22 million of which
was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.74 million of which was
generated from our sales of industrial chemicals.
Income tax expenses
The entities within our company file separate tax returns in
their 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 years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Beijing JianXin, 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 and Anhui Jucheng are subject to a 25% income
tax for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 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 of 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 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 were RMB635,873,058
($101,023,634) and RMB346,109,423 ($52,789,552), respectively.
Income tax expenses increased for the year ended March 31, 2012,
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.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, our income tax expenses also
included (1) approximately US$7.60 million of deferred income tax expense for the deconsolidation gain recognized upon the deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, which was calculated based on approximately US$30.41 million of 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;
and (2) approximately US$0.03 million of deferred income tax benefits, in relation to the depreciation and amortization of Anhui
Jucheng’s revalued properties, plant and equipment and the land use right upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5,
2010. Given the foregoing, the net amount recognized as deferred income tax expense was approximately US$7.57 million for the year
ended March 31, 2012. For the year ended March 31, 2011, our income tax expenses also included approximately US$0.04 million of
deferred income tax benefits, in relation to the depreciation and amortization of Anhui Jucheng’s revalued properties, plant
and equipment and the land use right upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010.
Equity in earnings of equity method affiliate
Upon the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, which occurred on
August 30, 2011, we ceased having a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng and Anhui Jucheng became an equity method affiliate
company of ours. Therefore, in accordance with ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” for the year ended
March 31, 2012, we recognized our pro-rata share of net income incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the period from August 31, 2011 through
March 31, 2012, which was approximately US$1.28 million, in our consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, with
a corresponding increase in the carrying value of our 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 through March 31, 2012 was primarily subsidy income
received from its local government.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing, for the year ended March 31, 2012,
our net income increased to US$44.27 million. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and related US$7.60 million
deferred income tax expense recognized upon the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the year ended March 31, 2012, our adjusted
net income decreased to US$21.46 million, of which approximately US$20.35 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation,
software sales and technical services, and approximately US$1.11 million was generated from our sales of industrial chemicals.
This compared to US$24.44 million of net income for the year ended March 31, 2011, that consisted of US$23.84 million which was
generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services and US$0.60 million which was generated
from our sale of industrial chemicals.
Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling 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 were consolidated with ours, net loss or income generated from Anhui Jucheng was allocated to the noncontrolling shareholder
of Anhui Jucheng based on his percentage 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 shareholder of Anhui Jucheng. For the period from July 5, 2010 through March 31, 2011, approximately
US$0.30 million of Anhui Jucheng’s net income was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng.
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 year ended March 31, 2012, net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders
was US$44.35 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 the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the year ended March 31, 2012, our adjusted net income available
to LianDi Clean stockholders was approximately US$21.54 million as compared to US$24.14 million for the year ended March 31, 2011.

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 year ended March 31, 2011 was approximately US$4.01 million, which was
recorded as a deduction to the net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean for the year ended March 31, 2011. 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, holders of 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.
The total preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$1.27 million and US$1.82 million for the years ended March 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively.
Net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean
Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders minus the
preferred stock deemed dividend and preferred stock cash dividend is net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean.
For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$43.09
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 the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the year ended March 31, 2011, and the US$4.01
million preferred stock deemed dividend recognized for the year ended March 31, 2011, our adjusted net income available to common
stockholders of LianDi Clean was US$20.28 million and US$22.32 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 March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$86.0 million.
Our liquidity needs include net cash used in operating activities,
which primarily 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 primarily consists of the investments in computers and other office equipment, investment
in purchasing oil sludge cleaning equipment and upgrading and expanding our existing manufacturing facilities for our majority
owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, before Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated. For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we primarily

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Company Background
We are a holding company that provides downstream flow equipment
and engineering services to China’s leading petroleum and petrochemical companies. Prior to the consummation of the share
exchange transaction described below, we were a shell company with nominal operations and nominal assets. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
China LianDi, was established in July 2004 to serve the largest Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies. Through our
operating subsidiaries, which are Hua Shen HK, PEL HK, Bright Flow, Hongteng HK, Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, we: (i)
distribute a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, including unheading units for the delayed coking process,
as well as provide associated value-added technical services; (ii) provide systems integration services; (iii) develop and market
proprietary optimization software; and (iv) distribute and lease oil sludge cleaning equipment and provide oil sludge cleaning
services, which we expect to be launched in fiscal 2013. We are also engaged in manufacturing and selling of industrial chemical
products through our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng. Our products and services are provided both bundled or individually,
depending on the needs of the customer.
Our objectives are to enhance the reputation of our brand, continue
our growth and strengthen our position in production automation and process optimization, as well as clean and advanced technology
for the petroleum and petrochemical industry in China. In the next three years, we intend to expand the range of the industrial
equipment to be delivered to our customers, which we expect will expand our ability to bid for a broader range of projects while
meeting more of our customers’ needs. We intend to strengthen our optimization software for the efficiency and safety of
the production and management processes for petroleum and petrochemical companies, enhancing its function and reliability. We also
intend to expand and further develop our long-term relationships with our customers, helping them reduce their production costs
and increase the efficiency and safety of their facilities.
Our Operating Subsidiaries

and we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng, but still retained an investment in, and a significant
influence over, Anhui Jucheng. Accordingly, Anhui Jucheng became an equity method affiliate of ours. Anhui Jucheng is primarily

Prior to April 1, 2010, our company name was Remediation
Services, Inc. For the sole purpose of changing our name, on April 1, 2010, we merged into a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary
incorporated under the laws of Nevada called LianDi Clean Technology Inc. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed
to LianDi Clean Technology Inc.
Share Exchange Agreement with China LianDi and Private Placement
Share Exchange Agreement
On February 26, 2010 (the “Closing Date”),
we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among (i) China LianDi and China LianDi’s
shareholders, SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of SJI Inc., a Jasdaq listed company organized under the laws of Japan, China Liandi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Limited,
a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Hua Shen Trading (International) Limited, a company organized
under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Rapid Capital Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British

our operating companies in the PRC, provide downstream flow equipment and engineering services, optimization software packages,
clean and advanced industrial technology based equipment and services to the leading petroleum and petrochemical companies in the
PRC.
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 private placement described below,
we had 28,571,430 shares issued and outstanding. China LianDi also deposited $275,000 into an escrow account which amount was paid
to Reed Buley, owner of the cancelled shares, as a result of the Share Exchange having been consummated.
Private Placement
On February 26, 2010 and immediately following the Share
Exchange, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) for
the issuance and sale in a private placement of 787,342 units (the “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 (the “Conversion Shares”), (b)
787,342 shares of common stock (the “Issued Shares”), (c) three-year Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”)
to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share (the “Series A Warrant Shares”),
and (d) three-year Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”)
to purchase up to 1,968,363 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share (the “Series B Warrant Shares”
and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$27.56 million (the “Private Placement”). The issuance of the Units was exempt from registration pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into
a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, in which we agreed to file
a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Issued Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares within
30 calendar days of the Closing Date, and to have such registration statement declared effective within 180 calendar days of the
Closing Date. We agreed to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as
is the earlier of the date when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or the date on which
such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule144. If we do not comply with the foregoing obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay cash liquidated damages to each investor, at the rate of 2% of the
applicable subscription amount for each 30 day period in which we are not in compliance; provided, that such liquidated damages
will be capped at 10% of the subscription amount of each investor and will not apply to any shares that may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or are subject to an SEC comment with respect to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 20, 2010 and remains effective as of the date of this prospectus.
We also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the Investors
(the “Securities Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd., an
affiliate of Jianzhong Zuo, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, delivered into an escrow account 1,722,311 shares
of common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) to be used as a share escrow for the achievement of a fiscal year 2011 adjusted
net income performance threshold of $20.5 million.
Our net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for
the purposes of the Securities Escrow Agreement was $24.1 million and exceeded the 2011 performance threshold. Therefore, the escrow
shares were released to China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd on August 24, 2011.
On the Closing Date, we and China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering
Technology Ltd., entered into a lock-up agreement whereby such entity is prohibited from selling our securities until six (6) months

