Toronto, Ontario – May 28, 2010 – Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., (TSX-V: BOY & BOY.DB) a fast-
growing construction company in China of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects,
reported today its financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010. All figures
are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
“We realized significant gains across each of our primary financial targets even though the third quarter is
generally our weakest due to seasonal factors and work stoppages relating to the Chinese New Year holiday
period,” said Mr. Cai Liang Shou, Chairman of Boyuan Construction Group. “In particular, we increased our
gross margins above historical norms to 16.6%, grew our after-tax net income by more than 85% to $2.2
million and signed new agreements worth $76.6 million, our largest total to date for a quarter and further
validating our decision to expand into neighbouring markets in Shandong.”

Adjusted net income is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP. It excludes a stock-based compensation charge of $3.2
million related to the fair value transfer of shares under the "make-good provision" of a financing agreement signed in July, 2009. The
Company believes that adjusted net income is more representative of its performance as the make good charge is a non-cash
accounting charge and not related to its business activities.
Review of Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $31 million, up 94.8% from $15.9 million for Q3 of
FY2009. Revenue for the first nine months of FY2010 was $103.7 million, compared to $60.6 million for the
same period in FY2009.
Boyuan recognizes revenue on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the ratio of costs
incurred up to a given date to estimated total costs for each contract. The significant year-over-year growth in
revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of successful project bids with higher
contract value by the Company as well as to an increase in demand for construction and engineering
services in the Yangtze River Delta region and Hainan Island, Boyuan’s core markets. Growth was also due
to the Company’s decision to expand into Shandong province.
Higher demand for construction and engineering services is due to ongoing urban migration and an
expansion of China’s middle class, which drive the need for new housing, commercial and public
infrastructure projects.
Cost of construction for the third quarter of FY2010 was $25.9 million compared to $13.6 million for Q3 of
FY2009. Cost of construction for the first nine months of FY 2010 was $86.1 million, up from $52.1 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 third quarter of FY2010 was $5.2 million, or 16.6% of revenue, compared to $2.3 million,
or 14.6% of revenue, for the same period of FY2009. Gross profit for the first nine months of FY2010 was
$17.5 million, or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $8.5 million, or 14.1% of revenue, for the same period of
FY2009. The year-over-year improvement in gross profit margins in Q3 by 200 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 slightly lower
than average gross margin in Q3 FY2009. Historically, the norm for the Company's gross margins is 15%.
After-tax net income for the third quarter of FY2010 was $2.2 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share,
compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, for Q3 of FY2009.
After-tax net income for the nine-month period was $5.5 million, down 2.1% from $5.6 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.
Excluding the make-good provision charge, adjusted net income for the nine-month period ended March 31,
2010 was $8.7 million, or $0.35 per share diluted, which compares to $5.6 million, or $0.22 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 working capital of $38.2 million, including cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents of
$6.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2010. This compares to $22.4 million and $5.5 million,
respectively, at June 30, 2009.
Outlook
“We are very encouraged by our short-term prospects and believe that we are well on track to realize our
after-tax net income target of $12.4 million for FY 2010 given our backlog and the number of projects
currently under way,” added Mr. Shou. “Over the longer term horizon, we believe that our focus on Hainan
Island and our recent decision to expand into Shandong provides tremendous opportunities for sustained

growth, particularly as demand for quality construction and engineering services in these markets remains
high and the competitive landscape continues to be fragmented.”
