ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We
changed our independent registered public accounting firm effective October 10,
2008 from Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. (“Chadwick”) to Child, Van Wagoner &
Bradshaw, PLLC. Information regarding the change in the independent registered
public accounting firm was disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on October 10, 2008. There were no disagreements
with Chadwick or any reportable events requiring disclosure under
Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM
9A(T). 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.

Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act. Our internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
(i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of May 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment,
we determined that, as of May 31, 2010, our internal control over financial
reporting was ineffective based on those criteria.
During
our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
as of May 31, 2010, management identified the following significant
deficiencies:
-
Accounting
and Finance Personnel’s Lack of US GAAP expertise. Our current accounting
staff is relatively new and inexperienced, and needs substantial training
to meet the higher demands of being a US public company. The accounting
skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of US GAAP
based reporting, including the skills of subsidiary financial statements
consolidations, are inadequate and were inadequately
supervised.
-
Lack
of Internal Audit Function – We lack qualified resources to perform the
internal audit functions properly. In addition, the scope and
effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be
developed.
The
Company’s management determined that the number and nature of these significant
deficiencies, when aggregated, amounted to a material weakness.
45
Remediation
Initiative
During
the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, the Company took the following actions to
remediate the material weakness: (i) hired English speaking U.S. GAAP
knowledgeable Chief Financial Officer, (ii) established an audit committee,
(iii) continued to implement its written control and accountability policies for
administrative personnel, and (iv) hired additional English speaking personnel
in the administrative division. Additionally, during the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2010, the Company’s staff in the accounting department gained more
expertise in internal audit functions. We plan to continue to take measures to
remediate the material weakness as soon as practicable including providing U.S.
GAAP training to our staff in the accounting department.
A
material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that
is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial
reporting.
Auditor
Attestation
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As
described above, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, we implemented
certain remediation measures that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Employment
Agreements
Rong
Yang
On
February 12, 2010, the Company and Mr. Rong Yang entered into an amended and
restated employment agreement (the “CEO Employment Agreement”) for his
service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for a term of five years. The
CEO Employment Agreement is automatically renewable for an additional year
unless either party notifies the other at least 30 days prior to the end of the
term of an intention to terminate. Under the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Yang
will be compensated with an annual salary of RMB 1,500,000, payable monthly in
equal installments in arrears. He will also receive options to purchase 400,000
shares of the Common Stock, exercisable at $3.90 per share.
In the
event that Mr. Yang’s service as the Company’s CEO is terminated, whether
involuntarily or voluntarily, under certain circumstances, or following the
occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined under the Employment Agreement
(the “Separation from Service”), Mr. Yang shall receive: (i) a lump sum payment
of fifteen times of Mr. Yang’s annual salary; (ii) Common Stock equal to 3% of
then outstanding Common Stock; and (iii) continuing health insurance benefits
for two years after the occurrence of Change of Control. Additionally, all
unvested options, restricted stock, performance shares and stock appreciation
rights previously granted to Mr. Yang under the Company’s incentive plan will
immediately be fully vested upon his Separation from Service.
In the
event that the above payments and benefits to Mr. Yang upon his Separation from
Service following a Change of Control (the “Separation Parachute Payments”)
would (i) constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any
similar or successor provision to 280G; and (ii) be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor
provision to Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then such Severance Parachute
Payments shall be reduced to the largest amount which would result in no portion
of the Severance Parachute Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, at the
discretion of Mr. Yang.
Yiru Shi
On
December 17, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Ms.
Yiru Shi as its Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO Employment Agreement”). Such
Employment Agreement provides that Ms. Shi will serve as acting CFO of the
Company for a three-month probation period (the “Probation Period”), at the end
of which the Board will review Ms. Shi’s performance and approve her appointment
as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The term of the Employment Agreement
is two years, including the Probation Period, with a renewal option upon a
15-day written notice in advance (the “Term”). Ms. Shi will be compensated as

terminated prior to the vesting date, any unvested options will be
terminated. If her employment is terminated after the vesting date, any
vested but unexercised options shall terminate on the 91st day following
the date of the termination of her

Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Overview
We intend
to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation
S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and
responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar
locations.
It is not
uncommon for PRC private companies in northeastern China to have base salaries
as the sole form of compensation. The base salary level is established and
reviewed based on the level of responsibilities, the experience and tenure of
the individual and the current and potential contributions of the individual.
The base salary is compared to the list of similar positions within comparable
peer companies and consideration is given to the executive’s relative experience
in his or her position. Base salaries are reviewed periodically and at the
time of promotion or other changes in responsibilities.
In March
2010, our board of directors established a compensation committee comprised of
independent directors. The compensation committee will perform periodically a
strategic review of the compensation program for our executive officers to
determine whether it provides adequate incentives and motivation to our
executive officers and whether it adequately compensates our executive officers
relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for
executives. Those companies may or may not be public companies or
companies located in the PRC or even, in all cases, companies in a similar
business.
2010
Stock Incentive Plan
In
February 2010, we adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). All
officers and key employees, directors of, and consultants to the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates, who are responsible for or contribute to the
management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company and/or
its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible for participation in the 2010
Plan. One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,150,000) shares of
the Company’s common stock have been authorized and reserved for the 2010 Plan,
subject to an increase of up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Common Stock, and any shares that may become available for issuance under awards
under the 2010 Plan as a result of expiration or forfeiture. The Company may
issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards under
the 2010 Plan. The 2010 plan is administered by our Compensation
Committee.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
The
following table provides information concerning beneficial ownership of our
capital stock as of August 27, 2010 by:
·
each
stockholder, or group of affiliated stockholders, who owns more than 5% of
our outstanding capital stock;
·
each
of our named executive officers;
·
each
of our directors; and
54
·
all
of our directors and executive officers as a
group.
The
following table lists the number of shares and percentage of shares beneficially
owned based on 12,930,620 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 27,
2010.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally
includes voting power and/or investment power with respect to the securities
held. Shares of Common Stock subject to options and warrants currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 27, 2010 or issuable upon
conversion of convertible securities which are currently convertible or
convertible within 60 days of August 27, 2010 are deemed outstanding and
beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants or convertible
securities for purposes of computing the number of shares and percentage of
shares beneficially owned by that person, but are not deemed outstanding for

