Nature of operations
LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (“LianDi
Clean” or the “Company”), is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries, primarily engages in the distribution
of clean technology for refineries (unheading units for the delayed coking process), the distribution of a wide range of petroleum
and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software for the
polymerization process and providing related technical and engineering services to large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical
companies and other energy companies. The Company is also engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial chemical products, which
is operated through its equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”), that is
engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling organic and inorganic chemical products and high polymer fine
chemical products, as well as providing chemical professional services.
Corporate organization
LianDi Clean was incorporated in the State
of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, the Company changed its name from Slopestyle
Corporation to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada.
On February 26, 2010, Remediation completed
a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which was contemplated by
a share exchange agreement with China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted
in a change-in-control of Remediation.
As a result, the share exchange has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Remediation
to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the share exchange are those of China
LianDi with the results of Remediation being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of
the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded as a result
of this transaction.
On March 17, 2010, Remediation formed
a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada named LianDi Clean Technology Inc. ("Merger Sub") and on the same
day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub's common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Remediation.
Effective as of April 1, 2010, Merger
Sub was merged with and into Remediation. As a result of the merger, the Company’s corporate name was changed to “LianDi
Clean Technology Inc.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result
of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger
and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers,
capital structure or business of the Company.

5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
On July 12, 2012, as approved by the shareholders
of Anhui Jucheng and registered by the local bureau of Suixi County, Huibei City of Anhui Province of the PRC, three new unaffiliated
third party investors invested cash in the aggregate of RMB60 million (approximately US$9.5 million) in exchange for a 8.58%

There is no change in the directors of Anhui Jucheng as a result of this transaction, and the Company still retains significant
influence over Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng continues to be accounted for as an equity method affiliate of the Company.

accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though the Company believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the
Company for the year ended March 31, 2012.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances
between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases
its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill, and the fair value of share-based payments
and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred stock and common stock.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all
cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of
these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.
As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, approximately $1.11 million and $7.65 million of the Company’s cash and cash
equivalents were denominated in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC. The convertibility
of RMB into other currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed
by the PRC government.
Investment in equity method affiliate
Investee companies that are not consolidated,
but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance
with ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence
with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee
companies’ board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of
the investee companies.
Under the equity method of accounting,
the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Equity in
earnings of equity method affiliate” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amount recorded
in income is adjusted to eliminate intercompany gains and losses. The Company’s carrying value (including advance to the
investee) in equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Investment in and advance to equity method affiliate”
in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Dividends received from the unconsolidated subsidiaries reduce the carrying
amount of the investment.
When the Company’s carrying value
in an equity method affiliate is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements unless the Company guarantees obligations of the equity method affiliate or has committed additional funding. When
the equity method affiliate subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals
the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.
In accordance with ASC
Topic 323-10-40-1, “Investee Capital Transactions”, an equity method investor shall account for a share issuance
by an investee as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment. Any gain or loss to the investor, being
the difference between the amount at which an investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assests
resulting from an investee’s share issuance, shall be recognized in earnings.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the following
four criteria are met as prescribed by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”
issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”): (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii)
product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility
is reasonably assured.
Multiple-deliverable
arrangements
The Company derives revenue from fixed-price
sale contracts with customers that may provide for the Company to deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific
to each customer and provide the technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where
the contract price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element
arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
·
|
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery
or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.
|
The Company’s multiple-element contracts
generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for the Company to carry out installation, test runs and performance
tests at the Company’s cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance
period”) stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages
of the contract value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance
specifications cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return,
cancellation or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.
The delivered equipment has no standalone
value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by the Company in accordance with
the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, the Company has
not sold the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and
reliable evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical
services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC
Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes
customer acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly,
revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed off by the customer.

Revenue recognition (continued)
The Company may also provide its customers
with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts require that
5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the customer upon expiration
of the warranty period. For those contracts with retainage clauses, the Company defers the recognition of the amounts retained
as revenue until expiration of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. The Company has not provided
for warranty costs for those contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based on
historical experience.
Product
only
Revenue derived from sales contracts that
require delivery of products only is recognized when the title to the products passes to customers. Titles to the products pass
to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.
Software
sale
The Company recognizes revenue from the
delivery of data processing platform software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC
Topic 985, “Software” and ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Costs of software revenue include amortization
of software copyrights.
Service
The Company recognizes revenue from provision
of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”.

Revenue recognition (continued)
The Company is subject to value added
tax of 17% on the revenues earned for products sold in the PRC.
Before September 1, 2012, the Company
was subject to business tax of 5% on the revenues earned for services provided in the PRC. On July 31, 2012, the Ministry of Finance
and the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC jointly promulgated the “Circular on Launching the Pilot Collection
of Value Added Tax in lieu of Business Tax in Transportation and Certain Areas of Modern Services Industries in Eight Provinces
and Municipalities Including Beijing” (“Circular Cui Shui [2012] No. 71”). In accordance with Article 2 of Circular
Cui Shui [2012] No. 71, Beijing shall complete the tax collection system transfer on September 1, 2012 and in accordance with
Article 3 of Circular Cui Shui [2012] No. 71, “Circular on Carrying out the Pilot Collection of Value Added Tax in Lieu
of Business Tax to be imposed on Transportation Industry and Part of Modern Services Industry in Shanghai” (“Circular
Cui Shui [2011] No. 111”) jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation of the
PRC on November 16, 2011, applies as detailed implementation measures on this tax collection system transfer in Beijing. In accordance
with Article 12 (3) of Circular Cui Shui [2011] No. 111, the value added tax rate for provision of modern services (other than
lease of corporeal movables) is 6%. Therefore, beginning from September 1, 2012, Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, the Company’s
PRC subsidiaries incorporated in Beijing, are subject to value added tax of 6% on the revenues earned from services they provide.
The Company presents its revenue net
of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as net of discounts and returns. There were no product
returns for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Shipping and handling cost
Shipping and handling costs are
charged to expense when incurred. Shipping and handling costs were included in selling expenses in the statements of income
and comprehensive income and amounted to $68,434 and $579,532 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, and $55,245 and $360,029 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Typically, the
Company does not charge customers for these costs.
Research and development expenses
Research and development costs are charged
to expense when incurred.
Advertising and promotion costs
Advertising and promotion costs are charged
to expense when incurred. During the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, advertising and promotion costs were
insignificant.

Earnings per share
The
Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.
FASB ASC Topic 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 dilutive effects of convertible securities (using the as-if converted method), and options and warrants
and their equivalents (using the treasury stock method).

