Fourth quarter FY 2011 Results
Net revenue was $40.3 million, an increase of 25% from $32.1 million generated in the same period of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by strong demand for software products. The acquisition of Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Anhui Jucheng") that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 contributed approximately $7.2 million to fourth quarter fiscal 2011 sales.
Gross profit was $8.0 million and gross margins were 19.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.0 million and 15.5%, respectively, for the same period in fiscal 2010. Gross margin grew due to a higher contribution from software sales, which generate significantly higher margins than the corporate average. Given the variance in the product mix, margins will fluctuate on a quarter by quarter basis.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were approximately $1.6 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2010 due to increases in professional services charges related to our U.S. reporting requirements as a public company and share-based compensation expenses. As a component of operating expenses, selling expenses were $0.3 million compared to $0.9 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 due to decreases of freight costs resulted from different shipping schedule arrangements in fiscal 2011 and 2010. General and administrative expenses were $1.2 million for the quarter, including $0.23 million of non-cash stock options expenses.
GAAP net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $4.4 million. Adjusted net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, excluding a $1 million deemed preferred stock dividend, was approximately $5.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 36.4 million, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30.8 million in the same period last year.
"I am pleased with the progress we achieved in 2011,¡± stated Mr. Jianzhong Zuo, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of LianDi. ¡°Our core equipment, software and technical services business generated solid growth due to robust demand from petroleum and petrochemicals companies in China. We continue to expand our relationships with Sinopec and CNPC to capture a greater share of their budgets. As we sign more agreements with leading suppliers such as ABB, we expect to grow faster than the market."
Mr. Zuo continued, "We are equally excited about entering two new complementary growth markets ¨C specialty chemicals and oil sludge cleaning. We expect both investments to enhance our revenue and earnings growth for many years to come."

(2) Adjusted net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common stockholders and EPS for fiscal 2011 excludes a $4.0 million deemed dividend related to the escrow share arrangement for preferred stock issued in the February 26, 2010 private placement.  
LianDi increased net revenues by 81% to $140.8 million in fiscal 2011. Equipment sales were $103.4 million, a 45% increase from the $71.2 million in fiscal 2010. The Company delivered 75 equipment orders in 2011 compared to 56 in 2010. Software sales rose 128% year-over-year to $14.7 million due primarily to a large order from PetroChina. Sales from Anhui Jucheng contributed $22.6 million to total net revenue in fiscal 2011. Excluding Anhui Jucheng revenues, revenues grew 52%.
For fiscal 2011, cost of sales increased 88% to $111.1 million while gross profit rose 60% to $29.8 million. Gross margin was 21.1% compared to 23.9% in the prior year due to lower software margins and the inclusion of Anhui Jucheng, which had a 7.5% gross margin in fiscal 2011. Excluding Anhui Jucheng, gross margin was 23.8% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2011.
Operating expenses were $6.3 million and $3.1 million for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. Research and development expenses increased 183% to $0.3 million. Operating income was up 51% to $23.5 million, while operating margins were 16.7% compared to 20% in the same period one year ago.
Net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common shareholders was $18.3 million compared to $14.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common stockholders, excluding the $4.0 million deemed preferred stock dividend, was $22.3 million, 48% higher than that from the comparable period a year ago. ??Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.66, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 36.7 million, compared to $0.54 per diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 28.2 million in the same period last year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $73.2 million, compared to $59.2 million at March 31, 2010.  A majority of the Company¡¯s cash is held outside of the PRC at banks located in Hong Kong and Japan. The current ratio was 2.9 and working capital was $71.1 million on March 31, 2011. Inventories increased from $30,000 at the end of fiscal 2010 to $5.9 million at the end of fiscal 2011 due to the addition of Anhui Jucheng. The Company had total stockholders' equity of $76.8 million at March 31, 2011, including $5.9 million of non-controlling interest, which represents the 49% interest of Anhui Jucheng. 
The Company generated $12.9 million of cash flows from operations during the twelve months ended March 31, 2011. Net income of $24.4 million was offset by a $7.2 million increase in accounts and receivable and a $4.9 million prepayment for equipment. Approximately $5.6 million of the $12.3 million accounts receivable balance at the end of fiscal 2011 has been collected subsequent to March 31, 2011. ?
Fiscal year 2012 Guidance
Management has reaffirmed its fiscal 2012 guidance provided on April 11, 2011. The Company expects to achieve the following:
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡FY 2012¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Year-over-year Change
Revenue¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡$195.4 million¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡+39%
Net Income¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡$35.5 million¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡+47%
Business Outlook
As a trusted provider to large state-owned petroleum and petrochemical companies for the past decade, LianDi continues to expand its products and services. In fiscal 2011, the Company renewed contracts with leading international equipment suppliers such as Cameron and signed new distribution contracts with two new vendors. The Company delivered software packages to PetroChina covering approximately 200 end users located in Beijing and six other provinces in China.
The Company had 17 contracts with an aggregate value of $11 million in backlog at March 31, 2011. It has signed 8 additional new orders for approximately $12.1 million from March 31 to June 13.
The newly acquired majority owned subsidiary, Anhui Jucheng, sold approximately 10,855 tons of polyacrylamide, a specialty chemical used in oil recovery, wastewater and sewage treatment, and papermaking. Management expects to expand capacity to take advantage of the strong demand. Gross margins are expected to improve as the Company implements additional pricing increases and increases capacity utilization.
In September 2010, LianDi signed a two-year agreement with System Kikou Co., Ltd. ("SKK") in Japan, one of the world's leading automated oil sludge treatment companies, to become SKK¡¯s exclusive provider of automated sludge treatment services to oil refiners in China. The PRC government recently mandated automated cleaning technologies to be used in all oil refiners in China starting on July 1, 2010 in order to improve the safety of refining operations. Management estimates the addressable market of approximately $120 million, growing at about 7% per annum. Currently, less than 20% of Chinese oil refineries use automated cleaning technologies compared to 80%-90% in developed countries.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has ordered three sets of cleaning equipment. Management has completed the training programs for operating the oil sludge cleaning equipment. Furthermore, it expects to generate approximately $3.5 million of revenue and $1.5 million of net income in fiscal 2012 from this business.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also provided non-GAAP measures of net income available to Liandi Clean¡¯s common stockholders and the basic and diluted earnings per shares for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and for the year ended March 31, 2011, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash charges recorded, which related to the escrow share arrangement allocated to the Series A preferred stock, treated as a deemed dividend, a deduction of net income available to common stockholders in conjunction with the private placement we consummated on February 26, 2010.  The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of our current performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.  We use both GAAP and non-GAAP information in internally evaluating and operating our business and therefore deem it important to provide all of this information to investors.
The following tables presented reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and years ended March 31, 2011, respectively:
