Xin Ao Construction Materials, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively after the Combination “China-ACM” or “the Company”) is a producer of advanced construction materials for large scale commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments. The Company is primarily focused on producing and supplying a wide range of advanced ready-mix concrete materials for highly technical, large scale, and environmental construction projects. The Company also aims to develop and produce new and innovative environmentally conscious construction materials.
The Company experienced revenue growth in excess of 44% in FY06 and 22% in FY07 and expects to grow rapidly by opening additional facilities and exploring acquisition opportunities. China-ACM generated over $21 million USD in sales, and over $4.5 million in after-tax comprehensive income in FY2007.
China-ACM is a producer of advanced ready mix concrete materials that is committed to leading the industry with:
The Company is able to meet the stringent environmental and technical needs of a rapidly growing market. The types of projects that are conducted include large express railways, bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, dams, and nuclear reactor infrastructure projects that many competitors are not able to produce due to technical difficulties, resource and information limitations.
China-ACM is considered a construction materials provider in the Beijing market with an estimated 6.8% market share in the open tendered ready mix concrete market and is planning to rapidly gain market share while expanding into new markets. The open tendered market makes up approximately 20% of the ready mix concrete market in Beijing.
The Company owns one plant that has an operating capacity of 768,000 cubic meters per year based on 16 hour shifts per day and 300 working days per year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company produced 660,000 cubic meters ready mix concrete reflecting a utilization of 86% of capacity of this plant. In addition, the Company has two newly leased plants that commenced operations in March 2008 that will produce more ready mix concrete for fulfillment of signed contracts
Furthermore, the Company plans to add two additional plants outside of Beijing to meet its capacity and geographical needs of significant contracts. Specifically, China-ACM plans to build two new plants, one along Beijing - Shanghai High Speed Railway and one in the Tianjin and Bohai Bay areas.
Xin Ao’s Technical services and preferred procurement agreements with four independently operated plants provide network leverage and more geographic technical services and product coverage.
Furthermore, Xin Ao continued innovation and vertical integration in its material supply chain, acquisition or development of material recycling centers, and its continued innovation and application of new materials, will decrease its material costs.
China-ACM’s organizational structure was carefully developed to abide by the laws of the PRC and maintain optimal tax benefits as well as internal organizational efficiencies. The Company’s organization structure is summarized in the figure below:
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax, VAT, in accordance with Chinese laws. The VAT standard rate is 6% of the gross sales price for the company’s industry. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished product. Due to the fact that the Company uses recycled raw materials to manufacture its products, the State Administration of Taxation has granted the Company a VAT Tax Exemption from August 2005 through August 2009. The VAT taxes collected from customers are kept by the Company and recorded as “Other Subsidy Income” in other income, net in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company and its subsidiary are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws).
Xin Ao has been using recycled raw materials in its production since its inception which entitled the Company to an income tax exemption from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007 as granted by the State Administration of Taxation, PRC. The Company will apply for renewal of the income tax exemption. However in the interim, the Company estimates its income as of January 1, 2008 will be taxed at a rate of 25%.
PRC law requires that before a foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits to its partners, it must satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions made at the discretion of the board of directors, after the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund and represent restricted retained earnings.
China is one of the world’s largest construction materials producers, ranking first in the world’s annual output of cement, flat glass, building ceramic and ceramic sanitary ware. China's building materials market is expected to flourish in the next decade as hundreds of millions of citizens are expected to move into the urban areas. According to the Chinese Society of Structural Materials Industry, by 2011, the production value of the structural materials industry is projected to hit $294.8 billion.
Concrete product producers will remain the largest market for cement in China, accounting for 36-44% of all cement consumption in 2010. The government���s continued efforts to modernize the country’s infrastructure is exemplified by such massive projects as the South-North Water Diversion -- designed to redirect water to the northern plains from Central and South China. This project, scheduled for completion in 2050, will result in annual cement consumption of over one million metric tons alone.
China accounts for half of all new building activity in the world and rapid expansion is expected to continue to 2030 as up to 400 million citizens are expected to move into urban areas.
Residential and non-residential buildings in China are increasingly requiring much more concrete due to the short supply of wood, and also because China is a building industry that uses more concrete, brick and steel than Western countries. China is currently the largest consumption market of cement worldwide; an over $200 billion industry. China’s cement consumption will amount to approximately 44% of global demand in 2008 and will be greater than both India and the U.S.‘s current consumption combined by 2010. The government’s continued efforts to modernize the country’s infrastructure is exemplified by such massive projects as the South-North Water Diversion as mentioned earlier. At this rate, it is presumed that China will continue to be an important player in the global construction materials marketplace for at least the next two decades.
Cement demand in the ready-mixed concrete market will post the strongest gains of any market category through 2010, with an annual increase of 11.2%. Recognizing the environmental devastation created from the massive construction activities undergone in the past couple of decades, and the thousands more in the foreseeable future, China’s government implemented Decree #341 in 2004. This law bans onsite concrete production in over 200 major cities across China in order to reduce environmental damages from onsite cement mixing and improve the quality of concrete used in construction.
China’s concrete market is considered very competitive, with over 100,000 providers. Global Information Inc. (GII) reports that ready-mix concrete companies will benefit from an extremely favorable outlook in China, where large-scale construction projects will require significant amounts of ready-mix concrete. In the Beijing concrete market, for example, no competitor has greater than a 10% market share.
China-ACM currently has an estimated market share of 6.8% in the open tendered ready mix concrete market in Beijing. Management believes China-ACM has the ability to capture a much greater share of the Beijing market and further expand its foot print in China via expanding relationships and networking, signing new contracts, and continually developing market-leading innovative and eco-friendly ready mix products.
China-ACM is an environmentally sensitive producer of advanced ready-mix concrete materials that is committed to leading the industry through an extensive use of recyclable materials, efficient production procedures, sealed delivery methods and innovative products and practices.
In fiscal year 2007 and in the first half of its fiscal year 2008, China-ACM operated only its owned plant with a operating capacity of 768,000 cubic meters. In fiscal year 2007, China-ACM produced approximately 660,000 cubic meters ready mix concrete. In second half of its fiscal year 2008, China-ACM entered leasing agreements with Beijing Xiangjia Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Xiangjia”) and Beijing Xinbiao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Xinbiao”) The two newly leased plants increased China-ACM’s operating capacity from 768,000 cubic meters to 1,584,000 cubic meters, which represents an increase of 816,000 cubic meters in total operating capacity.
China-ACM owned plant currently operates from a 44,401 square meter facility that is located in Beijing, with 4,500 square meters allocated for facilities and offices. This facility features sophisticated infrastructure for efficient use of raw materials, computerized monitoring, testing of production runs, and carefully coordinated delivery of raw materials. Since daily production volumes are dependent upon timing and the delivery schedules of contracted projects, annual capacity can fluctuate but is estimated to be roughly 550,000 to 800,000 cubic meters annually actually produced. This facility is capable of operating on a 24/7 basis to meet optimal capacity maximization during peak construction periods. The Company has also received ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO28001 certifications.
China-ACM is led by a well-rounded management team that in five years has built a fast-growing, highly-profitable concrete company. This has been achieved by consistently delivering quality products and services backed by a team of dedicated managers and employees. Collectively, the management team is well-educated in engineering, operations, construction materials and concrete experience. Through the Company’s extensive relationships with R&D institutions and industry associations, China-ACM has access to a large pool of experienced managers and knowledgeable advisors.
The R&D Institute is 50% owned by Xianfu Han (Chairman), 45% by Weili He (Vice Chairman), and 5% Laijnu Lu (Chief Engineer & VP).
The R&D Institute provides China-ACM with exclusive access to the latest material science and technology in aggregate, high performance concrete and pre-cast concrete via a 5-year technology transfer agreement. China-ACM’s research and development expense amounted to $165,404 and $213,430 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company currently employs 182 employees and expects to rapidly expand its employee base with experienced engineers, lab directors, sales managers, sales representatives, as well as technical college graduates and skilled laborers/drivers. The Company’s personnel base is projected to increase substantially with the Company’s expansion and opening of new plants and mixing facilities.
China-ACM is committed to the development of environmentally sensitive products in hopes of lessening the extent of global warming in China. The Company uses components in their cement mixtures that are environmentally friendly and satisfactory to the Chinese government’s regulations. China-ACM’s goal is to continue to use at least 30% recyclable components in their mixtures in order to do their part in fighting global warming. In addition, the Company is working to take a strong leadership position in addressing environmental issues by:
The Company is currently discussing the development of a standards board that will assist the government in setting national guidelines and recommendations.
China-ACM hopes to be one of the leading companies making positive changes towards environmental protection initiatives in China. Future aspirations include setting attainable goals for the recycling and proper disposal of waste materials. One of these practices will be to adhere to the philosophy of industrial ecology, which is the use of waste from other industries as raw material.
China-ACM has received many notable awards, honors and certifications in conjunction with its products and services in the construction industry.
China-ACM has successfully grown since its inception five years ago. The Company, upon securing further financing, aspires to be a leader in the concrete manufacturing industry by increasing its manufacturing capacity, geographic expansion, continued research and innovation, product line additions to build on its impressive reputation.
China-ACM plans to add two to three additional plants within the next six to eighteen months in order to meet existing contracts and anticipated demand. Management plans to add three more mixer stations in FY2009 and FY2010 as part of its long-term company expansion plans.
Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railways has total construction budgets of $11.6 billion (RMB837 billion reported by Jing Hua News, Jan.6, 2008 issue). China-ACM is currently working on securing ready-mix concrete contracts from rewarded general contractors.
Having taken part in the successful completion of the Dongguan Bridge Project, China-ACM sees Tianjin City as a ripe opportunity for further geographic expansion. Tianjin’s proximity to Beijing is merely 120 km away, and this is a desirable opportunity because Tianjin is the 3rd largest city in China with no dominant players in the local concrete sector.
Given that smaller companies may find it difficult to survive in a competitive marketplace, buying rather than building capacity is an option that will be considered by China-ACM if replacement cost is higher than purchase prices. The Company is currently looking into acquiring smaller concrete manufacturers in China as part of their company expansion plan; further information will be reported when key details have been confirmed. No Letters-of-Intent have been entered into or specific targets identified at this time.
If China-ACM is able to secure financing and grow its revenues in subsequent years, the Company plans to acquire smaller companies within the construction industry, develop more material recycling centers, and hire more industry talents.
As architectural designs have become more complex, challenging, and modern in scope, the need for technology driven companies such as China-ACM to provide high-end specialty concrete mixtures has been rapidly accelerating. Increasing demand for state-of-the-art cement mixtures has spurred the Company’s technological innovation and its ability to provide advanced mixtures of building materials that meet project specific engineering and environmental specifications. The Company produces a C15 to C100 range of concrete materials and specializes in an array of specialized ready-mixed concretes tailored to each project’s technical specifications and environmental standards.
China-ACM is building a product portfolio that serves the diverse needs of its developing customer pipeline, as well as their unique construction and infrastructure projects. The Company mainly specializes in ready-mix concrete formulations from controlled low-strength material to high-strength concrete, each specifically formulated to meet the individual needs of each project. The Company provides both industry standard and highly innovative products which include:
The Company was also the exclusive concrete supplier to the new U.S. Embassy Project, which satisfied both the U.S. and the international ASTM standards. The U.S. Embassy project size was 50,000 cubic meters and in this regard, the U.S. Embassy purchased its materials and China-ACM processed the ready mix concrete. The project was completed in 2007 with total project sales & services revenue of $400,000.
China-ACM’s sales strategy focuses on building new long-term cooperative relationships with some of China’s top construction companies as they leverage the Company’s reputation and enter new markets. The Company’s sales representatives are actively building relationships in target markets comprised of the Chinese government, general contractors, architects, engineers, and other potential sources of new business. Its sales efforts are further supported by the executive officers and engineering personnel, who have substantial experience in the design, formulation and implementation of advanced construction and concrete materials projects.
Marketing efforts are geared towards advancing China-ACM as the supplier of choice for building China’s most modern and challenging projects. The Company is constantly seeking ways to raise its profile and leverage additional publicity. To this end, the Company plans to expand its presence at leading construction industry events and in periodicals to build on its successful reputation. The primary goal when expanding into new markets is to reinforce the sales effort by promoting positive testimonials and success stories from the Company’s strong base of high profile clients.