Foreign currency
The Company has evaluated the determination
of its functional currency based on the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides
that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally,
that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts
of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the
Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been
determined that the functional currency of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Historically, the sales and purchase contracts
of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency of Mainland
China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries is Renminbi.
On its own, the Company raises finances
in the U.S. dollar, pays its own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expects to receive a dividend if and when
declared by its subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises with a
registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in U.S. dollars.
Therefore, it has been determined that
the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in accordance
with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
The Company uses the United States dollar
(“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within
the Company maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic
environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than
the U.S. Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.
Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the
reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s
financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries maintain
their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible into
foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the purposes of preparing the
condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China
and are as follows:

The value of RMB against U.S. dollar and
other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.
Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

Fair value measurements
The Company’s financial instruments
primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments to suppliers,
short-term loans to related parties, short term loans, accounts payable, other payables and due to shareholders.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated
fair values of these financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short
maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available
for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at the respective reporting periods.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”,
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on
the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
- Quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
- Observable
inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of
the assets or liabilities.
Level 3
- Unobservable
inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within
the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis are summarized as follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This
ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing
requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine
whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value.
For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value,
these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued
standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September
15, 2012; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Other accounting standards that have been
issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

INVESTMENT
IN AND ADVANCE TO EQUITY METHOD AFFILIATE
|
Since August 30, 2011, the Company
owns a 39.13% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng and has the right to appoint one director out of a total of five directors to
the board of directors. Accordingly, the Company exercises significant influence on Anhui Jucheng and thus Anhui Jucheng is
accounted for as an equity method affiliate since August 30, 2011.
On July 12, 2012, three new
unaffiliated third party investors invested cash in the aggregate of RMB60 million (approximately US$9.5 million) in exchange
for a 8.58% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng. As a result, the Company’s equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreased
from 39.13% to 35.77%. In accordance with ASC 323-10-40-1, the Company recorded a gain of $351,247 (being the difference between the amount at which an investment is carried and the amount of underlying
equity in net assets resulting from
Anhui Jucheng’s share issuance)
, net of tax of $87,812,
on this transaction, in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

CREDIT
FACILITIES
|
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had available
banking facilities from HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank (“General Facilities”), which consisted of overdraft, guarantee,
trade finance and short term money market loan facilities, up to an aggregate amount of HK$92.90 million, EUR$1 million and US$2.15
million (total equivalent to approximately $15.46 million). Collateral for the General Facilities includes the Company’s
bank deposits classified as restricted cash and trading securities as described in Notes 3 and 9, respectively, an unlimited guarantee
from Mr. Jianzhong Zuo (Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), a standby letter of credit of not less
than HK$45 million (or approximately $5.80 million) issued by a bank which is in turn guaranteed by SJI Inc. (the holding company
of SJ Asia Pacific Ltd., a stockholder of the Company), and an undertaking from Hua Shen HK to maintain a tangible net worth of
not less than HK$5 million (or approximately $0.64 million).
Included in the General Facilities
was an import facility up to HK$6 million (equivalent to approximately $773,000) under a Special Loan Guarantee Scheme
sponsored and guaranteed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Government Sponsored
Facility”). Collateral for the Government Sponsored Facility includes a guarantee of HK$6 million from China LianDi. As
of December 31, 2012, there was no borrowing under the Government Sponsored Facility.
The General Facilities expired on July
15, 2012, and the Company is negotiating with the banks to renew the facilities. Management expects that these facilities will
be formally renewed by the end of March 2013.

The Company has evaluated
the terms of the warrants with reference to the guidance provided in ASC 815-40-15. The Company has concluded that these
warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock, because the warrants have no contingent exercise provision and have
fixed strike prices, which are only subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, combinations, dividends, mergers or
other customary corporate events. Therefore, these warrants have been classified as equity.

SHARE-BASED
COMPENSATION
|
|
(a)
|
Options granted to Independent Directors
|
On August 10, 2010, the Company
granted options to three of its then independent directors, Mr. Joel Paritz, Mr. Hongjie Chen and Mr. Xiaojun Li, to purchase
24,000, 5,000 and 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, at a strike price of $5.99 per share, in consideration
for their services to the Company.
As of December 31, 2012, all
options are exercisable. Unexercised options will expire on August 10, 2015.
The compensation
costs associated with these options are recognized, based on the grant-date fair values of these options, over the
requisite service period, or vesting period, and the Company recorded $nil and $14,790 as stock-based compensation expenses
during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $nil compensation expense was recognized during
the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
|
(b)
|
Options granted for consultancy services
|
On December 6, 2010, the Company
granted options to a consultancy service company to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a strike
price of $3.50 per share, in consideration for its consultancy services to the Company for five months.
As of December 31, 2012, these
options are all exercisable. Unexercised options will expire on December 6, 2014.
The Company records and reports
stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which services are received. Stock compensation
for stock granted to non-employees is determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company valued these options utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model at approximately $1.42 per option, and recorded $nil and $80,965 as stock-based professional fees during the nine months
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $nil compensation expense was recognized during the three months ended December
31, 2012 and 2011.

STATUTORY RESERVES
|
The Company’s subsidiaries, Beijing
JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, as PRC companies, are required on an annual basis to make appropriations of retained earnings to
statutory reserves at a certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations
(“PRC GAAP”).
The general reserve fund requires annual
appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end and after setting off against any accumulated
losses from prior years) until such fund has reached 50% of registered capital, whereas the enterprise expansion fund appropriation
is at its discretion. Appropriation to the general reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to stockholders. The
general reserve fund and statutory reserve fund can only be used for specific purposes, such as setting off the accumulated losses,
enterprise expansion or increasing the registered capital. The enterprise expansion fund was mainly used to expand production
and operation; it also may be used for increasing the registered capital. There was no transfer from retained earnings of Beijing
JianXin to statutory reserves during the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 because its statutory reserves
of $1,138,733 at March 31, 2009 already reached 50% of Beijing JianXin’s registered capital of $2,200,000. Therefore, any
further transfer to the statutory reserves is at the Company’s discretion and Beijing JianXin decided not to make any appropriations
to the statutory reserves during the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Beijing Hongteng incurred a net loss
for its PRC fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, therefore, no statutory reserves were provided.
There are no legal requirements in the
PRC to fund these reserves by transfer of cash to restricted accounts, and the Company has not done so.
|
NOTE 21
|
OTHER INCOME –
VALUE ADDED TAX REFUND
|
Beijing JianXin has been recognized by
the PRC government as a software enterprise with its own software copyright. Under the PRC government’s preferential policies
for software enterprises, Beijing JianXin is entitled to a refund of 14% value added tax in respect of its sales of self-developed
software products. The Company recognizes the value added tax refund as revenue only when it has been received and there is no
condition on use of the refund received.
The entities within the Company file separate
tax returns in the respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of
Hong Kong, only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, whereas the residence of
a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries are generally subject to Hong Kong income tax
on their taxable income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the years ending/ended
March 31, 2013 and 2012.
The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, among
other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.
Beijing JianXin, Beijing Hongteng, being
established in the PRC, are generally subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Beijing JianXin has been recognized
by the relevant PRC tax authority as a software enterprise with its own software copyright and is entitled to tax preferential
treatment – a two-year tax holiday through EIT exemption for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and a
50% reduction on its EIT rate for the three succeeding calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Beijing Hongteng is subject to an EIT
rate of 25%. The applicable income tax rate of Anhui Jucheng is 25% for the reporting periods, when its results of operations
were consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.
No provision for other overseas taxes
is made as neither LianDi Clean or China LianDi has any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
|
The new Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding
income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China for distribution
of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the New Tax Law, the distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1,
2008 is exempt from the withholding tax. As the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributing earnings to the
Company for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for the undistributed earnings
of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. Total undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at December
31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were RMB693,714,237 ($110,367,391) and RMB635,873,058 ($101,023,634).

