CHINA HOUSING & LAND DEVELOPMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

China Housing & Land Development, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on July 6, 2004 under the name Pacific Northwest Productions Inc. (“Pacific”). On May 6, 2006, the Company changed its name to China Housing & Land Development, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xi'an Tsining Housing Development Company Inc. ("Tsining"), Xi'an New Land Development Co. ("New Land"), Xi'an Hao Tai Housing Development Company Inc. ("Hao Tai"), Manstate Assets Management Limited (“Manstate”), Xi’an Xinxing Property Management Co., Ltd. (“Xinxing Property”) (see Note 2), Puhua (Xi’an) Real Estate Development Co., Ltd (75% interest) (“Puhua”) and Success Hill Investments Limited (60% interest) (“Success Hill”) (collectively, the "Subsidiaries"). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position as at September 30, 2009 and results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on accounting principles that are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“2008 Annual Report”); except as disclosed below. They do not include certain footnote disclosures and financial information normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2008 Annual Report.

Accounting Principles Recently Adopted

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“SFAS 168”), as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. Therefore, beginning with the 10Q filing for September 30, 2009, all references made by the Company to GAAP in the consolidated financial statements will be the new codification numbering system.  The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and therefore, does not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance “Business Combinations” which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquirer and the goodwill acquired. It also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. It also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard resulted in changes to our presentation for non-controlling interests and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations and the required disclosures have been included in Notes 12 and 14.

In April 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under the previous guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for some entity-specific factors. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. This guidance requires the issuer of certain Convertible Debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-Convertible Debt borrowing rate. Such separate accounting also requires accretion of the resulting discount on the liability component of the debt to result in interest expense equal to an issuer`s non-Convertible Debt borrowing rate. In addition, the guidance provides for certain changes related to the measurement and accounting related to derecognition, modification or exchange. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. It addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing income per share under the two-class method. This guidance establishes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The adoption on January 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”, which provides operational guidance for determining other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) for debt securities. It’s effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption on April 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. It requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of “Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Additionally, it require disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. It does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments. The adoption on April 1, 2009 of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” It provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability has significantly decreased. It also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, It requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques. Since the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability of the Company have not decreased and there are no identifying transactions that are not orderly, the adoption on April 1, 2009 of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards for the accounting for and the disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The pronouncement requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. We adopted this pronouncement effective June 30, 2009, and the adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New accounting policies related to acquisition

On January 1, 2009, the Company acquired Xinxing Property (See Note 2). Xinxing Property provides property management services. The revenues of the property management services are recognized when the services are provided.

Depreciation of Xinxing Property’s income producing property’s improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 10 years.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation. The effects of the reclassifications were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Acquisition

On January 20, 2009, the Company signed an equity purchase agreement with the shareholders of Xinxing Property and acquired 100% ownership of Xinxing Property for a purchase price of RMB 12 million (approximately $1.76 million). Xinxing Property provides property management services to residential and commercial projects. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s ability to improve the value to customers during the after-sale phase of the real estate development business. The synergies and benefits gained are reflected in the value of goodwill recorded.

According to the purchase agreement, the operational control of Xinxing Property passed to the Company effective January 1, 2009, and, accordingly, the results of Xinxing Property’s operations have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income from that date. This acquisition is not considered material to the Company, and therefore, pro-forma information for the comparative period has not been presented.

The total purchase price included (1) an initial cash payment of RMB 2.0 million (approximately $0.3 million) payable upon signing of the purchase agreement, (2) a cash payment of RMB 3.6 million (approximately $0.5 million) payable on March 30, 2009, (3) an additional cash payment of RMB 3.6 million (approximately $0.5 million) payable on June 30, 2009 and (4) a final cash payment of RMB 2.8 million (approximately $0.4 million) payable on September 30, 2009. If the Company does not make payments after 45 days of signing the agreement, a 1% penalty per month will be calculated based on the payable amount. If the payment is delayed for more than 3 months, the original shareholders of Xinxing Property have the right to cancel the transaction. As of September 30, 2009, the remaining balance under the agreement amounted to $410,184 (see note 9).

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

Note 12 – Convertible Debt

On January 28, 2008, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Debt due in 2013 (the "Convertible Debt") and warrants to subscribe for common shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$20 million. The Convertible Debt bears interest at 5% per annum (computed based on the actual days elapsed in a period of 360 days) of the RMB notional principle amount, payable quarterly in arrears in U.S. Dollars on the first business day of each calendar quarter and on the maturity date. In addition, 1,437,467 five-year warrants were granted with a strike price of $6.07 per common share, which are callable if certain stock price thresholds are met. Approximately 215,620 warrants are also available as a management incentive if certain milestones are met. If the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debt is reduced to US$10 million or less as a result of repayment by the Company pursuant to the Convertible Debt as a result of any optional conversion by the Investors or mandatory conversion by the Company of the Convertible Debt, then each Investor agrees to surrender to the Company warrants for an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to such Investors’ pro rata share of 107,810 shares. If the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debt is reduced to $0 as a result of repayment by the Company pursuant to the Convertible Debt as a result of any optional conversion by the Investors or mandatory conversion by the Company of the Convertible Debt, then each Investor agrees to surrender to the Company warrants in addition to the 107,810 warrants surrendered pursuant to the $10 million reduction noted above for an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to such Investor’s pro rata share of 107,810 shares. The Company may hold in treasury and reissue to the officers and directors of the Company any warrants surrendered by the Investors. As of September 30, 2009, the Company did not repay any principle of Convertible Debt and the Investors did not deliver any optional conversion request to the Company.

The Investors have the right to convert up to 45% ($9 million) of the principal amount of the Convertible Debt into common shares at an initial conversion price of $5.57, subject to an upward adjustment. The Company, at its discretion, may redeem the remaining $11 million of Convertible Debt at 100% of the principle amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The warrants associated with the Convertible Debt grant the Investors the right to acquire shares of common stock at $6.07 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants may be exercised to purchase common stock at any time up to and including February 28, 2013.

The Convertible Debt is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in certain shares of common stock of Lu Pingji, the Chairman of the Company. The Convertible Debt is subject to events of default customary for convertible securities and for a secured financing.