China-ACM is already recognized as one of Beijing’s leading advanced concrete and construction materials companies. The Company’s strong contractor relationships, superior technical knowledge, and strong executive team all position China-ACM for strong continued growth.
China-ACM has thrived over the past five years by winning contracts with major construction contractors that are responsible for key infrastructure, commercial and residential projects. China-ACM focuses on large project and large customers. In the FY2007, top ten customers’ sales were 74.32% of company entire sales. Three large customers each have sales of 20%, 11.25%, and 10.83% of entire China-ACM sales.
Technological Knowledge
China-ACM’s technological knowledge gives it the ability to win major infrastructure projects, and winning major projects give the Company leverage to acquire less sophisticated operators, increase production volumes, and implement quality standards and environmentally sensitive policies. China-ACM’s 5 year contract with R&D Institute has exclusive terms.
Innovation Partners & Collaboration Efforts
The Company has close relationships with Tsinghua University and Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology and Beijing Dongfangjianyu Institute of Concrete Science & Technology (Beijing Concrete Institute). Through the 5 year contract between the two parties, China-ACM sets it apart from many of its competitors by gaining access to a wide array of resources and knowledge.
Size & Capital
Access to capital is increasingly becoming a key success factor in the Chinese concrete industry as pressure on prices and margins are threatening to squeeze out smaller-scale providers (200,000 to 300,000 actual operating capacity ones). Contracts are won on a bid basis, typically for the length of a project, which can be up to 2 years each. China-ACM’s owned Xin Ao plant is top one in capacity and equipment in Beijing area. General contractors frequently prefer to work with large plant operating companies.
After securing financing, China-ACM will be able to expand throughout China by acquiring more fixed operating assets, manufacturing facilities, industry talents, and developing brand marketing.

Successful Innovations
Some of China-ACM’s more advanced products and processes developed through its relationships with leading research institutes and universities include:
C100 High Performance Concrete
High Strength Concrete is often defined as concrete with a compressive strength greater than 6000 psi (41 MPa). The primary difference between high-strength concrete and normal-strength concrete relates to the compressive strength that refers to the maximum resistance of a concrete sample to applied pressure. Manufacturing high-strength concrete involves making optimal use of the basic ingredients that constitute normal-strength concrete.
Through its collaborative efforts China-ACM has developed a high performance concrete. This mixture can be produced at an impermeable grade above P35, and can be used for self-waterproofing concrete structural engineering as the water-cement (W/C) ratio and carbonized shrinking is minimal and the structure is close-grained.
Only a limited number of firms in the Beijing area have the expertise to produce C100 High Performance Concrete.
Compound Admixture Concrete
This new compound mineral admixture is a composite of coal powder, mineral powder and mineral activators blended to specific proportions. This new admixture improves activity, filling, and super-additive effects of the concrete and also improves the compatibility between cement and adding. The new admixture is the sixth composite of the concrete which adds water reducing admixture to produce a high quality concrete.
Lightweight Aggregate Concrete & Innovative Pumping Technology
This invention involves a pumping technology of lightweight aggregate. It is a pretreatment method of lightweight aggregate, i.e. pre-wet and pressurized pre-made shell technology. Setting appropriate times and pressure, lightweight aggregate will reach an appropriate saturation state under pressure after it is put into a custom designed sealed pressure vessel. After preservation, a shell will be made. Lightweight aggregate concrete prepared using the above pretreatment method, will dry quicker under pumping pressure, and maintain saturation state. Accordingly, lightweight aggregate concrete will be easily pumped which can shorten construction time.
Energy-saving Technologies of Phase Change Thermostat Concrete
Energy conservation concrete may adjust and reflect process temperature, and temperature self-control may solve cracking brought by cement heat of hydration in large-scale concrete.
Polycarboxylate Series High Performance Water Reducing Agent Compositing Technique
The research and produce of water reducing admixture in the world tends to be high performance and low pollutting. Super plasticizer Polycarboxylate series with high water reducing rates is an attractive admixture in that it prepares high strength concrete, super-strength concrete, high fluidity and super plasticizer concrete, self-dense concrete. The water reducing rate of Polycarboxylate series product may reach 20% to 25%, which is higher than the currently used Naphthaline series water reducing agent. The cost of the water reducing agent is well situated and it may be used to prepare high strength and performance concrete instead of the Naphthaline series water reducing agent.
Application of Reused Water in Concrete
The re-use of waste water of a concrete plant to mix concrete is significant as its saves production costs, minimizes fresh water use and represents an efficient approach to address industrial wastes. The practical application of this effort is a further step towards the goal of minimal pollution and emissions.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this offering that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
| · | SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR BUSINESS, ASSETS AND OPERATIONS ARE LOCATED IN CHINA. |
Substantially all of our business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects. The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on us.
| · | OUR PLANS TO BUILD ADDITIONAL PLANTS AND TO IMPROVE AND UPGRADE OUR INTERNAL CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN 2008. |
Our plans to build additional plants and to improve and upgrade our internal control and management system will require capital expenditures in 2008. We may also need further funding for working capital, investments, potential acquisitions and joint ventures and other corporate requirements. We cannot assure you that cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to fund these development plans, or that our actual capital expenditures and investments will not significantly exceed our current planned amounts. If either of these conditions arises, we may have to seek external financing to satisfy our capital needs. Our ability to obtain external financing at reasonable costs is subject to a variety of uncertainties. Failure to obtain sufficient external funds for our development plans could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating performance.
| · | THREE CUSTOMER ORDERS CONSISTED OF 42.08% OF THE NET SALES OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND THE LOSS OF ANY OF THESE THREE CUSTOMERS CAN RESULT IN A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON OUR NET PROFIT. |
Our Company focuses on large projects for large Chinese customers. In this regard, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, three Chinese customers orders consisted of 42.08% of the net sales of the Company. However, should we lose any of these three customers in the future and are unable to obtain additional customers, our net profit will decrease.