which will expire in years through 2032. A full valuation allowance has been recorded because it is considered more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized as the Company’s U.S. operations will not generate sufficient future
earnings to which the operating losses relate.

Deferred tax liability arose on the
gain on deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, which
was calculated based on the approximate $30.41 million deconsolidation
gain and an income tax rate of 25%, the enacted tax rate that will
be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to
reverse.
|
As of December 31, 2012 and March 31,
2012, the Company did not have any other significant temporary differences and carry forwards that may result in deferred tax
assets or liabilities.
As of December 31, 2012 and March 31,
2012, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future
periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the
next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the nine and
three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of December
31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.
According to the PRC Tax Administration
and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made
by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special circumstances, which
are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute
of limitation in the case of tax evasion.

CERTAIN
RISKS AND CONCENTRATION
|
Credit risk and concentration of
customers
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities,
accounts receivable, and prepayments and other current assets. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, substantially all of
the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and trading securities were held by major financial institutions located in the
PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality.
The Company primarily derived its revenue
from petroleum, petrochemical and energy companies operating in the PRC and had certain risk of concentration of customers as
follows:
·
|
As of December 31, 2012, two customers individually accounted for 52% and 45%
of the accounts receivable of the Company, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, one customer individually accounted for 87%
of the accounts receivable of the Company. Except for the aforementioned, there was no other single customer who accounted
for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2012.
|
·
|
During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, two customers individually accounted
for 54% and 35% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, two customers
individually accounted for 48% and 33% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. Except for the aforementioned,
there was no other single customer who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the nine months
ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
|
·

NOTE 25 SEGMENT
DATA
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280,
“Segment Reporting”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about
allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance. Reportable operating segments include components of an entity
about which separate financial information is available and which operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess each operating
segment’s performance. Before the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng in July 2010, the Company operated in one reportable business
segment - the delivering of petroleum and petrochemical equipment and provision of related technical services using the Company’s
proprietary technology and know-how, as well as selling of data processing software for petrochemical, petroleum and other energy
companies. Upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng, the Company operated in one more reportable business segment – the developing,
manufacturing and selling of organic and inorganic chemicals and high polymer fine chemicals with related technical services,
and recycle and sales of discarded product or used packing.
Upon the deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011 (note 1), there were no longer any income earned or any costs, expenses or expenditures incurred
by the chemical products segment except for equity in earnings of equity method affiliate and gain from stock transaction of equity
method affiliate, net of income tax, reported in the Company’s statements of income and comprehensive income (note 13).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
You should
read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this interim report. Our condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the
financial data included in this interim report reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure
had been in place throughout the relevant periods. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified
by the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” or similar language.
All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume
no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our business and financial performance are subject to substantial
risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating
our business, you should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.
Background
Information
Our company was incorporated in the State
of Texas on June 25, 1999 under the name Slopestyle Corporation. On December 12, 2007, we changed our name from Slopestyle Corporation
to Remediation Services, Inc. (“Remediation”) and re-domiciled from Texas to Nevada. On February 26, 2010, we completed
a reverse acquisition of China LianDi Clean Technology Engineering Ltd. (“China LianDi”), which was contemplated by
a share exchange agreement with China LianDi and China LianDi’s shareholders. The reverse acquisition of China LianDi resulted
in a change-in-control of our company.
As a result, the share
exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby China LianDi is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree)
and we are the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the share exchange are those of China LianDi
with our results being consolidated from the closing date. The equity section and earnings per share of our company have been
retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded as a result of this transaction.
On March 17, 2010,
we formed a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada named LianDi Clean Technology Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and
on the same day, acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. Accordingly, Merger Sub became our wholly-owned
subsidiary.
Effective as of April
1, 2010, Merger Sub was merged with and into our company. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to “LianDi
Clean Technology Inc.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger,
the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased. LianDi Clean was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name
change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in our directors, officers, capital structure or
business.
Our company then became
a holding company and, through our subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in distributing clean technology for refineries (unheading
units for the delayed coking process), distributing a wide range of petroleum and petrochemical valves and equipment, providing
systems integration, developing and marketing optimization software and providing related technical and engineering services to
large domestic Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies and other energy companies.

subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 are set forth below:

We are also engaged
in the manufacturing and selling of industrial chemicals, which is operated through our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng
Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Jucheng”). On July 5, 2010, Beijing JianXin acquired a 51% equity interest of Anhui
Jucheng. Effective on August 30, 2011, our equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreased from 51% to 39.13% following a capital injection
in cash in the aggregate of RMB142 million (approximately US$22.23 million) by six unaffiliated third party investors pursuant
to an investment agreement signed on August 3, 2011. We consolidated the financial statements of Anhui Jucheng from July 5, 2010
through August 30, 2011. Upon the deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, there was no longer any income earned or
any costs, expenses or expenditures incurred by the chemical products segment except for equity in earnings of equity method affiliate
and gain from stock transaction of equity method affiliate, net of income tax, reported in our statements of income and comprehensive
income.
On July 12, 2012,
as approved by the shareholders of Anhui Jucheng and registered by local governmental authority of Suixi County, Huibei City of
Anhui Province of the PRC, three new unaffiliated third party investors invested in the aggregate of RMB60 million (approximately
US$9.5 million) cash in exchange for a 8.58% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng. As a result, our equity interest in Anhui Jucheng
decreased from 39.13% to 35.77%. There was no change in the directors of Anhui Jucheng as a result of this transaction, and we
still retain significant influence over Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng continues to be accounted for as our equity method affiliate.
Through a series of
share transfer transactions between two of our existing stockholders, SJ Asia Pacific Limited ("SJ Asia"), a company
wholly owned by SJI Inc., which is incorporated in Japan and whose shares are listed on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, Inc.,
China LianDi Energy Resources Engineering Technology Ltd. (“LianDi Energy”), and Jianzhong Zuo, a director and the
sole stockholder of LianDi Energy and the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of our company, SJ Asia and SJI, Inc.
became our immediate holding and ultimate holding companies on September 27, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, SJ Asia beneficially
owns an aggregate of 19,881,463 shares of our common stock, which constitutes approximately 54.6% of the issued and outstanding
common shares of our company. Jianzhong Zuo remains the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of our company, with the
backing of SJ Asia.
Basis
of preparation and consolidation and use of estimates
Our interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a
fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have
been included. The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012
was derived from our audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though we believe that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Our condensed interim
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our company and our subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions
and balances between our company and our subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The preparation of
these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for
the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and goodwill, and the fair value of share-based payments
and warrants granted in connection with the private placement of preferred stock and common stock.
Critical
Accounting Policies
|
l
|
Investment
in equity
method
affiliate
|
Investee companies
that are not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting
in accordance to ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not we exercise significant influence
with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee
companies’ board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of
the investee companies.
Under the equity
method of accounting, our share of the earnings or losses of the equity method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Equity
in earnings of equity method affiliate” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amount recorded
in income is adjusted to eliminate intercompany gains and losses. The carrying value (including advance to the investee) in equity
method affiliate is reflected in the caption “Investment in and advance to equity method affiliate” in our consolidated
balance sheets. Dividends received from the unconsolidated subsidiaries reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the carrying
value in an equity method affiliate is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our consolidated financial statements
unless we guarantee obligations of the equity method affiliate or have committed additional funding. When the equity method affiliate
subsequently reports income, we will not record our share of such income until it equals the amount of our share of losses not
previously recognized.
In accordance
with ASC Topic 323-10-40-1, “Investee Capital Transactions”, an equity method investor shall account for a share
issuance by an investee as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment. Any gain or loss to the
investor, being the difference between the amount at which an investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in
net assets resulting from an investee’s share issuance, shall be recognized in earnings.
Revenue is recognized
when the following four criteria are met as prescribed by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 “Revenue
Recognition”: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) product delivery has occurred or the services have
been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Multiple-deliverable arrangements
We derive revenue
from fixed-price sale contracts with customers that may deliver equipment with varied performance specifications specific to each
customer and provide technical services for installation, integration and testing of the equipment. In instances where the contract
price is inclusive of the technical services, the sale contracts include multiple deliverables. A multiple-element arrangement
is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
|
l
|
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s),
delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the company.
|
Our multiple-element
contracts generally include customer-acceptance provisions which provide for us to carry out installation, test runs and performance
tests at our cost until the equipment can meet the performance specifications within a specified period (“acceptance period”)
stated in the contracts. These contracts generally provide the customers with the right to deduct certain percentages of the contract
value as compensation or liquidated damages from the balance payment stipulated in the contracts, if the performance specifications
cannot be met within the acceptance period. There is generally no provision giving the customers a right of return, cancellation
or termination with respect to any uninstalled equipment.
Our delivered equipment
has no standalone value to the customer until it is installed, integrated and tested at the customer’s site by us in accordance
with the performance specifications specific to each customer. In addition, under these multiple-element contracts, we do not
sell the equipment separately from the installation, integration and testing services, and hence there is no objective and reliable
evidence of the fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. As a result, the equipment and the technical services
for installation, integration and testing of the equipment are considered a single unit of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic
605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements. In addition, the arrangement generally includes customer
acceptance criteria that cannot be tested before installation and integration at the customer’s site. Accordingly, revenue
recognition is deferred until customer acceptance, indicated by an acceptance certificate signed by the customer.
We may also provide
our customers with a warranty for one year following the customer’s acceptance of the installed equipment. Some contracts
require that 5% to 15% of the contract price be held as retainage for the warranty and only due for payment by the customer upon
expiration of the warranty period. For those contracts with retainage clauses, we defer the recognition of the amounts retained
as revenue until expiration of the warranty period when collectibility can reasonably be assured. We have not provided for warranty
costs for those contracts without retainage clauses, as the relevant estimated costs were insignificant based on historical experience.
Product only
Revenue derived from
sales contracts that require delivery of products only is recognized when the titles to the products pass to customers. Titles
to the products pass to the customers when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers.
Software sale
We recognize revenue
from the delivery of software when the software is delivered to and accepted by the customer, pursuant to ASC Topic 985 “Software”
and ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Costs of software revenue include amortization of software copyrights.
Service
We recognize revenue
from provision of services when the service has been performed, in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.”
The Company is subject
to value added tax of 17% on the revenues earned for products sold in the PRC.
Before September 1,
2012, we were subject to business tax of 5% on the revenues earned for services provided in the PRC. On July 31, 2012, the Ministry
of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC jointly promulgated the “Circular on Launching the Pilot
Collection of Value Added Tax in lieu of Business Tax in Transportation and Certain Areas of Modern Services Industries in Eight
Provinces and Municipalities Including Beijing” (“Circular Cui Shui [2012] No. 71”). In accordance with Article
2 of Circular Cui Shui [2012] No. 71, Beijing shall complete the tax collection system transfer on September 1, 2012 and in accordance
with Article 3 of Circular Cui Shui [2012] No. 71, “Circular on Carrying out the Pilot Collection of Value Added Tax in
Lieu of Business Tax to be imposed on Transportation Industry and Part of Modern Services Industry in Shanghai” (“Circular
Cui Shui [2011] No. 111”) jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation of the
PRC on November 16, 2011, applies as detailed implementation measures on this tax collection system transfer in Beijing. In accordance
with Article 12 (3) of Circular Cui Shui [2011] No. 111, the value added tax rate for provision of modern services (other than
lease of corporeal movables) is 6%. Therefore, beginning from September 1, 2012, Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, our PRC
subsidiaries incorporated in Beijing, are subject to value added tax of 6% on the revenues earned from services they provide.
The
Company presents its revenue net of business tax and related surcharges and value added tax, as well as net of discounts and
returns. There were no product returns for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
We have evaluated
the determination of our functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters,” which
provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates;
normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
Historically, the
sales and purchase contracts of our Hong Kong subsidiaries have substantially been denominated and settled in the U.S. dollar.
Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries generate and expend their cash predominately in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, it has been
determined that the functional currency of our Hong Kong subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Historically, the
sales and purchase contracts of our PRC subsidiaries have predominantly been denominated and settled in Renminbi (the lawful currency
of Mainland China). Accordingly, it has been determined that the functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries is Renminbi.
On our own, we raise
financing in the U.S. dollar, pay our own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, and expect to receive any dividends
that may be declared by our subsidiaries (including Beijing JianXin and Beijing Hongteng, which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises
with a registered capital denominated in the U.S. dollar) in the U.S. dollar.
Therefore, it has
been determined that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the sales price, expense and financing indicators, in
accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
We use the United
States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. Our subsidiaries
maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment
in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with a functional currency other than the U.S.
Dollar are translated into the U.S. Dollar using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on
the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting
period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements
are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Our PRC subsidiaries
maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the PRC, which may not be freely convertible
into foreign currencies. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into the U.S. Dollar for the purposes of preparing
the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are
as follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the
FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment."
This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment
testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to
determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying
value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying
value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously
issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2012; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Other accounting standards
that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date
are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Non-GAAP
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 gain from stock transaction
of equity method affiliate, net of income tax, net income, net income available to common stockholders and the basic and diluted
earnings per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash
gain, net of income tax, which related to the gain from stock transaction of our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, for the
nine months ended December 31, 2012, and non-GAAP measures of income before income tax, net income, net income available to common
stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, which are adjusted from
results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash gain and the related deferred income tax expense recorded, which related to the
gain on deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.
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 tables presented reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively: (All amounts in US dollar)