INDEPENDENCE
Transactions
with related persons
The
following includes a summary of transactions for the last fiscal years ended May
31, 2010 and 2009, in which we were a participant, and in which any related
person had a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation
described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained
or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the
transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts
that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm's-length
transactions.
The total
outstanding amount of related party payables was $47,125 and $564,419 as of May
31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These payables are loans from
related parties for business purposes. They bear no interest, are unsecured and
have no fixed payment terms. Currently, the related party payable consists of
the following:

The
purpose of this loan was compliance with the PRC currency regulations. The
loan was extended by our Hong Kong
subsidiary.
Except as
set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or
executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our
directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be
disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
59
Policies
and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related
Persons
As we
increase the size of our board of directors and gain independent directors, we
expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that
sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review,
consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.”
For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” will be a
transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions,
arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are
participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000. Transactions
involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director,
consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this
policy. A related person will be any executive officer, director or a
holder of more than five percent of our common stock, including any of their
immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such
persons.
We
anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person
transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding
the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where
approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent
body of our board of directors) for consideration and approval or ratification.
Management’s presentation will be expected to include a description of,
among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the
related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any
alternative transactions are available.
To
identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on
information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain
significant stockholders. In considering related-person transactions, our
board of directors will take into account the relevant available facts and
circumstances including, but not limited to:
·
the
risks, costs and benefits to us;
·
the
impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a
director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a
director is affiliated;
·
the
terms of the transaction;
·
the
availability of other sources for comparable services or products;
and
·
the
terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or
to or from our employees generally.
We also
expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or
herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the
interested director is involved.
60
Director
Independence
Mr.
Francis Leong, Ms. Shuqian Wang, Mr. Zhenhai Niu and Mr. Pat Spector are
independent directors pursuant to the definition of “independent director” under
the Rules of NASDAQ, Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
China
Infrastructure Construction Corporation
Beijing,
China
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China
Infrastructure Construction Corporation (the Company) as of May 31, 2010
and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for
the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China
Infrastructure Construction Corporation as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended May
31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of
operations
China
Infrastructure Construction Corporation (“China Infrastructure”), formerly
Fidelity Aviation Corporation, 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. Fidelity was formed to purchase large
commercial (transport category) jet airframes, salvage the usable aircraft parts
and components from them and sell the parts and components. The Board of
Directors evaluated the future market for aircraft parts business and resolved
not to pursue this line of business anymore.
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 1,200,000 (12,000,000
pre-reverse 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
indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

CHINA
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
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 the
concrete mixing stations. The Company and CRCG will share 75% and 25%
of the annual profits of such concrete mixing stations in Xi’an. Hongruida
commenced its operations at the end of March 2010.
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.

Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This
basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which
were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant
financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All
necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in
accordance with US GAAP.

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. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have fiscal year ends of May
31 and the results are consolidated up to that date. 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 12)
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 May 31, 2010
and 2009, the amount not disbursed was $146,089 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 $397,042 and $311,928 as of May 31, 2010 and 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 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 property and equipment is reported in cost of
revenues. 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

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 May 31, 2010, the Company
expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was
recorded in the periods reported.

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 are 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.

Shipping Income and
Expense
-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 years ended May 31, 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 of the Company is U.S. Dollars and that of Beijing Concrete 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 May 31, 2010 and 2009, the
Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, and as such, no
valuation allowances were recorded at May 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
Under the
Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to
an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory
financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Currently, the Company
is charged at 0% income tax expense for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and
2009. The exemption of income tax to the Company will last until
December 31, 2010 and from year 2011, the Company will be subject to an income
tax at an effective rate of 25%. The current income tax expense and deferred tax
expense for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 are as

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.

CHINA
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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

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
ASC 280
“Segment reporting” (formerly SFAS 131) 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.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ), which has
become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental
entities.
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.

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.
In
February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –"Subsequent events (Topic 855)"
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update
addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to
perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that
public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued
and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements
include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a
retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendments were effective upon
issuance of the update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt
obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after
June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-17, “Revenue
Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue
Recognition” or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the
recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to
adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration
that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone
consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is
effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and
interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010.
The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Concentration
of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors

Construction Group, and Guangzhou Tianli Construction Group , that represented
25% and 12% of the Company’s total sales for the fiscal year ended May 31,

One major

The
Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, denominated in the U.S.
dollar. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect
the cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position of the
Company.
Contingencies
The
Company has not, historically, carried any property or casualty insurance. No
amounts have been accrued for any liability that could arise from the lack of
insurance. Management feels the chances of such an obligation arising are
remote.
Deposits
in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are
consequently exposed to risk of loss. Management believes the probability of a
bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.