On February 26, 2012, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock were converted into the same number of shares of our common stock.
Industry and Market Overview
China Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries
We have obtained the following industry and market overview
from the U.S. Energy Information Administration Report dated May 2011.
According to the Oil & Gas Journal (OGJ), China had 20.4
billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of January 2011, up over 4 billion barrels from two years ago. China's largest and oldest
oil fields are located in the northeast region of the country. China produced an estimated 4.3 million bbl/d of total oil liquids
in 2010, of which 96 percent was crude oil. China's oil production is forecast to rise by about 290 thousand bbl/d to over 4.5
million bbl/d in 2012.
China consumed an estimated 9.2 million barrels per day (bbl/d)
of oil in 2010, up nearly 900 thousand bbl/d, or over 10 percent from year-earlier levels. China's net oil imports reached about
4.8 million bbl/d in 2010 and it became the second-largest net oil importer in the world behind the United States in 2009. EIA
forecasts that China's oil consumption will continue to grow during 2012, and the anticipated growth of 1.1 million bbl/d between
2010 and 2012 would represent almost 40 percent of projected world oil demand growth during the 2-year period.
China Oil Companies
China's national oil companies (NOCs) wield a significant amount
of influence in China's oil sector. Between 1994 and 1998, the Chinese government reorganized most state-owned oil and gas assets
into two vertically integrated firms: the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and the China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation
(Sinopec). These two conglomerates operate a range of local subsidiaries, and together dominate China's upstream and downstream
oil markets. CNPC is the leading upstream player in China and, along with its publicly-listed arm PetroChina, accounts for roughly
60 percent and 80 percent of China's total oil and gas output, respectively. CNPC's current strategy is to integrate its sectors
and capture more downstream market share. Sinopec, on the other hand, has traditionally focused on downstream activities, such
as refining and distribution, with these sectors making up nearly 80 percent of the company's revenues in recent years and is gradually
seeking to acquire more upstream assets.
Additional state-owned oil firms have emerged over the last
several years. The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), which is responsible for offshore oil exploration and production,
has seen its role expand as a result of growing attention to offshore zones. Also, the company has proven to be a growing competitor
to CNPC and Sinopec by not only increasing its exploration and production expenditures in the South China Sea but also extending
its reach into the downstream sector particularly in the southern Guangdong Province. The Sinochem Corporation and CITIC Group
have also expanded their presence in China's oil sector, although they are still relatively small.
Whereas onshore oil production in China is mostly limited to
CNPC and CNOOC, international oil companies (IOCs) have been granted greater access to offshore oil prospects, mainly through production
sharing agreements. IOCs involved in offshore E&P work in China include: Conoco Phillips, Shell, Chevron, BP, Husky, Anadarko,
and Eni, among others. IOCs leverage their technical expertise in order to partner with a Chinese NOC and make a foray into the
Chinese markets.
China Oil Refineries
China is steadily increasing its oil refining capacity in order
to meet robust demand growth. Most industry sources estimate China's installed crude refining capacity at over 11 million bbl/d.
China's goal is to augment refining capacity by about 3.3 million bbl/d by 2015. A recent report by Sinopec stated that the national
oil refining capacity would rise to 15 million bbl/d by 2016.
Sinopec and CNPC are the two dominant players in China's oil
refining sector, accounting for 50 percent and 35 percent of the capacity, respectively. However, CNOOC entered the downstream
sector through the commission of the company's first refinery, the 240,000 bbl/d Huizhou plant. Sinochem has also proposed a number
of new refineries, and national oil companies from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, and Venezuela have also entered into joint-ventures
with Chinese companies to build new refining facilities. The Chinese NOCs recently expanded their refining portfolios through commissioning
two more refineries in 2010, Sinopec's Tianjin and CNPC's Quinzhou, each with a capacity of 200,000 bbl/d. By 2010, China's total
refinery processing reached around 8.5 million bbl/d, up by 13 percent over the previous year.
PetroChina (CNPC) is branching out to acquire refinery stakes
in other countries in efforts to move downstream and secure more global trading and arbitrage opportunities. The company's purchase
of Singapore Petroleum Corporation and a portion of Japan's Osaka refinery are cases where PetroChina is looking for a foothold
within the region's refining opportunities.
The refining sector has undergone modernization and consolidation
in recent years, with dozens of small refineries (“teapots” and independent refiners), ranging from 40,000 bbl/d to
120,000 bbl/d and accounting for about 15 percent of total refinery capacity, shut down. The NDRC plans to eliminate refineries
smaller than 20,000 bbl/d that are mostly owned by independent companies in efforts to encourage economies of scale and energy
efficiency measures.
Domestic price regulations for finished petroleum products have
hurt Chinese refiners, particularly small ones, in the past few years when oil prices were high. Lower domestic prices compared
to international market prices for retail products provides incentives for Chinese refiners, especially those run by national companies,
to export high volumes of products. In 2010, China imported approximately 700,000 bbl/d and exported 600,000 bbl/d of petroleum
products including LPG, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fuel oil, and lubricants. Exports of products are expected to remain high as
refining capacity is added in 2011 and beyond.
China Oil Prices
The Chinese government launched a fuel tax and reform of the
country's product pricing mechanism in December 2008 in order to tie retail oil product prices more closely to international crude
oil markets, attract downstream investment, ensure profit margins for refiners, and reduce energy intensity caused by distortions
in the market pricing. When international crude oil prices increased in 2010, the NDRC did not increase downstream fuel prices
at the same level, causing refiners, especially NOCs to incur profit losses on the downstream business and increase exports to
help offset the losses.
Imports of Heavy Crude Oil
The Middle East remains the largest source of China's crude
oil imports, although African countries also contribute a significant amount. China imported nearly 4.8 million bbl/d of crude
oil in 2010, of which over 2.2 million bbl/d (47 percent) came from the Middle East, 1.5 million bbl/d (30 percent) from Africa,
176,000 bbl/d (4 percent) from the Asia-Pacific region, and 938,000 bbl/d (20 percent) came from other countries. In 2010, Saudi
Arabia and Angola were China's two largest sources of oil imports, together accounting for over one-third of China's total crude
oil imports. Crude oil imports rose over 17 percent from 4.1 million bbl/d in 2009. Angola has become as significant an exporter
of crude to China as Saudi Arabia and in some months has been the largest supplier. The EIA expects China to import about 72 percent
of its crude oil by 2035, a significant rise from the current 50 percent.
As China diversifies its crude oil import sources and expands
oil production domestically, state-owned refiners will have to adjust to the changing crude slate. Traditionally, many of China’s
refineries were built to handle relatively light and sweet crude oils, such as Daqing and other domestic sources. In recent years,
refiners have built or upgraded facilities to support greater Middle Eastern crude oil imports, which tend to be heavy and sour.
However, more recently, China’s refiners have also had to prepare for high-acid and high-sulfur crude oil streams. Much of
the country’s planned new oil production in the offshore Bohai Bay is considered high-acid, and China is the largest importer
of Sudan’s Dar Blend, a high-acid crude. High-acid oil tends to be light and sweet, but refiners must install stainless
steel metallurgy or utilize other advanced processes to successfully run the crude streams. This increased the demands by the Chinese
refiners to upgrade and change their production facilities, which we believe also increased the demands for our products and services.
China Environmental Regulations
In recent years, the Chinese government has made protection
of the environment a priority, strengthening its environmental legislation. In 2005, the Chinese government’s State Environmental
Protection Administration enacted a new, far-reaching regulatory and environmental initiative including reduced total emissions
by 15% and increasing China’s energy efficiency by 30%. Furthermore, each province in China has followed the central government’s
directive and established their own targets for pollution issues that affect their province. Most of the provinces pollution reduction
targets have focused on air pollution caused largely by sulfur dioxide emissions and water pollution. Also, since China entered
the World Trade Organization in 2001 and has begun to play an increasingly larger role in international politics, the government
has been held more accountable for its climate footprint. At the Copenhagen Climate Conference, the central Chinese government
pledged to cut emissions by 40 percent and reaffirmed this pledge at the U.N. Climate Summit in Mexico City in December 2010.