| · | WE MAY EXPERIENCE MAJOR ACCIDENTS IN THE COURSE OF OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURIES. |
We may experience major accidents in the course of our operations, which may cause significant property damage and personal injuries. Significant industry-related accidents and natural disasters may cause interruptions to various parts of our operations, or could result in property or environmental damage, increase in operating expenses or loss of revenue. The occurrence of such accidents and the resulting consequences may not be covered adequately, or at all, by the insurance policies we carry. In accordance with customary practice in China, we do not carry any business interruption insurance or third party liability insurance for personal injury or environmental damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations other than our automobiles. Losses or payments incurred may have a material adverse effect on our operating performance if such losses or payments are not fully insured.
| · | OUR PLANNED EXPANSION AND TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS COULD BE DELAYED OR ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FAILURES TO RECEIVE REGULATORY APPROVALS, DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING SUFFICIENT FINANCING, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, OR HUMAN OR OTHER RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS. |
Our planned expansion and technical improvement projects could be delayed or adversely affected by, among other things, failures to receive regulatory approvals, difficulties in obtaining sufficient financing, technical difficulties, or human or other resource constraints. Moreover, the costs involved in these projects may exceed those originally contemplated. Costs savings and other economic benefits expected from these projects may not materialize as a result of any such project delays, cost overruns or changes in market circumstances. Failure to obtain intended economic benefits from these projects could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating performances.
| · | WE COULD FACE INCREASED COMPETITION. |
Our principal market, Beijing, has enjoyed stronger economic growth and a higher demand for construction than other regions of China. As a result, we believe that competitors will try to expand their sales and build up their distribution networks in our principal market. We believe this trend will continue and probably accelerate. Increased competition may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
· | WE NEED TO MANAGE GROWTH IN OPERATIONS TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND ACHIEVE OUR EXPECTED REVENUES AND OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH WILL CAUSE A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE REVENUE AT LEVELS WE EXPECT. |
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our manufacturing and marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
· | WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT OUR ORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WHICH MAY RESULT IN A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR GROWTH, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOW. |
One of our strategies is to grow organically through increasing the distribution and sales of our products by penetrating existing markets in PRC and entering new geographic markets in PRC. However, many obstacles to entering such new markets exist including, but not limited to, established companies in such existing markets in the PRC. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our products in any additional markets. Our inability to implement this organic growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact on our growth, future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
· | IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS. |
If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake plant expansion, purchase additional machinery and purchase equipment for our operations and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.
In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control. If we need additional funding we will, most likely, seek such funding in the United States (although we may be able to obtain funding in the P.R.C.) and the market fluctuations affect on our stock price could limit our ability to obtain equity financing.
If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to: (i) limit our plant expansion; (ii) limit our marketing efforts; and (iii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures.
Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Units. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
| · | NEED FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES. |
The Company’s future success also depends upon its continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and the success of the Company will be highly dependent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for skilled personnel in the construction industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.
· | WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS. |
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
| · | THE TRANSACTION INVOLVES A REVERSE MERGER OF A FOREIGN COMPANY INTO A UNITED STATES SHELL COMPANY, SO THAT THERE IS NO HISTORY OF COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS AND ACCOUNTING RULES. |
In order to be able to comply with United States securities laws, the Company's operating subsidiary prepared its financial statements for the first time under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and recently had its initial audit of its financial statements in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). As the Company does not have a long term familiarity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, it may be more difficult for it to comply on a timely basis with SEC reporting requirements than a comparable domestic company.
| · | IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THE OVERALL RISKS OR COSTS WHEN WE BID ON A CONTRACT WHICH IS ULTIMATELY AWARDED TO US, WE MAY ACHIEVE A LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED PROFIT OR INCUR A LOSS ON THE CONTRACT. |
Substantially all of our revenues and contract backlog are typically derived from fixed unit price contracts. Fixed unit price contracts require us to perform the contract for a fixed unit price irrespective of our actual costs. As a result, we realize a profit on these contracts only if we successfully estimate our costs and then successfully control actual costs and avoid cost overruns. If our cost estimates for a contract are inaccurate, or if we do not execute the contract within our cost estimates, then cost overruns may cause the contract not to be as profitable as we expected, or may cause us to incur losses. This, in turn, could negatively affect our cash flow, earnings and financial position.
The costs incurred and gross profit realized on those contracts can vary, sometimes substantially, from the original projections due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
| • | | onsite conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid; |
| | | |
| • | | delays caused by weather conditions; |
| | | |
| • | | later contract start dates than expected when we bid the contract; |
| | | |
| • | | contract modifications creating unanticipated costs not covered by change orders; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in availability, proximity and costs of materials, including steel, concrete, aggregate and other construction materials (such as stone, gravel and sand), as well as fuel and lubricants for our equipment; |
| | | |
| • | | availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of a project; |
| | | |
| • | | our suppliers’ or subcontractors’ failure to perform; |
| | | |
| • | | fraud or theft committed by our employees; |
| | | |
| • | | mechanical problems with our machinery or equipment; |
| | | |
| • | | citations issued by governmental authorities |
| | | |
| • | | difficulties in obtaining required governmental permits or approvals; |
| | | |
| • | | changes in applicable laws and regulations; and |
| | | |
| • | | claims or demands from third parties alleging damages arising from our work or from the project of which our work is part. |
| · | ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS OR REDUCTIONS IN GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, OR THE CANCELLATION OF SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS, COULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITS AND HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Our business is highly dependent on the amount of infrastructure work funded by various governmental entities, which, in turn, depends on the overall condition of the economy, the need for new or replacement infrastructure, the priorities placed on various projects funded by governmental entities and national or local government spending levels. Decreases in government funding of infrastructure projects could decrease the number of civil construction contracts available and limit our ability to obtain new contracts, which could reduce our revenues and profits.
