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

First Quarter FY 2012 Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net revenue was $16.7 million, an increase of 82.3% from $9.2 million generated in the same period of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by strong sell through of software products. We completed 14 projects related to the sales and installation of equipment in the first quarter of 2012 compared to eight projects for the same period in fiscal 2011. The acquisition of Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Anhui Jucheng") that occurred in July 2010 contributed approximately $7.2 million to the first quarter fiscal 2012 sales, with no contribution in the year ago period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, LianDi sold 30 sets and 32 sets of data processing software and achieved $3.0 million and $2.8 million of software revenue, respectively. In addition, we booked approximately $2.3 million of software and technical consultancy services sales related to a purchased software use right and the related training and application program.

During the first three months of fiscal 2012, we also achieved approximately $0.24 million of stand-alone technical consultancy services revenue.

Backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $36.5 million on June 30, 2011.

Gross profit was $5.1 million and gross margin was 30.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $4.0 million and 43.4%, respectively, for the same period in fiscal 2010. Excluding Anhui Jucheng, gross profit was $4.4 million and gross margin was 45.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Gross margin, excluding Anhui Jucheng, grew due to a higher contribution from software sales and technical consultancy services, which generate significantly higher margins than the corporate average. Anhui Jucheng achieved gross profit of $0.7 million and gross margin of 10%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an improvement from 7% to 8% for the last three quarters in fiscal 2011. Given the variance in the product mix, margins will fluctuate on a quarter by quarter basis.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $1.5 million, compared to $0.8 million in the same period in 2010 due primary to the acquisition of Anhui Jucheng subsequent to last years' first fiscal quarter. Operating margins were 21.2% and 35.3% for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Net income attributable to LianDi common shareholders increased to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.8 million in the same period a year ago. Earnings per share was $0.07 and $0.06 for the three month ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, based on 36.4 million and 30.1 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

"Our performance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 reflects our ability to capitalize on the rapid growth across the entire petroleum industry value chain in China which we currently service," continued Chairman Zuo, Chairman. "We have worked diligently to diversify our business, while increasing sales to existing major integrated oil customers in China and believe we have built a platform for sustained future growth. While Jucheng achieved the highest profitability since we acquired the business, our goal is to achieve further efficiencies in manufacturing and distribution which will enable us to make further margin improvements."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $64.4 million, compared to $73.2 million on June 30, 2010. A majority of our cash is held outside of the PRC at banks located in Hong Kong and Japan. The decrease of our cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was mainly due to the repayment of approximately $6.0 million of third party loans. We had approximately $19.6 million of bank credit facilities available on June 30, 2011.

Working capital was $72.6 million on June 30, 2011 compared to $71.1 million on March 31, 2011. Accounts receivable increased to $17.6 million on June 30, 2011 from $12.3 million on March 31, 2011. LianDi typically carries a higher accounts receivable balance in the first quarter of its fiscal year as new orders are shipped. Approximately 57% of its June 30, 2011 accounts receivable balance is due within 90 days. The current ratio was 3.2 and 2.9 on June 30, 2011 and on March 31, 2011, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had approximately $3 million of net outflows from operating activities and spent approximately $1.4 million on capital expenditures. The majority of the cap expenditure was related to the purchase of oil sludge cleaning equipment and expansion of Anhui Jucheng's manufacturing facilities.

Fiscal year 2012 Guidance

Management has reaffirmed its fiscal 2012 guidance provided on April 11, 2011. We expect to achieve the following:

                          FY 2012                  Year-over-year Change

Revenue                   $195.4 million           +39%
Net Income                $35.5 million            +47%

We expect Anhui Jucheng to sell approximately 15,000 to 18,000 tons of specialty chemicals in fiscal 2012 and achieve at least $34 million of net revenue. LianDi owns a 51% equity interest in Anhui Jucheng and consolidates revenues.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

The following table presents reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2010: (All amounts in US dollar)