We generate our revenue
from delivery of industrial equipment with the related technical engineering services (including, but not limited to, installation,
integration and system testing), sales of software products, providing software related technical services, providing other technical
consultancy services and sales of chemical products. If sales of equipment and the related technical services or sales of software
products and the related technical services are included in one agreement as a total solution package, we have neither objective
nor reliable evidence for us to separate our total revenue amount into separate categories. Therefore, the revenue amount indicated
as technical services in the above table was calculated based on the total revenue amount of stand-alone technical consultancy
service agreements.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012, our total net revenue decreased to US$66.03 million from US$98.59 million for the same period of 2011
(excluding the US$12.03 million of net revenue generated from sales of industrial chemicals which were operated by Anhui Jucheng,
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and is discussed separately below).
For the three months
ended December 31, 2012, our total net revenue decreased to US$42.88 million from US$64.95 million for the same period of 2011.
The decrease in our
total net revenue achieved for these reporting periods as compared to the same reporting periods of 2011was primarily due to the
decrease in our revenue achieved from equipment sales and installation projects for the nine and three months ended December 31,
2012.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$62.75 million of equipment sales and installation revenue, as compared to
US$83.89 million for the same period of 2011. We completed 37 projects related to sales and installation of equipment for the
nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to 84 projects for the same period of 2011. The average contract amount of the
projects completed for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately US$1.70 million and US$1.00 million,
respectively.
For the three
months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$41.82 million of equipment sales and installation revenue, as
compared to US$61.50 million for the same period of 2011. We completed 21 projects related to sales and installation of
equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to 45 projects for the same period of 2011. The average
contract amount of the projects completed for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately US$1.99
million and US$1.37 million, respectively.
We
achieved approximately US$0.04 million of software revenue for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared
to US$11.08 million and US$2.19 million for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The
software revenue in each quarter and each fiscal year may fluctuate significantly depending on the demand of our customers
and their actual purchasing schedule.
For the nine and
three months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$0.04 million from software revenue related to production
process stimulation.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011, we sold 85 sets and 20 sets of our data processing software, respectively, and achieved approximately
US$8.71 million and US$2.11 million of software revenue, respectively. In addition, for the nine and three months ended December
31, 2011, we also achieved approximately US$2.37 million and US$0.08 million from software sales and technical consultancy services,
which was related to a purchased software use right and the related training and application program.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$3.24 million and US$1.02 million of software technical services revenue
and other technical service revenue, respectively.
For the nine and three
months ended December 30, 2011, we achieved approximately US$3.62 million and US$1.26 million of Hazard and Operability Analysis
(“HAZOP”) consultancy services revenue, respectively.
As of December 31,
2012 and 2011, we had 31 and 22 signed but uncompleted contracts, respectively, with total contract amounts of approximately US$113.90
million and US$46.90 million, respectively. We have served the Chinese petroleum and petrochemical industries since 2004 through
our PRC operating subsidiaries. We have established and developed our relationships with international industrial equipment manufacturers,
such as Cameron, DeltaValve and Poyam Valves. We have also analyzed the domestic market and the local customers’ needs.
As a result, we are one of the few domestic companies able to provide localized services for international companies lacking local
offices in China. This process also allowed us to meet the high standards and requirements set by our customers, the major petroleum
and petrochemical companies in China, and become an approved vendor. Along with the rapid growth of the petroleum and petrochemical
industries and the rapid growth of the fixed asset investments within these industries, we successfully increased the scope of
projects performed for our customers since the second half of our fiscal year 2009. Since the beginning of fiscal 2012, due to
increased competition in industrial equipment sales and installation projects, we have experienced a decline in our revenue achieved
in this segment. In order to secure our competitive advantages and market share in this business segment, we have successfully
developed relationships with several new suppliers, such as Sandvik, GE, Finder Pompes S.A.S., Nuovo pignone S.P.A., to distribute
their products to the large Chinese petroleum and petrochemical companies in fiscal 2012 and 2013, which expanded our ability
to bid for a broader range of products and services while meeting more of our customers’ needs. In return, this will enable
us to enhance our completive advantages in this area and continue to secure our market share in future periods.
Our equity method
affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling an industrial chemical product called Polyacrylamide.
Polyacrylamide is primarily used in the following areas: (1) tertiary oil recovery; (2) wastewater, organic wastewater disposal
and sewage treatments; (3) auxiliary for the papermaking industry; and (4) flocculent for river water treatments. As stated above,
Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011.
For the period from
April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng sold approximately 5,156 tons of Polyacrylamide products and achieved approximately
US$12.03 million of net revenue.
Cost of sales:
Cost of sales consists
of the equipment purchase cost recognized in-line with the related contract revenue, the amortization amount of our software copyright,
the purchase cost of software user rights related to the software sales, and the services purchased in relation to providing technical
services to our customers. Other direct installation and testing costs related to the software sales and direct cost of performing
separate technical services were insignificant based on our historical experience as compared to the related revenue amount. Therefore,
in our normal course of business, we do not consider it necessary to separate these direct costs from our total operating expenses.
As stated above, Anhui
Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011. Cost of sales of
Anhui Jucheng represented the manufacturing cost of the chemical product, Polyacrylamide, sold in each reporting period, which
primarily consists of raw material cost (primarily acrylonitrile, acrylic acid and acrylamide solution), salary cost of the manufacturing
department and other manufacturing overhead such as electricity, water, depreciation and other manufacturing supplies.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012, our total cost of sales decreased to US$53.17 million from US$73.10 million for the same period of 2011
(excluding the US$11.16 million of cost of sales incurred by Anhui Jucheng for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, which
is discussed separately below).
For the three months
ended December 31, 2012, our total cost of sales decreased to US$35.90 million from US$52.54 million for the same period of 2011.
The decrease in cost
of sales for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011 was primarily due to the
decrease of cost of sales in our equipment sales and installation segment, which is in-line with the decrease in our equipment
sales and installation revenue achieved for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012.