Contracts that we enter into with governmental entities can usually be canceled at any time by them with payment only for the work already completed. In addition, we could be prohibited from bidding on certain governmental contracts if we fail to maintain qualifications required by those entities. A sudden cancellation of a contract or our debarment from the bidding process could cause our equipment and work crews to remain idled for a significant period of time until other comparable work became available, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
| · | OUR OPERATIONS ARE CURRENTLY FOCUSED IN CHINA, AND ANY ADVERSE CHANGE TO THE ECONOMY OR BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IN CHINA COULD SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO LOWER REVENUES AND REDUCED PROFITABILITY. |
Our operations are currently concentrated in China. Because of this concentration in a specific geographic location, we are susceptible to fluctuations in our business caused by adverse economic or other conditions in this region, including natural or other disasters. A stagnant or depressed economy in China, or in any of the other markets that we serve, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
| · | OUR INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, WITH A VARIETY OF LARGER COMPANIES WITH GREATER RESOURCES COMPETING WITH US, AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY COULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF NEW CONTRACTS AWARDED TO US OR ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR MARGINS ON CONTRACTS AWARDED. |
Essentially all of the contracts on which we bid are awarded through a competitive bid process, with awards generally being made to the lowest bidder, but sometimes recognizing other factors, such as shorter contract schedules or prior experience with the customer. Within our markets, we compete with many national, regional and local construction firms. Some of these competitors have achieved greater market penetration than we have in the markets in which we compete, and some have greater financial and other resources than we have. In addition, there are a number of national companies in our industry that are larger than us that, if they so desired, could establish a presence in our markets and compete with us for contracts. As a result, we may need to accept lower contract margins in order to compete against these competitors. If we are unable to compete successfully in our markets, our relative market share and profits could be reduced.
| · | OUR DEPENDENCE ON SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS OF MATERIALS, INCLUDING PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS, COULD INCREASE OUR COSTS AND IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE CONTRACTS ON A TIMELY BASIS OR AT ALL, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROFITS AND CASH FLOW. |
We rely on third-party subcontractors to perform some of the work on many of our contracts. We do not bid on contracts unless we have the necessary subcontractors committed for the anticipated scope of the contract and at prices that we have included in our bid. Therefore, to the extent that we cannot obtain third-party subcontractors, our profits and cash flow will suffer.
| · | FOLLOWING CLOSE OF THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT OUR DIRECTORS WILL HAVE CONTROL OF US |
Xianfu Han, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Weile He, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the aggregate will own approximately 85.84% of our issued and outstanding common stock following the Closing of the Exchange Agreement. Therefore, they will control us and can control the election of our directors and officers.
Risks Relating to the People's Republic of China
| · | CERTAIN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PRC COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR COMPANY. |
The PRC is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC's economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of restrictions on currency conversion in addition to those described below.
| · | THE RECENT NATURE AND UNCERTAIN APPLICATION OF MANY PRC LAWS APPLICABLE TO US CREATE AN UNCERTAIN ENVIRONMENT FOR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND THEY COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON US. |
The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects.
| · | CURRENCY CONVERSION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. |
The PRC government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People's Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day's dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market conditions.
Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs, for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current account items.
Enterprises in the PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by providing valid receipts and proofs.
Convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions, and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be sought.
Furthermore, the Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies nor can it be freely remitted abroad. Under the PRC’s Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and the Administration of Settlement, Sales and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, Foreign Invested Enterprises are permitted either to repatriate or distribute its profits or dividends in foreign currencies out of its foreign exchange accounts, or exchange Renminbi for foreign currencies through banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Invested Enterprises for recurring items, including the distribution of dividends to foreign investors, is permissible. The conversion of Reminbi into foreign currencies for capital items, such as direct investment, loans and security investment, is subject, however, to more stringent controls.
China ACM’s operating companies are FIEs to which the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations are applicable. Accordingly, we will have to maintain sufficient foreign exchange to pay dividends and/or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements.
| · | EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. |
Since 1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollar has remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately RMB8.28 to $1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that it would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar and, the exchange rate for the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar became RMB8.02 to $1.00. If we decide to convert Chinese Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes and the United States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar equivalent of the Chinese Renminbi we convert would be reduced. There can be no assurance that future movements in the exchange rate of Renminbi and other currencies will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
| · | SINCE MOST OF OUR ASSETS ARE LOCATED IN PRC, ANY DIVIDENDS OF PROCEEDS FROM LIQUIDATION IS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE RELEVANT CHINESE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. |
Our assets are predominantly located inside PRC. Under the laws governing Foreign Invested Enterprises in PRC, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to the relevant government agency's approval and supervision as well as the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment and liquidation.
| · | TO DATE, WE HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO TAX LIABILITIES UNDER PRC TAX LAWS. HOWEVER, WE WILL INCUR TAX LIABILITIES GOING FORWARD WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR NET INCOME. |
We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws). Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”).
The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a reduced rate of 15%.
The Company is granted income tax exemption from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2007. Accordingly, for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the provision for income taxes amounted to $0, and $0, respectively. The estimated tax savings due to this tax exemption for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $816,413 and $508,217, respectively.
Since the detailed guidelines of the new tax law were not publicized yet, the Company cannot determine what the new tax rate (15% or 25%) will be applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries after the end of their respective tax holiday terms.
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are also subject to a value added tax, VAT, in accordance with Chinese laws. The VAT standard rate is 6% of the gross sales price for the company’s industry. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished product.
Due to the Company’s VAT tax exempt status, the Company did not pay any VAT tax and the VAT collected from its customers is recorded as other subsidy income until the expiration of exemption in August 2009.
