"We had a solid beginning to our fiscal 2012," began Jianzhong
Zuo, Chairman and CEO of the Company. "While equipment sales were
down, our high margin software sales grew significantly. While the
first quarter is typically our slowest seasonal quarter for
equipment sales, we are confident this business will show solid
growth for the full year. Furthermore, we believe the progress we
saw in software and technical services is just the beginning of a
long term trend as the benefit from our investment in the Beijing
HongTeng software and technical service subsidiary becomes more
apparent."

First Quarter FY 2012 Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net revenue was $16.7
million, an increase of 82.3% from $9.2 million generated in the
same period of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by strong sell through
of software products. We completed 14 projects related to the sales
and installation of equipment in the first quarter of 2012 compared
to eight projects for the same period in fiscal 2011. The
acquisition of Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Anhui
Jucheng") that occurred in July 2010 contributed approximately $7.2
million to the first quarter fiscal 2012 sales, with no
contribution in the year ago period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, LianDi sold
30 sets and 32 sets of data processing software and achieved $3.0
million and $2.8 million of software revenue, respectively. In
addition, we booked approximately $2.3 million of software and
technical consultancy services sales related to a purchased
software use right and the related training and application
program.
During the first three months of fiscal 2012, we also achieved
approximately $0.24 million of stand-alone technical consultancy
services revenue.
Backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $36.5 million on
June 30, 2011.
Gross profit was $5.1 million and gross margin was 30.5% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $4.0 million and 43.4%,
respectively, for the same period in fiscal 2010. Excluding Anhui
Jucheng, gross profit was $4.4 million and gross margin was 45.7%
for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Gross margin, excluding Anhui Jucheng, grew due to a higher
contribution from software sales and technical consultancy
services, which generate significantly higher margins than the
corporate average. Anhui Jucheng achieved gross profit of $0.7
million and gross margin of 10%, for the three months ended June
30, 2011, an improvement from 7% to 8% for the last three quarters
in fiscal 2011. Given the variance in the product mix, margins will
fluctuate on a quarter by quarter basis.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were
approximately $1.5 million, compared to $0.8 million in the same
period in 2010 due primary to the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng
subsequent to last years' first fiscal quarter. Operating margins
were 21.2% and 35.3% for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011,
respectively.
Net income attributable to LianDi common shareholders increased
to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.8
million in the same period a year ago. Earnings per share was $0.07
and $0.06 for the three month ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, based on 36.4 million and 30.1 million weighted
average shares outstanding, respectively.
"Our performance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012
reflects our ability to capitalize on the rapid growth across the
entire petroleum industry value chain in China which we currently
service," continued Chairman Zuo, Chairman. "We have worked
diligently to diversify our business, while increasing sales to
existing major integrated oil customers in China and believe we
have built a platform for sustained future growth. While Jucheng
achieved the highest profitability since we acquired the business,
our goal is to achieve further efficiencies in manufacturing and
distribution which will enable us to make further margin
improvements."
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $64.4
million, compared to $73.2 million on June 30, 2010. A majority of
our cash is held outside of the PRC at banks located in Hong Kong
and Japan. The decrease of our cash and cash equivalents during the
three months ended June 30, 2011 was mainly due to the repayment of
approximately $6.0 million of third party loans. We had
approximately $19.6 million of bank credit facilities available on
June 30, 2011.
Working capital was $72.6 million on June 30, 2011 compared to
$71.1 million on March 31, 2011. Accounts receivable increased to
$17.6 million on June 30, 2011 from $12.3 million on March 31,
2011. LianDi typically carries a higher accounts receivable balance
in the first quarter of its fiscal year as new orders are shipped.
Approximately 57% of its June 30, 2011 accounts receivable balance
is due within 90 days. The current ratio was 3.2 and 2.9 on June
30, 2011 and on March 31, 2011, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had approximately
$3 million of net outflows from operating activities and spent
approximately $1.4 million on capital expenditures. The majority of
the cap expenditure was related to the purchase of oil sludge
cleaning equipment and expansion of Anhui Jucheng's manufacturing
facilities.
Fiscal year 2012 Guidance
Management has reaffirmed its fiscal 2012 guidance provided on
April 11, 2011. We expect to achieve the following:
FY 2012 Year-over-year Change
Revenue $195.4 million +39%
Net Income $35.5 million +47%
We expect Anhui Jucheng to sell approximately 15,000 to 18,000
tons of specialty chemicals in fiscal 2012 and achieve at least $34
million of net revenue. LianDi owns a 51% equity interest in Anhui
Jucheng and consolidates revenues.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of
income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with the
Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP"), we also provided non-GAAP measures of net income
available to common stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings
per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which are
adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash charge
recorded, which related to the fair value of the escrow share
allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated as a deemed
dividend, and a deduction of net income available to common
stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The non-GAAP
financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall
understanding of our current performance in on-going core
operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures
should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented
in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute
for or superior to GAAP results. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP
information in evaluating and operating business internally and
therefore deem it important to provide all of this information to
investors.
The following table presents reconciliation of our non-GAAP
financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months
ended June 30, 2010: (All amounts in US dollar)