Both the warrants and the embedded derivative associated with Convertible Debt meet the definition of a derivative instrument according to accounting guidance, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Because the warrant and the convertible debt are denominated in U.S. dollars but the company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi, the exemption from derivative instrument accounting provided by the accounting guidance is not available and therefore the warrant and embedded conversion option are recorded as derivative instrument liabilities and periodically marked-to-market. The fair value of the warrants and the embedded derivative on inception were determined to be $3,419,653 and $3,927,375, respectively, using the Cox-Rubinstein-Ross Binomial Lattice Model (the “CRR Model”) with the following assumption: expected life 4.32 years, expected volatility - 75%, risk free interest rate - 2.46% and dividend rate - 0%. The fair value of the warrants and embedded derivative at September 30, 2009 were determined to be of $4,721,195 (December 31, 2008 - $3,419,653) and $3,777,671 (December 31, 2008 – $3,927,375), respectively, using the CRR Model with the following assumption: expected life 3.33 - 3.42 years, expected volatility -105%, risk free interest rate - 1.59 - 1.63% and dividend rate - 0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a change in fair value for warrants and embedded derivatives of $(662,080) (2008 - $(1,827,824)) and $(2,695,306) (2008 - $(2,101,825)), respectively, in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a change in fair value for warrants and embedded derivatives of $3,604,052 (2008 - $(2,236,811)) and $3,017,273 (December 31, 2008 - $(2,556,313)), respectively, in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

After allocating the gross proceeds to the fair value of the warrants and the embedded derivative instrument, the remaining proceeds were allocated as the initial carrying value of the Convertible Debt. The initial carrying value of the Convertible Debt is accreted to its stated amount on maturity using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate was determined to be 15.42%. The carrying value of Convertible Debt at September 30, 2009 was $14,511,239 (December 31, 2008 - $13,621,934). Related interest expense and accretion expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $269,221 (2008 - $259,707) and $311,319 (2008 - $266,541), respectively. Related interest expense and accretion expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $798,894 (2008 - $695,402) and $889,305 (2008 - $691,782), respectively.

In connection with this transaction, the Company and the Investors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to register within 60 calendar days after closing shares of common stock issuable to the Investors for resale on a Form S-3 Registration Statement to be effective no later than the 180th day after the closing date of the transaction. If the Form S-3 is not available at that time, then the Company will file a Registration Statement on such form as is then available to effect a registration of the registrable securities, subject to the consent of the Investors, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall register an amount of common stock for resale that equals at least 125% of the sum of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debt and the exercise of the warrants. The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary exceptions and qualifications and compliance with certain registration procedures. The Company is subject to the late registration penalty payment equal to the product of (i) the Investor’s outstanding principal amount and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing 12% by 360 (the “Late Payments”).

The Company commenced negotiations with the Investors in December 2008 for a waiver for the Late Payments, as the Company and the Investors believed that the registration would become effective within a short period of time. However, as the registration has not become effective as of September 2009, the Company has accrued for the Late Payments as security registration expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has recorded security registration expenses of $579,775 (2008 - $0). For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has recorded security registration expenses of $1,786,517 (2008 - $0). On September 28, 2009, the Company reached a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Investors to settle the Late Payments, in the amount of $2,400,000, by the issuance of 614,290 common stock. The 614,290 common stock was determined by dividing $2,400,000, the total Late Payments up to September 28, 2009, by 95% of the historical volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock, as determined by using Bloomberg function VWAP, for the immediate preceding 30 days period. In accordance with the Amendment, the Investors will waive any further Late Payments against the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement.

As at September 30, 2009, the 614,290 common stock to settle the Late Payments has not been issued. Therefore, the amount has been recorded as common stock subscribed.

Note 13 – Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest consists of the interest of non-controlling shareholders in the subsidiaries of the Company. As of September 30, 2009 non-controlling interest amounted to $28,830,195 (December 31, 2008 - $29,109,350).

On November 5, 2008, the Company and Prax Capital entered into a conditional joint venture agreement to develop 79 acres within China Housing’s Baqiao project located in Xi’an. Prax Capital invested US$ 29.3 million for a 25% interest in Puhua with various distribution rights. Prax Capital’s shares are redeemable at the option of holder, provided that Prax gives advance notice, and with the Company’s approval. Prax Capital has the first right of distribution and there is a maximum amount that Prax Capital can receive. At this time, the Company believes that it is not probable that Prax Capital will exercise their redemption option.

On November 5, 2008, New Land entered into a Deed of Guarantee (the “Guarantee”), in favor of Prax Capital and Success Hill (Success Hill and together with Prax Capital, the “Beneficiaries”) whereby the Company guarantees the performance of certain obligations of New Land and Manstate pursuant to the terms and conditions of various agreements entered into by and between Prax Capital, Success Hill and New Land, among others, in connection with a Framework Agreement entered into on November 5, 2008, (“Framework Agreement”) by and between New Land, the Company and Prax Capital. Prax Capital and New Land, through the Framework Agreement and the other related agreements, intend to jointly participate in bidding for land use rights with respect to a parcel of land and shall cause that land to be developed, operated and sold.

 
-16-

 

The Guarantee is a continuing Guarantee and shall remain effective until a termination event occurs as contemplated by the Guarantee. If the Company fails to timely and fully perform its obligations under the Guarantee then the Beneficiaries shall be afforded the appropriate remedy as contemplated by the Guarantee, including, but not limited to, the claim for damages and the reimbursement of expenses. Any amounts payable under the Guarantee by the Company shall include an interest accrued at the rate of 10% per annum from the due date of such payment.

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company owned a 75% interest in Puhua (Xi’an) Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (“Puhua”), a real estate development company. Given the Company’s controlling ownership interest, the accounts of Puhua have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a non-controlling interest has been recorded for the non-controlling investors’ interests in the net assets and operations of Puhua in accordance with the non-controlling investor’s investments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Some of the statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of terminology such as estimates, projects, plans, believes, expects, anticipates, intends, or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements, that such statements, which are contained in this Form 10-Q reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, services, products, and licenses. No assurances can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events and conditions that may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation: our ability to attract and retain management to integrate and maintain technical information and management information systems; our ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms and conditions; the intensity of competition; and general economic conditions.

All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Form 10-Q that are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Given the uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

When reading our financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Warrants and derivative liability

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has approximately $4.7 million of warrants liability and $3.8 million of fair value of embedded derivatives on the balance sheet, representing approximately 4.0% and 3.2% of the total liabilities, respectively.

We utilize the Cox-Rubinstein-Ross (“CRR”) Binomial Lattice Model to estimate the fair values of warrants liability and embedded derivatives. The CRR model depends on the following assumptions: the Company’s common stock price underlying the warrants; strike price; conversion price; expected life; expected volatility; risk free interest rate; and dividend rate. We used the CRR Binomial Lattice Model for the past 3 years and we do not expect any significant changes to assumptions except for the common share price and the expected volatility.

