China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CADC) ("China ACM" or the "Company"), a provider of ready-mix concrete and related technical services in China, on February 13, 2015, reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, i.e., the second quarter of the fiscal year 2015.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Highlights

Revenue increased 49% year over year to $17.6 million
Net loss of $2.9 million or EPS of - $1.48
$27.0 million in working capital at December 31, 2014

Mr. Xianfu Han, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China ACM, commented, "In the past quarter, the government of China hosted the APEC meeting in Beijing. To mitigate the adverse pollutions, the government ordered suspensions of industrial production in Beijing and vicinity area, larger, wider, and longer than expected. Such suspensions had adversely affected certain industries and companies. Our company got affected as well for the quarter. However, for the rest of the year, we will continue our efforts to increase our client base and improve the collection of account receivables. In the ongoing third quarter, we are committed to sweat to stop loss and bring our business back to the normal track. We target to turn around as soon as possible and are cautiously optimistic to break even for the whole fiscal year as we had planned. "

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Results

Revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we incurred total revenue of approximately $17.6 million compared to approximately $11.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $5.8 million or 49%. Such increase is due to our sales generated from the concrete division for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Our concrete sales revenue was approximately $17.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $6.3 million, or 55% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was principally due to the commencement of operation of our manufacturing plant in the suburban area of Beijing in early 2014. In addition, after the suspension caused by the China International Garden Expo and a temporary suspension order imposed by the Beijing government for industrial activities in the area, operations at one of our concrete producing plants recommenced in the first calendar quarter of 2014 and regained capacity, which contributed to the increase in revenue.

Cost of Revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we incurred total cost of revenue of approximately $16.1 million compared to approximately $10.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $5.7 million, or 56%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to the increase in production from our concrete plants in the Beijing area and the increase in material price compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit was approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Our gross profit for sale of concrete was approximately $1.6 million, or 9% of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $1.4 million, or 13% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $0.1 million. The increase in gross profit for concrete sales for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2013, was primarily due to increased production volume, partially offset by the increased material prices.

Provision for doubtful accounts. We incurred provision for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $3.6 million, as compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The allowance for doubtful accounts decreased to approximately $31.1 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to approximately $31.7 million at June 30, 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $0.2 million, or 6%, as compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $0.2 million was a result of the increase in stock-based compensation.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $0.3 million, an increase of approximately $0.1 million, or 41%, as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The Company's research and development expenditure was maintained at a certain percentage of revenue and adjusted by outside consultants on certain projects based on economic outlook, plus discretionary spending on projects that helped to improve our competitive advantage.

Net Loss. We recognized net loss of approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to net loss of approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.8 million. Such decrease in net loss was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.
