University Relationships & Cooperation Agreements

The Company has strong relationships with Tsinghua University and the Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology. China ACM has signed a cooperation agreement with Tsinghua University for a) the use of and sharing of highly technological equipment, newly developed testing and inspection processes; and b) the development of new techniques and discoveries related to advanced building materials. The Company has also co-developed a new construction material development center with Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology and has signed a technology sharing agreement in place.

Beijing Dong Fang Jian Yu Institute of Concrete Science & Technology - Strategic R&D Partnership

The Institute has 40 employees, with 5 senior research fellows and 15 are middle level researchers, and the vast majority all has university degrees. The Institute and its staff have participated and collaborated with national and local Beijing government agencies to establish the following industry standards:

• Specification For Mix Proportion Design of Ordinary Concrete JGJ55-2000
• Code for Acceptance of Constructional Quality Of Concrete Structures GB 50204-2002
• Applied Technical Specification of Mineral Admixtures In Concrete DBJ/T01-64-2002
• Ready-Mixed Concrete GB/T 14902-2003
• Practice Code for Application of Ready-Mixed Mortar DBJ 01-99-2005
• Management Specification of Quality for Ready-Mixed Concrete
• Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products Ready-Mixed Concrete HJ/T412-2007
• Technical Code for Application of Mineral Admixture GBJXX-XX (in the approval process)
• Standard For Inspection And Assessment of Strength Of Concrete GBJ107-XX (in discussion)

China ACM is able to use the Research Findings & Technical Publication and Procedures, of the Institute in its business which helps give it superior technological advantages over many of its competitors. Some of these research findings and awards include:

• Research on Compound Admixture HPC; 3rd Class Award for China Building Materials Science & Technology Progress.
• Research and Application of C100 HPC; 3rd Class Award for Beijing Science & Technology Progress.
• Research on pumping Light Aggregate Concrete; Innovation Award for China Building Materials Science & Technology.
• Research and Application of Green (nontoxic) HPC; First Prize for Beijing Science & Technology Progress.
• Construction Technology of HPC for the Capital International Airport
• Research on Production and Construction Technology of Phase Change Energy-saving Thermostat Concrete and Mortar
• Polycarboxylate Series High Performance Water Reducing Agent Compositing Technique
• State Swimming Center for Concrete Cracking Control Technology

China ACM is able remain extremely agile due to its close association with the Institute and has been able to incorporate many of these research findings into its operations, products, and procedures. The Institute was established by China ACM's Chairman and Vice Chairman, which currently maintain majority ownership. As such, the Company works very closely with the institute and has been granted exclusive areas for development purposes of China's ACM's existing plant's regional projects (all projects within a 30 kilometer radius in return for sponsoring multiple research initiatives).

In addition, China ACM has board membership and deep access to the institute's technology, research, and facilities. Due to this close relationship, China ACM is able to collaborate closely with the institute and its executives. The institute and its executives play a strong role in recommending industry standards, advising on major infrastructure developments, and creating and maintaining strong connections with leading developers, construction companies, and governmental officials.