We estimate the fair value of warrants liability and embedded derivatives every quarter and recognize the change of fair value as gain or loss on our current quarter consolidated statement of income. The fair values of warrants liability and embedded derivatives have changed during the past few years according to the valuation models and the fair values are positively related to the market share price movement and the volatility.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, our common stock price experienced large fluctuations with the price decreasing from $5.58 on July 1, 2009 to $3.85 on September 30, 2009. The decrease in stock price caused a decrease in fair value for warrants liability and embedded derivatives. As a result, we recognized approximately $3.04 million as a change in fair value of warrants and $2.70 million as a change in fair value of embedded derivatives, which are all non-cash gains.

Real estate held for development or sale, intangible asset and deposits on land use rights

As of November 10, 2009, our market capitalization is approximately $119.9 million.

We evaluate the recoverability of our real estate developments taking into account several factors including, but not limited to, our plans for future operations, prevailing market prices for similar properties and projected cash flows.

We review real estate projects, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, we measure impairment by comparing the carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected resulting from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the total of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets.

Our significant judgments and estimates related to impairment include our determination if an event has occurred to warrant an impairment test. If a test is required, other significant judgments and estimates will include our expectations of future cash flows and the calculation of the fair value of the impaired assets.
 
When real estate costs are determined to be impaired, they are written down to their estimated net realizable value. The Company evaluates the carrying value for impairment based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. Write-downs of real estate costs deemed impaired are recorded as adjustments to the cost basis. There has been no impairment on real estate inventories and no impairment loss has been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Intangible asset
 
The Company’s intangible asset is related to the exclusive rights to develop 487 acres of land in the Baqiao area acquired in 2007. The Company believes that the cooperation agreement with Baqiao District Government will be extended after June 2011. Based on the prevailing market condition in Xi’an city we concluded that there is no impairment.

According to the agreement with Baqiao District Government, at the beginning of each year, the Company will prepare the annual work plan and have it approved by Baqiao District Government. The annual work plan will include the detailed projects that will be started during that year and the Baqiao District Government is responsible for the land clearance. Due to the delay of land clearance progress, certain scheduled projects have been postponed. The Baqiao District Government acknowledged the delay and informed us of their intention to extend the agreement. Currently, we still have 348 acres land undeveloped and $41.7 million in intangible assets. If there’s any event that leads the Company to believe it’s unlikely to extend the agreement, we will assess the impairment of the intangible asset and write off the intangible asset from our balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, intangible asset consists of the following:

46,043,660
 
 
The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Based on the estimated future cash flows, the Company records a write-down for impairments, if appropriate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded $0 of impairment on this intangible asset.
 
The Company amortized the intangible asset based on the percentage of the profit margin realized over the total expected profit margin to be realized from the 487 acre land in the Baqiao project. During fiscal 2007, the Company sold 18.5 acres of land and the related profit margin realized on that sale represented 2.4% of the total estimated profit margin on the whole 487 acre project, as a result, the Company amortized $1,157,758 (2.4%) of the total intangible asset during fiscal 2007. This method is intended to match the pattern of amortization with the income-generating capacity of the intangible asset. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded $0 of amortization on this intangible assetAmortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $0. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $4,360,003 and $0, respectively. The amortization expense was capitalized and included in the real estate construction in progress.

Management re-evaluated the expected profit margin from the 487 acres of land as at September 30, 2009 and recalculated the intangible amortization related to the 2008 land sales based on the new estimate. As a result, management found the difference resulting from the change of estimate was not material. Therefore no adjustment was made in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the change of accounting estimate of total profit margin on the 487 acres of land.

The Company conducts regular reviews of the deposits on land use right. After review and assessment, the Company concluded that there was no significant decrease in the market price and therefore no impairment write-down was required. According to E House (China) Real Estate Research Institute the average residential sale price in Xi’an city was stable in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009. The average sale price increased to 4,962 RMB per square meter (approximately US$ 726 per square meter) from 4,642 RMB in the second quarter 2009, representing about 7% year-on-year growth.
 
Material trends and uncertainties that may impact continuing operations
 
        Changes in national and regional economic conditions, as well as in areas where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live, may result in more caution on the part of homebuyers resulting in fewer home purchases. According to data from the Xi’an Bureau of Statistics, Xi’an city’s real estate transaction volume (in terms of sq. meter signed) decreased about 30% in 2008 compared to 2007. All our projects are currently in Xi’an city, the downturn of the real estate market in Xi’an caused a decline in operating revenues in 2008. In 2009, the market has improved and transaction volume has increased compared to same period of 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, our revenue increased approximately 204% over same period of 2008.

        Virtually all purchasers of our homes finance their acquisitions through lenders providing mortgage financing. A substantial increase in mortgage interest rates or unavailability of mortgage financing would adversely affect the ability of prospective homebuyers to obtain the financing they need in order to purchase our homes, as well as the ability of prospective move-up homebuyers to sell their current homes. For example, if mortgage financing became less available, demand for our homes could decline. A reduction in demand could also have an adverse effect on the pricing of our homes because we (and our competitors) may reduce prices in an effort to compete for home buyers. A reduction in pricing could result in a decline in revenues and margins. We do not expect any substantial change in current mortgage policy or the prevailing mortgage rate in the near future.
 
        The real estate development industry is capital intensive, requiring significant up-front expenditures to acquire land and begin development. Accordingly, we incur substantial indebtedness to finance our homebuilding and land development activities. Although we believe that internally generated funds and current borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our capital and other expenditures (including land acquisition, development and construction activities), the amounts available from such sources may not be adequate to meet our needs. If such sources are not sufficient, we would seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity financing from a variety of potential sources, including bank financing and/or securities offerings. The availability of borrowed funds, to be utilized for land acquisition, development and construction, may be greatly reduced, and the lending community may require larger amounts of equity to be invested by borrowers in a project in connection with new loans. Failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund planned capital and other expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        In addition, regulatory requirements could force us to incur significant liabilities and operating expenses and could restrict our business activities. We are subject to statutes and rules regulating, among other things, certain developmental matters, building and site design, and matters concerning the protection of health and the environment. Our operating expenses may be increased by governmental regulations such as building permit allocation ordinances and impact and other fees and taxes, which may be imposed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. Any delay or refusal from government agencies to grant the necessary licenses, permits and approvals could have an adverse effect on our operations.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $19,089,130 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $37,425,340 as of December 31, 2008, a decrease of $18,336,210. However, cash and cash equivalents had an increase of $8,955,530 since June 30, 2009.