Distribution & Technical Services
We distribute hundreds of different types of valves and related
equipment from manufacturers/suppliers such as Cameron (NYSE: CAM), Poyam Valves, ABB and ROTORK. Recently, we also successfully
developed our relationship with several new industrial equipment suppliers, such as: Sandvik, GE and Finder Pompes, to distribute
their products to our customers pursuant to the distribution agreements we signed with them. We also provide related value-added
technical services to manufacturers and petroleum and petrochemical companies. We provide locally customized technical services
for international companies who sell products in China but who do not have local offices or sufficient local technical services
manpower. For these companies, we offer our services by enlisting our engineers on the ground to provide localized services for
their products. Our technical services include, but are not limited to: communicating with the design and R&D arms of the large
Chinese oil companies; verifying and confirming the specification of products; and product inspecting, maintenance and debugging
assistance. We also provide Hazard and Operability Analysis (“HAZOP”) consultancy technical services to our customers.
Systems Integration
We provide systems integration services for self-control of
the chemical production process. This process includes integration of storage operations and transportation of valve instruments
from tank farms, as well as providing upgrading services of programmable logic controllers with instrument systems. Currently,
we are undertaking systematic integrations of operations in several chemical plant tank farm projects.
Software
Polymerization reaction is very important in the petrochemical
process. It converts ethylene, propylene and other major gas-phase products into solid products which in turn can be further processed.
Polymerization provides raw materials for downstream industries. The conditions important to the polymerization reaction process
are mainly temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level and the catalyst. Prior to using a new process or before a catalyst is put
into mass production, as well as before products are officially used, the process needs to be tested. Our software helps test the
processes by producing data collection, performance analysis and process optimization indications. Polymerization reaction data
collection and analysis software provides production process automation control. Our software can also be applied to other industries
including the coal and steel industries. Beside polymerization reaction optimization software, we also resell other software products,
such as production process stimulation software, purchased from third parties to our customers.
Oil Sludge Cleaning
The PRC government recently mandated automated cleaning technologies
to be used in all oil refiners in China starting on July 1, 2010 in order to improve the safety of refining operations. However,
in practice, the implementation of this regulation was not widely carried out by the PRC refineries due to a funding shortfall.
Currently, only less than 20% of Chinese oil refineries use automated cleaning technologies compared to 80%-90% in developed countries.
We estimate, if this regulation is fully implemented by PRC refineries in the future, the value for using this cleaning technology
will be approximately US$120 million, growing at about 7% per annum.
We have imported three sets of the automated oil sludge cleaning
equipment from System Kikou Co., Ltd (“SKK”), located in Tokyo, Japan, one of the world’s leading automated oil
sludge treatment companies. Our key employees who are in charge of this business have strong experience and extensive resources
in the industrial production processes safety area.
We may generate revenue from this segment through:
|
·
|
providing the oil sludge cleaning services directly to the oil refiners in China;
|
|
·
|
distributing the oil sludge cleaning equipment in China; and
|
|
·
|
leasing the oil sludge cleaning equipment to other oil sludge cleaning companies in China.
|
We are now in the bidding process for a project initiated by
one of the refineries in northwest China. The potential client conducting the process is interested in our SKK oil sludge cleaning
equipment.
Manufacturing and selling of industrial chemical products
Our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, was incorporated
in January 2005, and is the sixth largest polyacrylamide products manufacturer in China, (according to China Polyacrylamide Industry
Competition Trends Forecast Report
issued by China National Functional Polymer Industry Committee)
with a total maximum
production capacity of approximately 18,000 metric tons per annum. Polyacrylaminde is mainly used in (1) tertiary oil recovery;
(2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal and sewage treatments; (3) an auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculant
for river water treatments.
Anhui Jucheng is constructing three new production lines in
order to expand its production capacity to approximately 53,000 metric tons per year. The new production lines are expected to
be completed in the middle of fiscal 2013. After having completed these new production lines, management estimates Anhui Jucheng
will become the fourth largest polyacrylamide products manufacturer in China.
We believe our investment in Anhui Jucheng enabled us to improve
our product structure and diversify our channels of business opportunities. Currently, Anhui Jucheng sells polyacrylaminde products
mainly though the distributors to the end users, who are mostly large oil fields.
Depending on customers’ needs, our products and services
may be bundled together or provided individually.
Our Competitive Strengths
Our competitive strengths include:
Product advantages
We import high-quality petroleum and petrochemical valves and
equipment, and distribute them to our domestic clients who are large petroleum and petrochemical companies located and operating
in China. Our suppliers are global and reputable industrial equipment manufacturers with leading technology among their competitors.
Our international suppliers include Cameron, DeltaValve, Poyam Valves, Rotork, Bornemann, Metso, Ruhrpumpen, ABB, Sandvik, GE and
Finder Pompes. We also work with the design and R&D subsidiaries of CNPC and Sinopec, as well as other independent design and
research institutes, to determine standards in the petroleum and petrochemical industries and help them to select equipment. Our
software is used by petrochemical companies during the polymerization reaction of ethylene production for data collection, performance
analysis and process optimization. We believe it has several advantages over similar products, including lower cost, better quality
control, improved process optimization and customization to individual customers.
Client relationship advantages
Most of the petroleum and petrochemical companies are very large
state-owned enterprises in China which set high standards and thresholds for products and services providers. We have worked closely
with the largest industry leaders, CNOOC, Sinochem Group, Sinopec and CNPC, to provide equipment and technical services, for almost
10 years. Each of our key management personnel have at least 10-20 years of experience in the industry and have established broad
channels and networks within the industry and have earned the trust of these large state-owned industry leaders. We have also maintained
strong relationships with our suppliers and research institutions.
Design and research and development advantage
We have partnered with the leading industrial design and research
and development institutions throughout China to develop standards and select equipment for the petroleum and petrochemical industries,
which has led to the development of our integrated products and services and their achievement of a higher level of technological
sophistication as compared with our competitors. Specifically, we have partnered and/or worked with Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering
Corporation and Sinopec Engineering Incorporation, which are the design and R&D institutions wholly owned by Sinopec; and China
Huanqiu Contracting & Engineering Corporation and China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation, which are the design and
R&D institutions wholly owned by CNPC. These companies assist Sinopec and CNPC with the design and construction of both new
and old production facilities. Generally, our role focuses on assisting these companies with locating suitable products from around
the world to complete various aspects of the facilities design. For example, we use our expertise in flow control equipment to
help identify and select valves and other equipment that meet specific design requirements.
We currently have approximately 157 employees (excluding employees
of Anhui Jucheng), many from China’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies and their design and R&D subsidiaries,
and they possess extensive technology and design and R&D capabilities.
Comprehensive localized system integration advantage
We have accumulated more than seven years of comprehensive system
integration services experience with a relatively stable base of clients and products and an effective operational team. This experience
has allowed us to emerge as a high-end integrator of industrial products and related engineering services. We have the ability
to understand our customers’ current systems and needs, and then design the total solution to integrate international products
and technologies with their local systems.
Advanced and Clean technology advantage
We are the first company to bring DeltaValve’s affordable,
environment-friendly, safe and maintenance-free coke-drum enclosed unheading system to the Chinese marketplace. The delayed coking
process produces more pollution than any other refining step. The totally enclosed unheading units we distribute and install significantly
reduce emissions. Given the Chinese government’s aggressive industry targets to reduce air pollution, traditional delayed
coking units will have to be updated.
Our automatic oil tank sludge cleaning equipment imported from
SKK includes the following technical advantages:
|
·
|
sealed operation, safe and reliable
|
|
·
|
environment friendly, with no emissions;
|
|
·
|
recovery of the remaining crude oil in the tank, and increasing production efficiency; and
|
|
·
|
convenient for installation and transportation, with a high degree of commonality for different refineries.
|
In light of the Chinese government’s long-term industry
targets to improve production safety and reduce the occurrence of accidents, we expect that this business segment will help us
generate more revenue.
Benefit from income tax policy
Our PRC subsidiary, Beijing JianXin, has been qualified as a
software enterprise by the required government authorities. Accordingly, Beijing JianXin has benefited from an income tax exemption
for two years beginning with its first profitable calendar year of 2009 and a 50% tax reduction to a rate of 12.5% for the subsequent
three years through December 31, 2013. This tax benefit will reduce the capital demands in our operating activities and allow us
to invest more funding into long-term projects and to better serve our clients.
Experienced workforce
Currently, many of our senior managers and engineers have significant
prior experience in the petroleum and petrochemical industry. Many of our employees have graduated from petrochemical based institutions
and colleges. Our executive team has over 100 years of management experience in the aggregate and provides excellent operating
and technical administration for our company.
Healthy financial growth
We achieved a 63% year-to-year net income growth for fiscal
year 2011 ending March 31, 2011, compared with that of 2010, and a 81% year-to-year net income growth to $44.27 million for
fiscal year 2012 ending March 31, 2012.
Supplier relationships
We distribute high quality products of international suppliers,
which afford us a distinctive reputation and significant profit. We have close relationships with reputable brand name manufacturers,
and remain the largest distributor of many of their products in China. We currently are the authorized distributor of Cameron,
DeltaValve, Poyam Values, Rotork, Bornemann, Metso, Ruhrpumpen, ABB, Sandvic, GE and Finder Pompes, which allow us to distribute
their products in China.
Growth Strategy
We plan to strengthen our leading position and achieve stable
growth through the following strategies:
|
·
|
Strengthening our research and development effort to increase the functions and the stability of our optimization software to increase the sales volume of our software products which have a relatively high gross margin;
|
|
·
|
Expanding our distribution channels and network by increasing our sales force and collecting more industrial information and enhancing our communication with existing and potential clients;
|
|
·
|
Expanding and diversifying our supplier base and alliances and maintaining broader products and service solutions to be introduced to our customers;
|
|
·
|
Increasing our business opportunities through acquisitions to boost operational and cross-selling synergies and further diversify our products and channels of business.
|
Competition
We compete against other companies which seek to provide the
Chinese petroleum refinery industry with a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment and associated technical
and engineering services. Much like us, these companies compete on the basis of cost, the size of their distribution product portfolio,
and level of technical and engineering expertise. In addition, similar products to those distributed by us are available from domestic
Chinese and foreign manufacturers and compete with the products in our distribution portfolio.
Z&J Technologies GmbH is a German industrial valve company
and a direct competitor to China LianDi/DeltaValve’s enclosed unheading units. Honeywell is also a competitor with respect
to our optimization software. Oreco A/S, a company in Denmark, that specializes in the development and production of automated,
non-man entry oil tank cleaning and oil recovery systems, is a competitor of LianDi/SKK’s oil sludge cleaning equipment and
technology.
Methods of Distribution
We maintain aggressive sales channels and distribution networks
in China with an approximately 16 member sales team, with the backing of our engineering department, which has 39 members and provides
seamless pre-sale and after-sale support to our sales team and our customers. We have spent significant amount of time developing
relationships with our international equipment suppliers, and with the PRC’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies.
Our Suppliers
We maintain close relationships with, and distribute products
for large, industry leading valve and equipment manufacturers, including Cameron, DeltaValve, Poyam Valves, Rotork, Bornemann,
Metso, Ruhrpumpen, ABB, Sandvic, GE and Finder Pompes. Most of our suppliers enter into supply contracts with us on a project by
project basis. We expect all existing supplier relationships will continue on an ongoing basis and that going forward we will add
new partners to diversify our supplier base.
Significant Customers
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, our major customer
breakdown as a percentage of revenues was as follows: Sinopec: 27%; CNPC: 49%; and other: 24% (of which 9% represented the industrial
chemicals revenue of Anhui Jucheng). We are dependent on China’s largest petroleum and petrochemical companies in our distribution
business. As we grow our business, we intend to diversify our customer relationships that can benefit from our technology and software
business.
Design and Research and Development
We have partnered with the leading industrial design and R&D
institutions throughout the PRC to develop standards and select equipment for the petroleum and petrochemical industries, which
has led to the development of our integrated products and services and their achievement of a higher level of technological sophistication
as compared with our competitors.
Specifically, our engineering staff understands all specifications,
budget parameters and functional project requirements. We then use this understanding to find suitable products and suppliers.
As part of this process, we help our partners reduce costs by designing and/or improving certain systems, including hydraulic systems,
control systems, supporting bracket, and other systems. Finally, we assist with the integration of these products within their
core products.
We currently have approximately 74 employees dedicated to technical
design and R&D activities. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we spent approximately $0.30 million on such activities,
excluding the amount incurred by Anhui Jucheng before it was deconsolidated from us on August 30, 2011.
Government Regulation
Our business operations do not require any special government
licenses or permits.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
We believe that we are in compliance with the current material
environmental protection requirements. Our costs attributed to compliance with environmental laws are negligible.
Intellectual Property
The PRC has adopted legislation governing intellectual property
rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. The PRC is a signatory to the main international conventions on intellectual
property rights and became a member of the
Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights
upon its accession
to the WTO in December 2001.
We have five software copyright certificates issued by the State
Copyright Office of the PRC as listed below:

Legal Proceedings
We are currently not a party to any material legal or administrative
proceedings and are not aware of any pending or threatened legal or administrative proceedings against us in all material aspects.
We may from time to time become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
Employees
As of August 6, 2012, we had 157 full-time employees (excluding
Anhui Jucheng’s employees), including 74 in technology and R&D; 39 engineers; 16 in sales; 3 members of management and
25 others, including accounting, warehouse, importation, administration and human resources.
We are compliant with local prevailing wage, contractor licensing
and insurance regulations, and have good relations with our employees.
As required by PRC regulations, we participate in various employee
benefit plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity
insurance, medical and unemployment benefit plans. We are required under PRC laws to make contributions to the employee benefit
plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified
by the local government from time to time. Members of the retirement plan are entitled to a pension equal to a fixed proportion
of the salary prevailing at the member’s retirement date.
Generally, we enter into a standard employment contract with
our officers, managers and other employees for a set period of years. According to these contracts, all of our employees are prohibited
from engaging in any activities that compete with our business during the period of their employment with us. Furthermore, the
employment contracts with officers or managers include a covenant that prohibits officers or managers from engaging in any activities
that compete with our business for two years after the period of employment.
Corporation Information
Our principal executive offices are located
at Unit 401-405, 4/F, Tower B, Wanliuxingui Building, 28 Wanquanzhuang Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China 100089, Tel: (86)
(0)10-5872 0171, Fax: (86) (0)10-5872 0181.
PRC Government Regulations
Various aspects of our operations are subject to numerous laws,
regulations, rules and specifications of the PRC. We are in compliance in all material respects with such laws, regulations, rules
and specifications and have obtained all material permits, approvals and registrations relating to human health and safety, the
environment, taxation, foreign exchange administration, financial and auditing, and labor and employment. We make expenditures
from time to time to stay in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Below we set forth a summary of the most significant
PRC regulations or requirements that may affect our business activities operated in the PRC or our shareholders’ right to
receive dividends and other distributions of profits from Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, wholly foreign owned enterprises
under the PRC laws, and Anhui Jucheng, a majority foreign owned enterprise under the PRC laws (collectively “PRC subsidiaries”).
Business License
Any company that conducts business in the PRC must have a business
license that covers a particular type of work. The business licenses of our PRC subsidiaries cover their present business activities.
Prior to expanding our PRC subsidiaries’ business beyond that of their business license, we are required to apply and receive
approval from the PRC government.
Annual Inspection
In accordance with relevant PRC laws, all types of enterprises
incorporated under the PRC laws are required to conduct annual inspections with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce
of the PRC or its local branches. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises are also subject to annual inspections conducted by
PRC government authorities. In order to reduce enterprises’ burden of submitting inspection documentation to different government
authorities, the
Measures on Implementing Joint Annual Inspection
issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce together with other
six ministries in 1998 stipulated that foreign-invested enterprises shall participate in a joint annual inspection jointly conducted
by all relevant PRC government authorities. Our PRC subsidiaries, as foreign-invested enterprises, have participated and passed
all such annual inspections since their incorporation.
Employment Laws
We are subject to laws and regulations governing our relationship
with our employees, including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, work permits
and travel restrictions. These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance.
China’s National Labor Law
, which became effective
on January 1, 1995, and
China’s National Labor Contract Law
, which became effective on January 1, 2008,
permits workers in both state and private enterprises in China to bargain collectively. The
National Labor Law
and the
National
Labor Contract Law
provide for collective contracts to be developed through collaboration between the labor union (or worker
representatives in the absence of a union) and management that specify such matters as working conditions, wage scales, and hours
of work. The laws also permit workers and employers in all types of enterprises to sign individual contracts, which are to be drawn
up in accordance with the collective contract.
Foreign Investment in PRC Operating Companies
The
Foreign Investment Industrial Catalogue
jointly issued
by the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, and the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, in 2007 classified
various industries/businesses into three different categories: (i) encouraged for foreign investment; (ii) restricted to foreign
investment; and (iii) prohibited from foreign investment. For any industry/business not covered by any of these three categories,
they will be deemed industries/businesses permitted to have foreign investment. Except for those expressly provided restrictions,
encouraged and permitted industries/businesses are usually 100% open to foreign investment and ownership. With regard to those
industries/businesses restricted to or prohibited from foreign investment, there is always a limitation on foreign investment and
ownership. Our PRC subsidiaries’ business do not fall under the industry categories that are restricted to or prohibited
from foreign investment and are not subject to limitation on foreign investment and ownership.
Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange
Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is governed by a series
of regulations, including the
Foreign Currency Administrative Rules
(1996), as amended, and the
Administrative Regulations
Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange
(1996), as amended. Under these regulations, Renminbi is freely
convertible for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for direct investment, loans or investments in
securities outside the PRC without the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Pursuant to the
Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange
(1996), Foreign Invested Enterprises,
or FIEs, may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of the SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions
by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved
by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant Chinese government authorities may
limit or eliminate the ability of FIEs to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange transactions
for direct investment, loan and investment in securities outside the PRC are still subject to limitations and require approvals
from the SAFE.
Regulation of FIEs’ Dividend Distribution
The principal laws and regulations in the PRC governing distribution
of dividends by FIEs include:
|
(i)
|
The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1979), as amended, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1983), as amended;
|
|
(ii)
|
The Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1988), as amended, and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1995), as amended;
|
|
(iii)
|
The Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Regulations of Implementation of the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.
|
Under these regulations, FIEs in the PRC may pay dividends only
out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition,
foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year,
if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. These
reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its
after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
Regulation of a Foreign Currency’s Conversion into
RMB and Investment by FIEs
On August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued
a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning
the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or
Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to the Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report
from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi
shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. The Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted
from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business
scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance.
Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and
Offshore Transactions
In October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating
to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via
Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and was further supplemented
by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. SAFE Notice 75
states that PRC residents, whether natural or legal persons, must register with the relevant local SAFE branch prior to establishing
or taking control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity
interests held by them. The term “PRC legal person residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 refers to those entities with
legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person
residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually
reside in the PRC for economic benefit. The SAFE implementation notice of November 24, 2005 further clarifies that the term
“PRC natural person residents” as used under SAFE Notice 75 refers to those “PRC natural person residents”
defined under the relevant PRC tax laws and those natural persons who hold any interests in domestic entities that are classified
as “domestic-funding” interests.
PRC residents are required to complete amended registrations
with the local SAFE branch upon: (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or
(ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations
or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity,
such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments or, providing security, and these changes
do not relate to return investment activities. PRC residents who have already organized or gained control of offshore entities
that have made onshore investments in the PRC before SAFE Notice 75 was promulgated must register their shareholdings in the offshore
entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.
Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to
repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity
within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFE
Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity,
such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or
dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.
Government Regulations Relating to Taxation
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress
or the NPC, approved and promulgated the
PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law
, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT
Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of
25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established
before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective
tax laws or regulations.
On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a
Notice
on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax
, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been
approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period
since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in
the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the
New EIT Law, the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, and
25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1,
2008.
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may
