China ACM Announces Preliminary Q3 FY11 Results and Q3 Reporting Date

   China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADC) ("China ACM"), a leading provider of ready-mix concrete and related technical services in China, today announced preliminary results of its Fiscal Year 2011 third quarter ended March 31, 2011.

China ACM will release complete financial results for the quarter on Friday, May 13, 2011. The Company will host a conference call with a live webcast and a full Q&A session on Friday, May 13 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time/7:00 a.m. Pacific time, to discuss those results. Details are provided below.

China ACM's third quarter results were impacted by slow holiday plant activity in its Concrete Sales Division during the Chinese New Year holidays, higher new plant start-up expenses, and delays in its Manufacturing Services Division. Based on these factors, the Company expects to report third quarter revenue of approximately $23 million and GAAP Net Income Available to Common Shareholders of between $3.3 million and $3.6 million, or $0.18 to $0.20 per share on a fully diluted basis. Included in these results is income from the change in fair value of warrants liability of approximately $1.4 million and a non-cash expense of approximately $300,000 for equity based compensation.

"The March quarter is always our seasonally weakest quarter, however, our 2011 third quarter was weaker than usual for a couple of reasons," said Jeremy Goodwin, China ACM President and Chief Financial Officer. "First, we faced increased margin pressure in our Manufacturing Services Division as we incurred higher ramp-up costs associated with delays in putting several new portable plants into service and higher ramp-down costs associated with delays in decommissioning plants nearing project service completion due to the leadership transition in China's Railway Ministry, which impacted many companies in the High Speed Rail sector during the quarter. Second, we experienced rising fuel and labor costs. We were able to offset some of these margin declines with margin improvements in our concrete sales segment, but not enough to compensate for the shortfall as the month of February generated only a fraction of our normal production levels throughout our entire production network due to the extensive Chinese New Year holiday season during the month of February."