The Company believes that the combination of present capital resources, internally generated funds, and unused financing sources are more than adequate to meet cash requirements for the year 2009. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of land for the development of future projects, through cash provided by operations and additional funds raised by future financings. Upon acquiring land for future development, we intend to raise funds to develop our projects by obtaining mortgage financing mainly from local banking institutions with which we have done business in the past. We believe that our relationships with these banks are in good standing and that our real estate will secure the loans needed. We believe that adequate cash will be available to fund our operations.

JunJing II: JunJing II is located at 38 East Hujiamiao, Xi’an, with a total gross floor area (“GFA”) of approximately 248,568 square meters. It is the first Canadian style residential community with “green and energy-saving” characteristics in Xi’an and has won the “National Energy Saving Project” award. The project is divided into 2 phases, namely JunJing II Phase One and JunJing II Phase Two. We started the construction of JunJing II Phase One in the third quarter of 2007 and started the pre-sale campaign in the second quarter of 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, our customers of JunJing II Phase One have signed pre-sale purchase agreements for apartments with purchase prices totaling $68.5 million, of which we have recognized $66.5 million in revenues, based on the percentage of completion method of accounting.

The construction of Phase Two commenced in the second quarter of 2009 and pre-sales started within the same quarter. As of September 30, 2009, the contract revenue for Phase Two was $ 19.1 million, of which we have recognized $ 9.8 million in revenues. Revenue will continue to be recognized as construction advances.

For JunJing II and Puhua projects, approximately $8.7 million of pre-sale payments were booked as advances from customers and will be recognized as revenues as construction advances.

Puhua: The Puhua project, the Company’s 79 acre joint venture located in the Baqiao project, has a total land area of 192,582 square meters and an expected gross floor area of approximately 610,000 square meters. In November 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Prax Capital China Real Estate Fund I, Ltd., to form a joint venture. The joint venture was formed in late 2008, subject to certain conditions and approvals, which have been satisfied. Prax Capital Real Estate Holdings Limited invested US$29.3 million in cash in the joint venture, the joint venture acquired the land use rights early in the first quarter of 2009, and the joint venture is proceeding with the project.

The construction of the Puhua project began in June 2009. The whole project, which consists of four phases, is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014, with estimated revenues of $700 million. The Company began accepting pre-sale contracts for units in the Puhua Phase One project on October 24th. During the inaugural sales weekend, the Company sold 133 out of 192 residential units made available with a total gross floor area ("GFA") of approximately 16,388 sq. meters. The contract amount for the units sold totaled $10.53 million and included residential space within a high-rise building, a mid- rise building and three garden homes.

Baqiao New Development Zone:  On March 9, 2007, we entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with the shareholders of Xi’an New Land Development Co., Ltd. (New Land), under which the Company acquired 32,000,000 shares of New Land, constituting 100 percent equity ownership of New Land. This acquisition gave the Company the exclusive right to develop and sell 487 acres of land in the Eastern part of Xi’an city. We believe this represents a major growth opportunity for the Company.

Xi’an has designated the Baqiao District as a major resettlement zone in which the city expects an middle – to upper – income population of 900,000 to settle. The Xi’an government intends to create a successful development comparable to the development of Pudong in Shanghai, which has resulted in new economic opportunities and provided housing for Shanghai’s growing population.

The Xi’an municipal government plans to invest 50 billion RMB (over $6 billion) in infrastructure for the Baqiao New Development Zone. The construction of a large-scale public wetland park is well underway; which will embellish the natural environment adjacent to our Baqiao project.

Through its New Land subsidiary, the Company sold approximately 18 acres to another developer in 2007 and generated approximately $24.41 million in revenue.
  
In 2008, we initiated a joint venture with Prax Capital Real Estate Holdings Limited (Prax Capital) to develop 79 acres within the Baqiao project, which represents the first phase of the Baqiao project’s development. Prax Capital invested $29.3 million in cash in the joint venture. The project is further described in the Puhua section.
  
After selling approximately18 acres, placing 79 acres into the joint venture with Prax Capital, and setting aside approximately 42 acres for the newly planned Golden Bay project, approximately 348 acres remain for the Company to develop in the Baqiao project.
   
JunJing III: JunJing III is near our JunJing II project and the city expressway. It has an expected total gross floor area of approximately 47,586 square meters. The project will consist of 3 high rise buildings, each 28 to 30 stories high. The project is targeting middle to high income customers who require a high quality living environment with convenient transportation to the city center. We plan to start construction during the fourth quarter of 2009 and expect pre-sales to begin during quarter one of 2010.

The four-year construction of Park Plaza is expected to begin in the third quarter 2010. We anticipate accepting pre-sale purchase agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010, and revenues from pre-sale agreements will be recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The total revenue from Park Plaza is estimated to be $206 million.

Golden Bay: The Golden Bay project is located within the Baqiao project, with a total gross floor area of 378,887 square meters. The Golden Bay project will consist of residential buildings as well as a commercial area. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2010, and we expect to begin accepting pre-sale purchase agreements in the first quarter of 2011. Revenue will be recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenues

Our revenues are mainly derived from the sale of residential and commercial units and buildings, infrastructure work we perform for the local government and land development projects in the Baqiao area.

In the third quarter of 2009, most of our revenues came from Tsining JunJing II phases one and two. JunJing II phase one consists of 13 residential buildings and 3 auxiliary buildings, including one kindergarten, with a gross floor area of about 136,012 square meters. This project began to be delivered to customers at the end of October, 2009. JunJing II phase two consists of 12 buildings, mainly middle and high rises, and began to accept pre-sale contracts in the second quarter 2009.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the percentage of completion method of accounting for revenue recognition for all building construction projects in progress, including the Tsining JunJing II. The full accrual method was used before that date for all of our residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Infrastructure projects continue to be accounted for using the full accrual method of accounting.

The revenues from the sale of properties in the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 204% to $22,728,282 from $7,475,692 in the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the increased revenue from Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two.

Our project in process is the Baqiao project where we have the exclusive right to develop 487 acres. In 2007, we acquired the development rights and recognized $24,405,717 in revenue as a result of an approximately 18 acre land sale to an unrelated developer. Near the end of 2008, we initiated a joint venture with Prax Capital to co-develop 79 acres within the Baqiao project. Prax Capital invested $29.3 million in cash into the joint venture. After setting aside approximately 42 acres for the newly planned Golden Bay project, approximately 348 acres remain available for development in the Baqiao project.