be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises.” Non-resident enterprises
refer to enterprises which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place
of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the
extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to
withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such
income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate
from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will
be considered as located within the PRC. We are a U.S. holding company and substantially all of our income is derived from dividends
we receive from our subsidiaries located in the PRC. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under
the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends
may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.
Such income tax may be exempted or reduced by the State Council
of the PRC or pursuant to a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC shareholders reside. For example,
the 10% withholding tax is reduced to 5% pursuant to the
Double Tax Avoidance Agreement Between Hong Kong and Mainland China
if the beneficial owner in Hong Kong owns more than 25% of the registered capital in a company in the PRC.
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise
tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications
of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in any of our subsidiaries’ tax rates in the future could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including
the MOFCOM, the China Securities Regulatory Commission or the CSRC, the State Asset Supervision and Administration Commission or
the SASAC, the State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce or the SAIC and
SAFE, amended and released the New M&A Rule, which took effect as of September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things,
includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) formed for purposes of
an overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain
the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official
website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number
of documents with the CSRC. The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with
no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.
Regulation of the Software Industry
Software Copyright
The China State Council promulgated the
Regulations on the
Protection of Computer Software
, or the Software Protection Regulations, on December 20, 2001, which became effective
on January 1, 2002. The Software Protection Regulations were promulgated, among other things, to protect the copyright of
computer software in China. According to the Software Protection Regulations, computer software that is independently developed
and exists in a physical form or is attached to physical goods will be protected. However, such protection does not apply to any
ideas, mathematical concepts, processing and operation methods used in the development of software solutions.
Under the Software Protection Regulations, PRC citizens, legal
persons and organizations shall enjoy copyright protection over computer software that they have developed, regardless of whether
the software has been published. Foreigners or any person without a nationality shall enjoy copyright protection over computer
software that they have developed, as long as such computer software was first distributed in China. Software of foreigners or
any person without a nationality shall enjoy copyright protection in China under these regulations in accordance with a bilateral
agreement signed between China and the country to which the developer is a citizen of or in which the developer habitually resides,
or in accordance with an international treaty to which China is a party.
Under the Software Protection Regulations, owners of software
copyright protection shall enjoy the rights of publication, authorship, modification, duplication, issuance, lease, transmission
on the information network, translation, licensing and transfer. Software copyright protection takes effect on the day of completion
of the software’s development.
The protection period for software developed by legal persons
and other organizations is 50 years and ends on the thirty-first day of December of the fiftieth year from the date the software
solution was first published. However, the Software Protection Regulations will not protect the software if it is published within
50 years of the completion of its development. A contract of licensing shall be made to license others to exploit the software
copyright, and if the licensing of exploitation of software copyright is exclusive, a written contract shall be made. A written
contract also shall be made for the transfer of any software copyright.
Civil remedies available under the Software Protection Regulations
against infringements of copyright include cessation of the infringement, elimination of the effects, apology and compensation
for losses. The administrative department of copyright shall order the infringer of software copyright to stop all infringing acts,
confiscate illegal gains, confiscate and destroy infringing copies, and may impose a fine on the offender under certain circumstances.
Disputes regarding infringements of software copyright may be settled through mediation. In addition, the parties involved in the
disputes may apply for arbitration in accordance with any arbitration provisions set forth in the copyright contract or arbitration
agreement otherwise entered into between or among the parties. If the parties neither have an arbitration provision in the copyright
contract, nor an arbitration agreement, they may resolve their dispute through the PRC courts directly.
Software Copyright Registration
On February 20, 2002, the State Copyright Administration
of the PRC promulgated and enforced the
Measures Concerning Registration of Computer Software Copyright Procedures
, or the
Registration Procedures, to implement the Software Protection Regulations and to promote the development of China’s software
industry. The Registration Procedures apply to the registration of software copyrights and software copyright exclusive licensing
contracts and assignment contracts. The registrant of a software copyright will either be the copyright owner, or another person
(whether a natural person, legal person or an organization) in whom the software copyright becomes vested through succession, assignment
or inheritance.
Pursuant to the Registration Procedures, the software to be
registered must (i) have been independently developed or (ii) significantly improve in its function or performance after modification
from the original software with the permission of the original copyright owner. If the software being registered is developed by
more than one person, the copyright owners may nominate one person to handle the copyright registration process on behalf of the
other copyright owners. If the copyright owners fail to reach an agreement with respect to the registration, any of the copyright
owners may apply for registration but the names of the other copyright owners must be recorded on the application.
The registrant of a software copyright and the parties to a
software copyright assignment contract or exclusive licensing contract may apply to the Copyright Protection Center of the PRC
for registration of such software copyright and contracts. To register a software copyright, the following documents shall be submitted:
(i) a completed software copyright registration application form in accordance with relevant requirements; (ii) identification
materials of software; and (iii) relevant documentation demonstrating ownership. To register a software copyright assignment contract
or exclusive licensing contract, the following materials shall be submitted: (i) a completed contract registration form in accordance
with relevant requirements; (ii) a copy of the contract; and (iii) the applicant’s identification documents. The Copyright
Protection Center of the PRC will complete its examination of an accepted application within 60 days of the date of acceptance.
If an application complies with the requirements of the Software Protection Regulations and the Registration Procedures, a registration
will be granted, a corresponding registration certificate will be issued and the registration will be publicly announced.
Software Products Administration
On October 27, 2000, the MIIT issued and enforced the
Measures
Concerning Software Products Administration
, to regulate and administer software products and promote the development of the
software industry in China. Pursuant to the
Measures Concerning Software Products Administration
, all software products
operated or sold in China had to be duly registered and recorded with the relevant authorities, and no entity or individual is
allowed to sell or distribute any unregistered and unrecorded software products.
To produce software products in China, a software producer was
required to meet the following requirements: (i) it possessed the status of an enterprise legal person, and its scope of operations
included the computer software business (including technology development of software or production of software products); (ii)
it had a fixed production site; (iii) it possessed necessary conditions and technologies for producing software products; and (iv)
it possessed quality control measures and capabilities for the production of software products. Software developers or producers
were allowed to sell their registered and recorded software products independently or through agents, or by way of licensing. Software
products developed in China had to be registered with the local provincial governmental authorities in charge of information industry
and then filed with the taxation authority at the same level and MIIT. Imported software products (software developed overseas
and sold or distributed into China), had to be registered with the MIIT. Upon registration, the software products had to be granted
registration certificates. Each registration certificate was valid for five years from the issuance date and could be renewed upon
expiry. The MIIT and other relevant departments carried out supervision and inspection over the development, production, operation
and import/export activities of software products in China.
On March 1, 2009, the MIIT promulgated the amended and
restated
Measures Concerning Software Products Administration
, or the New Measures, which became effective on April 10,
2009. Under the New Measures, software products operated or sold in China are not required to be registered or recorded by relevant
authorities, and software products developed in China (including those developed in China on the basis of imported software) can
enjoy certain favorable policies when they have been registered and recorded. The New Measures also eliminated the October 2000
requirements set forth above.
Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and
Integrated Circuit Industries
On June 24, 2000, the State Council issued
Certain Policies
to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries
, or the Policies, to encourage the development of
the software and integrated circuit industries in China and to enhance the competitiveness of the PRC information technology industry
in the international market. The Policies encourage the development of the software and integrated circuit industries in China
through various methods, including:
|
(i)
|
Encouraging venture capital investment in the software industry and providing or assisting software enterprises to raise capital overseas;
|
|
(ii)
|
Providing tax incentives, including an immediate tax rebate for taxpayers who sell self-developed software products, before 2010, of the amount of the statutory value-added tax that exceeds 3% and a number of exemptions and reduced enterprise income tax rates;
|
|
(iii)
|
Providing government support, such as government funding in the development of software technology;
|
|
(iv)
|
Providing preferential treatment, such as credit facilities with low interest rates to enterprises that export software products;
|
|
(v)
|
Taking various strategies to ensure that the software industry has sufficient expertise; and
|
|
(vi)
|
Implementing measures to enhance intellectual property protection in China.
|
To qualify for preferential treatment, an enterprise must be
recognized as a software enterprise by governmental authorities. A software enterprise is subject to annual inspection, failure
of which in a given year shall cause the enterprise not to be able to enjoy the relevant benefits.