Without regard to
the gross profit generated by Anhui Jucheng, which is discussed separately below, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012,
our gross profit decreased to US$12.86 million as compared to US$25.49 million for the same period of 2011. For the three months
ended December 31, 2012, our gross profit decreased to US$6.98 million as compared to US$12.41 million for the same period of
2011. The level of our overall gross margin was primarily affected by (1) the relative percentage of our separate software sales
and technical consultancy services volume for each reporting period, which contributes a much higher gross margin as compared
to that of our equipment sales and installation contracts; and (2) the overall average gross margin of our equipment sales and
installation projects completed for each reporting period, which normally constitutes the majority of our total revenue, especially
on an annual basis.
Our overall gross
margins were 19% and 26% for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 16% and 19% for the three months
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in our overall gross margin for the nine and three months ended December
31, 2012 was primarily due to very little software revenue earned in these reporting periods and the decrease of the gross margin
of the technical services segment as compared with the same reporting periods of 2011.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the gross margin of our equipment sales and installation contacts was 19% and 16%, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the gross margin of our equipment sales and installation contacts was 16%
and 15%, respectively. The increase in the equipment sales and installation gross margin for the nine months ended December 31,
2012 as compared to the same period of 2011 was because a significant portion of the equipment sold and installed during the first
half of our fiscal 2013 was newly introduced pump equipment delivered by our HK subsidiaries to our customers, which has a relatively
higher gross margin as compared to the traditional industrial valves equipment sold by us in the same period of last year.
For the nine and
three months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$0.04 million of software revenue with approximately
US$0.03 million related cost of revenue recognized during the same period. For the nine and three months ended December 31,
2011, we sold 85 sets and 20 sets of our data processing software, respectively, and achieved approximately US$8.71 million
and US$2.11 million of software revenue, respectively. The amortization expenses of our data processing software copyright
for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were both approximately US$0.48 million. For the nine and three months
ended December 31, 2011, we also achieved approximately US$2.37 million and US$0.08 million of software and the related
technical consultancy services revenue, which was related to a purchased software use right and the related training and
application program, with approximately US$1.77 million and US$0.10 million of related cost of software recognized for the
nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. Given the foregoing, we achieved a gross margin of approximately
80% and 88% of our software revenue for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to very
little contribution from software sales for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012, which was the primary reason
for the decrease in our overall gross margin for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same
period in 2011.
For the nine
months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$3.25 million of software and other technical services revenue,
with approximately US$2.14 million of direct cost recognized. Therefore, we achieved approximately 34% gross margin for this
segment during this period. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we achieved approximately US$1.02 million of
other technical services revenue, with approximately US$0.78 million of direct cost recognized. Therefore, we
achieved approximately 24% gross margin during this period.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011, we achieved approximately US$3.62 million and US$1.26 million of HAZOP consultancy services revenue,
respectively, with no direct cost recognized for both the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, as the amounts are immaterial.
Therefore, we achieved 100% gross margin for this segment for these reporting periods.
We believe that our
overall gross margin is typically between 20%-30% on a fiscal year basis, based on our existing business models. On a quarterly
basis, our overall gross margin fluctuates primarily because of the different percentages of the software and technical services
revenue and the equipment sales and installation revenue recognized in each quarter (reporting period).

As stated above, Anhui
Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011. For the period from
April 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng achieved a 7% gross margin.
With the
RMB142 million and RMB60 million of cash investment contributed by the unaffiliated third party investors, Anhui Jucheng is
now in the process of expanding its production facilities and building new production lines. Three of the four new production
lines had been completed by the end of July 2012 and the fourth new production line was completed by the end of December
2012. Except for the new production line completed in December 2012, which is still under test runs and during its
commissioning stage, the other three new production lines have been put into use by the end of calendar year 2012. Management
expects that Anhui Jucheng’s total production capacity will be gradually increased to 53,000 metric tons per annum from
its current production capacity of 18,000 metric tons per annum, after all of these new production lines are put into use and
the existing production lines are relocated to the new production facilities.