Once our exemptions expire, we will incur income tax and VAT liabilities, which will reduce our net income.
| · | IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO AFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF LEGAL JUDGMENTS UPON OUR COMPANY AND OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS BECAUSE THEY RESIDE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. |
As our operations are presently based in PRC and a majority of our directors and all of our officers reside in PRC, service of process on our company and such directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, our main assets are located in PRC and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
Risks Associated with our Securities
| · | RESTRICTED SECURITIES; LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. |
Our securities should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. Our Common Stock has not been registered under the Act, and cannot be sold without registration under the Act or any exemption from registration. In addition, our Common Stock is not registered under any state securities laws that would permit their transfer. Because of these restrictions and the absence of an active trading market for the securities, a shareholder will likely be unable to liquidate an investment even though other personal financial circumstances would dictate such liquidation.
| | WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL. |
| · | OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE VERY THINLY TRADED, AND THE PRICE MAY NOT REFLECT OUR VALUE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. |
Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price if traded may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Xin Ao Construction Materials, Inc. (“BVI-ACM”) for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, should be read in conjunction with the Selected Consolidated Financial Data, BVI-ACM’s financial statements, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Form 8-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
BVI-ACM, with its subsidiaries, engages in the production of advanced construction materials for large scale commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments. The Company is primarily focused on producing and supplying a wide range of advanced ready-mix concrete materials for highly technical, large scale, and environmentally-friendly construction projects. BVI-ACM owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Beijing Ao Hang Construction Materials Technology, Ltd. (“China-ACMH”), a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On November 28, 2007, China-ACMH entered into a series of contractual agreements with Beijing Xin Ao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Xin Ao”), a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and its two shareholders in which China-ACMH effectively takes over management of the business activities of Xin Ao and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Xin Ao. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including an Exclusive Technical Consulting and Services Agreement and an Operating Agreement, through which China-ACMH has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Xin Ao for an annual fee in the amount of Xin Ao’s yearly net profits after tax. Additionally, Xin Ao’s Shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Xin Ao as security for China-ACMH to collect technical consulting and services fees provided to China-ACMH through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce China-ACMH’s rights to control and operate Xin Ao, Xin Ao’s shareholders have granted China-ACMH the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Xin Ao through an Option Agreement. As all of the companies are under common control, this has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. The Company has consolidated Xin Ao’s operating results, assets and liabilities within its financial statements.
BVI-ACM, China-ACMH operates and controls Xin Ao through the Contractual Arrangements. BVI-ACM used the Contractual Arrangements to acquire control of Xin Ao, instead of using a complete acquisition of Xin Ao’s assets or equity to make Xin Ao a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI-ACM because (i) new PRC laws governing share exchanges with foreign entities, which became effective on September 8, 2006, make the consequences of such acquisitions uncertain and (ii) other than by share exchange transactions, PRC law requires Xin Ao to be acquired for cash and BVI-ACM was not able to raise sufficient funds to pay the full appraised value for Xin Ao’s assets or shares as required under PRC law.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of BVI-ACM and its wholly owned subsidiary, China-ACMH and its variable interest entity Xin Ao. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. BVI-ACM, its subsidiary and Xin Ao, together are referred to as the Company. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”), variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. In connection with the adoption of FIN 46(R), the Company concludes that Xin Ao is a VIE and BVI-ACM is the primary beneficiary. Under FIN 46(R) transition rules, the financial statements of Xin Ao are then consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing at Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:
Foreign currency translation
Our reporting currency is the US Dollar, however, we use local currency Renminbi (“RMB”), as our functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of raw materials related to our products, are stated at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted average cost method. We review our inventory periodically to identify obsolete goods and/or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence.
Accounts receivable, trade and allowance for doubtful accounts
Our business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to customers by selling on various credit terms. We review our accounts receivable at each reporting period to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Our existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
| | Useful Life | |
Transportation equipment | | | 10 years | |
Plant machinery | | | 10 years | |
Office equipment | | | 5 years | |
Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or new additions to the Company’s plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and are placed into service. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
We recognize revenue in accordance with SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by SAB No. 104 (together, “SAB 104”), which specifies that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when four criteria are met:
| · | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (the Company considers its sales contracts to be pervasive evidence of an arrangement); |
| · | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
| · | The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and |
| · | Collectibility of payment is reasonably assured. |
We sell our products mainly to major local construction companies. Sales agreements are signed with each customer. The agreements list all terms and conditions with the exception of delivery and quantity terms, which are evidenced separately in purchase orders. We do not sell products to customers on a consignment basis. There is no right of return after the product has been injected into the location specified by the contract and accepted by the customer. Titles are transferred after the products are shipped and accepted by customer.
We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of our products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price.
Due to the fact that we use recycled raw materials to manufacture our products, the State Administration of Taxation has granted us a VAT Tax Exemption from August 2005 through August 2009. The VAT taxes collected from customers are kept by us and recorded as Other Subsidy Income due to the above mentioned exemption. The loss of the VAT Tax Exemption after August 2009 will increase our tax liability and may decrease our net income.
The purchase price of our products is fixed and customers are not allowed to renegotiate pricing after contracts have been signed.
Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling costs related to costs of the raw material purchased is included in cost of revenues.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment or depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Income taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). The accounting provisions of FIN No.48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this Interpretation had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) that requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since we had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of June 30, 2007.
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted by using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principal, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being assumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on our financial statements.
Deferred taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred taxes are charged or credited to the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Chinese Income Tax
The Company and its subsidiary are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws).
Beijing Xin Ao has been using recycled raw materials in its production since its inception which entitled us to an income tax exemption from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007 as granted by the State Administration of Taxation, PRC. The Company will apply for renewal of the income tax exemption. However in the interim, the Company estimates its income as of January 1, 2008 will be taxed at a rate of 25%.
PRC law requires that before a foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits to its partners, it must satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions made at the discretion of the Board of Directors, after the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund and represent restricted retained earnings.
Value added tax
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax, VAT, in accordance with Chinese laws. The VAT standard rate is 6% of the gross sales price for the company’s industry. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished product. Due to the fact that we use recycled raw material to manufacture our products, the State Administration of Taxation has granted us a VAT Tax Exemption from August 2005 through August 2009. The VAT tax collected from customer is kept by us and recorded as Other Subsidy Income in other income, net in the accompanying financial statements.
Company reporting year end
For US financial statement reporting purposes beginning from 2006, the Company has adopted June 30 as its fiscal year end.

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
REVENUES. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company generated revenues of $13,050,518 and $10,079,945 respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately 29.47%, of which approximately 22.6% is attributable to increased sales, with the rest being due to the exchange rate effect of appreciating RMB against USD. The average price of our products remained relatively stable from 2006 to 2007 while the sales volume increased in 2007, which largely accounted for the increased sales revenue. That’s because we picked up more projects and some existing projects accelerated during the year, with the most prominent ones being the CCTV new broadcasting site, Beijing-Tianjin intercity rail and Beijing south railway station. We believe our sales will continue to grow as we leverage on our existing infrastructure, begin to target accretive acquisition of existing ready-mixed plants, as well as expand into other geographical markets. .
