“We are very pleased with our second quarter results,” said Mr. Cai Liang Shou, Chairman of Boyuan
Construction Group, Inc. “Since the start of the 2010 fiscal year, we have been able to capitalize on the
strong demand for our construction and engineering services in each of our markets. This has resulted in
significant year-over-year improvements to our revenue, gross profit margins and adjusted net income,
providing further evidence of the strength of our business model and the high quality of our projects.”
Cost of construction for the second quarter of FY2010 was $30.9 million compared to $20.2 million for Q2
of FY2009. Cost of construction for the first six months of FY 2010 was $60.2 million, up from $38.4
million for the comparable period in FY2009. The increase was primarily as a result of higher expenses
associated with greater project volume and an expanded work force. Cost of sales includes all direct
material, labor, subcontract and other related costs, such as equipment repairs.
Gross profit for the second quarter of FY2010 was $6.7 million, or 17.8% of revenue, compared to $3.2
million, or 13.6% of revenue, for the same period of FY2009. Gross profit for the first six months of
FY2010 was $12.4 million, or 17.1% of revenue, compared to $6.2 million, or 13.9% of revenue, for the
same period of FY2009. The year-over-year improvement in gross profit margins in Q2 by 410 basis
points was due to a higher percentage of revenue contributed from higher margin projects, particularly in
Hainan Island, where the Company experiences strong demand for its services but faces limited
competition, and a lower than average gross margin in Q2 FY2009. Historically, the norm for the
Company's gross margins is 15%.
Net income for the second quarter of FY2010 was $3.5 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, compared
to net income of $2.4 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for Q2 of FY2009.
Net income for the six-month period was $3.3 million, down 25.2% from $4.4 million for the same period
of FY2009. The decline is attributable to a non-cash stock-based compensation charge of $3.2 million
that the Company incurred in the first quarter of FY2010. As previously reported, the charge related to the
fair value transfer of shares under the make good provision of a financing agreement signed in July 2009.
The charge is in full compliance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
As specified by the Company's make-good provision of the July financing agreement, Boyuan forecasted
an after-tax net income of $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. As a condition of the
make-good provision, Boyuan's Chairman put 3.2 million shares in escrow and would have transferred
1.6 million shares to investors if the forecast target had not been met. As reported previously, the
Company generated $9.6 million in adjusted after tax net income for FY 2009. As a result, 1.6 million
shares previously held in escrow were returned to Chairman Shou during the quarter, resulting in a make
good charge of $3.2 million.
Excluding the make-good provision charge, adjusted net income for the six month period ended
December 31, 2009 was $6.5 million, or $0.26 per share diluted, which compares to $4.4 million, or $0.18
per share diluted, for the same period in FY2009. The Company believes that adjusted net income is
more representative of its profitability and performance since the make good charge is a non-cash
accounting charge and not related to its business activities.
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $4.9 million and working capital of
$35.3 million for the period ended December 31, 2009. This compares to a cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash balance of $5.5 million and working capital of $22.4 million at June 30, 2009.
Outlook
“Recent economic indicators in China remain relatively strong, suggesting continued optimism for the
construction industry over the short term,” said Mr. Shou. “Our opportunities for growth, in particular, are
encouraging given that we operate in tier two level cities where the competitive landscape is fragmented
and local economies are less affected by economic trends, such as rising property values, found in major
cities, such as Shanghai or Beijing.”
Boyuan’s consolidated statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and
related management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) will be filed with securities regulatory authorities
within applicable timelines and will be available via SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