Revenues from projects under construction

Tsining JunJing II Phase One

Tsining JunJing II Phase One was our major revenue generating construction project in the three months ended September 30, 2009, contributing 12,130,788 in revenues. By September 30, 2009, we pre-sold approximately 1,077 units in the project, totaling approximately 111,463 square meters, which accounts for approximately 91% and 82% of the total units available and total GFA respectively.

JunJing II Phase One consists of 13 middle-rise and high-rise residential buildings and 3 auxiliary buildings, including a kindergarten, with a gross floor area of approximately 136,012 square meters. Estimated total revenues for Phase One are approximately $95.6 million. The Company completed most of the construction of Phase One in the third quarter of 2009.

Tsining JunJing II Phase Two

Tsining JunJing II Phase Two consists of 12 middle and high-rise buildings with total expected revenues of approximately $94.1 million. We officially started pre-sales in the second quarter of 2009 and were able to secure $19.1 million in sales contracts for 202 units of which we recognized approximately $8.8 million in the third quarter. As of September 30, we have pre-sold 22% of total units available and 21% of total GFA.

Please note that the method of percentage of completion was utilized to recognize revenue from Jan. 1, 2008. Only revenue recognition of Tsining JunJing II is under this method. The percentages of completion of the construction for each building as at September 30, 2009 are shown below:

Revenues from projects completed

The revenue from completed projects totaled $1,792,053 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $224,221 during same period of 2008. The overall real estate market in China is stronger than last year. A large portion of revenue came from the sales of commercial units in the Tsining 24G project, which have higher average selling price and contributing approximately $1.6 million in revenues.

Other income

Other income includes property management fees, rental income, revenues from the disposal of fixed assets as well as government’s allowance for the equivalent cost of interest on the Company’s investments required to support infrastructure construction, continued river management and suburban planning for the entire Baqiao high-technology industrial park. We recognized $1,065,363 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $70,070 in the same period of 2008. The 1,420% increase is mainly due to the acquisition of Xinxing Property Management, which contributed approximately $643,861 property and hotel management revenues to our consolidated revenues, and the increased rental income from existing commercial units.

Cost of properties and land

The cost of properties and land in the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 169.7 percent to $16,374,170 compared with $6,071,599 in the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of the increased sales volume in our JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two projects.

 
-32-

 

Gross profit and profit margin

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $7,419,475, representing an increase of 403 percent from $1,474,163 in the same period of 2008. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 31.2 percent compared with 19.5 percent in the same period of 2008. The relatively low gross margin in the third quarter of 2008 is primarily due to the fact that residential units sold in that quarter were subject to a marketing campaign that utilized favorable prices to attract market interest and encourage future sales. This year we concentrated more on the research and development and we are able to deliver real estate with better quality and increased average sales price. Meanwhile the performance of sales is much better with the improvement in market conditions. Our gross margin increased due to all these factors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 56.9 percent to $ 2,501,688 from $ 1,594,514 in the same period of 2008. The increase in SG&A is associated with the increased sales. This quarter’s SG&A mainly include marketing expenses associated with Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two as well as administrative and marketing expenses related to the Puhua project. SG&A accounted to 10.5% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 21.13% for the same period in 2008.

Stock-based compensation

We incurred stock-based compensation expenses amounting to $87,777 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, which was for the common stock issued for service provided by the Company’s former CFO. We recorded $3,000,000 in the same period of 2008 for 750,000 shares of common stock granted to members of management for their 2007 services. The number of shares granted to each individual is calculated in accordance with the Company’s Detail Implementation Rule for Restricted Stock Incentive Plan of 2007-2008. The compensation was based on the stock price on the grant date of July 2, 2008, which was the day the awards were formally approved by the Board of Directors.
 
Other expenses

Other expenses consist mainly of late delivery settlements and maintenance costs.  Other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 366.8 percent to $284,044 compared with $60,848 in the same period of 2008. Combined with the delivery and sales from the JunJing project, the expenses increased slightly.

Operating profit and operating profit margin

Operating profit is defined as gross profit minus selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation, security registration expenses and other expenses.  Operating profit in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,966,191 compared with $3,181,199 operating loss in the same period of 2008, primarily due to the higher revenues generated by Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two and insignificant stock-based compensation. As a result, the operating profit margin was 16.67 percent for the third quarter of 2009 compared with negative 42.2 percent for the same period of 2008.

Interest expense

Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 35 percent to $417,809 from $638,228 in the same period of 2008. This is primarily due to the capitalization of interest in the construction in progress and repayment of the $7.3million bank loan. In 2008, the Company signed a RMB 1 billion (about $147 million) construction credit line agreement with China Construction Bank. During 2008, we drew down approximately $22 million of the credit line. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the company drew down another $13 million of the credit line and repaid $7.3 million. The loan from China Construction Bank has an interest rate that floats at 110 percent of the People’s Bank of China reference rate.

Change in fair value of embedded derivative

The embedded derivative is related to the Company’s $20 million Convertible Debt offering completed in January 2008. The change in the fair value of embedded derivatives was a periodic adjustment to the estimated cost to the Company, which was provided by the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Lattice valuation model (CRR model).

 
-33-

 

The CRR model depends on the following assumptions: the Company’s common stock price underlying the warrants; strike price; conversion price; expected life; expected volatility; risk free interest rate; and dividend rate. During the third quarter of 2009, our common stock price experienced large fluctuations with the price decreasing from $5.76 on June 30, 2009 to $3.85 on September 30, 2009. The decrease in stock price and expected volatility caused a decrease in fair value for warrants and the change of fair value was booked as a reverse of non-cash expense.

The company recorded $(2,695,306) in the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $(2,101,825) in the same period of 2008.
 
Change in fair value of warrants

In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of common shares or Convertible Debt. The warrants permit the investors to buy additional common shares at the prices specified in the warrant agreements.

An investor typically only exercises a warrant to buy common shares when the stock price is higher than the warrant exercise price. In the three months ended September 30, 2009, 273,887 warrants were exercised. The investor pays the exercise price and the Company covers the difference between the warrant exercise price and the share price at the time of conversion.

In addition, the Company was required to estimate the fair value of its remaining warrants outstanding and adjust the value as appropriate, and it chose to use the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Lattice valuation model to estimate their fair value.

The change in fair value of warrants was $(3,042,752) in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $(2,939,563) during the same period of 2008, which consisted of the periodic adjustment to the estimated cost to the company to provide the common shares, assuming that all of the warrants will be exercised sometime in the future. The basis for estimating the cost to provide the common shares was provided by the valuation model. The CRR model depends on the following assumptions: the Company’s common stock price underlying the warrants; strike price; expected life; expected volatility; risk free interest rate; and dividend rate. During the third quarter of 2009, our common stock price experienced large fluctuations with the price decreasing from $5.76 on June 30, 2009 to $3.85 on September 30, 2009. The decrease in stock price and expected volatility caused a decrease in fair value for warrants and the change of fair value was booked as a reverse of non-cash expense.

Security registration expenses

Pursuant to the agreement with the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt, the Company was required to pay the investors certain late registration payments (“Late Payments”) if the company failed to file a Registration Statement within 60 days after the closing date of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt. The Company commenced negotiations with the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt to waive the Late Payments in December 2008, as both parties believed that the registration statement would become effective within a short period of time. However, as the registration statement has not become effective as of September 2009, the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt have decided to claim the Late Payments. The Company has accrued for the Late Payments of $579,775 in the third quarter. On September 28, 2009, the Company reached a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Investors to settle the Late Payments, in the amount of $2,400,000, by the issuance of 614,290 common stock shares. The 614,290 common stock was determined by dividing $2,400,000, the total Late Payments up to September 28, 2009, by 95% of the historical volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock shares, as determined by using Bloomberg function VWAP, for the immediate preceding 30 days period. In accordance with the Amendment, the Investors will waive any further Late Payments against the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement. We do not expect any similar claim in the future.

The security registration expenses were $579,775 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $0 in the same period of 2008.

Recovery of income taxes
 
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $3,652,886 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $388,308 in the same period of 2008. In the third quarter, the Company reached an income tax settlement with local tax bureau. Based on the settlement, Hao Tai, a subsidiary of the Company, received a tax credit of $4.86 million. The Company estimated the tax provision for other subsidiaries based on a 25% statutory rate.

Non-controlling Interest

We recorded a $86,121 loss attributable to non-controlling shareholder of Puhua and Success Hill, which was related to the formation of Puhua in the third quarter of 2008. We did not have any loss attributable to non-controlling shareholder in the same period of 2008 before Puhua’s formation.

Net income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 778.6 percent to $12,714,128 compared to $1,447,072 in the same period of 2008.

We believe that the net income increase was a result of multiple factors. The overall real estate market condition in Xi’an has improved since the beginning of 2009 and through the third quarter, which is also demonstrated in the pre-sales results of our current projects under construction, i.e. JunJing II Phase one and Phase two. In the third quarter, we were able to recognize approximately $21 million as revenue from JunJing II project and were able to secure approximately $21.95 million new contracts. As of September 30, 2009, we have pre-sold 111,463 sq. meters out of 136,012 sq. meters total GFA of Junjing II Phase one, approximately 82% on the GFA basis and 91% on the unit basis.

With the introduction of JunJing II Phase two, we are also expecting the gross margin will be improved slightly in the future, which is primarily because of its better quality and higher average price in JunJing II Phase two. The average price for Phase two has reached $726/square meter, $17 higher than Phase one.

The periodic revaluation of derivatives and warrants also contributed approximately $5.7 million during the quarter mainly due to the decrease of our common stock price. The large fluctuation in our common stock price in recent months has resulted in an approximately $13.1 million revaluation non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2009.

The settlement of tax with the local tax bureau during the third quarter also contributed approximately $4.86 million, which is considered to be a one-time gain.

Basic and diluted earnings per share
 
Basic earnings per share was $0.41 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.05 in the same period of 2008. Diluted earnings per share was $0.24 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.04 in the same period of 2008. The number of shares outstanding doesn’t change significantly from year to year. Earnings available to distribute increased greatly from $1.45 million in third quarter of 2008 to $12.71 million in the third quarter of this year. The EPS and diluted EPS reflected the Company’s improved performance during the third quarter of this year.

Common shares used to calculate basic and diluted EPS

The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share was 31,134,137 shares in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 30,877,453 shares in the same period of 2008. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate the diluted earnings per share was 32,972,253 shares in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 30,882,483 shares in the same period of 2008.

Foreign exchange

The company operates in China and the functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (RMB) but the reporting currency is U.S. dollar, based on the exchange rate of the two currencies. The fluctuation of exchange rates during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and the same period of 2008, when translating the operating results and financial positions at different exchange rates, created the accrued gain (loss) on foreign exchange. The gain on foreign exchange in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $69,244, compared with $911,996 in the same period of 2008.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

The revenues from the sale of properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 126.8 percent to $56,835,091 from $25,054,867 in the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the increased revenue from Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two

As a result of the utilization of the full accrual method of accounting for infrastructure projects, we have not recognized revenues from the infrastructure project in the Baqiao area. We expect to recognize the revenues associated with the construction of the river dam in the third quarter 2009 when the project is delivered to the local government.

Revenues from projects under construction

Tsining JunJing II Phase One

Tsining JunJing II Phase One was our major revenue generating construction project in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, contributing $42,457,017 in revenues. By September 30, 2009, we had pre-sold approximately 1,077 units in the project, totaling approximately 111,463 square meters.

Tsining JunJing II Phase Two

Tsining JunJing II Phase Two consists of 12 middle-rise and high-rise buildings with total expected revenues of approximately $94.1 million. We officially started the pre-sales in the second quarter of 2009 and were able to secure $19.1 million in sales contracts for 224 units of which we recognized approximately $9.8 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Revenues from projects completed

Revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 for completed projects decreased 8.49% percent to $4,613,537 compared with $5,041,431 in the same period of 2008. The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to reduced sales of JunJing I project, as most units of the project were sold out.

Other income

Other income includes property management fees, rental income, revenues from the disposal of fixed assets as well as government’s allowance for the equivalent cost of interest on the Company’s investments required to support infrastructure construction, continued river management, and suburban planning for the entire Baqiao high-technology industrial park. We recognized $3,405,156 in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $482 022 in the same period of 2008. The 606% increase is mainly due to the acquisition of Xinxing Property Management during the first quarter of 2009, which contributed approximately $1,787,705 property and hotel management revenues to our consolidated revenues.

Cost of properties and land

The cost of properties and land in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 109.6 percent to $41,266,855 compared with $19,691,432 in the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of the increased sales volume in our JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two projects.

Gross profit and profit margin

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $18,973,392, representing an increase of 224.6 percent from $5,845,457 in the same period of 2008. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 31.5 percent compared with 22.9 percent in the same period of 2008. The increase in the gross profit margin was mainly due to our different product mix and our marketing strategy. The residential units we sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 generally had higher profit margins than the units sold in the same period of 2008. In addition, due to the fact that we had a marketing campaign for our JunJing II project from the second quarter of 2008 and used favorable prices to attract market interest and encourage future sales. This year we concentrated more on the research and development and we are able to deliver real estate with better quality and increased average sales price. Meanwhile the performance of sales is much better with the improvement in market conditions. Our gross margin increased because of all these factors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 40.6 percent to $5,853,458 from $4,161,865 in the same period of 2008. The increase in SG&A is due to the increased sales, for example, the marketing expenses associated with Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two projects and the administrative expenses and marketing expenses related to the Puhua project. However the ratio of SG&A to total revenues for the nine months decreased from 16.3% in 2008 to 9.72% in 2009, because the Company is improving the management and become more and more efficient in operation.

Stock-based compensation

We incurred stock-based compensation expenses amounting to $87,777 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, common stock issued for service provided by the Company’s former CFO: this amount is compared to $3,000,000 in stock- based compensation expenses in the same period of 2008 for 750,000 shares of common stock granted to members of management for their 2007 services. The number of shares granted to each individual was calculated in accordance with the Company’s Detail Implementation Rule for Restricted Stock Incentive Plan of 2007-2008. The compensation was based on the stock price on the grant date of July 2, 2008, which is the day the awards were formally approved by the Board of Directors.

Other expenses

Other expenses consist mainly of late delivery settlements and maintenance costs.

Other expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 517.7 percent to $474,167 compared with $76,758 in the same period of 2008. The Company incurred a larger amount of expenses regarding the delivery and sales of JunJing project.

Operating profit and operating profit margin

Operating profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $10,771,473 compared with $1,393,166 operating loss in the same period of 2008 , primarily due to the higher revenue generated by Tsining JunJing II Phase One and Phase Two. As a result, the operating profit margin was 17.88 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with negative 5.5 percent for the same period of 2008.

Interest expense

Interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 31 percent to $1,202,786 from $1,736,344 in the same period of 2008. This change was primarily due to the capitalization of interest in construction in process and repayment of a 18.4 million bank loan. In mid-2008, the Company signed a RMB 1 billion (about $147 million) construction credit line agreement with China Construction Bank. During 2008, we drew down approximately $22 million of the credit line. The company repaid $18.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The loan from China Construction Bank has an interest rate that floats at 110 percent of the People’s Bank of China reference rate.

Change in fair value of embedded derivative

The Company recorded $3,017,272 expense in the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $2,556,313 reverse of expense in the same period of 2008.

Change in fair value of warrants

In 2006, 2007 and 2008 the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of common shares or Convertible Debt. The warrants permit the shareholders to buy additional common shares at the prices specified in the warrant agreements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, 370,810 warrants were exercised. A shareholder typically only exercises a warrant to buy common shares when the stock price is higher than the warrant exercise price. The shareholder pays the exercise price and the Company covers the difference between the warrant exercise price and the share price at the time of conversion.

In addition, the Company was required to estimate the fair value of its remaining warrants outstanding and adjust the value as appropriate, and it chose to use the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Lattice valuation model to estimate their fair value.

The change in fair value of warrants was $4,012,736 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $(3,895,615) during the same period of 2008, which consisted of the periodic adjustment to the estimated cost to the company to provide the common shares, assuming that all the of the warrants will be exercised sometime in the future. The basis for estimating the cost to provide the common shares was provided by the valuation model. The CRR model depends on the following assumptions: the Company’s common stock price underlying the warrants; strike price; expected life; expected volatility; risk free interest rate; and dividend rate. During the first nine months of 2009, our common stock price experienced large fluctuations with the price increasing from $1.29 on December 31, 2008 to $3.85 on September 30, 2009. The increase in stock price and expected volatility caused an increase in fair value for warrants and the change of fair value was booked as a non-cash expense.

Security registration expenses

Pursuant to the agreement with the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt, the Company was required to pay the investors certain late registration payments (“Late Payments”) if the company failed to file a Registration Statement within 60 days after the closing date of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt. The Company commenced negotiations with the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt to waive the Late Payments in December 2008, as both parties believed that the registration statement would become effective within a short period of time. However, as the registration statement has not become effective as of September 2009, the investors of the 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debt have decided to claim the Late Payments. The Company has accrued for the Late Payments of $579,775 in the third quarter. On September 28, 2009, the Company reached a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Investors to settle the Late Payments, in the amount of $2,400,000, by the issuance of 614,290 common stock shares. The 614,290 common stock was determined by dividing $2,400,000, the total Late Payments up to September 28, 2009, by 95% of the historical volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock shares, as determined by using Bloomberg function VWAP, for the immediate preceding 30 days period. In accordance with the Amendment, the Investors will waive any further Late Payments against the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement. We do not expect any similar claim in the future.

The security registration expenses were $1,786,517 for nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $0 in the same period of 2008.

Recovery of income taxes
 
The company booked a recovery for income tax provision of $1,591,331 compared with $0 in the same period of 2008. The Company calculates income tax provision based on the 25% statutory rate for each of the subsidiaries. The recovery was caused by the tax settlement between Hao Tai and the local tax bureau. Due to the settlement the Company recovered around $4.86 million in the third quarter.

Non-controlling Interest

We recorded a $279,155 loss attributable to non-controlling shareholder of Puhua and Success Hill in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which was related to the formation of Puhua in 2008. We did not have any loss attributable to non-controlling shareholder in the same period of 2008 before Puhua’s formation.

Net income

Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 33.8 percent to $3,519,860 from $2,630,636 in the same period of 2008.

We believe the net income increase was primarily due to the significantly improved sales. The overall real estate market condition in Xi’an has improved since the beginning of 2009 and through the third quarter, which is also demonstrated in the pre-sales results of our current projects under construction, i.e. JunJing II Phase one and Phase two. In the third quarter, we were able to recognize approximately $21 million as revenue and were able to secure approximately $21.95 million in new contracts. As of September 30, 2009, we have pre-sold 111,463 sq. meters out of 136,012 sq. meters total GFA of Junjing II Phase one, approximately 82% on the GFA basis and 91% on the unit basis.

With the introduction of JunJing II Phase two, we also expect the gross margin to improve slightly in the future, primarily because of the generally better quality and higher average price of JunJing II  Phase two. The average price for Phase two has reached $732/square meter, $91 higher than Phase one. 
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share
 
Basic earnings per share was $0.11 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.09 in the same period of 2008. Diluted earnings per share was $0.11 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.07 in the same period of 2008. The number of shares outstanding doesn’t change significantly from year to year. But earnings available to distribute increased greatly from $2.63 million in third quarter of 2008 to $3.52 million this year. The improved EPS and diluted EPS mainly demonstrated the good performance of the Company during the first nine months of this year.

Common shares used to calculate basic and diluted EPS

The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share was 30,987,760 shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 30,389,712 shares in the same period of 2008. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate the diluted earnings per share was 30,996,953 shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 30,436,461 shares in the same period of 2008.

Foreign exchange

The company operates in China and the functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (RMB) but the reporting currency is U.S. dollar, based on the exchange rates of the two currencies. The fluctuation of exchange rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the same period of 2008, when translating the operating results and financial positions at different exchange rates, created the accrued gain (loss) on foreign exchange. The loss on foreign exchange in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $242,176, compared with a gain of $6,176,248 in the same period of 2008.

Cash flow discussion

There is net cash outflow of $18,341,447 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $11,259,992 cash inflow during the same period of 2008.

 
-41-

 

The major cash outflow is from operating activities. The outflow was $10,808,209 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $14,884,371 in the same period of 2008. In the nine month of this year, cash is used for the development of Tsining JunJing II Phase One, Phase Two and Puhua Project.

A cash inflow $447,990 appeared at investing activities segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the cash outflow of $617,060 for the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to a change in restricted cash, which brought $110,130 cash inflow to the Company instead of $755,376 outflow last year.  Also, the cash from acquired business contributed $0.5 million cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

There was a cash outflow of $7,981,228 for financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $26,761,423 of inflow in 2008. The difference is primarily attributable to the fact that the Company issued the $20 million Convertible Debt and warrants in the first quarter of 2008. Meanwhile the Company also repaid $18.4 million bank loan creating a significant cash outflow.
 
Debt leverage

Total debt consists of Payables for acquisition of businesses, Loans from employees, Loans payable and Convertible Debt.

Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2009 was $52,641,189 compared with $59,186,304 on December 31, 2008.

Net debt outstanding (total debt less cash) as of September 30, 2009 was $32,857,725 compared with $20,955,952 on December 31, 2008. Cash decreased to $19.1 million at September 30, 2009 from $37.4 million on December 31, 2008 is a major reason. The company's net debt as a percentage of total capital (net debt plus shareholders' equity) was 21 percent on September 30, 2009 and 16 percent on December 31, 2008, which increased slightly due to the cash balance decrease.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal liquidity demands are based on the development of new properties, property acquisitions, and general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $19,089,130 of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $18,336,210, compared with $37,425,340 of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and an increase of $8,955,530 as of June 30, 2009. Our cash flow from operating activities used over $10.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with an outflow of $15.1 million in the Second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Along with progress in projects, we started seeing positive cash flow from operations and we can use this internal generated cash flow to fund our projects in the pipeline.

Loans payable

Loans payable represent amounts due to various banks and are due on demand or normally due within one or two years. These loans generally can be renewed with the banks when the loans mature.

Most of the obligations of the Company are tied to specific projects. The terms of the loans typically are 1 to 3 years. Loan extensions are determined by mutual agreement when the current term expires and both parties will consider the remaining time needed to complete the project. Most of these loans are payable when the project has been completed and the residents or businesses take possession.

On June 28, 2008, the Company signed a strategic partnership Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with China Construction Bank Xi’an Branch that established a RMB 1 billion credit line for real estate development of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the MOU, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to set up a basic deposit account with China Construction Bank, to maintain a current ratio of not less than 90% and to maintain liabilities to assets ratio of not greater than 65%. On August 28, 2008, the Company entered a first loan agreement with China Construction Bank Xi’an Branch to draw down the first RMB 150 million loans, which will mature on August 27, 2011. $21,986,075 (RMB 150 million) was received by the Company on December 31, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid down the loan to $7,617,708 (RMB 52 million). On August 30, 2009, the Company entered a second loan agreement with China Construction Bank Xi’an Branch to draw down another RMB 85 million loan, which will mature on September 8, 2012. $12,452,023 (RMB 85 million) was received by the Company by September 30, 2009.

As of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, our current ratios were approximately 255.1% and 221.8%, respectively, and our liabilities to assets ratios were approximately 49.3% and 49.1%, respectively. The Company will be able to draw down approximately another $107.3 million before we reach the maximum liabilities to assets ratio of 65%.

Liquidity expectation

The company believes that the combination of present capital resources, internally generated funds, and unused financing sources are more than adequate to meet cash requirements for the year 2009.

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of land for the development of our future projects, through cash flow provided by operations and additional funds raised by future financings. Upon acquiring land for future developments, we intend to raise funds to develop our projects by obtaining mortgage financing mainly from local banking institutions with which we have done business in the past. We believe that our relationships with these banks are in good standing and that our real estate will secure the loans needed. We believe that adequate cash flow will be available to fund our operations.

As part of our funding plan, on March 9, 2007, we entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with the shareholders of New Land, under which we have acquired 32,000,000 shares of the New Land, constituting 100 percent equity ownership of New Land.

New Land is now in cooperation with the Baqiao District Government of Xi'an City to develop the Baqiao Science & Technology Industrial Park, a provincial development zone in Shaanxi Province. With this acquisition, the company gained the right to develop and sell 487 acres of property that has been targeted for new residential developments.

The majority of the company's revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in renminbi (RMB), the currency of the People's Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. dollar will remain stable. The company does not engage in currency hedging. Inflation has not had a material impact on the company's business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to the following market risks, including but not limit to:
 
General Real Estate Risk

There is a risk that the Company’s property values could go down due to general economic conditions, a weak market for real estate generally, or changing supply and demand. The Company’s property held for sale value, approximately $13 million at the end of September 2007, may change due to market fluctuations. Currently, it is valued at its cost which is significantly below the market value.

Risk Relating to Property Sales
 
The Company may not be able to sell a property at a particular time for its full value, particularly in a poor market.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
The Company is doing all of its business in the People’s Republic of China. All revenue and profit are denominated in RMB. When the RMB depreciates, it may adversely affect the Company’s financial performance. Specifically, since the Company’s recent $20 million senior Convertible Debt interest payment is denominated in U.S. dollars, the depreciation of the RMB may incur additional cost to its financial cost.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

(a)     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective due to the identified significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has engaged Ernest & Young to aid in the compliance with SOX 404.
 
(b)     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