officers and general employees and other policies, and for providing assistance and recommendations with respect to our compensation
policies and practices. Currently, Xiaojun Li and Hongjie Chen are members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee

Policy Regarding Board Attendance
Our directors are expected to attend meetings of the Board of
Directors as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and to spend the time needed to prepare for each
such meeting. Our directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring
them to do so.
Shareholder Communications
We have a process for shareholders who wish to communicate with
the Board of Directors. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board may write to it at our address given above. These communications
will be reviewed by one or more of our employees designated by the Board, who will determine whether they should be presented to
the Board. The purpose of this screening is to allow the Board to avoid having to consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications.
Background and Compensation Philosophy
Our Board of Directors has not adopted or established a formal
policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers. No pre-established, objective performance
goals or metrics have been used by the Board of Directors in determining the compensation of our executive officers.
Elements of Compensation
Some of our executive officers receive a base salary to compensate
them for services rendered during the year. Our policy of compensating our certain executives with a cash salary has served the
Company well. Because of our history of attracting and retaining executive talent, we do not believe it is necessary at this time
to provide our executives equity incentives, or other benefits for the Company to continue to be successful.
Base Salary and Bonus.
The value of base
salary and bonus for each our executive reflects his skill set and the market value of that skill set in the sole discretion of
the Board of Directors.
Equity Incentives.
The Company and its subsidiaries
have not established an equity based incentive program and have not granted stock based awards as a component of compensation.
In the future, we may make awards under an equity incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted if our Compensation Committee
determines that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to do so.
Retirement Benefits.
Our executive officers
are not presently entitled to company-sponsored retirement benefits.
Perquisites.
We have not provided our executive
officers with any material perquisites and other personal benefits and, therefore, we do not view perquisites as a significant
or necessary element of our executive’s compensation.
Deferred Compensation.
We do not provide
our executives the opportunity to defer receipt of annual compensation.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that
person, securities that are currently convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock, or convertible or exercisable
into shares of our Common Stock within 60 days of the date hereof are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed
outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to
the following table, each stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth
opposite such stockholder’s name. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 36,444,850 shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of August 6, 2012.
|
|
|
|
|

|
Includes the total number of shares of Common Stock that each Selling Stockholder intends to sell, regardless of the 9.99%
beneficial ownership limitation, more fully explained in footnote 3.

|
|
|
(3)
|
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, at no time may a holder exercise such holder’s
Warrant if the exercise would result in such holder beneficially owning
(as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder) more than 9.99% of our then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a purchaser providing
us with sixty-one days’ notice that such purchaser wishes to
waive the cap, then the cap will be of no force or effect with regard
to all or a portion of the shares referenced in the waiver notice.
The 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation does not prevent a stockholder
from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.
Accordingly, each stockholder could exercise and sell more than 9.99%
of our Common Stock without ever at any one time holding more than
this limit.