GROSS PROFIT. Cost of Sales, which consists of direct labor, overhead and product costs was $10,550,302 for six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $8,056,463 for six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 31%, which is approximately in line with the increase in sales. Gross profit was $2,500,216 for six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $2,023,482 for six months ended December 31, 2006, representing gross margins of approximately 19.16% and 20.07%, respectively. The 24% increase in gross profits is mostly attributable to increased sales. We believe that this trend will continue because sales will continue to grow while gross margin will remain relatively stable at the current level.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $629,266 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $29,386, compared to $658,652 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. While the sales revenue has increased substantially from the same period last year, we have managed to keep our selling, general and administrative expenses at approximately the same level, which means increased efficiency and lower operating leverage.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. Research and development costs totaled $5,938 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $113,752 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $107,814. The decrease was mainly because we had less new product development projects in 2007.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES). Our other income (expenses) consisted of valued added tax exemption from the government, financial income (expenses) and non-operation income (expenses). We had other income of $786,545 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $606,655 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $179,890. The increase in other income is mainly due to receiving of value added tax exemption from the government, which increased 29% and is in line with the increase in sales as this tax credit is related to gross sales price. We had other expenses of $178,780 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $431,433 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $252,653. The decrease in other expenses is mainly due to lower interest expense in 2007. We further paid down our short-term bank loans in the second half of 2007 which resulted in lower interested expense and financial leverage as compared to the same period last year.
NET INCOME. We had net income of $2,478,715 for six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $1,540,052 for six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 61%. Excluding exchange rate effect, the increase in net income is attributable to increased sales volume as more projects being awarded to us and the acceleration of major existing projects, lower interest expenses as we paid down short-term bank loans, as well as increased government value added tax exemption in line with increased sales. Our net margin also improve from 15% for six months ended December 31, 2006 to 19% for six months ended December 31, 2007 due to lower interest expense and approximately same level of selling, general and administrative expenses on increased sales. Our management believes that both trends will continue as we utilize newly leased plants to increase the customer reach to construction sites located in Beijing, expand into other geographical areas, as well as vertically integrate our operations across the supply chain, which will further lower our costs and provide even greater profitability.

Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
REVENUES. For the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company generated revenues of $21,082,534 and $17,278,777 respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately 22.01%, of which approximately 18.23% is attributable to increased sales, with the rest being due to the exchange rate effect of appreciating RMB against USD. The average price of our products remained relatively stable across the two periods while the sales volume increased for the year ended June 30, 2007, which largely accounted for the increased sales revenue. That’s because we picked up more projects and some existing projects accelerated during the year 2007, with the most prominent ones being the CCTV new broadcasting site, Beijing-Tianjin intercity rail and Beijing south railway station. We believe our sales will continue to grow as we leverage on our existing infrastructure, begin to target accretive acquisition of existing ready-mixed plants, as well as expand into other geographical markets. .
GROSS PROFIT. Cost of Sales, which consists of direct labor, overhead and product costs was $16,393,134 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $13,408,549 for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 22.26%, which is approximately in line with the increase in sales.. Gross profit was $4,689,400 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $3,870,228 for the year ended June 30, 2006, representing gross margins of approximately 22.24% and 22.40%, respectively. The 21.17% increase in gross profits is mostly attributable to increased sales. We believe that this trend will continue because sales will continue to grow while gross margin will remain relatively stable at the current level.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,273,415 for the year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $46,326 or 3.51%, compared to $1,319,741 for the year ended June 30, 2006. While the sales revenue has increased substantially from the same period last year, we have managed to keep our selling, general and administrative expenses down, which means increased efficiency and lower operating leverage.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. Research and development costs totaled $165,404 for the year ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $213,430 for the year ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $48,026. The decrease was mainly because we had less new product development projects in 2007.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES). Our other income (expenses) consisted of valued added tax exemption from the government, financial income (expenses) and non-operation income (expenses). We had other income of $1,311,120 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $1,048,306 for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $262,814. The increase in other income is mainly due to receiving of value added tax exemption from the government, which increased 22.01% and is in line with the increase in sales as this tax credit is related to gross sales price.. We had other expenses of $829,052 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $987,114 for the year ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $158,062. The decrease in other expenses is mainly due to lower interest expenses incurred in 2007, which resulted from the mixed effect of increased short-term loans but lower interest on capitalized lease.
NET INCOME. We had net income of $3,898,053 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $2,611,679 for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 49.25%. Excluding exchange rate effect, the increase in net income is attributable to increased sales volume as more projects being awarded to us and the acceleration of major existing projects during 2007, lower interest expense on capitalized lease, as well as increased government value added tax exemption in line with increased sales. Our net margin also improve from 15.11% for the year ended June 30, 2006 to 18.49% for the year ended June 30, 2007 due to lower interest expense and approximately same level of selling, general and administrative expenses on increased sales. Our management believes that both trends will continue as we utilize newly leased plants to increase the customer reach to construction sites located in Beijing, expand into other geographical areas, as well as vertically integrate our operations across the supply chain, which will further lower our costs and provide even greater profitability.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 we had cash and cash equivalents of $633,185 and $1,494,092, respectively. We have historically met our liquidity requirements from a variety of sources, including internally generated cash and short-term borrowings from financial institutions.

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
Net Cash From Operating Activities. We generated positive cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and negative cash flow for the six months December 31, 2006. Specifically, net cash derived from operating activities totaled $1,508,450 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to ($1,626,334) for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net income and a decrease in account receivables.
Net Cash Derived From/Used For Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $11,385 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and $15,760 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The cash was used for the purchase of equipment, repairs and maintenance of the plant.
Net Cash Provided By/Used in Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ($2,386,752) for the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $2,552,347 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The reason for this decrease was due to the repayment of a short term loan.
Cash. As of December 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $537,587.
Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Cash From Operating Activities. We generated positive cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Specifically, net cash derived from operating activities totaled $2,833,576 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $6,273,744 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The accounts payable decreased significantly due to our suppliers’ demand for payment.