Selling expenses:
Our selling
expenses were approximately US$1.07 million and US$1.15 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For
the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our selling expenses were approximately US$0.56 million and US$0.64
million, respectively. Our selling expenses primarily include freight, marketing research and development expenses, salary
expenses and traveling expenses of our sales department.
For the
nine months ended December 31, 2012, the change in our selling expenses was primarily due to the following facts: (1)
salary expenses and other staff related benefits decreased by approximately US$0.08 million, which was primarily due to the
decrease in salary expenses of Beijing Hongteng, as a result of a decrease in number of sales staff as compared with the same
period of last year due to decrease in business performance in fiscal 2013; (2) freight expenses decreased by approximately
US$0.33 million, which is primarily due to the decrease in equipment shipped to our customers as compared with the same
period of last year; (3) traveling expenses, entertainment expenses, communication expenses and other general office expenses
of our sales department increased by approximately US$0.14 million, as a result of an increase in marketing development
activities as compared with the same period of last year, which led to the significant increase in the backlog we held as of
December 31, 2012 as compared with last year; and (4) market research and development expenses also increased by
approximately US$0.19 million, due to the same reason as discussed above. The change in our selling expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 2012 was due to similar reasons as discussed for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.
According to our past
experience, we believe that our total selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues recognized may fluctuate on a quarterly
basis, because our average total solution business cycle is normally from six months to twelve months, and a significant portion
of our sales activities (including, but not limited to, attending bidding invitation meetings, providing customers surveys and
analysis, presenting proposals to customers, and finalizing total solution packages with customers) were performed before the
contracts were signed. In consideration of the pre-market activities that may not generate revenue and in accordance with the
principles set by U.S. GAAP, our expenses for the “pre-contract” stage were expensed and recorded in earnings when
they were incurred. Therefore, the amount of “pre-contract” expenses was directly related to marketing activities
and the number of contracts we anticipated during each reporting period. Our “pre-contract” expenses were not related
to corresponding contract revenue being recognized.
General and administrative
expenses:
Our general and administrative
expenses were US$1.50 million and US$1.86 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the
three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our general and administrative expenses were US$0.43 million and US$0.82 million,
respectively. Our general and administrative expenses primarily include: (1) salary and benefits for management and administrative
departments (finance, importation, human resources and administration); (2) office rental and other administrative supplies; (3)
management’s traveling expenses; (4) general communication and entertainment expenses; and (5) professional service charges
(including, but not limited to, legal, audit, financial consultancy and investor relations).
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012, the change in our general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following facts: (1)
salary expenses and related staff welfare increased by approximately US$0.01 million; (2) rental expenses increased by approximately
US$0.04 million; (3) general office administration expenses increased by approximately US$0.02 million; (4) bank handling charges
related to contract settlement transactions decreased by approximately US$0.20 million, due to the decrease of the bank settlement
transactions incurred for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the same period of 2011; (5) professional service
charges decreased by approximately US$0.03 million; and (6) share-based payment decreased by approximately US$0.20 million, due
to a decrease of related outsourcing of professional services from third parties as compared with the same period of last year.
For the three
months ended December 31, 2012, the decrease in our general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following
facts: (1) the decrease in general office administration expenses of approximately US$0.03 million; (2) the decrease in bank
handling charges related to contract settlement transactions of approximately US$0.23 million, due to the decrease of the
bank settlement transactions incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the same period of 2011;
and (3) the decrease in professional service charges and share-based payment expenses of approximately US$0.13 million, due
to a decrease of related outsourcing of professional services from third parties as compared with the same period of last
year..
Research and development
expenses:
Research and development expenses represent
salary expenses and other related expenses of our research and development department. Our research and development expenses were
approximately US$0.27 million and US$0.29 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our research
and development expenses were approximately US$0.10 million and US$0.11 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively.

by the PRC government. We recognize the value added tax refund as other income only when it has been received. There is no condition
to the use of the refund received. We received approximately US$0.35 million and US$0.21 million of value added tax refund for
the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. We received no value added tax refund for both the nine
and three months ended December 31, 2011.
Gain on deconsolidation
of a subsidiary:
The deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng occurred on August 30, 2011 was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”. For
the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a non-cash gain of approximately US$30.41 million upon deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income with a corresponding increase to the carrying
value of our investment in Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated balance sheet. This deconsolidation gain represents the excess of
the fair value of our retained equity interest in Anhui Jucheng, which is 39.13% over its carrying value as of the date of deconsolidation.
Other:
For the periods from April 1, 2011 through
August 30, 2011, Anhui Jucheng achieved approximately US$0.12 million of other income from selling scrap raw materials and other
supplies. Other income incurred in other reporting periods were immaterial.

from our equipment sales and installation and provision of technical services. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our
income before income tax was US$50.86 million. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain recognized upon deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our income before income tax was US$20.45 million, of which approximately
US$20.59 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and our sales

and installation and provision of technical services. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our income before income tax

Income tax expenses
The entities within
our company file separate tax returns in their respective tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
Under the Inland Revenue
Ordinance of Hong Kong, profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, and the residence
of a taxpayer is not relevant. Therefore, our Hong Kong subsidiaries are generally subject to Hong Kong profits tax on their taxable
income derived from the trade or businesses carried out by them in Hong Kong at 16.5% for the years ending/ended March 31, 2013
and 2012.
Beijing JianXin, established
in the PRC, is generally subject to PRC income tax. Beijing JianXin has been recognized by the relevant PRC tax authority as a
software enterprise and is entitled to tax preferential treatment — a two year tax holiday through EIT exemption
(from its first profitable year) for the calendar years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for
the three succeeding calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Beijing Hongteng is
subject to an EIT rate of 25%. The applicable income tax rate of Anhui Jucheng is 25% for the reporting periods, when its results
of operations were consolidated with ours.
No provision for other
overseas taxes is made as neither we nor China LianDi have any taxable income in the U.S. or the British Virgin Islands.
The new income tax
law in China imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate
holding company outside of China for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 2008. Under the new income tax law, the
distribution of earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 is exempt from withholding tax. As our subsidiaries in the PRC will
not be distributing earnings to us for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no deferred tax liability has been recognized
for the undistributed earnings of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. Total undistributed earnings
of these PRC subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were RMB693,714,237 ($110,367,391) and RMB635,873,058 ($101,023,634),
respectively.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, current income tax expense was approximately US$1.57 million and US$2.69 million, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, current income tax expense was approximately US$0.89 million and US$1.31
million, respectively. The decrease in current income tax expenses was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax income achieved by
us for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same reporting periods of last year.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2012, we recognized an approximate US$0.09 million deferred income tax expense for the gain from stock transaction
of our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, on July 12, 2012, which was calculated based on the approximate US$0.35 million
gain on deemed disposal and an income tax rate of 25%, the enacted tax rate that will be in effect in the period in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
For the nine months
ended December 31, 2011, we also recognized an approximate US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense for the deconsolidation
gain recognized upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng on August 30, 2011, which was calculated based on the approximate US$30.41
million deconsolidation gain and an income tax rate of 25%, the enacted tax rate that will be in effect in the period in which
the differences are expected to reverse. Besides the above mentioned US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense, for the nine
months ended December 31, 2011, the total net deferred income tax expense also included approximately US$0.03 million deferred
income tax benefit which related to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities that arose on the revaluation of Anhui Jucheng’s
properties, plant and equipment and land use right upon the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng on July 5, 2010, due to the depreciation
and amortization of these revalued properties, plant and equipment and the land use right during these reporting periods.
Gain from stock transaction and equity in earnings of
equity method affiliate
Upon the deconsolidation
of Anhui Jucheng, which occurred on August 30, 2011, we ceased having a controlling financial interest in Anhui Jucheng and Anhui
Jucheng became an equity method affiliate company of ours. On July 12, 2012, three new unaffiliated investors, invested in the
aggregate of RMB60 million (approximately US$9.5 million) cash in exchange for an 8.58% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng. As a
result, our equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreased from 39.13% to 35.77%. There was no change in the directors of Anhui Jucheng
as a result of this transaction, and we still retain significant influence over Anhui Jucheng. Anhui Jucheng continues to be accounted
for as our equity method of affiliate. In accordance with ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” for the
nine and three months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized our pro-rata share of net income incurred by Anhui Jucheng, which
was approximately US$0.62 million and US$0.26 million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive
income, with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of our long-term investment in Anhui Jucheng in our consolidated balance
sheet. In addition, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, in accordance with ASC Topic 323-10-40-1, we also recognized
an approximately, US$0.35 million non-cash gain, net of approximately US$0.09 million of the related deferred income tax
expense, from stock transaction of our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, as a result of the above discussed transaction
that occurred on July 12, 2012, which resulted in our equity interest in Anhui Jucheng decreasing to 35.77% from 39.13%. The net
gain of approximately US$0.26 million is recorded in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the nine
months ended December 31, 2012, with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of our long-term investment in Anhui Jucheng
in our consolidated balance sheet.
For the nine and
three months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized our pro-rata share of net income incurred by Anhui Jucheng, which was
approximately US$0.60 million and US$0.69 million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statement of income and
comprehensive income, with a corresponding decrease in the carrying
value of our long-term investment in Anhui Jucheng in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Net income
As a result of the
foregoing, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, our net income was US$8.13 million. Without regard to US$0.26 million
net gain from stock transaction of our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we
achieved net income of US$7.87 million, of which approximately US$6.99 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation,
software sales and technical services, and US$0.88 million was generated from our sales of chemical products. For the three months
ended December 31, 2012, our net income was US$4.54 million, of which approximately US$4.28 million was generated from our equipment
sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and US$0.26 million was generated from our sales of chemical products.
For the nine
months ended December 31, 2011, our net income was US$41.20 million. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and
the related US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense recognized upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months
ended December 31, 2011, our net income was US$18.39 million, of which approximately US$17.86 million was generated from our
equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and approximately US$0.53 million from our sales of
chemical products. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our net income was US$9.80 million, of which approximately
US$9.11 million was generated from our equipment sales and installation, software sales and technical services, and
approximately US$0.69 million was generated from our sales of chemical products.
Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests
As stated above, Anhui
Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours from July 5, 2010 through August 30, 2011. During the period
that Anhui Jucheng’s results of operations were consolidated with ours, net loss or income generated from Anhui Jucheng
was allocated to the noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng based on his percentage ownership in the entity, which was 49%,
during that period. Therefore, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, approximately US$0.08 million of Anhui Jucheng’s
net losses incurred was attributable to the 49% noncontrolling shareholder of Anhui Jucheng.
Net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders
Net income minus income
attributable to noncontrolling interests is net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2012 net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was US$8.13 million and US$4.54 million, respectively.
Without regard to US$0.26 million net gain from stock transaction of our equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, for the nine
months ended December 31, 2012, our adjusted net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was approximately US$7.87 million.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011 net income available to LianDi Clean stockholders was US$41.28 million and US$9.80 million, respectively.
Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and the related US$7.60 million deferred income tax expense recognized upon
deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our adjusted net income available to LianDi Clean
stockholders was approximately US$18.47 million.
Preferred stock dividend
In accordance with
the securities purchase agreement we entered into with our investors on February 26, 2010, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 8%. The amount of the preferred stock dividend we accrued was
calculated by the liquidation preference amount of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was US$3.50 per share, and the actual number
of days each share was outstanding within the reporting period. For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2011, the total
preferred stock dividend accrued was approximately US$1.06 million and US$0.35 million. On February 26, 2012, all outstanding
shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into the same number of shares of our common stock. Therefore,
no further preferred stock dividend was accrued afterwards.
Net income available to common stockholders of LianDi
Clean
Net income available
to LianDi Clean stockholders minus the preferred stock dividend is net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean.
For the nine and
three months ended December 31, 2012, net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$8.13
million and US$4.54 million, respectively. Without regard to US$0.26 million net gain from stock transaction of our
equity method affiliate, Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, our adjusted net income available to
common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$7.87 million.
For the nine and three
months ended December 31, 2011, net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$40.22 million
and US$9.46 million, respectively. Without regard to the US$30.41 million non-cash gain and the related US$7.60 million deferred
income tax expense recognized upon deconsolidation of Anhui Jucheng, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our adjusted
net income available to common stockholders of LianDi Clean was approximately US$17.41 million.
B. Liquidity
and capital resources
Cash and cash equivalents
consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash
is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$34.4
million.
Our liquidity needs
include net cash used in operating activities, which primarily consists of: (a) cash required for importing the equipment to be
distributed to our customers and cash required for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, to purchase raw materials for
the manufacturing of industrial chemicals, before Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated; (b) related freight and other distribution
expenses for our shipments of equipment to customers and manufacturing expenses for the production of industrial chemicals, before
Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated; and (c) our general working capital needs, which include payment for staff salary and benefits,
payment for office rent and other administrative supplies. Our net cash used in investing activities primarily consists of the
investments in computers and other office equipment, investment in purchasing oil sludge cleaning equipment and upgrading and
expanding our existing manufacturing facilities for our majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, before Anhui Jucheng was deconsolidated.
For the nine and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we primarily financed our liquidity needs through our existing

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
During and subsequent
to the reporting period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. 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 Act
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.
Based on this evaluation
and as a result of the material weaknesses discussed below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect on December 31, 2012 were not effective:
|
(1)
|
We do not have sufficient and
skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical
accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate
with our financial reporting requirements; and
|
|
(2)
|
Currently, we do not have an
“audit committee financial expert” as defined by
the rules and regulations of the SEC serving as a member of
our Audit Committee.
|
Remediation
Initiatives:
|
(1)
|
We are committed to establish
and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting,
but due to limited qualified resources in the region where
we operate, we were not able to hire sufficient skilled accounting
personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP technical
accounting knowledge and experience and SEC financial reporting
knowledge commensurate with our financial reporting requirements
before the end of fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. However,
we have enhanced the training of our finance team and other
relevant personnel on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidance and
SEC reporting requirements applicable to our financial statements.
|
|
(2)
|
We intend to seek an appropriate
independent expert who is qualified as an “audit committee
financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations
of the SEC to serve as the Chairman of our Audit Committee
as soon as practicable.
|
We intend to remediate
the material weaknesses discussed above before March 31, 2013, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so.
Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate
and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain
a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and
intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure
controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon
as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Except
for the matters described above to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, there was no change in our internal
controls over financial reporting that occurred during the third fiscal quarter of 2013 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