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares under Rule 144
under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests
therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which
may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders
may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge
the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities
which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Shares offered by this prospectus, which shares
such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect
such transaction).
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange
for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders
(or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling
Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations,
the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an
amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list
of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common
Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that
are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection
with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions
and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Shares will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or
the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to
this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase
of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute
any such securities.
TriPoint Global Equities, LLC (“TriPoint Global”)
is a registered broker dealer and FINRA member firm and listed as a Selling Stockholder in this prospectus. TriPoint Global served
as placement agent for our Private Placement, which was completed on February 26, 2010. Syndicated Capital, Inc., Brill Securities,
Meyer Associates LP and SHP Securities, LLC also served as sub-placement agents in connection with the Private Placement and received
the shares they are offering for resale in this prospectus as placement agent compensation in connection with the Private Placement.
We entered into a placement agent agreement with TriPoint Global
on October 27, 2009 whereby we paid a cash fee to TriPoint Global equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by us in connection
with the Private Placement and we issued to TriPoint Global and its designees (i) Warrants to purchase 787,342 shares of Common
Stock, (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. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes the shares of Common Stock underlying
Warrants granted to TriPoint Global and its designees. The Warrants granted to TriPoint Global and its designees expire on February
26, 2013. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of placement agent Warrants received by TriPoint Global are transferable
within TriPoint Global or to its assigns or designees, at the discretion of TriPoint Global, and in accordance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
TriPoint Capital Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of TriPoint Global,
received 820,634 shares of our Common Stock in February 2010 pursuant to the Share Exchange.
TriPoint Global does not have an underwriting agreement with
us and/or the Selling Stockholders and no Selling Stockholders are required to execute transactions through TriPoint Global. Further,
other than any existing brokerage relationship as customers with TriPoint Global, no Selling Stockholders has any pre-arranged
agreement, written or otherwise, with TriPoint Global to sell their securities through TriPoint Global.
FINRA Rule 5110 requires FINRA member firms (unless an exemption
applies) to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 5110 in connection with the resale, on behalf of Selling Stockholders, of the
securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a Selling Stockholder intends
to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this prospectus through a member of FINRA participating in a distribution of
our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance
Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:
|
·
|
it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;
|
|
·
|
the complete details of how the selling shareholders’ shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;
|
|
·
|
whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and
|
|
·
|
in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a
|
|
|
member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA for review.
|
No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that
allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 2710, in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling shareholders,
which total compensation may not exceed 8%.
We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use
Shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this registration
statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the
Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be
responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder
promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales
of their respective Shares under this registration statement.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the Shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. The Company has agreed
to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares:
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 36,444,850 shares are outstanding, and 25,000,000
shares of the Company’s preferred stock are authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 15,000,000 shares are designated
and authorized as Series A Preferred Stock, of which nil share is outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cast one vote for each
share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. The holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefore. See “Dividend Policy.” Such holders do not have any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional
shares. All holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets for distribution to shareholders upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. There are no conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
We have 25,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock par
value $.001 per share, of which 15,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, of which nil share is issued and
outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Voting Rights
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have class voting rights
with respect to actions that may materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders, including (i) authorizing, creating,
issuing or increasing the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of preferred stock, ranking pari passu or senior to
the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, (ii) amending, altering or repealing the
provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) issuing any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (iv) repurchasing, redeeming
or paying dividends on, shares of Common Stock or shares of equity securities that do not rank pari passu or senior to the Series
A Preferred Stock, or “Junior Stock”, (v) amending the articles of incorporation or by-laws, (vi) effecting a distribution
with respect to the Junior Stock, (vii) reclassifying outstanding securities, (viii) voluntarily filing for bankruptcy, liquidating
assets or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ix) materially changing the nature of our business. Without the
affirmative vote or consent of the holder of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time,
given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock vote separately
as a class, such actions are prohibited. Except with respect to transactions upon which the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to vote separately as a class and as otherwise required by Nevada law, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
The shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible will, upon issuance, have all of the same voting
rights as other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and none of the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Dividends Rights
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8% per annum, payable at our option in cash or by issuing to the holder of Series A
Preferred Stock such number of additional Conversion Shares which, when multiplied by $3.50, would equal the amount of such quarterly
dividend not paid in cash.
Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
At any time on or after the issuance date, the holder of any
such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the holder’s option, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient of (i) the series A liquidation preference amount ($3.50) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted divided
by (ii) the conversion price, which initially is $3.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments, such as in the event of (i) combination,
stock split, or reclassification of the Common Stock; (ii) distribution of dividends; (iii) reclassification, exchange or substitution,
(iv) reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets or (iv) the issuance or sale of additional shares of Common Stock
or Common Stock equivalents. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock convert into shares of Common Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion
would cause the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, when aggregated
with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, result in such holder and its affiliates
beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time. However, a holder
of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to waive this cap upon a 61-day notice to us.
Failure to Timely Convert
If within three business days, with respect to our Common Stock
being issued upon conversion, and within five business days in the event a new preferred stock certificate is being issued, of
our receipt of an executed copy of a conversion notice the transfer agent fails to issue and deliver to a holder the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or
within five trading days fails to issue a new preferred stock certificate representing the number of Series A Preferred Stock to
which such holder is entitled, we will pay additional damages to such holder on each trading day after such third or fifth trading
day, as the case may be, that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which such holder is entitled and, in the
event we failed to deliver a preferred stock certificate to the holder on a timely basis, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate, as of the last possible date
which we could have issued such certificate to such holder timely and (B) the closing bid price of our Common Stock on the last
possible date which we could have issued such Common Stock and such preferred stock certificate, as the case may be, to such holder
timely. If we fail to pay those additional damages within five trading days of the date incurred, then such payment will bear interest
at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until such payments are made.
For the purposes of this provision with respect to our Common
Stock, the term “closing bid price” shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price of such
security on the NASDAQ or other principal exchange on which such security is traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing
bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or,
if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for
such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. If the closing bid price cannot be calculated
for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the closing bid price of such security on such date shall be the
fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, as applicable.
Liquidation Rights of Series A Preferred Stock
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled
to receive, out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidation preference amount of $3.50 per share for
the Series A Preferred Stock, before any payment is made or any assets are distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any
other junior stock. If our assets are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference amount payable to the holders of
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock preferred stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights
on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. All payments pursuant
thereto are to be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by us and
reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided, however,
that no cash is to be paid to holders of junior stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
have been paid in cash the full liquidation preference amount to which such holder is entitled as provided herein.
Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants
Series A Warrants
We have Series A Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 Series
A Warrant Shares outstanding. The Series A Warrants:
(a) entitle
the holder to purchase that number of Series A Warrant Shares as is equal to 25% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
included in the Units and underlying the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by such holder;
(b) are

daily trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds 75,000 shares for 15 consecutive trading days at a price equal to $0.001 per called
Series A Warrant Share.
Series B Warrants
We have Series B Warrants to purchase up to 1,968,363 Series
B Warrant Shares outstanding. The Series B Warrants:
(a) entitle
the holder to purchase that number of Series B Warrant Shares as is equal to 25% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
included in the Units and underlying the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by such holder;
(b) are
exercisable at any time after the Closing Date and shall expire three years therefrom;
(c) are
exercisable, in whole or in part, at the Series B Warrant Exercise Price of $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of certain events, including recapitalizations or consolidations, combinations of our Common Stock;

covering such shares is not effective); and
(e) are
callable by us following the date that the Common Stock equals or exceeds $11.50 for 15 consecutive trading days and the average
daily trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds 75,000 shares for 15 consecutive trading days at a price equal to $0.001 per called
Series B Warrant Share.
As of the date of this prospectus, none of the Series A Warrants
or Series B Warrants have been exercised.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
If, upon exercise of a Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we shall round the number
of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, we will not
effect the exercise of any Warrants, and no person who is a holder of any Warrant has the right to exercise his/her Warrant, if
after giving effect to such exercise, such person would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our
Common Stock. However, a holder of Warrants is entitled to waive this restriction upon 61 days prior written notice to us.

Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital
stock and do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payments of future
dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors
that our board of directors may deem relevant.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation
Plans
As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any equity
compensation plans.
Equity Repurchases
None.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and our bylaws and articles of incorporation.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company
or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company’s articles
of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
|
(1)
|
a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
|
|
(2)
|
a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
|
|
(3)
|
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
|
Our bylaws and articles of incorporation provide that we will
indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents, to the fullest extent to the extent required by the Nevada Revised Statutes
and shall indemnify such individuals to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes. We may purchase and maintain liability
insurance, or make other arrangements for such obligations or otherwise, to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The following is a summary of the relevant provisions in our
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law with regard to limitation of liability and indemnification of our officers, directors
and employees. The full provisions are contained in the Nevada Revised Statutes and such documents.
Indemnification.
Our directors and officers
are indemnified as provided by our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our bylaws and articles
of incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents, to the fullest extent to the extent
required by the Nevada Revised Statutes and shall indemnify such individuals to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.
We may purchase and maintain liability insurance, or make other arrangements for such obligations or otherwise, to the extent permitted
by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our bylaws and Nevada laws permit us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if he has exercised his powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation; or acted in
good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
We will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification
may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amount paid in settlement to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines
upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Limitation of Liability.
Our articles of
incorporation limit the liability of our directors and officers under certain circumstances. Our articles of incorporation provide
that the liability of directors or officers for monetary damages are eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against these
types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this
matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, both of which are likely
to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of our Common Stock offered hereby
has been passed upon for us by Lionel Sawyer & Collins, Las Vegas, Nevada.

consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income,
stockholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries
as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended March 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

business AND ORGANIZATION
|
Nature of operations
LianDi Clean Technology 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 software for the polymerization
process and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies
and other energy companies. The Company is also engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial chemical products, which is operated
through its equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”), that 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, 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 formed a
corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada named 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.

with 60% owned by Mr. Jianzhong Zuo (“Mr. Zuo,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company) and 40% owned
by another 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.) 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 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% 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 transfer of a 5% interest in China LianDi from
Mr. Zuo to each of Dragon Excel and Rapid Capital was effected for Mr. Zuo’s own personal reasons. The transfer of a 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.
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 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.
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, for cash consideration of $2,272.

Pursuant to an investment agreement signed
on August 3, 2011, and approved by the shareholders of Anhui Jucheng, six unaffiliated 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 on August 9, 2011, of which RMB7.74 million was credited as registered capital
(the enlarged registered capital became RMB33.25 million) and RMB134.26 million 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.

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 owned an aggregate of 18,513,738 shares of the Company’s
common stock, which constituted approximately 51% of the outstanding common shares of the Company as of March 31, 2012. 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 remained 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 joinder
agreement to 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
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”).
The 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 consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 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 for the years
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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.
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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately $7.65 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
|
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 the 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 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, plant and
equipment
Property, plant 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, plant 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 in a business combination 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 two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
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 Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”
issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”): (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 title to the products passes 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” and ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. 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 ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”.
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 two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
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 consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive 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 two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 consolidated statements of income
and comprehensive income and amounted to $945,937 and $761,177 for the two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Typically,
the Company does not charge customers for these costs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
|
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income taxes”. 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 tax jurisdictions
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).
The following table is a reconciliation
of the net income and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods
presented:

stock, respectively, because their effect was anti-dilutive.
The diluted earnings per share calculation
for the year ended March 31, 2011 did not include the warrants and options to purchase up to 3,438,972 and 107,973 shares of common
stock, respectively, and the effect of convertible preferred stock, because their effect was anti-dilutive.
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 FASB ASC Topic 830, “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 have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the
Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been
determined that the functional currency of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Historically, the sales and purchase
contracts of the Company’s 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 the Company’s PRC
subsidiaries 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:
|
March 31, 2012
|
|
March 31, 2011
|
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
|
US$1=RMB6.2943

|
|

|
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, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments to suppliers,
short term bank loans, accounts payable, other payables and due to shareholders.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated
fair values of these 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”,
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.

Recent accounting pronouncements
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 U.S. 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 consolidated financial
statements.
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 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 consolidated
financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements
(Continued)
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 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. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2011-12 will have
no material impact on the Company’s 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 March 31, 2012 and

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 two years
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $651,208 and $623,208, respectively.
The estimated amortization expense of intangible
assets over each of the next five years and thereafter will be $661,451 per annum.

INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCE TO 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 one director out of a total of five
to the board of directors. Accordingly, the Company exercises significant influence on Anhui Jucheng and thus Anhui Jucheng is
accounted for as an equity method affiliate since August 30, 2011. The Company initially measured ( 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
ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, 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.”

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
|
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.
For the year ended March 31,
2012, 5,517,970 shares of preferred stock were converted into 5,517,970 shares of common stock.

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
|
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.
On February 26, 2012, 4,675,766
shares of the Company’s outstanding Series A preferred stock, which had not been voluntarily converted into the Company’s
common shares, were fully converted to the Company’s common shares under the Mandatory Conversion clause described above.
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 until they are converted into the Company’s common stock.

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:

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 year ended March 31, 2011 was $4,007,745.
No further accretion was required after March 31, 2011.

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.

The Company records and reports
stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which services are received. Stock compensation
for stock granted to non-employees is determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company valued these options utilizing the Black-Scholes options pricing
model using the following assumptions at approximately $1.42 per option, and recorded $80,965 and $344,103 as stock-based professional

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 during the two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 because its statutory reserves of $1,138,733 at March 31, 2009 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 two years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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.

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, the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries 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. Beijing
Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng are subject to an EIT rate of 25% for the two years ended March 31, 2012 and 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at March 31, 2012
and 2011 were RMB635,873,058 ($101,023,634) and RMB346,109,423 ($52,789,552).

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 of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company
did not have any other significant temporary differences and carry forwards that may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2012 and 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 two years ended March 31, 2012
and 2011, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of March 31, 2012 and 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.

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 March 31, 2012 and 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 March 31, 2012, one customer individually accounted for 87% of the accounts receivable of the Company. As of March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 76% and 10% of the accounts receivable 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 March 31, 2012 or 2011.
|
·
|
During the year ended March 31, 2012, two customers individually accounted for 49% and 27% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2011, two customers individually accounted for 35% and 32% 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 years ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.
|
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 year ended March 31, 2012, two suppliers together accounted for 61% of the Company’s costs of revenue (37% and 24% individually). During the year ended March 31, 2011, two suppliers together accounted for 53% of the Company’s costs of revenue (33% and 20% 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.

In the normal course of business, the Company
entered into operating lease agreements for the rental of offices. The Company was obligated under operating leases requiring minimum
amounts as of March 31, 2012 as follows:
|
|

During the two years ended March 31, 2012
and 2011, rental expenses under operating leases amounted to $437,221 and $377,299, respectively.
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280,
“Segment Reporting”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions 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.

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
|
The Company’s subsidiaries in the
PRC may only pay dividends out of their retained earnings determined in accordance with the accounting standards and regulations
in the PRC and after it has met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves (see Note 23).
In addition, the business transactions
and assets of Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng are primarily denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible
into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other
banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval
of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment
application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. These currency exchange control
measures imposed by the PRC government may restrict the ability of Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng to transfer
their net assets to the Company through loans, advances or cash dividends. The net assets of Beijing JianXin, Beijing
Hongteng and Anhui Jucheng in aggregate exceeded 25% of the Company’s consolidated net assets. Accordingly, condensed parent
company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 5.04 and Rule 12-04 of SEC Regulation S-X.
The Company records its investment in
subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. Such investment and long-term loans to subsidiaries are
presented on the balance sheet as “Investments in subsidiaries” and the income of the subsidiaries is presented
as “Equity in earnings of subsidiaries” on the statement of income.
These supplemental condensed parent company’s
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been
condensed or omitted.
As of March 31, 2012 and 2011 there were
no material contingencies, significant provisions for long-term obligations, or guarantees of the Company, except as separately
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Indemnification.
Our directors and
officers are indemnified as provided by our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our bylaws and
articles of incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents, to the fullest extent
to the extent required by the Nevada Revised Statutes and shall indemnify such individuals to the extent permitted by the Nevada
Revised Statutes. We may purchase and maintain liability insurance, or make other arrangements for such obligations or otherwise,
to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our bylaws and Nevada laws permit us to indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he has exercised his powers in good faith and with a view to the
interests of the corporation; or acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful.
We will indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amount
paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Limitation of Liability.
Our articles
of incorporation limit the liability of our directors and officers under certain circumstances. Our articles of incorporation provide
that the liability of directors or officers for monetary damages are eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
In the event that a claim for indemnification
against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating
to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, both of which
are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.

UNDERTAKINGS.
Undertaking Required by Item 512 of Regulation
S-K.
(a) The
undersigned registrant will:
(1) File,
during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) include
any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For
determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File
a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) For
determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities,
the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser
by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer
or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;
(iii) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and
(iv) Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date
the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale
of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any
person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with
a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
