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, 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.
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 six month period ended November 30, 2009, 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 voting power of the
registered capital of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive
officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have
the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including
increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution,
merger or sale of the Company’s assets.
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 attorney fees as a covenant for future services. As of November 30, 2009
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 $774,143 and $311,928 as of November 30, 2009 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:

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 November 30, 2009, 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 six months ended November 30,
2009 and 2008, 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.

(UNAUDITED)
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 November 30, 2009 and May 31,
2009, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, and as
such, no valuation allowances were recorded at November 30, 2009 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, HongKong, 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:
·
Level
1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
·
Level
2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instruments.
·
Level
3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to
the fair value.
The
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).

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.

Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with FASB ASC 230 cash flows from the Company's operations is
calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to
assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not
necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance
sheet.
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.
Since
management does not disaggregate Company data, the Company has determined that
only one segment exists.
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. The
management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC
update on the Company’s financial statements.

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

the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Currently,
the Company is charged at 0% income tax rate because of a special tax exemption
approved by the PRC tax department. The income tax expenses for the three

The
estimated tax savings due to the tax exemption for the three and six months
ended November 30, 2008 amounted to approximately $520,000 and $940,000,
respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been
applied would decrease the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three

Concentration of Credit Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company’s practical operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, The
Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by
the general state of the PRC's economy.
The
Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and
Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The
Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
Concentration
of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors
similarly affect groups of counter parties whose aggregate credit exposure is
material in relation to the Company’s total credit exposure.
For the
three months ended November 30, 2009, there are four major customers that each
individually comprised more than 10% of the Company’s total sales. (Mingsheng