Net Cash Derived From/Used For Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $241,004 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was $105,644.

Cash. As of June 30, 2007, we had cash of $1,424,883, as compared to $403,822 as of June 30, 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in net income and a decrease in account receivables.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. On December 31, 2007, we had approximately $633,185 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 2 % increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.
Foreign Exchange Rates. The majority of the Company’s revenues and expenses were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. Dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We recorded foreign currency translation adjustment of $559,325 and $84,372 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. The value of your investment in our stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, including the net proceeds to us from this offering, any appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could result in a change to our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results, the value of your investment in our company and the dividends we may pay in the future, if any, all of which may have a material adverse effect on the price of our stock.
Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Production Facilities and Equipment
Existing Plant
China-ACM provides materials and services through its seven ready-mixed concrete plants network covering Beijing.
China-ACM has 1 owned plant, 2 leased plants, and technical services & preferred procurement agreements with 4 other independently operated plants. Its owned and leased plants have a total annual operating capacity of 1,584,000 cubic meters.
The leasing term with Beijing Xiangjia Concrete Co., Ltd ("Xiangjia") is three years, from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010. China-ACM shall pay Xiangjia RMB1.1 million (US$150,892) for calendar 2008 and RMB2.45 million (US$336,077) each year for calendar year 2009 and 2010. China-ACM shall pay the total by three payments which are 40% before January 10th, 25% before August 10th and 35% before October 10th.
The leasing terms with Beijing Xinbiao Construction Material Co., Ltd. ("Xinbiao") is eight years, from February 16, 2008 to February 15, 2016. China-ACM should pay Xinbao RMB4.5 million (US$617,284) for the first year and RMB5 Million (US$685,871) for each following year. The payment term for each year is quarterly, before the 15th of each quarter.
In fiscal year 2007 and in the first half of its fiscal year 2008, China-ACM operated only its owned plant with an operating capacity of 768,000 cubic meters, operating capacity 1 million cubic meters. In fiscal year 2007, China-ACM produced approximately 660,000 cubic meters ready mix concrete. In second half of its fiscal year 2008, China-ACM entered leasing agreements with Beijing Xinbiao Concrete Co., Ltd. and Beijing Xiangjia Concrete Co., Ltd. The two newly lease plants increased China-ACM’s operating capacity from 768,000 cubic meters to 1,584,000 cubic meters, which represents an increase of 816,000 cubic meters in total operating capacity.
China-ACM owned plant currently operates from a 44,401 square meter facility that is located in Beijing, with 4,500 square meters allocated for facilities and offices. This facility features sophisticated infrastructure for efficient use of raw materials, computerized monitoring, testing of production runs, and carefully coordinated delivery of raw materials. Since daily production volumes are dependent upon timing and the delivery schedules of contracted projects, annual capacity can fluctuate but is estimated to be roughly 550,000 to 800,000 cubic meters annually actually produced. This facility is capable of operating on a 24/7 basis to meet optimal capacity maximization during peak construction periods. The Company has also received ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO28001 certifications.
Delivery Fleet

As of March 14, 2008, we have not provided any payment on this contract with the R&D Institute.
Related Party Loans
Loan from various employees, with effective annual interest rate of 20%, due various dates between 2007 and 2008, unsecured. | | $352,347 |
Other receivables - related party represents the short term loan that the Company lent to Beijing XinHang Construction Ltd, which is owned by one of the Company’s shareholder. The loan is three months and bears 0.75% interest rate. As of December 31, 2007, total receivables from Beijing Xinhang Construction Ltd amounted to $4,006,476. On March 18, 2008, the Company has received the outstanding balance in full.
Reorganization Related Transactions
BVI-ACM owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Beijing Ao Hang Construction Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (“China-ACMH”), a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On November 28, 2007, China-ACMH entered into a series of contractual agreements with Beijing Xin Ao Concrete Co., Ltd. (“Xin Ao”), a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and its two shareholders in which China-ACMH effectively assumed management of the business activities of Xin Ao and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Xin Ao. The contractual arrangements (collectively, the “Contractual Arrangements”) are comprised of a series of agreements, including an Exclusive Technical Consulting and Services Agreement and an Operating Agreement, through which China-ACMH has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Xin Ao for an annual fee in the amount of Xin Ao’s yearly net profits after tax. Additionally, Xin Ao’s Shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Xin Ao as security for China-ACMH to collect technical consulting and services fees provided to China-ACMH through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce China-ACMH’s rights to control and operate Xin Ao, Xin Ao’s shareholders have granted China-ACMH the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Xin Ao through an Option Agreement. As all of the companies are under common control, this has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. The Company consolidates Xin Ao’s results, assets and liabilities in its financial statements.
Through China-ACMH, BVI-ACM operates and controls Xin Ao through the Contractual Arrangements. The reasons that BVI-ACM used the Contractual Arrangements to acquire control of Xin Ao, instead of using a complete acquisition of Xin Ao’s assets or equity to make Xin Ao a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI-ACM, are that (i) new PRC laws governing share exchanges with foreign entities, which became effective on September 8, 2006, make the consequences of such acquisitions uncertain; and (ii) other than by share exchange transactions, PRC law requires Xin Ao to be acquired for cash and BVI-ACM was not able to raise sufficient funds to pay the full appraised value for Xin Ao’s assets or shares as required under PRC law.
Other than employment and the listed information above, none of the following persons has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which we are a party since our incorporation or in any proposed transaction to which we are proposed to be a party:
| (A) | Any of our directors or officers; |
| (B) | Any proposed nominee for election as our director; |
| (C) | Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our Common Stock; or |
| (D) | Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same house as such person or who is a director or officer of any parent or subsidiary of our company. |
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company is authorized to issue 74,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001. As of April 29, 2008, 12,666,667 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, including shares issued pursuant to the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
(a) Common Stock. Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at times and in amounts as our board of directors may determine. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Cumulative voting is not provided for in our articles of incorporation, which means that the majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. The Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and satisfaction of preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
(b) Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority, within the limitations and restrictions in our amended articles of incorporation, to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including voting rights, of the holders of Common Stock. In some circumstances, this issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Common Stock. We currently have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
(c) Stock Option Plan.
