EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is being filed to amend our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2010, to correct a typographical error in our financial statements for the quarterly period ended February 28, 2010.
The typographical error was in the retrospective presentation of the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2009 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2010. The presentation did not account for a 1 for 10 reverse stock split that took effect on September 28, 2009. This led to a typographical error in the retrospective presentation of earnings per share for the same periods.
In our previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2009 and November 30, 2009 as filed with the SEC on October 20, 2009 and January 14, 2010, respectively, which were filed after the reverse split took effect, this presentation was made correctly.
In addition, we are filing updated certifications pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
1. Nature of Operations
China Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the “Company”, “China Infrastructure”, “CHNC”, “We”, “Our”) was organized on February 28, 2003 as Fidelity Aircraft Partners LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Fidelity LLC”). On December 16, 2004, Fidelity LLC converted itself into Fidelity Aviation Corporation by filing a Statement of Conversion and Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State. Effective August 24, 2009, the Company changed its name from Fidelity Aviation Corporation to China Infrastructure Construction Corporation.
On October 8, 2008, China Infrastructure entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated under a Share Exchange Agreement with Northern Construction Holdings, Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company (“NCH”) and its shareholder pursuant to which China Infrastructure issued 12,000,000 pre-split shares, or 1,200,000 post-split shares, of China Infrastructure common stock (the “Share Exchange”) in exchange for all issued and outstanding common stock of NCH.
The Share Exchange resulted in (i) a change in control of China Infrastructure with the shareholder of NCH owning approximately 78% of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of China Infrastructure, (ii) NCH becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Infrastructure, and (iii) appointment of certain nominees of the shareholder of NCH as directors and officers of China Infrastructure and resignation of John Schoenauer as director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of China Infrastructure.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing Fortune Capital Management Co., Ltd. (“BFCM”), a 95% owned subsidiary of NCH, became our indirect majority-owned subsidiary. Also as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Beijing Chengzhi Qianmao Concrete Co., Ltd., (“Beijing Concrete”), the operating company, and a 99.5% owned subsidiary of BFCM then, also became our majority-owned subsidiary.
For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction was treated as a capital transaction where the acquiring corporation issued stock for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is similar in form to a reverse acquisition, except that goodwill or other intangibles are not recorded. All references to NCH common stock have been restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of China Infrastructure common shares.
On January 15, 2010, Beijing Concrete increased its registered capital from RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million) to RMB 30 million (approximately $4.4 million) and BFCM increased its investment in Beijing Concrete accordingly. Its share capital increased from RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to RMB 15 million (approximately $2.2 million). As a result, BFCM owns 99.67% of Beijing Concrete from January 15, 2010.

(UNAUDITED)
On February 1, 2010, Beijing Concrete formed a subsidiary, Shaanxi Hongruida Concrete Ltd. (“Hongruida”) and contributed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.47 million) to its capital. Beijing Concrete is the sole shareholder of Hongruida. Hongruida was organized to implement the 10-year strategic cooperative agreement with one of the Company’s major clients, China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd (“CRCG”). Under the Agreement, the Company and CRCG will jointly manage the concrete mixing stations to be operated by Hongruida. CRCG will provide the cement for manufacturing the concrete mix in such concrete mixing stations, and will be able to purchase the concrete mix at discounted prices. Also, in accordance with the Agreement, each party will lease certain equipment to Hongruida. The Company and CRCG will share 75% and 25% of Hongruida’s annual profits.
When we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of NCH on a consolidated basis unless the context suggests otherwise.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine month period ended February 28, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended May 31, 2009.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Economic and Political Risks
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and marketing in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.

Control by Principal Stockholders
The directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties own, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company’s assets.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Infrastructure, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests consist of other stockholders’ ownership interests in majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. Deposits held in financial institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency.
Restricted Cash
In accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (note 11) signed by China Infrastructure Construction Corporation, Trillion Growth China General Partner and Anslow & Jaclin, LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) in October 2009, the Company was required to keep with the Escrow Agent $120,000 immediately on the Closing Date of the Subscription Agreement. This fund can only be disbursed when certain criteria are met. The escrow account also keeps $38,089 of attorney fees as a covenant for future services. As of February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009, the amount not disbursed was $158,089 and $0, respectively, and these are included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Deposits held in the escrow account are not insured by any government entity or agency.

Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s regular assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. These factors continuously change, and can have an impact on collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material. Management reviews and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects the management’s best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Certain accounts receivable amounts are charged off against allowances after a designated period of collection efforts. Subsequent cash recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $732,568 and $311,928 as of February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Inventories consist of the following:
| | February 28, 2010 | | | May 31, 2009 | |
Raw materials | | $ | 1,975,142 | | | $ | 885,834 | |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation related to manufacturing is reported in cost of revenues. Depreciation not related to manufacturing is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Office trailers | 10 years |
Machinery and equipment | 3-8 years |
Furniture and office equipment | 5-8 years |
Motor vehicles | 3-5 years |

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value has become impaired according to the guidelines established in FASB Codification (ASC) 360. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of February 28, 2010, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of concrete pumping service and consulting service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or incentive given to customers. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Our products delivered to customers would be checked on site by customers and, once the products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice. There is no warranty issue after the delivery.
Reward or incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our products; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in our income statement.

The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of the raw materials, freight charges, direct labor, depreciation of plant and machinery, warehousing cost and overhead associated with the manufacturing process and commission expenses.
Selling, General and Administration Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs incurred in connection with performing selling, general and administrative activities such as executives and administrative and sale employee salaries, related employee benefits, office supplies, and professional services (legal and audit).
Shipping and Handling Costs
ASC 605-45-20 “Shipping and Handling costs” establishes standards for the classification of shipping and handling costs. All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses charged to operations were $0 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Advertising costs, if any, are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the income statement.
Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income
The accompanying financial statements are presented in US dollars. The functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into US dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/USD exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s government. We use the Closing Rate Method in currency translation of the financial statements of the Company.
RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at rates used in translation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”) Under the asset and liability method as required by ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109), deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, and as such, no valuation allowances were recorded at February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009.
ASC 740 (formerly FIN 48) clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Under ASC 740, evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

The Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States, Hong Kong, and the PRC jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, and as a result the ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain. However, the Company does not anticipate any events that would lead to changes to these uncertainties.
Restrictions on Transfer of Assets Out of the PRC
Dividend payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by the Company without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. However, no such restrictions exist with respect to loans and advances.
Financial Instruments
ASC 825 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of those instruments. ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), adopted July 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables, including short-term loans, qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
| o | Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| o | Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
| o | Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157).

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment.”) The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options. ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 (formerly SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share.") ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), (ASC 250) “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”), which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. We do not expect it to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.

Upon the Reverse Stock Split, ten (10) shares of the outstanding Common Stock were automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split, however, did not alter the number of shares the Company is authorized to issue, but only reduced the number of shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding. Any fractional share issued as a result of the reverse split was rounded up. Immediately before the Reverse Split there were 15,295,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after giving effect to the Reverse Split, there were 1,529,550 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. All statements are retroactively stated to show the effects of the Reverse Split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

Stock Issuance For Cash
On October 16, 2009, the Company entered into and consummated the sale of securities pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with a number of institutional investors (the “Investors”), providing for the sale to the Investors of an aggregate of approximately 2,564,108 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,000,000 (or $3.90 per Share). Net proceeds of $8,605,626 had been received and recorded as share capital. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase 153,846 shares of Common Stock exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and paid a transaction fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement. Additionally, the Company issued to an advisor in the PRC 288,963 shares of Common Stock and paid a transaction fee equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement for the service provided purely relating to the equity financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue recognition.
The Company receives revenue from sales of concrete products and from provision of concrete pumping service and consulting service. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers or services have been rendered when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales are non-returnable. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales are presented net of any discounts, reward, or incentive given to customers. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Our products delivered to customers would be checked on site by customers and, once the products are accepted by customers, they will sign the acceptance notice. There is no warranty issue after the delivery.
Reward or incentive given to our customers is an adjustment of the selling prices of our products therefore the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in our income statement.
The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. However, the Company enjoys a free VAT policy according to the national policy, which encourages the development of the cement industry if the manufacturer satisfies the environmental protection requirements. The Company has enjoyed the free VAT policy from January 1, 2006 and has been reviewed every year by the local tax bureau.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period ended February 28, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
